The destruction of human embryos involved in such research amounts to “the sacrifice of human beings,” and is to be condemned, said the Bishop Elio Sgreccia president emeritus of the Pontifical Academy for Life, Bishop Elio Sgreccia. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave final approval for a clinical trial of embryonic stem cells as a treatment for patients with spinal-cord injuries, making the United States the first country to allow the testing of such cells on human beings. Geron Corp., the U.S. company which won the FDA approval, plans to perform tests on patients paralyzed by a spinal cord injury. The company had won FDA approval early Retired Father Hilary Meny concelebrates a Mass on June 23 at the Archabbey Church of Our Lady of Einsiedeln in St. Meinrad during a convocation of last year but, after mice treated with the cells archdiocesan priests held there.

CNS photo/Paul Haring CNS photo/Paul And now, after recent excavations in Rome’s oldest prison, archaeologists say they have uncovered evidence that, while not providing direct proof, does support that belief. The prison, which lies beneath the Church of St. Joseph of the Carpenters facing the Roman Forum, was closed for the past year as experts dug up old floors and picked away plaster. They found and restored a 14th-century fresco of Jesus with his arm around a smiling St. Peter and an 11th-century fresco of Jesus with the oldest known image of the Campidoglio, Rome’s city hall, behind him. Patrizia Fortini from the city of Rome’s department of archaeological heritage led the excavation and restoration project.

Autorevoli studiosi e docenti hanno da subito accolto l’invito dell’As- sociazione Scienza & Vita a contribuire, per le rispettive competenze, con la redazione di articoli il cui significato è immediatamente percepi- bile: rappresentano un omaggio al maestro di bioetica, riconosciuto a livello internazionale, fondatore di una Scuola di alto prestigio e diffuso apprezzamento. Certo, sono tanti coloro che, di pari rilievo accademico ed ecclesiale, avrebbero potuto partecipare a questa iniziativa ma, come facilmente intuibile, si sarebbe dovuto pensare ad un’opera con diversa impostazione editoriale. Raccogliere sinteticamente, nello spazio proprio di un’introduzione, il pensiero di S. Em.za Prof. Elio Sgreccia è compito inesigibile. Si riman- da, pertanto, alla vasta letteratura in merito e ai contributi riportati nel volume. Tuttavia è prioritario rilevare l’orizzonte di senso offerto dalla grande significanza del pensiero e dell’insegnamento di Elio Sgreccia che, giustificati con argomentazioni fondate razionalmente, assicurano la possibilità di declinare virtuosamente scienza e fede. L’antropologia personalista ontologica non è lettura della vita che esclude il confronto e la ricchezza dei contributi di altre conoscenze, come quelle della biomedicina. Tutt’altro. Rappresenta una semantica di verità inclusiva, riconoscibile da ognuno e che – dando ragione della ir- riducibile unicità e intrinseca dignità di ogni uomo – è apertura autentica e rigorosa al dialogo con i vari saperi umani e loro sviluppi.

  • Identifying the Antichrist Part 1 of 2
    Prophecy Study 23 Identifying The Antichrist Part 1 of 2 Introduction For centuries, many Christian leaders have identified the pope or the papacy as the Antichrist. These include the great French reformer, John Calvin; Martin Luther; Thomas Cranmer; John Knox; John Wesley; John Wycliffe; John Huss; Jerome and John Melanchthon. Martin Luther, fourteenth century Catholic theologian turned Protestant reformer, said: • “We here are of the conviction that the papacy is the seat of the true and real Antichrist.... personally, I declare that I owe the Pope no other obedience than that to Antichrist.”1 • “Already I feel greater liberty in my heart; for at last I know that the pope is Antichrist, and that his throne is that of Satan himself.”2 Those Protestant convictions have continued into the twenty-first century by some. However, as the Islamic world has become more violent and intolerant of Christianity, especially in the twenty-first century, many are identifying Islam as the end-time Antichrist. The Bible talks about two rises of a single power that defies God and His people. The only way we can really understand the truth on this issue is to: 1. Look at the defining characteristics of this “anti- God,” “anti-Christ,” power in the Bible – and 2. Look at the timing of when this power comes on the scene of history. The Behistun Inscription in Important Background History Northwestern Iran (Ancient Assyria/Persia) displays the The ten northern tribes of Israel had been decimated and "earliest" known depiction of the chiefs of the 10 northern taken captive by the Assyrians under kings Tiglath-Pileser tribes of Israel.

Greek texts and English translations of the Bible: a comparison and contrast of the Textus Receptus Greek New Testament of the 16th century and the Alexandrian text of Westcott and Hort (19th century) and Aland and Metzger (20th century) concerning variant texts that pertain to the orthodox Christology of the Council of Nicea, A.D. 325. Master of Arts (History), December 2002, 155 pp., 149 titles. The argument of this paper is that certain salient passages in the New Testament concerning Christology, as it was defined in the Nicene creed in A.D. 325, reflect such orthodoxy better in the Textus Receptus Greek texts and the English translations made from them than do the Alexandrian texts. Arian theology, which was condemned as heretical at Nicea, is examined. Patristic quotations, historical texts, and arguments of the scholars are cited and traced, along with a comparison of Christological verses.

  • Popes in History
    popes in history medals by Ľudmila Cvengrošová text by Mons . Viliam Judák Dear friends, Despite of having long-term experience in publishing in other areas, through the AXIS MEDIA company I have for the first time entered the environment of medal production. There have been several reasons for this decision. The topic going beyond the borders of not only Slovakia but the ones of Europe as well. The genuine work of the academic sculptress Ľudmila Cvengrošová, an admirable and nice artist. The fine text by the Bishop Viliam Judák. The “Popes in history” edition in this range is a unique work in the world. It proves our potential to offer a work eliminating borders through its mission. Literally and metaphorically, too. The fabulous processing of noble metals and miniatures produced with the smallest details possible will for sure attract the interest of antiquarians but also of those interested in this topic. Although this is a limited edition I am convinced that it will be provided to everybody who wants to commemorate significant part of the historical continuity and Christian civilization. I am pleased to have become part of this unique project, and I believe that whether the medals or this lovely book will present a good message on us in the world and on the world in us. Ján KOVÁČIK AXIS MEDIA 11 Celebrities grown in the artist’s hands There is one thing we always know for sure – that by having set a target for himself/herself an artist actually opens a wonderful world of invention and creativity. In the recent years the academic sculptress and medal maker Ľudmila Cvengrošová has devoted herself to marvellous group projects including a precious cycle of male and female monarchs of the House of Habsburg crowned at the St.

  • A Catholic Reflects on Dialogue in the Abortion Debate Joseph Tham* School of Bioethics, Regina Apostolorum Pontifical University, Rome, Italy
    l Resea ica rc in h l & Tham, J Clin Res Bioeth 2014, 5:1 C f B Journal of o i o l e a t DOI: 10.4172/2155-9627.1000168 h n r i c u s o J Clinical Research & Bioethics ISSN: 2155-9627 Review Article Open Access A Catholic Reflects on Dialogue in the Abortion Debate Joseph Tham* School of Bioethics, Regina Apostolorum Pontifical University, Rome, Italy Abstract The recent comments by Pope Francis on abortion have caused a bit of a stir in the media. His nuanced responses are often lost in the media, and also by advocates on both sides of the abortion debate. While the Catholic position against abortion is common knowledge, this does not preclude openness to dialogue. This article looks at some recent attempts at dialogue on the controversial topic of abortion. The first example comes from a book that surveys the public view on abortion that surprisingly finds many areas of common ground. Followed by this is a theological reading of Pope Benedict’s encyclical ‘Charity in truth’ that can be the basis of dialogue between parties with divergent views. A third example refers to a conference in Princeton University three years ago, where I mentioned several points where dialogue could be built. Keywords: Abortion; Catholicism common ground; dialogue; that he is a false prophet using religion for himself… The risk in seeking Caritas in Veritate and finding God in all things, then, is the willingness to explain too much, to say with human certainty and arrogance: ‘God is here.’ We will Introduction find only a god that fits our measure [2].

    Constantine in Scriptural Mode: John Foxe’s “Magisterial” Revisions to Acts and Monuments’ Second Edition (1570) by Wesley Miles Goudy A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology awarded by Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto. © Copyright by Wesley Miles Goudy 2018 Constantine in Scriptural Mode: John Foxe’s “Godly” Magisterial Revisions to Acts and Monuments Second Edition (1570) Wesley Miles Goudy Doctor of Theology Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This project explores a new vision of the Protestant magistrate as represented in the alterations which John Foxe made to his Ecclesiastical History, in Acts and Monuments’ second edition (1570), a highly influential and controversial work which has been credited with shaping the course of English historiography from the Reformation to the Victorian era. The work has also been read in abridged form under the title Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. Foxe made incremental revisions to the work, which began as a 1554 Latin martyrology and ended in a fourth 1583 revision to this English-language ecclesiastical history, still known by the title Acts and Monuments. Yet relatively little scholarship has been devoted to explicating the nature and motivation for Foxe’s revisions, beyond his effort to provide literary and historical support for the English Reformation in the face of Roman Catholic opposition. The most significant revisions appear between the first and second editions of Acts and ii Monuments (1563, 1570), resulting in a textual expansion of some 500 pages.
