  • New Perspectives on the Creation of the Mercedarian Order
    New perspectives on the creation of the Mercedarian Order James William Brodman University of Central Arkansas Among the apsidal chapels of Barcelona’s Cathedral of Santa Eulàlia and Santa Creu is one dedicated to Our Lady of Mercy. Its rococo retablo depicts what has become the official story of foundation for the Mercedarian Order, allegedly on August 10, 1218.1 In the foreground there is an armored Pere Nolasc, kneeling before a very adult-looking King James I and Raymond of Penyafort, with Barcelo- na’s bishop, Berenguer de Palou hovering in the background. At the time of its commission, the re- tablo sought to celebrate but also to validate the canonization of the Mercedarian patriarch, an event that had taken place only in 1628. The problem, of course, was that Nolasc’s biography is an almost complete tabula raza. We do not know when he was born, when he died, where he was from, to whom he was related, what his social status was or even where his body is buried. All we can say with cer- tainty beyond the mere fact of his actual existence is that he acted as head of a confraternity of cap- tives in Barcelona and elsewhere within the crown lands of Aragon during the 1230s and 1240s. In- deed, this very lack of a real biography caused much skepticism at Rome when the cause of Nolasc’s canonization was first broached in the early seventeenth century. It seems that only through persis- tence and clever inventions were the Mercedarians able to prevail and gain the crown of sainthood for their founder.2 But, surely the retablo of Barcelona’s cathedral also reflects a lingering discomfort because the recently canonized founder in fact is portrayed in a position secondary to King James and St.

  • The Tradition of the Red Mass Was Begun by Pope Innocent IV in 1243
    Mass with Bishop Timothy L. Doherty followed by a dinner for legal professionals and a presentation by Notre Dame Law Professor Richard W. Garnett The tradition of the Red Mass was begun by Pope Innocent IV in 1243 for the Ecclesial Judical Court asking the invocation of the Holy Spirit as a source of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude and strength for the coming term of the court. The color red signifies the Holy Spirit and martyrdom. St. Thomas More is the patron saint of lawyers. The Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana will celebrate the fifth annual Red Mass on Monday, October 5, 2020, at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Lafayette at 5:30 pm. All government officials (federal, state, local levels, executive, legislative, judicial branches), attorneys, paralegals, law students and their spouses are cordially invited to attend. One does not have to be Catholic to join us in prayer and fellowship for the legal community. The Red Mass is a tradition in the Catholic Church which dates back to the 13th century. The first Red Mass is believed to have been celebrated in the Cathedral of Paris in 1245, and thereafter the tradition spread throughout Europe. A Red Mass was initially celebrated to mark the beginning of the annual term of the courts but can be held at other times. The word “red” was originally used to describe the Mass in 1310, because the justices of the English Supreme Court wore scarlet robes. Over time the “Red” Mass came to have a deeper theological meaning, with red symbolizing the “tongues of fire” that descended upon the Apostles at Pentecost bestowing the gifts of the Spirit.

  • Decretals Gregory IX
    The Authoritative Text: Raymond of Penyafort’s editing of the Decretals of Gregory IX (1234) Edward Andrew Reno III Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Edward Andrew Reno III All rights reserved Abstract The Authoritative Text: Raymond of Penyafort’s editing of the Decretals of Gregory IX (1234) Edward Andrew Reno III The Decretals of Gregory IX, promulgated in 1234, was the first collection of canon law for the Catholic Church invested with universal and exclusive authority, and was the culmination of a century and a half process by which the a now papal-led Church came to be the leading institution within medieval European society. The Decretals, also known as the Liber extra – a compilation of 1971 papal letters, constitutions and conciliar canons drawn principally from the century prior to its issuance – has long been understood as a key text for the study of the medieval papacy, the rise of scholasticism within the universities, and the extension of the Church’s jurisdiction into almost every area of medieval life. The degree to which the man commissioned to edit the collection, the Dominican Raymond of Penyafort (1175-1275), actively shaped the legal content of the Decretals through eliminating, rewording, or supplementing the individual texts has remained elusive, in part because of the complicated manuscript tradition and in part because of our ignorance of all his sources. This dissertation examines Raymond’s editing of the most recent material within the collection, the 195 capitula attributed to the commissioning pope Gregory IX (1227-1241), which in many cases provide definitive statements of the law.

  • The Law of War in Francisco Suárez: the Civilizing Project of Spanish Scholasticism
    Revista da Faculdade de Direito da UERJ, V.2, n.22, jul./dez.2012 P á g i n a | 1 THE LAW OF WAR IN FRANCISCO SUÁREZ: THE CIVILIZING PROJECT OF SPANISH SCHOLASTICISM ∗ Paulo Emílio Vauthier Borges de Macedo ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the law of war in Francisco Suárez. It is not an explanation about a branch of International Law, rather it seeks to investigate the origin of International Law under a very specific point of view. It aims to reproduce the intention of one of the most important authors of the Spanish Scholasticism: that of saving an ancient Christian tradition from its destruction. Though Christian in origin, the doctrine of just war is one of the largest efforts of mankind as a whole to limit the violence of war, even before the existence of that which we call International Law. To maintain the validity of the propositions of the theory of just war – and minimize the effects of war –, Suárez had to change its foundations: from religious doctrine it became a legal one. RESUMO O presente texto analisa o direito da guerra em Francisco Suárez. Menos uma explanação sobre um ramo do direito internacional, neste trabalho, busca investigar-se a origem deste direito, sob uma ótica bastante particular. Trata-se de reconstruir o intento de um dos maiores expositores da Escolástica Espanhola para salvar uma tradição cristã muito antiga da sua destruição. A doutrina da guerra justa, embora de origem cristã, corresponde a um dos maiores esforços da humanidade como um todo para limitar a violência da guerra, mesmo antes da existência de um direito internacional.

STATION 1 Jesus is Condemned to Death We Adore you, o Christ, and we bless you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. “Pilate said to Jesus, “Do you not know that I have power to release you and I have power to crucify you?” (John 19:10) But… “Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd… had Jesus scourged and handed him over to be crucified. The soldiers led him away.” (Mark 15:15-16a) In our work, Catholic Extension also witnesses injustices, where the defenseless and the weak are condemned to suffer, like Jesus, at the hands of powerful forces and institutions.

  • Paulus Vladimiri and His Forgotten Concept of the Just War
    DOI: https://doi.org/10.36280/AFPiFS.2019.2.39 ARCHIWUM FILOZOFII PRAWA I FILOZOFII SPOŁECZNEJ JOURNAL OF THE POLISH SECTION OF IVR 2019/2 TTomaszomasz TTulejskiulejski1 University of Łódź Paulus Vladimiri and His Forgotten Concept of the Just War 1. Introduction The theoretical reflection formulated in the neo-scholastic School of Salamanca has been regarded as the source of the contemporary concept of international relations: going beyond the paradigm of the time – determined, on the one hand, by the idea of the holy war and, on the other, by the doctrine of the just war – the Salamanca scholars laid down foundations for the edifice of modern international law2. Their reflection was heavily influenced by the circumstances that Europeans faced in the 15th and 16th centuries. Firstly, the discovery of America made the white colonizers come into contact with the indigenous peoples of the New World, which resulted in a need for a unified doctrinal position towards them. Secondly, as a result of the Reformation, the Medieval Christianitas, previously united in acknowledging the universal authority of the Pope and the Emperor, disintegrated and split into fiercely opposed factions. These new circumstances made the Spanish thinkers refer to ius gentium as the most widely accepted common ground that could reconcile Catholics, Protestants, infidels and pagans. They had to reinvent universalism in a new, genuine way. They did that by drawing on Christian thought, classical Greek philosophy3 (through Augustine4), and Roman jurisprudence (above all, Cicero5). Using all these, they developed a new paradigm of international relations, including issues of war and peace.
