Monks, Beer & Serving Others St. Benedict delivering his Rule to monks in his order. 3 Trappist monks have been producing beer for 1,500 years, and in that time, they have revolutionized and perfected the beer-making process. Trappists are a Catholic religious order of cloistered monastics from the Order of Cister- cians of the Strict Observance and follow the Rule of St. Benedict. Beer making began early in the sixth century when Benedict of Nursia wrote a template for monastic life called The Rule (later known as The Rule of St. Benedict). One of Benedict’s directives was that monks should earn their own keep and donate to the poor by the work of their own hands. In the cen- turies following, monasteries have produced goods to sell, including cheese, honey, and, of course, beer. Other themes of the Rule include: A significant amount of time should be spent in spiritual reflection and observance; Monks should engage in manual labor to balance that reflec- tion; Monasteries should be financially self-supporting; and Secular (worldly) pursuits should be avoided. Beer production served other purposes too, such as the monastery’s obligation to show hospitality to travelers and pilgrims. Beer was safer to drink in medieval times than water contaminated by sewage, and therefore was served to visitors. Beer was also helpful to monks in getting Photo by Dirk Van Esbroeck under the through periods of fasting in Lent and Advent.

They also extended the life of beer by adding hops, which acts as a preservative. The tradition of Trappist beer continued smoothly until the French Revolution took hold of France in the early 1800s. Monasteries were sacked and looted and monks were forced to abandon their breweries. Over the next hundred years, the Trappists settled in Belgium. Photo by Fr. Brandon Bernhard, O.S.B. By the mid 1900s, Trappist beers were known worldwide for their high quality and limited production. Suddenly, the brews started popping up everywhere with many entrepreneurs simply using monks or monasteries on their labels, naming the beer after holy figures, and collecting the profits. In 1960, the Abbaye Notre Dame d’Orval filed a legal claim against the Veltem brewery of Leuven to stop the production of “Veltem Trappist.” The Belgian courts sided with the monastery and decided that to be called “Trappist,” a beer must be brewed and sold by monks who are actually members of the Trappist order. Further protections came via the International Trappist Association (ITA): brewing must take place inside the walls of a Trappist monastery, operations of the brewery must come second to the religious pursuits of the monastery and should be conducted in a way that aligns with monastic life. Today monks produce some of the most critically acclaimed beers on the market. The most famous monastic breweries are the eight Trappist breweries in northern Europe. One of these, St. Sixtus (Westveltern, Pope Benedict XVI receives the first bottle of Birra Nursia in 2012 Belgium), makes what is considered the best beer in the world.

  • HIPPOLYTUS and the 6000-YEAR CHRONOLOGY Notwithstanding
    CHAPTER FIVE HIPPOLYTUS AND THE 6000-YEAR CHRONOLOGY Notwithstanding being known today as one of the most important theologians of the 3rd-century Christian Church in the West, Hip- polytus ’ life and writings are not as well known as we might initially think. Most scholars explain this by referring to Hippolytus ’ schismatic activities, adding the fact that he wrote in Greek instead of Latin. It is commonly accepted that Hippolytus lived between c.170 A.D. and 236 A.D. and that he held a solid reputation among the Roman presbyters. However, little is known regarding his early life, and what we know about his later career is still under dispute. Even Eusebius is not positive about which church he led.1 Historical sources also do not allow us to confirm whether he was a disciple of Irenaeus (he probably was not), although it is commonly accepted that he attended one of Origen ’s sermons during his stay in Rome. We also know that the his- torical sources refer to him both as a bishop and as a presbyter, which reflects in a certain way that his importance was different in the West than it was in the East.2 In fact, Hippolytus appears to have been only a presbyter; however, in the Orient it was common to speak of him as a bishop. Later, Hippolytus , a man some said to be very strict in terms of orthodoxy, was convinced that Pope Callistus was a heretic, and therefore regarded Callistus as an antipope. During that period, he attacked not only Callistus but also his successors, namely, Urban and Pontianus .

  • Poverty, Charity and the Papacy in The
    TRICLINIUM PAUPERUM: POVERTY, CHARITY AND THE PAPACY IN THE TIME OF GREGORY THE GREAT AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF MARCH, 2013 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY ___________________________ Miles Doleac APPROVED: ________________________ Dennis P. Kehoe, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ F. Thomas Luongo, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ Thomas D. Frazel, Ph.D AN ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of Gregory I (r. 590-604 CE) in developing permanent ecclesiastical institutions under the authority of the Bishop of Rome to feed and serve the poor and the socio-political world in which he did so. Gregory’s work was part culmination of pre-existing practice, part innovation. I contend that Gregory transformed fading, ancient institutions and ideas—the Imperial annona, the monastic soup kitchen-hospice or xenodochium, Christianity’s “collection for the saints,” Christian caritas more generally and Greco-Roman euergetism—into something distinctly ecclesiastical, indeed “papal.” Although Gregory has long been closely associated with charity, few have attempted to unpack in any systematic way what Gregorian charity might have looked like in practical application and what impact it had on the Roman Church and the Roman people. I believe that we can see the contours of Gregory’s initiatives at work and, at least, the faint framework of an organized system of ecclesiastical charity that would emerge in clearer relief in the eighth and ninth centuries under Hadrian I (r. 772-795) and Leo III (r.

A Light Unto My Path ~ Fifth Sunday of Easter ~ By Bishop Robert Barron In the midst of his so-called High-Priestly discourse in the Gospel of John, Jesus says to Thomas, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” There is a whole series of “I am” statements in the fourth Gospel, each one saying something about Jesus’ distinctive3 identity: “I am the bread of life; I am the light of the world; I am the Good Shepherd; I am the Resurrection and the Life,” etc. Each of these, obviously, reflects the majestic utterance in the third chapter of Exodus by which the God of Israel identifies himself: “I am who I am.” Thomas Aquinas parses the “I am” remark to Thomas the Apostle as follows. In saying that he is the way, Jesus is signaling his full humanity. For the human nature of the Lord is indeed the means by which a disciple is led to union with God.

  • Pope Cornelius
    Pope Cornelius Pope Cornelius (died June 253) was the Bishop of Rome from 6 or 13 March 251 to his martyrdom in 253.[1] 1 Christian persecution Emperor Decius, who ruled from 249 to 251 AD, per- secuted Christians in the Roman Empire rather sporadi- cally and locally, but starting January in the year 250, he ordered all citizens to perform a religious sacrifice in the presence of commissioners, or else face death.[2] Many Christians refused and were martyred (possibly including the pope, St Fabian, on 20 January), while others partook in the sacrifices in order to save their own lives.[3] Two schools of thought arose after the persecution. One side, led by Novatian, who was a priest in the diocese of Rome, believed that those who had stopped practising Christian- ity during the persecution could not be accepted back into the church even if they repented. Under this philosophy, the only way to re-enter the church would be re-baptism. The opposing side, including Cornelius and Cyprian the Bishop of Carthage, did not believe in the need for re- baptism. Instead they thought that the sinners should only need to show contrition and true repentance to be wel- comed back into the church.[4] In hopes that Christian- ity would fade away, Decius prevented the election of a new pope. However, soon afterwards Decius was forced to leave the area to fight the invading Goths and while he was away the elections for pope were held.[3] In the 14 months without a pope, the leading candidate, Moses, had died under the persecution.

    The Ante-Nicene Fathers (10 Volumes) ranges from the Apostolic Fathers to various third and fourth century sources including the liturgies and ancient Syriac documents. It was intended to comprise translations into English of all the extant works of the Fathers (with the exception of the more bulky works of Origen) down to the date of the first General Council held at Nicaea in 325 A.D. The basic aim of the translations has been to strive for literary exactness, placing the English reader as nearly as possible on an equal footing with those who are able to read the original. General Editor : Phillip Schaff (1819-1893), who was born in Switzerland, was educated at Tubingen, Halle, and Berlin, and later took a position as Professor of Church history at German Reformed Seminary in Mercersburg, Penn., and Union Theological Seminary in New York. He was involved in the formation of the Evangelical Alliance, the revision of the English Bible (the Revised Version), and the Alliance of the Reformed Churches.
