Prohlašuji, že práce nebyla využita k získání jiného titulu. 3. Souhlasím s tím, aby práce byla zpřístupněna pro studijní a výzkumné účely. V Praze dne 25. 11. 2014 2 Bibliografická citace Dopady různosti obřadů v manželských kauzách na církevním soudu [rukopis]: disertační práce / Miloš Szabo; vedoucí práce: Antonín Hrdina. – Praha, 2014. – 187 s. (+ 74 s. příloha) Anotace Křesťanství se z Jeruzaléma šířilo několika směry. Jedno z jeho nejvlivnějších center vzniklo v Římě, jenž se stal také sídlem papežů a zůstal jím i po přesídlení císaře do tehdy řecké Konstantinopole. Kromě Říma, spjatého s apoštolem Petrem však existovaly i další velké křesťanské obce, založené ostatními apoštoly, ležící na východ od římské říše, které se stejně jako ta římská nazývaly církví. A tak i dnes kromě největší latinské (římské) církve existují desítky východních, právem se chlubících vlastní apoštolskou tradicí. V průběhu dějin došlo několikrát k narušení jejich komunikace s Římem, ale i mezi sebou navzájem. V dnešní době, kdy z různých důvodů dochází k velkým migračním vlnám, se některá církevní společenství, doposud považována striktně za východní, dostávají do diaspory s latinskou církví, čímž vzniká nejen velká pravděpodobnost růstu počtu smíšených intereklesiálních manželství, ale zároveň také zvýšené množství manželských kauz, které bude muset následně řešit církevní soud. Aby jeho rozhodnutí bylo spravedlivé, je potřebné znát jak historii těchto východních církví, mezi nimiž je i dvacet dva sjednocených s Římem (tedy východní katolické církve), tak i především jejich teologická specifika, spiritualitu a partikulární právo.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Gregory Peter XV Cardinal Agagianian is perhaps one of the best­ known of the non-American Cardinals. He has become familiar to Amer­ ican Catholic and non-Catholic readers because of the publicity given to his appointment to succeed Cardinal Stritch as Pro-prefect of the Sacred Congregation of the Faith in June, 1958. At this time and during the period following the death of the late Pius XII, he was considered by many observers as one of the most likely "candidates" for the Papacy. His two trips to the United States in 1954 and in May of this past year have served to bring him to the attention of the American public. Born in the Russian Caucasus sixty-five years ago, Cardinal Agagianian grew up in what is now Russian Georgia.

  • Statistical Analysis Marriage Nullity Cases in the United States of America from 2016-2018
    Statistical Analysis Marriage Nullity Cases in the United States of America from 2016-2018 Introduction Over three years have passed since the reform of the process for the declaration of the nullity of marriage legislated by the Motu proprio Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus and Mitis et misericors Iesus has gone into effect. Due to the novelty of the Processus brevior coram Episcopo, there is much interest in the way it is being used. Several have already produced statistical studies. There are the two studies for the Ibero- American tribunals.1 In addition, the Canon Law Society of Great Britain and Ireland published in its 2019 Newsletter a statistical analysis for Tribunal activity in 2017.2 There is also the periodical Proceedings of the Canon Law Society of America, which began in 2017 to published the statistics for the briefer process.3 Scope and Method The present study seeks to analyze the statistics regarding the first instance activity of ecclesiastical Tribunals in the United States of America from 2016 through 2018. While some of above-mentioned studies relied heavily on reports of the Central Office of Statistics of the Church, the raw data for this study was gathered exclusively from the Annual Reports on the State and Activity of the Tribunal submitted to the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura. 4 Certainly this choice placed some limitations on the data intake; however, the report provides a unique data set including the number of appeals lodged by the defender of the bond. Throughout the study, several abbreviations are used: PB, processus brevior coram Episcopo PO, processus ordinarius DV, defensor vinculi 1 Cf.

  • Charity, Patience and Tenderness Are Very Beautiful Gifts. If You Have Them, You Want to Share Them with Others
    GIFT of TIME Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others. - Pope Francis ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT GIFT of TIME Caritas Australia The Catholic Agency for International Aid and Development Dorothy is a long-time supporter of Caritas Australia. Inspired by her faith and passion for social justice, Dorothy speaks about why she has decided to place Caritas in her Will. I first learned about Caritas when I was a child at school and vividly recall collecting coins for the Project Compassion Box. Giving to Caritas Australia has made me a much Photo: Sudan, Caritas Internationalis happier person. I feel empowered, knowing that we’re doing something for the most marginalised. The sense of concern that I sometimes feel thinking “Giving to Caritas about the poverty and suffering in the world today, has been taken away by knowing where my money is going Australia has made me a and that it’s going to a good cause. The last time I get to speak to people most important in much happier person” my life will be through my Will. I have great faith in Caritas Australia’s ability to end poverty and uphold people’s dignity. Caritas doesn’t tell its partners what to do but walks alongside them. There are so many charities out there, but I know that with Caritas, I’m giving in the right way, to a place that has good governance, a good development approach and spends minimally on administration. I can recommend Caritas wholeheartedly. 2 The Catholic Weekly GIFT of TIME 2020-2021 Leaving a Legacy of Love.

  • "I Want to Serve the Order in Continuity with My Predecessor"
    "I want to serve the Order in continuity with my predecessor" Exclusive interview with Ambassador Leonardo Visconti of Modrone, the new Governor General of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem Excellency, as you settle into the role of Governor General of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre, what are you innermost sentiments? I have some trepidation, being well aware that this is a very important office within the Church in the service of our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land. Professor Agostino Borromeo has devoted his professional life to the history of the Church and has always viewed his commitment to the Order as an ecclesial mission, so he was very well suited to taking on the responsibility of the Governorship for two terms. We must pay homage to him as he leaves a healthy legacy: we have never had so many members and so many donations. My experience is very different, as I have served my country in the diplomatic service as an ambassador and this has allowed me to establish many important international relations. I trust that this will be useful to our pontifical institution which is universal in dimension. However, I still have a lot to learn from my consoeurs and my confrères, Dames and Knights all over the world, and I count on Agostino Borromeo to accompany me, especially in the first phase of my four-year term. I want to serve the Order in continuity with my predecessor. You mentioned your diplomatic experience. In what way would you see it as being valuable to exercising your new role, alongside the Grand Master, at the head of the Order? Lieutenancies and Magistral Delegations that structure the life of the Order on all continents are somewhat equivalent to embassies for a government.

  • Eastern Rite Catholicism
    Eastern Rite Catholicism Religious Practices Religious Items Requirements for Membership Medical Prohibitions Dietary Standards Burial Rituals Sacred Writings Organizational Structure History Theology RELIGIOUS PRACTICES Required Daily Observances. None. However, daily personal prayer is highly recommended. Required Weekly Observances. Participation in the Divine Liturgy (Mass) is required. If the Divine Liturgy is not available, participation in the Latin Rite Mass fulfills the requirement. Required Occasional Observances. The Eastern Rites follow a liturgical calendar, as does the Latin Rite. However, there are significant differences. The Eastern Rites still follow the Julian Calendar, which now has a difference of about 13 days – thus, major feasts fall about 13 days after they do in the West. This could be a point of contention for Eastern Rite inmates practicing Western Rite liturgies. Sensitivity should be maintained by possibly incorporating special prayer on Eastern Rite Holy days into the Mass. Each liturgical season has a focus; i.e., Christmas (Incarnation), Lent (Human Mortality), Easter (Salvation). Be mindful that some very important seasons do not match Western practices; i.e., Christmas and Holy Week. Holy Days. There are about 28 holy days in the Eastern Rites. However, only some require attendance at the Divine Liturgy. In the Byzantine Rite, those requiring attendance are: Epiphany, Ascension, St. Peter and Paul, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Christmas. Of the other 15 solemn and seven simple holy days, attendance is not mandatory but recommended. (1 of 5) In the Ukrainian Rites, the following are obligatory feasts: Circumcision, Easter, Dormition of Mary, Epiphany, Ascension, Immaculate Conception, Annunciation, Pentecost, and Christmas.
