2006 No.19 EN N o 1 9 POSTULATION December 2006 SALVATORIAN PRESS Introduction he current issue of the Postulation Press has reached your hands on the 125th anniversary of the foundation of the Society of the TDivine Savior. The last year, which witnessed the first Salvatorian General Chapter in the New Millennium, was abundant in significant events concerning the Cause for Beatification of our Venerable Founder, the Servant of God Father Francis Mary of the Cross Jordan. The implications of the actions that were undertaken during that time have found their echo in the mate- rial published in the current issue. Among of the most significant events concerning the Beatification Process of our Founder was the completion of his biography (Vita docu- mentata), which is over 2600 pages long. This biography constitutes a part of the Positio, the documentation that is being prepared for the Holy See. On Father Jordan’s birthday, June 16, 2006, we gratefully put a copy of his biography - as our gift - on his tomb in the Motherhouse. We rejoice over the fact that on the 125th anniversary of the foundation of our religious institute we were able to have the entire Positio (4000 pages in 4 volumes) printed and to submit it to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. That event marked a very significant stage in the ongo- AN ing process of beatification in that, from now on, the procedures con- INFORMATION cerning the cause of Father Jordan rest in the hands of the Holy See. SERVICE The material included in the current issue of the Postulation Press comprises also information from the process on Father Jordan’s con- FOR tinuing reputation for holiness. The process in question was held by the THE Vicariate of Rome. On the following pages, you will also find informa- tion on the work of the historical commission appointed by the Vicariate CAUSE of Rome which confirmed the authenticity of the documents used in the OF preparation of the Positio. From the reports, you can also learn about the process, just started in Savannah (USA), concerning an alleged healing FATHER miracle through the intercession of Father Jordan. FRANCIS The included material additionally comprises profiles of the Founder MARY which, as always, can be helpful for use in particular provinces in order to make the person of the Servant of God Father Jordan more familiar OF to those with whom members of the Salvatorian Family happen to live THE and work. In the concluding part of the Postulation Press, we have briefly referred CROSS to the most significant visits made during the last year to Father Jordan’s tomb in our Motherhouse in Rome. Among them were: the visit of the JORDAN POSTULATION SALVATORIAN PRESS Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to the Holy Press into your particular languages.

  • Book IV – Function of the Church: Part I – the Sacraments
    The Sacraments The Catholic Church recognizes the existence of Seven Sacraments instituted by the Lord. They are: Sacraments of Christian Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist Sacraments of Healing: Penance (Reconciliation) and Anointing of the Sick Sacraments at the Service of Communion: Holy Orders and Matrimony Code of Cannon Law: Book IV - Function of the Church: Part I - The Sacraments The Sacraments (Code of Canon Law; Cann. 840-848) Can. 840 The sacraments of the New Testament were instituted by Christ the Lord and entrusted to the Church. As actions of Christ and the Church, they are signs and means which express and strengthen the faith, render worship to God, and effect the sanctification of humanity and thus contribute in the greatest way to establish, strengthen, and manifest ecclesiastical communion. Accordingly, in the celebration of the sacraments the sacred ministers and the other members of the Christian faithful must use the greatest veneration and necessary diligence. Can. 841 Since the sacraments are the same for the whole Church and belong to the divine deposit, it is only for the supreme authority of the Church to approve or define the requirements for their validity; it is for the same or another competent authority according to the norm of can. 838 §§3 and 4 (Can. 838 §3. It pertains to the conferences of bishops to prepare and publish, after the prior review of the Holy See, translations of liturgical books in vernacular languages, adapted appropriately within the limits defined in the liturgical books themselves. §4. Within the limits of his competence, it pertains to the diocesan bishop in the Church entrusted to him to issue liturgical norms which bind everyone.) to decide what pertains to their licit celebration, administration, and reception and to the order to be observed in their celebration.

  • Information for Religious Institute Members April 30, 2020
    CRAGC APRIL 30, 2020 INFORMATION FOR RELIGIOUS INSTITUTE MEMBERS [Website] CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCE AND NEEDS IN RELIGIOUS LIFE IN AUSTRALIA IN 2020 Catholic Religious Australia (CRA), a public juridic person, has resolved to accept responsibility to put in place appropriate governance and management initiatives for religious institutes moving towards completion. The proposal for CRA Council to be appointed to the role of Commissary is a response to current circumstances and trends within Religious life in Australia which need to be acknowledged, addressed and planned for. A Commissary is a Canonical Congregational Administrator, who performs the leadership functions for a Religious Institute that no longer has the members available or competent, to exercise leadership roles. The Commissary is appointed by an Ecclesial Authority, the Holy See in the case of a pontifical institute or the diocesan bishop in the case of a diocesan institute. In the recent past in Australia and overseas the role of commissary for religious institutes not able to provide their own leadership has been accepted by the leader of another institute. But the numbers of suitable religious to take the responsibility of Commissary are diminishing whilst the projected need will grow rapidly over the next 3 – 10 years. In 2019, almost three quarters of professed religious (72%) were 70 years or older, whilst Professed religious (2019) only 8% were under 50 years of age. 2000 1888 1800 1678 1600 In the 12 months from February 2019 to 1400 February 2020 the total professed religious have 1200 reduced in number from 5,680 to 5,409. 1000 856 800 527 Some Religious Institutes no longer have 600 Professed religious members who are suitable to constitute 400 210 255 96 170 Canonical leadership and many more expect to 200 0 be in this position within the next 3 to 10 years.

  • Letter from the Vatican: First Penance, First Communion
    LETTER FROM THE VATICAN: FIRST PENANCE, FIRST COMMUNION Children must receive the sacrament of penance before they receive their first communion, according to a letter sent to the world's bishops by the Vatican Congregations for the Sacraments and Divine Worship and for the Clergy. In the letter, dated March 31 but released May 19, the congregations say that in spite of a 1973 declaration on this matter, it is apparent that "dissension and doubts" still exist in some parts of the church regarding the order in which children are to receive these sacraments. Thus, they say, it is necessary to explain once again the "mind and force of this declaration," which states that the 1910 decree of Pope Pius X, "Quam Singulari," is the norm to be followed "everywhere and by all." Immediately below is the text of the letter. It is followed by a brief, formal reply to an inquiry from a religious institute - one of many such inquiries and requests the congregations have received, the letter states. Even though the declaration Sanctus Pontifex was published on May 24, 1973, by both the Sacred Congregations for the Discipline of the Sacraments and for the Clergy (cf. AAS 65, 1973, 410), nonetheless, in some parts of the church and in some catechetical centers, dissension and doubts still remain about the ecclesiastical discipline which regards children's receiving the sacrament of penance before they receive their first communion. Many inquiries and requests have come to this apostolic see from bishops, from priests, and from parents. An apostolic religious institute which exercises its ministry in many countries posed the question explicitly whether, after the promulgation of the declaration, it was allowed, "as a general rule," to receive first communion without previous confession in those parishes in which this had become common practice.

With this collection of fifteen elegant articles published between 1984 and 2008 by John O’Malley on the early history of the Society of Jesus Brill’s new series, ‘Jesuit Studies,’ could hardly have got off to a more propitious start. One of the main objectives of Saints or Devils Incarnate? is to dispel some of the myths with which the image of the Society has been tarnished over the centuries. The days when the Jesuits were regarded as devils incarnate are, at least where younger historians are concerned, happily over, but O’Malley still tackles a number of other misconceptions. Some of these are simply questions of ter- minology. In two of his articles he argues against the use of the terms ‘Counter- Reformation’ and ‘Catholic Reform,’ both of which have been applied to the Society of Jesus in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. He prefers the far less binding formula ‘Early Modern Catholicism.’ “It suggests,” he writes, “both change and continuity and leaves the chronological question open at both ends. It implicitly includes Catholic Reform, Counter-Reformation, and even Catholic Restoration as indispensable categories of analysis, while surren- dering the attempt to draw too firm a line of demarcation among them … Most important, it suggests that important influences on religious institutions and ‘mentalities’ were at work in ‘early modern

  • Constitutions of Discalced Carmelite Secular Order
    Constitutions of Discalced Carmelite Secular Order This is the text of the Constitutions approved by the General Definitory in March 2003 and presented to the General Chapter in Avila. This text was approved by the Holy See on June 16, 2003. Amendments III-B Fraternal Communion, 31a and 58j concerning St. Joseph were approved by the Holy See on January 7, 2014. Preface All are called to share, in charity, the holiness which belongs to God alone: “You must therefore be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt 5:48). Following Christ is the way to attain perfection, open to all by baptism. Through Baptism we take part in the triple mission of Jesus: kingly, priestly and prophetic. The first is a commitment to transforming the world according to God’s design. By the priestly mission, the baptized person offers self and the whole of creation to the Father with Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit. And as prophet, the bap- tized person announces God’s plan for human kind and denounces all that is contrary to it[1]. The great Teresian Carmelite family is present in the world in many forms. The nucleus of this family is the Order of Discalced Carmel- ites: the friars, the enclosed nuns, the seculars. It is the one Order with the same charism. The Order is nourished by the long tradition of Carmel, expressed in the Rule of Saint Albert and the doctrine of the Carmelite Doctors of the Church and the Order’s other saints. The present OCDS Constitutions are the fundamental law for its members, present in different regions of the world.
