Apostolic Lines of Succession-10-2018
Apostolic Lines of Succession for ++Michael David Callahan, DD, OCR, OCarm. The Catholic Church in America “Have you an apostolic succession? Unfold the line of your bishops.” Tertullian, 3rd century A.D. A special visible expression of Apostolic Succession is given in the consecration/ ordination of a bishop through the laying on of hands by other bishops who have, themselves, been ordained in the same manner through a succession of bishops leading back to the apostles of Jesus. The role of the bishop must always be understood within the context of the authentic handing on of the faith from one generation to the next generation of the whole Church, beginning with the Christian community of the time of the Apostles. Thus, as the Church is the continuation of the apostolic community, so the bishops are the continuation of the ministry of the college of the apostles of Jesus within that apostolic community. It is essentially collegial rather than monarchical. This tradition is affirmed in the teaching ministry of Church leadership, and authentically celebrated in the sacraments, with particular attention to the sacrament of holy orders (ordination) and the laying on of hands. Apostolic Succession is the belief of Catholic Christians that the bishops are successors of the original apostles of Jesus. This is understood as the bishops being ordained into the episcopal collegium or “sacramental order.” As bishops are by tradition consecrated by at least three other bishops, the actual number of lists of succession can become quite substantial. Listed here are three lines of succession: 1. From Saints Paul and Linus Succession through Archbishop Baladad 2. -
Introduction to the 2018 Convocation for Restoration
Introduction to the 2018 Convocation for Restoration and Renewal of the Undivided Church: Through a renewed Catholicity – Dublin, Ireland – March 2018 The Polish National Catholic Church and the Declaration and Union of Scranton by the Very Rev. Robert M. Nemkovich Jr. The Polish National Catholic Church promulgated the Declaration of Scranton in 2008 to preserve true and genuine Old Catholicism and allow for a Union of Churches that would be a beacon for and home to people of all nations who aspire to union with the pristine faith of the undivided Church. The Declaration of Scranton “is modeled heavily on the 1889 Declaration of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches. This is true not only in its content, but also in the reason for its coming to fruition.”1 The Polish National Catholic Church to this day holds the Declaration of Utrecht as a normative document of faith. To understand the origins of the Declaration of Utrecht we must look back not only to the origin of the Old Catholic Movement as a response to the First Vatican Council but to the very see of Utrecht itself. “The bishopric of Utrecht, which until the sixteenth century had been the only bishopric in what is now Dutch territory, was founded by St. Willibrord, an English missionary bishop from Yorkshire.”2 Willibrord was consecrated in Rome by Pope Sergius I in 696, given the pallium of an archbishop and given the see of Utrecht by Pepin, the Mayor of the Palace of the Merovingian dynasty. Utrecht became under Willibrord the ecclesiastical capital of the Northern Netherlands. -
John Farley (D
John Farley (d. 1464) and the Finessing of MS 281 In spite of having suffered the loss of three illuminated leaves, MS 281 in the College Library remains a refined object. It contains a copy of Ptolemy’s Almagesta in the translation of Gerard of Cremona, written in England in a steady gothic bookhand, for which a date around the third quarter of the thirteenth century may be suggested. Ample margins were left open for the text’s diagrams and tables, which are mostly present, and there is quite an extensive, coeval gloss. Space was also left for decorated initials—but artists for these were not found until nearly two centuries later. When a date for the manuscript has been suggested in the scholarly literature, the tension between the script and the illumination, both pulling in opposite directions, has led opinion to cluster somewhere in the middle. Coxe, in what was the first published description of the manuscript, suggested that it belonged to the late fourteenth century (‘s. xiv exeuntis’).1 Dates have been offered in more recent times by scholars whose interest was the text itself: Paul Kunitzsch (‘14. Jh.’), followed by Henry Zepeda (‘fourteenth century’), and David Juste (‘s. xiv’).2 Richard Hunt had in fact already spotted that the script and decoration belong to different periods, in his essay in the College’s sexcentenary volume.3 Both text and decoration have distinct interest. The marginal apparatus, added in a small Anglicana hand not long after the main scribe’s work, presents as a gloss on the text excerpts taken from Almagesti minor.4 Zepeda noted that our manuscript shares a close connection in these notes with one other copy, in the Laurentian Library in Florence, MS Plut. -

A, Denton, Texas January, 1969 PREFACE Pope Plus IX, on September 29» 1850, published the letters apostolic Universalis Sccleslae. creating a terri- torial hierarchy for English Roman Catholics. For the first time since 1559» bishops obedient to Rome ruled over dioceses styled after English place names rather than over districts named for points of the compass# and bore titles derived from their sees rather than from extinct Levantine cities« The decree meant, moreover, that6 in the Vati- k can s opinionc England had ceased to be a missionary area and was ready to take its place as a full member of the Roman Catholic communion. When news of the hierarchy reached London in the mid- dle of October, Englishmen protested against it with unexpected zeal. Irate protestants held public meetings to condemn the new prelates» newspapers cried for penal legislation* and the prime minister, hoping to strengthen his position, issued a public letter in which he charac- terized the letters apostolic as an "insolent and insidious"1 attack on the queen's prerogative to appoint bishops„ In 1851» Parliament, despite the determined op- position of a few Catholic and Peellte members, enacted the Ecclesiastical Titles Act, which imposed a ilOO fine on any bishop who used an unauthorized territorial title, ill and permitted oommon informers to sue a prelate alleged to have violated the act. -
The Canterbury Association
The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry. -

Bishop of Bath and Wells 1466-91
The Register' of Robert Stillington, Bishop of Bath and Wells 1466-91 WILLIAM J. CONNOR This paper‘ seeks to show how the register dompiled for Robert Stillington, for twenty-five years bishop of Bath and Wells in the late fifteenth century, contributes to the understanding of the decoration of administrative documents in this period. It was largely compiled under the supervision of Hugh Sugar who, as vicar-general, was responsible for much of the routine administration of the diocese. He evidently encouraged the pen work embellishments, which are such a striking feature of this volume, and seems to have employed an artist whose only other known work appears in manuscripts commissioned by the previous bishop, Thomas Beckington. This links Stillington’s register directly to the academic elite of Winchester and New College, Oxford, and the culture of the Yorkist court. _ Dubbed re ”mumz': éué‘que by his French contemporary, Philippe de Commines,2 Robert Stillington enjoyed a colourful career. Probably born in Yorkshire c. 1410, he first appears in the records as a doctor of civil law at Oxford in 1443, by which time he was also a proctor of Lincoln College and principal of Deep Hall. At thispoint, probably already in his thirties, he embarked on the official and ecclesiastical career for which he is now remembered. A protégée of Thomas Beckington, the recently consecrated bishop of Bath and Wells, he was appointed as Beckington’s chancellor and to a prebend in Wells Cathedral in 1445, but not: ordained priest there until 1447. We then find him on a diplomatic mission to Burgundy in 1448 and as a royal councillor a year later. -

Nicholas Dixon November 2018 ii Thesis Summary The Activity and Influence of the Established Church in England, c. 1800-1837 Nicholas Andrew Dixon Pembroke College, Cambridge This thesis examines the various ways in which the Church of England engaged with English politics and society from c. 1800 to 1837. Assessments of the early nineteenth-century Church of England remain coloured by a critique originating in radical anti-clerical polemics of the period and reinforced by the writings of the Tractarians and Élie Halévy. It is often assumed that, in consequence of social and political change, the influence of a complacent and reactionary church was irreparably eroded by 1830. -
PRO PERFIDIS JUDAEIS JOHN M. OESTERREICHER Mankattanville College of the Sacred Heart
PRO PERFIDIS JUDAEIS JOHN M. OESTERREICHER Mankattanville College of the Sacred Heart f\N GOOD Friday, the Church solemnly intercedes for all within and ^ without her fold. Among her petitions is one for the Jewish people. Oremus et pro perfidis Judaeis: ut Deus et Dominus noster auf erat velamen de cordibus eorum; ut et ipsi agnoscant Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum. Non respondetur Amen, nee dicitur Oremus, aut Flectamus genua, aut Levate, sed statim dicitur: Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui etiam Judaicam perfidìam a tua misericordia non repellis: exaudí preces nostras, quas pro illiuspopuli obcaecatione deferimus; ut, agnita veritatis tuae luce, quae Christus est, a suis tenebris eruantur. Per eumdem Dominum. Amen. This is the text given in the Roman Missal. Two problems arise in regard to this prayer: the meaning of perfidia and perfidus, and the significance of the rubric directing certain omissions. THE MEANING OF "PERFIDIA" The St. Andrew Missal in its 1927 edition reads: "Let us pray for the perfidious Jews"; in the edition of 1943, this is changed to: "Let us pray for the faithless Jews." Father Lasance's Missal of 1935 speaks of the "unfaithful Jews" and of "Jewish faithlessness." The Missal of Fathers Callan and McHugh gives in all editions the render ing "perfidious Jews." Father Stedman's Lenten Missal {1941) translates: "Let us pray for the unbelieving Jews." It is our contention that perfidus denotes neither "perfidious" nor "faithless" nor "unfaithful" in their present connotations, but "un believing" or "disbelieving." The liturgy does not pass moral judg ments, nor would it label the Jews "treacherous" or "wicked." In saying perfidia judaica, the Church mourns Israel's disbelief in Christ, holding that from Abraham's children, least of all, would one expect Isuch refusal of faith. -
