  • A Letter to Pope Francis Concerning His Past, the Abysmal State of Papism, and a Plea to Return to Holy Orthodoxy
    A Letter to Pope Francis Concerning His Past, the Abysmal State of Papism, and a Plea to Return to Holy Orthodoxy The lengthy letter that follows was written by His Eminence, the Metropolitan of Piraeus, Seraphim, and His Eminence, the Metropolitan of Dryinoupolis, Andrew, both of the Church of Greece. It was sent to Pope Francis on April 10, 2014. The Orthodox Christian Information Center (OrthodoxInfo.com) assisted in editing the English translation. It was posted on OrthodoxInfo.com on Great and Holy Monday, April 14, 2014. The above title was added for the English version and did not appear in the Greek text. Metropolitan Seraphim is well known and loved in Greece for his defense of Orthodoxy, his strong stance against ecumenism, and for the philanthropic work carried out in his Metropolis (http://www.imp.gr/). His Metropolis is also well known for Greece’s first and best ecclesiastical radio station: http://www.pe912fm.com/. This radio station is one of the most important tools for Orthodox outreach in Greece. Metropolitan Seraphim was born in 1956 in Athens. He studied law and theology, receiving his master’s degree and his license to practice law. In 1980 he was tonsured a monk and ordained to the holy diaconate and the priesthood by His Beatitude Seraphim of blessed memory, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece. He served as the rector of various churches and as the head ecclesiastical judge for the Archdiocese of Athens (1983) and as the Secretary of the Synodal Court of the Church of Greece (1985-2000). In December of 2000 the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarch elected him as an auxiliary bishop of the Holy Archdiocese of Australia in which he served until 2002.

Boston College School of Theology & Ministry Introduction Metanoiete. From the very first word of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of Mark reform and renewal have been an essential feature of Christian life and thought – just as they were critical to the message of the prophets of ancient Israel. The preaching of the Gospel presumes at least some openness to change, to acting differently and to thinking about things differently. This process has been repeated over and over again over the centuries. This insight forms the backbone of Gerhard Ladner’s classic work The Idea of Reform, where renovatio and reformatio are constants throughout Christian history.1 All of the great reform movements in the past twenty centuries have been in response to both changing cultural and societal circumstances (like the adaptation of Christianity north of the Alps) and the failure of Christians individually and communally to live up to the demands of the Gospel.

  • Pope Benedict XVI: the Final Act
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Pope Benedict XVI: The Final Act NANDAGOPAL R MENON Vol. 48, Issue No. 08, 23 Feb, 2013 Nandagopal R. Menon is a research scholar at the Department of Cultural Anthropology of Utrecht University in the Netherlands. After an eight-year reign overshadowed by controversies, scandals and further alienation of the Church from the modern world, Pope Benedict XVI wins plaudits with the precedent- shattering example of his resignation. The 2010 BBC 2 documentary, Trials of the Pope, has a revealing conversation between the producer and a close family friend of Benedict XVI and his brother Georg Ratzinger. Margarete Ricardi spoke about the Pope’s loneliness in Rome and how he frequently called his brother in Germany, and invited friends to visit him at the Vatican. Perhaps these remarks are helpful in understanding Benedict XVI and his close to eight years at the helm of the Catholic Church. It was not his first stint in Rome. He had spent twenty four years as the Church’s chief doctrinal enforcer before he took up the Chair of St. Peter. But his brilliance as a theologian, his genuine pious humility and deep faith in the centuries-old traditions of the Church did not prepare him for the post he took up in 2005. He tried to be a “teaching Pope” like his predecessor, John Paul II, and avoided getting too involved in the nitty-gritty of Church administration and management. The flamboyant John Paul II could still carry the day with his charisma and love for pageantry. But Benedict XVI is no John Paul II.

  • En Kirke I Krise
    En kirke i krise - en analyse af hvilken effekt den danske katolske kirkes krisekommunikation har haft på de danske katolikker i løbet af foråret 2010. Udarbejdet af: Michal Krzysztof Tempczyk Vejleder: Thomas Martin Møller Burø, Institut for Internationale Kultur- og Kommunikationsstudier Antal NS: 80 Typeenheder: 143.356 Cand.ling.merc. CBS, juni 2011. Executive summary – The Catholic crisis Several times the Catholic Church has been subject to large scale global media attention. A repeating theme of the media coverage has been sexual abuse of children within Catholic institutions. In March 2010 the Danish Catholic Church (DCC) found itself in the eye of the hurricane, as the Danish Catholic Bishop Czeslaw Kozon stated that the Church was aware of several assault cases in Denmark, but was not obligated to neither investigate them nor report them to the police. Subsequently the Bishop was strongly criticised by various legal experts for the lack of action in the specific cases. This resulted in the media coverage reaching a significant level, and new cases of child abuse within the DCC quickly became the top stories of the Danish press. The following two months, the DCC initiated several actions as an attempt to tackle the criticism. The fact that this crisis, in its basic elements, was an ongoing communication process, makes it a very interesting field of study. An aspect of the crisis, which was given very limited attention by the media, is how the crisis and the DCC’s communicative efforts affected the Danish Catholics. Thus, the objective of this thesis is to investigate the context and aspects of the crisis, the communication produced by the DCC during this period and finally, how it affected the Danish Catholics.

  • Opening of the Year of the Eucharist – June 22-23, 2019
    Opening of the Year of the Eucharist – June 22-23, 2019 This Novena prayed nine days before the June 23rd start would be a great way to make immediate preparation for the Year of the Eucharist. The novena would begin on June 14. The link is here: http://www.ewtn.com/Devotionals/novena/Corpus_Christi.htm In the Masses you celebrate on June 22-23, we would suggest the following rituals to open the Year of Eucharist. 1. Gather the faithful outside the main door of the church, weather permitting. * a. Give a brief explanation of the Year of the Eucharist. Share with the faithful that this moment of processing is a symbolic way of entering the Year of the Eucharist. (sample of an explanation is attached) b. Read the decree (attached) c. Process in with a Eucharistic Hymn of your choosing from the resources you have available. d. Carry in the Year of the Eucharist banner. After the processional, have the banner carrier hang the banner on the main door of the parish church. Hooks are provided with the banner and should be attached to the door ahead of time. Additional banners can be ordered. Contact Dionne Eastmo in the Faith Formation Office. 2. Have the parishioners pray the sequence for the Feast of Corpus Christi. You could also sing it although there is no familiar melody available. (The text of the sequence is attached.) 3. Preach about the Year of the Eucharist focusing on the bishop’s desire to deepen and strengthen the faithful’s encounter with the Lord in the celebration of the Mass.

  • 1 LET US PRAY – REFLECTIONS on the EUCHARIST Fr. Roger G. O'brien, Senior Priest, Archdiocese of Seattle
    1 LET US PRAY – REFLECTIONS ON THE EUCHARIST Fr. Roger G. O’Brien, Senior Priest, Archdiocese of Seattle During this Year of the Eucharist, I offer a series of articles on Eucharistic Spirituality: Source of Life and Mission of our Church. Article #1, How We Name Eucharist. Let me make two initial remarks: one on how, in our long tradition, we have named the eucharist, and the other on eucharistic spirituality. We’ve given the eucharist a variety of names, in our church’s practice and tradition. The New Testament called it the Lord’s Supper (Paul so names it in 1 Cor. 11:20); and also the Breaking of the Bread (by Luke, in Acts 2:42,46). Later, a Greek designation was given it, Anamnesis, meaning “remembrance”. It is the remembrance, the memorial of the Lord, in which we actually participate in his dying and rising. Sometimes, it was called simply Communion, underscoring the unity we have with Jesus and one another when we eat the bread and drink the cup (1 Cor. 10:16). We speak of “doing eucharist” together because, in doing it, we have communion with the Lord and one another. Anglicans still use this name, today, to refer to the Lord’s Supper. We call it Eucharist – meaning “thanksgiving” (from the Greek, eucharistein, “to give thanks”). Jesus gave thanks at the Last Supper. And we do so. When we come together to be nourished in word and sacrament, we give thanks for Jesus’ dying and rising. It was also called Sacrifice. Early christian writers spoke of Jesus’ Sacrifice (also calling it his Offering), which was not only a gift received but also the gift whereby we approach God.
