LITTERAE SUPERIORIS GENERALIS ROMA Oct. 23, 1986 To the Visitors My dear confrere, May the grace of Our Lord be with us forever! This little letter to you and the longer one to the Province could almost be described as a postscript to our recent Assembly . Would you kindly distribute the en closed letter to the confreres of your Prov- ince . It was the mind of the General Council that the enclosed let- ter might he of assistance to you as you try to implement the wishes of the Assembly. Next, from time to time (cf. Statute 69,60), and at least annual- ly, would you kindly communicate to raze the progress that the houses and your Province as a whole are making in implementing the "Lines". This will help the General Council not only in making the evaluations that the Assembly asked of us (33), but also in com- municating to other Provinces what has been success ful in Yours. Good communication fosters creativity. Lastly, while thanking you for what you are doing in animating your Province, let me assure you that if the confreres here in the Curia can he of any assistance to you irn implementing the "Lines of Action", they will be happy to help. I remain , in the love of Our Lord, Your devoted c'oofrcrc, Richard McCULLEN, is. C.M. Y.S. For some helpful information on local and Provincial plans , you may wish to refer to Vincentiana 1978, 1-10 ; 1983, 74-81. -2- /WMA 0, r. 2.3, 1986 To the Priests, Brothers and Seminarians of the Congregation My dear confreres, May the grace of Our Lord be with us forever! The New Testament always expresses a sense of urgency when it calls us to conversion. "Now is the acceptable time", St. Paul writes, "now is the day of salvation"(2 Cor. 6:2). It was with a similar sense of urgency that the members of the General Assembly, in their final document, wrote to all of us: "The Church and the poor count on its and await our response. Let its not disappoint them" (36). With this letter I want to communicate to you my own urgent desire, and that of the General Council, that all the members of the Congregation become immediately involved in the implementation of " Unum Corpus, Units Spiritus in Christo, Lines of Action: 1986-1992 ''. Last week the General Council met for five days to study how it should contribute to implementing the decisions of the Assembly. We devoted some time also to reflecting on the evaluation we receiv- ed of the General Assembly and examined those tasks that the Assembly assigned to the Superior General and his Council. Let me give you a brief account of our deliberations. EVALUATION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY On the whole, the evaluations of the General Assembly were positive. The delegates commented very favorable on the work of the Preparatory Commission and the full prior participation of the Provinces. In the course of the Assembly itself, many delegates sens- ed that the spirit of brotherhood, the efforts at communication, and the generous sharing of experiences and ideas were in themselves an embodiment of the motto chosen for the Assembly: One Body, One Spirit in Christ. On the negative side, we received a number of comments on the process used at the Assembly, which seemed cumbersome and inflexible to many of the delegates. In regard to the substance of our work, many also felt that, while the "Lines of Action " will he -3- very important tools for the next six years, we were unable during the Assembly to reflect sufficiently on the theological bases out of which these actions should flow, We hope to learn from these evaluative comments. We have already begun to discuss ways of improving our processes at the visitors' meeting in 1989 and at the General Assembly in 1992. SOME DECISIONS During this past week of meetings we reached a number- of de- cisions based on our own evaluation of the Assembly and on the " Lines " themselves. a. We here in the General Council have decided to undertake a collegial study of the Assembly document. Through this study we hope over the next several months to reflect more deeply on the document's theological underpinnings. We will communicate to you the results of our study, at times in writing and at times in our visits to the Provinces. h. Flowing from this study, we will choose "an annual theme for reflection that will serve to build up the unity of all the Provinces"(21). We hope to write a document of a theological- pastoral nature each year to introduce the theme. c. We have decided to form a committee to begin work on a "Ratio Formatiorris Vincentianae" for the major seminary (31). Each of the Visitors will soon receive a letter with further information about the process to be used. d. We will undertake a study of the role of the brother as a lay person living the vowed life in an apostolic society. Frs. Flores and Palrr will begin this study immediately. We hope that it will serve as a means for stimulating vocations to the brotherhood and as a basis

    Baby Jesus and the Universal Christian Church of the New Jerusalem in Gallinaro, Italy Magnus Lundberg [email protected] [Preliminary Version, July 2020] Introduction 3 Giuseppina Norcia and La Piccola Culla 6 The Official Church’s Reactions and the Movement’s Response 11 The Foundation of the New Jerusalem Church 17 Challenges and Controversies 22 Concluding Remarks: From Movement to Church 25 References 28 2 Introduction La Chiesa Cristiana Universale della Nuova Gerusalemme–The Universal Christian Church of the New Jerusalem–was founded on October 4, 2015. Three days later, the Assembly of the Faithful elected Samuele Morcia (b. 1972) Supreme Pontiff Samuele. The headquarters of the Church is located in the small town of Gallinaro in the Frosinone province, about 110 kilometres east of Rome. Of the nearly 2 500 church members most live in the neighbouring regions, but also other parts of Italy, particularly in Sicily, and to some extent abroad. The Universal Christian Church of the New Jerusalem considers itself to be the continuation of the One Holy Catholic Church. They claim that Pope Francis is no true pontiff, but a usurper who has created a new syncretic world religion that has nothing to do with Christianity. Like many similar cases, the New Jerusalem Church has a background in private revelations. Giuseppina Norcia (1940–2008), Samuele Morcia’s mother- in-law, claimed to receive visions and heavenly messages, both as a child and as an adult. After a series of revelations in 1974, she constructed a small chapel in Gallinaro, La Piccola Culla del Bambino Gesù–the Little Cradle of Baby Jesus– which soon became a popular pilgrimage site, where many people claimed to be healed.

První část se zabývá liturgickou reformou Druhého vatikánského koncilu, p řičemž zohled ňuje historický vývoj koncilu i zmiňované liturgické reformy. Následn ě se problematika p řesouvá do pozic tradicionalistického arcibiskupa Lefebvra a jím založeného Kn ěžského bratrstva sv. Pia X.

Blanchard, B.A., MSt. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2018 ABSTRACT EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FORERUNNERS OF VATICAN II: EARLY MODERN CATHOLIC REFORM AND THE SYNOD OF PISTOIA Shaun L. Blanchard Marquette University, 2018 This dissertation sheds further light on the nature of church reform and the roots of the Second Vatican Council (1962–65) through a study of eighteenth-century Catholic reformers who anticipated Vatican II. The most striking of these examples is the Synod of Pistoia (1786), the high-water mark of “late Jansenism.” Most of the reforms of the Synod were harshly condemned by Pope Pius VI in the Bull Auctorem fidei (1794), and late Jansenism was totally discredited in the increasingly ultramontane nineteenth-century Catholic Church. Nevertheless, many of the reforms implicit or explicit in the Pistoian agenda – such as an exaltation of the role of bishops, an emphasis on infallibility as a gift to the entire church, religious liberty, a simpler and more comprehensible liturgy that incorporates the vernacular, and the encouragement of lay Bible reading and Christocentric devotions – were officially promulgated at Vatican II.

  • Turning Point
    Turning Point http://www.remnantnewspaper.com/Archives/archive-2007-0715-turnin... Turning Point Traditional Mass Never Abrogated, Triduum Not ‘Banned’, Traditional Sacraments Restored Christopher A. Ferrara REMNANT COLUMNIST, New Jersey Summorum Pontificum will change the course of history. But along with the liberals, “conservative” Catholic spokesmen still present an obstacle to the restoration of the Church. (Posted July 19, 2007 www.RemnantNewspaper.com) The Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum establishes a turning point in the history of the Church and therefore of the world. The document is a masterpiece of skillful drafting that accomplishes a precise and quite dramatic legal result, but without explicitly declaring to adverse parties the consequences of its own terms. Both proponents and opponents of the Motu Proprio, however, know quite well what the document does in principle. In its press release concerning Summorum Pontificum, the Society of Saint Pius X stated that it “rejoices to see the Church thus regain her liturgical Tradition, and give the possibility of a free access to the treasure of the Traditional Mass for the glory of God, the good of the Church and the salvation of souls, to the priests and faithful who had so far been deprived of it. The Priestly Society of Saint Pius X extends its deep gratitude to the Sovereign Pontiff for this great spiritual benefit.” In his own press release, Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith complained: “We are extremely disappointed and deeply offended that nearly 40 years after the Vatican rightly removed insulting anti-Jewish language from the Good Friday Mass, that it would now permit Catholics to utter such hurtful and insulting words by praying for Jews to be converted.” (As Pat Buchanan retorted: “If one believes, as devout Catholics do, that Christ and his Church hold the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, it would be anti-Semitic not to pray for the conversation of the Jews.

Three days later, the Assembly of the Faithful elected Samuele Morcia (b. 1972) Supreme Pontiff Samuele. The headquarters of the Church is located in the small town of Gallinaro in the Frosinone province, about 110 kilometres east of Rome. Of the nearly 2 500 church members most live in the neighbouring regions, but also other parts of Italy, particularly in Sicily, and to some extent abroad. The Universal Christian Church of the New Jerusalem considers itself to be the continuation of the One Holy Catholic Church. They claim that Pope Francis is no true pontiff, but a usurper who has created a new syncretic world religion that has nothing to do with Christianity. Like many similar cases, the New Jerusalem Church has a background in private revelations. Giuseppina Norcia (1940–2008), Samuele Morcia’s mother- in-law, claimed to receive visions and heavenly messages, both as a child and as an adult. After a series of revelations in 1974, she constructed a small chapel in Gallinaro, La Piccola Culla del Bambino Gesù–the Little Cradle of Baby Jesus– which soon became a popular pilgrimage site, where many people claimed to be healed.
