May 23, 2021 Roads of West Virginia, the City of Wheeling Could Not Make a Sation 23 May 2021 PENTECOST SUNDAY Vol. 10, No. 25 Weekly Bulletin for the Cathedral of St. Joseph, Wheeling, West Virginia In this Issue: From the Vice-Rector 2 Pentecost Vespers 4 Tour Guide Ministry 4 Month of Our Lady 5 Saint Joseph Cathedral Parish is called to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ as a community. We are committed: to our urban neighborhoods, to being the Cathedral of the Diocese, and to fellowship, formation, sacrament, and prayer. Dear Parishioners of the Cathedral Parish, Last week in the bulletin we ran a little article From the Desk on the meaning of the letters that professed of the Vice-Rector religious have after their names and a list of Rev. Martin J. Smay some of the post-nominal letters which indi- cate a person’s particular religious order (it is on page 7 of last week’s bulletin). It was kindly brought to my atten- This Week tion that there was a major omission: the Congregation of Saint Joseph May 23 - 30, 2021 (whose post-nominal is CSJ). Truly this is an omission as these good women have been serving Wheeling and this Diocese since the very early days of the existence of the Diocese of Wheeling. Shortly after the founding of the Diocese, Bishop Whelan, the first bishop of the Diocese, established Wheeling Hospital. Within three years, the Sisters SUN Pentecost Sunday 23 of Saint Joseph (now Congregation of Saint Joseph) came to Wheeling, 6:00 pm (Sat) Mass for Regina LaFlam Virginia to take charge of the Hospital.

As I mentioned last week, the Natural Moral Law can be FRI Weekday in Ordinary Time (Week 8) 28 aptly defined as “the rule of conduct which is prescribed to us by the 11:15 am Confessions Creator in the constitution of the nature with which He has endowed 12:05 pm Mass for Dave Wiethe us” (this definition was taken from the article titled Natural Law in the old Catholic Encyclopedia). While the Natural Moral Law is an impor- tant concept in Catholic theology, the idea itself dates back well before the time of Christ and, in its essentials, is found in the ancient pre-Chris- SAT Saint Paul VI; tian philosophers and thinkers, especially Plato and Aristotle and their 29 Optional Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary discussion of what the nature of a thing is. Cicero appeals to the Natu- ral Moral Law in his oration Pro Milone where he says, “This is a law not 9:00 am Mass for Ken Shores written, but born with us,—which we have not learnt or received by 5:00 pm Confessions tradition, or read, but which we have taken and sucked in and imbibed 6:00 pm Mass for Norma Paytash from nature herself; a law which we were not taught but to which we were made,—which we were not trained in, but which is ingrained in us ,—namely, that if our life be in danger from plots, or from open SUN Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity violence, or from the weapons of robbers or enemies, every means of 30 securing our safety is honourable” (Chapter 4). 8:00 am Mass for William Campbell 10:30 am Mass for the Parishioners The Natural Moral Law is from the Creator and God of the universe. He is the Lawmaker. This means that any laws which are made by lesser lawmakers cannot contradict the law which God has established. This authority structure is actually built directly into the psyche of the vvvvv human person (by God) and indeed all rational creatures. We under- stand intuitively that if the State of West Virginia says that all vehicles of residents must pass an inspection in order to be operated on the public 2 The Cathedral Courier May 23, 2021 roads of West Virginia, the City of Wheeling could not make a sation. It is inconsistent with the principles of reason, justice, law saying that it is illegal for a car to have such an inspection. and moral rectitude.” This is nothing other than an appeal to No lower power can make a law which contradicts the law of a the Natural Moral Law right to private property which had been higher power. Thus, if the City of Wheeling were to make that a explicitly taught at least as far back as Saint Thomas Aquinas law, we could safely ignore it, because that law would contradict and is implicitly taught by Sacred Scripture. This Natural Moral the law of a higher authority, namely the State.

  • The Archconfraternity of the Most Precious Blood
    The Archconfraternity of the Most Precious Blood By Francesco Bartoloni, cpps I should like to begin by noting that in preparing this presentation I have relied heavily on Michele Colagiovanni’s, Il Padre Segreto, Vita di Monsignore Francesco Albertini, especially chapters 10, 11, 12, and 18, and an article by Mario Dariozzi, cpps, “L’Arciconfraternità del Preziossissimo Sangue in San Nicola in Carcere Tulliano.” (See the end of the article for full references.) The Enciclopedia Cattolica defines a confraternity as an ecclesiastical corporation, composed primarily of the laity, canonically erected and governed by a competent superior, with the aim of promoting the Christian faith by means of special good works directed to divine worship or to charity to one’s neighbor. Often worship and charity are associated aims in the statutes of confraternities. Thus conceived, they are genuine and stable ecclesiastical foundations with their own organization, capable of having their own statutes, etc. According to the Code of Canon Law of 1917, confraternities are not to be confused with: 1. those institutes that have the title of “pious causes” (hospitality, recovery houses, orphanages, etc.) which have a more complex aim; 2. pious unions that exist for a particular occasion, held together by the will of their members, which go out of existence when there are no more members; 3. secular third orders that are closely linked with the religious order from which they derive their name; 4. associations of the arts and of craftsmen which have an aim that is primarily economic, even if they place themselves under the protection of a saint.

TimOTHY PHIUnPps* I. INTRODUCTION In 1977 the Internal Revenue Service (IRS or Service) issued a revenue ruling' that drastically changed its position concerning the imposition of federal income tax on members of traditional bona fide religious orders who have taken a vow of poverty. Under these vows a member of the order renounces all wealth and promises to give any income to the religious order. The position taken in the ruling (and maintained by the IRS in subsequent litigation) is essentially two-fold.

  • American Jesuits and the World: How an Embattled Religious Order Made
    INTRODUCTION I do not like the late Resurrection of the Jesuits. They have a Gen- eral, now in Russia, in correspondence with the Jesuits in the U.S. who are more numerous than every body knows. Shall we not have Swarms of them here? . If ever any Congregation of Men could merit, eternal Perdition on Earth and in Hell . it is this Company of Loiola. Our System however of Religious Liberty must afford them an Asylum. But if they do not put the Purity of our Elections to a severe Tryal, it will be a Wonder. — John AdAms to thomAs Jefferson, mAy 6, 1816 I dislike, with you, their restoration; because it marks a retrograde step from light toward darkness. —­ThomAs Jefferson to John AdAms, August 1, 1816 This Society has been a greater Calamity to Mankind than the French Revolution or Napoleon’s Despotism or Ideology. It has obstructed the Progress of Reformation and the Improvement of the human mind in society much longer and more fatally. — John AdAms to thomAs Jefferson, november 4, 1816 I The suppression of the Jesuits (or Society of Jesus) in 1773 by Pope Clement XIV does not appear in US history textbooks. It is a puzzling event, with Catholic monarchs pressuring the pope to abolish a religious order perceived as excessively loyal to the papacy. Forty- one years later another pope, Pius VII, reversed course and restored the Jesuits, provoking an anxious exchange between two provincial Enlightenment intellectuals (and former US presidents).

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OAR@UM Emanuel Buttigieg THE SOVEREIGN MILITARY HOSPITALLER ORDER OF ST. JOHN OF JERUSALEM OF RHODES AND OF MALTA – A GENERAL HISTORY OF THE ORDER OF MALTA INTRODUCTION: HOSPITALLERS Following thirteen years of excavation by the Israel Antiquities Authority, a thousand-year-old structure – once a hospital in Jerusalem – will be open to the public; part of it seems earmarked to serve as a restaurant. 1 In Syria, as the civil war rages on, reports and footage have been emerging of explosions in and around Crac des Chevaliers castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site. 2 During the interwar period (1923–1943), the Italian colonial authorities in the Dodecanese engaged in a wide-ranging series of projects to restore – and in some instances redesign – several buildings on Rhodes, in an attempt to recreate the late medieval/Renaissance lore of the island. 3 Between 2008 and 2013, the European Regional Development Fund provided the financial support necessary for Malta to undertake a large-scale restoration of several kilometres of fortifications, with the aim of not only preserving these structures but also enhancing Malta’s economic and social well- -being.4 Since 1999, the Sainte Fleur Pavilion in the Antananarivo University Hospital Centre in Madagascar has been helping mothers to give birth safely and assisting infants through care and research. 5 What binds together these seemingly disparate, geographically-scattered buildings, all with their stories of hope and despair? All of them – a hospital in Jerusalem, a castle in Syria, structures on Rhodes, fortifications on Malta, and yet another hospital, this time in Madagascar – attest to the constant (but evolving) mission of the Order of Malta “to Serve the Poor and Defend the Faith” over several centuries.

  • Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72
    º Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72 º PREFACE Knights come in many historical forms besides the traditional Knight in shining armor such as the legend of King Arthur invokes. There are the Samurai, the Mongol, the Moors, the Normans, the Templars, the Hospitaliers, the Saracens, the Teutonic, the Lakota, the Centurions just to name a very few. Likewise today the Modern Knight comes from a great variety of Cultures, Professions and Faiths. A knight was a "gentleman soldier or member of the warrior class of the Middle Ages in Europe. In other Indo-European languages, cognates of cavalier or rider French chevalier and German Ritter) suggesting a connection to the knight's mode of transport. Since antiquity a position of honor and prestige has been held by mounted warriors such as the Greek hippeus and the Roman eques, and knighthood in the Middle Ages was inextricably linked with horsemanship. Some orders of knighthood, such as the Knights Templar, have themselves become the stuff of legend; others have disappeared into obscurity. Today, a number of orders of knighthood continue to exist in several countries, such as the English Order of the Garter, the Swedish Royal Order of the Seraphim, and the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav. Each of these orders has its own criteria for eligibility, but knighthood is generally granted by a head of state to selected persons to recognize some meritorious achievement. In the Legion of Honor, democracy became a part of the new chivalry. No longer was this limited to men of noble birth, as in the past, who received favors from their king.

  • Glossary of Catholic and Norbertine Terms from Abbey to Xanten a Glossary of Catholic and Norbertine Terms
    From Abbey to Xanten A Glossary of Catholic and Norbertine Terms From Abbey to Xanten A Glossary of Catholic and Norbertine Terms As part of our mission at St. Norbert College, we value the importance of communio, a centuries-old charism of the Order of Premonstratensians (more commonly known as the Norbertines). Communio is characterized by mutual esteem, trust, sincerity, faith and responsibility, and is lived through open dialogue, communication, consultation and collaboration. In order for everyone to effectively engage in this ongoing dialogue, it is important that we share some of the same vocabulary and understand the concepts that shape our values as an institution. Because the college community is composed of people from diverse faith traditions and spiritual perspectives, this glossary explains a number of terms and concepts from the Catholic and Norbertine traditions with which some may not be familiar. We offer it as a guide to help people avoid those awkward moments one can experience when entering a new community – a place where people can sometimes appear to be speaking in code. While the terms in this modest pamphlet are important, the definitions are limited and are best considered general indications of the meaning of the terms rather than a complete scholarly treatment. We hope you find this useful. If there are other terms or concepts you would like to learn more about that are not covered in this guide, please feel free to contact the associate vice president for mission & student affairs at 920-403-3014 or [email protected]. In the spirit of communio, The Staff of Mission & Student Affairs When a word in a definition appears in bold type, it indicates that the word is defined elsewhere in the glossary.

  • The Servite Secular Order
    THE SERVITE SECULAR ORDER A Secular Order is a group of the faithful who, working in the society, try to live the spirituality of a religious Order and the teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church, guided by the friars who belong to the "first order" or “conventual order.” These secular fraternities are known as "Third Order". The third Order of the Franciscans, the Dominicans, the Augustinians, the Carmelites and of the Servites popularly known to the people. The Secular Order of the Servants of Mary is composed of men and women who live their Christian faith in the society according to the specific spirit of the Order of Servants of Mary. The essential elements of their spirituality are clearly expressed in the Rule of Life, compiled according to the orientations of the Church, above all as the second Vatican Council says about the active presence of the laity in the Church. On the 29th of April 1995, the Holy See approved the new Rule of life. I. History II. Diffusion III. Characteristics IV. Other characteristics V. Activities I. History Right from the origins of the Order of the Servants of Mary (1233), there were people and married couples who desired to share the spirituality of the order. Some laymen were accepted in the priories as "oblates", according to the Benedictine habit to accept some laymen in their monasteries. The majority of those people, who shared the Spirit of the Servants of Mary, remained in their own environment, carrying out their own work, family duties and fulfilling social obligations of their time.
