As far as the Catholic Church is concerned, the principal focus of her interventions in the public arena is the protection and promotion of the dignity of the person, and she is thereby consciously drawing particular attention to principles which are not negotiable. Among these the following emerge clearly today: (a) protection of life in all its stages, from the first moment of conception until natural death; (b) recognition and promotion of the natural structure of the family as a union between a man and a woman based on marriage, and its defense from attempts to make it juridically equivalent to radically different forms of union which in reality harm it and contribute to its destabilization, obscuring its particular character and its irreplaceable social role; (c) the protection of the right of parents to educate their children.

    Delegate’s Dialogue February – March 2013 Congratulations to the Sisters of Charity The Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth, Convent Station, celebrated with a Mass of Thanksgiving the declaration of one of their own – Sister Miriam Teresa Demjanovich – being named “venerable” by Pope Benedict VI in May of last year. We rejoice with all of your Sisters in this distinct privilege. Running the Race; Fighting the Good Fight This office has been notified of the following deaths: Sister Aloysia Helmstetter, O.S.B. St. Walburga Monastery Sister Mary Elfrida Zola, C.S.S.F. Immaculate Conception, Lodi New to the Archdiocese of Newark We welcome in to the Archdiocese of Newark two new groups: The Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Help who live and work at Madonna Parish in Fort Lee and whose charism is “Evangelization”—how appropriate in this day of the New Evangelization. Their principle work is that of the “Catholic Bible Life Movement (CBLM). The program is for adults and young adults who attend Bible study groups. Each course takes as many weeks as there are chapters in the Book being studied. There is reflection, meditation and practical application of the teachings in daily life. At present, the courses are only given in Korean but the Sisters are working diligently to be able to do the presentations in English. More can be found by “googling” the Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. A second group recently approved for ministry within the Archdiocese is the movement, Bonds of Marian Love. Bonds of Marian Love is a private Association of the Faithful founded in Columbia in 1999.

Alphonsus Ihuoma Submitted to the graduate degree program in Law and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D) ________________________________ Professor Raj Bhala (Chairperson) _______________________________ Professor Virginia Harper Ho (Member) ________________________________ Professor Uma Outka (Member) ________________________________ Richard Coll (Member) Date Defended: May 15, 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Fr. Alphonsus Ihuoma certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE HOLY SEE, SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW: ASSESSING THE SOCIAL MISSION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE GATT- WTO SYSTEM by Fr. Alphonsus Ihuoma ________________________________ Professor Raj Bhala (Chairperson) Date approved: May 15, 2014 ii ABSTRACT Man, as a person, is superior to the state, and consequently the good of the person transcends the good of the state. The philosopher Jacques Maritain developed his political philosophy thoroughly informed by his deep Catholic faith. His philosophy places the human person at the center of every action. In developing his political thought, he enumerates two principal tasks of the state as (1) to establish and preserve order, and as such, guarantee justice, and (2) to promote the common good. The state has such duties to the people because it receives its authority from the people. The people possess natural, God-given right of self-government, the exercise of which they voluntarily invest in the state.

  • Popes and Pornocrats -5
    POPES AND PORNOCRATS -5- POPES AND PORNOCRATS: ROME IN THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES by Lindsay Brook1 ABSTRACT Rome between the late ninth and the mid-eleventh centuries was in turmoil. Rival families fought for control of the city, successfully fighting off the Saracens encamped close to the city, and then against various interlopers, from Lombardy, Tuscany and Germany. This article tries to use prosopography and genealogy to document the stratagems employed by the Roman aristocracy in this period to gain and retain power, especially through placements of popes. An Appendix shows how brutal and short the lives of many of these medieval popes were. Foundations (2003) 1 (1): 5-21 © Copyright FMG ‘For half a century Theodora … and her equally infamous daughters … filled the see of Peter with their paramours, their sons and grandsons … the so-called Pornocracy’ Kurtz, 1860, II, §126, 3792 Popes have always been politicians, from choice, necessity or a mixture of both. In the middle ages, often it was a matter of personal survival. The period examined in this article – the late ninth to the mid eleventh century – is especially fascinating. It saw the fragmentation and collapse of the Carolingian empire, the rise and fall of successor dynasts and the attempt by the German emperors to assert their control over Italy. The chaos beyond Rome allowed three powerful Roman families during this time to exercise an unprecedented influence upon the choice of popes, and as far as possible to keep the appointment in the family. The papacy was regarded as no more than a pawn – albeit an important one – in incessant power struggles between various factions in Rome and its environs, and between them and dynasts elsewhere who sought to control the city and the Holy See3.
