  • Karl Rahner's Work on the Assumption of Mary Into Heaven
    Karl Rahner’s Work on the Assumption of Mary into Heaven By Mark F. Fischer, St. John’s Seminary, Camarillo [Mark F. Fischer is Professor of Theology at St. John’s Seminary, the seminary of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. He wrote his doctoral dissertation on Hans-Georg Gadamer and the Catholic Theology of Tradition (Berkeley: Graduate Theological Union, 1985). In 2005 he published The Foundations of Karl Rahner, a paraphrase of Rahner’s Foundations of Catholic Faith.] Abstract Karl Rahner completed his Assumptio Beatae Mariae Virginis in 1951 but did not receive permission to publish it from his Jesuit superiors. The work was only published in 2004, twenty years after Rahner’s death. This essay examines his treatise on the Assumption of Mary and the objections of the censors. The relation between the treatise and Rahner’s publication of 1947, “On the Theology of Death,” receives special attention. The shorter work was appended to the Marian treatise as an “excursus” but laid the foundation for the later work. Rahner reinterpreted the dogma of the Assumption in light of the resurrection of the dead, which the assumption of Mary’s body and soul into heaven anticipates. Among Rahner’s many speculative comments, this essay focuses on three. First, at the final resurrection, the soul (separated at death from the body) re-creates a new and glorified body as its fulfillment and perfection. Second, the glorified body expresses a metaphysical holiness that matures between the moment of death and the final judgment. And third, the resurrection of the body completes the transformation of the world as a new heaven and a new earth that began with the Incarnation.

    World Religions and the History of Christianity: Roman Catholicism THE STUDY OF WORLD RELIGIONS Lesson 8 ROMAN CATHOLICISM I. Historically “The first two centuries of the Christian era was a period in which the churches remained true to the teaching of Christ and the apostles. Then there was a decline in Christianity when pagans were invited and accepted into the Christian Church, opening the way for the development of Roman Catholicism as we know it today.”1 A. “Roman Catholic Church is the largest body of Christians in the world. In fact, the church has more followers than all other Christian groups combined and more than any non- Christian religion.”2 B. The early church 1. The first 300 years can be broken down into four major sections. a. The apostles b. The Ante-Nicene Fathers c. The Nicene Fathers d. The Post-Nicene Fathers 2. The recognition of Christianity “Constantine the Great was the first Roman emperor to become a Christian. In 313, Constantine and Licinius, the emperor of Rome's eastern provinces, granted freedom of worship and equal rights to all religious groups in the empire. By the late 300's, Christianity had become a favored religion of the empire.”3 3. Conflict with the East “Beginning in the 400's , the Eastern churches began to drift away from the authority of Rome and from the church in the West.”4 C.

  • The Role of Mary in the Work of Redemption: Seven Key Moments
    The Role of Mary in the Work of Redemption: Seven Key Moments R O B E R T F ASTIGGI , P H .D. Professor of Systematic Theology , Sacred Heart Major Seminary Introduction The role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the economy of salvation is rooted in the mystery of the Incarnation. God chose to unite creation to himself by becom- ing incarnate ex Maria virgine.1 The eternal plan for the created cosmos, therefore, includes the Blessed Mother. The role of Mary in the economy of salvation is, therefore, not something marginal but central. In fact, the Blessed Virgin Mary is part of God’s plan from all eternity. The theology of Marian co-redemption un- folds in seven key moments: 1) Mary’s predestination as the Co-redemptrix; 2) Mary’s Immaculate Conception; 3) Mary’s free consent to be the Mother of the Word Incarnate at the Annunciation; 4) Mary’s union with her Son “in the work of salvation” from “the time of Christ’s virginal conception up to His death”;2 5) Mary’s union with Christ’s passion and her offering of her crucified Son to the Fa- ther; 6) Mary’s glorious assumption body and soul into heaven; 7) Mary’s ongoing maternal mediation of the grace with and under Christ, the one Mediator. Each of these moments deserves individual attention, but all of them combine to illuminate Mary’s essential role in the work of redemption. 1. Mary’s predestination as Mother of the Redeemer and Co- redemptrix Mary was predestined to be the Mother of the Incarnate Word.

  • The Five M's of Mary1 in Addition to the Four Official Teachings About
    The Five M's of Mary1 In addition to the four official teachings about Mary's personal attributes that all Catholics are bound to believe as articles of faith (Mother of God, Ever Virgin, Immaculately Conceived, and Assumed into Heaven), there are other aspects of Catholic belief about Mary that are helpful in understanding her role in God's plan and her relationship to the Church. One way of remembering these truths about Mary and the Church is to think of five of her attributes that begin with the letter "M": member, model, mother, mediatrix, and messenger. The first three "M's" are mentioned in one paragraph of the chapter on Mary in the "Dogmatic Constitution of the Church" of the Second Vatican Council: Therefore, she is also hailed as a pre-eminent and altogether singular member of the Church, and as the Church's model and excellent exemplar in faith and charity. Taught by the Holy Spirit, the Catholic Church honors her with filial affection and piety as teh most beloved mother...." Mary as Member of the Church The Second Vatican Council included its discussion of Mary in the last chapter of Lumen Gentium in order to emphasize that Mary is a member, albeit "a preeminent and ...wholly unique member," of the church (see CCC 967). This attribute of Mary is a reminder that however much we might rightfully honor and exalt Mary for her response to God and for her role in God's saving plan, she remains fully human. She is not to be adored by Christians as a goddess; she is a fully human servant of God whom he has favored through his mercy and grace.

The origins of this belief are in the earliest attempts of the Fathers of the Church and Christian writers to .reflect on the treasure of divine revelation. Mary's presence and mission were to be found in the context of the mystery of the Incarnate Word, to which she had a double relation: to the Word of God Himself (who became her Son and our Redeemer); and to us (being human like us, she shared our common lot as God's crea­ ture, called to communion with Him through grace and eternal life).

MARY SINCE VATICAN II: DECLINE AND RECOVERY Avery Cardinal Dulles, SJ * The Blessed Virgin Mary has inspired art, poetry, devotion, and theology in manifold ways over the centuries, fulfilling her own prediction, "All generations will call me blessed." My own task this evening is to say a little about Mary in recent Catholic theology. From the late Middle Ages until the middle of the twentieth century the predominant emphasis had been on the uniqueness of Mary and the privileges that set her apart from all other children of Eve. The Immaculate Conception and the Assumption were solemnly proclaimed by Pius IX and Pius XII respectively. Following the definition of the Assump­ tion in 1950 there was a flurry of speculation about possible new titles for Mary, for example, Mediatrix of all Graces and Co-redemptrix. This trend, however, raised questions in the minds of re­ flective theologians.
