ABOUT THE AUTHOR Gregory Peter XV Cardinal Agagianian is perhaps one of the best­ known of the non-American Cardinals. He has become familiar to Amer­ ican Catholic and non-Catholic readers because of the publicity given to his appointment to succeed Cardinal Stritch as Pro-prefect of the Sacred Congregation of the Faith in June, 1958. At this time and during the period following the death of the late Pius XII, he was considered by many observers as one of the most likely "candidates" for the Papacy. His two trips to the United States in 1954 and in May of this past year have served to bring him to the attention of the American public. Born in the Russian Caucasus sixty-five years ago, Cardinal Agagianian grew up in what is now Russian Georgia.

  • Eastern Rite Catholicism
    Eastern Rite Catholicism Religious Practices Religious Items Requirements for Membership Medical Prohibitions Dietary Standards Burial Rituals Sacred Writings Organizational Structure History Theology RELIGIOUS PRACTICES Required Daily Observances. None. However, daily personal prayer is highly recommended. Required Weekly Observances. Participation in the Divine Liturgy (Mass) is required. If the Divine Liturgy is not available, participation in the Latin Rite Mass fulfills the requirement. Required Occasional Observances. The Eastern Rites follow a liturgical calendar, as does the Latin Rite. However, there are significant differences. The Eastern Rites still follow the Julian Calendar, which now has a difference of about 13 days – thus, major feasts fall about 13 days after they do in the West. This could be a point of contention for Eastern Rite inmates practicing Western Rite liturgies. Sensitivity should be maintained by possibly incorporating special prayer on Eastern Rite Holy days into the Mass. Each liturgical season has a focus; i.e., Christmas (Incarnation), Lent (Human Mortality), Easter (Salvation). Be mindful that some very important seasons do not match Western practices; i.e., Christmas and Holy Week. Holy Days. There are about 28 holy days in the Eastern Rites. However, only some require attendance at the Divine Liturgy. In the Byzantine Rite, those requiring attendance are: Epiphany, Ascension, St. Peter and Paul, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Christmas. Of the other 15 solemn and seven simple holy days, attendance is not mandatory but recommended. (1 of 5) In the Ukrainian Rites, the following are obligatory feasts: Circumcision, Easter, Dormition of Mary, Epiphany, Ascension, Immaculate Conception, Annunciation, Pentecost, and Christmas.

  • The Baptismal Anointings According to the Anonymous Expositio Officiorum†
    Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies, Vol. 1.1, 5–17 © 1998 [2010] by Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute and Gorgias Press THE BAPTISMAL ANOINTINGS ACCORDING TO THE ANONYMOUS † EXPOSITIO OFFICIORUM SEBASTIAN BROCK UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ORIENTAL INSTITUTE PUSEY LANE, OXFORD OX1 2LE INTRODUCTION [1] The extensive anonymous commentary, wrongly ascribed by Assemani to George of Arbela, is one of the most important sources of information on the development of the East Syriac liturgical tradition and seems to date sometime between the seventh and ninth century.1 At many points the author directly quotes the liturgical reformer Isho’yahb III himself. † Originally published in G. Karukaparampil (ed.), Tuvaik: Studies in Honour of Rev. Jacob Vellian (Syrian Churches Series 16; Kottayam, 1995) 27–37, and reproduced here by kind permission of the editor.

Memra V on baptism features in volume II, pp. 105–9 (text); this section is reproduced, with an accompanying Arabic translation, by J. Isaac, in Bayn an-Nahrayn 11 (1983): 329–80. The Commentary on the baptismal rite by Timothy II draws on the Anonymous Commentator at a few points; see the edition and translation 5 6 Sebastian Brock [2] Book V is devoted to the baptismal liturgy, and the fifth chapter of this specifically concerns the anointings. In this chapter the author offers a very interesting—and at the same time idiosyncratic—interpretation of the significance of the four different points at which oil was originally used in the East Syriac baptismal rite,2 namely at the ¾Ćãü, or ‘marking, signing’, at the ¿ÍÐÙýâ, or ‘anointing’, the pouring of oil on the baptismal water at its consecration, and the post-baptismal ¾ĆâÍÏ, or ‘sealing’.

  • On a Delicate Mission: Pope John Paul 11 in Ukraine*
    Religion, State & Society, Vol. 29, No. 3, 2001 On a Delicate Mission: Pope John Paul 11 in Ukraine* GERD STRICKER From 23 to 27 June 2001 Pope John Paul 11 made what he described as a pastoral journey and pilgrimage to Ukraine. The Ukrainian president, Leonid Kuchma, who is under intense internal political pressure, had issued an invitation to the pope with the support of the churches in Ukraine which owe allegiance to Rome. Patriarch Aleksi 11 of Moscow and All Russia protested vehemently against the papal visit, claiming that the Catholic Church was involved in 'proselytism' and 'massive mission' on the canonical territory of the Russian Orthodox Church (the former Soviet Union). Despite this, the pope was convinced that his visit to Ukraine would bring an improvement in interreligious relations, in particular in the relations between the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. It has to be doubted whether he has succeeded in this delicate mission. Any hopes that Patriarch Aleksi would change his mind at the last minute were dashed: the patriarch took the opportunity to make a well-publicised 'state visit' to Belarus' and the representative of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP), Metropolitan Volodymyr (Sabodan, born 1935) of Kiev and All Ukraine, travelled to the Czech Republic 'for medical reasons', in order to avoid meeting the pope. In the course of his 94 visits abroad, Pope John Paul has previously visited other traditionally Orthodox countries (Georgia and Romania in 1999 and Greece earlier in 2001). As in Ukraine, he was invited by the heads of state, but also by the heads of the Orthodox Churches.

  • Narratives of Ethnic Identity and Language Among Young Pannonian Ruthenians in Serbia
    DOI: 10.11649/a.1983 Marina Sakač, an undergraduate at the University of Belgrade, Article No.: 1983 Serbia, Faculty of Philosophy, Department of Ethnology and Anthropology. Junior Associate at Petnica Science Center, Depart- ment of Anthropology. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6441-3371 nr 14/2019 r. e-mail: [email protected] Marina Sakač Narratives of ethnic identity and language among young Pannonian Ruthenians in Serbia “[…] there is not, there has never been anywhere, any people without narrative; all classes, all human groups, have their stories […]” Roland Barthes Introduction his article offers a study of personal experiences and understandings of Ruthenian ethnic minority identity in Serbia. The narrative approach was selected as the most Tappropriate method to gain insight into its intersubjective perception. The narratives under consideration are viewed as personal story-telling and are presented in the context of the political and social discourse of ethnic identities and minorities in particular. The bilingual upbringing of all Ruthenians in Serbia poses as one of the key factors behind a political position which enabled them to avoid assimilation with the majority. This study can be taken as an example of how minorities (ethnic, linguistic or otherwise) can obtain their rights within nation-states through strategic positioning aiming to withstand the cultural and linguistic hegemony of the majority. The migration of Ruthenians form the region of Transcarpathia in the north-east of the historical Kingdom of Hungary (Kraljevina Ugarska) to the south of the realm, today’s Vojvodina (Srem, Banat, Bačka), Serbia, began in the mid-eighteenth century The study was conducted at the author’s own expense.
