Saint Vincent De Paul / Correspondence, Conferences -70- 2929.· TO EDME JOLLY, SUPERIOR, IN ROME Paris, August 1. 1659 Monsieur, The grace ofO[ur) L[ord) be with you forever! I received your letter ofJuly 7, which I sent immediately to the Duchesse d'Aiguillon because ofwhat you tell me about her chapel in Loreto, but she has not yet returned it to me. That is why I am not giving you any precise answer, since I cannot remember all of its contents. You mention the dispute concerning the Carmelites; I please Letter 2929. - Archives ofthe Mission. Paris, original signed letter. IThe Canne1ite nuns ofFrance had three Superiors: Jacques Charton, Martin Grandin. and Charles de Gamaches. Everything was peaceful until 1655. when the Superiors arrogated to themselves the right to make the canonical visitation of the monasteries of the Order. When Nicolo eli Basno. Nuncio atthe time, was informed oftheir intention, he opposed it. After some hesitation. they decided to go ahead anyway. InApril 1659. Grandin began the visitation ofthe Incarnation Monastery in Paris. while Gamaches went to Pontoise and Saint-Denis with the same intent. Mother Madeleine de Jesus and Mother Agnes appealed to the Sovereign Pontiff IIlld througb an apostolic notary informed the Superiors oftheir action. The visitations were suspended and the Superiors promised to accept with docility the decision oCtile Holy See. The affair, brought to the attention ofthe Congregation ofRegulars, did not drag on for very long. On July 16a decree declared that only Apostolic Vishon had the right to make the visitation of the Cannclite monasteries. On October 2 the Sovereign Pontiffconfrrmed the decree ofJuly 16. and Abbe de BCrulie. nephew ofCantinal de Benalle, was appointed Apostolic Visitor, as was Louis de Chandenier, Abbe de Toumus. Forty monasteries submitted; eighteen refused to accept the Brief, under the pretext that they had not been consulted. The three Superiors upheld the opposition andtried toenlistthe help ofSaint Vincent, who constantly recommended obedience to the Pope. The Saint died before harmony was restored. On January 13, 1661, Alexander VII had to intervene again. After the death ofCharton, his two colJeasues, Gamaches and Grandin, appointed a third Superior during the absence ofCelio Piccolomini, Nuncio at the time. In spite ofthe confinnlltion given by one ofthe Vicars-General ofthe diocese, Alexander VII annulled the appointment on April I I. 1661, and named as Superior Rene Alm6ras, Superior General of the Priests of the Mission. Since Gamaches and Grandin continued their visitations, the Sovereign Pontiff deposed them on September 30; he also deprived Rene Alm6ras of his authority and decided that each house should choose a Superior every three years.

I have not yet received your letter from the last regular mail. I am hoping to find in it the answer to the request I made you to let me know whether the Bishop ofNoyon' has sent a treasurer to his [Notre-Dame-]de-la-Paix chapel. Having previously written to ask me to find him a good one for it, he has made no further mention ofit, which leads me to believe that he no longer needs one.

Addressed: Brother JeanParre, ofthe Mission, in Saint-Quentin 2931. - TO JACQUES THOLARD, IN TROYES Paris, August 6, 1659 Monsieur, The grace ofO[ur] L[ord] be with you forever! I thank God for the submission He gives you to His good pleasure, as I see from your letter ofJuly 31 and have experienced so often. Ihave not yet received an answer from the Bishop ofAgde, Abbot ofVezelay.' As soon as I do, I will let you know whether or not you should go now or at some future time. Perhaps what I told him' about our custom ofsuspending missions during this period oftime will oblige him to postpone his missions until later; we shall see. Ifhe wants to have you there, I ask M. Dupuich' to give you Letter 2931. - Archives ofthe Mission, Paris, original signed letter. lLouis Fouquet lCf. no. 2922. 3Fran~is Dupuich was bom in Arras on July 3, 1616. After his ordination to the priesthood in September 1640. he entered the Congregation ofthe Mission in Paris on April 19. 1641, and took his vows in Troycs in November 1643, in the presenceofM. Dehorgny. He was Superior in several houses: Troyes. Marseilles. Warsaw, Metz, Saint-eharles. and twice in Richelieu. In 1679 he was sent to Poland on a very delicate mission, of which he acquitted himself with competence and success. Dupuich had the title ofVisitor in both Champagne and Poland; on January 2. 1683, he was asked to substitute for Thomas Berthe as Assistant General. when the latter was detained outside Paris. Dupuich was still alive in 1697. -73- M. Fromen!" as acompanion, for we cannot send you anyone from this house. You are right, Monsieur, to act simply with regard to confes­ sions, and it will be a good idea for you to continue to hear those who want to come to you, without having to go to the confessional for all sorts ofpeople,' unless it is to relieve the others when there is a large number to be heard. You might first inform that good Prelate that you will not be able to devote yourself to this work. Your good sister is at the Nom-de-Jesus' with M. Gorlidot's' aunt About three months ago, your niece brought her here because ofher infirmity. Since that time I have tried to get her into a house in Paris intended for such persons, but I could make no headway, "AntoineFroment. born: in Oeuf-en-Ternois (Pas-de-CaIais), entered the Congregation ofthe Mission atthe ParisSemilUU)' onOCtober 28. 1653. attwenty.six years ofage. He took his vows there on November 25, 1655. and renewed them on January 25,1656. 5For a long time Jacques Tholard had been assailed by scmples while hearing confessions (cr. va1.ll. nos. 424, 477. 495). 6'fhe Nom-de-Jesus [Name ofJesw:] hospice. Its foundation wasmade by an anonymous rich merohant ofParis. whoone day brought 100,000 livres to Saint Vincent for a good work ofthe latter's choice. Afterdiscussing his plan with the benefactor, the Saint decided to spend 11,000 livres for the purchase ofthe house called Nom-de-Jesus. which belonged to Saint-Lazare. and 20,000 livre! for enlarging the living space. should it btcome too small. He also constituted an inCOlTle of60,000 Iivres, to which 20.000 were added from Saint-Lazare. which later retrieved them; he allocated 5400 livres for chapeifumishings, and 3600 IIvres for room and board for forty poor persons fOr one year. All this was on condition that the Superior General ofthe Priests ofthe Mission, together with the laymen from paris whom he would employ, would have the spiritual and temporal direction of the hospital. and in this position would be authorized to receive and dismiss the poor. The contract was accepted on October 29. 1653. approved by the Vic:ars-General on March 15. 1654 (the Archbishop ofParis. Cardinal de Retz, was in exile in Rome). and ratified in the Parlement by letters patent in November. (Cf. Arch. Nat., M 53.) The work was already in operation in March 1653. Saint Vincent selected twenty male and twenty female artisans who, because ofold age or infinnity. could no longer earn their living; to occupy their time. they were provided with looms and tools. Men and wornen were housed in separate wings; although they came together in the same chapel for Mass. they were not permitted to see or speale. to one another. The Daughters ofCharity served them; a Priest of the Mission, in confonnity with the tenns ofthe contract, acted as chaplain.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See LETTER OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO THE BISHOPS OF INDIA Dear Brother Bishops, 1. The remarkable varietas Ecclesiarum, the result of a long historical, cultural, spiritual and disciplinary development, constitutes a treasure of the Church, regina in vestitu deaurato circumdata varietate (cf. Ps 44 and Leo XIII, Orientalium Dignitas), who awaits her groom with the fidelity and patience of the wise virgin, equipped with an abundant supply of oil, so that the light of her lamp may enlighten all peoples in the long night of awaiting the Lord’s coming. This variety of ecclesial life, which shines with great splendour throughout lands and nations, is also found in India. The Catholic Church in India has its origins in the preaching of the Apostle Thomas. It developed through contact with the Churches of Chaldean and Antiochian traditions and through the efforts of Latin missionaries. The history of Christianity in this great country thus led to three distinct sui iuris Churches, corresponding to ecclesial expressions of the same faith celebrated in different rites according to the three liturgical, spiritual, theological and disciplinary traditions. Although this situation has sometimes led to tensions in the course of history, today we can admire a Christian presence that is both rich and beautiful, complex and unique. 2. It is essential for the Catholic Church to reveal her face in all its beauty to the world, in the richness of her various traditions. For this reason the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, which celebrates its centenary year, having been established through the farsightedness of Pope Benedict XV in 1917, has encouraged, where necessary, the restoration of Eastern Catholic traditions, and ensured their protection, as well as respect for the dignity and rights of these ancient Churches.

  • Bishops' Parish Visitations
    CUSTOMARY for EPISCOPAL VISITATIONS What Is An Episcopal Visitation? The regular pastoral visitation of all congregations and worshiping communities in the Diocese of Long Island is among the principal responsibilities of a bishop. While the pastoral visitation is technically a canonical requirement (checking worship and sacramental registries, inspecting buildings etc.), it is mostly an opportunity for the bishop to celebrate ministry happening in local church communities. The pastoral visitation provides the bishop with an opportunity to preach and teach, share in the sacramental life of the church (sometimes including baptism and confirmation) and to build relationships through fellowship and collaboration. It is always the bishop’s hope that conversations with parish leaders will be grace-filled and honest and that the bishop would have an opportunity lend pastoral support and encouragement to the local mission of the church. How Are Visitations Scheduled? Visitations are scheduled balancing the following priorities: • the length of time since the last pastoral visitation; • the need to schedule episcopal rites: major parish anniversaries, dedications of new buildings, groundbreakings, etc. (Some of these will of necessity be scheduled on days other than Sunday); • particular pastoral needs of the parish; - the celebration of the feast of title or other significant event in the life of the parish; The bishop’s office schedules pastoral visitations up to 12 months in advance. However, rectors or vicars of congregations may also call to schedule a pastoral visitation. As a general rule, the bishop does not return to a parish for a regular pastoral visitation until all other parishes have been visited.

  • The Concept of “Sister Churches” in Catholic-Orthodox Relations Since
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Will T. Cohen Washington, D.C. 2010 The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II Will T. Cohen, Ph.D. Director: Paul McPartlan, D.Phil. Closely associated with Catholic-Orthodox rapprochement in the latter half of the 20 th century was the emergence of the expression “sister churches” used in various ways across the confessional division. Patriarch Athenagoras first employed it in this context in a letter in 1962 to Cardinal Bea of the Vatican Secretariat for the Promotion of Christian Unity, and soon it had become standard currency in the bilateral dialogue. Yet today the expression is rarely invoked by Catholic or Orthodox officials in their ecclesial communications. As the Polish Catholic theologian Waclaw Hryniewicz was led to say in 2002, “This term…has now fallen into disgrace.” This dissertation traces the rise and fall of the expression “sister churches” in modern Catholic-Orthodox relations and argues for its rehabilitation as a means by which both Catholic West and Orthodox East may avoid certain ecclesiological imbalances toward which each respectively tends in its separation from the other. Catholics who oppose saying that the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church are sisters, or that the church of Rome is one among several patriarchal sister churches, generally fear that if either of those things were true, the unicity of the Church would be compromised and the Roman primacy rendered ineffective.

  • Jceslaus SIPOVICH in MEMORIAM~
    jcESLAUS SIPOVICH IN MEMORIAM~ Downloaded from Brill.com09/25/2021 08:13:29AM via free access 4 THE JOURNAL OF BYELORUSSIAN STUDIES Ceslaus Sipovich 1914-1981 Downloaded from Brill.com09/25/2021 08:13:29AM via free access Bishop Ceslaus Sipovich 1914-1981 Bishop Ceslaus Sipovich, M.I.C., Titular Bishop of Mariamme and Apostolic Visitor of Byelorussians, died in London on Sunday 4 October 1981. His death, caused by a massive coronary, occurred during a meeting to mark the tenth anniversary of the Francis Skaryna Byelorussian Library and Museum, which he had founded. In his person Byelorussians have lost one of their most outstanding religious and national leaders of the century. One old frtend ex­ pressed the feelings of many when he said that for him the death of Bishop Sipovich marked the end of an era. Ceslaus Sipovich was born on 8 December 1914 into a farming family at Dziedzinka, a small village in the north-western corner of Byelorussia. At that particular time Byelorussia was incorporated in the Russian Empire, but some years later, as a result of changes brought about by the First World War, its western regions came under Polish rule. The parents of Ceslaus, Vincent (1877-1957) and Jadviha, born Tycka (1890-1974) were both Catholics. They had eight children, of whom five- four boys and one girl- survived, Ceslaus being the eldest. The life of a Byelorussian peasant was not easy, and children were expected at an early age to start to help their parents with the farm work. Ceslaus was no exception, and from that time on, throughout his entire life, he retained a love and respect for manual labour, especially that of a farmer.

  • St. John XXIII Feast: October 11
    St. John XXIII Feast: October 11 Facts Feast Day: October 11 Patron: of Papal delegates, Patriarchy of Venice, Second Vatican Council Birth: 1881 Death: 1963 Beatified: 3 September 2000 by Pope John Paul II Canonized: 27 April 2014 Saint Peter's Square, Vatican City by Pope Francis The man who would be Pope John XXIII was born in the small village of Sotto il Monte in Italy, on November 25, 1881. He was the fourth of fourteen children born to poor parents who made their living by sharecropping. Named Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, the baby would eventually become one of the most influential popes in recent history, changing the Church forever. Roncalli's career within the Church began in 1904 when he graduated from university with a doctorate in theology. He was ordained a priest thereafter and soon met Pope Pius X in Rome. By the following year, 1905, Roncalli was appointed to act as secretary for his bishop, Giacomo Radini-Tedeschi. He continued working as the bishop's secretary until the bishop died in August 1914. The bishop's last words to Roncalli were, "Pray for peace." Such words mattered in August 1914 as the world teetered on the brink of World War I. Italy was eventually drawn into the war and Roncalli was drafted into the Italian Army as a stretcher bearer and chaplain. Roncalli did his duty and was eventually discharged from the army in 1919. Free to serve the Church in new capacities he was appointed to be the Italian president of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, handpicked by Pope Benedict XV.

In introducing the Catholic Directory, it is our pleasing duty to reiterate our grateful thanks for the valuable assistance and in­ formation received from the Prelates and the Superiors of the Missions mentioned in this book. The compilation of the Catholic Direct­ ory involves no small amount of labour, which, however, we believe is not spent in vain, for the Directory seems to be of great use to many working in the same field. But We would like to see the Directory develop into a still more useful publication and rendered acceptable to a wider circle. This can only come about with the practical "sympathy and active co-operation of all ^ friends and well-wishers.
