December Saints
Saint of the Day December December 1: St. Edmund Campion, Martyr St. Edmund Campion was born in 1540 in Protestant London. An exceptionally bright child, he was given a good education. He went to Oxford in 1557, during the last year of Catholic Queen Mary’s reign. In 1566, he was given the honor of leading a debate in front of Queen Elizabeth I, who was impressed by him. He became a deacon in Church of England, but soon regretted it. He left England to enter a Catholic seminary in France and became a Jesuit in 1573. He knew then that he desired to return to England and secretly minister to Catholics there, despite the dangers. In 1580, St. Edmund went back to England disguised as a jewel merchant. He secretly preached and said Masses for one year before he was arrested, imprisoned and martyred in 1581. St. Edmund is one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. December 2: St. Bibiana, Virgin and Martyr St. Bibiana was an early Christian martyr, probably living during the late 4th century in Rome. Christianity had been made legal by Constantine, but persecutions continued. Bibiana’s parents were martyred, leaving Bibiana and her sister Demetria alone in poverty. They fasted and prayed, refusing to give up their faith. Demetria died of hunger and Bibiana, after undergoing harsh questioning, died a few days later. Their home was turned into a church, and is now the site of the Basilica of Santa Bibiana. December 3: St. Francis Xavier St. Francis Xavier was born in Spain in 1506. -

The Trinitarian Iconography
Vol. 13 FOLIA HISTORICA CRACOVÍENSIA 2007 A n d r z e j W it k o THE TRINITARIAN ICONOGRAPHY The Trinitarian Order, Ordo Sanctissimae Trinitatis de Redemptione Cap- tivorum, was founded by St. John de Matha (d. 1213) with the participation of St. Felix de Valois (d. 1212). The first abode was located in Cerfroid, in the diocese of Meaux in France. Pope Innocent III approved the Order in his bull Operante divine dispositionis of December 17, 1198 and ratified the Rule written by St. John de Matha who described the aim of the Trinitarian mission as ransoming captives from pagans as well as providing hospital care to the sick and the poor. The Trinit arians wear white habits with a blue and red cross on their scapulars and black cloaks. The Order grew very fast in numbers in France where they were also called Maturinians from their Parisian location dedicated to St. Maturin. They spread to Spain, Portugal, Scotland, England, Italy, and Germany. Later they also came to Poland, and the territories of present Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria where they were called White Spaniards. From the very beginning they were involved in redemption and missionary work in North Africa. After a few at tempts at reforming the Order in France, Spain and Portugal in the 16th century, St. John Baptist of the Conception carried out a radical reform, approved by the Pope Clement VIII in his brief Ad militantis Ecclesiae of August 20, 1599. This started a branch of Spanish Discalced Trinitarians, the only one still existing today; since the Order went through difficult times in the 19th century due to the French Revolu tion and numerous suppressions'. -
031-San Crisogono
(031/19) San Crisogono San Crisogono is a 12th century parish, titular and conventual church, and a minor basilica in rione Trastevere. The dedication is to the martyr St Chrysogonus. The complex includes remains of a 4th century church edifice. [1] The Church of San Crisogono, alongside the Churches of Santa Cecilia and of Santa Maria in Trestevere, is one of the most important religious centers in the district extending to the other side of the River Tiber. [g] History Titulus Its origins date back to the fourth century and are probably closely related to the Roman domus in which San Crisogono was taken prisoner before his martyrdom, which occurred in 303 during the persecution of Diocletian. The first documentary reference to the church is as one of the tituli, with its priest in the list of signatories to the acts of the Roman synod in 499. The tituli were the original parish churches of the city, and this one has remained a parish church from then to the present day. The church was then known as the Titulus Chrysogoni. This has traditionally been taken to refer to an obscure martyr called St Chrysogonus, who is thought to have been martyred at the start of the 4th century. However, the Roman church might have been founded by a different benefactor called Chrysogonus, with the link to the saint being made later when his relics were enshrined here (perhaps at the start of the 5th century). The saint became popular enough in Rome for his name to be inserted into the Roman Canon of the Mass, where it remains. -

Thomason August 2020 © 2020 Emily C. Thomason. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Catholic Transtemporality through the Lens of Andrea Pozzo and the Jesuit Catholic Baroque by EMILY C.

Shaftel Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract THOMASON, EMILY C, M.A., August 2020, Art History Catholic Transtemporality through the Lens of Andrea Pozzo and the Jesuit Catholic Baroque Director of Thesis: Samuel Dodd Andrea Pozzo was a lay brother for the Order of the Society of Jesus in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries who utilized his work in painting, architecture, and writing to attempt to create an ideal expression of sacred art for the Counter- Reformation Catholic Church. The focus of this study is on Pozzo’s illusionary paintings in Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio di Loyola in Rome as they coincide with his codification of quadratura and di sotto in su, as described through perspectival etchings and commentary in Perspectiva Pictorum et Architectorum. This thesis seeks to understand the work of Pozzo in context with his Jesuit background, examining his work under the lens of Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises, as well as the cultural, political, and religious climates of Rome during the Counter-Reformation era. -

The Holy See
The Holy See ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE GENERAL CHAPTER OF THE TRINITARIAN FAMILY Dear Brothers and Sisters! 1. I am pleased to meet you on so important an occasion: this year you are celebrating the eighth centenary of the foundation of the Order of the Most Holy Trinity and the fourth centenary of its reform. It is therefore appropriate that the members of the Trinitarian family, firmly rooted in the project of their founder, St John of Matha, and living the same charism, should gather in a "General Assembly" to reflect together on their common problems and possible solutions on the threshold of the new millennium. I greet the Minister General of the Order and thank him for his kind words. With him I greet those responsible for the various institutes of the Trinitarian family, as well as the men and women religious and lay people who have gathered from all over the world for this assembly. It is a particularly favourable moment to intensify your fidelity to the gift of the Spirit received from the founder and to be more vitally involved in the renewal desired by the Second Vatican Council, so that you can meet the needs and challenges of the world today. 2. For eight centuries, through a variety of historical events, the Trinitarian family, motivated and enlivened by its original charism centred on the glorification of the Trinity and on dedication to human redemption, grew and spread in the Church and the world through the flourishing of various institutes and lay associations. -

Seminar on Trinitarian Theology
SEMINAR ON TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY A. THE TRINITY AND THE BLACK EXPERIENCE A systematic articulation of an African American doctrine of the trinity does not exist. In part this is due to the influence of the preliterary slave culture inher- ited from the last century. In its preliterary form the means of communication is not a text, but stories, sagas, songs, dances. Even when individual blacks are highly competent within a literary culture, and can hold their own with the best on their own literary turf, black theologians are eager to honor the wealth inherited. The experiential base of black theology has insured against taking over the ontological categories of the traditional trinitarian doctrine. The black reaction to the desiccated bones of much trinitarian doctrine has been, "What does that have to do with us?" Meeting no black need, it did not win acceptance. Nonetheless, black theology has not totally isolated itself from academic trinitarian doctrine. For instance, the trinity as "person in community" does find resonances with the black experience and enables blacks to meet the other trinitarian formulations built on similar foundations. Blacks can relate to a theology which theologizes out of celebration. The tradition which the slaves brought from Africa had perceived one absolute God, and a number of lesser gods. Behind this conceptuality is the perception that God is transcendent (= the one absolute God), and immanent (= the lesser gods). Whatever trinitarian doctrine among the blacks is, it is functional. Even so, many blacks, especially between ages eighteen and thirty-five, are rejecting black Christian churches for Islam. -

Two famous orders for this purpose...................................... 299 298 GREATEST OF CENTURIES. XXI CITY HOSPITALS — ORGANIZED CHARITY. While the Thirteenth Century was engaged in solving the problems of the higher education and of technical education for the masses, and was occupied so successfully, as we have seen, with the questions of the rights of man and the development of law and of liberty, other and more directly social and humanitarian works were not neglected. There had been hospitals in existence from even before the Christian era, but they had been intended rather for the chronic ailments and as the name implies, for the furnishing of hospitality to strangers and others who had for the time no habitation, than for the care of the acutely ill. In the country places there was a larger Christian charity which led people to care even for the stranger, and there was a sense of human duty that was much more binding than in the modern world. -
