    NOT IN OUR NAME We are morally opposed to the plans of the Bush administration to launch a war against Iraq. 'THE THREAT coming from Washington is something that is simply unthinkable. There is no war, least of all today and least of all in the Middle East, that can resolve something.' Cardinal Roger Etchegaray The Holy See 'AS AN ESSENTIAL PART of its fight against terrorism, the international community is called to undertake new and creative political, diplomatic, and economic initiatives aimed at relieving the scandalous situations of gross injustice.' Pope John Paul II 'WAR AGAINST IRAQ could have unpredictable consequences not only for Iraq, but for peace and stability elsewhere in the Middle East. Use of massive military force to remove the current government of Iraq could have incalculable consequences for a civilian population that has suffered so much from war, repression, and a debilitating embargo. We respectfully urge you to step back from the brink of war.'

  • The Ordination of Women in the Early Middle Ages
    Theological Studies 61 (2000) THE ORDINATION OF WOMEN IN THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES GARY MACY [The author analyzes a number of references to the ordination of women in the early Middle Ages in light of the meaning given to ordination at that time and in the context of the ministries of early medieval women. The changing definition of ordination in the twelfth century is then assessed in view of contemporary shifts in the understanding of the sacraments. Finally, a brief commentary is presented on the historical and theological significance of this ma- terial.] N HER PROVOCATIVE WORK, The Lady was a Bishop, Joan Morris argued I that the great mitered abbesses of the Middle Ages were treated as equivalent to bishops. In partial support of her contention, she quoted a capitulum from the Mozarabic Liber ordinum that reads “Ordo ad ordin- andam abbatissam.”1 Despite this intriguing find, there seems to have been no further research into the ordination of women in the early Middle Ages. A survey of early medieval documents demonstrates, however, how wide- spread was the use of the terms ordinatio, ordinare, and ordo in regard to the commissioning of women’s ministries during that era. The terms are used not only to describe the installation of abbesses, as Morris noted, but also in regard to deaconesses and to holy women, that is, virgins, widows, GARY MACY is professor in the department of theology and religious studies at the University of San Diego, California. He received his Ph.D. in 1978 from the University of Cambridge. Besides a history of the Eucharist entitled The Banquet’s Wisdom: A Short History of the Theologies of the Lord’s Supper (Paulist, 1992), he recently published Treasures from the Storehouse: Essays on the Medieval Eucharist (Liturgical, 1999).

  • Novel 123. Concerning Various Ecclesiastical Topics. (De Diversis
    Novel 123. Concerning various ecclesiastical topics. (De diversis capitibus ecclesiasticis.) __________________________ The same Augustus (Justinian) to Peter, glorious Master of Offices. Preface. We have heretofore made some provisions about the administration and privileges and other subjects relating to the holy churches and other venerable houses. In the present law we have decided to embrace, with proper correction, those provisions which were previously enacted in various constitutions about the reverend bishops and clergymen and monks. c. 1. We therefore ordain, that whenever it is necessary to elect a bishop, the clergymen and primates of the city in which a bishop is to be elected shall make a nominating statement as to three persons, in the presence of the holy testament and at the peril of their souls, and each of them shall swear by the holy testament, and shall write stating that they have made the selection through no bribe, promise, friendship or other reason, but because they know the nominees to be of the true catholic faith, of an honorable life more than 30 years old and men of learning, having to their knowledge neither a wife nor children, nor having or having had a concubine, or natural children; and if either of them formerly had a wife that she was the only one, the first one, not a widow nor separated from her husband, nor one with whom marriage was prohibited by the laws or the sacred canons; that they know him not to be a curial or provincial apparitor, or if he has been subject to the condition of either, that they know him to have lived a monastic life in a monastery not less than 15 years.

  • Islam in Europe
    The Way, 41.2 (2001), 122-135. www.theway.org.uk 122 Islam in Europe Anthony O'Mahony SLAM PRESENTS TWO DISTINCT FACES to Europe, the one a threat, the I other that of an itinerant culture. However viewed, the history of the relationship between Islam and Europe is problematic and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. The relationship between Christians and Muslims over the centuries has been long and tortuous. Geographically the origins of the two communities are not so far apart - Bethlehem and Jerusalem are only some eight hundred miles from Mecca. But as the two communities have grown and become universal rather than local, the relationship between them has changed - sometimes downright enmity, sometimes rivalry and competition, sometimes co-operation and collaboration. Different regions of the world in different centuries have therefore witnessed a whole range of encounters between Christians and Muslims. The historical study of the relationship is still in its begin- nings. It cannot be otherwise, since Islamic history, as well as the history of those Christian communities that have been in contact with Islam, is still being written. Obviously Christian-Muslim relations do not exist in a vacuum. The two worlds have known violent confrontation: Muslim conquests of Christian parts of the world; the Crusades still vividly remembered today; the expansion of the Turkish Ottoman Empire; the Armenian massacres and genocide; European colonialism of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; the rise of Christian missions; the continuing difficult situations in which Christians find themselves in dominant Muslim societies, such as Sudan, Indonesia, Pakistan.

    The Relationship between Bishops, Synods, and the Metropolitan-Bishop in the Orthodox Canonical Tradition Alexander Rentel Beginning with St. Basil the Great, Orthodox canonists maintain an eye both on the canons themselves and the practice of the Church. St. Basil said towards the end of his Third Canon that it is necessary “to know those things according to the strict rule and those things that are customary.” This two-fold task of a canonist reflects the nature of the canons themselves, which are literary expressions of what the Church considers to be normative. Various Church councils and fathers drafted the canons, which now form the corpus canonum, during the first millennium. The canons however are theological responses to particular problems and in no way comprehensively describe all aspects of Church life. The life of the Church was and is much more extensive. Consequently the vast reservoir of experience that the Church has needs to factor into any canonical activity. Since the canons are fixed points of reference through their acceptance, they provide the starting point for canonical work. And, as with any text of late antiquity, they require careful reading and explanation. Additionally, because they emerge from within the Church (fathers, councils, etc.), they take their full meaning for the Church only when considered in a broad ecclesial context. All of the tools, the material, and the methods a canonist has at hand are formed and forged by the Church. In this way, the canons are understood as theological formulations and the canonist finds his work as a theologian. This essay has as its subject the age-old question of primacy in the Church.
