The Sacraments of Initiation in the Work of Pius Parsch with an Outlook Towards the Second Vatican Council’S Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy THE SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION IN THE WORK OF PIUS PARSCH WITH AN OUTLOOK TOWARDS THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL’S CONSTITUTION ON THE SACRED LITURGY A Dissertation Submitted to the Catholic Theological Faculty of Paris Lodron University, Salzburg in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Theology by Saji George Under the Guidance of Uni.-Prof. Dr. Rudolf Pacik Department of Practical Theology Salzburg, November 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe a debt of gratitude to those who have helped me in the course of writing this dissertation. First of all, with the Blessed Virgin Mary, I thank the Triune God for all His graces and blessings: “My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, […] for the Mighty One has done great things for me and holy is his name” (Lk. 1: 46-50). I express my heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Dr. Rudolf Pacik, guide and supervisor of this research, for his worthwhile directions, valuable suggestions, necessary corrections, tremendous patience, availability and encouragement. If at all this effort of mine come to an accomplishment, it is due to his help and guidance. I also thank Prof. Dr. Hans-Joachim Sander for his advice and suggestions. My thanks are indebted to Mag. Gertraude Vymetal for the tedious job of proof-reading, patience, suggestions and corrections. I remember with gratitude Fr. Abraham Mullenkuzhy MSFS, the former Provincial of the Missionaries of St. Francis De Sales, North East India Province, who sent me to Salzburg for pursuing my studies. I appreciate his trust and confidence in me. My thanks are due to Fr. Francis Thadathil MSFS, the present provincial, for his constant support and concern. I express my deep sentiments of gratitude to the diocese of Linz for the financial support during my study and stay in Salzburg. I thank the parish priest, Mag. Marek Michalowski, with whom I was associated in the pastoral ministry, for his brotherly love and concern. I owe thanks to the parish communities of Friedburg, Heiligenstatt, Lengau and Schneegattern for their support and understanding. During the years of my study I was accommodated in the Priesterseminar, Salzburg, so I would like to express my gratitude to the diocese of Salzburg, Regens Dr. Gottfried Leireiter and the Priesterseminar community, especially my priest- colleagues, for their friendship, support and love. I am likewise indebted to the community of Kolleg St. Benedikt and rector P. Paulus Koci OSB for the accommodation in the initial year of my study. There are other people too whose inspiration and example have been invaluable to me. I cherish with gratitude my parents, brothers and sisters, confreres, benefactors, relatives and friends for their ii prayers, support, encouragement and love. I humbly dedicate this dissertation to my beloved mother, Elizabeth Varkey (1932-2010), who was a constant inspiration and good example in my life.

  • 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.

  • Good and Bad Prayers, Before Albertus Pictor: Prolegomena to the History of a Late Medieval Image
    Achim Timmermann GOOD AND BAD PRAYERS, BEFORE ALBERTUS PICTOR: PROLEGOMENA TO THE HISTORY OF A LATE MEDIEVAL IMAGE “Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal. For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also… No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:19–21, 241 The visual allegory of the Good and the Bad Prayer is one of the rarest – and one of the most intriguing – pictorial creations of the later Middle Ages. In most of the forty or so known examples, a pious, poor man and a distracted, rich man, both in attitudes of prayer, face one another on either side of the suffering Christ, shown either crucified or as the Man of Sorrows. A key feature of the image are the bundles of thought- or prayer-lines that indicate and link both men to the respective objects of their innermost ruminations – the wounds of Christ in the case of the pi- ous individual, and an inventory of worldly possessions, often displayed DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12697/BJAH.2013.5.07 1 Douay-Rheims translation of the Vulgate passage: Nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra: ubi aerugo, et tinea demolitur: et ubi fures effodiunt, et furantur.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Comparative Study of the Hermeneutics of Henri de Lubac and Hans-Georg Gadamer Concerning Tradition, Community and Faith in the Interpretation of Scripture A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Eric Joseph Jenislawski Washington, DC 2016 A Comparative Study of the Hermeneutics of Henri de Lubac and Hans-Georg Gadamer Concerning Tradition, Community and Faith in the Interpretation of Scripture Eric Joseph Jenislawski Director: John T. Ford, CSC, S.T.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates and compares the hermeneutics of the French Jesuit theologian, Henri de Lubac (1896-1991), and the German philosopher, Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2001). The writings of both Gadamer and de Lubac continue to generate scholarly investigation, including proposals to apply their insights to contemporary biblical interpretation. Although de Lubac and Gadamer were contemporaries, they never directly engaged each other’s writings; this dissertation brings their thought into dialogue. Chapter One provides a biographical overview of the lives of both scholars by situating the texts that will be examined within the broader context of each work. Since de Lubac approached the subject of biblical interpretation chiefly as an historian of exegesis, the first step in this comparative investigation is a formulation of de Lubac’s hermeneutical principles. Chapter Two, which constitutes the major portion of this dissertation, analyzes de Lubac’s works Catholicisme, Histoire et Esprit, Exégèse médiévale, and La Postérité spirituelle de Joachim de Flore in view of understanding his hermeneutics.

    School of Theology - Seton Hall University file:///Volumes/Site%20Backups/theology%2020090910/lectures... TRENT AND ALL THAT FIFTY YEARS TRYING TO NAME IT John O'Malley - Weston Jesuit School of Theology Archbishop Gerety Lecture at Seton Hall University, March 25, 1998 I am delighted to have been invited to deliver the Archbishop Gerety Lecture in Ecclesiastical History at the School of Theology of Seton Hall University, and I want to thank you for having me come. I have put the Council of Trent in my title for this occasion for several reasons. The most fundamental is the intrinsic importance of the Council of Trent for the history of the Catholic church. The words Trent and Tridentine figure in all serious Catholic theological discourse, but they are also invoked outside academe, sometimes as battle cries, even by people who have never read a line of the council's decrees. The Council of Trent, as you know well, was an official gathering principally of Roman Catholic bishops, who met in the little town of Trent in northern Italy. Their meeting stretched out intermittently over eighteen years, 1545-63, and issued a volume of decrees dealing with a large number of issues related to Roman Catholic Church, to a great extent in response to Luther and other Protestant Reformers. Historians disagree about a lot of things and interpret events differently, but no historian has ever denied that Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, and King Henry VIII set off an explosion that rocked the history of Europe. Among other things, we are told, they were reacting to the degenerate state of the Catholic church, which was rotten with abuses.

The Monument Question in Late Habsburg Austria A Critical Introduction to Max Dvořák’s Denkmalpflege Jonathan Blower Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2012 Abstract The present thesis is a critical introduction to a body of writings on heritage conservation by the Czech-born art historian Max Dvořák (1874–1921). From 1905 onwards, Dvořák was both professor of art history at the University of Vienna and Conservator General at the state institution responsible for heritage conservation in Austria: the ‘Royal and Imperial Central Commission for the Research and Preservation of Artistic and Historical Monuments’ (est. 1850). His published and archival texts on the subject are presented here for the first time in English translation. In this sense, the thesis follows the model of existing scholarship on the visual arts in Vienna around 1900, namely the combined English translations and critical introductions to the writings of Camillo Sitte (Collins & Collins, 1986), Otto Wagner (Mallgrave, 1988) and Alois Riegl (Forster & Ghirardo, 1982).
