Pope Francis is seeking to make the indulgence as widely available as possible. In the extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, a Holy Door is to be opened in every cathedral around the world, as well as in particular shrines where large numbers of pilgrims come to honor the mercy of God. Even though we can only obtain one plenary indulgence a day, if you perform the required actions for other plenary indulgences on the same day, you can still obtain multiple partial indulgences. To receive the Jubilee Year indulgence, you must fulfill the usual conditions, (specified below) and perform the indul- genced act: passing through a designated Holy Door during the extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy (between Dec. 8, 2015, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, and Nov. 20, 2016, the Solemnity of Christ the King) or per- forming one of the corporal or spiritual works of mercy. As for the sick and the elderly, the Holy Father says, "For them it will be of great help to live their sickness and suf- fering as an experience of closeness to the Lord who in the mystery of his Passion, death and Resurrection indicates the royal road which gives meaning to pain and loneliness. Living with faith and joyful hope this moment of trial, re- ceiving communion or attending Holy Mass and community prayer, even though the various means of communica- tion, will be for them the means of obtaining the Jubilee Indulgence." For the imprisoned, the Holy Father says, "They may obtain the Indulgence in the chapels of the prisons. May the gesture of directing their thought and prayer to the Father each time they cross the threshold of their cell signify for them their passage through the Holy Door, because the mercy of God is able to transform hearts, and is also able to transform bars into an experience of freedom." You may receive the plenary indulgence yourself, or offer it for a person in purgatory.

  • HOLY DOORS Holy Door Is to Make the Journey Istock That Every Christian Is Called to Make, to Go from Darkness to N My Last Bishop’S Message, We Talked Light
    BISHOP’S MESSAGE On Dec. 8, this Holy Door at Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome was opened for pilgrims to walk through. (churches of special significance) and each has its own Holy Door. These doors are normally walled up from the inside and could not be opened every day. During jubilee years, the walls are broken down and the doors are opened so pilgrims can walk through and gain the plenary indulgence connected with the jubilee year. The symbolism of the Holy Door becomes apparent when one considers what happens at the door of a church: it is where we pass from this world into the holy presence of God. Here, the priest or deacon welcomes the parents of the baby brought to be baptized into the Church; here, too, he greets the bride and groom at the beginning of their wedding liturgy; and finally, the church door is where the priest meets the casket of the deceased at the beginning of his or her funeral. In the words of our Holy Father Francis, “There is only one way that opens wide the entrance into the life of communion with God: this is Jesus, the one and absolute way to salvation. To Him alone can the words of the Psalmist be applied in full truth: ‘This is the door of the Lord where the just may enter.’” (Psalm 118:20) The church door is, literally and figuratively, the way to Christ. The Holy Door takes this symbolism one step further. To pass through a HOLY DOORS Holy Door is to make the journey iStock that every Christian is called to make, to go from darkness to n my last Bishop’s Message, we talked light.

  • INDULGENCES the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) #1471
    INDULGENCES WHAT IS AN INDULGENCE? The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) #1471 quotes Pope St. Paul VI in responding: "An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints." "An indulgence is partial or plenary according as it removes either part or all of the temporal punishment due to sin." The faithful can gain indulgences for themselves or apply them to the dead. WHAT IS “THE TEMPORAL PUNISHMENT DUE TO SINS?” Sin has a double consequence. Grave sin deprives us of communion with God and therefore makes us incapable of eternal life, the privation of which – i.e. eternal damnation in hell – is called the “eternal punishment” of sin. Such punishment, of its nature, cannot be remitted. On the other hand, every sin, even venial sin, entails an unhealthy attachment to creatures, from which we must be purified either here on earth or after death in the state called Purgatory. This purification, whether undergone here or in Purgatory, frees one from what is called the “temporal punishment” due to sin. (cf. CCC #1472) IS THE PUNISHMENT DUE TO SIN INFLICTED BY A VENGEFUL GOD? While the Bible certainly speaks of God’s wrath, the punishment due to sin, whether eternal or temporal, “must not be conceived as a kind of vengeance inflicted by God from without, but as following from the very nature of sin.

  • Your Eigning Hert: a Hapax Legomenon in Cursor Mundi, Line 28339
    Neophilologus (2018) 102:279–284 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11061-017-9548-2 Your eigning hert: A Hapax Legomenon in Cursor Mundi, Line 28339 B. S. W. Barootes1 Published online: 8 December 2017 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature 2017 Abstract The Middle English word eigning appears in a single line, in a single extant manuscript. After 125 years, it remains the sole undefined word from the glossary accompanying the published text of the Cursor Mundi. This paper provides an Anglo-Norman etymology for the word, one which makes a surprising connexion with secular romances, the very genre that the Cursor-poet and other penitential writers seek to condemn. Keywords Cursor Mundi Á Book of Shrift Á Etymology Á Middle English Á Anglo- Norman Á Old French The sixth volume of Richard Morris’s impressive variorum edition of the northern version of the Cursor Mundi contains a thorough glossary prepared by the German philologist Max Kaluza. This catalogue aims at comprehensiveness: its more than 8000 entries include many commonplace words such as kind (nature), munk (monk), and ac (but), alongside rare or obscure words like snade (bait or lure), scep (a basket made of rushes or straw), and larechild (scholar or apprentice). Nevertheless, Kaluza’s glossary has six entries for which no definitions are given: eigning, gains, mell, mik, quil, and thring (Kaluza 1892). Each entry simply lists the line number after a lone question mark. In the 125 years since the Kaluza glossary first appeared, five of these six entries have been defined.1 The meaning of eigning, a hapax 1 Mell (25038), mik (2807), and thring (11821) are all listed in the Middle English Dictionary (Kurath 2001), and each entry cites the corresponding line from the Cursor Mundi as evidence.

  • Why the Pope's Blessing on March 27 Will Be Absolutely Unique
    Why the pope’s blessing on March 27 will be absolutely unique aleteia.org/2020/03/26/why-the-popes-blessing-on-march-27-will-be-absolutely-unique How can the pope get closer to believers scattered around the planet at a moment of grave danger? This is a question that Francis undoubtedly reflected upon when the coronavirus began its rapid spread around Italy and the globe. The answer does not consist in live-streaming Mass so that everyone can follow him through the Internet, even though he is in fact doing that each morning. In fact, “following” the celebration of Mass through the media, theologically speaking, is not “participating.” There is no such thing as media sacraments. Mass on television cannot replace the sacrament of the Eucharist. If one cannot attend Mass, watching a televised Mass can be a great spiritual help, but the viewer doesn’t participate in the sacrament. Only a pope What, then, can the pope do to make himself actively present in the life of each member of the faithful? There’s a unique act he can perform: the papal blessing “Urbi et Orbi,” which translates from Latin “to the city [of Rome] and to the world.” FOLLOW THE BLESSING HERE. It’s an act which no other bishop can perform, and which — in contrast to the Mass — can take place effectively through the media, for the good of the souls of the faithful. The Vatican determined some decades ago that those who receive the pope’s “Urbi et Orbi” blessing through a live broadcast are eligible to receive its blessing, just as those physically present in St.

  • WHAT PRICE INDULGENCES? TRENT and TODAY Pope Paul VI Believed It Useful to Promote the Practice of Indulgences
    WHAT PRICE INDULGENCES? TRENT AND TODAY Pope Paul VI believed it useful to promote the practice of indulgences. Indulgences, the Pope says, aid the individual in his own personal conversion and further the reconciliation of all men.1 Today, when the practice has very largely disappeared, one can well ask if the practice can really be so meaningful for our modern Church. Also, is it not with mixed feelings that an ecumenist has to look at a practice that Luther and the Reform found so repugnant? To understand what an indulgence is and can mean for the modern Church, this paper offers a survey of attitudes manifested in Tridentine debate on the matter. This small contribution is significant, I believe, because it reveals the theology out of which came the Catholic Church's most authoritative position on indulgences.2 And I find that the under­ standing gleaned from scanning this debate lends support to the inter­ pretation given to an indulgence by Poschmann and Rahner.3 QUESTIONS FOR DEBATE AT TRENT Shortly after promulgating its decree on sacraments in general (March 3,1547), the Council of Trent convened for a time at Bologna (March 25, 1547 to Sept. 13,1549). On June 19,1547, the papal legates handed several questions to the congregation of consultant theologians (these consultant 1 Cf.

  • Fund-Raising for a Medieval Monastery: Indulgences and Great Bricett
    FUND-RAISING FOR A MEDIEVAL MONASTERY: INDULGENCES AND GREAT BRICETT PRIORY' by R.N. SWANSON ALTHOUGH THEY TEND to evokederision and dismissalbecauseof their associationwith Chaucer's Pardoner and Luther's onslaught on catholicism,indulgences were, arguably, one of the fundamental and most ubiquitouselements of pre-Reformationreligion.They were certainlymuch utilised as a means of fund-raising,and that very exploitation attests their popularity. Yetthe mechanismsfor such fund-raising are often obscure, dependent on scattered evidenceand chancesurvivals.One cacheof materialwhichthrowssomelight on the collectingprocess now survivesamong the archivesof King'sCollege,Cambridge, concerning the priory of Great Bricett in Suffolk. The priory wasfounded in the seconddecade ofthe 12thcentury by Ralph son of Brien. Its early historyis ambiguous:although linked to the French monasteryof St Léonard-de- Noblat (now in Haute Vienne), it was only at the end of the 13th century that it was recognised as fully dependent on that house, thereby definitively entering the ranks of that fairly large group of small monasterieswhich, because of those foreign connections,are collectivelyknown as the alien priories.2The eventual fate of mostof those houses,during the course of the Anglo-Frenchwarsof the 14thand 15thcenturies, wasto be confiscation by the Crown, with their properties —and their records —in many casespassing to other bodies.

  • The Church's Practice of Granting Indulgences Q Q
    Frequently Asked Questions regarding The Church’s Practice of Granting Indulgences What is an indulgence? Q An indulgence is the remission in the eyes of God of the temporal punish - ment due to sins which have already been forgiven by faith in Christ’s redemptive death, repentance and (when necessary) sacramental absolution. Because Christ has established the Church as the means by which the Gospel is to be preached, He has also granted to the Church all the ministries proper to redemption, including the right to distribute authoritatively and apply effec - tively the treasury of expiatory works of Christ, Our Lady, and all the saints. (Apostolic Constitution Indulgentiarum doctrina , norm. 1) Why is there temporal punishment if our sins have already Q been forgiven? Sin is both an offense against God and a rupture of the relationship we enjoy with God through Baptism. Even when the offense is forgiven, the damage done to the relationship must still be repaired - as it would have to be in any relationship! When a child has a tantrum and breaks a window, even though his parents forgive him when he or she shows contrition and has a purpose of amendment, the window must still be repaired and the previous level of trust restored. The child may also be punished if that is necessary to teach the child the gravity of his misbehavior and thus redirect him or her away from such outbursts. What we call the ‘temporal punishment’ due to our sin, then, is the need to repair the damage done by sin. The sinner must come to learn the gravity of his offense and through prayer and penance purify his attach - ments so that he is no longer attracted to sin.

  • The Relations of the Catholic Church with Georgian Christianity in Modern History
    Journal of Eastern Christian Studies 67(3-4), 347-373. doi: 10.2143/JECS.67.3.3149539 © 2015 by Journal of Eastern Christian Studies. All rights reserved. THE RELATIONS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WITH GEORGIAN CHRISTIANITY IN MODERN HISTORY JOHN FLANNERY THE ORIGINS OF CHRISTIANITY IN GEORGIA The historical origins of Christianity in Georgia are ancient. Tradition has St. Andrew and St. Matthias the Canaanite both preaching the Gospel in Western Georgia, while other sources posit the presence in Eastern Georgia of Bartholomew and Thaddeus, also claimed as the evangelisers of neigh- bouring Armenia. The prevalence of Christianity in eastern Georgia is dif- ficult to quantify before the fourth century, with the conversion of Mirian III (r. 284-361) and his family, following which Christianity came under state protection.
