The Bishop Secretaries with the help of other pastoral workers were charged with the responsibility of providing all relevant information for this directory. If, therefore, some information is missing, it is simply because it was not provided by those mandated to do so. The TEC Communications Directorate is grateful to all those who committed themselves to the assignment of providing information for the directory. Directory is never meant to be a permanent document as its information is subject to change regularly. Nevertheless, it is important for those involved in collecting information to have the courage to keep on renewing the present directory throughout the year so that when such information is required will be readily provided.

The Demand of Catholics in Transylvania for Their Own Church Province Since the fall of the Ceausescu regime, the 1948 Prohibition of the Greek Catholic Church in Romania has been lifted. The Roman Catholic Church, which had been until then tolerated outside of the law, has likewise obtained legal status. During the years of suppression, the Church had to struggle to maintain its very existence; now it is once again able to carry out freely its pastoral duties.

  • Transnationale Architekturen
    Christine Egger Transnationale Architekturen Benediktinermission, Räume und Repräsentationen Abstract: Transnational Architectures. Benedictine Missions, Spaces and Repre- sentations. Intending to combine missionary activity and monastic monk- hood, in 1884 the Missionary Benedictines of St. Ottilien were founded. From Bavaria the Congregation tried to take Christianity into the world, beginning in colonial „German East Africa“ (present-day Tanzania). Right from the start the Catholic mission society was a trans-local, trans-regional, and trans-nati- onal organisation. One activity demonstrated the complexity and ,efficacy‘ of its global network: building cathedrals and churches. The author offers the thesis, that sacral architecture was embedded within the – theoretically spea- king – ‚missionary space‘. It contributed aesthetically, mentally, spiritually and sensuously to an imagined community of the Benedictine missions. Key Words: Roman Catholic Church, Missionary Benedictines of St. Ottilien, Transnational History, Sacral Architecture, Missionary Spaces Einleitung „In der ganzen Apostelgeschichte ist nichts zu lesen, dass die Apostel Kir- chen gebaut haben oder Kirchenbausorgen hatten! […] Wie ich von daheim auszog und ins ‚Land der Heiden‘ ging, war unter meiner Ausrüstung auch ein kleiner Koffer. Darin war alles verstaut, was ein Pfarrer braucht, um die heilige Messe feiern zu können. ‚Sanduku la maagano‘ (Bundeslade) nennen unsere Christen diesen Koffer […]. Mit dieser ‚Bundeslade‘ bin ich nun schon viele Jahre im weiten Busch

  • Organizational Structures of the Catholic Church GOVERNING LAWS
    Organizational Structures of the Catholic Church GOVERNING LAWS . Canon Law . Episcopal Directives . Diocesan Statutes and Norms •Diocesan statutes actually carry more legal weight than policy directives from . the Episcopal Conference . Parochial Norms and Rules CANON LAW . Applies to the worldwide Catholic church . Promulgated by the Holy See . Most recent major revision: 1983 . Large body of supporting information EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE NORMS . Norms are promulgated by Episcopal Conference and apply only in the Episcopal Conference area (the U.S.) . The Holy See reviews the norms to assure that they are not in conflict with Catholic doctrine and universal legislation . These norms may be a clarification or refinement of Canon law, but may not supercede Canon law . Diocesan Bishops have to follow norms only if they are considered “binding decrees” • Norms become binding when two-thirds of the Episcopal Conference vote for them and the norms are reviewed positively by the Holy See . Each Diocesan Bishop implements the norms in his own diocese; however, there is DIOCESAN STATUTES AND NORMS . Apply within the Diocese only . Promulgated and modified by the Bishop . Typically a further specification of Canon Law . May be different from one diocese to another PAROCHIAL NORMS AND RULES . Apply in the Parish . Issued by the Pastor . Pastoral Parish Council may be consulted, but approval is not required Note: On the parish level there is no ecclesiastical legislative authority (a Pastor cannot make church law) EXAMPLE: CANON LAW 522 . Canon Law 522 states that to promote stability, Pastors are to be appointed for an indefinite period of time unless the Episcopal Council decrees that the Bishop may appoint a pastor for a specified time .
