Moves to Get Cardinal to Leave UK for the Good of the Church No 5517 YOUR NATIONAL CATHOLICwww.sconews.co.uk NEWSPAPER SUPPORTS THE YEAR OF FAITH Friday May 10 2013 | £1 IONA CALLS AS ANNIVERSARIES APPROACH The cradle of Christianity in Scotland at risk after cuts By Ian Dunn THE museum devoted to the first Christian settlement in Scotland may be forced to close within months after Dumfries and Galloway Coun- cil cut its funding. Bishop John Cunningham of Gal- loway said it was extremely ‘sad’ that the Whithorn Trust, which runs the Whithorn museum and visitor centre and promotes the archaeology and heritage of the site where St Ninian established a church in 397 AD, is facing an £18,500 shortfall that means it may have to close its doors in August. Bishop Cunningham, whose diocese holds an annual pilgrimage to Whithorn, said the trust did a ‘wonderful’ job. “As bishop of the Diocese of Gal- loway I am very aware of the important contribution that the Whithorn Trust has made in maintaining and promoting the traditions of Whithorn,” he said. “The area is such an important part of our Fr David Borland, parish priest at St Andrew’s, Dumfries, led 48 parishioners on pilgrimage to Iona to mark the 200th anniversary of their parish opening (see page 5), sup- Christian heritage, and the trust has done ported by Fr Joe Holmes of Annan. Their pilgrimage to Iona was extra special as it coincided with the Year of Faith and the upcoming 1450th anniversary of St Columba’s arrival a wonderful job of informing people and on the island. Bishop Joseph Toal was in Iona at the weekend with the Knights of St Columba ahead of the main 1450th anniversary celebrations in June (see page 3) helping them experience this tradition. Whithorn and its link with St Ninian is central to who we are as a diocese, and it would be sad to see this opportunity to learn about our faith history lost.” Fr Ben Lodge, parish priest of St Martin and St Ninian’s Church in Moves to get cardinal to leave Whithorn, said it was a scandal that ‘cul- tural significance’ was being ‘deter- mined by accountants.’ “If I had a rocket that went to the moon in my backyard they’d set up a UK for the good of the Church museum for that,” he said “But this is every bit as important.

  • 045-San Nicola in Carcere
    (045/43) San Nicola in Carcere San Nicola in Carcere (St Nicholas in Prison) is a 16th century titular church and a minor basilica, and is also the regional church for those from Puglia and Lucania living in Rome. The basilica isnear the Forum Boarium in rione Ripa. The church is dedicated to St Nicholas of Myra, the patron saint of sailors and of children and the remote cause of the phenomenon of Santa Claus. His shrine is at Bari which is why this church is the national church for those who moved from Puglia and Lucania to Rome. [1] [4] The reference to ‘Prison’ is obscure. 'In carcere' probably refers to a tradition, supported by Pliny's history of Rome, that there was once a prison here, built in the ruins of the temples. [1] History Perhaps the most interesting thing about the church is that it incorporates the remains of three temples of the Republican era (2nd century BC) which used to stand in a row, side by side in the ancient Forum Holitorium (a vegetable market) with their entrances facing east. How the three temples became a church is a process which is completely obscure. [1] The northernmost was dedicated to Janus, and had two rows of six Ionic columns of peperino at the entrance and eight down each side. Two survive to the north, and seven to the south embedded with their architrave in the church's north wall. Well-preseved parts of the podium also survive in the crypt. The site of the middle temple is occupied by the church; it was dedicated to Juno Sospita and was in the Ionic style.

To my grandfather Ferdinando Tarquini whose memory is always alive in all those who knew him and loved him. 1 Baptism in early Christianity: A critical investigation of relevant Christian writings (80 – 325 A.D.) ABSTRACT This research project deals with the practice of the baptism in the early church and thus during the time of the origins of Christianity. Its main interest is to offer a substantiated answer to the following question: did the first generations of Christians baptize infants? The study dealt in-depth with this question. It is answered in terms of a thorough and accurate investigation of recognized and accepted translations of primary sources. The study comprises six chapters. The first chapter offers an introduction to the research and outlines the sources as well as the method employed in analyzing the early Christian literature. Chapter two entails an overview of New Testament information related to baptism and infant baptism. The New Testament is obviously the most fundamental document on the issue and provides useful indications on what was practiced in the early churches concerning the baptism of infants and children.

  • Pope Creates 13 New Cardinals, Including Washington Archbishop
    Pope creates 13 new cardinals, including Washington archbishop VATICAN CITY (CNS) — One by one 11 senior churchmen, including two U.S. citizens — Cardinals Wilton D. Gregory of Washington and Silvano M. Tomasi, a former Vatican diplomat — knelt before Pope Francis to receive their red hats, a cardinal’s ring and a scroll formally declaring their new status and assigning them a “titular” church in Rome. But with the consistory Nov. 28 occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic, Pope Francis actually created 13 new cardinals. Cardinals Jose F. Advincula of Capiz, Philippines, and Cornelius Sim, apostolic vicar of Brunei, did not attend the consistory because of COVID-19 travel restrictions; however, they are officially cardinals and will receive their birettas and rings at a later date, the Vatican said. In his homily at the prayer service, Pope Francis told the new cardinals that “the scarlet of a cardinal’s robes, which is the color of blood, can, for a worldly spirit, become the color of a secular ’eminence,'” the traditional title of respect for a cardinal. If that happens, he said, “you will no longer be a pastor close to your people. You will think of yourself only as ‘His Eminence.’ If you feel that, you are off the path.” For the cardinals, the pope said, the red must symbolize a wholehearted following of Jesus, who willingly gave his life on the cross to save humanity. The Gospel reading at the service, Mark 10:32-45, included the account of James and John asking Jesus for special honors. “Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left,” they said.

    Pilgrimage for Cardinal-Designate O’Brien’s Elevation to the College of Cardinals A pilgrimage to the Vatican has been organized for Catholics from the Archdiocese of Baltimore and others of good will interested in attending the February 18 consistory during which Cardinal-designate Edwin F. O’Brien, Pro Grand Master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem and Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, will be elevated to the College of Cardinals. Pope Benedict XVI named the Archbishop a Cardinal on January 6, 2012. Cardinals serve as advisors to the Pope and are eligible to vote in a Papal election until their 80th birthday. The pilgrimage is being organized by Peter’s Way Tours Inc. (800-225-7662 ext.14) and includes flights, hotels, and access to the Consistory ceremony and an audience with Pope Benedict XVI. Three options are available: February 14-21, February 15-21 and February 16-21. A brochure with details is online at www.archbalt.org. On Saturday, February 18, Pope Benedict XVI will create the 22 new cardinals. During a ceremony at St. Peter’s Basilica, he will give each a traditional scarlet biretta (a square hat with three ridges), a ring, and assign each his titular church in Rome. As he places the red hat on each new cardinal’s head, the Holy Father says, “Receive this red hat as a sign of the dignity of the office of a cardinal, signifying that you are ready to act with fortitude, even to the point of spilling your blood for the increase of the Christian faith, for peace and harmony among the people of God, for freedom and the spread of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.” On Sunday, February 19, the Holy Father will celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving with the new cardinals at St.
