If a person serving on a jury in a murder trial voted guilty, would he be eligible for Holy Orders? Yes. Under Canon 931, those who incur an impediment for Holy Orders for their part in capital punishment are only the judge who pronounced sen­ tence and the executioner and his assistants who assumed this office of their own volition. This irregularity is by no means to be construed as indicating the Church’s opposition to capital pun­ If Mary Is Not Mother ishment. It merely expresses a fact of decorum, namely, that one who takes the part of the meek Christ, who raised not a hand to protect Himself, should also not have shed blood, even innocently.

THE INTRIGUING QUESTION Invitation to Dr Theodor Herzl to attend Audience with Pope Pius X On 25 January 1904, the Feast of the Conversion of St Paul, the recently-elected Pope Pius X granted an Audience in the Vatican Palace to Dr Theodor Herzl, leader of the Zionist movement, and heard his plea for papal approval for the Zionist project for a Jewish national home in Palestine. Dr Herzl outlined to the Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church the full details of the Zionist project, providing assurances that the various Holy Places in Palestine would be “ex-territorialised” to ensure their security and protection, and sought the Pope’s endorsement and support, preferably through the issuing of a pro-Zionist encyclical.

  • The Ecclesiastical Coat of Arms Of
    The Ecclesiastical Coat of Arms of Roderick O. Ford, D.Div, D.Litt., J.D. © The Ecclesiastical Coat of Arms of Roderick O. Ford, Esq. , adopted in 2013, is a symbol of his Christian philosophy of law, theology, and government, as well as his conception of the role of Christian lawyers within the Anglo-American common-law tradition. This Coat of Arms was jointly designed in 2013 by graphic artists Patricia Stephens (Tampa, Florida), Gerald Ivey (Atlanta, Georgia), and a heraldry design company in the United Kingdom. It was extracted from Medieval Church tradition, particularly the Roman, English, and Orthodox Church traditions. It thus reflects the traditional orthodox viewpoint that the Truth of Christ (i.e., the “Law of Reason,”1 “Law of Faith,” “Law of Love,” and “Equity”) is the foundation of Secular Jurisprudence. The Top of the Coat of Arms represents the Profession of Law and the Sovereignty of Justice as the Foundation for the Secular Government and Jurisprudence. It is placed on Top, because its Foundations are deeply rooted in the Church and the Sacred Scriptures, which are reflected in the Middle and Bottom portions of the Coat of Arms. The Middle of the Coat of Arms represents the Office of the Ordained Clergy in general. The Ecclesiastical Hat is the Traditional Reflection of the Roman or Latin galero, which was originally the Pilgrim’s hat, like a sombrero. The Book, that is beneath the Ecclesiastical Hat, reflects the Sacred Scriptures; this Book is also a symbol for Christian Theology as the Queen of all the Sciences, the Christian University, and Christian Scholarship, Wisdom, and Virtue.
