  • Document Confirms Pope Pius XII's Efforts to Save Jews, Expert Says
    Document confirms Pope Pius XII’s efforts to save Jews, expert says VATICAN CITY – A document found in a Rome convent confirms that Pope Pius XII quietly ordered church institutions to open their doors to Jews fleeing Nazi arrest and deportation, a church expert said. “The Holy Father wants to save his children, including the Jews, and orders that hospitality be shown to these persecuted people in the convents,” said a note found in the historical journal of the Augustinian Community of Santi Quattro Coronati. The note, written by one of the nuns and dated November 1943, had an appendix with the names of 24 people, including Jews, who were hidden by the sisters of the cloistered convent, located near the Colosseum. Nazi soldiers began rounding up thousands of Jews in Rome and shipping them to death camps in October 1943. One of the accusations against Pope Pius XII, repeated in a number of books in recent years, was that he did little or nothing to stop the deportations. Jesuit Father Peter Gumpel, the “relator” or investigating judge of the sainthood cause of Pope Pius, found the document and spoke about it with Vatican Radio March 4. He said it was an important written confirmation of the many oral reports of Pope Pius’ concern for the Jews and his unpublicized efforts to help them. “The saving efforts of Pius XII, which have also been verified by many Jewish sources, were carried out through personal messengers – priests – who were sent to various Catholic institutions and houses here in Rome,” Father Gumpel said.

  • Pope Paul VI (1897-1978) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Pope Paul VI (1897-1978) [1] By: Brind'Amour, Katherine Garcia, Benjamin Keywords: Catholicism [2] Popes [3] Contraception [4] Pope Paul VI [5], born Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini, has been crucial to the clarification of Roman Catholic views on embryos and abortion [6] in recent history. His 1968 encyclical “Humanae Vitae” spoke to the regulation [7] of birth through various methods of contraception [8] and sterilization [9]. This encyclical, a result of Church hesitancy to initiate widespread discussion of the issue in a council of the Synod of Bishops, led to much controversy in the Church but established a firm Catholic position on the issues of birth control [10] and family planning [11]. Montini was born 26 September 1897 at Concesio in Lombardy. His father was an editor and lawyer, thus Montini came from an upper-class, well-educated family. He received his early schooling from the Jesuits in Brescia, joined the seminary in 1916, and was ordained in 1920. Shortly thereafter, he was sent to the University of Rome [12] and the Gregorian University to continue his studies, but soon transferred to Accademia dei Nobili Ecclesiastici in 1922, where he began studying diplomacy. In 1923 Montini was sent to Warsaw, Poland, to be the attaché of the nunciature, or “head of the region,” but an especially harsh winter forced him to return to Rome for health reasons. Back in Rome he was named Secretariat of State, a position he held for the next thirty years. During this period he also taught at the Accademia dei Nobili Ecclesiastici and was named chaplain of the Federation of Italian Catholic University Students.

No need to specify which Mass: there was only one, the Mass that has been handed down through the centuries, by faithful Bishops to their successors, the priests whom they themselves ordained to say it. When I was about 12 years old, I remember walking, with my younger sister and her friend, along a railroad track into the next town to attend Mass on the first Friday of the month. My parents had sent me to supervise the group at a summer camp, and there was no Church in the area. So three of us set out early in the morning on a beautiful summer day to go to Mass and receive Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. The area was new to us, we probably did not walk fast enough - for whatever reason - Mass was just finishing as we arrived.

Shea: Pope Paul VI and the "Mother of the Church" POPE PAUL VI AND THE "MOTHER OF THE CHURCH" Presidential Address by THE RT. REv. MSGR. GEoRGE W. SHEA, S.T.D. Among all the events of the past year, certainly the one of most abiding importance for Catholics was the promulgation by Pope Paul VI, on Nov. 21, 1964, of the Second Vatican Council's masterwork, the dogmatic constitution "On the Church." Specialists in the field of Mariology are particularly grate­ ful for the constitution's eighth and last chapter, "On the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, in the Mystery of Christ and of the Church." But they are hardly less grateful for the Holy Father's personal completion, as it were, of the doctrine of that chapter, when, in his discourse concluding the third session of the Council, he made explicit something which the chapter says only implicitly, namely, that Mary is "the Mother of the Church." On this subject Pope Paul said, in part: "By he promulgation of today's constitution, which has as its crown and summit a whole chapter dedicated to Our Lady, we can rightly affirm that the present session ends as an incomparable hymn of praise in honor of Mary.

    Participants in Dramatic Presentation that Follows. Narrator 1. Narrator 2. Archbishop Secretary Vicar Mother Theresa Confessor Sisters – response of group. Minutes1 Taken in the Motherhouse of the Poor School Sisters on the Anger in Munich, April 22, 1852, 6 p.m. Narrator 1: At noon on April 21, the archbishop’s secretary2 asked what time the archbishop could meet with the venerable mother superior,3 the reverend confessor,4 and all the professed sisters because he had a public announcement to make. Reverend Mother set the time for 5:30 p.m. Narrator 2: On April 22 at 4:45 p.m., the secretary came to inspect the room prepared for the meeting and was taken to the chapter room that had been arranged simply for the occasion. The secretary found it too gloomy and said that we had such beautiful rooms. Why could we not have chosen another? We responded that we had only one other room but it was much smaller. He could look at it, but it would no longer be heated and so he left it at that. At 5:45 p.m., Archbishop Karl August [von Reisach] came with Doctor [Friedrich] Windischmann, Vicar General. They were met at the entrance by the Reverend Confessor, Reverend Mother, and two sisters and then by all the professed sisters who were in the convent corridor. Narrator 1: Upon his arrival in the room, the archbishop began: Archbishop: “Recent events5 make it my duty in conscience, as your bishop, to direct my attention to your institute, which still does not have church approval.

  • History of the Church of the Holy Cross
    History of The Church of the Holy Cross Prior to the formation of an organized and separate place of worship, African American Episcopalians in Pittsburgh belonged to their local church. In the late 1800’s, several Blacks, concerned about the social isolation of their children and the segregated religious setting they experienced, began to push for the establishment of a separate mission to serve their needs. Among those who were instrumental in this effort was Sadie B. Hamilton, a graduate of Wilberforce University and a life-long Episcopalian. In response to this request in 1875, Bishop John Barrett Kerfoot (1816-1881) of the Diocese of Pittsburgh brought the Reverend W. F. Floyd to Pittsburgh to establish a mission among the “colored people” of this community. As a result of this effort, St. Cyprian’s Mission was established and met in Trinity Church parish house. In December 1877, The Reverend W. F. Floyd transferred to Cincinnati. On January 15, 1878, The Reverend William Wilson was ordained to the Priesthood in Trinity Church by Bishop Kerfoot and placed in charge of St. Cyprian’s Mission, which held services in a building on Wylie Avenue in Pittsburgh’s Hill District. The Reverend Wilson left Pittsburgh in 1897 and St. Cyprian’s Mission was closed by Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead (1882-1922). The mission was reopened at the Church Army Headquarters under Captain William B. Anderson and Captain G. P. Hance (d.1954), who later became Brother Hance, founder of St. Barnabas Home. The mission was moved to a storeroom at the corner of Centre Avenue and Roberts Streets in the Hill District where Captain Anderson and Oliver G.
