The extensive timelines have been broken into ten stages, drawing attention to a number of periods and reasons in the history of those eras for the unique experience of vernacular liturgy and the issues connected with it in the Western Catholic Church of our time. The role and function of International Committee of English in the Liturgy (ICEL) over its forty year existence still has a major impact on the way we worship in English. This article deals with the restructuring of ICEL which had been the centre of much controversy in recent years and now operates under different protocols.

ROME 2015 IV SUPERIORS GENERAL 1952-1988 BROTHERS JOSAPHAT 1952-1964 V INTRODUCTION With great joy I present to all the partners in our mission – brothers, laypeople, and others – the history of our Superiors Gen- eral during the period from 1952 to 1988: Brothers Josaphat (Joseph Vanier), Jules (Gaston Ledoux), Maurice Ratté and Jean- Charles Daigneault. This history is meant as a remembrance, a grateful recognition, and an encouragement. In the first place, it is meant as a remem- brance, profoundly rooted in our spirit and in our heart, full of es- teem toward each one of them. We remember them especially for their human and spiritual greatness and their closeness to God. We recall their remarkable service of authority in the animation of their brothers and in the revitalization of the prophetic mission of our In- stitute on behalf of young people, particularly those most in need. Calling to mind the lives and the works of our brothers, we thank the God of all goodness for the magnificent gifts which he placed in each of them. In doing so, we recognize the evangelical wisdom of our protagonists, who throughout their life knew how to multiply the talents they had received. Our brothers experienced the joy of feeling loved by God. He wanted them to know the depth of his divine love toward all hu- manity and toward each one of them personally.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Christ and the Triumphant Victims: Relics and the Altar in the Ordo dedicationis ecclesiae et altaris A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Suzanne Sarah Herold Washington, DC 2016 Christ and the Triumphant Victims: Relics and the Altar in the Ordo dedicationis ecclesiae et altaris Suzanne Sarah Herold, Ph.D. Director: Michael G. Witczak, S.L.D. This dissertation examines the use of relics in the Ordo dedicationis ecclesiae et altaris in light of the Second Vatican Council’s liturgical theology. The dissertation utilizes the method described by Kevin Irwin in Context and Text. The dissertation begins with a historical study of the extant rites of dedication of a church. It studies how the rite of dedication developed and how relics became a required element of the ritual, including the translation, vigil and deposition of relics. The work looks at the meanings associated with relics as well as the perceived relationship between relics and the altar. Beginning with the Medieval period, relics were understood to be necessary for dedication, with the celebration of Mass a festive completion of the rite. Rites of dedication include the deposition of relics as a central ritual moment from the fourth century through the middle of the twentieth century. Through historical study, the use of Conciliar documents, and the examination of the role of relics in the schemata of the Consilium, this dissertation presents an analysis of the shifts in the understanding regarding the dedication of a church.

  • An Open Letter to Good Catholics Everywhere the Case for Sedevacantism
    An Open Letter to Good Catholics Everywhere The Case for Sedevacantism Sedevacantism is the position, held by a minority of traditionalist Catholics, that the alleged present occupant of the Holy See is not truly pope, due to the mainstream church's espousal of the heresy of modernism, and that, for lack of a valid pope, the Holy See has been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958. I am merely a lifelong Catholic who fell away from the church in my late teens, and remained out of the church for 40 years. Eleven years ago, I found my faith again, and I have been trying to save as many other lapsed Catholics, as well as anyone else, who can see the light. I suppose anyone who stumbles upon this letter, might assume that I am a 'church hater'. No, no, I love the church. I am trying to save it. Catholic Church teaching thru the centuries has taught that there would be tremendous Apostasy, in the last days. Even the Church Catechism teaches that Apostasy would be the Church's enemy, in the last days. Apostasy is the abandonment or rejection of one's faith. It's happening now, and for the last 50 years, and at an alarming rate. Good Catholics, who go to Mass every Sunday, have no idea that this is happening. The highest leadership of the Catholic Church has been infiltrated by Freemasonry, a secret society that has been an enemy of the Church for centuries, because of their long-stated goal of destroying the Roman Catholic Church.

  • The Bishop's Role of Pastoral Governance
    The Bishop’s Role of Pastoral Governance: Its Interpretation and Reception by the Magisterium since Vatican II Submitted for the Degree Doctorate in Philosophy By Paul G. Gadie Supervisor: Dr. Eugene Duffy Submitted to the University of Limerick, March 2015 Abstract Author: Paul G. Gadie Title: The Bishop’s Role of Pastoral Governance since Vatican II: Its Subsequent Interpretation and Reception by the Magisterium This thesis will assess the interpretation and reception of the bishop’s role of pastoral governance by the Magisterium since the Second Vatican Council (1962- 65). Historically, this episcopal role had been increasingly restricted from the Council of Trent (1545-63) to the First Vatican Council (1869-70). Due to Vatican I’s premature end only papal governance was legislated for. Subsequently, the increasing dominance of the Roman School of Theology and of Ultramontanism located the exercise of Church governance in the Pope and the Roman Curia. While the bishop exercised a small measure of governance within his diocese, he was portrayed as the local Church manager of the universal Church. Vatican II defined a new and more expanded role of episcopal governance, expressed in a pastoral mode. Vatican II described episcopal governance of the local Church, but also of the universal Church, shared with and always under the leadership of the Pope. Using a hermeneutical approach suggested by Ormond Rush, three key Vatican II documents will be analysed to reveal the process of authorship and their understanding of episcopal governance. Rush’s hermeneutics will also help to analyse the reception of episcopal pastoral governance after the Council.

  • Appunti Per Una Storia Del Papato Scritti Da Un Internauta Per Internauti Del XXI Secolo
    Volume Terzo: dal 1878 al 1978 Appunti per una storia del Papato scritti da un internauta per internauti del XXI secolo. Alle mie lettrici Ai miei lettori 2 CAPITOLO 36 DAL 1878 AL 1903 Uno dei pochi Papi non beatificati o canonizzati, dal 1846 ad oggi, è invece uno dei più importanti, sia per la lunghezza del Pontificato (più di 25 anni) sia per le problematiche religiose, sociali e politiche affrontate. Praticamente tutte quelle che emergono nelle società moderne. Inoltre tanto di lui ancora c’è nelle vene della Chiesa d’oggi, perché molti cattolici, compreso chi scrive, hanno avuto docenti o semplicemente degli anziani in famiglia che li hanno istruiti sulla Fede, essendo nati ai tempi di Papa Pecci. È anche il primo Papa filmato e registrato della storia e ancora oggi possiamo, per qualche secondo, vederlo benedire nei Giardini Vaticani (simile per età, magrezza, difficoltà di deambulazione e vestiario all’attuale Papa Emerito) o ascoltare la sua voce profonda pregare l’Ave Maria pochi mesi prima di morire. A livello di rispetto della Tradizione nulla cambia rispetto a Pio IX: la differenza è che Leone XIII, uomo di vasta cultura, grande latinista e tomista, ma soprattutto uomo dalla Fede rocciosa e semplice insieme, era interessato a tutto ciò che il mondo moderno stava vivendo, come pure a tutto ciò che si stava muovendo a livello ecclesiale, specie nella base. Egli essenzialmente cerca di dare una risposta cattolica, in alternativa alle altre proposte ideologiche e politiche, che teme possano traviare la mente e i cuori dei fedeli a lui affidati.
