A Letter to Pope Francis Concerning His Past, the Abysmal State of Papism, and a Plea to Return to Holy Orthodoxy
A Letter to Pope Francis Concerning His Past, the Abysmal State of Papism, and a Plea to Return to Holy Orthodoxy The lengthy letter that follows was written by His Eminence, the Metropolitan of Piraeus, Seraphim, and His Eminence, the Metropolitan of Dryinoupolis, Andrew, both of the Church of Greece. It was sent to Pope Francis on April 10, 2014. The Orthodox Christian Information Center (OrthodoxInfo.com) assisted in editing the English translation. It was posted on OrthodoxInfo.com on Great and Holy Monday, April 14, 2014. The above title was added for the English version and did not appear in the Greek text. Metropolitan Seraphim is well known and loved in Greece for his defense of Orthodoxy, his strong stance against ecumenism, and for the philanthropic work carried out in his Metropolis (http://www.imp.gr/). His Metropolis is also well known for Greece’s first and best ecclesiastical radio station: http://www.pe912fm.com/. This radio station is one of the most important tools for Orthodox outreach in Greece. Metropolitan Seraphim was born in 1956 in Athens. He studied law and theology, receiving his master’s degree and his license to practice law. In 1980 he was tonsured a monk and ordained to the holy diaconate and the priesthood by His Beatitude Seraphim of blessed memory, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece. He served as the rector of various churches and as the head ecclesiastical judge for the Archdiocese of Athens (1983) and as the Secretary of the Synodal Court of the Church of Greece (1985-2000). In December of 2000 the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarch elected him as an auxiliary bishop of the Holy Archdiocese of Australia in which he served until 2002.

Apostolic Succession in the Porvoo Common Statement Unity Through a Deeper Sense of Apostolicity
Apostolic Succession in the Porvoo Common Statement Unity through a deeper sense of apostolicity Erik Eckerdal Uppsala University Thesis 2017-08-01 Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Ihre-salen, Engelska parken, Uppsala, Friday, 22 September 2017 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Faculty of Theology). The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor Susan K Wood (Marquette University). Abstract Eckerdal, E. 2017. Apostolic Succession in the Porvoo Common Statement. Unity through a deeper sense of apostolicity. 512 pp. Uppsala: Department of Theology, Uppsala University. ISBN 978-91-506-2829-6. A number of ecumenical dialogues have identified apostolic succession as one of the most crucial issues on which the churches need to find a joint understanding in order to achieve the unity of the Church. When the Porvoo Common Statement (PCS) was published in 1993, it was regarded by some as an ecumenical breakthrough, because it claimed to have established visible and corporate unity between the Lutheran and Anglican churches of the Nordic-Baltic-British-Irish region through a joint understanding of ecclesiology and apostolic succession. The consensus has been achieved, according to the PCS, through a ‘deeper understanding’ that embraces the churches’ earlier diverse interpretations. In the international debate about the PCS, the claim of a ‘deeper understanding’ as a solution to earlier contradictory interpretations has been both praised and criticised, and has been seen as both possible and impossible. This thesis investigates how and why the PCS has been interpreted differently in various contexts, and discerns the arguments used for or against the ecclesiology presented in the PCS.

Mary: Grace and Hope in Christ -1
MARY: GRACE AND HOPE IN CHRIST Preface by the Co-Chairmen: In the continuing journey toward full communion, the Roman Catholic Church and the Churches of the Anglican Communion have for many years prayerfully considered a number of questions concerning the faith we share and the way we articulate it in the life and worship of our two households of faith. We have submitted Agreed Statements to the Holy See and to the Anglican Communion for comment, further clarification if necessary, and conjoint acceptance as congruent with the faith of Anglicans and Roman Catholics. In framing this Agreed Statement, we have drawn on the Scriptures and the common tradition which predates the Reformation and the Counter Reformation. As in previous Anglican - Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) documents, we have attempted to use language that reflects what we hold in common and transcends the controversies of the past. At the same time, in this statement we have had to face squarely dogmatic definitions which are integral to the faith of Roman Catholics but largely foreign to the faith of Anglicans. The members of ARCIC, over time, have sought to embrace one another's ways of doing theology and have considered together the historical context in which certain doctrines developed. In so doing, we have learned to receive anew our own traditions, illumined and deepened by the understanding of and appreciation for each other's tradition. Our Agreed Statement concerning the Blessed Virgin Mary as pattern of grace and hope is a powerful reflection of our efforts to seek out what we hold in common and celebrates important aspects of our common heritage.

The communion of the Church is derived from the divine love between the three Persons of the Trinity and gives rise to communion among the faithful.

Paix Liturgique Anglais
PAIX LITURGIQUE Letter 64 published 4 October 2015 ARCHBISHOP GULLICKSON, BISHOP AILLET, AND THE EXTRAORDINARY FORM In early September the Bishops of Switzerland, considering their generally progressive orientation, made a surprising move: they elected as their new president Charles Morerod, bishop of Lausanne, Geneva, and Fribourg. From 2004 to 2008, this very Ratzingerian Dominican theologian had handled the delicate exploratory mission of doctrinal discussions with the SSPX in an unofficial capacity. By 2009 he was General Secretary of the International Theological Commission and rector of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum). As such he was among the Roman experts during the doctrinal talks with the SSPX under Pope Benedict XVI. He has been bishop of Lausanne, Geneva, and Fribourg since 2011 and will assume the presidency of the Swiss bishops’ conference on 1 January 2016. On the previous 5 September, Pope Francis named the current nuncio to Ukraine, Archbishop Thomas Edward Gullickson, a 65-year-old American churchman, as apostolic nuncio to Switzerland. We’ve been following Abp. Gullickson’s blog for a few years; he’s been running it since he was posted to the Caribbean (see our French-language letter 296). In January 2014, he posted that the two papal texts that had had a significant impact on him up to that point were Paul VI’s Humanae Vitae and Benedict XVI’s Summorum Pontificum. It’s hardly surprising to find him a few months later at the summer session of Sacra Liturgia that Dom Alcuin Reid organizes in the south of France. Such a nomination of an orthodox prelate, which seems intended to give a counterpoint to the orientations of the Church in Switzerland, is, when all is said and done, very much in Pope Francis’s disconcerting style.

Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus and the Substance of Catholic Doctrine: Towards a Realization of Benedict XVI’S “Hermeneutic of Reform”
Nova et Vetera, English Edition, Vol. 14, No. 1 (2016): 295–330 295 Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus and the Substance of Catholic Doctrine: Towards a Realization of Benedict XVI’s “Hermeneutic of Reform” Matthew Ramage Benedictine College Atchison, KS Introduction: Two Rival Hermeneutics “Hence, too, that meaning of the sacred dogmas is ever to be main- tained which has once been declared by Holy mother Church, and there must never be any abandonment of this sense under the pretext or in the name of a more profound understanding.”1 Catholics who come across this statement issued by the First Vatican Council could easily be dismayed at its apparent discrepancy with the Second Vatican 1 First Vatican Council, Dei Filius (1870), ch. 4 (Heinrich Joseph Dominicus, Enchiridion symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum [hereafter, Denzinger], no.1800, available at http://patristica.net/denzinger). See ch. 4, can. 3: “If anyone says that it is possible that, at some time, given the advancement of knowledge, a sense may be assigned to the dogmas propounded by the Church which is different from that which the Church has understood and understands: let him be anathema” (Denziner, no. 1818). See the discussion of this formula in Charles Journet, What Is Dogma? (San Fran- cisco: Ignatius Press, 2011), 20 and 98. For the rejection of any form of “evolu- tionism” in the Church, see also Pius X’s Syllabus Lamentabili Sane (1907), his Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907), §§26–28 (all papal documents can be found at the Vatican website: http://w2.vatican.va), and his “Oath Against Modernism” Sacrorum Antistitum (1910): “I reject entirely the heretical misrepresentation that dogmas evolve and change from one meaning to another different from the one which the Church held previously” (http://www.papalencyclicals.

Paper 362. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/362 RECEPTIVE ECUMENISM AND JUSTIFICATION: ROMAN CATHOLIC AND REFORMED DOCTRINE IN CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT by Sarah M. Timmer A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2014 ii ABSTRACT RECEPTIVE ECUMENISM AND JUSTIFICATION: ROMAN CATHOLIC AND REFORMED DOCTRINE IN CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT Sarah M. Timmer Marquette University, 2014 Receptive Ecumenism is a reassessment of the ecumenical process, in light of the remaining challenges and difficulties faced by ecumenists. It recognizes that ecumenism might need to adjust to the complex diversity of the Christian church today, especially amidst a culture that no longer sees diversity as a negative thing. The goal of traditional ecumenism, visible unity through theological and ecclesiological convergence, is put aside in favor of an ecumenism of mutual enrichment and self-examination. The Catholic-Lutheran Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification is an example of traditional ecumenism. This dissertation examines some strengths and weaknesses of the Joint Declaration, and argues for a more Receptive approach to justification in future ecumenical work. The doctrine of justification is a particularly fruitful subject for Receptive Ecumenism because the differences in its articulation reflect deeper foundational differences between Catholics and Protestants.

As a Catholic institution of higher education dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, our patroness, we know that her Son, Jesus Christ, is the divine Teacher who opens our minds and hearts to the fullness of Truth. “He who abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).” He is the source and goal of everything we do, as we educate laity, priests and religious who will go forth boldly to foster a true culture of life and civilization of love. Ave Maria is committed to building a university that will earn a reputation for excel- lent teaching, cutting-edge research, and joyful fidelity to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. To develop the first of these “pillars,” we have attracted an extraordinarily gifted and dynamic faculty. By means of our integrated liberal arts core curriculum, these teachers introduce our students to the great tradition of theology, philosophy, history, lit- erature, classical languages and natural sciences, imparting what Pope John Paul II calls “a unified and organic vision of knowledge” (Papal Encyclical, Fides et Ratio). Students learn not just to memorize material, but to understand it deeply, appropriate it, and apply it to their lives.

Transubstantiation: Sign and Reality in Ecumenical Dialogue
Transubstantiation: Sign and Reality in Ecumenical Dialogue by Brett David Salkeld A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Regis College and the Theology Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Brett David Salkeld 2013 Transubstantiation: Sign and Reality in Ecumenical Dialogue Brett David Salkeld Doctor of Philosophy in Theology Regis College 2013 Abstract The first generation of dialogue following the Catholic Church’s entry into the ecumenical movement tended to downplay transubstantiation, preferring to speak of Christ’s real presence in less loaded terms. This decision, however understandable in its context, has been partly responsible for the impasse reached on this question after such promising and unexpected achievements in the early years. An investigation of the responses to ecumenical milestones like the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) and Baptism, Eucharist, Ministry (BEM), demonstrates that transubstantiation required a more forthright treatment. The doctrine is such an important identity marker and has such a hold on the popular imagination – of both those who affirm and those who reject it – that it needs to be addressed in a straightforward and unambiguous manner if the Christian people are to recognize their faith in the agreed statements of ecumenical commissions. In response to both ARCIC and BEM, Protestants were concerned that transubstantiation had been allowed in through the back door, while Catholics were equally concerned that it had been quietly scuttled. With this in mind, I investigate the history and development of transubstantiation and its classic exposition in the work of Thomas Aquinas, highlighting that it emerged as a solution to a ii Eucharistic controversy not unlike the one that currently divides Catholics and Protestants.
