Page 4 Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 4, 2010 Dear SMOW Family, I want to tell you how much I appreciate your generous donation to Faith in Practice. These monies help continue medi- cal outreach in Guatemala. I have been so blessed to be able to serve in Guatemala directly. I am inspired by the Guatemalans sense of hope, faith in God, and trust in our care. It is an honor to feel such appreciation. Before each surgery, our team minister and a pre-op nurse pray with each patient. I often miss this beautiful ceremony because I am preparing for their anesthetic. I was fortunate enough to witness a patient praying. He was so sincere and enthu- siastic in his prayer. I had to giggle because he blessed us and prayed for safe travel for "the gringos." It is touching to see his concerns were for our safety while awaiting his own operation. Each day begins at 0600 with morning devotions. We then walk about three blocks to the hospital. Along the walk, my "buenos dias" are greeted with genuine, infectious smiles. No one is too distracted, rushed, or suspicious to give a warm greeting. I loved greeting the boy with his milk goats. A great start to each day. The clinic is run by a physician and a group of Franciscan nuns, or hermanas. The hermanas also run an orphanage for 80 to 100 children. An un- planned part of our mission, is going outside when surgeries are finished to play with the children. I received so many hugs and smiles. We exchanged our language skills (or not) while blowing bubbles, drawing faces with side walk chalk and running foot races. The time I spent in Guatemala provided dual blessings not only to our patients and the orphans, but also to myself. I am so blessed to be able to participate and serve. Thank-you for your prayers and encouraging words and for finan- cially supporting our mission efforts. Sincerely, Elise Marren Dear Parishioners of SMOW, WE NEED YOUR HELP TO BALANCE THE PARISH BUDGET Thank you very much for welcoming me in During the past year, much effort has gone into reduc- your parish a second time, to exhibit and sell the ing school and parish expenses, all without dropping pro- handicrafts made by our destitute and marginal- grams, ministries or reducing access to parish facilities.

ALMS COLLECTION NEXT WEEK FOR MISSION HONDURAS INTERNATIONAL’S LIBERIA MISSION INCOPORATED Mission Honduras International is a Catholic Missionary Organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty for children and families through material and spiritual support and a Catholic education. Mission Honduras International currently oper- ates Liberia Mission Inc. in West Africa. Founded in 2003 just as the civil war was ending, Liberia Mission began with just six orphaned children. Today, it is a vibrant, life-saving community of love, learning, work and prayer, serving over 340 mis- sion children as well as the surrounding villages. At Liberia Mission, poor and orphaned children - survivors of Liberia’s long and brutal civil war - are learning to become future leaders in their families, communities, and country. Liberia Mission is home to 114 boys and girls, St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, and St. Anthony of Padua School (K-9), which edu- cates an additional 220 children from surrounding villages who would not otherwise have access to education, medical care, adequate food and shelter, and faith-formation. Liberia Mission is considered by many to be the best mission of its kind in Liberia. At a February 24, 2010 ceremony at Libe- ria Mission, Monsignor Andrew Karnley from the Archdiocese of Monrovia said, “Liberia Mission Incorporated is the great- est thing to happen to Liberia since the end of the second civil war in 2003. There is simply no other way to state it. Its im- pact on the past, its impact now, and its impact in the future cannot be over stated... We are a blessed country because of this mission." Liberia Mission is grateful to St. Mary of the Woods parishioners John and Sue Dewan who have offered their invaluable sup- port and service to build and sustain Liberia Mission.

    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Pope Innocent XI (1611-1689) [1] By: Brind'Amour, Katherine Garcia, Benjamin Keywords: Catholicism [2] Popes [3] Abortion [4] Fetus [5] Pope Innocent XI [6], born Benedetto Odescalchi, made considerable contributions to the Roman Catholic approach to embryology [7] by condemning several propositions on liberal moral theology in 1679, including two related to abortion [8] and ensoulment [9]. His rejection of these principles strengthened the Church’s stance against abortion [8] and for the idea of “hominization,” meaning the presence of human qualities before birth. He was born 19 May in 1611 in Como, Italy, and began his studies under the Jesuits at Como before studying jurisprudence at both Naples and Rome. Pope Urban VIII named him prothonotary, president of the Apostolic Camera, commissary at Ancona, administrator of Macerata, and governor of Picena in succession. Shortly thereafter he was appointed cardinal-deacon of Santi Cosma e Damiano in 1645 before being named cardinal-priest of Sant’ Onofrio by Pope Innocent X. During his time as cardinal, Odescalchi was beloved by his people for his love, charity, and devotion to his position. He spent the majority of his time and effort trying to preserve the purity of faith and the morals that governed this purity. This effort to maintain traditionalism and wholesomeness resulted in regulating the dress of Roman women, suppressing the gambling houses, and encouraging receiving daily Communion. Odescalchi was actually introduced to the famine-stricken people of Ferrara as “Mittimus patrem pauperum,” meaning “father of the poor” because of his characteristic attention to their needs.

I). The monumental palace stretches for eighty ,five metres along the Western flank of the piazza from the Southern corner coward the Northern end. The exceptionally long fapde is organised into a symmetrical sequence of bays with a projecting central section and is buttressed, at the North end, by a distinct fapde with a large serliana win, dow (an arch with crabeaced sides). The exterior boasts a profusion of ornament that enlivens the surface and punctuates the horizontality of the building. Through sheer scale and abundance of form, the Palazzo Pamphilj bespeaks grandeur and authority. Architecture serves the rhetorical functions of communication and persuasion. In the early modem period (ca. 1500-1800), palaces in particular became synonymous with the statm of their owners. Today, the Palazzo Pamphilj houses the Embassy of Brazil in Rome, but until the government ofBrazil purchased the palace in 1960, it had belonged to the Pamphilj family.

  • FRANCIS BACON Nn Francis Bacon
    FRANCIS BACON n Francis Bacon 1. INTRODUCTION | Read this short presentation about Francis Bacon and summarize the main facts about his life and works. rancis Bacon (Dublin 1909 – Madrid 1992) produced some Fof the most iconic images of wounded and traumatized humanity in post-war art. Borrowing inspiration from Surrealism, film, photography, and Francis Bacon in his study the Old Masters, he forged a distinctive style that made him one of the most widely in the early recognized exponents of figurative art in the 1940s and 1950s. Bacon concentrated 1960s. his energies on portraiture, often depicting friends or habitués of the bars and clubs of London’s Soho neighborhood. But his subjects were always violently distorted, presented not as sociable and charismatic types but as isolated souls imprisoned and tormented by existential dilemmas. He often said in interviews that he saw images “in series”, and his artistic output typically focused on a single subject or format for sustained periods. His output consisted of sequences or variations on a single motif; beginning with the 1940s male heads isolated in rooms, the early 1950s screaming popes, and mid-to late 1950s lone figures suspended in geometric structures. From the mid-1960s to early 1970s, Bacon mainly produced strikingly compassionate portraits of friends, either as single or triptych panels. In the 1980s, his art became more personal, inward looking and preoccupied with themes and motifs of death. During his lifetime, Bacon was equally reviled and acclaimed. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher described him as “that man who paints those dreadful pictures”, but his reputation was elevated further after his death and he was the subject of two retrospective exhibitions at London’s Tate Gallery, which celebrated him as one of the world’s most important painters.

  • The Woman Behind a Lost Velázquez Donna Olimpia Maidalchini Pamphilj Rose to the Heights in the Vatican
    Baroque feminist, pope’s lover … the woman behind a lost Velázquez Donna Olimpia Maidalchini Pamphilj rose to the heights in the Vatican. Now a work by Velázquez, unseen since 1724, is set to fetch millions at Sotheby’s Harriet Sherwood Portrait of Olimpia Maidalchini Pamphilj was painted by Spanish master Diego Velázquez during a visit to Rome in 1650. Photograph: Chris J Ratcliffe/Getty Images for Sotheby's For almost 300 years, it was thought lost or destroyed. But now a portrait of one of history’s most formidable women by one of the world’s greatest painters has been rediscovered – and it will go under the hammer next month. The Portrait of Olimpia Maidalchini Pamphilj, painted in the mid-17th century by the Spanish master Diego Velázquez, has undergone painstaking authentication and conservation by Sotheby’s since it was brought to the auction house’s Amsterdam office 18 months ago. With an estimated price of £2m-£3m, it could be bought by either a private collector or a world-class museum. “Velázquez is one of the absolute stand-out titans of European and world painting. This portrait is unquestionably of interest to scholars and admirers of Velázquez alike,” said James Macdonald, Sotheby’s senior specialist in Old Master paintings. It is also a rare depiction of the most influential, avaricious and manipulative woman in 17th-century Rome. Olimpia Maidalchini Pamphilj was the power behind the papal throne, and the reputed lover as well as sister-in-law of Pope Innocent X. Nicknamed Papessa – the lady pope – Donna Olimpia was an ardent feminist, championing Rome’s prostitutes and nuns alike.

Blanchard, B.A., MSt. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2018 ABSTRACT EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FORERUNNERS OF VATICAN II: EARLY MODERN CATHOLIC REFORM AND THE SYNOD OF PISTOIA Shaun L. Blanchard Marquette University, 2018 This dissertation sheds further light on the nature of church reform and the roots of the Second Vatican Council (1962–65) through a study of eighteenth-century Catholic reformers who anticipated Vatican II. The most striking of these examples is the Synod of Pistoia (1786), the high-water mark of “late Jansenism.” Most of the reforms of the Synod were harshly condemned by Pope Pius VI in the Bull Auctorem fidei (1794), and late Jansenism was totally discredited in the increasingly ultramontane nineteenth-century Catholic Church. Nevertheless, many of the reforms implicit or explicit in the Pistoian agenda – such as an exaltation of the role of bishops, an emphasis on infallibility as a gift to the entire church, religious liberty, a simpler and more comprehensible liturgy that incorporates the vernacular, and the encouragement of lay Bible reading and Christocentric devotions – were officially promulgated at Vatican II.

  • Social Science
    Myth at the heart of the Roman Empire The D'Arpino frescoes Jessica Hughes: Wow ...... these are absolutely stunning. By the seventeenth century the political power in Rome had shifted to the church. Jessica Hughes: In this room we've got a series of episodes from the first book of Livy, which give exemplary pictures of the virtues and vices of early Rome. And they really show richness and abundance, there's no mistaking that the people who commissioned this room have an awful lot of money and power. Statues of Pope Urban VIII and Pope Innocent X dominate the room. Jessica Hughes: When you look at this scene today, you can't help but notice the enormous statue of Pope Innocent X that’s underneath it. This was added after the paintings were completed, but Pope Innocent would have been very pleased with the connection that was being made between himself and the foundation myths because in the C17th it was very important for the leading families of Rome and the cardinals and the popes to associate themselves with the episode that Livy recounts in his Histories. The Pamphili family to whom Pope Innocent belonged wasn’t originally from Rome, they'd recently arrived, and so they thought it was really important to stress their continuity with ancient Rome, particularly as they saw themselves as descended from Rome's legendary founders, so Aescanius or Iulus and Aeneas. Why did these pagan myths still have so much relevance in a Christian era? Chris Smith: One of the great things about the foundation myths is that they are extraordinarily dramatic and you have a wonderful confluence, I think, of two different things.

  • The Theater of Piety: Sacred Operas for the Barberini Family In
    The Theater of Piety: Sacred Operas for the Barberini Family (Rome, 1632-1643) Virginia Christy Lamothe A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Tim Carter, chair Annegret Fauser Anne MacNeil John Nádas Jocelyn Neal © 2009 Virginia Christy Lamothe ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Virginia Christy Lamothe: “The Theater of Piety: Sacred Operas for the Barberini Family (Rome, 1632-1643)” (Under the direction of Tim Carter) In a time of religious war, plague, and reformation, Pope Urban VIII and his cardinal- nephews Antonio and Francesco Barberini sought to establish the authority of the Catholic Church by inspiring audiences of Rome with visions of the heroic deeds of saints. One way in which they did this was by commissioning operas based on the lives of saints from the poet Giulio Rospigliosi (later Pope Clement IX), and papal musicians Stefano Landi and Virgilio Mazzocchi. Aside from the merit of providing an in-depth look at four of these little-known works, Sant’Alessio (1632, 1634), Santi Didimo e Teodora (1635), San Bonifatio (1638), and Sant’Eustachio (1643), this dissertation also discusses how these operas reveal changing ideas of faith, civic pride, death and salvation, education, and the role of women during the first half of the seventeenth century. The analysis of the music and the drama stems from studies of the surviving manuscript scores, libretti, payment records and letters about the first performances.
