At various stages in the past 20 centuries, dif­ ferent writers have compiled lists of the Popes until their day, relying on such authorities as were acces­ sible to them. But there were differences among the catalogues on which they relied, sometimes because of copyists’ errors and at other times because of a lack of historical precision. In 1947, Vatican scholars published the result of a comprehensive study of all ancient lists, eliminating inaccuracies wherever they had crept in.

  • The Daily Eucharist at the Council As Stimulus and Test Case for Liturgical Reform
    QL 95 (2014) 28-51 doi: 10.2143/QL.95.1.3030644 © 2014, all rights reserved THE DAILY EUCHARIST AT THE COUNCIL AS STIMULUS AND TEST CASE FOR LITURGICAL REFORM In order to study the contribution of Vatican II to liturgical reform, most scholars spontaneously will turn to the redaction history of Sacrosanctum Concilium. In this paper I am more interested in the question of how the daily Eucharist celebrated at the beginning of each of the General Congregations was experienced by those present. Were these celebrations experienced as an illustration of the reforms proposed in the Constitution on the Liturgy, or rather as a counter-witness to the sorely needed liturgical reform? My major sources are council diaries, at least those that are attentive to this aspect of the Council’s life. I especially rely on accounts of their liturgical experiences offered by two Latin rite Catholic “observers” of the Council liturgies, the French Dominican, Yves Congar and the Irish journalist and Redemptorist, Xavier Rynne; one Oriental rite Catholic Council father, the Melkite archbishop, Neophytos Edelby; and two “real” observers: the United Church of Christ representative, Douglas Horton and the Presbyterian minister, Robert McAfee Brown. It will soon become clear that two types of Eucharistic celebrations received most attention in their diaries and chronicles: the divine liturgies celebrated in rites other than the Latin one and the opening and concluding ceremonies of each session. Especially in the first session the exposure of the mostly Latin-rite Council Fathers to liturgies celebrated by Byzantine and Oriental Catholic Council Fathers may have cured them of some of their prejudices concerning important issues of liturgical debate such as concelebration, the vernacular and communion under both species.

  • Missionary Sisters of Saint Charles Borromeo - Scalabrinians
    In this first volume of the history of the Missionary Sisters of Saint Charles – Scalabrinians that covers the period of 1895 – 1934, Sister Lice Maria Signor dedicates herself patiently in giving an attractive and documented form, the historical path of the MSCS Congregation and does it under diverse aspects: social, economic, political, cultural, ecclesial and religious. It is evidenced her determination in looking at the elements to construct our history and to show how the existence of the MSCS Sisters Congregation, is a historic/missionary path of evangelic service to the migrants, that become the incarnation of the words of Jesus Christ: “I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Mt. 25,35). “Seeds emigrate on the wings of the wind, plants emigrate from continent to continent, carried by the water currents, birds and animals emigrate, but more than all, man emigrates, now in a collective form, now in an isolated form but always an instrument of that Providence that presides over the destiny of humans and guides them, also by catastrophes, for the final goal, that of perfectioning man over the land and the glory of God in the heavens” (Scalabrini).

  • FRANJO ŠEPER: an EXCEPTIONAL PERSONALITY of the CATHOLIC CHURCH in CROATIA and the WORLD. on the 30Th ANNIVERSARY of HIS DEATH*
    UDK: 262.136.6 Šeper, F. Pregledni članak Received: October 10, 2011 Accepted: November 28, 2011 FRANJO ŠEPER: AN EXCEPTIONAL PERSONALITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN CROATIA AND THE WORLD. ON THE 30th ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH* Josip KAJINIĆ** On the thirtieth anniversary of Cardinal Franjo Šeper’s death, this work presents some better and lesser-known facts and events from his life. Besides these facts, there is an analysis of Šeper’s role, both in the Catholic Church in Croatia and in the world. Certain aspects which have not thus far been sufficiently taken into consideration concerning Šeper’s activities are examined. Key words: Franjo Šeper, Catholic Church, Zagreb archbishop, cardinal, Vatican, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Introduction The activity of the Catholic Church in Croatia is a virtually inexhaustible historiographic source. This is why the activity of the Church as an institution and that of distinguished clerical officials who exerted a greater or lesser influ- ence on its work are both vital to historiography. In this regard, Franjo Šeper was certainly one of the Church’s most distinguished personalities. He began as a catechism instructor, and then became archdiocesan secretary, coadjutor * This paper is based on hitherto published data of several authors and research conducted within the framework of the scholarly project The Catholic Church in the Face of Ideology and Political Programmes at the Croatian Institute of History, led by Jure Krišto, Ph.D. ** Josip Kajinić, Croatian Institute of History, Zagreb, Republic of Croatia. 315 J.

  • „Principele Scortesco”. Cine Era? (Cu O Incursiune În Peisajul Catolic Tradiţionalist Din Apus)
    1 Un român exilat misterios: „Principele Scortesco”. Cine era? (cu o incursiune în peisajul catolic tradiţionalist din Apus) P. dr. Remus Mircea Birtz, OBSS Summary This study presents some data about the Romanian Traditional Catholic writers, the painter Paul Scorţescu / Scortesco / Scortzesco (1893, Yassy – 1976, Paris), his brother the diplomatic minister Theodor Scorţescu / Scortzesco (1895, Yassy – 1979, Buenos-Aires), known in the Romanian literature, and Miss Myra Davidoglou (1923, Bucharest – 2001, France) a graphic artist too. Some historical and genealogical data about the Scortzesco Moldavian-Romanian noble family are given, and a short landscape of the Traditional Catholic Resistance. It is proven that the well-known statement of Paul Scortzesco about the 1963 Conclave cannot be true, however without denying the election of Cardinal Giuseppe Siri as Pope (Gregory XVII) in the 1958 Conclave. Some biographical data about the Scortzescos can and must be certainly corrected, when new informations from the yet unknown Romanian Exile Culture will be available. Key words: Paul Scorţescu / Scortesco / Scortzesco (1893-1976), Theodor Scorţescu / Scortzesco (1895-1979), Myra Davidoglou (1923-2001), Cardinal Giuseppe Siri (Gregory XVII), Roman Catholic Resistance, Sedevacantism, Romanian Exile.

[Eileen Anne Kelly] St. Ann’s Academy, Kamloops, B.C. In a circular letter dated February 22, 1965, Mother Mary Claire des Anges, Superior General of the Sisters of Saint Ann, informed her community that a decree on the writings of Mother Mary Ann, foundress of the Sisters of Saint Ann, had been forwarded from the Sacred Congregation of Rites. The document reads as follows: Sacred Congregation of Rites ARCHDIOCESE OF MONTREAL CAUSE OF BEATIFICATION AND OF CANONIZATION of the Servant of God Mary Anne (Marie Esther Blondin) Foundress of the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Ann. At the request of Very Rev. Father Angelo Mitri, O.M.I., duly constituted Postulator in the Cause of Beatification and Canonization of the Servant of God MARY ANNE (Marie Esther Blondin), Foundress of the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Ann, an ordinary assembly of the Sacred Congregation of Rites was convened in the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican on December 15, 1964. At this meeting the Eminent and Very Reverend Bishop Arcadio Marie Larraona, Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Rites, Ponent and Reporter of the said cause, proposed the discussion on the revision of the writings of the said Servant of God. The Most Reverend and Eminent Fathers, appointed Custodians of the Sacred Rites, after having collected the votes of the Prelate Officers (consultants) and seriously considered the matter, judged it opportune to declare that nothing is opposed to continued action hereafter, subject however to the right of the General Promoter of the Faith to object as much as he is entitled to.

    SONS OF DON BOSCO SUCCESSORS OF THE APOSTLES SALESIAN BISHOPS 1884 to 2001 by Charles N. Bransom, Jr. INTRODUCTION he study of apostolic succession and episcopal lineages has long fascinated students of church history. It was not until the middle T of the twentieth century, however, that a systematic attempt was made to trace and catalogue the consecrations of bishops on a world-wide basis. A small group of researchers has catalogued the consecrations of tens of thou­ sands of bishops dating back many centuries. The fruits of their labors--labors that are on going-have resulted in a database, which can trace the episcopal lineage of any living bishop and the vast majority of deceased bishops. In 1984, I began a project on the episcopal ordinations of bishops of re­ ligious orders and congregations. One fruit of that work was a study of the ordi­ nations of Salesian bishops, Les Eveques Salesiens. The present work updates, corrects and expands the 1984 study. In 1984, the episcopal ordinations of 130 bishops were presented. This study contains the details of 196 bishops. The text has been expanded to include the episcopal lineages of the bishops. Of the 196 bishops in this study, 183 trace their orders to Scipione Re­ biba, who was appointed Auxiliary Bishop ofChieti in 1541. The Rebiban suc­ cession is the major episcopal line in the contemporary Catholic episcopate. More than 91 % of the more than 4,500 bishops alive today trace their orders 54 Journal of Salesian Studies back to Rebiba Why so many bishops should trace their lineages to this one bishop can be explained, in great part, by the intense sacramental activity of Pope Benedict XIII, who consecrated 139 bishops during his pontificate, many of them cardinals, nuncios and bishops of important sees who in tum conse­ crated many other bishops.
