R. E. or rr - rot ºr D = rs - FRIENDLY CONSIDERATIONS FOR AMERICAN PROTESTANTS AND FREEMEN. God, my fellow-countrymen, has conferred on you the peculiar honor and the eminent responsibility of being jurors in behalf of the great commonwealth of humanity in a momentous case in which he himself is Judge. - The great criminal arraigned for trial before his bar is that pecu liar corporation claiming the right to be called the church of Rome. You are called on to decide whether this corporation, for treason against God and hostility to the human race, deserves the execra tion of mankind and the righteous and avenging judgment of God. In order to decide this question, you are to consider, not any plausible professions which the corporation may put forth, but the organic laws of the corporation, its avowed principles, the inevitable tendency of such laws and principles, and finally the actual results of these tendencies as imbodied in history. When you have in telligently considered these things, you will be able to decide wha this corporation is and what ought to be its doom. You are therefore called on also to decide whether this corſ ora tion has changed for the better or not since its principles were fully developed during the era or dispensation of their notorious head, Gregory VII, sometimes called Hildebrand; whether the lion's claws that it then had have been extracted, or only concealed; (3) 4 FRIENDLY CONSIDERATIONS whether its teeth have been knocked out, or only hidden till it can find another opportunity to bite and devour. On these points some of the orators of the corporation have made most beautiful and touching appeals, protesting that in these auspicious days of liberality the lion has laid aside its ancient ferocity and repented of its bloody deeds, and is ready to lie down with the lamb, and the leopard with the kid, and that a little child can lead them. You, as good men and true, are called upon to say upon your oaths whether you find that there is any evidence that this blessed trans formation has taken place. Indeed, in coming to your ultimate results, you are called on to decide a still more important question—that is to say, What is the character of this corporation for truth and fidelity to engagements? You are called on to decide whether it is ever safe to trust any af firmations or denials of this corporation, or of any of its agents, as to any matters of fact touching their own interests or involved in their own defence. You are therefore called on to decide, first, What has been the character of this corporation in these respects in ages past? And if you find that it has been infamous to the last degree, then you are to decide whether it has ever repented and brought forth works meet for repentance, so as at last to deserve to be admitted into decent, civilized, and Christian society. Not merely in ages past, but also at the present day, this corpora tion has promulgated certain bills of rights designed to define the extent of their own claims and prerogatives. These may, by way of distinction, be called the Papal bills of rights. On these you are also called to sit in judgment. The amount of them in brief is this: This Papal corporation have avowed a conscientious convic tion that God has empowered them to do all the thinking of all mankind on all points of Christian faith and practice, and that he has required all the rest of mankind to think as this corporation thinks, on pain of eternal damnation; also that God has given them FOR AMERICAN PROTESTANTS AND FREEMEN. * 5 full power over kings and all rulers, to use them as instruments in enforcing this right, by crusades, confiscations, proscriptions, and boundless slaughters. Such are their avowed and conscientious convictions on these important and interesting topics. Their ideas of their own rights of conscience correspond; that is to say, they claim the right to act out these conscientious convic tions without let or impediment. This is in brief the bill of Papal rights of conscience. Their ideas of the rights of conscience in all others are no less interesting and instructive. They liberally concede to all mankind the right to obey such laws and decisions of all sorts as they shall declare that God has promulgated through themselves, and none others in contravention of these. In short, their theory of the rights of man is in brief this: That all mankind have an inalienable right to obey the laws of the Papal corporation, and that all who refuse to obey these laws have no other rights whatever. The doctrines of this corporation on the subject of persecution are no less instructive. They are these:— Inasmuch as God has given to them the rights of conscience above stated, it is not persecution in them to carry those rights into full and perfect effect, by deposing rebellious kings and rulers, and by using such rulers as are obedient to them, in the laudable and divine work of torturing, and then butchering or burning, all rebels against Papal authority, confiscating their goods, and rendering them and their children infamous forever. For the Papal corporation to do all this is not persecution, but the exercise of just authority. On the other hand, if any man shall have the hardihood and audacity even secretly to think that this is wrong, and much more to say so, that man is a persecutor. Much more is he a persecutor if he shall dare to endeavor to create a public sentiment that shall throw infamy upon the corporation simply because they have exer cised their just rights of conscience in butchering a few millions of heretics—say, for example, about fifty millions, more or less. 1 * 6 FRIENDLY CONSIDERATIONS Still more, it would be inexcusable persecution for this nation to pass any laws to prevent them from gaining, as soon as possible, the ability to carry out their rights of conscience aforesaid in this country. In particular, if the head of the corporation shall send to this country pecuniary agents, whom he sees fit to call bishops, and to concentrate in them all the property of all the religious societies in this land who own his sway, as one means of gaining the power at which he aims, then to interpose by law to prohibit and prevent such accumulation would be a still higher grade of persecution. Above all, to expel by law from this land the sworn pecuniary agents of the foreign head of this corporation, even although they should be manifestly, and openly, and undeniably guilty of a treason able conspiracy with foreign Romish powers to subvert the consti tution and laws of these United States and of each particular state in this confederacy, would be the summit of persecution. This is self-evident; because any government that refuses to submit to the jurisdiction of this corporation has no right to exist, and therefore it is a duty to conspire to overthrow it. Indeed it is the conscientious conviction of the members of this corporation that they are called on, As soon As THEY CAN GET THE Pow ER, to rule all such govern ments with a rod of iron and to dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. That these are the present claims of this corporation, without col oring or exaggeration, I think you will be satisfied when you shall have read the evidence adduced in this volume, which is but a small part of what could be offered. I will, however, in this place present one item more, which I re quest you to consider in connection with that in the body of this work. Pope Pius VII, whose papacy occupied nearly the first quarter of the present century, gave to his nuncio at Vienna the following instructions, in view of the claims of certain Protestant princes on his ecclesiastical property in Germany for indemnity for certain FOR AMERICAN PROTESTANTS AND FREEMEN. 7 injuries. He says, “Not only has the church succeeded to prevent heretics from possessing themselves of ecclesiastical property, but she has established the confiscation and the loss of goods as the punishment of those guilty of the crime of heresy. This punish ment, as it respects the goods of individuals, is decreed by a bull of Innocent III. ; and, in respect of principalities and fiefs, it is a rule of the canon law (Chap. Absolutos xvi, De Hareticis) that the subjects of an heretical prince are enfranchised from every duty to wards him and dispensed from all fealty and homage.

  • St. Polycarp Feast: February 23
    St. Polycarp Feast: February 23 Facts Feast Day: February 23 Imagine being able to sit at the feet of the apostles and hear their stories of life with Jesus from their own lips. Imagine walking with those who had walked with Jesus, seen him, and touched him. That was what Polycarp was able to do as a disciple of Saint John the Evangelist. But being part of the second generation of Church leaders had challenges that the first generation could not teach about. What did you do when those eyewitnesses were gone? How do you carry on the correct teachings of Jesus? How do you answer new questions that never came up before? With the apostles gone, heresies sprang up pretending to be true teaching, persecution was strong, and controversies arose over how to celebrate liturgy that Jesus never laid down rules for. Polycarp, as a holy man and bishop of Smyrna, found there was only one answer -- to be true to the life of Jesus and imitate that life. Saint Ignatius of Antioch told Polycarp "your mind is grounded in God as on an immovable rock." When faced with heresy, he showed the "candid face" that Ignatius admired and that imitated Jesus' response to the Pharisees. Marcion, the leader of the Marcionites who followed a dualistic heresy, confronted Polycarp and demanded respect by saying, "Recognize us, Polycarp." Polycarp responded, "I recognize you, yes, I recognize the son of Satan." On the other hand when faced with Christian disagreements he was all forgiveness and respect. One of the controversies of the time came over the celebration of Easter.

  • Stages of Papal Law
    Journal of the British Academy, 5, 37–59. DOI https://doi.org/10.5871/jba/005.037 Posted 00 March 2017. © The British Academy 2017 Stages of papal law Raleigh Lecture on History read 1 November 2016 DAVID L. D’AVRAY Fellow of the British Academy Abstract: Papal law is known from the late 4th century (Siricius). There was demand for decretals and they were collected in private collections from the 5th century on. Charlemagne’s Admonitio generalis made papal legislation even better known and the Pseudo-Isidorian collections brought genuine decretals also to the wide audience that these partly forged collections reached. The papal reforms from the 11th century on gave rise to a new burst of papal decretals, and collections of them, culminating in the Liber Extra of 1234. The Council of Trent opened a new phase. The ‘Congregation of the Council’, set up to apply Trent’s non-dogmatic decrees, became a new source of papal law. Finally, in 1917, nearly a millennium and a half of papal law was codified by Cardinal Gasparri within two covers. Papal law was to a great extent ‘demand- driven’, which requires explanation. The theory proposed here is that Catholic Christianity was composed of a multitude of subsystems, not planned centrally and each with an evolving life of its own. Subsystems frequently interfered with the life of other subsystems, creating new entanglements. This constantly renewed complexity had the function (though not the purpose) of creating and recreating demand for papal law to sort out the entanglements between subsystems. For various reasons other religious systems have not generated the same demand: because the state plays a ‘papal’ role, or because the units are small, discrete and simple, or thanks to a clear simple blueprint, or because of conservatism combined with a tolerance of some inconsistency.

  • Patrocinium of Calasanz
    The Patrocinium of St. Joseph Calasanz November 27 Although the Feast of St. Joseph Calasanz is celebrated on August 25, this date often falls at the end of summer vacation for most Piarist Schools. As a result, the religious order has designated November 27, which is the day he opened Europe’s first free public school, as the Patrocinium, a special day to honor and celebrate St. Joseph Calasanz. Joseph was born on September 11, 1557 in a tiny village called Peralta de la Sal. He was a Spanish priest from Aragon, Spain, who went to Rome at the end of the sixteenth century and started schools for poor and homeless children. He also started a religious congregation to serve these schools which is today spread throughout the world. He was well educated in philosophy, law and theology at the Spanish universities of Estadilla, Lerida, and Valencia. His family initially did not support his religious calling. His father wanted him to marry and to continue the family, but after recovering from an illness which brought him close to death, Calasanz was ordained as a priest on December 17, 1583. He subsequently became vicar general of Tremp. He later relinquished much of his inheritance and resigned his vicariate. For the next ten years, he held various posts as a secretary, administrator and theologian in the Diocese of Albarracín in Spain. In 1592, Joseph went to Rome, where he became a theologian in the service of Cardinal Marcoantonio Colonna and a tutor to his nephew. He worked alongside St. Camillus de Lellis during the plague, which hit Rome at the time.

  • Liturgy, Space, and Community in the Basilica Julii (Santa Maria in Trastevere)
    DALE KINNEY Liturgy, Space, and Community in the Basilica Julii (Santa Maria in Trastevere) Abstract The Basilica Julii (also known as titulus Callisti and later as Santa Maria in Trastevere) provides a case study of the physical and social conditions in which early Christian liturgies ‘rewired’ their participants. This paper demon- strates that liturgical transformation was a two-way process, in which liturgy was the object as well as the agent of change. Three essential factors – the liturgy of the Eucharist, the space of the early Christian basilica, and the local Christian community – are described as they existed in Rome from the fourth through the ninth centuries. The essay then takes up the specific case of the Basilica Julii, showing how these three factors interacted in the con- crete conditions of a particular titular church. The basilica’s early Christian liturgical layout endured until the ninth century, when it was reconfigured by Pope Gregory IV (827-844) to bring the liturgical sub-spaces up-to- date. In Pope Gregory’s remodeling the original non-hierarchical layout was replaced by one in which celebrants were elevated above the congregation, women were segregated from men, and higher-ranking lay people were accorded places of honor distinct from those of lesser stature. These alterations brought the Basilica Julii in line with the requirements of the ninth-century papal stational liturgy. The stational liturgy was hierarchically orga- nized from the beginning, but distinctions became sharper in the course of the early Middle Ages in accordance with the expansion of papal authority and changes in lay society.

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Jeremiah 17:5-8; Psalm 11-2, 3, 4, 6 1 Corinthians 15:12, 16-20; Luke 6:17, 20-26 Today’s readings speak of an essential quality for the Christian disciple — hope.

  • Mary the Blessed Virgin
    January 1 – Mary the Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated with a special cult, called by St. Thomas Aquinas, hyperdulia, as the holiest of all creatures. The main events of her life are celebrated as liturgical feasts of the universal Church. Traditionally, she was declared the daughter of Sts. Joachim and Anne. Born in Jerusalem, Mary was presented in the Temple and took a vow of virginity. Living in Nazareth, Mary was visited by the archangel Gabriel, who announced to her that she would become the Mother of Jesus, by the Holy Spirit. She became betrothed to St. Joseph and went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who was bearing St. John the Baptist. Acknowledged by Elizabeth as the Mother of God, Mary intoned the Magnificat. When Emperor Augustus declared a census throughout the vast Roman Empire, Mary and St. Joseph went to Bethlehem where he was born, as he belonged to the House of David. There Mary gave birth to Jesus and was visited by the Three Kings. Mary and Joseph presented Jesus in the Temple, where St. Simeon rejoiced and Mary received word of sorrows to come later. Warned to flee, St. Joseph and Mary went to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod. They remained in Egypt until King Herod died and then returned to Nazareth. Nothing is known of Mary's life during the next years except for a visit to the Temple of Jerusalem, at which time Mary and Joseph sought the young Jesus, who was in the Temple with the learned elders. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was performed at a wedding in Cana, and Mary was instrumental in calling Christ's attention to the need.

  • My Life for the Pope
    Maybe you have never heard of Consalvi, but he was an important character: My Life for the Pope You students may find it difficult in your modern world to understand how a person could devote his whole life in the service of the Church and the Pope. Well, let me tell you my story and you’ll see at least how things used to be. My ancestors came from Pisa, of an ancient noble family, but my grandfather settled in the Papal States. There he met Ercole Consalvi (not me), who gave him a large fortune provided he changed his family name to Consalvi. My grandfather agreed (his name was Gregorio) and moved to Rome. I was born in Rome on June 8, 1757 and was destined for Church service as soon as I was born. After all, my family was influential and guaranteed me a swift rise. At age nine I began my education in Catholic colleges. My education lasted until 1783, and I studied rhetoric, theology, law, and philosophy. In 1783, I began a brilliant career in the service of Pope Pius VI, but then the French Revolution broke out. The French crossed into Italy and looked for a pretext to invade the Papal States. I was put at the head of a military commission to make certain that no disturbances would occur and no pretext would be given. On December 28, 1797, though, a French general was killed in Rome and in February a French army under General Berthier took over the city. The French removed Pius VI, Spencer Discala, PH.D.
