Although it was unbanned following the Dominum Georgium Marium collapse of the Soviet Union, it was left without its original churches, which had been seized by the Communists under Soviet rule and later Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem Bergoglio transferred to the Orthodox Church. qui sibi nomen imposuit Franciscum. Still, "on several occasions, Pope Francis has shown spiritual sympathy towards the Orthodox Church and a desire for closer contacts," Hilarion Statement on our new Pope from Metropolitan William said. It is his hope that under the new pontificate "relations of alliance will develop and that our ties will be strengthened." Congratulations to our newly-elected Pope Francis I. The first modern-day Pope born outside of Europe, the first Jesuit, and the first to be named after Saint Francis, Pope Francis has been very supportive of the Eastern Catholic Churches in Latin America during his tenure as Archbishop of Buenos Aires in his native Argentina. For this, we are especially thankful. Bishop Gerald Dino of Phoenix and I are in Rome and will represent our Byzantine Catholic Metropolitan Church at his enthronement at Saint Peter's Basilica on Tuesday, March 19. You can already feel the joy, hope and excitement for the future. As we begin to remember his name in the litanies of the Divine Liturgy and in our daily prayer, we ask that our new Pope receives strength from the Father and wisdom from the Holy Spirit.

If the Pope cannot choose his own successor he can, nonetheless, choose those who elect. A good starting point for investigating the signifi cance of the Papacy is the 1994 Catechism of the Catholic Church. It is the most recent and comprehensive account of the Roman Catholic faith. Referring to the offi ce of the Pope, the Catechism notes in paragraph 882 that ‘the Roman Pontiff , by reason of his offi ce as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered.’3 Th is brief sentence contains an apt summary of what the history and offi ce of the papacy are all about.

  • Modern Alternative Popes*
    Modern Alternative Popes* Magnus Lundberg Uppsala University The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) is arguably the most important event in modern Catholicism, and a major act on the twentieth-century religious scene at large. On several points, the conciliar fathers made changes in how the Catholic Church perceived the modern world. The language in the decrees was different from earlier councils’, and the bishops opened up for ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, seeing at least “seeds of truth” in other religious traditions. The conciliar fathers also voted in favour of liberty of religion, as meaning something more than the right to practise Catholic faith. A very concrete effect of the Council was the introduction of the New Mass Order (Novus Ordo Missae) in 1969 that replaced the traditional Roman rite, decreed by Pius V in 1570. Apart from changes in content, under normal circumstances, the new mass should be read in the vernacular, not in Latin as before. Though many Catholics welcomed the reforms of Vatican II, many did not. In the period just after the end of the Council, large numbers of priests and nuns were laicized, few new priest candidates entered the seminaries, and many laypeople did not recognize the church and the liturgy, which they had grown up with. In the post- conciliar era, there developed several traditionalist groups that criticized the reforms and in particular the introduction of the Novus Ordo. Their criticism could be more or less radical, and more or less activist. Many stayed in their parishes and attended mass there, but remained faithful to traditional forms of devotions and paid much attention to modern Marian apparitions.

  • Flags of the Pope's Swiss Guard Since 1798 Emil Dreyer
    Page 427 Emil Dreyer: Flags of the Pope’s Swiss Guard since 1798 Abstract: A chronological history of the flags of the Pope's Swiss Guard since the establishment of the Roman Republic in 1798 until today is presented and richly illustrated. Up to the first half of the 19th century only colour drawings can he used as a pictorial testimony of the guard’s flags, since no original flag from before that time is known to have survived. The flags used to he striped in the Medici livery colours blue, red and yellow and had the Pope's and the commander's arms painted on them. When a Pope or commander changed, the new arms were painted covering the old ones, so the flag fabric was rarely made new. A new flag design by Robert Diirrer with a white cross throughout was accepted in 1913 and blessed by Pope Pius X on 5 May 1914. Changes of a Pope and/or commander were now reflected on the flag by cutting out the old personal emblems and replacing them bv the new ones, the basic design remaining unchanged, hut in the course of the 20th century flags were made completely new more often. Original flag photographs document the history of the guard’s flags since the middle of the 19th century until present times with the flag under Pope Benedict XVI and commander Elmar Mdder. In a second part of this work the various flags of the veteran ’s association of the Pope’s Swiss Guard, founded in 1921, are presented.

  • 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.

The process of conclave is a matter of ecclesiastical law and has been subject to change and refinement over the centuries, and at one time it was the Roman populace, clergy and laity alike, who elected the pope by acclamation, but later on, this was delegated to just the cardinals. The present conclave rules are described in detail by the Apostolic Constitution, Universi Dominici gregis, promulgated by Pope John Paul II on February 22, 1996. On April 18th, the morning of the opening day of the conclave, the cardinals assembled in St. Peter’s Basilica for Mass celebrated for the conclave’s intention. After the Mass, the cardinals processed to the Sistine Chapel (the papal chapel in the Vatican famous for it’s ceiling frescos and Last Judgement scene by Michelangelo) while singing the Veni Creator, accompanied by the secretary to the College of Cardinals as well as the Congregation of This photo of the cardinal-electors meeting Bishops, Archbishop Francesco Monterisi, the Master of Pontifical Liturgical Celebrations in the Vatican’s Synod Hall on April 11th to (i.e., the head MC), Archbishop Piero Marini, and 2 papal masters of ceremonies.
