  • Ecclesiastical Circumscriptions and Their Relationship with the Diocesan Bishop
    CANON 294 ECCLESIASTICAL CIRCUMSCRIPTIONS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DIOCESAN BISHOP What is the relationship of the faithful in personal ecclesiastical circumscriptions to the local diocesan bishop? OPINION The Apostolic See, in the Annual General Statistical Questionnaire, asks diocesan bishops the number of priests in the ecclesiastical circumscription of the diocese, their country of origin and whether they are diocesan or religious. The fact that the diocesan bishop is answering these questions indicates the close relationship between himself and any personal Ecclesiastical Circumscription. Canons 215 and 216 of the 1917 Code required that ecclesiastical circumscriptions be territorial within a diocese and an apostolic indult was needed, for example, to establish personal parishes for an ethnic group of the faithful. After World War II, Pope Pius XII provided for the pastoral care of refugees and migrants in his apostolic constitution Exsul Familia in 1952. Chaplains for migrants were granted special faculties to facilitate pastoral care without receiving the power of jurisdiction or governance. The Second Vatican Council admitted personal criteria in ecclesiastical organisation. The decree Christus Dominus 11 held that the essential element of a particular Church is personal, being a “portion of the people of God”. Personal factors are crucial to determine the communitarian aspect of the makeup of a community. After Vatican II, the Code of Canon Law needed revision. The Synod of Bishops in 1967 approved the principles to guide the revision of the code. The eighth principle stated: “The principle of territoriality in the exercise of ecclesiastical government is to be revised somewhat, for contemporary apostolic factors seem to recommend personal jurisdictional units.

  • Canon Law and Ecclesiology II the Ecclesiological Implications of the 1983 Code of Canon Law
    302 THEOLOGICAL TRENDS Canon Law and Ecclesiology II The Ecclesiological Implications of the 1983 Code of Canon Law Introduction N A PREVIOUS article, published in The Way, January 1982, I gave an I outline of the highly centralized and clerical view of the Church that was common in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This was the view of the Church that was expounded in most seminary text-books on the subject. It was this notion of the Church, too, that was reflected in the 1917 Code of Canon Law, and I indicated a number of examples of this centralized approach from the 1917 Code: local customs as such were considered undesirable (C.5); bishops were forbidden to grant dispensations from the general law of the Church, unless the faculty to do so had been expressly granted them by the Pope, or the case was particularly urgent. I also indicated that this same theological outlook was evident in the whole structure and content of Book II of the 1917 Code. I went on then to show how the second Vatican Council put forward a doctrine of the Church which puts greater emphasis on the importance of the local Church. The universal Church is now seen not primarily as a society of individuals, but as abody with different organs, each having its own proper characteristics, a communion of churches, together making up the Catholic Church. In this second article, I shall consider how this conciliar teaching has influenced the structure and contents of the new Code of Canon Law, promulgated by Pope John Paul II on 25 January of this year, 1983.

  • To the Members of the John Paul II Foundation: the Formation of the Young Is an Investment for the Future
    N. 161021a Friday 21.10.2016 To the members of the John Paul II Foundation: the formation of the young is an investment for the future This morning in the Consistory Hall Pope Francis received the members of the St. John Paul II Foundation, whose president is Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko, and which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. The Foundation supports initiatives of an educational, cultural, religious and charitable character, inspired by St. John Paul II, whose liturgical memory is celebrated tomorrow, and is active in various countries especially in Eastern Europe, where it has enabled many students to complete their studies. The celebration of the anniversary allows the Foundation to evaluate the work that has been carried out so far, and at the same time to look to the future with new aims and objectives. The Pope therefore encouraged its members to continue their efforts in the promotion and support of younger generations, so that they may face life’s challenges, always inspired by an evangelical sensibility and the spirit of faith. “The formation of the young is an investment for the future: may the young never be robbed of their hope for a better tomorrow!”. “The Jubilee Year that is coming to an end encourages us to reflect and meditate on the greatness of God’s mercy in a time in which humanity, due to advances in various fields of technology and science, tends to consider itself to be self-sufficient, as if it were emancipated from any higher authority, believing that everything depends on itself alone. As Christians, however, we are aware that everything is a gift from God and that the true wealth is not money, which on the contrary can enslave, but rather God’s love, which sets us free”.

  • Legalization of Greek Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia in 1968
    E-Theologos, Vol. 1, No. 2 DOI 10.2478/v10154-010-0017-3 Legalization of Greek Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia in 1968 Jaroslav Coranič University of Prešov in Prešov, Faculty of Greek-Catholic Theology A re-legalization of the Greek Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia was one of the most important results of the revival of socio - political process of the Prague Spring. This Church, unlike the Roman Catholic Church in the period 1950 - 1968 did not even exist legally. It was due to power interference of the communist state power in 1950. The plan of Commu- nist Party assumed the "transformation" of Greek Catholic Church into the Orthodox one. Procedure of liquidation of the Greek Catholic Church later came to be known as Action "P". Its climax came in April 28th 1950, when “sobor of Presov”, being prepared for a longer time, took place. The gath- ering in “sobor” manipulated by the communists declared in “sobor” the abolition of the Union with the Vatican, as a result the Greek Catholic Church ceased exist in Czechoslovakia and the clergy and faithful were meant to became the members of the Orthodox Church.1 In fact only a small part of the Greek Catholic clergy succumbed to power pressure and accepted Orthodoxy. Church leaders, as well as many priests who refused to change to the Orthodox have been arrested and sentenced to many years of punishment. The other Greek-Catholic clergy and their families were deported to the Czech lands and were forbidden to perform a duty of priestly ministry and banned from staying in eastern Slovakia for several years.

    THE ANGELUS ENGLISH-LANGUAGE ARTICLE REPRINT Let your speech be “Yes, yes: no, no”; whatever is beyond these comes from the evil one. (Mt. 5:37) January 2009 Reprint #84 THE STATE OF NECEssITY In a letter dated July 8, 1987, Archbishop Lefebvre Rome’s extended hand, and, following its founder, the wrote to Cardinal Ratzinger: “The permanent will to Society of St. Pius X always remains ready to respond annihilate Tradition is a suicidal will, which justifies, favorably to the opportunity of these discussions with by its very existence, true and faithful Catholics when the authorities of the hierarchy. But these contacts have they make the decisions necessary for the survival of only one goal: to let the pure and integral voice of the Church and the salvation of souls.”1 In his homily Catholic Tradition be heard in Rome so that it might on the day of the episcopal consecrations of June 30, recover its rights in the whole Church. The discussions 1988, the Archbishop returned to this rule, from which will be in vain for as long as Rome maintains in he deduced the legitimacy of his actions. “Thus,” he principle the corrupted teachings of the Second Vatican explained, “we find ourselves in a case of necessity....
