  • The Rule of Ten Virtues of the B.V.M.” Historical Brief
    The Genesis of “The Rule of Ten Virtues of the B.V.M.” Historical Brief Br. Andrew R. Mączyński, MIC Author The Rule of the Ten Virtues of the Most B.V.M., or the Rule of the Ten Pleasures of the Most B.V.M. (Regula Decem Beneplacitorum Beatissimae Virginis Mariae), is one of the few religious rules approved in spite of the decree issued by the IV Lateran Council in 1215. This decree forbade the approval of the newly founded religious orders on any other than one of the previously approved rules. The Rule was composed by a Franciscan, Fr. Gilbert Nicolas, better known as Gabriel Maria, the name he received from Pope Leo X by his brief (breve) of June 11, 1517. By this act, the Pope wished to emphasize the special devotion that Fr. Gilbert had for the mystery of the Annunciation of the B.V.M. Gilbert Nicolas, who also appears in history under the name of Johanes Molezius, was born around 1460 in Riom in the Province of Auvergne, France. Influenced as a 16-year old youth by a sermon by a certain Franciscan preacher on the topic of the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M., he discerned his vocation to the religious life. In 1475, in Lafond, near La Rochelle, he joined the Franciscans of the Strict Observance. After completing his novitiate and pronouncing his religious vows, he was sent to the monastery in Amboise in order to continue his education that concluded at his priestly ordination and taking the post of a lector of theology.

    HISTORY OF THE FRANCISCAN MOVEMENT Volume 2 FROM THE YEAR 1517 TO THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL On-line course in Franciscan History at Washington Theological Union Washington DC By Noel Muscat OFM Jerusalem 2008 History of the Franciscan Movement. Volume 2: From 1517 to the Second Vatican Council Chapter 10 NEW REFORMS AND NEW DIVISIONS: THE BIRTH OF THE CAPUCHINS AND REFORMS WITHIN THE OBSERVANCE The friars “of the Holy Gospel” The Order of Friars Minor of the Regular Observance, after the union of all the reformed families in 1517, became a powerful religious family dedicated mainly to apostolic missions. A minority of friars, however, continued to insist upon living a simpler Franciscan life in the hermitages. Besides the Amadeiti and Coletani, there were other congregations which preferred eremitical life, like the Clareni and the friars “of the Holy Gospel” or Capuciati. This last religious family was one which the Bulla Ite vos of Leo X (1517) had not managed to integrate within the Order of the Friars Minor of the Regular Observance. They were born, as we have already seen, with the initiative of Juan de la Puebla, who had made an experience of Franciscan life in the Umbrian hermitages of central Italy, and then had returned to Spain, founding a congregation of friars who lived the literal observance of the Rule in the hermitages. Among his followers there was Juan de Guadalupe, who in 1508 obtained the approval of the Province “of the Holy Gospel”.1 The negative reaction of the Spanish Observants, who persecuted the new religious family, compelled the brothers of the Custody of Estremadura to place themselves under the obedience of the Conventuals in 1515, and thus became to be known by the name of “Reformed Conventuals”.2 They wore a short tunic with a pyramidal hood, and hence also the name Capuciati.

  • Guide to Further Reading
    22 Government, war and society in English Ireland, 1171–1541: a guide to recent work Peter Crooks Late medieval Ireland is a small but dynamic research area. The following is a selective guide designed to direct the reader to some of the more significant developments of recent years in subjects addressed by the Lecky professors in this volume. Where the Irish material is particularly exiguous, I have made some suggestions from the secondary literature further afield, which I hope may help stimulate comparative ideas on the Irish evidence.1 Bibliographies and guides to sources The essays printed in this volume represent merely a fraction of the published output of Curtis, Otway-Ruthven and Lydon. For comprehensive bibliographies of their work, see T.W. Moody, ‘The writings of Edmund Curtis’, IHS, 3:12 (1943); P.W.A. Asplin, ‘The writings of Prof. A.J. Otway-Ruthven to 1980’ in Lydon, Eng. & Ire.; P.W.A. Asplin, ‘Bibliography of J.F. Lydon [to 1993]’ in Colony and frontier. For general purposes, P.W.A. Asplin, Medieval Ireland, c. 1170–1485: a bibliography of secondary works (1971), with its excellent index, is a useful starting-point despite being over three decades old. Indeed, its value today lies chiefly in the fact that it reflects the fashions of a former era. It must, however, be read alongside the magnificent bibliography Asplin prepared for NHI, vol. 2, the second impression of which includes a supplement listing secondary works mostly published between 1986 1 Unless otherwise indicated, the place of publication is Dublin. 491 and 1993.

  • Considerations on the Capuchin Charism Paul Hanbridge, Nov 2011
    Considerations on the Capuchin Charism Paul Hanbridge, Nov 2011 INTRODUCTION In these considerations on Capuchin identity I wish to recall briefly some of the principles for the renewal of the religious life that emerged with Vatican II and subsequently. The documents also emphasise the importance within the Church of our fidelity to our charism. What will also emerge from these documents, I hope, is the important distinction between the charism of the founders and the charism of the institutes they founded, as well as the bond between the two. By taking a quick glance of two moments in the history of the Capuchin Order, I will attempt to demonstrate that the identity of the charism of our Order has never really been entirely fixed or static, but has evolved in response to needs and even crises within the Order. The various editions of the Constitutions over the centuries bear witness to that evolution in the Order’s interpretation of its charism. The identification of the Capuchin charism is a task for each generation as it struggles with the tension between fidelity to and continuity with Francis’ charism and the principles that guided the Capuchin Order in the beginning, and the need to adapt the application of those principles to the particular circumstances in which the Order finds itself. “Faithfulness to the past is the guarantee of the charism in the present, and is a challenge for the future.” 1 The assertion is not about nostalgia for the past and the ‘good old days’ with which to judge ourselves inferior to friars in the beginning.

The document, “Caritas in Veritate” (“Charity in Truth”) was dated June 29 and released at the Vatican on July 7. The truth that God is the creator of human life, that every life is sacred, that the Earth was given to humanity to use and protect, and that God has a plan for each person must be respected in development programs and in Pope Benedict XVI economic recovery efforts if they are to have real and lasting benefits, the pope said.
