  • The Holy See
    The Holy See BENEDICT XVI ANGELUS St Peter's Square Sunday, 9 November 2008 Dear Brothers and Sisters, The liturgy today has us celebrate the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, called the "mother and head of all the Churches of the Urbe and Orbe". Actually, this Basilica was the first to be built after the Edict of the Emperor Constantine who, in 313, conceded to Christians the freedom to practice their religion. The same Emperor gave Pope Miltiades the ancient estate of the Laterani family and had the Basilica, the Baptistery and the Patriarchate built for him, the latter being the Bishop of Rome's residence, where Popes resided until the Avignon era. The dedication of the Basilica was celebrated by Pope Silvester in about 324 and the temple was dedicated to the Most Holy Saviour; only after the 6th century were the names of Sts John the Baptist and John the Evangelist added, from which came its common name. This occasion initially only involved the city of Rome; then, from 1565 onwards, it extended to the entire Church of the Roman rite. Hence, honouring the holy building is meant as an expression of love and veneration for the Roman Church "which", as St Ignatius of Antioch affirms, "presides in charity" over the entire Catholic communion (cf. Epistula ad Romanos, 1, 1). The Word of God during this Solemnity recalls an essential truth: the stone temple is the symbol of the living Church, the Christian community, that the Apostles Peter and Paul had, in their Letters, already understood as a "spiritual building", constructed by God with the "living stones" that are the Christians, upon the one foundation that is Jesus Christ, who is in turn compared to the "cornerstone" cf.

  • Popes in History
    popes in history medals by Ľudmila Cvengrošová text by Mons . Viliam Judák Dear friends, Despite of having long-term experience in publishing in other areas, through the AXIS MEDIA company I have for the first time entered the environment of medal production. There have been several reasons for this decision. The topic going beyond the borders of not only Slovakia but the ones of Europe as well. The genuine work of the academic sculptress Ľudmila Cvengrošová, an admirable and nice artist. The fine text by the Bishop Viliam Judák. The “Popes in history” edition in this range is a unique work in the world. It proves our potential to offer a work eliminating borders through its mission. Literally and metaphorically, too. The fabulous processing of noble metals and miniatures produced with the smallest details possible will for sure attract the interest of antiquarians but also of those interested in this topic. Although this is a limited edition I am convinced that it will be provided to everybody who wants to commemorate significant part of the historical continuity and Christian civilization. I am pleased to have become part of this unique project, and I believe that whether the medals or this lovely book will present a good message on us in the world and on the world in us. Ján KOVÁČIK AXIS MEDIA 11 Celebrities grown in the artist’s hands There is one thing we always know for sure – that by having set a target for himself/herself an artist actually opens a wonderful world of invention and creativity. In the recent years the academic sculptress and medal maker Ľudmila Cvengrošová has devoted herself to marvellous group projects including a precious cycle of male and female monarchs of the House of Habsburg crowned at the St.

  • 1 Church History I: the Early Papacy (C. 64 – 452 AD) “And I Tell Y
    Church History I: The Early Papacy (c. 64 – 452 AD) “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matt. 16:18-19 NRSV) Milestones on the Development of the Papacy c. 64 – Peter and Paul were mostly likely martyred at Rome in this year during a short burst of persecution against Christians under the Emperor Nero following a devastating fire in the capital. According to tradition, Peter had also been bishop of Antioch before coming to Rome and after leaving Jerusalem. c. 96 – Clement of Rome intervened in a dispute in a surviving letter to the church at Corinth, which we know as I Clement. Some Corinthian presbyters had been deposed and Clement reminded the congregation that the apostles “appointed bishops and deacons in every place” and it was these appointees who gave directions as to how the ministry was to continue. c. 190 – Pope Victor I ordered synods to be held throughout Christendom to bring the date for the observance of Easter into line with Roman custom. He was not successful. The title pope, derived from the Latin and Greek words for father, was used for the occupants of several of the major episcopal sees throughout the empire in this period, such as Alexandria and Antioch as well as Rome.

    The Christian and not-so Christian Calendar from Christmas to Pentecost A Bible Study By Bishop Jerry Hutchins Kingdom Now Church Snellville, Ga. Understanding Celebrations from Christmas to Pentecost • Epiphany • Carnival • Fat Tuesday • Ash Wednesday • Lent • Palm Sunday • Passover • Maundy Thursday • Good Friday • Resurrection Sunday • Ascension Day • Pentecost Epiphany • Epiphany, January 6, is the official end of the Christmas season, but it also kicks off Carnival season. • Epiphany day is 12 days after Christmas. • Some people fast during the 12 days and then celebrate the Epiphany feast on January 6th. January 6 until Fat Tuesday Carnival • Carnival is a festival held in many, predominately Roman Catholic, countries in the days leading up to Lent. • In contrast to the Lenten season’s forty-day focus on fasting and self-denial, Carnival is a time of excess and self- indulgence—a time to “eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we diet.” • Carnival is the indulgence before the fast, one last binge before having to give something up for forty days. • The most famous Carnival is held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, every year. Other Carnivals are held in Italy, Venice, Uruguay, and Spain, as well as in other parts of Brazil. In the United States, the events leading to Mardi Gras are the equivalent of Carnival. Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras • Mardi Gras, which is French for “Fat Tuesday,” is the last day of a season called “Carnival.” The Carnival season is characterized by merrymaking, feasting, and dancing. • Mardi Gras is the culmination of festivities and features parades, masquerades, and, unfortunately, often drunkenness and shameless debauchery.

Degree Of the School of Theology and Ministry By: Pierluigi De Lucia, S.J. Directed by: Francine Cardman Second Reader: Francis A. Sullivan, S.J. May 2010 © Copyright by Pierluigi DE LUCIA, S.J. 2010 Abstract The Petrine ministry of the bishops of Rome and relations with the eastern bishops at the time of the first four ecumenical councils are the focus of this thesis. It places the Church in the complex historical context marked by the public recognition of Christianity under Constantine (312) and the great novelty of the close interactions of the emperors with the bishops of the major sees in the period, Rome, Alexandria, Antioch and Constantinople. The study examines the structures of the church (local and regional synods and ecumenical councils) and the roles of bishops and emperors in the ecumenical councils of Nicaea (325), Constantinople I (381), Ephesus (431), and Chalcedon (451), including the “robber” council of 449.

  • Heresy the Word Heresy Developed Within Christianity, Where It Signifies
    Heresy The word heresy developed within Christianity, where it signifies the deviation by Christians from what is judged to be true belief. Who does the judging has depended on the viewpoint, but for Roman Catholics it has been a role of pope and bishops. Historians will need to construct their own definition for analytical purposes, for two reasons. Firstly, the meaning of the word 'heresy' has not been stable within Christianity. In the late Antique/early medieval period it could still be used for a deviation from a doctine only later defined (and in this sense a dead pope could be designated as heretical for). Later the word would only be applied to defiance of a doctrine already defined. A second reason for constructing a clinical analytical concept or 'ideal-type' is that it enables comparisons between Christianity and other religions, which obviously do not use the same word but who may have similar attitudes. The comparison is useful precisely because it shows how much more highly developed or 'rationalised' the attitude was in Christianity and especially in Catholicism. Heresy can thus be defined for analytical purposes and in a value-neurtral way as 'beliefs arising from a religion system regarded by some of its adherents so false as to exclude those who hold them from belonging to it properly'. Within Catholicism the authority to identify such beliefs is seen as belonging to pope and bishops. In practice, such beliefs have been proscribed and seriously persecuted only when they have attracted a popular following outside intellectual ivory towers. A key development within Catholicism was the idea of development itself: with the consequence that a view can be licit up to the date of an authoritative document, and heretical after it.

  • Italy Officially the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica Italiana), Is a Unitary Parliamentary Republic in South-Central Europe
    Italy Italy officially the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica italiana), is a unitary parliamentary republic in south-central Europe. To the north it borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia along the Alps. To the south it consists of the entirety of the Peninsula, Sicily, Sardinia—the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea—and many other smaller islands. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican are enclaves within Italy, whilst Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland. The territory of Italy covers some 301,338 km2 (116,347 sq mi) and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. With 60.6 million inhabitants, it is the fifth most populous country in Europe, and the 23rd most populous in the world. Rome, the capital of Italy, was for centuries the political centre of Western civilisation as the capital of the Roman Empire. After its decline, Italy endured numerous invasions by foreign peoples, from Germanic tribes such as the Lombards and Ostrogoths, to the Byzantines and later, the Normans, among others. Centuries later, Italy became the birthplace of the Renaissance,[7] an immensely fruitful intellectual movement that would prove to be integral in shaping the subsequent course of European thought. Through much of its post-Roman history, Italy was fragmented into numerous kingdoms and city-states (such as the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Duchy of Milan), but was unified in 1861,[8] following a tumultuous period in history known as "Il Risorgimento" ("The Resurgence"). In the late 19th century, through World War I, and to World War II, Italy possessed a colonial empire, which extended its rule to Libya,Eritrea, Somalia, Ethiopia, Albania, the Dodecanese and a concession in Tianjin, China.[9] Modern Italy is a democratic republic.
