  • On Sunday, Sept. 3, 2000, Rome Beatified Both Pope Pius IX and Pope John XXIII, Along with Tommaso Reggio, Guillaume-Joseph Chaminade, and Columba Marmion
    26 On Sunday, Sept. 3, 2000, Rome beatified both Pope Pius IX and Pope John XXIII, along with Tommaso Reggio, Guillaume-Joseph Chaminade, and Columba Marmion. At the start of his homily, the Pope told the 100,000 faithful present that, in beatifying her children, “the Church does not celebrate particular historical achievements they may have accomplished, rather it identifies them as examples to be imitated and venerated for their virtues....” John XXIII, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, elected Pope in 1958, “impressed the world with his affability through which shone the goodness of his soul.... It is well known that John XXIII profoundly venerated Pius IX and wished for his beatification.” He convoked Vatican Council II, “with which he opened a new page in the history of the Church: Christians felt themselves called to announce the Gospel with renewed courage Was the “Good Pope” and greater attention to the ‘signs’ of the times.” THE ANGELUS September 2000 a Good Pope? Rev. Fr. michel simoulin 27 he list of books, studies, and articles extolling the “goodness” of Pope John XXIII is too long to be made here. The culminating point of this eulogizing–and it seems definitive–was the promulgation of the decree (Dec. 29, 1989) Tconcerning the “heroic” virtues of the Servant of God, Pope John XXIII. This would seem to put an end to all discussion. However, other studies or articles published pointing out the defects or weaknesses of the same Pope cannot be overlooked.1 The very “address of homage” directed to Pope John Paul II by the Prefect of the Congregation of the Causes of Saints (Dec.

  • Popes in History
    popes in history medals by Ľudmila Cvengrošová text by Mons . Viliam Judák Dear friends, Despite of having long-term experience in publishing in other areas, through the AXIS MEDIA company I have for the first time entered the environment of medal production. There have been several reasons for this decision. The topic going beyond the borders of not only Slovakia but the ones of Europe as well. The genuine work of the academic sculptress Ľudmila Cvengrošová, an admirable and nice artist. The fine text by the Bishop Viliam Judák. The “Popes in history” edition in this range is a unique work in the world. It proves our potential to offer a work eliminating borders through its mission. Literally and metaphorically, too. The fabulous processing of noble metals and miniatures produced with the smallest details possible will for sure attract the interest of antiquarians but also of those interested in this topic. Although this is a limited edition I am convinced that it will be provided to everybody who wants to commemorate significant part of the historical continuity and Christian civilization. I am pleased to have become part of this unique project, and I believe that whether the medals or this lovely book will present a good message on us in the world and on the world in us. Ján KOVÁČIK AXIS MEDIA 11 Celebrities grown in the artist’s hands There is one thing we always know for sure – that by having set a target for himself/herself an artist actually opens a wonderful world of invention and creativity. In the recent years the academic sculptress and medal maker Ľudmila Cvengrošová has devoted herself to marvellous group projects including a precious cycle of male and female monarchs of the House of Habsburg crowned at the St.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS JOHN PAUL II IN THE BASILICA OF ST FRANCIS OF ASSISI Assisi, Italy Sunday, 5 November 1978 Here I am in Assisi on this day that I have wished to dedicate specially to the Patron Saints of this country, Italy; a country to which God has called me in order that I may serve as St Peter's successor. Since I was not born in this land, I feel more than ever the need of a spiritual "birth" in it. And therefore, on this Sunday, I come as a pilgrim to Assisi, at the feet of St Francis, the Poverello, who wrote Christ's gospel in incisive characters in the hearts of the men of his time. We cannot be surprised that his fellow citizens have wished to see in him the Patron Saint of Italy. The Pope, who, owing to his mission, must have before his eyes the whole universal Church, the bride of Christ, in the various parts of the globe, particularly needs the help of the Patron Saint of Italy in his See in Rome; he needs the intercession of St Francis of Assisi.And so he arrives here today. He comes to visit this city, which is always a witness to the marvellous divine adventure that took place between the end of the twelfth and the beginning of the thirteenth century. It is a witness to that surprising holiness that passed here like a great breath of the Spirit. A breath in which St Francis of Assisi participated, as well as his spiritual sister St Clare and so many other saints born from their evangelical spirituality.

  • The Priestly Patriotic Associations in the Eastern European Countries
    231 Pregledni znanstveni članek (1.02) BV 68 (2008) 2, 231-256 UDK 272-784-726.3(4-11)«194/199« Bogdan Kolar SDB The Priestly Patriotic Associations in the Eastern European Countries Abstract: The priestly patriotic associations used to be a part of the every day life of the Catholic Church in the Eastern European countries where after World War II Com- munist Parties seized power putting in their programmes the elimination of the Catho- lic Church from the public life and in the final analysis the destruction of the religion in general. In spite of the fact that the associations were considered professional guilds of progressive priests with a particular national mission they were planned by their founders or instigators (mainly coming from various secret services and the offices for religious affairs) as a means of internal dissension among priests, among priests and bishops, among local Churches and the Holy See, and in the final stage also among the leaders of church communities and their members. A special attention of the totalitarian authorities was dedicated to the priests because they were in touch with the population and the most vulnerable part of the Church structures. To perform their duties became impossible if their relations with the local authorities as well as with the repressive in- stitutions were not regulated or if the latter set obstacles in fulfilling their priestly work. Taking into account the necessary historic and social context, the overview of the state of the matters in Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia), Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia demonstrates that the instigators of the priestly patriotic so- cieties followed the same pattern, used the same methods and defined the same goals of their activities.

    Church History I: The Early Papacy (c. 64 – 452 AD) “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matt. 16:18-19 NRSV) Milestones on the Development of the Papacy c. 64 – Peter and Paul were mostly likely martyred at Rome in this year during a short burst of persecution against Christians under the Emperor Nero following a devastating fire in the capital. According to tradition, Peter had also been bishop of Antioch before coming to Rome and after leaving Jerusalem. c. 96 – Clement of Rome intervened in a dispute in a surviving letter to the church at Corinth, which we know as I Clement. Some Corinthian presbyters had been deposed and Clement reminded the congregation that the apostles “appointed bishops and deacons in every place” and it was these appointees who gave directions as to how the ministry was to continue. c. 190 – Pope Victor I ordered synods to be held throughout Christendom to bring the date for the observance of Easter into line with Roman custom. He was not successful. The title pope, derived from the Latin and Greek words for father, was used for the occupants of several of the major episcopal sees throughout the empire in this period, such as Alexandria and Antioch as well as Rome.

Understanding Celebrations from Christmas to Pentecost • Epiphany • Carnival • Fat Tuesday • Ash Wednesday • Lent • Palm Sunday • Passover • Maundy Thursday • Good Friday • Resurrection Sunday • Ascension Day • Pentecost Epiphany • Epiphany, January 6, is the official end of the Christmas season, but it also kicks off Carnival season. • Epiphany day is 12 days after Christmas. • Some people fast during the 12 days and then celebrate the Epiphany feast on January 6th. January 6 until Fat Tuesday Carnival • Carnival is a festival held in many, predominately Roman Catholic, countries in the days leading up to Lent. • In contrast to the Lenten season’s forty-day focus on fasting and self-denial, Carnival is a time of excess and self- indulgence—a time to “eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we diet.” • Carnival is the indulgence before the fast, one last binge before having to give something up for forty days. • The most famous Carnival is held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, every year. Other Carnivals are held in Italy, Venice, Uruguay, and Spain, as well as in other parts of Brazil. In the United States, the events leading to Mardi Gras are the equivalent of Carnival. Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras • Mardi Gras, which is French for “Fat Tuesday,” is the last day of a season called “Carnival.” The Carnival season is characterized by merrymaking, feasting, and dancing. • Mardi Gras is the culmination of festivities and features parades, masquerades, and, unfortunately, often drunkenness and shameless debauchery.

While his office is called the papacy The Popes: A History, the jurisdiction of the episcopal see is called the Holy See. The Holy See is recognized by its adherence at various levels to The Popes: A History organization and by means of its diplomatic relations and political accords with many independent states. According to Catholic traditionthe apostolic see [9] of Rome was founded by Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the 1st century. The papacy is one of the most enduring institutions in the world and has had a prominent part in world history. In some periods of history, the papacy, which originally had no temporal powersaccrued wide secular powers rivaling those of temporal rulers. However, in recent centuries the temporal authority of the papacy has declined and the office is now almost exclusively focused on religious matters. In the early centuries of Christianitythis title was applied, especially in the east, to all bishops [21] and other senior clergy, and later became reserved in the west to the bishop of Rome, a reservation made official only in the 11th century. The Catholic Church teaches that the pastoral office, the office of shepherding the The Popes: A History, that was held by the apostles, as a group or "college" with Saint Peter The Popes: A History their head, is now held by their successors, the bishops, with the bishop of Rome the pope as their head.
