  • Udienza Alla Comunità Del Pontificio Collegio Beda Di Roma

I join you in giving praise to God for the many graces that have come to the Church through the work of the College in the years since its foundation. It was a time of great turbulence when Blessed Pope Pius IX established what became the Collegio Pio. Society was in turmoil, and the Church was not spared the troubles of the age. In England, a number of Anglicans had decided to seek Ordination in the Catholic Church; and this prompted the Pope to establish the College. At the end of the nineteenth century, again in unsettled times, the College had a surge of new life and in eighteen- ninety-seven became the Pontifical Beda College, in honour of the great English saint and scholar whom Pope Leo XIII was about to proclaim a Doctor of the Church at that time. Another important step forward came in nineteen-sixty, when the College moved to its present site in the shadow of Saint Paul’s Basilica.

  • The Anawim of Yahweh: Pope Francis
    The Anawim of Yahweh: Pope Francis’ Perspective of Social Responsibility in Action San Beda College Isamael Ireneo Maningas, Ed.D Introduction The Anawim of Yahweh: Pope Francis Francis Pope Yahweh: of Anawim The anawim he Hebrew word means those who are bowedanawim down. They are considered the vulnerable, the marginalized, and the socio-economically oppressed. In the Old Testament the are the‘anawim,’ “poor ones” who remained faithful to God in times of difficulty. Pope Benedict XVI teaches that “the spiritualityT of the biblical does not only recognize .... themselves as ‘poor’ in the detachment from all idolatry of riches and power, but also in the profound humility of a heart emptied of the temptation1 to prideanawim and open to the bursting in of the divine saving grace.” The nature of anawim is seeking for deliverance. Essential in the seeking for deliverance is trust in the Lord and do good. And a promise is given to that they will inherit the earth (Psalms 37:3,9,11). Thus, the “poor ones” showed their trust in God by being faithful to the times of prayer and sacrifice. This trust in God by the anawim is rooted from the basic thought of the Torah that Yahweh is the protector and defender of the poor (Exodus 22:25). It is for this reason that God is serious and sincere in forbidding the exploitation of the poor. God even commanded to treat the poor with open hands (Deuteronomy 15:7-11). It is precisely in this light that the needs and rights of the poor are central to the rules stipulated in this Pentateuch (the five books of Moses).

  • The Pastoral Care of Vocations
    CATHOLIC BISHOPS’ CONFERENCE OF ENGLAND & WALES COMMISSION ON SEMINARIES THE PASTORAL CARE OF VOCATIONS There have been, and to some extent there still are, many different practical forms according to which the Church has been involved in the pastoral care of vocations. Her task is not only to discern but also to “accompany” priestly vocations. But the spirit which must inspire and sustain her remains the same: that of bringing to the priesthood only those who have been called, and to bring them adequately trained, namely, with a conscious and free response of adherence and involvement of their whole person with Jesus Christ who calls them to intimacy of life with him and to share in his mission of salvation. In this sense, the “seminary” in its different forms, and analogously the “house” of formation for religious priests, more than a place, a material space, should be a spiritual place, a way of life, an atmosphere that fosters and ensures a process of formation, so that the person who is called to the priesthood by God may become, with the Sacrament of Orders, a living image of Jesus Christ, Head and Shepherd of the Church. Pastores Dabo Vobis §42 1 When reflecting on vocations to the priesthood and on the formation which they deserve, the members of this Commission recall the teaching of the Second Vatican Council that Priests are co-workers of the Bishops so that their apostolic mission can be properly carried out. Bishops have a special responsibility and concern for Priests, for the discernment and nurturing of vocations to the priesthood, and for making the best possible provision for initial and on-going priestly formation.

  • San Beda College of Law San Beda College
    San Beda College of Law Mendiola, Manila CASES IN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW II FUNDAMENTAL POWERS OF THE STATE POLICE POWER Philippine Association of Service Exporters vs. Drilon [G.R. No. L-81958, June 30, 1988] CONCEPT OF POLICE POWER. The concept of police power is well-established in this jurisdiction. It has been defined as the "state authority to enact legislation that may interfere with personal liberty or property in order to promote the general welfare." As defined, it consists of (1) an imposition of restraint upon liberty or property, (2) in order to foster the common good. It is not capable of an exact definition but has been, purposely, veiled in general terms to underscore its all-comprehensive embrace. "Its scope, ever-expanding to meet the exigencies of the times, even to anticipate the future where it could be done, provides enough room for an efficient and flexible response to conditions and circumstances thus assuring the greatest benefits." It finds no specific Constitutional grant for the plain reason that it does not owe its origin to the Charter. Along with the taxing power and eminent domain, it is inborn in the very fact of statehood and sovereignty. It is a fundamental attribute of government that has enabled it to perform the most vital functions of governance. Marshall, to whom the expression has been credited, refers to it succinctly as the plenary power of the State "to govern its citizens." "The police power of the State . is a power coextensive with self-protection, and it is not inaptly termed the 'law of overwhelming necessity.' It may be said to be that inherent and plenary power in the State which enables it to prohibit all things hurtful to the comfort, safety, and welfare of society." It constitutes an implied limitation on the Bill of Rights.
