    School of Theology - Seton Hall University file:///Volumes/Site%20Backups/theology%2020090910/lectures... TRENT AND ALL THAT FIFTY YEARS TRYING TO NAME IT John O'Malley - Weston Jesuit School of Theology Archbishop Gerety Lecture at Seton Hall University, March 25, 1998 I am delighted to have been invited to deliver the Archbishop Gerety Lecture in Ecclesiastical History at the School of Theology of Seton Hall University, and I want to thank you for having me come. I have put the Council of Trent in my title for this occasion for several reasons. The most fundamental is the intrinsic importance of the Council of Trent for the history of the Catholic church. The words Trent and Tridentine figure in all serious Catholic theological discourse, but they are also invoked outside academe, sometimes as battle cries, even by people who have never read a line of the council's decrees. The Council of Trent, as you know well, was an official gathering principally of Roman Catholic bishops, who met in the little town of Trent in northern Italy. Their meeting stretched out intermittently over eighteen years, 1545-63, and issued a volume of decrees dealing with a large number of issues related to Roman Catholic Church, to a great extent in response to Luther and other Protestant Reformers. Historians disagree about a lot of things and interpret events differently, but no historian has ever denied that Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, and King Henry VIII set off an explosion that rocked the history of Europe. Among other things, we are told, they were reacting to the degenerate state of the Catholic church, which was rotten with abuses.

As the first section, the introduction briefly reviews the current worldwide Charismatic-Pentecostal renewal which began in the U.S.A. about a century ago from the Catholic viewpoint. Apparently, this unprecedented renewal movement of the Holy Spirit is an extraordinary answer of Providence to the crisis of Christian faith adversely caused by modern secularization. Among others, one may say that this crisis principally consists in the severe lack of personal experience of the living God and His spectrum of charismata (a Greek word, the plural form of χαρισμα or charisma, meaning gifts in general1 ). Therefore, the second section seeks to explore succinctly the variegated spectrum of charismata in the Catholic Charismatic renewal. Systematically, this spectrum consists of six areas: (1) God the Uncreated Grace; (2) Sanctifying gifts or charismata of the Holy Spirit; (3) Nine-fold fruit of the Holy Spirit; (4) Charismatic gift-ministries of the Holy Spirit; (5) The Church as the Mystical Body of Christ; and (6) Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

  • Catholic Church Affirms Charismatic Renewal
    Catholic Church and Charismatic Renewal What has the Magisterium said about it? By David A. Peterman Ph.D. Provides summary and easy access to authoritative sources in English of the official position of the Catholic Church regarding the worldwide Catholic Charismatic Renewal and its Covenant Communities by tracing the historic development of this position over the past century through the official statements of the Popes and authorized bishops as the Renewal was birthed and has matured, especially in the past 20 years. Catholic Church and Charismatic Renewal by David A. Peterman Ph.D. INTRODUCTION This hyperlinked text is my attempt to provide an authoritative source in English of the official position of the Catholic Church regarding the worldwide Catholic Charismatic Renewal and its covenant communities. It will do so by tracing the historic development of this position over the past century as the Renewal was birthed and has matured, especially in the past 20 years. The approach is to present what the Catholic Magisterium has said, principally the popes and those bishops specifically authorized by them to relate to the Charismatic Renewal and its covenant communities. The text lists the events by date and provides easy hyperlink access to the available ecclesial publications, documents, speeches, addresses and talks given by our recent popes and the relevant bishops who have addressed this question.1 Many of these ecclesial statements were published in 2000 by the International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services (ICCRS) with the title: “Then Peter stood up…” (Cf. Acts 2:14). Compiled by ICCRS Director Oreste Pesare, it provided a printed collection of the papal addresses to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal from its origin in 1967 up to the beginning of 2000.2 This text both expands and extends these events to include the “New Communities” realities as referred to by the recent documents.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 0521602416 - The World of Catholic Renewal, 1540-1770 - Second Edition R. Po-chia Hsia Excerpt More information Introduction In a letter written in 1678, the Belgian Jesuit Ferdinand Verbiest, provin- cial of the China mission and future director of the Astronomy Bureau under the Qing emperor Kangxi, appealed to his fellow Jesuits in Europe: so many souls to be won, yet so few workers in the harvest. Painting a glorious picture of conversion, Verbiest described the arduous sea voyage from Europe to China, during which many missionaries met martyrdom in shipwreck. Those who reached China, Verbiest sighed, would look back to the ocean after a long labor of evangelization, longing for the glorious shipwreck that was not their fate. This rhetoric of heroism and self-dramatization, reminiscent of the lan- guage of the early Reformation, hints at the underlying unity between the histories of the Reformation and Catholicism in early modern Europe. Both sides claimed martyrs, compiled liturgies, and rewrote Church histories: the mirroring of images in a divided Christianity suggests devel- opments far more profound, far more complex than a simple contradis- tinction between the terms “Reformation” and “Counter-Reformation” would imply. This book represents an attempt to understand the Catholic side of that experience: it cannot pretend to offer a comprehensive his- tory of early modern Catholicism (that task is beyond the capacity of any single individual); it tries instead to offer an interpretation of the histor- ical events experienced in the Catholic lands of Europe and the wider world; and it navigates a path in the seemingly endless ocean of schol- arship (like Verbiest, I sometimes wished I had been shipwrecked en route).

  • A Preferential Option for the Spirit: the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Latin America’S New Religious Economy*
    A Preferential Option for the Spirit: The Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Latin America’s New Religious Economy* R. Andrew Chesnut University of Houston Department of History [email protected] Prepared for delivery at the 2000 meeting of the Latin American Studies Association, Hyatt Regency Miami, March 16-18, 2000 While Base Christian Communities (CEBs) struggle to maintain a presence throughout Latin America, a contemporaneous Catholic movement easily fills soccer stadiums in the major cities of the region with tens of thousands of fervent believers. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) stands as the largest and most dynamic movement in the Latin American church. Even leaders of the liberationist wing of the Catholic church, who often view Charismatics as alienated middle-class reactionaries, admit that no other ecclesial movement has the CCR’s power to congregate and mobilize the faithful. In Brazil the CCR’s popular appeal is not limited to the realm of the sacred. In 1999 the latest CD of samba- inspired religious music sung by the young star of the Brazilian CCR, Padre Marcelo Rossi, sold more copies than any other recording artist, including So Pra Contrariar (an immensely popular pagode band), in Latin America’s largest country.i At this point many readers with some acquaintance with the Latin American religious landscape must be wondering why the region’s most vibrant Catholic lay movement has received precious little academic attention. If the CCR’s popular appeal has yet to register among students of Latin American religion, it is because Liberation Theology and CEBs have captured the hearts and minds of many North and Latin American social scientists during the past quarter century.
