Ita and Thomas of Canterbury Parish on September 3, 2020 The evening began with a Vespers Service at St. Gregory the Great, followed by Fr. Paul leading a procession of parishioners from St. Gregory with gis, signifying the parish, to be presented at the Mass of Unificaon. These gis included the book produced as part of the Parish's 50th Anniversary celebraon in 1954, Msgr. Klasen's "Church Beauful" booklet, books on St. Gregory High School graduates Gerry and Gwen Coniker, a new icon of St. Gregory the Great wrien by arst in residence Joe Malham, and a first class relic of St. Gregory the Great himself. Bishop Robert Casey, Vicar General of the Archdiocese, presided at both Vespers and the Mass of Unificaon. Bishop Casey himself symbolizes the union as his aunt and uncle are parishioners at St Gregory the Great and his first assignment as a priest was at St. Ita under Fr. Maddock. Thank you to everyone who played a part in the evening's acvies and the Renew My Church discernment groups. 4 • SAINTS ITA AND THOMAS OF CANTERBURY PARISH • CHICAGO, IL Map of New Parish Territory Under Canon law, the parish is responsible for the care of every soul in its borders-- not just Catholics! We love forward to even greater service to the people of our new parish territory. St. Robert Bellarmine, Bishop and Doctor of the Church • Feast Day: September 17 (October 4, 1542 – September 17, 1621) When Robert Bellarmine was ordained in 1570, the study of Church history and the fathers of the Church was in a sad state of neglect. A promising scholar from his youth in Tuscany, he devoted his energy to these two subjects, as well as to Scripture, in order to systemaze Church doctrine against the aacks of the Protestant Reformers. He was the first Jesuit to become a professor at Louvain. His most famous work is his three-volume Disputaons on the Controversies of the Chrisan Faith. Parcularly noteworthy are the secons on the temporal power of the pope and the role of the laity. Bellarmine was made a cardinal by Pope Clement VIII on the grounds that “he had not his equal for learning.” Among many acvies, Bellarmine became theologian to Pope Clement VIII, preparing two catechisms which have had great influence in the Church. Robert Bellarmine died on September 17, 1621. The process for his canonizaon was begun in 1627, but was delayed unl 1930 for polical reasons, stemming from his wrings. In 1930, Pope Pius XI canonized him, and the next year declared him a doctor of the Church. TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME • 5 Sts. Cornelius, Pope and Cyprian, Bishop - Martyrs Saint Cornelius was elected Pope in 251 during the persecuons of the Emperor Decius. His first challenge was to bring an end to the schism brought on by his rival, the first an-pope Novaan. He convened a synod of bishops to confirm him as the righul successor of Peter. The great controversy that arose as a result of the Decian persecuon was whether or not the Church could pardon and receive back into the Church those who had apostacized in the face of martyrdom. Against both the bishops who argued that the Church could not welcome back apostates, and those who argued that they should be welcomed back but did not demand a heavy penance of the penitent, Cornelius decreed that they must be welcomed back and insisted that they perform an adequate pen- ance. In 253 Cornelius was exiled by the emperor Gallus and died of the hardships he endured in exile. He is venerated as a martyr. Saint Cyprian of Carthage was a close friend of Pope Cornelius, and supported him both against the an-pope Novaan and in his views concerning the re-admiance of apostates into the Church. Saint Cyprian was born to wealthy pagans around the year 190, and was educated in the classics and in rhetoric. He converted at the age of 56, was ordained a priest a year later, and made bishop two years aer that. His wrings are of great importance, especially his trease on The Unity of the Catholic Church, in which he argues that unity is grounded in the authority of the bishop, and among the bishops, in the primacy of the See of Rome. During the Decian persecuons Cyprian considered it wiser to go into hiding and guide his flock covertly rather than seek the glorious crown of martyrdom, a decision that his enemies aacked him for. On September 14, 258, he was martyred during the persecuons of the emperor Valerian. Soup Kitchen Corner Thank you to everyone who has been able to donate to the Saint Thomas Soup Kitchen.

  • Pope Cornelius
    Pope Cornelius Pope Cornelius (died June 253) was the Bishop of Rome from 6 or 13 March 251 to his martyrdom in 253.[1] 1 Christian persecution Emperor Decius, who ruled from 249 to 251 AD, per- secuted Christians in the Roman Empire rather sporadi- cally and locally, but starting January in the year 250, he ordered all citizens to perform a religious sacrifice in the presence of commissioners, or else face death.[2] Many Christians refused and were martyred (possibly including the pope, St Fabian, on 20 January), while others partook in the sacrifices in order to save their own lives.[3] Two schools of thought arose after the persecution. One side, led by Novatian, who was a priest in the diocese of Rome, believed that those who had stopped practising Christian- ity during the persecution could not be accepted back into the church even if they repented. Under this philosophy, the only way to re-enter the church would be re-baptism. The opposing side, including Cornelius and Cyprian the Bishop of Carthage, did not believe in the need for re- baptism. Instead they thought that the sinners should only need to show contrition and true repentance to be wel- comed back into the church.[4] In hopes that Christian- ity would fade away, Decius prevented the election of a new pope. However, soon afterwards Decius was forced to leave the area to fight the invading Goths and while he was away the elections for pope were held.[3] In the 14 months without a pope, the leading candidate, Moses, had died under the persecution.

  • Rome, Hispania, and North Africa: the Case of the LIBELLATICI Bishops Martialis and Basilides
    Chapter 1 Rome, Hispania, and North Africa: The Case of the LIBELLATICI Bishops Martialis and Basilides One of the earliest cases that we have involving the bishop of Rome and bish- ops in Hispania transpired during the tenure of Cyprian of Carthage, who be- came embroiled in a row on the status of lapsed clergy during the pontificate of Pope Stephen I (254–257). The scene had already been set, so to speak, in the pontificate of Pope Cornelius (251–253), immediate predecessor of Stephen I. There had been a series of councils in Rome and Carthage to deal with the Novatian heresy, which is what set off the intense debate over requiring rebap- tism of heretics as a non-negotiable condition of coming back into commu- nion with the Church. I would like to begin with a brief sketch of Cornelius and Stephen I, their activities and positions during this time of intense persecution by the Emperors Decius and Diocletian. It was a moment when the faith of Christians was quite literally at times being tested by fire and by other heinous Roman methods of torture used against enemies of Emperor and Empire. Cornelius’s election was delayed by the persecution of Decius. A priest named Novatian contested his selection and had himself consecrated as bishop amidst accusations of lapsing from the faith during the persecution. This conflict led to intense debates be- tween those who defended either party, Cornelius or Novatian, over clergy that lapsed during persecution and later wanted to be reintegrated into the Church and resume their ministry.

  • General John Stark, an American Revolutionary War Hero Is Famous
    General John Stark, an American Revolutionary War hero is famous for the phrase “Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils.” From it, New Hampshire adopted its state motto: Live Free or Die.i In the third century when Roman Emperors were all powerful and treated like gods, Christians were often persecuted. Emperor Decius decreed that every follower of Jesus should give up their faith or die. Pope Fabian and many others were martyred. They recognized death was not the worst of evils and stayed true to the faith. Others were not as strong in their faith, and they were willing to live without freedom rather than die. Someone who renounces their faith is known as an apostate. Emperor Decius wanted the church to die, so he prevented the church from replacing Pope Fabian. Had he consulted the church he would have had a better idea of how hard this is to do. Bishop Tertullian (~155-~240 AD) is famous for his teaching that “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.”ii As paradoxical as it may seem, the more the church is persecuted, the more its members gain strength from their new champions in heaven. In secret, priests met to keep the church running for better than a year. In the year 251 when the emperor left Rome to engage in battle, Cornelius was elected pope. He had the unenviable position of trying to unify the church at a time when it was deeply divided. iii A priest named Novatian considered himself the pope and many believed as he did that those who denied the faith should not be allowed to reenter the church.

  • Commentary on the Vita Pauli Op St. Jerome Dissertation
    COMMENTARY ON THE VITA PAULI OP ST. JEROME DISSERTATION Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Reverend Philip Charles Hoelle, S.M,, G •A« f S •| 3 •T •L •9 A• The Ohio State University 1953 ...... Approved bys Advlser 1 Preface The yi*La Pauli » an interesting and edifying story of St. Paul the First Hermit, is an original writing of St. Jerome. It is based to some extent on fact but built in good part upon legend and tales that the author gathered from among the desert fathers. St. Jerome insists upon the historical character of his hero and nominates him as the first hermit, though he admits that St. Anthony, popularized by St. Athanasius1 Vita Antonil and Evagrius1 Latin version of it, was commonly venerated as the founder of monasticism. St. Jerome wrote the Vita Pauli, his first literary work, excluding the earliest letters, In 376, at the age of 29, when he was beginning in earnest his ascetlcal life as a hermit in the Syrian desert of Chalcis. Doubts as to the existence of St. Paul arose In St. Jerome’s own lifetime. This early scepticism was reechoed by the Magdeburg Centuriators and Erasmus, and Weingarten in the late 19th Century, in harmony with his theory of a fourth century origin for Christian.monasticism, called the Vita Pauli a purely rhetorical exercise. Preuschen, Dorn Butler and de Labriolle refuted promptly and successfully Weingarten* s charges so that today the common view of scholars holds that the Vita Pauli deals with a real person in a framework of legend.
