  • ADORATION of the BLESSED SACRAMENT Is This Something New? Isn’T the Celebration of the Mass Enough?
    ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT Is this something new? Isn’t the celebration of the Mass enough? Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is not something new. It is a centuries-old practice rooted in an essential teaching of Catholic Christianity: Jesus Christ is truly and completely present in the Eucharist. Like many practices of our faith, however, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament developed gradually. In the earliest years of Christianity, consecrated bread would be brought home from the celebration of the Eucharist to be given to those not able to be present at the liturgy because of illness. It was also to be consumed by the faithful during the week to keep them connected to the Eucharist and the community they celebrated with. In about the fourth century monasteries began to reserve the Eucharist, and by the 11th century, reservation—still mainly for the sick and dying—was a regular feature of churches. While reverence was certainly given to Christ present in the sacrament, it was not yet customary to pray before the reserved sacrament. In the 11th century the French monk Berengar of Tours began to teach that the bread and wine in the celebration of the Eucharist could not change physically into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Pope Gregory VII demanded a retraction from Berengar saying that the body and blood of Christ were truly present in the Eucharist. This resulted in a refining of the church’s teaching on the real presence. In response, eucharistic devotion burst forth throughout Europe: processions, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, and other prayers focused on the reserved sacrament became part of Catholic life.

  • The Hussite Background to the Sixteenth-Century Eucharistic Controversy
    The Hussite Background to the Sixteenth-Century Eucharistic Controversy Amy Nelson Burnett (Nebraska, Lincoln) Historians outside of the Czech Republic generally ignore Hussite discus- sions of the Eucharist in the fifteenth century and their influence on early Protestantism.1 Studies of the development of Eucharistic theology and of church history usually begin with the early church, then jump to the debate provoked by Berengar of Tours in the eleventh century and the development of scholasticism in the thirteenth and fourteenth century, and finally describe the controversy over the sacrament that broke out in Germany in the mid- 1520s.2 When they do discuss the views of Wyclif and his Hussite successors, Protestant church historians have sometimes taken an oddly anachronistic approach by describing them in terms of the positions held by later theolo- gians.3 Not surprisingly, this has obscured rather than illuminated the Hussite contribution to the early Reformation discussion of the Eucharist. The focus of modern discussions on the central figures of Martin Luther and Huldrych Zwingli has also distorted our understanding of Hussite influences on the sixteenth-century debate. Luther’s connections with the Bohemians have been well studied, and it is clear that although the Wittenberg reformer was open to discussions with both Utraquists and 1 The major exception is the work of Erhard Peschke, Die Theologie der böhmischen Brüder in ihrer Frühzeit, 2 vv.

  • Continuing Groups 159 Divine Revelation
    Continuing Groups 159 divine revelation. The objective reality of the divine word is mediated through the subjective appropriation of this revelation by the believing community in the course of time. William McConville added to the picture of the Tübingen School in his essay, "Franz Anton Staudenmaier on Dogmatic Development." Staudenmaier (1800-1856) challenged not only Deism but also "supernaturalism." He maintained that "history is the form of revelation, and revelation is the content of history." In other words, the "divine idea" discloses itself in the drama of human affairs. To be concrete, although heresy is not necessary, it can be useful in bringing about a fuller understanding of God's self-communication. In his response to the three papers, Donald Dietrich called attention to the fact that the Tübingen theologians were broad-minded scholars who had entered into a dialogue with the thought of their day. By their lives and writings, they demonstrated that the answers of one age may not adequately address the questions of the next. Further, they themselves generated ideas that today require rethinking. For example, rejecting the "liberal" emphasis upon the autonomy of each person, they adopted the metaphor that human life is "organic," that is, that all aspects of life and all people are interconnected. Unfortunately, this idea, pushed to the extreme, was used to justify fascism in the twentieth century. The concluding discussion highlighted the intellectual vigor and courage of these theologians. We also noted that time had not permitted a presentation on another Tübingen scholar, Johann Baptist Hirscher (1788-1865). ROBERT A.

  • The Collections of Patristic Extracts That Are Frequently Found in Medieval
    The Constitution and Functions of Collections of Patristic Extracts: The example of the Eucharistie Controversy (9th-11th centuries) Stephane Gioanni The collections of patristic extracts that are frequently found in medieval manuscripts1 are one of the main modes of transmission of the Church Fathers2 in the Middle Ages: these collections ( called in tables of con­ tents florilegia, flores, analecta, col/ecta, compendia, dicta, sententiae and also miscellanea ...) deliberately bring tagether texts which are chrono­ logically, geographically, and generically diverse.3 But they are not sim­ ple receptacles: their organisation brought about connections, recon­ figurations and rewritings that had a decisive influence on the trans­ mission, perception and reception of the documents contained within them. Grouping them into collections responded to the desires of readers in a position to develop or modify them. These carefully composed miscel/anea came also to have a particular importance for the transmission of ancient texts because, on one hand, they demonstrated the auetoritos attributed to certain authors and, on the other hand, they I arn very gratefui to rnycolleague Robert jones for the insightful Supervision of this paper.

  • Renaissance and Reformation, 1970-72
    Ttie Ciceronian Program in Pulpit and in Literary Criticism Marshall McLuhan I Turning to the medieval and Renaissance sermon, one encounters a development of rhetori- cal theory and practice of major scope. The manifestations of rhetoric in secular literature are much smaller in comparison, even if the entire bulk of vernacular prose and poetry of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries be thrown into the scale. This is natural enough when one considers that formal composition required formal education, and that the great majority of people who received formal training were in holy orders. There is, however, no reason to draw a sharp line between sermon eloquence and secular eloquence. Even when their objectives differed sharply - which was not always - their methods were the same. The same rhetorical techniques of invention, arrangement, amplification, and elocution applied to sermon, epic, and pamphlet alike, ^ For this reason a rhetor like Donne could easily shift late in life from poetry to pulpit; and for the same reason Lyly and Nashe were eager auditors of Henry Smith. Approaching the Chrysostom of sixteenth century France, Michel Menot, whose sermon rhetoric is at once as medieval and as patristic as that of John Donne, Gilson says, 'Heureuse- ment, nulle époque ne fut plus consciente que le moyen âge des fins qu'elle poursuivait et des moyens requis pour les atteindre: .., et l'histoire littéraire aurait tout intérêt à chercher la clef de son art oratoire dans les Artes Praedicandi qu'il nous a laissés.'

  • WHAT SORT of NACHFOLGER of ZWINGLI WAS BULLINGER? Joe
    WTJ 82 (2020): 301–17 WHAT SORT OF NACHFOLGER OF ZWINGLI WAS BULLINGER? Joe Mock The secondary literature on Zurich theology often takes as its starting point the dependence of Heinrich Bullinger on the thought of Huldrych Zwingli. This is because Bullinger is regarded as Zwingli’s successor or Nachfolger, who closely followed and echoed Zwingli’s teaching. Further- more, “Zwinglianism” is often imprecisely equated with Zurich theology. This article examines those sections of Bullinger’s commentary on 1 Corinthians (1534) that discuss the Lord’s Supper. Bullinger does cite Zwingli’s Concerning the Protests of Eck (1530) and An Exposition of the Faith (1531) but none of the other works of Zwingli on the Lord’s Supper. Of particular note is Bullinger’s use of Ratramnus’s treatise on the Lord’s Supper (early 840s), which had influenced Berengar of Tours (c. 999– 1088). Although Zwingli did refer to the importance of 1 Cor 10:1–5 for understanding the Lord’s Supper it was Bullinger who, using Ratramnus’s treatise, made a more comprehensive study of this pericope to underscore feeding on Christ spiritually by the elect in the Lord’s Supper. Both Bullinger and Zwingli were trained in humanism, rhetoric, and the use of the biblical languages. Since both placed the utmost priority on correctly interpreting Scripture through judicial use of the tools they were trained and skilled in, it is not surprising that, unfettered by the tradition of the medieval church, they came, independently, to similar views of the Lord’s Supper. There were, of course, nuanced differences between their respective understandings of the Lord’s Supper.

  • Innocent III, the 1215 Canon and the Role of the Sacraments in Reforming the Catholic Church
    RECLAIMING THE FLOCK: INNOCENT III, THE 1215 CANON AND THE ROLE OF THE SACRAMENTS IN REFORMING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Kimberly Villarreal -Thaggard Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2013 APPROVED: Laura Stern, Major Professor Christopher Fuhrmann, Committee Member Walter Roberts, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Villarreal-Thaggard, Kimberly. Reclaiming the Flock: Innocent III, the 1215 Canon and the Role of the Sacraments in Reforming the Catholic Church. Master of Arts (History), December 2013, 95 pp., 10 figures, references, 100 titles. This thesis traces the changes in the sacraments of Baptism and the Eucharist from 400- 1215 and posits that Innocent III’s Fourth Lateran Council solidified and clarified these sacraments from diversified practices and customs to a single Catholic orthodoxy in order to reclaim centralized papal power to the Roman Catholic Church. Tracing the history of the Catholic Church’s baptismal and Eucharistic rites encounters a number of logistical obstacles because they were not administered by means of a Western Church-prescribed ritual until the early thirteenth century, primarily because such a prescription did not exist. Even after the First Council of Nicaea where Christian doctrine was better defined, an allowable margin of license remained within Latin orthodoxy, specifically when it came to the practice and administration of the sacraments. Before the establishment of a finite canon the sacramental procedures of the Western Church relied heavily on the local bishops and monks who openly adopted their own preferential liturgies and ritual practices.

  • Medieval Church Notes
    The Medieval Church Life in the Middle Ages Notes: Is it the “Dark Ages?” No. That is a pejorative term used by people in the Enlightenment to try to dismiss the entire Christian era. They claim that it is “dark” because it is in between the non-Christian (pagan) thinkers of Greece and the secular thinkers of the Enlightenment. Intellectual flourishing in the Medieval period. -You got the invention of the university -University of Bologna (1088 – Italy) -University of Oxford (1096 – England) -University of Salamanca (1134 – Spain) -University of Paris (1160 – France) -University of Cambridge (1209 – England) -You had incredible intellectual and artistic figures -Geoffrey Chaucer -Marco Polo -Anselm -Dante -Thomas Aquinas -Roger Bacon -Peter Abelard -Peter Lombard -William of Ockham -Albertus Magnus -Chrétien de Troyes -Geoffrey of Monmouth -John Duns Scotus -Et. Al. Church services in the Middle Ages -Churches were the hospitals and schools of the day. -You didn’t own a Bible. -The Bible was not translated into your native language. -You learned to memorize the Lord’s Prayer, the Ave Maria, and the Nicene Creed in Latin, but you didn’t really know what you were saying. -There was a huge emphasis on religious relics. Relics were holy objects thought to bring grace, because they were associated with a godly person. A relic might be something like the skull of John the Baptist, nails from the cross, a piece of the burning bush, drops of Christ’s blood, the spear that pierced Christ’s side, or even breastmilk from the Virgin Mary. -Most of the church service you’d kneel.
