The Holy Father’s homily was given in Spanish in a spontaneous ex tempore manner. In the homily, he made one reference to the title of co-redemptrix: “Faithful to her Master, who is her Son, the unique Redeemer, she never wanted to take anything away from her Son. She never introduced herself as ‘co-redemptrix.’ No. “disciple” (Fiel a su Maestro, que es su Hijo, el único Redentor, jamás quiso para sí tomar algo de su Hijo. Jamás se presentó como co-redentora. No, discípula.). Pope Francis is completely accurate in stating that Mary never “introduced herself” as “co-redemptrix,” neither in the context of the Annunciation nor in the historical events at Guadalupe, the subject of his homily. This, though, does not in itself deny the doctrinal legitimacy of the co-redemptrix title when it is used with its proper meaning in referring to the unique participation of Mary in the historical Redemption accomplished by Jesus Christ, the only divine Redeemer. The Holy Father is likewise entirely accurate when he states that “she never wanted to take away anything from her Son.” Fortunately, when Pope St. John Paul II and Pope Pius XI before him repeatedly used the title, “co-redemptrix” for Our Lady, they did not seek to take anything from Jesus and give it to Mary, but rather to identify Mary’s unique cooperation in the redemptive work accomplished by Christ. 1 This essay was originally published on Jan. 8, 2020, in La Stampa: Vatican Insider and is ​ reprinted here with the permission of the publisher. Ecce Mater Tua 3 The co-redemptrix title seeks to represent, in one term, the Church’s official doctrine of Mary’s unrivaled participation in the redemption accomplished by Jesus Christ, the sole Divine Redeemer. The official and undeniable Marian doctrine of the Church is repeatedly taught at the Second Vatican Council (Lumen gentium, 56, 57, 58, 61) and by the papal magisterium of the last three centuries. The Doctrine of Marian Coredemption The doctrine of Marian coredemption teaches that the Blessed Virgin, by the will of God, cooperated in a unique and singular manner in the work of redemption with and under her divine Son. According to St. Thomas Aquinas, God, in his omnipotence, could have redeemed the human race in many ways, but He chose to become man by being conceived and born of a woman.

  • Bispeordinasjon Av B. Erik Varden 3. Oktober 2020
    ORDINASJON AV MGR. ERIK VARDEN TIL BISKOP-PRELAT AV TRONDHEIM Nidarosdomen Lørdag 3. oktober 2020 kl 11.00 TRONDHEIM STIFT DEN KATOLSKE KIRKE I MIDT-NORGE Katolsk bispeordinasjon Den katolske bispeordinasjon må forstås i lys av katolsk kirkesyn og selvforståelse. Kristus opprettet sin Kirke da han var på jorden. Denne kalles den katolske (bokstavelig talt, «universelle») Kirke og er i utgangspunktet en usynlig størrelse. Men den blir synlig gjennom verdens mange lokal- kirker, kalt «bispedømmer». Den katolske kirke består ifølge 2. Vatikan- konsil i og av sine lokalkirker. I dag har verden mellom fire og fem tusen slike. Trondheim stift er en egenartet lokalkirke, kalt «territorialprelatur». I realiteten er det kun historiske og terminologiske forhold, men ingen teologiske, som skiller et territorialprelatur fra et vanlig bispedømme. Hver lokalkirke har en overhyrde, og han er normalt biskop. I et territorialprelatur betegnes han offisielt som «biskop-prelat». Hans opp- gave er å være lokalkirkens øverste hyrde, lærer og prest, og han ivaretar den prinsipielle kontakt med de andre lokalkirker og deres overhyrder, og da spesielt med bispedømmet Roma og dets biskop, paven. Alle biskoper som befinner seg i forpliktende fellesskap med biskopen av Roma danner et kollegium («bispekollegiet») med biskopen av Roma som overhode. Opptagelsen i dette kollegium skjer ved bispe- ordinasjonen. Tilhørigheten til dette kollegium danner basis for bispe- tjenesten i eget bispedømme og innebærer for biskopene et kollektivt overoppsyn og pastoralt ansvar for verdenskirken. Biskopens oppdrag hviler på to søyler, en «jurisdiksjonell» og en «sakramental». Den jurisdiksjonelle søyle består i at biskopen lever og utfører sin tjeneste i «hierarkisk fellesskap» med de øvrige biskoper, med biskopen av Roma – apostelen Peters etterfølger – i spissen.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See SOLEMNITY OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY POPE FRANCIS ANGELUS Saint Peter's Square Saturday, 15 August 2015 [Multimedia] Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning and Happy Feast of Our Lady, Today the Church is celebrating one of the most important feasts dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary: the Feast of her Assumption. At the end of her earthly life, the Mother of Christ was assumed body and soul to Heaven, that is to say, into the glory of eternal life, in full communion with God. Today’s page of the Gospel (Lk 1:39-56) presents to us Mary who, just after conceiving Jesus through the work of the Holy Spirit, goes to visit her elderly relative Elizabeth, who is also miraculously expecting a child. In this meeting filled with the Holy Spirit, Mary expresses her joy with the Canticle of the Magnificat, because she has become fully aware of the meaning of the great things that are being accomplished in her life: through her, all that her people were expecting is brought to fulfillment. But the Gospel also shows us the truest cause of Mary’s greatness and her blessedness: the cause is faith. Indeed, Elizabeth greets her with these words: “blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord” (Lk 1:45). Faith is the heart of Mary’s whole story: she is the believer, the great believer; she knows — and she says so — that historically the violence of the powerful, the pride of the rich, the arrogance of the proud are burdensome.

It explores the complex manner in which these central Italian cities both emulated and rejected the political and cultural hegemony of Rome through the ideological and performative reinvention of its cult icons. In the twelfth century the powerful urban center of Tivoli adopted Rome’s grandest annual public event, the nocturnal Assumption procession of August 14-15, and transformed it into a potent civic expression that incorporated all sectors of the social fabric. Tivoli’s cult of the Trittico del Salvatore and the Inchinata procession in which the icon of the enthroned Christ was carried at the feast of the Assumption and made to perform in symbolic liturgical ceremonies were both modeled on Roman, papal exemplars.

November is traditionally a time to pray especially for all the faithful who have died. The month begins with the great Feast of All Saints, followed immediately by “All Souls”, when the Mass and all the Liturgy of the day is offered as a prayer to God for all who have gone before us “marked with the sign of faith”. The transition from the Liturgy of All Saints to the Liturgy of All Souls is dramatic: festive celebration and white vestments on All Saints, black vestments and the sombre, even mournful character of the Liturgy of All Souls. This is not, I think, meant primarily to express a change of mood, though of course our sentiments will be affected. If the liturgy were seeking to express our feelings, I think we would want to celebrate the two days in reverse: we would first contemplate the darkness of death, then raise our spirits by celebrating our glorious new life in Christ.
