  • 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.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See PAENITENTIAM AGERE ENCYCLICAL OF POPE JOHN XXIII ON THE NEED FOR THE PRACTICE OF INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR PENANCE JULY 1, 1962 To His Venerable Brethren the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, and other Local Ordinaries who are at Peace and Communion with the Apostolic See. Venerable Brethren, Health and Apostolic Benediction. Doing penance for one's sins is a first step towards obtaining forgiveness and winning eternal salvation. That is the clear and explicit teaching of Christ, and no one can fail to see how justified and how right the Catholic Church has always been in constantly insisting on this. She is the spokesman for her divine Redeemer. No individual Christian can grow in perfection, nor can Christianity gain in vigor, except it be on the basis of penance. 2. That is why in Our Apostolic Constitution officially proclaiming the Second Ecumenical Vatican Council and urging the faithful to make a worthy spiritual preparation for this great event by prayer and other acts of Christian virtue, We included a warning to them not to overlook the practice of voluntary mortification.(1) A Request Repeated 3. And now, as the day for the opening of the Second Vatican Council draws nearer, We wish to repeat that request of Ours and dwell on it at greater length. In doing so We are confident that We are serving the best interests of this most important and solemn assembly. For while admitting that Christ is present to His Church "all days, even unto the consummation of the world,"(2) we must 2 think of Him as being even closer to men's hearts and minds during the time of an Ecumenical Council, for He is present in the persons of His legates, of whom He said quite emphatically "He who hears you, hears me."(3) 4.

  • My Brothers and Sisters, Today Pope Francis Will Canonize Blessed
    2nd Sunday of Easter - A Acts 2:42-47; I Peter 1:3-9; John 20:19-31 Little Flower - 4/27/14 My Brothers and Sisters, Today Pope Francis will canonize Blessed Pope John XXIII and Blessed Pope John Paul II. Pope John XXIII was born Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli on November 25, 1881. Following the death of Pope Pius XII, he was elected Pope on October 28, 1958. He convened the Second Vatican Council. People referred to him as the “good Pope” because of his Gospel kindness and pastoral care. He died on June 3, 1963. Pope John Paul II was born Karol Jósef Wojty³a on May 18, 1920 in Wadowice, Poland. Following the sudden death of Pope John Paul I, he was elected Pope on October 16, 1978. He was the second longest-serving pope in history and the first non-Italian since the death of Pope Adrian VI in 1523. As part of his ministry as pastor of the universal Church, he made 104 international apostolic journeys. He proclaimed 1338 blesseds and canonized 482 saints. He died on April 2, 2005, on the Vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday, which he had instituted. Today, the Second Sunday of Easter, we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday. The Gospel for this Sunday is always the same. As Catholics, we believe that this Gospel marks Jesus’ institution of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Therefore, homilies on this Sunday often focus on the Sacrament of Reconciliation as the sacrament of God’s mercy. However, we also believe that Jesus himself is the primary sacrament of God, and the Church is the sacrament of Jesus.
