  • Frequently Asked Questions About the Catholicity of Alpha

    Frequently Asked Questions About the Catholicity of Alpha

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CATHOLICITY OF ALPHA The following article addresses frequently asked questions about the Catholicity of the Alpha course. Among these, some have asked, “Why is the Diocese of Green Bay using the Alpha course when Alpha did not originate in the Catholic Church?” In this document are four questions and answers to be aware of on how the Alpha course can support our discipleship efforts in the Catholic Church. Recall that the four step discipleship process in the Diocese of Green Bay is as follows: 1. Discover Jesus. 2 Follow Jesus. 3. Worship Jesus. Share Jesus. These questions are detailed below. Page 1: Did Alpha originate in the Catholic Church? Page 2: If the Catholic Church teaches that the Church of Christ exists fully only in the Catholic Church (Dominus Iesus, no. 14), then why is the Diocese of Green Bay using a non-Catholic resource? Page 3: Why is there an “Alpha in a Catholic Context”? What gaps does the “Catholic context” part of Alpha address? Page 4: Are members of the Catholic hierarchy and other key Catholic leaders endorsing Alpha? 1. Did Alpha originate in the Catholic Church? Alpha was founded in 1977 by Reverend Charles Marnham at Holy Trinity Brompton, an Anglican parish in London. However, Nicky Gumbel, an Anglican priest, oversaw the development and expansion of the Alpha course starting from the 1980’s to the present day. However, it sometimes takes an “outsider” to show us “insiders” how wise the Catholic Church is in her teachings. Incidentally, what Nicky Gumbel effectively integrated into the Alpha course are several discipleship principles and practices as taught by the Catholic Church.

  • What Is a Synod?

    What Is a Synod?

    WHAT IS A SYNOD? The word “synod” (pronounced /śɪnəd/) comes from the Greek word synodos, meaning “an assembly,” an ecclesiastical gathering under the hierarchical authority of a bishop in a diocese. The assembly can include clergy, religious sisters and brothers, and lay persons. Synods are called to discuss and recommend decisions on matters of faith, morals, discipline or governance. Synod members advise the bishop. Synods are rare and exceptionally historic events. Only 10 synods been called in Detroit since the Church here was founded in 1701, all of them after the Diocese of Detroit was established in 1833 by Pope Gregory XVI. (At that time the diocese included all of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and portions of the Dakotas east of the Mississippi River!) Each Detroit synod was called to address particular issues of immediate concern to the local church. The issues typically included diocesan and parish structure and governance, and the implementation of the teachings of various provincial, national or global councils. Bishop LeFevre convened two synods in Detroit (1859 & 1862) to address regulation of clergy and to implement council decrees. Bishop Borgess convened five synods between 1873 and 1886, covering establishing parish schools, supporting charitable organizations, and constructing a new cathedral. Cardinal Mooney convened two synods (1944 & 1954), covering the liturgy and the teaching office of the Church. Cardinal Dearden called one synod in April 1966, shortly after the close of the Second Vatican Council. This synod, completed in May 1969 and referred to as “Synod 69,” was convened to implement certain aspects of Vatican II, in particular the “Universal Call to Holiness” in the Dogmatic Constitution of the Church (Lumen Gentium).
