  • Karl Rahner's Work on the Assumption of Mary Into Heaven
    Karl Rahner’s Work on the Assumption of Mary into Heaven By Mark F. Fischer, St. John’s Seminary, Camarillo [Mark F. Fischer is Professor of Theology at St. John’s Seminary, the seminary of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. He wrote his doctoral dissertation on Hans-Georg Gadamer and the Catholic Theology of Tradition (Berkeley: Graduate Theological Union, 1985). In 2005 he published The Foundations of Karl Rahner, a paraphrase of Rahner’s Foundations of Catholic Faith.] Abstract Karl Rahner completed his Assumptio Beatae Mariae Virginis in 1951 but did not receive permission to publish it from his Jesuit superiors. The work was only published in 2004, twenty years after Rahner’s death. This essay examines his treatise on the Assumption of Mary and the objections of the censors. The relation between the treatise and Rahner’s publication of 1947, “On the Theology of Death,” receives special attention. The shorter work was appended to the Marian treatise as an “excursus” but laid the foundation for the later work. Rahner reinterpreted the dogma of the Assumption in light of the resurrection of the dead, which the assumption of Mary’s body and soul into heaven anticipates. Among Rahner’s many speculative comments, this essay focuses on three. First, at the final resurrection, the soul (separated at death from the body) re-creates a new and glorified body as its fulfillment and perfection. Second, the glorified body expresses a metaphysical holiness that matures between the moment of death and the final judgment. And third, the resurrection of the body completes the transformation of the world as a new heaven and a new earth that began with the Incarnation.

  • Events of the Reformation Part 1 – Church Becomes Powerful Institution
    May 20, 2018 Events of the Reformation Protestants and Roman Catholics agree on first 5 centuries. What changed? Why did some in the Church want reform by the 16th century? Outline Why the Reformation? 1. Church becomes powerful institution. 2. Additional teaching and practices were added. 3. People begin questioning the Church. 4. Martin Luther’s protest. Part 1 – Church Becomes Powerful Institution Evidence of Rome’s power grab • In 2nd century we see bishops over regions; people looked to them for guidance. • Around 195AD there was dispute over which day to celebrate Passover (14th Nissan vs. Sunday) • Polycarp said 14th Nissan, but now Victor (Bishop of Rome) liked Sunday. • A council was convened to decide, and they decided on Sunday. • But bishops of Asia continued the Passover on 14th Nissan. • Eusebius wrote what happened next: “Thereupon Victor, who presided over the church at Rome, immediately attempted to cut off from the common unity the parishes of all Asia, with the churches that agreed with them, as heterodox [heretics]; and he wrote letters and declared all the brethren there wholly excommunicate.” (Eus., Hist. eccl. 5.24.9) Everyone started looking to Rome to settle disputes • Rome was always ending up on the winning side in their handling of controversial topics. 1 • So through a combination of the fact that Rome was the most important city in the ancient world and its bishop was always right doctrinally then everyone started looking to Rome. • So Rome took that power and developed it into the Roman Catholic Church by the 600s. Church granted power to rule • Constantine gave the pope power to rule over Italy, Jerusalem, Constantinople and Alexandria.

  • Mary the Blessed Virgin
    January 1 – Mary the Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated with a special cult, called by St. Thomas Aquinas, hyperdulia, as the holiest of all creatures. The main events of her life are celebrated as liturgical feasts of the universal Church. Traditionally, she was declared the daughter of Sts. Joachim and Anne. Born in Jerusalem, Mary was presented in the Temple and took a vow of virginity. Living in Nazareth, Mary was visited by the archangel Gabriel, who announced to her that she would become the Mother of Jesus, by the Holy Spirit. She became betrothed to St. Joseph and went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who was bearing St. John the Baptist. Acknowledged by Elizabeth as the Mother of God, Mary intoned the Magnificat. When Emperor Augustus declared a census throughout the vast Roman Empire, Mary and St. Joseph went to Bethlehem where he was born, as he belonged to the House of David. There Mary gave birth to Jesus and was visited by the Three Kings. Mary and Joseph presented Jesus in the Temple, where St. Simeon rejoiced and Mary received word of sorrows to come later. Warned to flee, St. Joseph and Mary went to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod. They remained in Egypt until King Herod died and then returned to Nazareth. Nothing is known of Mary's life during the next years except for a visit to the Temple of Jerusalem, at which time Mary and Joseph sought the young Jesus, who was in the Temple with the learned elders. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was performed at a wedding in Cana, and Mary was instrumental in calling Christ's attention to the need.

  • The Assumption of Mary - Part II: Typology by Greg Witherow
    The Assumption of Mary - Part II: Typology By Greg Witherow In our previous article we saw that Enoch, Elijah and perhaps Moses were bodily assumed into heaven and as such, provide precedence in our case for M ary’s Assumption. We will now turn our attention to typology1, establishing a link between the Ark of the Covenant and Mary. Once the typological link is established, we will glean from it further evidence for Mary’s bodily Assumption into heaven. But first, a brief background. The Ark of the Covenant was the most holy object in the Old Testament. In the Temple the Ark resided behind the veil in the holy of holies, the inner sanctum, where only the high priest could enter once a year. The Ark contained three objects consisting of manna from heaven, Aaron’s rod that had budded and the tablets of the Ten Commandments. The Ark was a box-like object made of acacia wood covered in pure gold. Two cherubim on each end, facing each other were mounted on the top. The Ark had been designed under specific instructions given by God and was not to be touched by man. As such, it had rings on both sides enabling it to be carried by poles. In the gospel of Luke we read that Mary was given a message by the angel Gabriel, namely that she was to conceive a son by the Holy Ghost. Mary then makes her way to her relative Elizabeth in the Judean hill country. As she approaches Elizabeth she greets her, where upon John the Baptist leaps for joy in his mother’s womb and Elizabeth cries out - for why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Elizabeth then explains the reaction of her son.

Thompson: The Immaculate Conception and Protestantism THE IMMACUlATE CoNcEPrioN IN TilE CAmouc-PRoTESTANT ECUMENICAL DIALOGUE Thomas A. Thompson, S.M.* Among the issues in the Catholic-Protestant ecumenical di­ alogues related to the Virgin Mary, the dogma of the Immacu­ late Conception-along with the Assumption-draws most attention. Until recently, this attention centered not on the content of these doctrines, but rather on their manner of defi­ nition in 1854 and 1950 and their status as articles of faith "to be held by all the faithful." This study will first provide a brief "ecumenical" survey of the development of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, 1 the Protestant response to the 1854 papal definition, and the place the dogmas occupied in post­ conciliar ecumenical dialogues. A second part will deal with Vatican II and recent ecumenical documents which present the Immaculate Conception in a fuller theological and scrip­ tural context.

  • The Assumption of Mary
    Catechetical Series: What Catholics Believe & Why THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY Behold The Truth Discovering the What & Why of the Catholic Faith beholdthetruth.com Assumed Into Heaven, Body and Soul At the end of her earthly life, the Virgin Mary was taken bodily to Heaven. The Bible refers to such a thing happening on at least two other occasions in salvation history, to Enoch and Elijah. Cf. Gen. 5:24; 2 Kgs. 2:11; Heb. 11:5 Precursor to the Resurrection of the Dead Like the rising of the bodies of saints after the Crucifixion cf. Matt. 27:52, the Assumption is a precursor to the bodily resurrection of the faithful on Judgment Day, when they shall be “caught up … in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” 1 Thess. 4:17 Precursor to the Resurrection of the Dead The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, “The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son’s Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians … . [S]he already shares in the glory of her Son’s Resurrection, anticipating the resurrection of all members of his Body.” Pars. 966, 974 Ark of the New Covenant We find biblical support for the Assumption in passages concerning the Ark of the Covenant, a type of Mary. The Ark was made of incorruptible wood and overlaid with pure gold because it was designed to carry the tablets of the Ten Commandments, which had been touched by God. Cf. Ex. 25:10-11 If the Old Covenant Ark had to be pure and incorruptible to carry the word of God in stone, it is only fitting that Mary, who would carry the Word of God in Flesh, be likewise pure and incorrupt.

  • The Blessed Virgin Mary
    The Feast of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin - The tradition of the early Church is that after the Resurrection Mary followed her newly adopted son John (John 19:26) to Asia Minor, and there lived out her life, dying probably in Ephesus (some accounts say Jerusalem). The teaching that Mary was The Dormition of “assumed” bodily into heaven was unknown to the Apostolic Church (and hence is not included in the Doctrine of the Apostles, the Holy Scriptures), and was unknown to the early Church. The Sacramentary of Gelasius (d. 496 A. D.), an early liturgical document, like several other important early Church writers, never mentions the corporal assumption of Mary or a commemorative liturgical celebration of it. It is apparently in Apocryphal writings of the 4th and 5th centuries, some Gnostic, that the doctrine of the “assumption” of Mary is introduced. It seems it was Gregory of Tours (d. 594 A. D.) who first accepted some of the Apocryphal writings as genuine, and so the “Assumption of Mary.” By the 7th century the doctrine of the “Assumption of Mary” was more widely taught, the Eastern church adding that three days before her death an angel appeared to Mary to warn her, and that at her death Christ and the Archangel Michael were present, the latter ushering her soul into heaven. At the Council of Chalcedon in the 8th century Juvenal, the Bishop of Jerusalem, reportedly stated that the death of Mary had been witnessed by all the Apostles, but when her tomb was later opened it was empty.
