Catholic Issues: Book Reviews, Articles, Pressing Issues, Discussions Article by Peter Gilmour examining the relatively recent phenomenon of pastoral studies as a program of graduate study, combining the sacred and the secular, the academic and the formational. http://www.adelphi.edu/ci/ARTICLES/GILMOUR95.HTM
Extractions: by Peter Gilmour, Institute of Pastoral Studies, Loyola University Chicago The phrase, "Pastoral Studies" has effectively etched its way into Catholic consciousness and conversation this past generation. Often used interchangeably with pastoral theology, it is a close relative to pastoral ministry, pastoral care, and pastoral counseling. Rhetorical ambiguity is understandable given Catholicism's massive change of consciousness and its emergent theological styles since Vatican II. Add to this picture the movement away from traditional categories of knowledge to interdisciplinary studies coupled with the emergence of new areas of study and focus, e.g. feminism, ecology, ethnic and gender studies. Pastoral Studies in the contemporary Catholic experience is an umbrella phrase embracing many varied forms of knowledge necessary and appropriate for effective ministerial activity. Broadly speaking, the knowledge of Pastoral Studies can be divided between the sacred and the secular. Sacred studies, e.g., theology, Bible, morality and ethics, liturgy and sacraments combine with secular studies, e.g., psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy to form the field of Pastoral Studies. It suggests a curriculum, a planned grouping of subjects and an organized approach to them leading to expertise in ministerial activity. Patricia O'Connell Killen and John de Beer's book, The Art of Theological Reflection (reviewed in this newsletter), well captures this essential melding of knowledge necessary for effective ministry.

Extractions: Before the Spanish colonial rule, the old Bigan had been long traded with the "Sanglay" Chinese traders for it's nice port. Ships from Macau and India also traded in Ilocos. Vigan is known for its Spanish-style brick houses and religious Mecca in North Luzon. The town was founded by Juan Salcedo, grandson of Miguel Lopez de Legaspi who founded the city of Manila. Conquistador Salcedo went to the Ilocos and established a military settlement in Vigan on June 13, 1572, which two years later, he named Villa Fernandina . When Salcedo set up Villa Fernandina near the old settlement of Vigan, he erected a small wooden chapel along the Mestizo river and later the Villa joined Vigan and grew fast as an economic, ecclesiastical and political center. An old map (1753) indicates that Vigan itself is an island and had an important strategic military value at that time. Later established into a poblacion and into Ciudad Fernandina in honor of Prince Ferdinand, first born son of King Philip II of

What Saith The Scripture Topical Links: On Catholicism Or, Roman catholicism Examined in Light of the Scriptures I propose to demonstrate from Scripture that Roman catholicism is not a Christian religion, http://www.whatsaiththescripture.com/Voice/On.Catholicism.html
Extractions: If all would agree that Salvation comes only by the grace of God through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ upon the cross of Calvary " For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9) then adherence to or rejection of the Church of Rome would simply be a test of Christian nobility, i.e., searching the Scriptures for proof to go out or stay in. "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so" (Acts 17:11)

Extractions: Or Father Brett. Frank Martinelli was an impressionable 14-year-old altar boy who yearned to be a priest. He saw a holy future unfolding when the Rev. Laurence Brett, the charismatic young priest at St. Cecilia's in Stamford, Conn., enrolled him in a select teen group dubbed Brett's Mavericks. It wasn't quite the kind of special relationship with a trusted priest that Martinelli expected. On a Washington field trip, Father Brett allegedly fondled young Frank in a bathroom. Martinelli claims that while Brett was driving him home, the priest urged the boy to give him oral sex, blessing it as a way to receive Holy Communion. Like most youngsters 30 years ago, Frank was too ashamed, too scared, too uncomprehending ever to say a word.

Akan Cosmology This site describes Akan cosmology and illustrates it through traditional Akan religious symbols, each of which encodes within its graceful lines a theological or moral belief or lesson. The integration of this rich traditional Akan symbolism into the Roman catholicism of Ghana is shown, as well. http://www.marshall.edu/akanart/akancosmology.html
Extractions: AKAN COSMOLOGY AKAN CULTURAL SYMBOLS PROJECT G. F. Kojo Arthur and Robert Rowe - 1998-2001 Hye anhye - Unburnable The Akan believe that the universe was created by a Supreme Being, whom they refer to variously as O b o ade e (Creator), Nyame (God), O domankoma (Infinite, Inventor), Ananse Kokuroko (The Great Spider; The Great Designer), etc. The Akan religious thought is essentially theocentric and theistic, with the Supreme Being, God at the center of it all. From this perspective, the Akan use their cultural symbols to portray their beliefs about God, their attitudes towards God and His creation, and the Akan's relation to God and His Creation. The Akan also believe that human creativity affects the universe positively or negatively. In essence, the Akan believe the universe is both a natural and social creation. Social creation is in the form of institutions and products human beings have invented. The Akan is required to safeguard the environment of the universe for a continuum of society members consisting of the dead, the living, and the yet-to-be-born. The Akan claim the Supreme Being created life and death, and death overcame the Supreme Being. However, the Supreme Being, having the antidote to the venom of death, was able to overcome death. This Supreme Being

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... A > Henry Abbot A B C D ... Z Layman , martyred at York, 4 July, 1597, pronounced Venerable in 1886. His acts are thus related by Challoner: A certain Protestant minister, for some misdemeanour put into York Castle, to reinstate himself in the favour of his superiors, insinuated himself into the good opinion of the Catholic prisoners, by pretending a deep sense of repentance, and a great desire of embracing the Catholic truth . . . So they directed him, after he was enlarged, to Mr. Henry Abbot, a zealous convert who lived in Holden in the same country, to procure a priest to reconcile him . . . Mr. Abbot carried him to Carlton to the house of Esquire Stapleton, but did not succeed in finding a priest. Soon after, the traitor having got enough to put them all in danger of the law, accused them to the magistrates . . . They confessed that they had explained to him the Catholic Faith, and upon this they were all found guilty and sentenced to die. The others, Errington, Knight,
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Roman Catholic no hint of the Protestant contention that the old religion was a spurious variety of true catholicism or at best the Roman species of a wider genus. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13121a.htm
Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... S > Roman Catholic A B C D ... Z A qualification of the name Catholic commonly used in English-speaking countries by those unwilling to recognize the claims of the One True Church . Out of condescension for these dissidents, the members of that Church are wont in official documents to be styled "Roman Catholics" as if the term Catholic represented a genus of which those who owned allegiance to the pope formed a particular species. It is in fact a prevalent conception among Anglicans to regard the whole Catholic Church as made up of three principal branches, the Roman Catholic, the Anglo-Catholic and the Greek Catholic. As the erroneousness of this point of view has been sufficiently explained in the articles CHURCH and CATHOLIC , it is only needful here to consider the history of the composite term with which we are now concerned. In the "Oxford English Dictionary", the highest existing authority upon questions of English philology, the following explanation is given under the heading "Roman Catholic". The use of this composite term in place of the simple Roman, Romanist, or Romish; which had acquired an invidious sense, appears to have arisen in the early years of the seventeenth century. For conciliatory reasons it was employed in the negotiations connected with the Spanish Match (1618-1624) and appears in formal documents relating to this printed by Rushworth (I, 85-89). After that date it was generally adopted as a non-controversial term and has long been the recognized legal and official designation, though in ordinary use Catholic alone is very frequently employed. (New Oxford Dict., VIII, 766)
