When the visitor to Cambridge enters the Ante- chapel of Trinity College, he meets two objects of the deepest interest in art and science, — the marvellous statue of Newton, and the sitting figure of Bacon. If he raise his eyes to the painted windows, a different train of thought is awakened. One group especially attracts and detains him. It is a scene at Bethany, in the house of that family whom Jesus loved. Among the company gathered around him appears a face familiar to most students of the sweet and serious learning of the seven- teenth century : it is that of George Herbert, to whom, after so many years, his own college has consecrated this memorial. The circumstances of his life are neither many nor varied. He was bom— one of ten children— April 3d, 1593, in the castle of Montgomery in Wales. He came of a bold and noble race. There is at Penshurst a portrait of his brother, Lord Edward, painted by Isaac Oliver, which shows a swarthy countenance, with dark eyes and exceed- X MEMOIR OF HERBERT. ingly black hair. The poet’s father had the same complexion : he died in 1597, leaving George, in his fourth year, to the care of his mother. He remained, with two of his brothers, under a private tutor, until he was sent to Westminster School; from whence, at the age of fifteen, he was elected to Trinity College, Cambridge, where his name appears among the scholars, May 5, 1609. “In Cambridge, we may find our George Herbert’s behaviour to be such, that we may conclude he consecrated the first fruits of his early age to virtue, and a serious study of learning.” So writes good Isaak Walton. Nor is there reason to doubt the affectionate panegyrist. Herbert’s advance in academic rank was encouraging and rapid. Within two years after the taking of his Bachelor’s degree, he was chosen a Fellow of the Society; and, on the 21st of October, 1619, he obtained the distinguished post of public orator, vacated by Sir Francis Nethersole, who was then politically employed on the continent. It was an office, according to Fuller, of more honour than profit ; the original salary being only forty shillings a year. It dates its beginning from the early part of the 1 6th century ; before which period, rhetorical aid was procured as it was wanted, the scribe being paid by the letter. In Herbert’s time, the annual income was about thirty pounds. Bat the attractions of the oratorship did not lie on its pecuniary side. It was a high road to court-life. ; MEMOIR OF HERBERT. xi A former orator, Sir Robert Naunton, had been made a Secretary of State ; and Herbert cherished hopes of reaping a similar reward. Barnabas Oley had heard that he might have obtained the situation, but “that, like a genuine son of Levi, he balked all secular ways, saw neither father nor mother, child nor brother, faith nor friends (save in Christ Jesus), chose the Lord for his service, and His service for employment.” Walton gives a truer, though a less flattering, explanation. “ In this time of Mr. Herbert’s attendance and expectation of some good occasion to remove from Cambridge to court, God, in whom there is an unseen chain of causes, did, in a short time, put an end to the lives of two of his most obliging and most powerful friends, Lodowick, Duke of Richmond, and James, Marquis of Hamil- ton ; and, not long after him, King James died also, and with them all Mr. Herbert’s court-hopes so that he betook himself to a retreat from London to a friend in Kent, where he lived very privately, and was such a lover of solitariness, he was judged to impair his health more than his study had done.” Some earnest of future favours his learned ingenuity had already acquired ; for, in 1 623, he received from James a valuable “sinecure,” which his predecessor had formerly bestowed on Sir Philip Sidney.

BIRGITTA OF SWEDEN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF HUMANITIES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY INSTITUTE OF HISTORY, CULTURE AND CIVILISATION CENTRE FOR MEDIEVAL STUDIES BY EMILIA ŻOCHOWSKA ODENSE FEBRUARY 2010 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In my work, I had the privilege to be guided by three distinguished scholars: Professor Jacek Salij in Warsaw, and Professors Tore Nyberg and Kurt Villads Jensen in Odense. It is a pleasure to admit that this study would never been completed without the generous instruction and guidance of my masters. Professor Salij introduced me to the world of ancient and medieval theology and taught me the rules of scholarly work. Finally, he encouraged me to search for a new research environment where I could develop my skills. I found this environment in Odense, where Professor Nyberg kindly accepted me as his student and shared his vast knowledge with me. Studying with Professor Nyberg has been a great intellectual adventure and a pleasure. Moreover, I never would have been able to work at the University of Southern Denmark if not for my main supervisor, Kurt Villads Jensen, who trusted me and decided to give me the opportunity to study under his kind tutorial, for which I am exceedingly grateful. The trust and inspiration I received from him encouraged me to work and in fact made this study possible. Karen Fogh Rasmussen, the secretary of the Centre of Medieval Studies, had been the good spirit behind my work.

  • CONDEMNATION of COMMUNISM in PONTIFICAL MAGISTERIUM Since Pius IX Till Paul VI
    CONDEMNATION OF COMMUNISM IN PONTIFICAL MAGISTERIUM since Pius IX till Paul VI Petru CIOBANU Abstract: The present article, based on several magisterial documents, illus- trates the approach of Roman Pontiffs, beginning with Pius IX and ending with Paul VI, with regard to what used to be called „red plague”, i.e. communism. The article analyses one by one various encyclical letters, apostolic letters, speeches and radio messages in which Roman Pontiffs condemned socialist theories, either explicitly or implicitly. Keywords: Magisterium, Pope, communism, socialism, marxism, Christianity, encyclical letter, apostolic letter, collectivism, atheism, materialism. Introduction And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ (Rev 12,3-4.13.17). These words, written over 2.000 years ago, didn’t lose their value along time, since then and till now, reflecting the destiny of Christian Church and Christians – „those who guard the God words and have the Jesus tes- timony” – in the world, where appear so many „dragons” that have the aim to persecute Jesus Christ followers.

At the tomb of the Prince of the Apostles, in the majestic Vatican Basilica, Our immediate Predecessor of deathless memory, Pius XI, duly consecrated and raised to the fullness of the priesthood, as you well know, "the flowers and . latest buds of the Chinese episcopate."[1] 2. On that solemn occasion he added these words: "You have come, Venerable Brethren, to visit Peter, and you have received from him the shepherd's staff, with which to undertake your apostolic journeys and to gather together your sheep. It is Peter who with great love has embraced you who are in great part Our hope for the spread of the truth of the Gospel among your people."[2] 3. The memory of that allocution comes to Our mind today, Venerable Brethren and dear children, as the Catholic Church in your fatherland is experiencing great suffering and loss. But the hope of our great Predecessor was not in vain, nor did it prove without effect, for new bands of shepherds and heralds of the Gospel have been joined to the first group of bishops whom Peter, living in his Successor, sent to feed those chosen flocks of the Lord. 4. New works and religious undertakings prospered among you despite many obstacles.

  • Godność Człowieka I Dobro Wspólne W Papieskim Nauczaniu Społecznym
    Rozdział III Godność człowieka i dobro wspólne w nauczaniu papieskim w latach 1878−1958 1. Leon XIII i fundamenty papieskiego nauczania o godności człowieka i dobru wspólnym Nikomu nie wolno naruszać bezkarnie tej godności człowie- ka, którą sam Bóg z wielka czcią rozporządza899. Cel bowiem wytknięty państwu dotyczy wszystkich oby- wateli, bo jest nim dobro powszechne, w którym uczestni- czyć mają prawo wszyscy razem i każdy z osobna, w części należnej900. Uczestnicy współczesnego dyskursu politycznego w poszukiwaniu aksjologicznych fun- damentów dla ustawodawstwa krajowego czy ponadnarodowego odwołują się do takich kategorii, jak: wolność, równość, prawa człowieka. Do tych fundamentalnych idei zaliczyć należy również dignitas humana i bonum commune901. Wydaje się poza dyskusją, że wielką rolę w przetrwaniu i rozwoju tych idei odegrała katolicka nauka społeczna, co uzasadnia poddanie analizie poglądów w tej materii twórcy papieskiego nauczania społecznego Le- ona XIII. Wybrany 20 lutego 1878 r. na papieża arcybiskup Perugii, kardynał Vincenzo Gioacchi- no Aloiso Pecci (1810−1903) przybrał imię Leona XIII. Nowy papież rozbudził w środowi- skach katolickich, zwłaszcza w kręgach zajmujących się problemami społecznymi, wielkie nadzieje na zmiany, które byłyby w stanie dostosować Kościół katolicki do istniejących 899 Rerum novarum Jego Świątobliwości Leona, z opatrzności Bożej papieża XIII, encyklika o robot- nikach z 15 maja 1891 r.
