  • The Catholic Challenge During the Thirty Years'
    4 ‘When will the burning start here?’: the Catholic challenge during the Thirty Years’ War The authorities in Rothenburg were spared another problematic encounter with a self-confessed child-witch until 1627, when thirteen-year-old Margaretha Hörber from the hinterland village of Gebsattel began claiming that she had been seduced into witchcraft and taken to witches’ dances by older women. As befitted a teenager, her story was more detailed than that told by six-year-old Hans Gackstatt in 1587, particularly in terms of her descrip- tions of the witches’ dance and her encounters with the devil. However, the questions of whether the experiences of a self-confessed child-witch had been real or illusory and of whether his or her testimony against others was to be trusted, which had perplexed the councillors and their advisers in 1587, also helped shape their dealings with Margaretha in 1627. What was different about the case in 1627 was the political context within which it took place. The Thirty Years’ War had started in 1618, and the late 1620s were years of ascen- dancy for the Catholic Habsburg Emperor, Ferdinand, and the Catholic League, the coalition of Catholic allies under the leadership of Duke Maximil- ian of Bavaria. This ascendancy culminated in the promulgation by Ferdinand of the Edict of Restitution in March 1629 which, among other provisions, ordered the return to the Catholic church of all ecclesiastical properties seized by Protestants since 1552 and constituted ‘a staggering blow to German Protestantism, before which all earlier setbacks paled in comparison’.1 Mar- garetha Hörber’s narrative of witchcraft and the manner in which the Rothen- burg council handled it proved to be firmly embedded in, and expressive of, this wider context of religious conflict, in which a beleaguered Lutheranism appeared to be fighting for its survival against the resurgent forces of counter- reformation Catholicism.

  • From Oppression to Freedom
    FROM OPPRESSION TO FREEDOM John Jay and his Huguenot Heritage The Protestant Reformation changed European history, when it challenged the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. John Calvin was a French theologian who led his own branch of the movement. French Protestants were called Huguenots as a derisive Conflict Over the term by Catholics. Protestant Disagreements escalated into a series of religious wars Reformation in seventeenth-century France. Tens of thousands of Huguenots were killed. Finally, the Edict of Nantes was issued in 1598 to end the bloodshed; it established Catholicism as the official religion of France, but granted Protestants the right to worship in their own way. Eighty-seven years later, in 1685, King Louis XIV issued the Edict of Fontainebleau, which reversed the Edict of Nantes, and declared the public practice of Protestantism illegal. Louis regarded religious pluralism as an obstacle to his achieving complete power over the French people. By his order, Huguenot churches were demolished, Huguenot schools were The Revocation of closed, all newborns were required to be baptized as Roman Catholics, and it became illegal for the the Edict of Nantes Protestant laity to emigrate or remove their valuables from France. A View of La Rochelle In La Rochelle, a busy seaport on France’s Atlantic coast, the large population of Huguenot merchants, traders, and artisans there suffered the persecution that followed the edict. Among them was Pierre Jay, an affluent trader, and his family. Pierre’s church was torn down. In order to intimidate him into converting to Catholicism, the government quartered unruly soldiers called dragonnades in his house, to live with him and his family.

It was the victory of liberalism and the constitutional state, a victory which had immediate and phenomenal demographic and social consequences. In 1857, Vienna had a total population of 287,824, of which 6,217 (2.16 per cent) were Jews.

  • Exaltation of the Holy Cross If You Walk Into Any Catholic Church, You
    Exaltation of the Holy Cross If you walk into any Catholic Church, you will immediately see the cross, the crucifix. Every Sunday we are led into the church by the cross. When we begin mass, we bless ourselves with the sign of the cross. And if you look above the altar, you will see the crucifix prominently displayed. The cross decorates our homes, and for many of us it has even become a lovely piece of jewelry, something we proudly display. But it wasn’t always this way. The cross was once a sign of horror and shame, something that instilled fear and loathing into every heart. Crucifixion was the punishment the Roman Empire reserved for slaves, violent criminals, and those who rebelled against the Roman state. In the Old Testament, the Book of Deuteronomy says, “Cursed by God is anyone who hangs on a tree.” So imagine how difficult it was for the first Christians to preach the gospel of the crucified Christ. Crucifixion was the punishment for slaves, violent criminals, and political rebels. Jesus was crucified. Therefore Jesus must have been … Anyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified) is under God’s curse. Jesus was crucified. Therefore, Jesus must have been under God’s curse. You see, what we take for granted today was a stumbling block in the ancient world, a scandal, a cause for shame. But today we celebrate a feast in honor of the cross; we reverence and proclaim the cross because this instrument of shame and torture has become the source of our salvation.

  • Edict 13. Concerning the City of Alexandria and the Egyptian
    Edict 13. Concerning the city of Alexandria and the Egyptian provinces. (De urbe Alexandrinorum et Aegyptiacis provinciis.) _________________________ The same emperor (Justinian) to Johannes, glorious Praetorian Prefect of the Orient. Preface. As we deem even the smallest things worthy of our care, much less do we leave matters that are important and uphold our republic without attention, or permit them to be neglected or in disorder, especially since we are served by Your Excellency who has at heart our welfare, and the increase of the public revenue, and the wellbeing of our subjects. Considering, therefore, that, though in the past the collection of public moneys seemed to be in fair order, in other places it was in such confusion in the diocese of Egypt that it was not even known here what was done in the province, we wondered that the status of this matter had hitherto been left disarranged; but God has permitted this also to be left (to be put in order) in our times and under your ministry. Though they (the officials) sent us grain from there, they would not contribute anything else; the taxpayers all unanimously affirmed that everything was collected from them in full, but the prefects of the country districts (pagarchae), the curials, the collectors of taxes (practores), and especially the officiating (augustal) prefects so managed the matter that no one could know anything about it and so that it was profitable to themselves alone. Since, therefore, we could never correct or properly arrange things, if the management were left in disorder, we have decided to curtail the administration of the man at the head of Eyptian affairs, namely that of the Augustal Prefect.

  • 5 Myths About the Teaching of the Catholic Church on Homosexuality
    5 Myths about the Teaching of the Catholic Church on Homosexuality Rev. Philip Smith (Parochial Vicar, Most Blessed Sacrament Church and Corpus Christi University Parish, Toledo, OH --- Diocese of Toledo) Myth: The Catholic Church encourages a negative attitude towards people who identify as homosexual. Catholic Church Teaching: The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that persons with homosexual tendencies “must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided” (CCC 2358). The Catholic Church continues Jesus’ mission in offering salvation to all people including those with same-sex attractions. The Catholic Church welcomes parishioners with same-sex attractions as God’s beloved sons and daughters and strives to share with them the joy of the Good News of God’s unconditional love. Myth: The Church condemns persons with same-sex attractions and believes that persons with same-sex attraction should just “pray the gay away”. Catholic Church Teaching: While the Catholic Church teaches that homosexual acts are morally unacceptable, the Church teaches that homosexual inclinations are not sinful in themselves. The Church recognizes that in a significant number of persons their homosexual desires are “deep- seated” and that these desires will accompany them throughout their life. The Catholic Church does not endorse an approach that requires all persons with same-sex attractions to become “straight” or heterosexual. The Catholic Church teaches that God calls all persons, including those with same-sex attractions, to live the virtue of chastity. For persons with same-sex attractions, living chastely includes not engaging in homosexual acts.

  • 230Th Anniversary of the Edict of Toleration-November 1787
    230th anniversary of the Edict of Toleration-November 1787 On November 19, 1787, Louis XVI., attended by the princes and peers of the kingdom of France, came to the court of parliament to present the Edict on the Civic Rights of Protestants, which had been prepared by Baron de Breteuil and Lamoignon de Malesherbes for which General LaFayette had lobbied for on his return to France in 1785. Better known as the Edict of Toleration, it had 33 articles. The first article stated that Roman Catholicism would remain the religion of France, but certain concessions were allowed to the Calvinists or Huguenots but not to Lutherans or Jews. (1) Huguenots were permitted to live in France and to practice trades or industries, without being troubled for the sake of their religion. Certain professions were still excluded including all offices relating to the judiciary whether controlled by the crown or local nobles, and any municipal judicial position. Huguenots were excluded from serving on municipal councils. Protestants were not allowed to teach in public. (2) Huguenots were allowed to celebrate legal marriages with notification of a king’s judge or the Roman Catholic priest of the local parish. (3) The births of Huguenot children must be registered by the royal judges, and therefore were legitimate children when it came to property rights and inheritance. (4) Measures were taken for the burial of those who could not be buried according to the Roman Catholic rite. There were other regulations in the Act that regulated the dress of ministers and pastors in public. Huguenots were denied the ability to assemble and gather together to make collective demands of the King in person or in writing.

  • Constantine's Effect on Early Christianity
    Constantine’s Effect on Early Christianity Jo Ann Shcall Constantine! When you hear his name, do you think of the power and brutality of the Roman Empire, or do you think of the founding of formalized Christianity? Was Constantine good, bad, a mixture? There’s evidence for each position. Why Consider Constantine? The Orthodox Church regards Constantine as Saint Constantine the Great. He did much for the early Christian church from 306 to 337 while he was the Roman Emperor. Constantine was the first Roman Emperor to claim conversion to Christianity. His declaration of the Edict of Milan in 313 is one of his most important early contributions. This edict declared that Christians (and all other religions) would be tolerated throughout the empire, bringing an end to religious persecution. Constantine called together the first council of Nicaea in 325 with 250 mostly Eastern bishops1 resulting in the Nicene Creed, a statement of faith that attempted to unite disparate Christian communities.2 Constantine built the Church of the Holy Sepulcher at the purported site of Jesus’ tomb, which became the holiest site in Christendom. During his reign, he built many basilicas, repaired churches throughout the empire, relieved clergy of some taxes, supported the Christian church financially3 and saw that Sunday was designated as a day of rest for all citizens. He promoted Christians into political offices. Constantine decided his capitol should be moved to Byzantium. He did extensive building in this city, then renamed it Constantinople. This “new city” was said to be protected by relics of the True Cross, the Rod of Moses, and other holy relics.
