Buechlein and his new brother priests, Deacon Sean Gallagher Photos by Scott Nobbe was ordained to the priesthood on June 24 at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis. Quoting Pope Benedict XVI during his homily, Archbishop Buechlein reflected on the role of hands in the rite of ordination. “[The pope] said, ‘At the center is the ancient rite of the imposition of hands,’ ” Archbishop Buechlein said. “ ‘With that gesture, Jesus takes possession of us. “ ‘In effect, he does so, saying “You are under the pro- tection of my hands. … You are kept safely in the palm of my hands … Stay in my hands, and give me yours.’ ” Later in the homily, the archbishop returned to the close relationship between Christ and a priest, saying that it is rooted in prayer. “Pope Benedict says that [this] is the meaning of the imposition of hands: I no longer call you servants but friends,” the archbishop said. “The core of the priesthood is being friends of Jesus, and being a friend of Jesus means being a man of prayer.” Continuing with the theme of hands, the archbishop assured Deacon Nobbe of the prayerful support of all present at the liturgy. “Scott, today you put your hands at Christ’s disposal,” he said. “Today, we pray with you that Jesus will take you by the hand again and again, and lead you in your priestly ministry.” Above, Deacon Scott Nobbe places his Deacon Nobbe gave his hands to Christ and the hands in the hands of Archbishop Daniel M.

Alphonsus Ihuoma ________________________________ Professor Raj Bhala (Chairperson) Date approved: May 15, 2014 ii ABSTRACT Man, as a person, is superior to the state, and consequently the good of the person transcends the good of the state. The philosopher Jacques Maritain developed his political philosophy thoroughly informed by his deep Catholic faith. His philosophy places the human person at the center of every action. In developing his political thought, he enumerates two principal tasks of the state as (1) to establish and preserve order, and as such, guarantee justice, and (2) to promote the common good. The state has such duties to the people because it receives its authority from the people. The people possess natural, God-given right of self-government, the exercise of which they voluntarily invest in the state.

Wester has urged Catholics to hold off celebrating the Christmas season until it officially begins on the Church calendar on Dec. 24. In his first pastoral letter as Salt Lake City’s bishop, he urged the state’s Catholics to keep true to the spirit of Bishop John C. Wester Advent—a season of preparation which he said has been “neglected in many places,” and often “overshadowed by the holiday season.” The bishop, who was installed in 2007 as the shepherd of the statewide Catholic diocese, noted that in the rush and busyness of the Christmas season, many people miss out on its true meaning. “By the time that the actual solemnity of Christmas arrives, many of us are burned out. We are already tired of all the ‘Christmas hype.’ Christmas has become anticlimactic,” A frightening football injury to Nick Schnell, center, led many people in the Indianapolis Catholic community to pray for him after the Oct. 17 incident. he wrote.

  • Papal Transitions
    Backgrounder Papal Transition 2013 prepared by Office of Media Relations United States Conference of Catholic Bishops 3211 Fourth Street NE ∙ Washington, DC 20017 202-541-3200 ∙ 202-541-3173 fax ∙ www.usccb.org/comm Papal Transitions Does the Church have a formal name for the transition period from one pope to another? Yes, in fact, this period is referred to by two names. Sede vacante, in the Church’s official Latin, is translated "vacant see," meaning that the see (or diocese) of Rome is without a bishop. In the 20th century this transition averaged just 17 days. It is also referred to as the Interregnum, a reference to the days when popes were also temporal monarchs who reigned over vast territories. This situation has almost always been created by the death of a pope, but it may also be created by resignation. When were the most recent papal transitions? On April 2, 2005, Pope John Paul II died at the age of 84 after 26 years as pope. On April 19, 2005, German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, formerly prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, was elected to succeed John Paul II. He took the name Pope Benedict XVI. There were two in 1978. On August 6, 1978, Pope Paul VI died at the age of 80 after 15 years as pope. His successor, Pope John Paul I, was elected 20 days later to serve only 34 days. He died very unexpectedly on September 28, 1978, shocking the world and calling the cardinals back to Rome for the second time in as many months.

  • Paradossi Elettorali. Dove Nasce Un Cardinale, Lì Stravince La Lega
    Paradossi elettorali. Dove nasce un cardinale, lì stravince la Lega Dc, 29/05/2019 URL article: http://magister.blogautore.espresso.repubblica.it/2019/05/29/paradossi-elettoral… "In questa fase la Chiesa fa troppa politica e si occupa troppo poco di fede": così il cardinale Gerhard L. Müller in un’intervista a commento delle elezioni europee, sul "Corriere della Sera" del 28 maggio, in linea con l’acuta analisi del professor Sergio Belardinelli nel precedente post di Settimo Cielo. Perché in effetti le alte gerarchie cattoliche, con in testa papa Francesco (vedi la copertina de “L’Espresso”), non si sono risparmiate nel far politica alla vigilia delle elezioni, specie in Italia, non tanto schierandosi apertamente “per” qualche determinato partito, ma inequivocabilmente schierandosi “contro” uno di essi, la Lega. Con quali risultati? Attenendoci ai nudi dati elettorali, con risultati diametralmente opposti alle aspettative. Basta scorrere le località che hanno dato i natali ai cardinali italiani più illustri e vicini a Jorge Mario Bergoglio, per registrare che anche lì la Lega ha stravinto, con percentuali di voti oscillanti tra il 40 e il 60 per cento. È accaduto così a Marradi, in provincia di Firenze, dove è nato il cardinale Gualtiero Bassetti, presidente della conferenza episcopale italiana. Idem a Schiavon, in provincia di Vicenza, paese natale del cardinale Pietro Parolin, segretario di Stato. E così a Barga, in provincia di Lucca, dove è nato il cardinale Lorenzo Baldisseri, segretario generale del sinodo dei vescovi. E ancora in

  • Pope Francis After One Year Paul Vallely Author, Pope Francis
    TRANSCRIPT Pope Francis after One Year Paul Vallely Author, Pope Francis: Untying the Knots John Allen, Jr. The Boston Globe MICHAEL CROMARTIE: Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome. For those of you who are new, welcome to the Faith Angle Forum. We’ve been doing the Faith Angle Forum since 1999. This is our 24th forum. Now, ladies and gentlemen, our first speaker, Paul Vallely, the author of a wonderful new book called Pope Francis: Untying the Knots that has been raved about by every reviewer. He’s also written an important essay in the magazine The Independent. We have about 30 copies of this. It’s called “A Rebel Pope, One Year In,” and it’s over here near the coffee. Feel free to take one. Paul’s book has been called by The New Yorker as “indispensable.” It’s been called “riveting” by The Guardian, and The Sunday Times said “in terms of seriousness of purpose and depth of understanding,” it is “head and shoulders above” all the other books written about Pope Francis. You see the rest of his bio in your packets. He’s a man who has traveled widely, written often on these topics, and we’re delighted he came all the way from England to be with us this morning. Paul, you’re on. Thank you for coming. PAUL VALLELY: Yes, thank you very much, Michael, for inviting me. It’s a great gathering. I was talking to people last night and saying we need something like this in the UK, because that kind of interface between the secular press and the religious world is one where the gap is even wider in the UK than it is here.

  • The Promotion of Religious Freedom in Relations with Selected Islamic States During the Pontificate of John Paul II
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Diplomatic Activity In Service Of Papal Teaching: The Promotion Of Religious Freedom In Relations With Selected Islamic States During The Pontificate Of John Paul II A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Canon Law Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Canon Law © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Jaclyn O’Brien McEachern Washington, D.C. 2010 Diplomatic Activity In Service Of Papal Teaching: The Promotion Of Religious Freedom In Relations With Selected Islamic States During The Pontificate Of John Paul II Jaclyn O’Brien McEachern, J.C.D. Director: John P. Beal, J.C.D. The purpose of this dissertation is to assess the various diplomatic agreements between the Holy See and four Islamic states (Kazakhstan, Côte d’Ivoire, Morocco, and Egypt) concluded during the pontificate of John Paul II as instruments for giving legal form to the pontiff’s magisterial teaching on religious freedom. It also determines how much of John Paul II’s teaching on religious freedom has been implemented and if the juridic status of Catholics in these states has improved with the conclusion of these agreements. This dissertation is divided into three chapters. The first chapter identifies four key elements of John Paul II’s teaching on religious liberty which shaped the Holy See’s diplomacy, shows how the pope developed from these four theological principles twelve specific benchmarks for success in promoting religious freedom, and identifies and examines the four core strategies that the Holy See has utilized to advance religious freedom, particularly in Islamic majority states.
