  • The Application of Sacrosanctum Concilium to Music in the Parish of St Peter and St Paul, Wolverhampton
    Models of Liturgical Music & Model Liturgical Music: The Application of Sacrosanctum Concilium to Music in the Parish of St Peter and St Paul, Wolverhampton by Wilfrid H G Jones The University of Birmingham, Department of Theology and Religions Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree Master of Arts (by Research) Department of Theology and Religions, College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham December, 2015 Copyright © Wilfrid Jones 2016.

ABSTRACT Active participation in the liturgy, which should be primarily internal and fostered by external participation, is the primary concern of the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the sacred liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium. Having investigated the historical effects of the Council and the ensuing liturgical reform on the music in the liturgies of St Peter and St Paul’s, Wolverhampton, this experiment gradually introduced the liturgical music envisaged by Sacrosanctum Concilium into a weekly Mass and uses ethnographic techniques to investigate whether the active participation of the people increased. This paper examines attitudes to active participation, to congregational singing and listening, and the construction of liturgical atmosphere.

  • Popes in History
    popes in history medals by Ľudmila Cvengrošová text by Mons . Viliam Judák Dear friends, Despite of having long-term experience in publishing in other areas, through the AXIS MEDIA company I have for the first time entered the environment of medal production. There have been several reasons for this decision. The topic going beyond the borders of not only Slovakia but the ones of Europe as well. The genuine work of the academic sculptress Ľudmila Cvengrošová, an admirable and nice artist. The fine text by the Bishop Viliam Judák. The “Popes in history” edition in this range is a unique work in the world. It proves our potential to offer a work eliminating borders through its mission. Literally and metaphorically, too. The fabulous processing of noble metals and miniatures produced with the smallest details possible will for sure attract the interest of antiquarians but also of those interested in this topic. Although this is a limited edition I am convinced that it will be provided to everybody who wants to commemorate significant part of the historical continuity and Christian civilization. I am pleased to have become part of this unique project, and I believe that whether the medals or this lovely book will present a good message on us in the world and on the world in us. Ján KOVÁČIK AXIS MEDIA 11 Celebrities grown in the artist’s hands There is one thing we always know for sure – that by having set a target for himself/herself an artist actually opens a wonderful world of invention and creativity. In the recent years the academic sculptress and medal maker Ľudmila Cvengrošová has devoted herself to marvellous group projects including a precious cycle of male and female monarchs of the House of Habsburg crowned at the St.

The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) educational organization and does not take institutional positions on any issues. The views expressed here are those of the author(s). Opening the Fifth Seal Catholic Martyrs and Forces of Religious Competition Rachel M. McCleary and Robert J. Barro Jorge Mario Bergoglio, since becoming Pope Francis in March 2013, is focusing on martyrdom in the Roman Catholic Church. Two months into his pontificate, Francis canonized the 813 martyrs of Otranto, the largest such group in recorded Catholic Church history. Five months later, Francis beatified another large group, 499 martyrs of the Spanish Civil War. Francis continues to emphasize martyrs over confessors, the name given to blessed persons who died of natural causes. In 2019, Francis beatified 39 martyrs and only 6 confessors. As a snapshot of what is happening, within the last four years, 14 persons who died in Guatemala have qualified as blessed martyrs; six were foreign missionaries who served in Guatemala and eight were national lay persons, including one child.1 The missionaries were Oklahoma priest Stanley Rother, the first U.S. born martyr beatified by the Catholic Church, three Missionaries of the Sacred Heart priests, a priest of the Order of Friars Minor, and James Miller, of the De La Salle Brothers of the Christian Schools and the last Vatican beatification for 2019.

Tulinius September 2014 1 Abstract Eyrbyggja saga is thought to have been written at the monastery that was located at Helgafell on the south side of Breiðafjörður during the 13th century. Many have considered the saga to have had relatively little Christian influence due to its vivid descriptions of what is purported to be heathen objects and customs within the saga. Recent research has turned this view on its head, leading scholars to ponder where heathen influence ends and Christian begins. It is the purpose of this thesis to explore the idea that a Christian cleric modelled the saga based on the oral sources that he had at his disposal, weaving these sources together to suit his own aims. Rather than searching for the pagan and the Christian elements explicitly, the text will be inspected for one particular aspect of Latin education, well known to have been taught all over Europe at the time the saga is purported to have been written. This aspect is a part of the trivium of Latin learning, known as dialectic. The implications of this type of education is first inspected, then a text available and extremely popular during the time is consulted for an understanding of the content of this education, Boethius’ De topicis differentiis.

But one common line of thought held that, for better or worse, his decision might leave the papacy wrong’ a less exalted and powerful office, bringing the supreme pontiff closer to the level of other bishops, clergy and faithful. Might the presence of two living popes inside the Vatican sow confusion over where governing authority actually lay, or, at least, dilute the prestige of the unique role of Vicar of Christ? Might the precedent of resignation make it easier to drive a future pope from office, thus introducing a new kind of political pressure into the leadership of the Church?

    The Holy See MEETING WITH THE PERSONNEL OF THE HOLY SEE AND OF THE VATICAN CITY STATE WITH THEIR FAMILIES ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS Paul VI Audience Hall Monday, 22 December 2014 [Multimedia] “It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men equal to angels” (St Augustine) Beloved Co-workers, Good morning! Beloved Curia Employees — not Curia insubordinates, as someone inadvertently defined you, through a typographical error — ! A little while ago I met the Heads of the Dicasteries and the Superiors of the Roman Curia for the traditional exchange of Christmas greetings, and now I am meeting you, to express to each one of you my sincerest wishes for a true Birth of the Lord. It is a fact that the vast majority of you are Italian citizens. Therefore, allow me also to address particular, and I would say, proper appreciation to Italians who throughout the history of the Church and of the Roman Curia have worked constantly in a generous and faithful spirit, putting at the service of the Holy See and of the Successor of Peter their own unique industriousness and their filial dedication, offering to the Church great Saints, Popes, martyrs, missionaries, artists, which no fleeting shadow of history could obscure. Thank you very much! I also thank the people who have come from other countries and work generously in the Curia, far from their homelands and from their families, who represent for the Curia the face of the “catholicity” of the Church. 2 Having addressed the Superiors of the Roman Curia, comparing it to a Body which is always seeking to be more united and more harmonious in order to mirror, in a certain sense, the mistico Corpo di Cristo, namely, the Church, I paternally exhort you to meditate on this text as a source of reflection for a fruitful examination of conscience, in preparation for Holy Christmas and for the New Year.
