And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: John 1:11-13 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

183. Catholicism Imposed catholicism was then proclaimed the official religion in the Americas by the Spanish through indirect orders from the Pope in Rome. http://www.worldtrek.org/odyssey/teachers/catholicismtext.html

Catholicism Imposed Indigenous peoples of the Americas had their own religions, often taking elements from other indigenous religions, much like the Romans borrowed heavily on the Ancient Greeks. Indigenous religions set guidelines for people, explaining how they should live their lives, treat other people and pay homage to their gods. Various indigenous-American stories, such as the Mayan, Popol Vuh, even attempted to explain how the world was created. In many religions corn played a very important role. The Maya believed that the first humans were created from it, thus corn became a sacred food for them, not to mention being an important food staple. Aztec legends as well as lesser known South American tribes also speak of their god's search for the "golden" crop. At a time when the Catholic church held a lot of power within the XIV century monarchs of Spain, the "conquistadors", as well as the missionaries that accompanied them, were not opposed to using violence to convert the indigenous tribes to Catholicism. At the same time, the Spanish were so horror-stricken by the indigenous' use of human sacrifices that they claimed that indigenous religions were works of the devil, thus giving them all the more reason to convert them into God-fearing Catholics. Catholicism was then proclaimed the official religion in the Americas by the Spanish through indirect orders from the Pope in Rome. Indigenous people were forced to renounce their own "blasphemous" religions, and used as laborers in the construction of Catholic cathedrals and other places of worship. Those that did observe the new religious order were punished, sometimes to the point of death. Today, in Latin America, some 500 years after the original "conquista", the great majority of the people are still Catholic. Stop here and discuss:

184. NCAW Winter 03 | Paul Manoguerra On Albert Bierstadt Paul Manoguerra's scholarly article Anticatholicism in Albert Bierstadt's Roman Fish Market, Arch of Octavius. http://19thc-artworldwide.org/winter_03/articles/mano.html

Anti-Catholicism in Albert Bierstadt's Roman Fish Market, Arch of Octavius by Paul A. Manoguerra Fig. 1 Albert Bierstadt (American, 1830-1902), Roman Fish Market, Arch of Octavius , 1858. Oil on canvas, 27 5/8 x 37 3/8 in. Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd, 1979.7.12. By the end of 1858, the American artist Albert Bierstadt had come home to New Bedford, Massachusetts after four years of study in Europe, made his National Academy of Design exhibition debut in New York, where he had been elected an honorary member, and sold "near four thousand dollars worth of pictures" since his return to America. One of the paintings Bierstadt sold that year was Roman Fish Market, Arch of Octavius (fig. 1, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco), recently described as "perhaps his most accomplished genre painting." Roman Fish Market was one of several canvases that resulted from Bierstadt's travels around Switzerland and Italy in 1856 and 1857. He sold the work for four hundred dollars to the Boston Athenaeum, where it was displayed in annual exhibitions fourteen times between 1858 and 1879.

185. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Anne Line A convert to catholicism, hanged in 1601 for the (unproven) crime of harboring a priest. She is one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09270b.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... L > St. Anne Line A B C D ... Z St. Anne Line English martyr, d. 27 Feb., 1601. She was the daughter of William Heigham of Dunmow, Essex, a gentleman of means and an ardent Calvinist , and when she and her brother announced their intention of becoming Catholics both were disowned and disinherited. Anne married Roger Line, a convert like herself, and shortly after their marriage he was apprehended for attending Mass. After a brief confinement he was released and permitted to go into exile in Flanders, where he died in 1594. When Father John Gerard established a house of refuge for priests in London, Mrs. Line was placed in charge. After Father Gerard's escape from the Tower in 1597, as the authorities were beginning to suspect her assistance, she removed to another house, which she made a rallying point for neighbouring Catholics. On Candlemas Day , 1601, Father Francis Page, S.J. was about to celebrate Mass in her apartments, when priest-catchers broke into the rooms. Father Page quickly unvested, and mingled with the others, but the altar prepared for the ceremony was all the evidence needed for the arrest of Mrs. Line. She was tried at the Old Bailey 26 Feb., 1601, and indicted under the Act of 27 Eliz. for harbouring a priest, though this could not be proved. The next day she was led to the gallows, and bravely proclaiming her faith, achieved the martyrdom for which she had prayed. Her fate was shared by two priests, [Bl.] Mark Barkworth, O.S.B., and Roger Filcock, S.J., who were executed at the same time.

187. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Organic Articles A name given to a law regulating public worship, comprising 77 articles relative to catholicism, and 44 relative to Protestantism, presented by order of Napoleon to the Tribunate and the legislative body at the same time that he made these two bodies vote on the Concordat itself. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01756a.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > The Organic Articles A B C D ... Z The Organic Articles A name given to a law regulating public worship, comprising 77 articles relative to Catholicism, and 44 relative to Protestantism , presented by order of Napoleon to the Tribunate and the legislative body at the same time that he made these two bodies vote on the Concordat itself. Together with the Concordat, the Organic Articles were published as a law, under the same title and the same preamble, 8 April, 1802, and the various governments in France which have since followed one another, down to 1905, have always professed to regard the Organic Articles as inseparable from the Concordat. Pope Pius VII however, as early as 24 May, 1802, declared formally, in a consistorial allocution, that these articles had been promulgated without his knowledge, and that he could not accept them without modification. The Organic Articles which refer to Catholicism fall under four titles. Title I deals with "the government of the Catholic Church in its general relations to the rights and constitution of the State." In virtue of these articles, the authorization of the Government is necessary for the publication and execution of a papal document in France; for the exercise of ecclesiastical functions by any representative of the pope, for the holding of a National Council or a Diocesan Synod. Moreover, the Council of State, thanks to the formality of the appel comme d'abus , may declare that there is abus in any given acts of the ecclesiastical authority, and thus thrust itself into the affairs of the Church.

188. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Asia Article intended to give a rapid survey of the geography, ethnography, political and religious history of Asia, and especially of the rise, progress, and actual condition of Asiatic Christianity and catholicism. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01777b.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > Asia A B C D ... Z Asia In the present article it is intended to give a rapid survey of the geography, ethnography, political and religious history of Asia, and especially of the rise, progress, and actual condition of Asiatic Christianity and Catholicism. For further information concerning the religious conditions of the various Asiatic countries, the reader is referred to the special articles on the subject in this Encyclopedia. Asia is the largest of the continents, having a geographic area of about 17,000,000 square miles, or about one-third of the whole of the dry land. It is also the oldest known portion of the globe, the earliest known seat of civilization, and, in all probability, the cradle of the human race, although scholars differ as to whether the primitive home of mankind should be located in South-western Asia, and more particularly in the Tigris-Euphrates valley, as the Biblical tradition of Genesis seems to indicate, or rather in Central Asia, and more particularly in the Indo-Iranian plateau. On the north, Asia is bounded by the Arctic Ocean; on the east, by the Pacific Ocean; on the south by the Indian Ocean, and on the West by Europe, the Black Sea, the Greek Archipelago, the Mediterranean, and the Red Sea. It is united with Africa by the desert Isthmus of Suez, and with Europe by the Caucasus Mountains and the long Ural range. Geographically, Asia may be divided into four great regions: (1) Northern Asia, or Asiatic Russia, which includes Siberia, Caucasia, and the Aral-Caspian Basin, i. e., Russian Turkostan, the Turkoman country, Kiva, Bokhara, and the region of the upper Oxus; (2) Eastern Asia, comprising China, Mongolia, Korea, and Japan; (3) Southern Asia, comprising India, Indo-China, and Siam; (4) South-western Asia, comprising the famous historic lands of Persia, Media, Babylonia, Assyria, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, Syria, Phoenicia, Palestine, and Arabia.

189. Human Dignity And The Human Heart An examination of liberal and classical theological approaches (catholicism, Lutheranism and Calvinism) which arrives at the preeminent Christian doctrines of creation and redemption as the keys to human dignity. http://www.mtio.com/articles/bissar27.htm

Articles and book excerpts used in and referred to on Issues, Etc. Human Dignity and the Human Heart from Human Rights and Human Dignity The path we have traveled in search of human dignity began in the realm of jurisprudence; it ends in theology. We have weighed secular philosophies of human rights and other religious options in the balance and found them wanting, and we have provided a solid evidential foundation for the biblical value system. Now, in conclusion, we examine liberal and classical theological approaches, and arrive at the preeminent Christian doctrines of creation and redemption as the keys to human dignity. The Forest, Not Just the Trees To appreciate fully the significance of the biblical approach to human dignity, one must not just consider isolated scriptural texts bearing on particular human rights issues. The forest has to be seen as well as the trees (and not only when dealing with third-generation environmental rights!). Our final chapter therefore concentrates on the general theological themes most pertinent to human dignity. Treatment of these themes will put in bold relief the unique value .of the Christian message in solving the most intractable difficulties of human rights theory and practice. Theological styles may be roughly divided into two camps: liberal and classical. This distinction, between those who regard themselves as capable of constructing theology de novo and those who maintain commitment to existing biblical and confessional formulations, is today far more significant - even sociologically - than the differences between, say. Roman Catholics and Protestants. Let us begin with a word about liberal theologies and human rights.

190. Circumcision xxx. ``Where the Bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be; even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church Ignatius of Antioch, 1st cAD http://www.kensmen.com/catholic/circumcision.html

``Where the Bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be; even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church'' Ignatius of Antioch, 1st c. A.D Circumcision Galatians 5:6 "In Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by charity" Philippians 3:3 "For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God; and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh." What is a page on circumcision doing on a Catholic site? Because 1) I am angry about this topic, and 2) I believe it's important for Catholics to be very clear about the Church's thoughts on the matter. First, the Church's thoughts: From the document, "Cantate Domino" (A.D. 1442), signed by Pope Eugene IV, from the 11th session of the Council of Florence (A.D. 1439, a continuation of the Council of Basle, A.D. 1431, and the Council of Ferrara, A.D. 1438) : unless they recoil at some time from these errors . Therefore it strictly orders all who glory in the name of Christian, not to practise circumcision either before or after baptism, since whether or not they place their hope in it, it cannot possibly be observed without loss of eternal salvation.
