  • Organizational Structures of the Catholic Church GOVERNING LAWS
    Organizational Structures of the Catholic Church GOVERNING LAWS . Canon Law . Episcopal Directives . Diocesan Statutes and Norms •Diocesan statutes actually carry more legal weight than policy directives from . the Episcopal Conference . Parochial Norms and Rules CANON LAW . Applies to the worldwide Catholic church . Promulgated by the Holy See . Most recent major revision: 1983 . Large body of supporting information EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE NORMS . Norms are promulgated by Episcopal Conference and apply only in the Episcopal Conference area (the U.S.) . The Holy See reviews the norms to assure that they are not in conflict with Catholic doctrine and universal legislation . These norms may be a clarification or refinement of Canon law, but may not supercede Canon law . Diocesan Bishops have to follow norms only if they are considered “binding decrees” • Norms become binding when two-thirds of the Episcopal Conference vote for them and the norms are reviewed positively by the Holy See . Each Diocesan Bishop implements the norms in his own diocese; however, there is DIOCESAN STATUTES AND NORMS . Apply within the Diocese only . Promulgated and modified by the Bishop . Typically a further specification of Canon Law . May be different from one diocese to another PAROCHIAL NORMS AND RULES . Apply in the Parish . Issued by the Pastor . Pastoral Parish Council may be consulted, but approval is not required Note: On the parish level there is no ecclesiastical legislative authority (a Pastor cannot make church law) EXAMPLE: CANON LAW 522 . Canon Law 522 states that to promote stability, Pastors are to be appointed for an indefinite period of time unless the Episcopal Council decrees that the Bishop may appoint a pastor for a specified time .

  • Engagement Guidelines: Orthodox Christian Leaders
    Tip Sheets: Engaging Faith Communities V1.2 Engagement Guidelines: Orthodox Christian Leaders Religion Called: Orthodox Christianity Adherents Consider Themselves: Christian and are called Orthodox Christians House of Worship: Church or Cathedral First Point of Contact: Senior parish priest a.k.a. pastor Religious Leader: Priest or Deacon Spoken Direct Address: Use “Father” Physical Interaction: Handshake O.K. across sexes HOUSE OF WORSHIP Churches are local houses of worship. A parish refers to the congregation of a particular church. Parishes often have non-sacred spaces such as multipurpose rooms, schools, gyms, or offices. Cathedrals are large centers of worship for an entire regional area run by a Diocese or Archdiocese. Monasteries and convents house monks and nuns (respectively), and may include a chapel and areas for instruction/work. RELIGIOUS LEADERS Ordained/Commissioned/Licensed Leaders Orthodox Christian leadership is hierarchical with each national/ethnic branch having its own structure and leadership. Regional leadership generally falls to bishops (or archbishops, catholicos, or metropolitans). Priests and deacons provide sacramental and spiritual leadership; priests often are in charge of a local parish. Both priests and deacons are permitted to marry. Holy Orders and Lay Leaders Monks and nuns are non-ordained (lay) leaders (except for hiermonks who are ordained priests or deacons) who have usually taken a vow of poverty, celibacy, and obedience and often live an active vocation of both prayer and service. Many monks, nuns, and laypersons have important leadership positions —avoid assumptions based on title. Some U.S. parishes have lay administrators who take on many of the roles once the exclusive domain of clergy.

  • Archbishop O'brien Named Head of Order of the Holy Sepulcher in Rome
    Archbishop O’Brien named head of Order of the Holy Sepulcher in Rome Pope Benedict XVI appointed Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien of Baltimore as Pro- Grand Master of the Equestrian Order (Knights) of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, based in Rome. The appointment was announced simultaneously in Rome and in Washington, Aug. 29. “News of this appointment came as a shock to me and I am still adjusting to the reality that effective today I am no longer the Archbishop of Baltimore,” the archbishop said at an Aug. 29 news conference at the Catholic Center in Baltimore to discuss the appointment. “Until learning very recently of my appointment as grand master of the Holy Sepulcher, I was prepared and eager to serve out the remainder of my episcopacy as Archbishop of Baltimore, a title I have been honored to hold and a role in which I have been blessed to serve.” The order is a chivalric organization dedicated to promoting and defending Christianity in the Holy Land, supporting the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and responding to the needs of Catholics in the region. Its origins date back to the First Crusade. He succeeds in the post American Cardinal John P. Foley, who resigned and retired in February as head of the international order for health reasons. Cardinal Foley returned to Philadelphia to live permanently earlier this year after having served in Vatican posts since 1984. Though he ceases to be archbishop of Baltimore effective with the appointment, the pope named him as apostolic administrator of the archdiocese until his successor is named.

  • Statement on Retired Members Of
    ARCHDIOCESE FOR THE MILITARY SERVICES, USA The Most Reverend Timothy P. Broglio On Retired Members of the US Military The Archdiocese for the Military Services, as a particular Church, exists to support the spiritual and sacramental needs of the members of the armed forces and their families, the patients in the VA facilities, and US citizens working for the Federal Government overseas. All the faithful are welcomed. However, in order to serve well and in accordance with Church Law, it is useful to clarify the position of retired military members. While on active duty, Catholics have the option of joining either the Catholic Faith Community of the base chapel or that of the local civilian parish, regardless of their residence (on or off base). However, the choice is specific and should be clearly established upon arrival at each new duty station. They do remain, however, subjects of the military ordinariate. (The military archdiocese is legally competent under Canon Law to provide the following actions for its subjects: granting of permission for a mixed marriage, granting a dispensation from disparity of cult, granting a dispensation from canonical form, processing a declaration of nullity – either as a formal case or as a documentary case [lack of form]. With regards to these same persons, the military archbishop can grant his priest-chaplains the faculty to witness marriages validly and to confer Confirmation for an extraordinary reason 0 but only for the proper subjects of the military archdiocese.) After completion of twenty years of faithful service in the US military, retiring members and their dependents may continue to enjoy many of the benefits and services available to active duty members.

  • Abbess Ambrosia Tonsured to the Great Schema
    ARCHDIOCESE OF ETNA, CALIFORNIA Abbess Ambrosia Tonsured to the Great Schema On Saturday, May 11, 2008 (Old Style), the Feast of Sts. Cyril and Methodios, the Very Reverend Mother Ambrosia (left, below), Abbess of the Protection of the Mother of God Convent, in Bluffton, Alber- ta, Canada, was tonsured to the Great Schema by His Grace, Bishop Auxentios of Photike at the Convent of St. Elizabeth the Grand Duch- ess in Etna, California. Mother Elizabeth (below, right), Abbess of the Etna convent served as her sponsor. The tonsure was blessed by Bishop Cyprian of Oreoi, Acting President of the Holy Synod, and Archbishop Chrysostomos of Etna. Mother Ambrosia, a spiritual daughter of both Bishop Sava of Ed- monton and Bishop Nektary of Seattle, entered the monastic life at the Convent of Our Lady of Kazan, in Kentlyn, New South Wales, Austral- ia, having been tonsured—along with her mother according to the flesh, Mother Theodora—a Rasophore Nun by the ruling Bishop in Australia, Archbishop Paul of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad (ROCA). She was later assigned to the Convent in Bluffton (accompanied by Moth- er Theodora), where she was made Superior and tonsured to the Small Schema in 1993, by the late Metropolitan Vitaly. In 2002, she was ele- vated to the office of Abbess by Archbishop Kyrill of San Francisco. After the union of the ROCA with the Moscow Patriarchate, Mother Ambrosia and her six nuns, being unable in good conscience to accept what they saw as an abandonment of the historical principles of the Rus- sian Church Abroad, petitioned to be received into the American Exar- chate of our Church.
