Fathers of the Church, Part 2: the Latin (Or Western) Fathers
Fathers of the Church, Part 2: The Latin (or Western) Fathers A previous In Focus explored some of the great Fathers of the Eastern, or Greek, Church. This week the Latin (Western) Fathers are highlighted. While there is no official list of the Fathers, since the fifth century the criteria for selection has been that the individuals lived holy lives, were orthodox in their teachings and writings, lived during antiquity (the first through seventh centuries) and have been approved by the Church. According to some historians, there are more than 100 total Church Fathers (East and West); many of the same names are found on the different lists. The Fathers helped define, establish and promote the dogmas of the Catholic faith. They not only explained and advanced Christianity, but they stood against those who would defame, deny or exploit our Lord, Jesus Christ. This author is not able to adequately measure or describe the sanctity of these men, who were popes, bishops, theologians, apologists and writers. Some are saints, and all gave themselves in the service of the Lord. Here are a handful among the giants from the Western Church who have the title Church Father. They are categorized by those who lived just before the Council of Nicea, those in the era of Nicea and those after the council, up through the seventh century. Part one about the Greek (Eastern) Church Fathers was published Jan. 21 and can be found at: bit.ly/fatherspart1. Ante-Nicea Fathers Tertullian (c. 155-220) Tertullian Public domain The Fathers of the Western Church begin with Tertullian in the second century. -

ALPHONSUS LIGUORI Preacher of the God of Loveliness
245 Traditions of Spiritual Guidance ALPHONSUS LIGUORI Preacher of the God of Loveliness By TERRENCE J. MORAN NE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS in the study of O spirituality since the Second Vatican Council has been the attention paid to the spiritual experience of the ordinary Christian. Latin American liberation theologies value the reflections on Scripture of the basic ecclesial communi- ties as a genuine source of spiritual tradition. Increasingly scholars of spiritu- ality are aware of the need to correct, or at least to amplify, the traditional 'schools of spirituality' by considering how these traditions actually influ- enced the life of the ordinary believer. I Often the very perspective that a school of spirituality considers as most characteristic has had the least influence on the life of the ordinary believer; the perspective or practice that the school considers more marginal by contrast has had a formative effect on Christian life and piety. While the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius Loyola are the defining text of Jesuit spirituality, the Society of Jesus has had far more influence on the life of the ordinary Catholic through propagation of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Order of Preachers, the Dominicans, has had the greatest direct influence on Catholic life not through the magisterial theology of Thomas Aquinas, but through preaching of the rosary. Few ordinary Catholics would have much familiarity with the content of the spirituality of Teresa of Avila or John of the Cross, but the Carmelite tradition touched countless Catholics until very recently through the Brown Scapular. When the history of spirituality is studied not from the perspective of schools and classic texts but from the perspective of the religious experience of the ordinary Roman Catholic, there is scarcely a more influential figure in • modem Catholicism than St Alphonsus Liguori. -

St. Agnes of Montepulciano Feast Day: April 20 Born: January 28, 1268
St. Agnes of Montepulciano Feast Day: April 20 Born: January 28, 1268 Died: April 20, 1317 Canonized: 1726 by Pope Benedict XIII Patron: Agnes de Segni was born in 1268 near Montepulciano, Italy to a wealthy family. At age 6, she announced she would consecrate her life to God. She continuously begged her parents to let her enter a convent. While passing a house of ill repute, crows flew from the brothel and attacked Agnes. The people with her saw this as a sign that demons were angry at Agnes who was so holy and would do great things for the glory of God. They prophetically postured that one day Agnes would convert those in the house from their licentious lifestyle. At age 9, she was allowed to join the Franciscan order for women, trading her fine linen for primitive clothes. Agnes was devoted to the Blessed Sacrament, fasted and was seen levitating in prayer. She had a vision of the Blessed Mother holding the Child Jesus who carried a small gold cross on a chain. Agnes was permitted to hold and embrace the Holy Infant. When the visitation was over, Agnes was left holding the small gold cross on the chain. In another vision, the Blessed Mother gave Agnes 3 stones upon which to build a convent. At age 14, Agnes became in charge of finances. A year later, she was transferred to help establish a new Franciscan convent in Proceno. Upon its completion, she was made abbess. Because she was so young, she needed special dispensation from the bishop. -
The Cassiciacum Thesis a Brief Exposition
1 The Cassiciacum Thesis A Brief Exposition by Rev. Nicolás E. Despósito Saint Thomas Aquinas: When there are two things, both of which we speak of as being something or as doing something, then one of them—the one that is first—serves as the form, whereas the other serves as the matter. Sententia libri De anima II, lect. IV. Saint Robert Bellarmine: When Cardinals create the Pontiff, they exercise their authority not over the Pontiff, because he does not yet exist; but over the matter, that is, over the person whom they dispose in a certain measure through election, that he might receive the form of the pontificate from God. De Romano Pontifice, lib II, cap. XXX. Saint Antoninus of Florence: The power of the Pope remains in the Church and in the College with respect to that which is material in the papacy, since after the death of the Pope the College is able, through election, to determine a person to the papacy, that it be such or such a one. Summa Sacrae Theologiae, pars III, tit. XXI, n.3. Introduction AROUND SIXTY YEARS AGO, the theological equivalent of an atomic bomb was dropped on the Catholic Church. After the death of Pope Pius XII, his apparent successor decided to call upon a General Council. The Second Vatican Council, as it is known, took place under John XXIII and Paul VI successively, between the years 1962 and 1965. These two popes - so called - maneuvered the Council in such a way as to favor the most radical ideas which were being defended by the so called “new theologians”. -

Dominican Missions in the Vatican Expostition
CJJominican 8v!issions in the Vatican Exposition By BRO. DALMATIUS MARRIN, 0. P. HEN Pope Innocent III in 1216 gave to St. Dominic and I] his disciples the title of "Friars Preachers," he seemed to have done so under a divine inspiration. Thirty-five years from the inception of the Order, its missions had extended to all parts of the world, to Eastern Europe, Africa, the Graeco-Schismatic Orient, Armenia, Cbaldea and Persia, even as far as India. And today after seven centuries, the same mis sionary spirit impressed by St. Dominic on his sons is seen most conspicuously in the part taken by Dominicans in the Vatican Exposition, not the least glorious of the observances ordered by Pius XI in connection with the celebration of the Holy Year. The thought of the Supreme Pontiff, who deservedly is called the "Pope of the Missions," to have an exposition where Catholic missionary endeavor could be vividly set forth, was a most happy one. The Order of Preachers, always to the front in carrying the torch of truth to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, could not but enter whole-heartedly into a project of this kind. The work of those placed in charge of the Dominican exhibit has been wonderfully successful, a brief de scription of which will undoubtedly prove of interest. The Order's contributions are disposed throughout the seven sections of the Exposition, namely, of History, the Martyrs, the Library, Statistics, the Native Clergy, the Ethnological and Med ical Sections. In the last named Dominican Missions are repre sented by a wonderful exhibit brought there by Fr. -
