  • Elections to the Conciliar Commissions
    THE ELECTIONS TO THE CONCILIAR COMMISSIONS On Saturday, October 13th, the Council met for its first working-session. The agenda was the election of 160 bishops to serve on the ten conciliar commissions. Each commission was to have 24 members, sixteen elected by the bishops, with the other eight members appointed by the Pope.1 The agenda had hardly been explained by Archbishop Felici, however, when Cardinal Liénart (Lille) took the microphone. Liénart pointed out that, despite their best efforts, many of the bishops did not know one another well enough to be able to choose members for the commissions. He then proposed that the session be devoted to studying methods for a better knowledge of each other with a view to the elections. He suggested also that the Episcopal Conferences meet and solicit three or four names for each commission. These lists could then be distributed to the Fathers, and they could vote on the basis of the lists. This intervention was twice interrupted by applause. Cardinal Frings (Cologne) immediately seconded the motion, adding that he spoke also for Cardinals Döpfner (Berlin) and König (Vienna) and proposing that the elections be postponed until the following Tuesday. He too was applauded. The Council of Presidents conferred for a few minutes while the aula buzzed. Archbishop Felici then announced that the petition was accepted (applause) and that the Episcopal Conferences should have their lists in by Monday, so that the vote could be taken on Tuesday (applause).2 According to Falconi, the whole session lasted only fourteen minutes,3 and Archbishop Hallinan compared it to a recent prize fight in which Sonny Liston had knocked an opponent out in the first seconds of the fight!4 The move apparently took many people by surprise.

  • Lumen Gentium Annotated
    Lumen Gentium Annotated an examination of the hundreds of errors contained in this momentous document which turned the tide of the modernist revolution in the Catholic Church By the editors of Quanta Cura Press ©TM This book is dedicated to St. Thomas Aquinas, who is the Common Doctor of the Catholic Church, and whose writings are the vaccine (as well as antidote) against the pandemic modernism which has infected the Church, including Her hierarchy at the highest levels. ii “[C]ertain it is that the passion for novelty is always united in [the modernists] with hatred of scholasticism [i.e ., the philosophy and theology of St. Thomas Aquinas], and there is no surer sign that a man is on the way to Modernism than when he begins to show his dislike for [the scholastic] system .” Pope St. Pius X, Pascendi Dominici Gregis , 1907, ¶42 (emphasis added) . “Thomas refutes the theories propounded by Modernists in every sphere …. Modernists are so amply justified in fearing no Doctor of the Church so much as Thomas Aquinas.” Pope Pius XI, Studiorum Ducem , ¶27.

  • Catholic Flashback: Remembering the 1978 Election of Pope St. John Paul II
    Catholic Flashback: Remembering the 1978 election of Pope St. John Paul II October 16, 1978: The first balcony appearance of newly-elected Pope John Paul II (CNS File Photo) Where were you on October 16, 1978? I was between classes at college in Philadelphia when word came through the hallways that white smoke had been seen coming from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. After three days of waiting, we finally had a new pope! I rushed to turn on my tiny black and white TV, and watched as the crowds grew in St. Peter’s Square while commentators speculated as to which Italian cardinal might become the 264th leader of the Roman Catholic Church. I will never forget the announcement in Latin that Cardinal Karol Jozef Wojtyla (1920-2005), at age 58, had been elected as the 263rd successor of St. Peter the Apostle. The news commentators were struggling to figure out who he was, from which country he came, and how to pronounce his name. You see, Pope John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. Those reporting on the conclave from both the Catholic and secular press were all assuming that this new pontiff would also be Italian. Instead, the College of Cardinals elected the Archbishop of Krakow, Poland, who had served in that position since 1963 and who was named a cardinal by Pope Paul VI in 1967. Ten interesting facts about the election of Pope John Paul II: 1. The Year of Three Popes: This was the second time in less than eight weeks that Catholics from around the world gathered in front of our televisions to learn the outcome of a papal election.

  • Michael Costigan*
    VATICAN II AS I EXPERIENCED IT Michael Costigan* A memorable Roman autumn Autumn is an enchanting time in Rome. By October the relentless heat of July and August, from which many of the Romans themselves flee, is only an uncomfortable memory. The days are shorter, often blessed by cloudless skies, with mild sunshine enhancing the golden glow of some of the ancient and modern buildings, especially in the late afternoon. The Romans, including the Pope and his court, have returned, the number of tourists has declined, the schools and universities are open for business and hot roasted chestnuts are on sale at street corners – or used to be in my day. After living through nine Roman autumns as a seminarian and student- priest between 1952 and 1961, I welcomed the chance in 1963 to experience one more of those magical seasons, probably my last and certainly the most memorable of all. I was there that year for the second of the four autumnal sessions of the Second Vatican Council, as a priest-reporter commissioned to cover the event for the Melbourne Catholic Advocate, of which I was the Associate Editor, as well as for three other Australian Catholic weekly newspapers. With the Australian Catholic Historical Society marking the 50th anniversary this year of the opening of Vatican II by making that event the theme of several of the monthly papers scheduled for 2012, the Society’s President suggested I help to set the scene by painting a picture of what it was actually like to be at the Council. My writings and diary My memory of the 77 days I spent in Rome during that autumn is aided by the voluminous reports I mailed back to Australia and by a pamphlet subsequently published by the Australian Catholic Truth Society with the title Vatican Council Survey, in which I summarised those reports.1 In addition, I kept a rough diary in an exercise book in which, usually before retiring late at night, I noted my daily activities in and around the Council.

  • 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.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA the Theological Justification for the Establishment of the Pontifical Commission for Justice
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Theological Justification for the Establishment of the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace ( Iustitia et pax) 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 Sacred Theology © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Andrew Small Washington, D.C. 2010 The Theological Justification for the Establishment of the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace ( Iustitia et pax) Rev. Andrew Small, OMI, LL.M., S.T.D. Director: Rev. Brian V. Johnstone, C.SS.R., S.T.D. A central tenet of the aggiornamento undertaken by the Second Vatican Council was the Church’s role in and relationship to the modern world. Pope John XXIII’s call for a “pastoral” Council reached a new level of intensity in the Council’s debates on the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et spes . As if to acknowledge the inchoate nature of the Church’s new vision for its role in the world, the Pastoral Constitution mandated creation of a new organism of the universal Church that would extend reflection and action on the Church’s social engagement beyond the Council. This mandate, contained in article 90 of Gaudium et spes would become the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace. This dissertation examines the history and theological foundations of the process leading to this decision, focusing on the development of the theology of the Church’s relationship with the world during the Council itself and the immediate aftermath.
