The Roman Catholic Community of Elizabeth, Glassport, South Allegheny Area, 213 One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic  Why a New Parish Name The Roman Catholic Community of Elizabeth, Glassport, South Allegheny Area, 213 One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Why a new parish name. While the new parish will receive a new name, each of our church buildings, Queen of the Rosary Church, Saint Eugene Church, and Saint Michael Church, will retain its current name (the name under which it was consecrated). A parish is a geographic area with people and a priest(s). Churches are sacred buildings designated for divine worship. Saint Eugene Church, Saint Michael Church and Queen of the Rosary Church will retain their names. In January 2021, our three Churches will come together to form a new Parish, the geographical area of Elizabeth, Forward, Glassport, Liberty, Lincoln, Port Vue, etc. (basically the area made up of the Elizabeth-Forward and South Allegheny School Districts), hence the need for a new parish name.

  • Apostolic Lines of Succession-10-2018
    Apostolic Lines of Succession for ++Michael David Callahan, DD, OCR, OCarm. The Catholic Church in America “Have you an apostolic succession? Unfold the line of your bishops.” Tertullian, 3rd century A.D. A special visible expression of Apostolic Succession is given in the consecration/ ordination of a bishop through the laying on of hands by other bishops who have, themselves, been ordained in the same manner through a succession of bishops leading back to the apostles of Jesus. The role of the bishop must always be understood within the context of the authentic handing on of the faith from one generation to the next generation of the whole Church, beginning with the Christian community of the time of the Apostles. Thus, as the Church is the continuation of the apostolic community, so the bishops are the continuation of the ministry of the college of the apostles of Jesus within that apostolic community. It is essentially collegial rather than monarchical. This tradition is affirmed in the teaching ministry of Church leadership, and authentically celebrated in the sacraments, with particular attention to the sacrament of holy orders (ordination) and the laying on of hands. Apostolic Succession is the belief of Catholic Christians that the bishops are successors of the original apostles of Jesus. This is understood as the bishops being ordained into the episcopal collegium or “sacramental order.” As bishops are by tradition consecrated by at least three other bishops, the actual number of lists of succession can become quite substantial. Listed here are three lines of succession: 1. From Saints Paul and Linus Succession through Archbishop Baladad 2.

  • Perjury and False Witness in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages
    Perjury and False Witness in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages by Nicholas Brett Sivulka Wheeler A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Nicholas Brett Sivulka Wheeler 2018 Perjury and False Witness in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages Nicholas Brett Sivulka Wheeler Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation, ‘Perjury and False Witness in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages’, investigates changing perceptions of perjury and false witness in the late antique and early medieval world. Focusing on primary sources from the Latin-speaking, western Roman empire and former empire, approximately between the late third and seventh centuries CE, this thesis proposes that perjury and false witness were transformed into criminal behaviours, grave sins, and canonical offences in Latin legal and religious writings of the period. Chapter 1, ‘Introduction: The Problem of Perjury’s Criminalization’, calls attention to anomalies in the history and historiography of the oath. Although the oath has been well studied, oath violations have not; moreover, important sources for medieval culture – Roman law and the Christian New Testament – were largely silent on the subject of perjury. For classicists in particular, perjury was not a crime, while oath violations remained largely peripheral to early Christian ethical discussions. Chapter 2, ‘Criminalization: Perjury and False Witness in Late Roman Law’, begins to explain how this situation changed by documenting early possible instances of penalization for perjury. Diverse sources such as Christian martyr acts, provincial law manuals, and select imperial ii and post-imperial legislation suggest that numerous cases of perjury were criminalized in practice.

    Archivo Teológico Granadino 67 (2004) 231-421 BIBLIOGRAFÍA I. BOLETÍN DE HISTORIA DE LA TEOLOGÍA EN EL PERÍODO 1500-1800 Autores Acosta, José de SASTRE, E., Gli “altri” visti dal missionario gesuita Padre José de Acosta (1600): Euntes Docete 56 (2003) 189-208. Este estudio pretende mostrar un ejemplo de aproximación a “los otros”, a los pueblos de las diversas Indias, a finales del siglo XVI. Se basa en el análisis de las dos célebres obras de Acosta, Historia natural y moral de las Indias y De procuranda indorum salute. Expone primero la visión de “los otros” en la perspectiva misionera de Acosta, los tres géneros de “otros” en las Indias, orientales y occidentales: los primeros, más civilizados, como eran los chinos, japoneses y otros de India oriental, los segundos, los que sin haber alcanzado la escritura, ni los conocimientos civiles, tienen su organización social, como eran los mejicanos, peruanos, y la tercera clase, bárbaros, que se diferencian poco de los animales, como eran muchos del Brasil, Florida, y también en Molucas e islas Salomón. Indica luego la diversa manera de llevarles a ellos el evangelio Por último, el autor indica brevemente algunos apuntes de Acosta sobre el modo de evangelizar a la segunda y tercera clase de “otros”, y la imagen del obispo y del misionero indianos.

La Congregación para la doctrina de la fe ha declarado que «no se puede afirmar que existan verdaderos errores doctrinales y herejías en la Mística Ciudad de Dios», pero añade que «la presentación que se hace en esa obra de la figura de la Madre de Dios contrasta con la que nos ofrece la Sagrada Escritura y no es compatible con la mariología desarrollada por el Concilio Vaticano II».

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Facing the Emergence of the Modern Middle East: Benedict XV’s Diplomacy in Greater Syria (Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine) 1914-1922 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 Agnes Aupepin de Lamothe-Dreuzy Washington, D.C. 2012 Facing the Emergence of the Modern Middle East: Benedict XV’s Diplomacy in Greater Syria (Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine) 1914-1922 Agnes Aupepin de Lamothe-Dreuzy, Ph.D. Director: Jacques M. Gres-Gayer, STD, Ph.D. Pope Benedict XV’s pontificate (1914-1922), misunderstood by his contemporaries and neglected by recent scholarship, coincides with the reshaping of the Middle East, from the beginning of World War One to the assignment of Mandates to France and Britain over Syria and Palestine. This study examines Benedict XV’s diplomacy in Greater Syria. Its unique aspect resides in the combination of two approaches. Benedict’s main priority was to ensure the survival of Christians in the Middle East, providing them with a dynamic ecclesiological structure. The pontiff completed and institutionalized the traditional ecclesiological approach in favor of unionism, with the goal to strengthen the ecclesial structures of the Eastern churches and equip them with solid legal foundations. This ecclesiological approach was integrated in Benedict XV’s global geo-political vision that shifted away from its past Eurocentric vision and was combined with an anticipation of the decolonization era. Benedict completed these guiding principles with a policy of emancipation of the missionary world from the bondage of colonial powers, preparing the Church for an active role in the world.

  • Loisy's Theological Development Valentine G
    LOISY'S THEOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT VALENTINE G. MORAN, S.J. Campion College, Victoria, Australia N DECEMBER 1903 the Congregation of the Holy Office added five I works of Alfred Loisy to its Index of Prohibited Books1 and made their author widely known. Up to this time the Abbé Loisy had written most of his articles and books for seminarians and priests, or for scholars engaged in his own field of biblical studies. He was hardly known to the general public of France; even the Catholic public had only recently begun to hear of him. He wrote about the Scriptures and the questions that critics, particularly in Germany, had been asking for over fifty years about their truth, authorship, and inspiration; and his readiness to accept many of the answers which the critics offered had put him squarely among a small group of Catholic scholars in Europe who wanted to adapt the Church's teaching to the contemporary world, to have the Church absorb, not reject, the results of scientific research that had a bearing on religion and especially on Christianity. Loisy's writing had caused trouble with his superiors before 1903. He had been forced to resign his chair of Scripture at the Institut Catholique of Paris in 1893; in 1900 the Archbishop of Paris forbade the Revue du clergé français2 to publish anything he wrote.3 By that time what had reached the clergy, especially the younger priests, was through them beginning to reach the laity, and the publication by Loisy of several radical articles between 1898 and 1903 caused controversy in the Catholic press.

  • Anglican Orders: a Report on the Evolving Context for Their Evaluation in the Roman Catholic Church
    USCCB > Beliefs And Teachings > Ecumenical And Interreligious > Ecumenical > Anglican ANGLICAN ORDERS: A REPORT ON THE EVOLVING CONTEXT FOR THEIR EVALUATION IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH INTRODUCTION The Anglican-Roman Catholic Consultation in the United States has since 1986 addressed the question of the evaluation by the Holy See of Anglican orders. In 1985 Jan Cardinal Willebrands, using a phrase taken from the ARCIC Final Report, had recognized that 'a new context' is now affecting the discussion of Anglican orders within the Roman Catholic Church because of the development of the thinking in the two Communions regarding the nature of the eucharist and ordained ministry. It has been the purpose of ARC-USA to discuss and to outline the positive dimensions of the 'new context'. We wish to underline at the outset the limits of this study. We have focused our attention on factors that seem most to encourage the reconciliation of our two Communions. Other observers may point to additional features of Anglican/Roman Catholic relationships in the last century, such as an interpretation of Apostolicæ Curæ as an infallible pronouncement of the Holy See, the encyclical Mortalium Animos of 1928, or the reluctance of some Anglicans to move toward belief in the eucharist celebration as a sacrifice. And there are recent developments which have been omitted from consideration in this statement, such as the ordination of women to the priesthood and episcopate within the Anglican Communion. No realistic observer can exclude these events for 'the new context'. Yet we have acted on the suggestion of Cardinal Willebrands in his 1985 letter that it is the negative judgment of Pope Leo XIII in Apostolicæ Curæ (1896) against the validity of Anglican ordinations that is still 'the most fundamental' issue that hinders the mutual recognition of ministries between the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion.
