The following talk was given by George Critchlow on April 25, 2006 at Temple Beth Shalom in Spokane, Washington in honor of Yom Hashoah, the annual remembrance of the Holocaust. Critchlow, an associate pro- fessor at Gonzaga University School of Law and a founder and former director of the Gonzaga Institute for Action Against Hate, was selected by the congregation to represent the “righteous gentile.” Professor Critchlow would like to acknowledge the helpful ideas and background information presented at the Amnesty International USA Lawyers’ Conference at the University of Washington School of Law on February 17-18, 2006. In particular, he was inspired by John Shattuck’s presentation titled “The Legacy of Nuremberg: Confronting Genocide and Terrorism Through the Rule of Law.” I have enormous respect for Temple Beth Shalom, what it stands for, its congregation, and those individuals whom I have come to know and count as friends. I am deeply honored and privileged to be invited to speak to you on this Day of Remembrance–especially in light of the occasion to recognize the 60 years that have now passed since the establishment of a new rule of law and accountability regarding war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Military Tribunal in 1946. I have a poster hanging in my office that frequently catches my eye and reminds me to connect my heart with my head. It is a picture of a small child of uncertain ethnicity, running happily, arms out, into the smiling face and open arms of his mother.

Jednak z uwagi na pewne wątpliwości dotyczące poprawności gramatycznej łacińskiego tytułu – po dłuższych waha- niach – po raz trzeci zmieniono tytuł: od tomu 13 (2003) przyjęto nazwę: „An- nales Missiologici Posnanienses”.

  • Personal Parish As an Element of The
    Annales Missiologici Posnanienses t. 21 (2016), s. 151-167 DOI: 10.14746/amp.2016.21.8 WOJCIECH KOWAL Saint Paul University, Ottawa Personal Parish As An Element Of The Organizational Structure Of The Pastoral Care Of Polish Immigrants By The Missionary Oblates Of Mary Immaculate In The Archdiocese Of Toronto The topic chosen for this article could easily merit something of the scope of a monograph rather than a short paper. Therefore, this presentation cannot, and by no means will, attempt to respond to all the questions related to per- sonal parish as an element of the organizational structure of the pastoral care of Polish immigrants in Toronto, Canada. The article will rather off er a canon- ist’s look at the reality which has multiple and diverse aspects. Moreover, the ambit of this refl ection will be limited to the Polish personal parishes presently entrusted in the Archdiocese of Toronto to the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a religious clerical congregation of pontifi cal right serving the Church in Canada since 1841. 1. The Past: Personal Parish in Church’s Legislation before the 1983 Code of Canon Law When referring to personal parishes, one has to go back to the 1917 Code of Canon Law or even to an earlier Church legislation. The Pio-Benedictine Code required that all dioceses be divided into parishes: Can. 216, §1 – The territory of each diocese shall be divided into distinct territo- rial parts; to each part is assigned its own church with a determined people, and its own rector, as its proper pastor, is to be put in charge for the necessary care of souls (Sources/Codex iuris canonici).1 1 All references to the canons of the 1917 Code will be styled „CIC/17, c.” for canon and „ IC/17, cc.” for canons, followed by the canon number(s).

  • Pope John Paul II
    To My Venerable Brother Cardinal Edward Idris Cassidy President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity I am pleased to send warm greetings through you to all taking part in the current Consultation between Anglican and Catholic Bishops being held at Mississauga near Toronto. I greet with particular affection His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Dr George Carey, who together with you has called this special gathering. On several occasions I have had the joy of meeting His Grace, most notably when he visited Rome in 1996 and when we opened together the Holy Door of the Basilica of Saint Paul's Outside the Walls in Rome on 18 January this year. On each occasion we prayed fervently for the restoration of the full visible unity which is Christ's will for his followers. I also greet in a special way my brother Cardinal Aloysius Ambrozic, and Anglican Bishop Terence Finlay of Ontario, who have welcomed all of you to Toronto, as well as those who have worked so hard to prepare this important meeting. For more than thirty years the Anglican Communion and the Catholic Church have been on a journey towards the restoration of unity, guided by the Holy Spirit who leads into all truth. In some places there have been very positive developments, as bonds have been strengthened through common prayer and joint action for the sake of the Gospel. In other places we are not so far along the road. Our international dialogue, ARCIC, has given real signs of hope that in the end our journey will not be in vain, even though new and serious obstacles have slowed our progress.

  • Homily of Jorge Cardinal Urosa, Archbishop of Caracas
    1 TO BE WITH HIM AND TO SEND THEM OUT TO PREACH Homily of Cardinal Jorge Urosa, Archbishop of Caracas, on the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of St. Augustine’s Seminary of Toronto. St. Michael’s Cathedral, September 25th, 2013 I was very happy and honored to receive His Eminence Cardinal Thomas Collins’ invitation to preside the Holy Eucharist in this solemn occasion. I want to thank him and the organizers of the centenary celebrations. You have made it possible for me to publicly express my sincere gratitude to this dear Church of Toronto for the solid formation I received some 50 years ago in St. Augustine’s Seminary. We are celebrating the 100th anniversary of our Seminary in the Year of Faith. Our celebration will certainly help us to renew and deepen our faith in Christ, the Eternal High Priest, in our own priesthood, and in the Eucharist, the fountain and summit of Christian life. In his Gospel, St. Mark tells us that Our Lord Jesus “went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted; and they went to him. He appointed twelve of them, whom he called apostles, to be with him, and send them out to preach, with power to drive out the demons”. (Mk 3, 14) “To be, to stay with Him, and to send them out to preach”: the Apostles lived with Jesus for three years, seeing and listening to him; going with him through the roads of Judea, Galilee and Samaria. They witnessed His miracles, heard His teachings, felt His immense goodness and mercy to the repentant sinner and to the poor.
