Doctoral Dissertation in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Sacred Theology with Specialization in Marian Studies Director: The Rev. Eamon R. Carroll. 0. Carm. The Marian Library/International Marian Research Institute University of Dayton, Ohio, USA 1996 PREFACE As a religious education teacher and catechist, with an interest in the apostolic catechesis of the early Church, I wanted to explore the role that Jesus' Mother and first Teacher might have played in the nascent apostolic community. An article by Jean Leclercq 1 was instrumental in giving clarity and focus to my interests in Mary as a Teacher in the post-Pentecost apostolic community. Leclercq wrote about the tradition of Mary being left on earth by Jesus for the consolation and the instruction of the apostles. Rupert of Deutz was not mentioned as one of the exponents of this tradition, but the curiosity aroused in me by this article led me to Rupert of Deutz. My sincere thanks go to the late Rev. Jean-Marie Salgado, O.M.I.+l995, my former Spiritual Director, in the late 1960s, at the Pontificio Collegio Urbano "De Propaganda Fide", Rome, for introducing me to Rupert of Deutz and his use of the title Magistra Apostolorum, in reference to Mary's teaching function in the infant Apostolic Church. Consequently, this thesis is an attempt to highlight the Mario logy of Rupert of Deutz, in which this twelfth-century Benedictine abbot referred to Mary as Magistra Apostolorum, instructing the Apostles. Although he probably was the most prolific theological writer of the twelfth-century, Rupert of Deutz is not very well known today. In recent years some interest has been generated in his writings by European scholars in German, French, Italian and Spanish. John Van Engen's book is perhaps the most thorough study on Rupert of Deutz in English in recent times. This dissertation on the Mario logy of Rupert of Deutz, is the first, as far as it is known, on Rupert's use of Magistra Apostolorum as a Marian title. It is this writer's hope that this work will serve as an 1Jean Leclercq, «Mary's Reading ofJesus», Monastic Studies, Vol. 15, (1984), 105-ll6. i introduction to Rupert of Deutz and to his Mariology. Rupert deserves to be recognized for his insights and contributions to Marian doctrine in the twelfth-century, the "golden age of Mario­ logy. "2 I wish to thank my thesis director, Fr. Eamon R. Carroll, for accepting to direct this dissertation, and for graciously meeting with me whether in Dayton, or Chicago, or Rome, to read, correct, and direct the progress of this work. A word of thanks to the official readers of the thesis both at the Pontifical Theological Faculty, the Marianum, in Rome, and at the International Marian Research Institute (IMRI), University of Dayton for their helpful suggestions, and encouragement: Fr. Johann Roten, Director of the (IMRI); Fr. Theodore Koehler, Director Emeritus of the IMRI and the Marian Library; and Fr. Thomas Thompson, Director of the Marian Library.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material subm itted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

Kittelson with Ken Schurb 119 The Sacramental Presence in Lutheran Orthodoxy Eugene E Klug For Luther the doctrine of the Real Presence was one of the crucial issues of the Reformation. There is no way of understand- ing what went on in the years following his death, particularly in the lives and theology of the orthodox teachers of the Lutheran church, unless the platform on which Luther stood is clearly recog- nized. Luther had gone to the Marburg colioquy of 1529 with minimal expectations. In later years he reflected on the outcome of that discussion with Zwingli, noting that in spite of everything there had been considerable convergence except on the presence of Christ's body and blood in the Sacrament. These thoughts are contained in his BriefCor&ssionconcerning the Holy Sacmment of 1544. "With considerable hope we departed from Marburg:' Luther comments, "because they agreed to all the Christian articles of the faith:' and even "in this article of the holy sacrament they also abandoned their previous error" (that it was merely bread), and "it seemed as if they would in time share our point of view altogether!" This result was not to be, as history records. With all the might that was in him Luther protested loudly throughout his life against any diminution of Christ's body and blood in the Sacrament.' Probably none of Luther's works played as large a role as did his famous "Great Confession" of 1528, the Co~kssionconcerning Christ's Supper.

  • Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
    CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH LETTER “IUVENESCIT ECCLESIA” to the Bishops of the Catholic Church Regarding the Relationship Between Hierarchical and Charismatic Gifts in the Life and the Mission of the Church Introduction The gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Church in mission 1. The Church rejuvenates in the power of the Gospel and the Spirit continually renews her, builds her up, and guides her “with hierarchical and charismatic gifts”.[1] The Second Vatican Council has repeatedly highlighted the marvelous work of the Holy Spirit that sanctifies the People of God, guides it, adorns it with virtue, and enrichens it with special graces for her edification. As the Fathers love to show, the action of the divine Paraclete in the Church is multiform. John Chrysostom writes: “What gifts that work for our salvation are not given freely by the Holy Spirit? Through Him we are freed from slavery and called to liberty; we are led to adoption as children and, one might say, formed anew, after having laid down the heavy and hateful burden of our sins. Through the Holy Spirit we see assemblies of priests and we possess ranks of doctors; from this source spring forth gifts of revelation, healing graces, and all of the other charisms that adorn the Church of God”.[2] Thanks to the Church’s life itself, to the numerous Magisterial interventions, and to theological research, happily the awareness has grown of the multiform action of the Holy Spirit in the Church, thus arousing a particular attentiveness to the charismatic gifts by which at all times the People of God are enriched in order to carry out their mission.

  • Dositheos Notaras, the Patriarch of Jerusalem (1669-1707), Confronts the Challenges of Modernity
    IN SEARCH OF A CONFESSIONAL IDENTITY: DOSITHEOS NOTARAS, THE PATRIARCH OF JERUSALEM (1669-1707), CONFRONTS THE CHALLENGES OF MODERNITY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Christopher George Rene IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Adviser Theofanis G. Stavrou SEPTEMBER 2020 © Christopher G Rene, September 2020 i Acknowledgements Without the steadfast support of my teachers, family and friends this dissertation would not have been possible, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to express my deep debt of gratitude and thank them all. I would like to thank the members of my dissertation committee, who together guided me through to the completion of this dissertation. My adviser Professor Theofanis G. Stavrou provided a resourceful outlet by helping me navigate through administrative channels and stay on course academically. Moreover, he fostered an inviting space for parrhesia with vigorous dialogue and intellectual tenacity on the ideas of identity, modernity, and the role of Patriarch Dositheos. It was in fact Professor Stavrou who many years ago at a Slavic conference broached the idea of an Orthodox Commonwealth that inspired other academics and myself to pursue the topic. Professor Carla Phillips impressed upon me the significance of daily life among the people of Europe during the early modern period (1450-1800). As Professor Phillips’ teaching assistant for a number of years, I witnessed lectures that animated the historical narrative and inspired students to question their own unique sense of historical continuity and discontinuities. Thank you, Professor Phillips, for such a pedagogical example.

  • Signs of Royal Beauty Bright: Word and Image in the Legend of Charlemagne
    Stephen G. Nichols, Jr. Signs of Royal Beauty Bright: Word and Image in the Legend of Charlemagne During the feast of Pentecost in the year 1000, there occurred an event which has been characterized as "the most spectacular of that year."1 It was the opening of Charlemagne's tomb at Aix-la-Chapelle by the emperor Otto III. Although the exact location of the tomb was not known, Otto chose a spot in the church and ordered the dig to begin. The excavations were immediately successful, and we have three progressively more elaborate ac- counts of what Otto found, one of them by a putative eyewitness. The first report is that given by Thietmar, bishop of Merseburg (975-1018), an exact contemporary of Otto. Thietmar reports that Otto: was in doubt as to the exact spot where the remains of the emperor Charles reposed. He ordered the stone floor to be secretly excavated at the spot where he thought them to be; at last they were discovered in a royal throne [a royal sarcophagus]. Taking the golden cross which hung from Charlemagne's neck, as well as the unrotted parts of his clothing, Otto replaced the rest with great reverence.2 While this account has found favor with historians for its comfort- ing lack of elaboration, it scarcely conveys the historic drama which came to be associated with the event. Happily that is provided by Otto of Lamello. Otto reports: We entered and went to Charles. He was not lying, as is the custom with the bodies of other deceased persons, but was sitting in a throne just like a living person.
