We also furnish the Berean Leaves and Sunday School Journal. We have the best assorted stock of Sunday School Books in the West, and sell at the very lowest rates Our conscientious aim is never to put objectionable books into a Sunday-School library on any pretext. When it is desired to buy $50 worth or more, we send out books of our own selection to nearly double the amount wanted, and allow the school to select from them and return the balance, which is more economical and satisfactory than to send a committee to purchase. We furnish all classes of Sunday-School papers of the different societies at the regular prices. If you wish for any other child's paper than the Sunday School Advocate send for our list. IfgTTHE Sunday Guest will challenge comparison with any paper of its class published, both in Literary Merit and Artistic Beauty, 1 and its special features, viz : "Blackboard Diagrams," 'Teachers' Corner " and " Chat with Six Year Olds," especially commend it to public attention. We shall add to its attractions whenever practi- cable. We ask those Sunday Schools who desire a New, Fresh, Sprightly and Attractive paper to examine The Sunday Guest. Send for the Berean Series to J. M. Arnold & Co., 189 Wood- ward Avenue. We are prepared to do Book-Binding in all its branches at the Cheapest Bates. All accounts are due at the Annual Conference, and if not paid, will be charged current rates of interest. Those employed by the Presiding Elder will be expected to fur- nish his certificate that they are entitled, to credit. It is the interest of all customers to secure their goods at cash rates whenever practicable. All remittances should be made by Express, P. O. Order, Draft or Registered Letter, as we cannot be responsible for money sent by mail. No exchange allowed on drafts. 1 * All orders should state by what conveyance and route, and to what destination the goods should be sent. Correspondence should be directed to J. M.

The Demand of Catholics in Transylvania for Their Own Church Province Since the fall of the Ceausescu regime, the 1948 Prohibition of the Greek Catholic Church in Romania has been lifted. The Roman Catholic Church, which had been until then tolerated outside of the law, has likewise obtained legal status. During the years of suppression, the Church had to struggle to maintain its very existence; now it is once again able to carry out freely its pastoral duties.

  • 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 .

  • Roman Catholic Liturgical Renewal Forty-Five Years After Sacrosanctum Concilium: an Assessment KEITH F
    Roman Catholic Liturgical Renewal Forty-Five Years after Sacrosanctum Concilium: An Assessment KEITH F. PECKLERS, S.J. Next December 4 will mark the forty-fifth anniversary of the promulgation of the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, which the Council bishops approved with an astounding majority: 2,147 in favor and 4 opposed. The Constitution was solemnly approved by Pope Paul VI—the first decree to be promulgated by the Ecumenical Council. Vatican II was well aware of change in the world—probably more so than any of the twenty ecumenical councils that preceded it.1 It had emerged within the complex social context of the Cuban missile crisis, a rise in Communism, and military dictatorships in various corners of the globe. President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated only twelve days prior to the promulgation of Sacrosanctum Concilium.2 Despite those global crises, however, the Council generally viewed the world positively, and with a certain degree of optimism. The credibility of the Church’s message would necessarily depend on its capacity to reach far beyond the confines of the Catholic ghetto into the marketplace, into non-Christian and, indeed, non-religious spheres.3 It is important that the liturgical reforms be examined within such a framework. The extraordinary unanimity in the final vote on the Constitution on the Liturgy was the fruit of the fifty-year liturgical movement that had preceded the Council. The movement was successful because it did not grow in isolation but rather in tandem with church renewal promoted by the biblical, patristic, and ecumenical movements in that same historical period.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See APOSTOLIC LETTER GIVEN MOTU PROPRIO SACRUM DIACONATUS ORDINEM GENERAL NORMS FOR RESTORING THE PERMANENT DIACONATE IN THE LATIN CHURCH June 18, 1967 Beginning already in the early days of the Apostles, the Catholic Church has held in great veneration the sacred order of the diaconate, as the Apostle of the Gentiles himself bears witness. He expressly sends his greeting to the deacons together with the bishops and instructs Timothy(1) which virtues and qualities are to be sought in them in order that they may be regarded as worthy of their ministry.(2) Furthermore, the Second Ecumenical Vatican Council, following this very ancient tradition, made honorable mention of the diaconate in the Constitution which begins with the words "Lumen Gentium," where, after concerning itself with the bishops and the priests, it praised also the third rank of sacred orders, explaining its dignity and enumerating its functions. Indeed while clearly recognizing on the one hand that "these functions very necessary to the life of the Church could in the present discipline of the Latin Church be carried out in many regions with difficulty," and while on the other hand wishing to make more suitable provision in a matter of such importance wisely decreed that the "diaconate in the future could be restored as a particular and permanent rank of the hierarchy."(3) Although some functions of the deacons, especially in missionary countries, are in fact 2 accustomed to be entrusted to lay men it is nevertheless "beneficial that those who perform a truly diaconal ministry be strengthened by the imposition of hands, a tradition going back to the Apostles, and be more closely joined to the altar so that they may more effectively carry out their ministry through the sacramental grace of the diaconate."(4) Certainly in this way the special nature of this order will be shown most clearly.

    COMMUNIQUE OF THE EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE OF RWANDA TO CATHOLIC FAITHFUL DURING THESE DIFFICULT MOMENTS DUE TO CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ who died and rose to save us, in these times of calamity due to the Covid-19 pandemic which continues to ravage the world, it is absolutely necessary that we strengthen ourselves in Christ, He who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Dear Priests, our cooperators in the triple pastoral charge of teaching, sanctifying and governing the people of God, our mission continues. We cannot currently meet face to face with the members of our faith communities for whom we have pastoral care, but spiritually we can do it very well. We are very grateful for your efforts to celebrate each day the Eucharistic Sacrifice in favor of the people of God and to help them by all means including new technologies to grow in spiritual communion with the Lord. Stay close to the flock entrusted to you anyway. The Spirit of God will show you the way to go so that the good prevails over the evil, the Hope over the despair and that the love of Christ spreads more in the world. Dear Religious sharing with us the same vocation of showing men that Jesus is still alive in the state of life that we have chosen by deciding to abandon everything and consecrate ourselves to Him alone, keep on, you too, praying for suffering humanity because of the Covid-19. Dear Faithful of Christ, daughters and sons of the living God, persevere in incessant prayer in your families and by the means of communication so as to overcome fear.

    OUR REF: YOUR REF: STATEMENT OF THE EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE OF MALAWI (ECM) ON THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE COVID-19 VACCINE Thursday, 11th March 2021 “Love does no wrong to a neighbour” (Romans 13:10) We, the Catholic Bishops of the Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM), commend the Government of Malawi for its efforts in ensuring that vulnerable Malawians have access to COVID-19 vaccines. Having consulted health experts, received guidance from the Decree of the President of the Pontifical Commission for Vatican City State No. 398 (issued on 8th February 2021 on the subject of health emergencies) and having listened to the Government of Malawi that it shall do its best to ensure that all eligible people in Malawi access the COVID-19 vaccine, we strongly encourage all Catholics and people of goodwill that it is morally appropriate to receive the COVID-19 vaccine that Malawi has received. We are aware of the fears and mixed feelings that some people might have towards COVID- 19 vaccine especially on safety and effectiveness of the vaccine that the Government of Malawi has received. We note such sentiments with care and wish to remind all people that the Church has always shared the government’s concern for the health of people. In protecting the health of people the Church will always advocate a means that is neither sanctioning or punitive in nature but which strikes a balance between protecting collective health and individual freedom of choice, without being oppressive to anyone. To encourage people to go for vaccination, we call upon the Government through the relevant offices to employ all necessary measures needed to uphold the genuineness, safety and effectiveness of the vaccine.
