  • The Loss of the Office of Pastor Under the 1983 Code of Canon Law
    Biuletyn Stowarzyszenia Kanonistów Polskich XXX (2020), no. 33, p. 207-218 https://doi.org/10.32077/skp.2020.33.1-13en Łukasz Sztolf THE LOSS OF THE OFFICE OF PASTOR UNDER THE 1983 CODE OF CANON LAW Introduction Parish is the smallest community of the People of God. A person becomes a member of a parish not through physical birth but through faith in Jesus Christ and baptism. It is a pastor (parish priest) who exercises the pastoral care of this community and falls under the authority of the diocesan bishop as regards the manner of managing his office. Through his ordination, the parish priest carries out his triple functions of teaching, sanctifying, and go- verning. He is also responsible for the economic and administrative matters as well as for mutual relations with his associates: the vicars and the parish council. The purpose of this article is to discuss the procedure of loss of the office of a parish priest as provided in universal law of the Roman Catholic Church, i.e. the 1983 Code of Canon Law.1 Under canon law, the loss of an ecclesia- stical office can have various forms (can. 184-196 CIC/83). The article looks into the different procedures of vacating the office of a pastor, both territorial and personal one. The causes of losing the office of a pastor include: the lap- se of time (i.e. reaching the retirement age, priest’s death, expiration of the term of office); permanent obstacles to holding the office, such as illness, exile, banishments; resignation at the priest’s own request; transfer to another pastoral institution or office as well as punitive removal without entrusting another office or the privation of office.

  • Modern Alternative Popes*
    Modern Alternative Popes* Magnus Lundberg Uppsala University The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) is arguably the most important event in modern Catholicism, and a major act on the twentieth-century religious scene at large. On several points, the conciliar fathers made changes in how the Catholic Church perceived the modern world. The language in the decrees was different from earlier councils’, and the bishops opened up for ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, seeing at least “seeds of truth” in other religious traditions. The conciliar fathers also voted in favour of liberty of religion, as meaning something more than the right to practise Catholic faith. A very concrete effect of the Council was the introduction of the New Mass Order (Novus Ordo Missae) in 1969 that replaced the traditional Roman rite, decreed by Pius V in 1570. Apart from changes in content, under normal circumstances, the new mass should be read in the vernacular, not in Latin as before. Though many Catholics welcomed the reforms of Vatican II, many did not. In the period just after the end of the Council, large numbers of priests and nuns were laicized, few new priest candidates entered the seminaries, and many laypeople did not recognize the church and the liturgy, which they had grown up with. In the post- conciliar era, there developed several traditionalist groups that criticized the reforms and in particular the introduction of the Novus Ordo. Their criticism could be more or less radical, and more or less activist. Many stayed in their parishes and attended mass there, but remained faithful to traditional forms of devotions and paid much attention to modern Marian apparitions.

  • Papal Annual Medals, 1605–1700
    religions Article Pressing Metal, Pressing Politics: Papal Annual Medals, 1605–1700 Matthew Knox Averett Department of Fine and Performing Arts, Creighton University, 2500 California Plaza, Omaha, NE 68178, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-402-280-1455; Fax: +1-402-280-2320 Academic Editor: Ted G. Jelen Received: 18 February 2016; Accepted: 11 May 2016; Published: 20 May 2016 Abstract: This article surveys images depicted on the reverses of papal annual medals in the seventeenth century, beginning in 1605 under Paul V (r. 1605–21) with the first confirmed annual medal, and ending in 1700 at the conclusion of the papacy of Innocent XII (r. 1691–1700), a reign that marked a distinct change in papal politics in advance of the eighteenth century. The article mines a wealth of numismatics images and places it within a narrative of seventeenth-century papal politics. In the ninety-six years under consideration, ten popes issued ninety-four annual medals (sede vacante produced generic annual medals in 1667 and 1691). Annual medals are a unique iteration of papal commemorative medals and they celebrate an important papal achievement from the preceding year. The production of annual medals was an exercise in identity creation, undertaken to advance the image of the pope as an aristocratic prince in three specific roles: as builder, warrior, and impresario. The timeliness of the medals makes them valuable sources to gauge the perceived success of the papacy on an annual basis and to chart the political course plotted by popes through the seventeenth century. Keywords: Rome; papacy; annual medals; numismatics 1.

  • Sede Vacante Patronage Is Exercised
    SECTION 2, VACANCIES IN SUFFRAGAN SEES AND OTHER ECCLESIASTICAL OFFICES MEASURE 2010 (APPOINTMENTS BY THE CROWN DURING CERTAIN VACANCIES) CROWN BENEFICES (PARISH REPRESENTATIVES) MEASURE 2010 Section 2 of the Vacancies in Suffragan Sees and Other Ecclesiastical Offices Measure 2010 (“the Vacancies Measure”) and the whole of the Crown Benefices (Parish Representatives) Measure 2010 (“the Parish Representatives Measure”) come into force on 1st January 2011. The former makes changes to the way in which the Crown’s sede vacante patronage is exercised. That latter provides for PCCs of Crown benefices to appoint parish representatives whose approval must be sought before the Crown may present a priest for institution. Section 2, Vacancies in Suffragan Sees and Other Ecclesiastical Offices Measure – statutory delegation of the Crown’s sede vacante patronage 1. Diocesan bishops, in right of their sees, exercise various types of patronage. This includes rights of patronage in respect of certain parochial benefices. It also includes the right to appoint to certain residentiary canonries and the appointment of archdeacons. 2. When a diocesan see is vacant The Queen is guardian and custodian of the temporalities of the see. The temporalities of a see include the rights of patronage that belong to the see. (They formerly also included episcopal estates but these are now vested in the Church Commissioners and no longer form part of the temporalities; but rights of patronage still do.) 3. Therefore, when a diocesan see is vacant, the rights of patronage belonging to that see are exercisable by Her Majesty as guardian of the temporalities. That means that in the event of an ecclesiastical office in respect of which the bishop has the right of patronage being vacant during a vacancy in see, the Crown presents to that vacant office.1 This is known as the Crown’s sede vacante patronage.
