The community of all baptized persons acknowledges the divinity of Christ and lives in a way that conforms to the teachings of God for the good of all people. In 1947, Pope Pius XII stated the matter of Holy Orders was to be understood as the bishop’s imposition of hands over the priest – thus signifying clearly that ordination was the consecration of the whole person for a life of holiness and service to the Church, and not simply the assigning of and empowering for specific sacramental duties. “The divinely instituted ecclesiastical ministry is exercised in different degrees by those who even from ancient times have been called bishops, priests, and deacons.” Lumen Gentium states the three degrees are: episcopate, presbyterate and deaconate. These degrees are exercised by bishops, priests and deacons. (#32 ) St. Ignatius of Antioch said, Let everyone revere the deacons as Jesus Christ, the bishop as the image of the Father, and the presbyters as the senate of God, and the assembly of the apostles. For without them one cannot speak of the Church. Episcopate: Fullness of the Sacrament of Holy Orders The bishops receive the fullness of the sacrament of Holy Orders, which integrates them into the Episcopal college and makes them the visible heads of the particular churches entrusted to them. As successors of the apostles and members of the college, the bishops share in the apostolic responsibility and mission of the whole Church under the authority of the Pope, successor of St. Peter. (CCC1594) By virtue of Episcopal consecration, the bishops share in the sanctifying, teaching and ruling offices of the Church. In an eminent and visible manner, the bishops take the place of Christ himself, teacher and shepherd, and act as Christ’s representative. (CCC1558) Presbyterate: Ordained Co-Workers of the Episcopate The priest represents Christ to the community by his presence and his actions. He also presents the community to Christ expressing their wants, sufferings, needs and desires. The ministerial priest, by the sacred power that he has, forms and rules the priestly people; in the person of Christ he effects the Eucharistic sacrifice and offers it to God in the name of all the people (Lumen Gentium #10) Diaconate: Service Conferred by a Sacramental Act of Ordination Deacons share in Christ’s mission and grace in a special way. The Sacrament of Holy Orders marks them with an imprint (character) which cannot be removed and which configures them to Christ, who makes himself the “deacon” or servant of all. Among other tasks, it is the task of deacons to assist the bishop and priests in the celebration of the divine mysteries, above all the Eucharist, in the distribution of Holy Communion, in assisting at the blessing marriages, in the proclamation of the Gospel and preaching, in presiding over funerals, and in dedicating themselves to the various ministries of charity. (CCC1570) The Nature and Role of the Bishop There is a rather ancient theological adage: Lex orandi, lex credendi (the law of prayer is the law of belief.) This understanding is an appropriate starting point for considering the nature and role of the bishop in the Church. The actual rite for the ordination of a bishop contained in the Roman Pontifical is instructive in this regard. The nature of the Episcopal office is rather wonderfully expressed in the sample homily-instruction for the ordination of a bishop. There it notes that the principal consecrator addresses the bishop- elect in these words: You, dear brother, have been chosen by the Lord. Remember that you are chosen from among men and appointed to act for men and women in relation to God. The title of bishop is not one of honor but of function, and therefore a bishop should strive to serve rather than rule. Such is the counsel of the Master: the greater should behave as if he were the least, and the leader as if her were the one who serves. Among other things, the Trinitarian nature of the Episcopal ministry is the personification of the Father in the church and a sign of Christ as shepherd, teacher, priest and as a vehicle of the Holy Spirit who gives life to the Church and supports it even in its weakness. By definition, a bishop is one who enjoys “the fullness of the sacrament of order” (Decree on the Bishops’ Pastoral Office in the Church, 15) and the office of bishop is the primary pastoral office of the local Church, the diocese. The role of the bishop is a series of dynamic interrelationships. On the one hand, the bishop has the pastoral care of the particular church entrusted to him, while, at the same time, he is responsible with the other bishops for the apostolic mission of the Church (CCC1560). The bishop is both the sign of unity within a diocese as well as a minister of unity between the local church and the universal church under the authority of the Pope, successor of St. Peter. The Eucharist, celebrated by the bishop, witnesses, in a most significant way, to the Church gathered around the altar, with the one who represent Christ, the Good Shepherd and Head of his Church (CCC1561). As authentic teachers of the apostolic faith, the bishops echo the faith. As chief catechist in the diocese, the bishop is responsible for the total catechetical mission of the local church. All members of the community share the duty to bear witness to the faith. However, the bishop is assisted in his catechetical responsibilities by his diocesan staff, priests, deacons, religious and laity. Collaboration among the different roles allows for catechesis to be accomplished in an effective manner (NDC p. 218). The new bishop is solemnly received in the diocesan church by the people and the clergy of the local church within a Eucharistic celebration at which the new bishop presides for the first time with the priests and the deacons, as well as with the people of the diocese. The structure of the liturgy follows: Introductory Rites Reading of Apostolic Letter Greeting of the Bishop Celebration of Mass The bishop of the diocese is the heart of the mission of Jesus Christ. His is a dynamic and mutual relationship with all people. The leadership he offers is one of love, courage and eagerness for the spread of the Gospel. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DIOCESE OF WILMINGTON It might be considered that the Diocese of Wilmington had its origin in the landing party from the Ark and Dove, which came ashore at St. Clements, now known as Blakiston Island on March 25, 1634. Of the 20 Catholic gentlemen and several hundred indentured servants, there were two Jesuit priests, John Altham and Andrew White, as well as a lay brother, Thomas Gervase. After landing, the group gathered to celebrate a Thanksgiving liturgy. They quickly established a mission at the tip of Kent Island to service the group of people who had come from across the waters. Within a year the founding priest died and this early mission was then serviced by the Jesuit priests from the western shore of Maryland. Between the years of 1634 and 1866, the area that would become known as the Diocese of Wilmington was serviced by Jesuits from Maryland and Pennsylvania. A strong nucleus of a Catholic presence developed at the head of the Little Bohemian River and this became the first permanent parish (St. Francis Xavier, Old Bohemia) in what would be the future Diocese of Wilmington. From this site priests traveled to care for the various Catholics in settlements in New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties. In 1772 the Jesuit community purchased a 200 acre farm in Mill Creek 100, near the stream of Coffee Run. This track of land is presently located on Lancaster Pike. Sometime between the years of 1785 and 1790, St. Mary of the Assumption at Coffee Run was erected. This log cabin chapel became the nucleus of the Catholic celebration in the area. As the years went on, the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 were fought and the country settled into the onslaught of the Civil War. All during this time people were coming from Western Europe to seek freedom and a better way of living. Finally, at the second Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1866, the American Bishops asked the Holy See to make a diocese of the Delmarva Peninsula. The Holy See responded on March 3, 1868, by creating a diocese comprised of the state of Delaware (from the Diocese of Philadelphia), and nine counties of Maryland and 2 in Virginia, east of the Chesapeake Bay. At its creation, the Diocese was approximately 6,211 square miles but only had a total Catholic population of 5,000, with 3,000 in the area of the cities of Wilmington and New Castle. The other 2,000 Catholics were scattered in small congregations mostly along the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where many of their forebears had continued to practice the faith after landing in the colony of Maryland.

  • How to Address Priests and Religious: Titles and Signs of Respect

    How to Address Priests and Religious: Titles and Signs of Respect

    How to Address Priests and Religious: Titles and Signs of Respect Marian Therese Horvat, Ph.D. Before me are several interesting questions on how we should address priests and religious men and women sent to my desk recently by a lady. I will answer them today on the TIA website, since I think that my correspondent is not the only one with similar queries. In times past every Catholic used to know some of the simple rules that have been set aside from disuse. The general protocol was taught by sisters in grade school, but more often was learned as in osmosis from everyday practice. No one dreamed of calling Father O’Reilly by the nickname “Bill,” or, addressing Sister Margaret Mary as “Maggie.” Everyone knew you rose as a sign of respect when a priest or religious entered the room. Speaking before a gathering that included clergy or religious, a Catholic speaker as habit addressed them solemnly first. The dignified sisters inspired respect. Above, a sister teaches protocol in a pre-Vatican II Catholic classroom. But then came the tumultuous and leveling aftermath of Vatican II that spelled a death to formalities in the religious sphere. Priests, monks and sisters began to adopt the ways of a world that were becoming increasingly vulgar and egalitarian. Distinguishing titles and marks of respect were considered alienating and only for old- fashioned “establishment” people who were afraid to embrace the “signs of the times.” In the spirit of adaptation to the world, the cassock and habit were abandoned, along with the formal signs of respect paid to the persons who wore them.

    SACRAMENTO DIOCESAN ARCHIVES Vol 2 Fr John E Boll, Diocesan Archivist No 50 CARDINAL JAMES FRANCIS McINTYRE, THE WEST’S FIRST CARDINAL ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT Printed in the January 22, 1970 issue of the Catholic Herald Photo by Corbis.com Cardinal James McIntyre, Archbishop of Los Angeles James Francis Cardinal McIntyre, archbishop of Los Angeles since 1948, who is known as the archconservative of the American hierarchy, has retired according to an announcement made by the Vatican on Wednesday. Pope Paul VI accepted the resignation of the 83 year-old cardinal for reasons of age. The cardinal had served his archdiocese for eight years longer than the recommended retirement age of 75 which had been fixed by Pope Paul VI. Vatican sources announced that automatically succeeding Cardinal McIntyre as archbishop of Los Angeles, one of the largest jurisdictions in the United States, is Archbishop Timothy Manning, formerly bishop of Fresno and now coadjutor bishop in Los Angeles with the right of succession. Frequently involved in headline making disputes with clergy and religious of a liberal bent, the cardinal is praised by Catholics of many viewpoints for his consistent endeavors to raise the standard of Catholic education in his archdiocese. A native of New York, Cardinal McIntyre, who will remain a member of the College of Cardinals, will be 84 on June 25. He was named archbishop of Los Angeles in 1948 and was made a cardinal by Pope Pius XII in 1953. Cardinal McIntyre has been one of the leading conservatives in the American church, a stance which often led to controversy with liberal elements of his archdiocese.
