Full textWhat comprehension of the Church-world relationship emerges from the discussions of the bishops of Black Africa at the meetings of their Synod of bishops between 1967 and 2009? This is the question our present study seeks to explore. On the one hand, it proposes a study of the bishops' discussions, and on the other, it seeks to comprehend the vision which they have of the Church and of her relationship with the world in which it lives – a world with which it seeks to dialogue. The modality of this dialogue with the world is a question that arises, and must be specified. In the first place, the foundation of this theological and ecclesiological research is an exercise in reading the texts. The exercise consists of bringing together and presenting a body of work; as well as examining the context of contemporary Africa, and the ecclesial context of the Church of Africa as the location in which these episcopal communications have been delivered. These contextual elements prepare us for – and lead us into – an analysis of the bishops' discussions from the perspective of a relationship: that of the Church with the world. In the second section, the elements gathered from a search through the whole body of work have been reorganized into a summary of the ecclesiological profile which emerges from an analysis of these discussions by the bishops of Sub-Saharan Africa. In order to reach that point, we have worked through the problem of Church-world relationship in both Vatican II and in the discussions of the African bishops, with the goal of ultimately identifying the principal ecclesiological models which run through them. At the end, in light of the concepts of solidarity, dialogue, and service which are present in Gaudium et spes, a final synthesis evaluates the ecclesiological contribution of the bishops of Africa.

Full textUntil 1060 the authority of the bishops of Poitiers was linked to that of the princes, the kings until 900, then the counts of Poitou (dukes of Aquitaine after 963). The prelates supported the ambitions of the dukes by participating in the peace of God movement and in the control of the episcopal elections in the province of Bordeaux and in the town of Limoges. A loyal and influential family settled to the East of Poitiers, at the very limits of regions barely dominated by the dukes, provided the diocese with several bishops between 963 and 1047. The Aquitaine region and more especially Poitou was chosen by the Popes to introduce the gregorian reform from 1060. The result being the ending of the traditional passing on of the diocese and its temporal possessions within the family. The descendants of the thus thwarted dynasty maintained some interests in the episcopal fiefdoms up until the XIVth century. The bishops were sustained by a great temporal means but which were mainly to be found outside of Poitiers. From 1087, the bishops were recruted in a local reserve of ecclesiastics who had long been prepared for this task and who were dedicated to this disciplinary reform. They lent their support to the new religious currents, but also to hermits, orders of canons, Fontevraud order, monks, military or hospital orders. Finally, the association of the Poitou region to the Plantagenet and Capetian spheres of influence attracted more politically oriented bishops to Poitiers. They continued to vehemently defend their Church's interest against secular justice as well as the kings' desire to demand the right of regalia and oath of loyalty in XIIIth and beginning of XIVth century

Full textThe principle of subsidiarity is studied here in canonic law, and during modern history. The Roman Catholicism has proceeded, less than a century, in a complex acculturation and inculturation, admittedly conditional with respect for religious specificity, about the procedures of subsidiarity. And, furthermore, in order such procedures to be assumed in the power relations internal to this Christian Church. Because the best practice of subsidiarity has acquired, in a real-world situation and in the Church, a reputation of precious contributions to make society more human: a procedural knowledge to articulate the different superior and inferior orders. That this subsidiarity leads to a more efficient participation of everybody to the decisions concerning them. Thus the most adjusted and appropriate forms of subsidiarity can in principle make easier the exercise of the competences legitimately distributed. But, their concrete application is not without raising some difficulties, undue confusion and equivocal competences. The Roman Catholic shaping of this principle of social and political moral of subsidiarity, addressed to all the good societies possibly well-disposed, is advocated, firstly and mostly, since the encyclical letter Quadragesimo Anno of May 15th 1931 from Pie XI. The Roman Catholic Church teaches and recommends steadfastly the application of the principle of subsidiarity to the civil society (ad extra).What about its existence in the modern Roman Catholic Church (ad intra)?

Full textThe aim of this workis to assess the process of the Romanization of the Franch episcopate during the 19th century. The Concordat signed between Napoleon and the Papacy in 1801 was more rooted in the Gallican tradition than the Roman definition of the episcopate. All along the century, and long before the Separtion in 1906, depending from the will of the Popes, the strength of the bishops and the varying benevolence of the governments, there was a “return towards Rome”, proved, for instance, by the introduction of the Roman liturgy in the French dioceses and by the growing respect of the old but abandoned until the middle of the century obligation of the “visits ad limina apostolorum”. The consideration of the bishops status allows to reopen the important historical question to know whether they were state servants or churchmen, in order to define their places in the social hierarchy and to evaluate their impact on the public life. The sources of his thesis are first of all the National archives (Paris), the Vatican Secret Archives (Rome), the archives of the French dioceses, as well the French classical literarure (Stendhal, Zola, Balzac, Anatole France, Huysmans)

Full textControlled by the king, the territorial princes or the local lords, the episcopal sees of the ecclesiastical province of Bourges are all allocated, from the middle of the Xth to the late XIth century, to members of aristocracy : co-option, favour and buying are the main ways to obtain episcopal dignity. This seigneurial influence impede the birth of a provincial identity, that only appears during the Peace of God and the Church reformation mouvements, in which bishops are deeply involved. However, this is the pontifical reformation in the middle of the XIth century that gives a real importance to the ecclesiastical reformation in the province. It contributes to the restoration of legality in episcopal election and to the emergence of a Gregorian episcopate devoted to the Holy See. The recruitment, on the other hand, hardly changes : from the beginning to the end of the period, the prelates, chosen in the local seigneurial class, are competent men qualified for their episcopal office

Full textDeveloped around the question: « What are the bishops’ discursive strategies for turning agents into actors of desired change, and hence into peacemakers », research shows from the rhetorical analysis of eight speeches by the bishops of the CENCO, the impact and pragmatic of their speeches in the reconstruction of the peace in the DRC. To be based on an empirical basis the socio-political crisis in the DRC (1990-2010), the rhetorical analysis of the episcopal word, emerging in the pragmatics of communication as elaborated in the theory of C. Perelman’s argumentation, in the argumentative analysis of R. Amossy’speech and P. Charaudeau’s political discourse, deals with the reconstruction of the Nation, the consolidation of peace and the prospects for a peaceful, just and prosperous democratic Congo. The analysis raises two major issues: it pursues a pragmatic aim in order to produce an effective impact on the audience and constructs new meanings, precisely, a new system of values on which to build the Nation. Putting the focal point on the values of the ethos: paradigms of « must-do » and of « bring-into-being », the research is inscribed in the moral theology, precisely theological ethic. These structuring values are normative principles, principles of reflection and anchors that the theological and ethical discourse on peace. To the counter values that threaten peace, analysis proposes, starting from the elaborations of P. Ricoeur on responsibility and coherence, and of M. Foucault’s on truth, an ethic of responsibility and an ethic of coherence backed by eths ethic of truth. Peace is a civic responsibility, a component of the ethics of fraternity built on the ethics of truth. The alethic generate the ethic of coherence among the recipients. The correctness of discourse the authenticity of life, the conformity of speech to the way of living and acting, the ethics of coherence as a mode of sincerity and authenticity of life, make it possible to build peace and self-Homonoïa in the DRC. Keywords: peace, ethos, logos, doxa, dialogism, values, change, reconstruction, consolidation, pragmatics, rule of law, rhetorical analysis, discourse analysis, ethic of responsibility, ethic truth, ethic of coherence.

Full textP-m theas, first bishop of montauban, then of tarbes and lourdes, has left popular stock-pictures of himself as a peasant, a worker of the french resistance and a red. The historian is confronted with these pictures hiding the true nature of his character but also with the problem of sources (as they aren't all available) and that of biography. P-m theas protested against the persecution of the jews in 1942. Though he has first supported the vichy government, he also rebelled against the labour deportation and against the intimidations of the german occupation troops. After acting as a diplomat between france and the holly see, he became involved in social issues, fighting frontically against communism. Unable to find a solution to the dramatic shortage of religious callings in his diocese, incapable of keeping up a good relationship with the clergy, he nevertheless proved to be a very good bishop for lourdes as he understood the role the sanctuary could have in the world and decided that its theological message should be studied, thus giving lourdes the place it deserved within the church

Full textEcumenical relations tend to crystallize around the question of ministry, a subject on which current dialogue seems to be blocked. For fifty years, the Lutheran and Reformed Churches have been engaged in dialogue at the international level with the Roman Catholic Church on this question. Numerous reports have been produced. This study analyzes the strong convergences, the legitimate differences and the divergences which appear in these dialogues on the apostolicity of the Church, the importance of the common priesthood of the baptized, the necessity of a special ministry conferred by ordination for the service of preaching and administration of the sacraments and the essential importance for the Church of a ministry of episkopè to protect the integrity of the faith and preserve the unity of the church. The study demonstrates that ministry is not the ultimate question, but one that reveals fundamental ecclesiological issues which appear in the connection between eucharistic and ecclesial communion, the structuring of the Church on a universal level and its relationship with local Churches, the presence in fullness of the Church of Jesus Christ in one or several particular Churches. The study offers a reflexion which prepares the ground for moving forward to a mutual recognition of ministries which, although not currently on the agenda, nevertheless still remains possible

Full textThe bishop holds an inherent authority from the apostolic succession, the fullness of the sacrament of orders, the multiple power that canon law bestows upon him. The authority of the bishops in Africa is reinforced by the distinctiveness of their status, whether it is at the social, cultural or political level. They are hardly disputable. Presbyters always have to refer to their bishop in the exercise of their ministry, no matter the size of that ministry, and that because of the legal binding of the incardination. This guarantees the governance of the priests, the hierarchy and the efficiency of diocesan administration. However, the bishop’s authority doesn’t always prevail because of the tribalism, the abuse of power of certain priests and the disobedience that puts a strain on the authority. It must be noted that certain bishops also abuse of their authority, violate in impunity the ecclesiastical norms and fail to exercise their responsibilities to the priests’ detriment. Therefore, it is necessary to return to the importance of service in the exercise of the episcopal ministry and to reinforce the rigorous application of universal law of the Catholic Church. If the Supreme authority of the Church is willing to manifest its evolution by severely sanctioning the bishops who fail their mission, there will be a true opportunity for change in order, for the ecclesiastical institution who faces the diocesan realities in Africa, to advance more largely in terms of control, caution, sanction and protection of the rights for both the priests and the laity

Full textAs it is suggested within the title, the present thesis focuses on the canonicity of the Conference of bishops. It aims to reflect the degree ofauthority of this new specifically Latin Institution. The bishops Conference has become a permanent body, while the Synod of bishops whichwas born in 1965, under Pope Paul VI did not receive this feature. Is the Conference of bishops an expression of episcopal collegiality? TheSecond Vatican Council (1962-1965) was admitted as a component of this collegiality. Vatican II was consecrated and institutionalized(Constitution Lumen Gentium and Decree Christus Dominus), but failed to raise any issue relating to its authority and jurisdiction. The 1969Synod of bishops, whose theme was announced, more precisely lived collegiality, also addressed the question of episcopal conferences. Atthe Synod Assembly, the debate has mainly concerned the means to implement in order to achieve a real and effective cooperation betweenRome and the bishops' conferences, and to ensure greater autonomy to these conferences, without impeding the freedom of the Pope, orundermining the authority of the diocesan bishop. There ensued a greater commitment to the principles which govern, on the one hand, therelationship between the Episcopal Conferences and the Apostolic See, and on the other hand, the links between the different episcopalConferences.But that debate has still not been completely invalidated, especially as it refers to the teaching authority of the Conference of bishops. Thejuridical qualification, in 1983, through the efforts of the latin codification seems to have been insufficient.The Synod of Bishops, in 1985, demonstrates this persistent discomfort. It has formally requested a reassessment of the institution of theConference of bishops: « Since the Episcopal Conferences are particularly useful, even necessary in the current pastoral work of theChurch, we want to study their theological " status " so that in particular the issue of their doctrinal authority would be more clearly anddeeply explained, taking into account what is written in the conciliar Decree Christus Dominus, item N° 38 and in the Code of Canon Law,can. 447 and 753 ». This situation derived to two institutional efforts: an advisory one (The Instrumentum laboris of 1987 of theCongregation for bishops), then another one, a decision (the Motu proprio Apostolos suos 1998). In this last theological standard and juridicalrequalification, Pope John Paul II reaffirms, more decisively, the specificity of the Conference of bishops. This extensive file may seem to beredundant and haunting. Researchers can notice that the problem of authority of the Conference of bishops remains difficult to determine. Infact, are the main parameters of the ecclesial structure not deeply questioned ?

Full textIn the Middle Ages, Clerics bearing arms, often bishops, regularly appear. Both priests and secular lords, these men fight for various reasons: to serve the king, for the cause of the Church, or even for their own interests. This is a study of these prelates and of the cultural, legal and social norms that condition their behaviour: noble and military culture, various services owed to the the king, limits brought by canon law. The chosen period begins with the Great Schism (1378) and ends at the dawn of the Lutherian Reform (1517). In France, this time is marked by the omnipresence of war, especially in the first half of the century; prelates often have to take part in these conflicts. On the other hand, the Hundred Years War induce the development of new military institutions, which tend to discharge bishops and abbots from the old feudal obligations. Prelates who engage in warfare are only rarely punished, even the most scandalous ones.At the councils, critics are expressed against them, but they lead to no conclusion. In fact, many reasons may justify the conduct of fighting bishops

Full textThe chapter of the Autun Cathedral appeared as soon as the 9th or 10th century as ore of the liveliest religions institutions in Burgundy. The 11th-13th century period represented a climatic moment in history of the chapter, there was indeed stability in its recruitment from the aristocracy and the wealth of its patrimony was cleverly administered. It was a center of prayers with an all the more growing reputation as it relied on Saint Lazarus’ relics. The Saint’s Sanctuary, now transformed into a Cathedral, would attract numerous pilgrims and would gradually be turned into a burial place. The canons would organize the liturgies and lead commemoration services that proved extremely financially rewarding. Throughout the 14th century, this well-balanced organization was shaken off as a consequence to the popes’ intervention as they now decided who would get the profits. It was also because of the Dukes of Burgundy who, as part of modernized conception of power, tried to take back some of the privileges that had been previously granted

Full textJustice and forgiveness are like two poles of a dialectic that unites them to the point of making them inseparable. Forgiveness is a free gift that comes from a personal approach while justice is a natural or legal right that every human being is entitled. Indeed, forgiveness is not incompatible with justice. It coexists with justice without interfering. The work of one is supplemented by the contribution of the other. In this regard, there cannot be closure with forgiveness without justice. Likewise, there can be no reconciliation with justice without forgiveness. Thus, forgiveness is the fruit of justice. In fact, forgiveness is an act of love beyond fault that breaks pain and hatred. Forgiveness grows whoever offers it and contributes to the happiness of others. The past is vanquished and transcended. Justice is a safeguard that removes discord and inequality. From this point of view, justice and forgiveness are two interacting virtues that bring moral and spiritual fulfillment to human being. They are at the service of charity

Full textThe French episcopate, renewed by Pius XI after the condemnation of the Action française (1926) in order to substitute the spirit of conquest for the spirit of religious defense, is deeply united. Non only this community is favored by the shared implementation of the specialized catholic action groups, but it also bears the war veteran mark. French and catholic identities are intimately combined in the new prelates anxious to promote the integration of the faithful into the national community and to associate patriotism and pacifism through optimistic speeches. Throughout the thirties, those aspirations offended the old and more conservative generation of bishops. But in 1940, Pétain represented the federative figure for the entire catholic hierarchy. This relationship was not altered by time and, even though a few bishops stood aloof (reactions of summer 1942), most prelates remained the tragic prisoners of their loyalty to Marshal Pétain until the end. The arrests that took place at the end of the Occupation period were thus erased by the dismissals of the Liberation. Unable to recognize the action of the resistant youth, the generation of war veterans bishops lost the heroic credit they had gained in the trenches. The repercussions of getting old was notable and expressed themselves through a new incomprehension of time (post-war purges). The objections raised about the hierarchic authority during the next decade (worker priests) further emphasized this isolation. However, the efforts taken to adapt the episcopal message should be acknowledged (decolonization). Neither should Vatican II hide the institutional improvements made to the church hierarchy during the anterior (plenary assemblies). Thanks to the long life of Pius XI bishops generation (thirty years up to the Council), it is possible to develop this study following the ryhtm of individual biographies : youth, maturity, old age

Full textBetween the middle of the Vth century, more particularly after the murder of Valentinian III (455), and the very end of the VIth century, the period of the establishment of a temporary balance between the Byzantine and Lombard forces, Rome was the theater of important social, economic and political transformations. In this troubled context, the episcopacy appeared gradually as the only institution which was stable enough to execute several tasks formerly inherent to the municipal and imperial civil servants. To name only a few examples, the Roman bishop found himself in charge of responsibilities so profane as the supply of his city, the appointment of certain magistrates or the negotiation of treaties and truces. With more than 1 520 acts for the only period between Leo the Great and Gregory the Great (440-604), the papal correspondence constitutes the main information source on this not fully known aspect of the episcopal office in Rome. For a long time avoided, even ignored, by the historians of the Roman civil world, a great part of these documents has been little analysed. The findings are often novel, especially when texts are put in perspective. Before concentrating on the examination of the capacities of the bishop of Rome in the temporal field, it seemed fundamental to dedicate a complete historical study on the ancient papal acts, in juridico-canonical, diplomatic and, on some precise points, philological matters. The present work also attempts to propose approaches of the socioeconomical and sociopolitical history of the Apostolic Seat, being mainly interested in the papal conception of the difficulties of Late Antiquity, in the social origin and relationships of the holders of the episcopate, in their role in everyday life as well as in the key element of the wealth of their institution : the patrimonia

Full textMgr Eudoxe Irénée Mignot, bishop of Fréjus then archbishop of Albi has been, in reason of his competence in the biblical domain, the most implicated in the modernist crisis than any other French bishop of his time. His fondness for Loisy and the unfailing support that he brought for the suspect then condemned and finally excommunicated exegete have been, for the other French bishops and for the Roman magistrate, a source of astonishment such that his orthodoxy has been the object of a stake interest from the thirties into the twentieth century. In the face of the principal questions in discussion in the Catholic church during the quarter century preceding the first world war : nature of revelation, characteristic of the faith's knowledge who respond to it, value of the dogmatic formulas that express them, role and methods of the apologetic who establishes it as well-founded, Mgr Mignot estimated that the Church had nothing to fear the consideration of the results of historical-biblical criticism and from an apologetic who would give more way to the demands of the modern conscience and to the idea of development of the doctrine. His great culture and his open-mindedness accommodated themselves to ideas that he didn't necessarily share and to initiatives that he did not always approve but that he considered as manifestations of the very vitality of the Church and that only time allow to make the selection "between the chaff and the grain". His concern of taking into consideration "the state of mind" responds first to a personal necessity, that of "thinking his faith", that is, to justify it in reason. In this effort, Mgr Mignot has brought back into questions the rapports between authority and conscience. Regarding his experience, one can understand how believers, without renouncing to the necessary validation of the faith by an institution but in accepting as a future answering given the aspiration of the consciousness to a legitimate autonomy, has contributed to offend progressively the intransigent model

Full textPierre-Marie Gerlier is united with the diocese of Lyon whose he was in charge of about thirty years between I937 and I965. Especially during the Second World war he had to take position in front of the Government of French State, Shoah and Resistance. This darkened years brought about him friendships and, also, charges. Astonishing, he's the symbol of episcopacy in spiritual resistance and too the symbol of representative of compromised catholics. This man was particulary an integral catholic engaged since I902 in the French Youth catholic Association for better living conditions, militant for the papal thinking result of Rerum novarum, guided to the apostolate, advocate of an ostentatious Church in a republican and secular nation, protagonist of a religion based on a personal devotion, sacrament of the eucharist and marian piety. Became priest, Pierre-Marie Gerlier, in his different assignments (direction of Christians' Associations in Paris- I921 to I929-, Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes- I929-I937-, Archbishop of Lyon) declare this catholic thinking with conviction and declamatory talent. Certainly the integral Roman Catholicism establishes his positions before, during and after the war

Full textThe thesis presents a study of the catholic people of Moselle during the World War II which includes the episcopal hierarchy, the clergy, the congregations, the pious laity and the practitioners. It concerns as well the events occurring in Moselle than in the reception departments in the south of France after the evacuations from 1939-1940 and the expulsions from 1940-1941. The exhaustive study of the archives of the Bishopric, rather large because the priests have written a lot face to other sources and in particular German sources, helped to understand this two-headed that gives the Moselle particular interest since it was both face anti-Christian Nazi policy because of the annexation and the conciliatory policy towards the Church of the French State due to the transfer of more than a third of its population and half of the clergy and religious. This two-headed, sole in France, even in relation to Alsace itself annexed to the Reich, gives originality to the Church of Moselle. This study, priori regional, becomes national enrolling in those from 80’s upon the Church of France, or even European, because the Moselle was experimentation field of a Nazi anti-Christian policy. This study becomes sociological when it shows the consequences of the religious practice of the dispersion in a rather hostile environment. After demonstrating the omnipresence in the Moselle Catholicism community became an identity element partially related to Concordat status and keeping of religious schools, we respected the chronology to show the impact of acts of war on the Moselle Catholic people. We divided our work into two parts, November 1940 and expulsions constitute the breaking point. With computer skills, we were able to maintain accurate statistics, mapping religious practice and dispersion. Sometimes this requirement to fetch the source and the historical analysis that ensued jostled the patriotic memory. This study aims to fill a historiographical vacuum and be an additional element in the knowledge of the annexation of the Moselle, the politic of Nazification and the Moselle diaspora

Full textA commoner promoted by King Charles-Emmanuel III of Piedmont-Sardinia in May 1764, his Lordship Biord represents an atypical bishop model in the Age of Enlightenment. A boarder prelate, he inherits a diocese in jeopardy, due to land reconstruction at the instigation of Torino and Paris. A traditional apologist, he fights against new ideas coming from Voltaire's Ferney. A rigorist, he relies on post-tridentate pastoral to preserve the diocesam catholic area. In the meantime, the bishop of the Savoyard "in-between" builds networks to make himself heard beyond the mountains of the Geneva-Annecy diocese. This episcopate marks the rising of the diocesan administration which favours the appointment of the prelate to the service of the King. After two decades of episcopacy (1764-1785), his Lordship Biord leaves an Episcopal palace under construction, but a more rational and professional organisation of his diocese

"Étude comparative sur les processus d'accès au ministère ordonné : le sens du ministère épiscopal et la structuration de l'Eglise qui se dévoilent dans les procédures d'installation ou d'ordination à l'épiscopat (évêque, surintendant, inspecteur écclésiastique...) et au presbytérat (prêtre, pasteur...), dans l'Eglise catholique-latine et certaines Eglises luthériennes, réformées, anglicanes et méthodistes en Europe occidentale et aux Etats-Unis." Paris 4, 1991. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA040075.
Full textFrom an analysis of the liturgico-canonical institutions in three different periods, the complexity of the structure of ordination and the relational dimension of the ordained ministry in the structuring of the church are discovered. Ordination is a complex process, which links ministry, local church, profession of faith and communion. This concrete process is at the same time communitarian, liturgical and juridical, and, through these traits, sacramental. Christian ordination cannot be reduced to a simple rite of installation or assuming a charge but is an ecclesial process whereby the Christian receives a charism for the edification of the church. The significance of the pastoral ministry of direction is best summed up by the functions: 'episkope' and the role of presiding over the building-up of the body of Christ

Full textThis work intends to analyze some aspects of the Spanish projection in the Holy Empire during the 16th and the 17th centuries through the role of the archbishops of Mainz who also are territorial princes, arch-chancellors for the Empire and electors. The study begins when Emperor Charles V abdicates, an event that compels the Habsburgs in Spain and those in Austria to find a new way to organize their relations. First, Philip II goes on using the family and dynastic links that tie him to the emperor. Nevertheless, with Rudolph II's refusaI to consider Spanish wishes and with the beginning of the Flemish upheaval, the Catholic King has to build up a new net to increase his influence in the Empire. As a consequence, nets of clients are installed progressively and the archbishops of Mainz have a leading part in them: they keep contacts with ail of the princes in the Holy Empire and they can warn the Spanish King with the intelligence they collect, they have an influential role in the Electoral College where they can speak for the Catholic Monarch This alliance is possible thanks to the same definition of the Empire they share and it works until the last decade of the Thirty Years' War. Then, as the Spanish money arrives with a greater irregularity in the Empire and as discrepancies in the political objectives appear, the archbishops of Mainz leave the Spanish clientele and become closer advisors of the emperor

Full textNicolas Psaume, a native of Chaumont-sur-aire (Meuse-France), enters the order of premontre in 1538. Trained in Paris in the tradition of Gerson, he dedicates himself to the reforming of the abbey Saint-Paul of Verdun. Installed as bishop of Verdun in 1548 by cardinal jean de Lorraine, he takes possession of e diocese without resident bishop for forty years and which, because of its general state, requires a complete reform. As bishop and count, Psaume succeeds it win recognition from the mobility and in re-establishing episcopal authority. Having been sent to the second and third sessions of the council of trent by the emperor of Germany on whom he his dependent, Psaume plays an important role in the discussion of the decree regarding the divine institution of bishops and those decrees regarding reform. In the tradition of Barthelemy des martyrs, archbishop of Braga, he inserites himself ever he manages only with difficulty to change the stand of Charles of Lorraine whose client he is. Having returned to his diocese in Verdun, he dedicates him to the application of the tridentine reforms. He would like to maintain the unique autonomy of his town but the obligation to fight against Protestantism forces him to accept military aid from the king of France, thus achieving the policies of the house of Lorraine in uniting to france the "three bishoprics". Psaume is the witness of a popular theology due to his works, many of wich are still inedited. His line of thought: the calling of all men to paradise through the struggle of living a Christian life. He elaborates lengthily on the sacraments of Christian life and especially on the sacrament of the holy orders and its demands. In the likeness of Borromeo, Psaume reforms his diocese by the means laid down at trent : diocesan synods, pastoral visits, the formation of clerics, the foundation of a college trusted to the Jesuits, and of "small schools", and preaching. He appears as the typical tridentine prelate in that he applies the council in all aspects. He is one of the rare reforming French-speaking bishops of the XVIth century. The second volume contains 215 pages often unedited

Full textFrançois-Gaspard de Jouffroy-Gonsans belongs to the French episcopal body involved in the second half of the eighteenth century, a time of transition. The objective of this thesis is to understand the individuality of this prelate from the angle of his Episcopal practice, but also of his social, political and religious commitment, and the way his personality was sometimes praised, sometimes criticized. The atypical ecclesiastical career of this young provincial nobleman is traced when studying the networks which supported his career. After being appointed in 1774 to the seat of Gap and then transferred to the more prestigious seat of Le Mans in 1778, Bishop Jouffroy-Gonsans appears as a farmer and a director of the diocese. As he is anxious to improve the practice of the faithful and the reformation of the clergy which he is responsible of, he is still very attached to the intelligence unit and Gallican French episcopate. His diocesan action proves to be the result of an adaptation of the Tridentine ecclesiology ideas of the Enlightenment. After being elected to the General Estates in 1789, and as a deputy member sitting on the right-side of the Constituent Assembly, he gets involved in a first counter-revolution against the religious field. Exiled in 1792, he carries on his mission in the diocesan administration and organizes a missionary system to keep on reforming the clergy and maintaining Catholic worship in Maine during the revolutionary period

Full textThis thesis is based on three main funds: the Vatican Secret Archives, the Episcopal Archives of Münster and the Municipal Archives of Münster.Bishop von Galen was struck head-on Nazism upon his election as bishop of Münster in 1933 and until 1945. He opposed the racist neo-paganism of Hitler's regime and has repeatedly denounced anti-Christian Nazi propaganda, trying to immunize his followers against the official ideology of blood and soil. He also fought against the Nazis school projects, the program of euthanasia, eugenics, the persecutions against the press and opponents, etc. However, he argued in part the foreign policy of the Third Reich.As bishop, he had the support of Rome and Pacelli / Pius XII. Within the German episcopate, he clashed with Bishop Preysing, bishop of Berlin, the prudent policy of Cardinal Bertram, President of the German Bishops' Conference of Fulda. Galen has repeatedly called on his colleagues to publicly denounce the Nazi regime.Contrary to recent historiography about Galen, it was revealed that Galen was not an apostle of democracy and defender of human rights. Anti-liberal, traditionalist, patriotic, reactionary, anti-democrat, Galen was a right or extreme right, who opposed the return of democracy in Germany in 1945 and the policy of the Anglo-Americans . We therefore can not present it as an anti-Nazi liberal bent. All his life, Galen was an anti-modern philosophical and theological meaning

Full textThis study gives a critical edition for five treatises written by archbishop of Rheims Hincmar (845-882), between 873 and 882, the aim of which is to define the royal function : De regis persona (873), De fide Carolo regi seruanda (875), Ad Ludouicum Balbum (877), Ad Carolum Crassum (879) and Ad episcopos pro institutione Carolomanni (882). An original French translation complements this edition. Hincmar’s theological and political works are situated in the political and intellectual context of the second half of the ninth century : when carolingian kingship underwent successive reconfigurations. The archbishop of Rheims, thanks to thirty years of practice of episcopal function, tries to guide three generations of Carolingian kings. The enquiry into the sources reveals firstly, the importance of the Bible; secondly, the weight of late antique patristic thought; thirdly the work and reading methods of the bishop. The commentary highlights various elements of the Carolingian context and the original way Hincmar uses his sources. The vision of power he progressively develops thus comes to light, regarding the power of the bishop, warden and double of the king, within an exhortative discourse
Cobzaru, Daniel. "L'organisation de l'Église au IVe siècle et ses fondements canoniques." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013STRAK007.
Full textThis work provides a canonical and historical approach to the organization of the Church in the 4th century, having as main purpose the reconstruction of the face of the Church according to some key aspects, as well as the understanding of how the canons of this period have shaped its face. This return to a stable organization of the Church reveals inventiveness, which the Church has shown, in many circumstances, to meet the challenges of this era. The councils of the 4th century, as well as the canon law concerning the election and the ordination of the bishop, are considered in the direction of significant detail. The study pays particular attention to the Apostolic Canon 34, which is today the most commented and cited canon in the Orthodox community, not only to legitimize the organization of autonomous and autocephalous Orthodox Churches, but also to justify the jurisdictional rights of autocephalous churches in their diaspora

Full textOn the 4th of November 1847, Msgr de Bruillard, the Bishop of Grenoble, sets up a commis-sion of inquiry aimed at clearing the way for the doctrinal judgment he will have to pass on the alleged apparition of the Virgin Mary at La Salette on the 19th of September 1846. In doing so is merely applying once again the usual rules of the Church in matters pertaining to the discernment of spirits, but he actually does innovate by rigorously definiting the canonical framework within which this judgment must be exercised, following – in matters regarding the question of canonization – a procedure which, to some extent, faithfully reflected the one already favoured by the De servorum Dei beatificatione et de beatorum canonizatione (1734-1738) by Prospero Lambertini (the future pope Benedict XIV). Even though it aims to serve as a model (adopted by a growing number of bishops having to come to terms with events of apparitions in their dioceses), and however efficient it proves to be, this type of procedure soon meets with a variety of obstacles exposing its own limitations : among these obstacles one could not minimize the increasingly frequent interference of the Holy Office in its dealings with the bishops, before the Second Vatican Council. After the Council, the bishops are given more leeway, but the repercussions – on a world scale – of certain mariophanies will induce the Congregation for the Doctrine of the faith to edict in 1978 a set of general Norms, offering the bishops the guiding lines of a roadmap. Nevertheless, these norms will soon become inapplicable, in the face of newly emerging types of mariophanies, whose primary source is the 'Medjugorje case' (1981). Because of its implications – not just religious, but political and societal as well – this mariophany has been dubbed the breaking point apparition, raising the question of how the ecclesiastical Institution should respond to facts and attitudes which, while pretending to speak in the name of the Church, claim the right to disregard part of her decisions, by using as an excuse the need for a more open-minded and a more immediate involvement in the history of mankind – as it appears nowadays ; so much so that, conflicting with the judgments on the authenticity of the case and its relevance for the Church, the claimed fruitfulness of the event runs the risk og beeing viewed as the principal criterion for a judgment on the phenomenon itself

Full textThe recent historiography on Catholicism in the Province of Québec has neglected the life and episcopate of Paul Grégoire, archbishop of Montréal from 1968 to 1990. Yet his episcopate covers a crucial period in the history of the Province and the Catholic Church. When he became archbishop of Montréal in April 1968, the Province of Québec was still in the midst of its Quiet Revolution, a period of growing change in mentalities and morals brought on by a rejection of the past and the rising tide of secularization and dechristianization. For its part, the Catholic Church was going through its own renewed identity process as a result of the Second Vatican Council which had ended December 1965. It is at the juncture of these two renewed identities that Archbishop Grégoire’s episcopate took shape. The prelate had to cope with many new challenges both on the external and internal fronts. Ad extra, he had to meet the challenges of a new social order extremely unfavorable towards his Church, particularly concerning the denominational school system. Ad intra, he had to implement the Council reforms throughout his diocese and in so doing encountered a great deal of resistance and much misunderstanding which sometimes led to crises casting doubt on his leadership. At the time of his retirement in March 1990, Cardinal Grégoire had seen the Catholic Church lose the greater part of its moral and spiritual influence on the Montréal and Québec societies. He had set out to mold the Church of Montréal according to his doctrinal orientation, his discipline and his style. Even while taking into consideration that his personality was not best suited for the task, we fail to see how he could have significantly countered the great opposing forces at work. The study of his episcopate clearly reveals this.
