Central Province CENTRAL PROVINCE CANDIDACY I FORMATION UNITS 1 & 2: THE LAITY “I HAVE COMPASSION FOR THE CROWD” (MATT. 15:32) APOSTOLICAM ACTUOSITATEM DECREE ON THE APOSTOLATE OF LAY PEOPLE Now as received members of the Lay Dominicans it is fitting that we begin our study with the role of the Laity in the Church. We have been called through our Baptism to play an important part in the Church’s apostolate. We must understand exactly what that is and how being a Dominican ties in with it. To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln: It is obvious that God loves the Laity because He made so many of us. Apostolicam Actuositatem is the Second Vatican Council’s Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity. It was approved by the Bishops 2340 to 2 and promulgated by Pope Paul VI on November 18, 1965. The importance of the Laity is noted in the Introduction: “Indeed, the Church can never be without the lay apostolate; it is something that derives from the layman’s very vocation as a Christian…The need for this urgent and many-sided apostolate is shown by the manifest action of the Holy Spirit moving laymen today to a deeper and deeper awareness of their responsibility and urging them on everywhere to the service of Christ and the Church.” (AA 1) Since an understanding of our role in the Apostolate is so important and serves as a foundation for our Formation Program, our study is composed of two units. There is much to read and study in these two months. Especially note how the Dominican way of life fulfills perfectly what Christ and His Church expect of us as lay men and women. 1 “He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:2) UNIT 1: 1. Introduction (1) 2. The Vocation of the Laity to the Apostolate (2-4) 3. Objectives (5-8) 4. The Various Fields of the Apostolate (9-14) STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. What is the Lay Apostolate? 2. Who assigned this obligation of the Apostolate to the Laity? 3. Upon what does the fruitfulness of this Apostolate depend? 4. What makes up the temporal order? 5. What are the fields of the Apostolate? 6. What is the Apostolate of “like towards like”? 2 UNIT 2: 5. The Various Forms of the Apostolate (15-22) 6. External Relationships (23-27) 7. Formation for the Apostolate (28-32) 8. Exhortation (33) STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. What are the various forms of the Apostolate? 2. What could you do as an individual? 3. How could a group perform the Apostolate? 4. What aids are suggested for the Laity for formation? 5. Do Lay Dominicans fulfill the obligation for the Apostolate? 6. How does a Lay Chapter mirror the proposals of this Decree? RESOURCES: Vatican Council II: vol. 1: The Conciliar and Postconciliar Documents ed. Austin Flannery OP This volume should be in every Dominican’s library For an easy-to-read internet version of this Decree: http://www.ewtn.com/library/COUNCILS/v2laity.htm Also Donald Goergen OP: “The Call to the Laity” http://www.spiritualitytoday.org/spir2day/833536goergen.html 3 CENTRAL PROVINCE CANDIDACY I FORMATION UNIT 3: ST. DOMINIC “HE MUST HAVE A FIRM GRASP OF THE WORD THAT IS TRUSTWORTHY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TEACHING, SO THAT HE MAY BE ABLE BOTH TO PREACH WITH SOUND DOCTRINE AND TO REFUTE THOSE WHO CONTRADICT IT.” (Titus 1:9) St. Dominic (1170-1221) was the founder of the Order of Preachers, known as the Dominicans. When you read the Gospel of St. Matthew (which Dominic carried with him and knew by heart), you are struck by the confluence of his life with that of the Master. Both were itinerant preachers; both collected a group of followers; both gave their lives to preach the ‘Good News.’ And yet neither wrote much, if anything, for their followers. It is fitting that we should study the life of our Founder early in our Formation. There are many good biographies of St. Dominic available. The book Praying with Dominic by Fr. Michael Monshau OP has an excellent succinct biography of St. Dominic with extended treatments of his life and examples. The volume Early Dominicans edited by Fr. Simon Tugwell OP treats the life of St. Dominic and his times. Our cover picture is the oldest picture of St. Dominic, painted in the 14th century by an unknown artist. For our purposes we will study “The Life of St. Dominic” by Fr. Gregory Anderson OP. This is available on the internet and also – attached. http://domcentral.org/blog/the-life-of-st-dominic/ As you read this study, ask yourself, “What is there about St. Dominic that struck me the most?” 1 The Life of St. Dominic by fr. Gregory Anderson, OP I. The Formative Years A. The Man and the Boy Blessed Cecilia, one of the early nuns to put herself under the guidance of St. Dominic, described him thusly: He was of medium height: his figure supple, his face handsome and slightly sanguine, his hair and beard blond with a slight reddish tinge, his eyes beautiful. From his brow and eyes there emanated a certain radiant splendor which won the admiration and veneration of all. He always appeared joyous and smiling except when moved with compassion at some affliction of his neighbor. His hands were long and handsome and his powerful voice noble and sonorous. He was not in the least bald and wore the religious tonsure entire, sprinkled with a few white hairs. (Relation of Sister Cecilia, no. 14) St. Dominic’s cheerfulness and joyousness are characteristics remarked upon by a number of people who knew him. And yet, some of his biographers, Bede Jarret, O.P. among them, present him as a rather serious sobersides when he was a boy, not given to sports or play. That is hard to accept . As a boy, there had to be in him the same cheerfulness and joy that marked him as man. There had to be a certain liveliness and vivacity of spirit that we see in the adult. Personalities just do not change that radically in the course of our lives. Certainly, he must have loved games and playing in the fields around his home. He was a real boy and showed something of the leadership ability he had as a man. He was born in the year 1170 in the small town of Calaruega in Old Castile about a hundred miles north of Madrid. His father was the lord of the surrounding area. To know how he got that position you must remember that in 711 the Moors from North Africa had conquered all of Spain except for one corner in the rugged mountainous area in northwestern Spain known as the Asturias. From there the Spaniards began a long and bloody reconquest of their country, known in Spain as the Reconquista. It did not end until 1492 with conquest of Granada, the last Moorish outpost in Europe. About 200 years before the birth of St. Dominic the Spaniards had pushed their way as far south as Calaruega. One of his ancestors was given the land around where the town is now with the provision that he set up a fortification in case of inroads of the retreating Moors. Part of that fortification was to be a tower to serve as a lookout. The remains of many of these towers can 2 still be seen throughout Old Castile. In fact, the territory is called Castile because of these towers or castles. Sentries were posted on the top to keep a lookout for hostile troops. If any were sighted the alarm was given so that the local knight and his retainers could take defensive action. The enemy, incidentally, was not always the Moors; it could be a neighboring knight who wanted to expand his territory or a detachment of soldiers of one of the several kingdoms that made up Spain in those days bent on plunder and loot. The tower built by St. Dominic’s ancestral knight — we do not know his name — is still there and has been maintained in good condition. It is about five stories high. If you climb to the top of it you can look out over the vast plain that stretches to the south and east. One can see 30 to 40 miles so the sentry could spot an enemy force coming long before it got there. But how about the north and east? It is extremely rugged country in those directions so that no effective force could get through. As you stand there, you can imagine the boy Dominic running up the stairs and looking out over the same scene that you can see. It has changed very little since then. Dominic’s family name was Guzman. A Spanish Dominican who taught me at St. Albert’s when I was a student there had a most interesting and plausible explanation for it origin. In his opinion it was originally Goodman, an English name, which in Spanish would quickly be transformed into Guzman. But how would an Englishman get to Spain? In the Europe of that time, the eldest son inherited the title and estate of the father. The second son was destined for the Church. There were few opportunities for any other sons. Very often what they did was to join in some military campaign going on in the hope of getting a title and estate of their own. The Crusades were one possibility and Spain was another for there Christians were also fighting the infidel, the Moors being Islamic.

After mail balloting, the final vote of 231-14, with one abstention, was announced on Aug. 5 in a letter to bishops from Msgr. David Malloy, USCCB general secretary. The change, which must be confirmed by the Vatican Congregation for Clergy, would remove from the catechism a sentence that reads: “Thus the covenant that God made with the Jewish people through Moses remains eternally valid for them.” In June, a group of students danced during St. Aloysius Day festivities, part of the celebration at St. Aloysius Gonzaga High School in Kenya.

  • Roman Catholic Womenpriests and the Problem of Women’S Ordination
    TRANSGRESSIVE TRADITIONS: ROMAN CATHOLIC WOMENPRIESTS AND THE PROBLEM OF WOMEN’S ORDINATION Jill Marie Peterfeso A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Laurie Maffly-Kipp Julie Byrne Todd Ochoa Tony Perucci Randall Styers Thomas A. Tweed ©2012 Jill Marie Peterfeso ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JILL MARIE PETERFESO: Transgressive Traditions: Roman Catholic Womenpriests and the Problem of Women’s Ordination (Under the direction of Laurie Maffly-Kipp) Although the Roman Catholic Church bars women from ordained priesthood, since 2002 a movement called Roman Catholic Womenpriests (RCWP) claims to have ordained approximately 120 women as deacons, priests, and bishops in Europe, North America, and Latin America. Because the women deliberately break Canon Law—and specifically c. 1024, which reads, “Only a baptized man can validly receive sacred ordination”—RCWP acknowledges that its ordinations are illegal, but the group claims nonetheless to perform valid ordinations because they stand in the traditional line of apostolic succession. They retain the modifier “Roman” to signal their lineage within Roman Catholic tradition, yet RCWP’s stated goal is not simply to insert women into the existing Church structures, but rather to “re-imagine, re-structure, and re-shape the priesthood and therefore the church.” This dissertation investigates the

Save to your computer and extract by clicking on the filename. Foreword In our pluralistic age we recognize many traditions have special gifts to make to a rich, well-balanced spirituality for our time. My own life has shown me the spiritual tradition stemming from St. Dominic, like that from his contemporary St. Francis, provides ever fresh insights. No tradition, however, can be understood merely by looking at its origins. We must see it unfold historically in those who have been formed by that tradition in many times and situations and have furthered its development. To know its essential strength, we need to see it tested, undergoing deformations yet recovering and growing. Therefore, I have tried to survey its eight centuries to give some sense of its chronology and its individual personalities, and of the inclusive Dominican Family. I have aimed only to provide a sketch to encourage readers to use the bibliography to explore further, but with regret I have omitted all documentation except to indicate the source of quotations. Translated 1 quotations are mine. I thank Sister Susan Noffke, O.P., Fr. Thomas Donlan, O.P., for encouraging this project and my Provincial, Fr.
