(Cf. L'Ossenvatore Romano, 21 December 2001, p. 1) GENERAL CURIA Rome, July 1, 2001 To the Visitors of the Congregation of the Mission My very dear Confreres, May the grace of Our Lord be always with you! As I mentioned during our meeting in Dublin, I am enacting, in accord with Article 107, 2", and with the unanimous consent of' the members of the General Council, a general ordinance applicable in all of the provinces of the Congregation. The ordinance reads as follows: In each province of the Congregation of the Mission a finance committee will be established . It shall be presided over by the provincial superior or his delegate. It shall he composed of the provincial treasurer and at least three other members , knowledgeable in financial matters and the related portions of civil law, some of whom may be lay persons. It shall have an advisory role, offering recommendations to the provincial and the members of his council . The members of the finance committee shall be appointed by the provincial for a three-year term, which is renewable. The enclosed document, which 1 hope you will find useful, sets the ordinance in a broader context; namely, the proper administration of the temporal goods of the Congregation, which are the "patrimony of the poor" (C. 148 § 1) and the need for great transparency in rendering accounts of the receipts and expenditures of our houses, provinces, and the Congregation as a whole, as well as about the status of our patrimony. I ask you to examine this document carefully with the members of your council and, if you have not already done so, to establish a finance conunittee by January I, 2002. 448 R. P. Maloney During the next General Assembly, we will have the opportunity to evaluate the functioning of such committees. With all of the members of the General Council , I hope that they will be of great help to the provinces in administering our goods well and in avoiding some of the serious problems which have arisen in recent years. Your brother in St. Vincent Robert P. Maloney, C.M. Superior General Finance Committee 449 Some Norms for the Financial Administration of the Provinces of the Congregation of the Mission Our Constitutions (Articles 148-155) and Statutes (Articles 75-77 and 100-107) speak at length about the administration of the goods of the Congregation. The Practical Guide for the Visitor also speaks about this matter in considerable detail (§§ 240-247 and 309). 1 Our norms call us to great transparency in rendering accounts of the receipts and expenditures of our houses, provinces, and the Congregation as a whole, as well as about the status of our patrimony. In this light , for the future well-being of the Congregation and also , unfortunately, because abuses have arisen, I would like to call to mind the following norms of the Congregation: 1.1 The treasurers of the local houses are to present an account of the receipts and expenditures of the houses, as well as a report on the status of the houses' patrimony, once a month to the local superior. A signature of approval is to be affixed to the account, provided that it is found to be accurate (Statute 103 § 2). 1.2 The provincial treasurer is to present an account of the receipts and expenditures of the province, as well as a report on the status of the province's patrimony, twice a year to the provincial with his council. A signature of approval is to be affixed to the account, provided that it is found to be accurate (Statute 103 § 2). 1.3 Members entrusted with the administration of special works of either a province or a house shall submit an account of the receipts and expenditures to their respective superiors at the time and in the manner determined by provincial norms (Statute 103 § 3). 2. In order to foster the proper administration of temporal goods and to obtain broader financial advice, Canon 1280 requires that every juridic person have a finance council.' 'Canon 1280 : Each juridic person is to have its own finance council or at least tu•o advisors, it-ho according to the norm of its statutes assist the administrator in earning out his or her function. Cf. also: Canon 492 § 1: In each diocese a finance council is to be established by the bishop, over which he himself or his delegate presides, and which is to be composed of at least three members of the Christian faithful truuly skilled in financial affairs as well as in the civil law, of outstanding integrity and appointed by the bishop.

    The Magisterium of the Faculty of Theology of Paris in the Seventeenth Century

    Theological Studies 53 (1992) THE MAGISTERIUM OF THE FACULTY OF THEOLOGY OF PARIS IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY JACQUES M. GRES-GAYER Catholic University of America S THEOLOGIANS know well, the term "magisterium" denotes the ex­ A ercise of teaching authority in the Catholic Church.1 The transfer of this teaching authority from those who had acquired knowledge to those who received power2 was a long, gradual, and complicated pro­ cess, the history of which has only partially been written. Some sig­ nificant elements of this history have been overlooked, impairing a full appreciation of one of the most significant semantic shifts in Catholic ecclesiology. One might well ascribe this mutation to the impetus of the Triden­ tine renewal and the "second Roman centralization" it fostered.3 It would be simplistic, however, to assume that this desire by the hier­ archy to control better the exposition of doctrine4 was never chal­ lenged. There were serious resistances that reveal the complexity of the issue, as the case of the Faculty of Theology of Paris during the seventeenth century abundantly shows. 1 F. A.

  • The Idea of Medieval Heresy in Early Modern France

    The Idea of Medieval Heresy in Early Modern France

    The Idea of Medieval Heresy in Early Modern France Bethany Hume PhD University of York History September 2019 2 Abstract This thesis responds to the historiographical focus on the trope of the Albigensians and Waldensians within sixteenth-century confessional polemic. It supports a shift away from the consideration of medieval heresy in early modern historical writing merely as literary topoi of the French Wars of Religion. Instead, it argues for a more detailed examination of the medieval heretical and inquisitorial sources used within seventeenth-century French intellectual culture and religious polemic. It does this by examining the context of the Doat Commission (1663-1670), which transcribed a collection of inquisition registers from Languedoc, 1235-44. Jean de Doat (c.1600-1683), President of the Chambre des Comptes of the parlement of Pau from 1646, was charged by royal commission to the south of France to copy documents of interest to the Crown. This thesis aims to explore the Doat Commission within the wider context of ideas on medieval heresy in seventeenth-century France. The periodization “medieval” is extremely broad and incorporates many forms of heresy throughout Europe. As such, the scope of this thesis surveys how thirteenth-century heretics, namely the Albigensians and Waldensians, were portrayed in historical narrative in the 1600s. The field of study that this thesis hopes to contribute to includes the growth of historical interest in medieval heresy and its repression, and the search for original sources by seventeenth-century savants. By exploring the ideas of medieval heresy espoused by different intellectual networks it becomes clear that early modern European thought on medieval heresy informed antiquarianism, historical writing, and ideas of justice and persecution, as well as shaping confessional identity.

Vincent de Paul and the Episcopate of France By PIERRE BLET, S.J. TRANSLATED BY FRANCES PROFFITT, D.C.* Historians of Saint Vincent de Paul, both past and present, have described how Anne ofAustria, the queen regent ofFrance, appointed the founder of the Congregation of the Mission to the Council of Conscience and thus put him in a position to have an influence on the naming of bishops. Without making any claim to utilizing new mate­ rial, much less exhausting the subject, I would like to clarify the matter somewhat. In this regard Pierre Coste has written: Thanks to Saint Vincent, many dioceses were governed by pastors animated with an apostolic zeal that formed a striking contrast with the worldliness of their seniors in the episcopacy. Let it suffice to name Lescot, of Chartres; Perrochel, of Boulogne; Caulet, of Pamiers; Habert, of Vabres; Bassompierre, of Oloron and then of Saintes; Liverdi, of Treguier; Sevin, of Sarlat and then of Cahors; Bosquet, of Lodeve and then of Montpellier, and Brandom, of Perigueux.' This assertion for the most part is justified.

Sa composition, qui recouvre tous les aspects de la recherche historique, en fait un des principaux instruments de travail pour tout chercheur œuvrant à l'histoire du Périgord. La collecte de documents originaux et le travail de copie, effectués par les différents érudits et chercheurs qui se succédèrent dans la composition de cette collection, ont abouti à constituer un fonds d'une ampleur exceptionnelle. Celui-ci comprend 183 volumes réunissant environ 51000 feuillets. Les Archives départementales de la Dordogne possèdent, sous la cote 1 Mi, les microfilms de tous les tomes, à l'exception des tomes n° 20, 21, 22, 108, 109, 111, 112 et 113, qui n'ont pas de rapport direct avec le Périgord. La recherche de documents n'est cependant pas aisée, la collection Périgord étant dépourvue de tables, et, en général, de tout classement. On peut cependant s'appuyer sur certains travaux de dépouillements et d'inventaires, et notamment ceux de Philippe de Bosredon2 et de Philippe Lauer3. Ces deux inventaires ne sont pas tout à fait complets mais restent complémentaires, l'un venant corriger les lacunes ou les imprécisions de l'autre.

    chap 2 22/3/04 12:12 pm Page 50 2 The most perfect state: French clerical reformers and episcopal status As a general council of the church, Trent offered a framework within which a resurgent catholicism could take shape. To a man, its delegates took it for granted that the clergy would lead the laity, and that bishops would supervise and govern all the faithful. While the conciliar decrees were designed to respond, therefore, to the specific abuses and inadequacies of contemporary religion, they drew equally on what were assumed to be eternally applicable principles of hierarchy and authority. The church had always possessed its lead- ers and its followers; that was both a practical necessity and God’s plan. Both had to be accommodated in permanent rules that would preserve the church until the end of time. While this projection of episcopal leadership was to pro- voke opposition from some quarters, many reformers rose to the challenges that it had identified by building on its platforms of hierarchy and reform. Lead- ing theologians and reformers embarked on extended explorations of what ‘reform’ meant and how it could be achieved within a hierarchical church. Their imprint could be seen before the end of the sixteenth century, but no one was to have more impact than the French reformers of the seventeenth century. This ‘school of priesthood’ developed a sacerdotal theology and training methods which were still standard sources for the formation of Catholic priests during the twentieth century; through the seventeenth and eighteenth cen- turies, its members’ understanding of the ministry was widely diffused both within and outside France and they gradually succeeded in implementing many of their aims for clerical renewal within the French church.

Translated by Stafford Poole, C. M. On October 4, 1981, Pope John Paul II beatified Alain de Solminihac, Bishop of Cahors from 1636 to 1659 and friend of Saint Vincent. I had the good fortune to be present at the ceremonies of beatification held in Saint Peter's Basilica. The name of Alain de Solminihac has to be familiar to anyone who has read Saint Vincent's writings. Coste's edition contains seven letters, written and signed by Saint Vincent and addressed to the new Beatus, and forty-seven signed by the Bishop of Cahors and addressed to Saint Vincent. To this correspondence must be added the other references to the Bishop of Cahors that Saint Vincent makes in other letters and in his conferences to the priests and Daughters.

Pisani Schede di approfondimento di argomenti generali GIANSENISMO Cornelius Jansen, Bishop of Ypres (Cornelius Jansenius Yprensis), from whom Jansenism derives its origin and name, must not be confounded with another writer and bishop of the same name Cornelius Jansenius Gandavensis (1510-1576), of whom we possess several books on Scripture and a valuable "Concordia Evangelica." Life and writings The subject of this article lived three-quarters of a century later than his namesake. He was born 28 October, 1585, of a Catholic family, in the village of Accoi, near Leerdam, Holland; died at Ypres, 6 May, 1638. His parents, although in moderate circumstances, secured for him an excellent education. They sent him first to Utrecht. In 1602 we find him at the University of Louvain, where he entered the College du Faucon to take up the study of philosophy. Here he passed two years, and at the solemn promotion of 1604 was proclaimed first of 118 competitors. To begin his theological studies he entered the College du Pape Adrien VI, whose president, Jacques Janson, imbued with the errors of Baius and eager to spread them, was to exert an influence on the subsequent course of his ideas and works. Having hitherto been on amicable terms with the Jesuits, he had even sought admission into their order. The refusal he experienced, the motives of which are unknown to us, seems not to be altogether unrelated to the aversion he subsequently manifested for the celebrated society, and for the theories and practices it championed.
