Abstract:

In this thesis, I seek to contextualize the exclusivity of traditional marriage in the United States. I investigate the use of Christian beliefs applied to the American legal system, consequently becoming the foundation of American commonsense. I draw out the ways in which Augustinian thoughts on marriage have inadvertently been used to justify institutional favoritism toward heterosexual, monogamous couples. Through examining the Christian-American lens that shapes our understanding of traditional marriage, I argue that previous and current secular opposition to non-traditional marriage is fundamentally grounded in Christian faith, furthermore, American cultural understanding of marriage is unconsciously lined with Augustinian thought.

Abstract:

While German Lutheran theologian Eberhard Jüngel (1934-) has made a number of significant contributions to contemporaneous discussions of sacramental theology, this topic has largely been ignored by interpreters of his thought. This study adds to the field of research into Jüngel's theology by summarizing and evaluating, through a close reading of pertinent primary and secondary source materials, his approach to the problem of sacrament. The study is divided into four units that correspond to the major themes that emerge in Jüngel's sacramental theology. The first unit considers Jüngel's interesting claim that the word of God (and, in a certain qualified sense, the human word) functions sacramentally as it addresses its hearer. Part II consists of an analysis of Jüngel's oftstated assertion that Jesus Christ is the unique and preeminent sacrament of God for the world. The third unit explores Jüngel's ecclesiology, and makes transparent his interesting approach to the question of the church's sacramentality. The fourth unit investigates Jüngel's doctrines of baptism and the Lord's Supper, and includes a hermeneutical proposal for reading his texts on these doctrines. Throughout this four-part analysis, the study demonstrates that Jüngel consistently appeals to the category of ‘interruption' for describing God's sacramental relation to the world and its actualities. While containing a number of appreciative remarks on this description, the study concludes that the hegemony of the category of ‘interruption' in Jüngel's theology of sacrament raises important questions concerning its coherence and tenability.

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Oliva Blanchette
This dissertation is a synthetic exercise in philosophy and theology, proceeding from the perennial question: "What is the specific difference between sacrament and superstition?" It answers that the difference lies in the order of revelation. Sacraments are a form of revealed praxis, and only the divine guaranty of revelation distinguishes them from other forms of human action, including superstitious action. Revelation takes shape in historical sensible signs demanding human interpretation, such as inspired scripture. These revealed signs also include precise human actions, however, in the form of the prescriptions of sacramental praxis. As the words of Scripture do not signify merely human intentions, but express the divine will, so sacramental action signifies a divine intention, not a purely human intention, in the form of this precise praxis. Sacraments, therefore, far from attempting some kind of natural purchase on the supernatural, in fact demand the opposite: the surrender of the human to the divine will, the admission of human insufficiency. This answer is based on a theological appropriation of Maurice Blondel's philosophical investigation of human action in his early philosophical work Action (1893), in which he rehabilitates the question of the supernatural on a properly philosophical footing by establishing a hypothetical necessity for a supernatural complement to human action. Blondel and Aquinas, therefore, both find the point of heterogenous insertion for the supernatural in human subjectivity: in the virtues for Aquinas, in voluntary human action for Blondel. The dialectic of Action (1893) hinges on the phenomenon of superstitious action, which functions as a middle term in the dialectic. Superstition for Blondel corresponds to an attempt at human `self-sufficiency': actively placing in a finite object of the will the transcendent perfection that can only be received passively as gift from outside the natural order, by insertion of a heterogenous factor in the human action. Given that human action is irreducible in Blondel's philosophy and even thought itself is a form of action, so superstition works its way into all forms of human practice, including intellectual pursuits like philosophy and theology, giving rise to `closed' and self-sufficient philosophical and theological systems. Moreover, Blondel audaciously turns Kant's accusation of superstition against sacraments around, arguing that it is the extreme rationalists, not the unlearned devout, who are guilty of the most insidious form of superstition by effectively fetishizing their own thought, finding there the completion that Blondel's dialectic demonstrates to be impossible in the natural order. Sacramental action, by contrast, since it requires submission of human to divine will and the admission of human insufficiency, it is at the very antipodes of superstition. The theological appropriation of Blondel's philosophy provides a heuristic in sacramental theology, since it entails that the supernatural efficacy of the sacraments cannot be attributed, even partially, to the natural efficacy of human action. It is hard to see how post-conciliar theories of `symbolic efficacy' avoid superstition, therefore, since they attempt to find in natural human action the heterogenous supernatural that cannot be reduced to the merely naturally perceptible

This study considers the development of Augustine's early soteriology in the years leading up to and including his writing of Confessions. Central to that inquiry is a treatment of his increasing use of the term humilitas. Yet that inquiry necessitates a broader account of the fallen soul and its healing by the Incarnate Savior. The result is a mostly chronological survey that shows Augustine developing clearer connections between his soteriology, Christology, and sacramental theology

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is a comparative analysis of the doctrine of deification in sacramental worship as taught (and practiced) by the Eastern Orthodox and Latter-day Saint (Mormon) churches. The doctrine that man may become like God—known as deification, divinization, or theosis—is a central teaching in the Orthodox and Mormon traditions. Both faiths believe that man may become like God. However, because of doctrinal presuppositions and disagreements regarding the natures of God and man, Orthodox and Mormon teachings of deification do not mean the same thing. This thesis will outline several key distinctions between their respective doctrines. And yet, despite doctrinal disagreements, this thesis will also illustrate how Orthodoxy and Mormonism share several notable similarities regarding the function of sacramental worship in the process of theosis. Mormonism and Orthodoxy both believe that men and women may achieve theosis only as they interact with God. Through the combined initiatives of the Father, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, humankind may receive the attributes of divinity and participate in the process of deification. The means whereby humanity may interact with God are through sacramental participation. This thesis will illustrate how institutional rituals and personal worship practices foster man's divine interaction and ultimate deification. Furthermore, Orthodox and Mormon rituals are deeply rooted in the doctrine of deification—each ritual contributing to man's divine transformation. As such, those rituals reflect numerous thematic variations and emphatic differences of their respective traditions. This should not discourage the reader from comparing Orthodox sacraments with Mormon sacraments; rather, as one studies the similarities and differences in the Orthodox and Mormon sacraments, he or she will begin to see how deification is so intricately woven into the worship practices of these two faiths.

Abstract:

This thesis explores a long-neglected area of Julian’s work, namely her devotional and pastoral understanding of the nature of sin and the sacrament of penance. Her two texts reveal a deep concern, set within the context of a rise in lay penitential piety, for those devout who continued to experience a sense of shame and dread of sin, even after confession to a priest. By means of a close comparative reading of Julian's short and long texts of A Revelation of Divine Love, and an examination of a wide range of Middle English devotional texts and manuals, as well as a breadth of Julian scholarship to date, I argue that Julian addresses the devotional and ecclesiastical concerns of late fourteenth-century England in the problem of sin and confession for the ordinary believer. By articulating her revelation in the penitential terms of the manuals of the Church, Julian reveals the extent to which the daily devotional life of 'holy moder church' is the means by which the saving love of Christ is realised and made accessible to the penitent. Within her writing Julian seeks to reassure her reader that God has dealt with sin and triumphed over the devil but in order to do this she must alter their understanding of a contrition-centred sacrament. For this reason Julian sets up a crisis of understanding within her long text between the 'common teaching of holy church' and her revelation of love. This conflict is deliberately left unresolved in order that, in scholastic terms, two opposing arguments in opposition may jointly illuminate the necessity of sin and penance in bringing the soul to the proper state of humility and the mercy and grace of the loving Lord in forgiveness. In so doing it is argued that, within Julian’s writing, the pastoral process of penance is integral to those who desire a more intimate relationship with God. The thesis consists of four chapters which first, locates Julian's short and long versions of A Revelation of Divine Love within the climate of the late-fourteenth century; secondly, it charts the rise of the significance of the role of the penitent within the history of penance which led to an increasing lack of confidence within the late fourteenth century in the ability of the confessional encounter to alleviate the sense of sin experienced by some devout souls; thirdly, I analyse the extent to which Julian's short and long version of a Revelation of Divine Love reflect and address this catechetical and penitential climate in her theology of sin and penance; and finally the thesis poses the question of the extent to which Julian's work can be considered as a penitential text which seeks to bring ease and comfort of the assurance of sins forgiven through the everyday practices of the Church. It is concluded that Julian's writing reveals a fascinating and significant contribution to late fourteenth-century thought on penance and brings a fresh reading of Julian's texts.

Abstract:

O recorte temático desta tese são a Vita Apostolica e o Mistério Sacramental como sentido existencial e missão cristã para os homens do Ocidente Europeu na Idade Média Central (séculos XI-XIII) O documento a ser investigado é a versão alemã de Heidelberg do roman arturiano A Demanda do Santo Graal, cujo manuscrito germânico original foi compilado ao final do século XIII. O corpus corresponde ao códice 147 da Bibliotheca Palatina Germaniae de Heidelberg, não se tratando de mera versão dos originais bretões para o alemão medieval (Mittelhochdeutsch). A presente fonte constitui um corpus inaugural, um texto propriamente alemão, ainda que filiado ao Ciclo da Vulgata (Ciclo do Pseudo-Gautier Map), que correspondeu ao primeiro ciclo de prosificação das narrativas do Graal. Pretende-se perscrutar um elemento central do imaginário que caracterizou a experiência dos homens do Ocidente Europeu no apogeu da Idade Média Central. Tratase do sacramento, e a compreensão do sentido sacramental da existência humana no plano da imanência constitui relevante senha de compreensão e predicação de significado às experiências concretas destes homens. Isso se pode atingir por intermédio da apreensão do elemento axial de seu imaginário.
The thematic cutting of this dissertation are the Vita Apostolica and the sacramental mystery as life meaning and Christian mission for the people of the European Western World during the Central Middle Ages (11th to 13th centuries). The document to be analysed is the German version of the Arthurian romance The Quest of the Holy Grail, whose original German manuscript was compiled by the end of 13th century. The corpus corresponds to the codex 147 pertaining to the Bibliotheca Palatina Germaniae in Heidelberg, and this is no sheer translation of the original Bretonnic version to Middle German (Mittelhochdeutsch). The present source constitutes an original corpus, a properly German text, although linked up to the Vulgate Cycle (Pseudo-Gautier Map Cycle), which corresponds to the first prosification cycle entailing the Grail narratives. This study aims at scruting a central element of the imaginary concerning the historical experience of people of Western European World at the peak the Central Middle Ages. It is the sacrament, and the comprehension of the sacramental meaning of human life in the sphere of immanence builds up a relevant key to understanding and endowing concrete experiences with meaning. This can be achieved by means of aprehending the shaft element concernig their imaginary.

Family institution reveals new arrangements from which we emphasize families made up by couples in their second relationship, originated from divorces and separation. Even before these changes, the Catholic Church continues to reaffirm its speech about the indissolubility of sacramental marriages. As a concrete attitude in the institutional religious practice, the referred church, which is the owner of the moral and social control and the bodies; owner and distributor of symbolic properties, playing the role of whom punishes , using the sacred power, provides the couples who decide to give themselves a second chance in a family constitution, the exclusion of symbolic properties, specifically, the sacrament of the confessiont and of the eucharist. The movement OVISA (Orientation to Sacramental Living) having as a support the official documents of the institution also excludes of its meetings this category of Christians, causing diverging reactions, including the abandon of religious practice. It s clearly noticeable the distance between the official catholic speech and the sacramental practice of the Christians in their second relationship. Nevertheless for these couples, even before the imposed prohibitions, the religion or the Catholic Church continues giving sense and meaning to their daily life.
A instituição familiar apresenta novos arranjos, dos quais destacamos as famílias formadas por casais católicos que vivem em uma segunda união, fruto de separações e divórcios. Mesmo diante dessas mudanças, a Igreja Católica continua reafirmando seu discurso sobre a indissolubilidade do matrimônio sacramental. Como atitude concreta na prática religiosa institucional, a referida Igreja, pretensa detentora do controle moral social e dos corpos; possuidora e distribuidora dos bens simbólicos, em atitude de quem castiga e penitencia, relega aos casais católicos que se dão nova chance na constituição de uma família, o lugar da exclusão dos bens simbólicos de salvação, especificamente, dos sacramentos da penitência e da eucaristia. O movimento OVISA (Orientação para a Vivência Sacramental), tendo como suporte os documentos oficiais da referida instituição, também exclui de seus encontros essa categoria de fiéis, gerando reações divergentes, inclusive, dissidências. É perceptível o distanciamento entre o discurso oficial católico e a prática sacramental dos fiéis em segunda união. No entanto, para esses casais, mesmo com as privações impostas, a religião ou a Igreja Católica, continua dando sentido e significado ao seu cotidiano.

Abstract:

In my work in a diocesan marriage tribunal I have observed that many couples who are planning their weddings are influenced greatly by the superficial focus of our culture. In fact, there is statistical and sociological evidence that culture is highly influential in much Catholic wedding planning. Presented in this paper is evidence of how little Catholics know about the sacramental nature of marriage and how their married life affects themselves and others around them. This paper presents a theological reflection on the sacrament of marriage; an analysis of how the Rite of Marriage is usually perceived and carried out; a study of how the attitude of brides and grooms at the time of their wedding effects their life thereafter and, by association, the greater family and community; and it offers an explanation of how instructing couples on the theology behind the Rite of Marriage as prima theologia can better prepare them to live their marriage sacramentally. The pre-marital classes in the Diocese of Orange are currently comprised of mostly practical information on how to live successfully as a married couple, but they neglect to also consider the most important issue for them as Catholics: how to live out a sacramental marriage. It is proposed in this document that a diocesan-wide premarital handbook be designed and employed which provides greater emphasis on the ecclesial aspect of marriage as well as the practical advice of seasoned mentors.

O discurso utópico europeu, nos anos iniciais da evangelização, em que se teve a certeza da conversão dos indígenas ao catolicismo, é comparado à narrativa produzida na segunda metade do século XVI e início do XVII em que a descrença sobre o sucesso da empresa missionária é evidente

This work compares the European utopian discourse that believed in the complete conversion of the indigenous population to Catholicism, particularly in the initial years of the evangelizing, to the narrative produced in the second half of the 16th and beginning of the 17th century where we can clearly see a disbelief in the success of the missionary campaign

Abstract:

England in the late-Elizabethan and early-Stuart period saw a surge of pastoral writings intended to provide lay-readers with information and advice about sacraments. Using sixty-four such texts from the period 1590-1630, this thesis analyses the conceptions of sacraments offered by cleric-authors to their audience. As a group these works had two structural features in common. First they were concerned to outline the ‘qualities’ of a ‘worthy’ receiver of the Lord’s Supper, foremost amongst which were knowledge, faith, newness of life and repentance. Second they tended to divide the concept of worthiness into three temporal chunks comprising the times before, during, and after the Supper. Using these rubrics as guidelines the thesis compares and contrasts the content of the corpus. In opposition to stereotypes of puritans neglecting sacraments, it is found that sacraments were presented by Reformed English clerics as highly efficacious entities, which truly communicated something to the believer. The importance of faith to the Reformed conception of sacraments is affirmed, with the caveat that the dominance of this concept did not prohibit clerics from extolling the sensuous or ceremonial aspects of sacraments. It is further contended that sacraments continued to be seen as spurs to moral amelioration, occasions for charity, and a demonstration of community – and that receiving sacraments did not become a wholly individualised enterprise. Building on this analysis the thesis offers three broader conclusions. Firstly it is shown that sacraments played a key part in the quest to gain assurance of salvation. Secondly it can be seen that in England there was a way of extolling sacraments and their use which is not usually thought about – a species of ‘sacramental piety’ which used mainstream Reformed ideas about sacrament to urge believers to comfort and increased Godliness. Thirdly it is contended that key Reformed theological distinctions were often submerged by the contingencies of pastoral writing.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
The Sacramento region is prone to flooding disasters. This thesis uses an optimization model to recommend where to preposition and/or expand warehouses, health-care personnel, ramp space, and transportation vehicle capacity. Adequate prepositioning helps evacuate the emergency population (EP), supply commodities to affected population (AP) that stays back in the affected areas (AAs), and transport other displaced population (DP) to the relief locations (RLs) for shelter. The goal is to minimize the expected number of EP and AP casualties, and then to maximize the DP transported to RL shelters, both during the first 72 hours after a flood disaster. We model a network of eight AAs and ten RLs, four flooding scenarios of different severity, and several budget levels for expansion of the initially prepositioned resources. We find that the RLs that the Federal Emergency Relief Agency (FEMA) has already selected have enough warehouse space to support the AP. This model recommends minor investment in additional health-care providers and emergency rescue vehicles for the EP. On the other hand, we observe a shortfall in mass housing capacity for the DP, even after fully expanding the capacity of existing facilities.

Abstract:

A multidisciplinary investigation into the timing, distribution, and intensity of tectonothermal events has resulted in an understanding of the tectonic evolution of the northeast Sacramento Mountains, in particular, and of the northern Sacramento Mountains in general. The application of geologic, structural, geochemical, and thermochronologic techniques has provided the relative and absolute timing of crustal and tectonic processes, leading to the development of a petrogenetic model for the evolution of the Sacramento Mountains metamorphic core complex. The metamorphic core complex was uplifted and cooled during Miocene detachment faulting (-23- 12 Ma). The Eagle Wash Intrusive Complex, a calc-alkalic granodioritic intrusion, was emplaced during detachment faulting at -20 Ma, at -3 kb and ~680°C. The EWIC records rapid cooling and uplift following emplacement, at rates of >100°C/Ma and 1.5-3 km/Ma, respectively. The EWIC was below ~100°C (the closure temperature of fission tracks in apatite) by 15 Ma. The structural and thermal history for the syntectonic intrusive suite is best explained via an evolving simple shear zone. The EWIC was intruded into, or proximal to, a mylonitic shear zone. The SW dip of the myonitic foliation in the EWIC could represent a primary feature of the shear zone, or the capture of a relatively older feature by a younger detachment fault splay. The later interpretation is consistent with the thermochronologic data, which suggests that faulting continued in the east after its termination in the west. Using the thermochonologic data to develop a thermal profile of the crust, the angle of faulting was calculated to be <30°C. The slip-rate associated with the detachement fault, though poorly constrained, was determined to be -4 mm/yr. This value is about half that determined from other core complexes and suggests that extension was slower here than elsewhere in the region.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the sacraments of initiation of Grigor Tatevatsi (1346-1409), one of the most prominent ecclesiastical leaders of the Armenian Apostolic Church. Archbishop Mesrob Ashjian in Armenian Church Patristic and Other Essays examined Tatevatsi’s sacraments of initiation, and declared that Grigor Tatevatsi abdicated the theology of the Armenian Apostolic Church and integrated many important issues from Thomas Aquinas. This study challenges Ashjian’s statements, and by examining the political, historical and theological context, elaborates the sacraments of initiation of Grigor Tatevatsi in different colours. At the beginning of the fourteenth century, according to a missionary programme of Rome, successful work was started by the Latin Church in Armenia. During the crucial period for the Armenian Christianity, in time of political, social, intellectual and ecclesiastical changes, Grigor Tatevatsi becomes one of the dominating figures, and the first chapter examines his life. The second chapter of this work examines the purpose of the Dominican Order in Grand Armenia, and the origin of the Unitors, the Latino-Armenian Brotherhood, during fourteen century. The last three chapters deal with Tatevatsi’s sacramental theology of initiation. The third chapter focuses on the sacrament of baptism, the fourth chapter investigates the sacrament of confirmation, and the fifth chapter deals with the sacrament of communion and elucidates how Tatevatsi sees the sacrament that unites us to Christ. These three chapters compare the theology of Grigor Tatevatsi within that of Thomas Aquinas, showing how Tatevatsi engaging with Aquinas, not to abdicate Armenian theology but to defend it within the context of wider Christian practice, comparing Latin, Greek and sometimes Syriac practice to show that Armenian theology reads the early Christian tradition in ways that sometimes differ from the other traditions, but are not inferior to them.

Abstract:

While much scholarship has considered the theological and metaphysical foundations of Samuel Taylor Coleridge¡¯s and Gerard Manley Hopkins¡¯ poetry, this study seeks to add to the conversation by examining how a conversational mode of meditation unique to Christian sacrament inspires that poetry. Both Coleridge and Hopkins demonstrate an understanding of Christian sacrament that emphasizes engagement and encounter with God through language and creation; in turn, they create a poetry that uses all aspects of the form -- musical sound yoked to philosophical sense -- to record and reenact this sacramental encounter. Chapter 1 discusses how Coleridge, beginning from the Idealism of George Berkeley, counters Berkeley¡¯s passive, non-sacramental reading of nature with a theory of active engagement with nature, man, and God. We see how this theory issues in the ¡°conversation poems,¡± a set of meditations that enact the sacramental interchange that results from the poet¡¯s awareness of God¡¯s presence in the fullness of creation. Chapter 2 considers how Hopkins steps beyond the subtle machinations of Scotist theology to the meditative engagement of Ignatius Loyola¡¯s Spiritual Exercises. Encouraged by Ignatius¡¯ emphasis on detail and particularity, Hopkins creates a poetic practice that uses the music of words to their fullest sacramental potential, demonstrating in poetry how man encounters God through active engagement with the world and takes on the image of Christ through sacrament.

CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
A Irmandade do Santíssimo Sacramento da Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora do Pilar do Ouro Preto, no século XVIII, era uma agremiação religiosa de leigos que assim como as outras agremiações coevas deveria: ministrar os sacramentos aos irmãos, cumprir com os itens atinentes a “boa morte”, auxiliar os irmãos em estado de pobreza e doença e realizar as festividades inscritas em seu calendário litúrgico, Corpus Christi e a semana santa. Como particularidade, seria sua responsabilidade para com a comunidade local em geral a construção da igreja matriz e conduzir o viático aos moribundos. A partir da documentação legada pela associação e seus associados, buscaremos conhecer o funcionamento da agremiação, sua estrutura organizacional e o perfil de seus agremiados. Para tanto, a presente tese foi dividida em duas partes: na primeira, procuramos descrever como funcionava a Irmandade do Santíssimo do Ouro Preto a partir do seu compromisso, o regimento interno da instituição, além de analisar os compromissos de associações congêneres na capitania mineira, a fim de estabelecer uma análise comparativa do funcionamento dessa confraria em diferentes localidades. Utilizamos, também, a documentação expedida pela mesa da irmandade, que são resoluções tomadas sobre diferentes matérias, como: construção e obras da matriz, festividades, reforma do compromisso, dentre outros. Analisamos, além disso, a documentação emitida por outras instituições com assuntos referentes às irmandades do Santíssimo na tentativa de identificar quais eram as principais demandas dessas instituições no âmbito das vilas onde estavam instaladas, como: os pedidos feitos às Câmaras e as representações enviadas ao Conselho Ultramarino em Lisboa. Na segunda parte da tese, nos dedicamos a conhecer o perfil socioeconômico dos membros do Santíssimo do Ouro Preto, tentando compreender e demonstrar como as redes de sociabilidade se estabeleciam intrairmandade e a extrapolavam, a partir da documentação relativa aos próprios irmãos do Santíssimo. Para analisar a trajetória dos membros do Santíssimo em Vila Rica arrolamos, primeiramente, os nomes daqueles que exerceram cargos de oficial da mesa, sendo eles: provedor, escrivão, tesoureiro e procurador; além dos nomes dos zeladores da bacia, pessoas responsáveis pelo peditório. Chegamos ao montante de 342 irmãos ao longo do século XVIII. A partir deste rol, buscamos informações em fundos documentais de diversas naturezas como: requerimentos e petições presentes no Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino/ Minas Gerais (CD-Rom Projeto Resgate); inventários e testamentos, no Arquivo Casa do Pilar – Museu da Inconfidência (Ouro Preto/ MG); Registro Geral de Mercês, Habilitações do Santo Ofício e Habilitações da Ordem de Cristo, no Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo (Lisboa/ Portugal).
The Brotherhood of the Blessed Sacrament of the Church of Our Lady of Pilar of Ouro Preto, in the eighteenth century, was a religious school of lay people which, like the other coeval associations, should: administer the sacraments to the brothers, fulfill the details pertaining to the "good death", assist the brothers in poverty and illness, and perform the festivities registered in their liturgical calendar, Corpus Christi and the Holy Week. As a special feature, the construction of the parish church and administration of the Viaticum to the dying would be their responsibility to the local community in general. From the documentation bequeathed by the association and its members, this research seeks to understand the operation of the association, its organizational structure and the profiles of its brothers. Therefore, this thesis is divided into two parts: in the first part, it tries to describe how the Brotherhood of the Blessed Sacrament of Ouro Preto worked, based on its compromisso (statute), the internal regulations of the institution, besides analyzing the statutes of similar associations in the captaincy of Minas Gerais, in order to establish a comparative analysis of the operations of the brotherhood in different locations. The documents issued by the board of the brotherhood, which are decisions made on different topics, such as the construction and the improvements of the parish church, the festivities, the reforms of the statutes, among others, were also used. Besides that, the documentation issued by other institutions with matters relating to the Blessed Brotherhoods were analyzed in an attempt to identify which were the main demands of these institutions in the villages where they were installed, such as the requests made to the town council and the representations submitted to the Overseas Council in Lisbon. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to meeting the socioeconomic profile of members of the Brotherhood of the Blessed Sacrament of Ouro Preto, trying to understand and demonstrate how social networks were established inside the Brotherhood and also beyond it, based on the documentation related to the brothers of the Blessed Sacrament themselves. In order to analyze the history of the Brothers of the Sacrament in Vila Rica, the names of those who exercised official positions in the board were listed firstly, as follows: provider, clerk, treasurer and procurator; in addition to the names of the keepers of the basin, the people responsible for the public collection. 342 brothers were listed throughout the eighteenth century. From this list, information on documentary funds of various types was sought; funds such as: the requirements and petitions found in the Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino/ Minas Gerais (CDRom Projeto Resgate); inventories and wills, in the Arquivo Casa do Pilar – Museu da Inconfidência (Ouro Preto/ MG); Registro Geral de Mercês, Habilitações do Santo Ofício and Habilitações da Ordem de Cristo, in the Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo (Lisboa/ Portugal).

Abstract:

The ability to isolate several distinct models of reconciliation from the diverse materials left by past generations suggests that the history of this sacrament has been a continued search for a pastoral, meaningful, effective and human expression of the graced encounter between the Lord Jesus and repentant sinners celebrating the forgiveness of God and peace with the Church. This modular reconstruction also provides a basis to identify and think on certain essential theological values of reconciliation, namely, Eucharistic, ecclesial, communal, process and personal, which a community might appropriate to become a body of reconciliation in the world, instruct investigation of contemporary sacramental modes, and serve the genuine and comprehensive renewal authorized and informed by Vatican II Council. Having successfully captured these theological values, this Council proposed the sacrament of reconciliation as an indispensable part of the ongoing penitential spirit that permeates the entire Christian life. Nevertheless, the process to reform the sacrament proved a complicated and even contentious labour for those responsible. Although marked by a somewhat unimaginative similarity in their style, structure and perception of sin, the new rituals of reconciliation reflect the teaching of Vatican II Council faithfully enough to allow penitents remember and celebrate the activity of the Spirit-filled community serving as the place and presence of Jesus' saving mystery. At the same time, however, what seemed a dissonant mix of theologies ultimately bled the document of its necessary harmony so that the rituals did not attend the process of reconciliation central to the life of every faithful and reinforced the ambiguity already apparent in the regulations for general confession and absolution then in force. The Church experienced a sustained period of development and controversy about the meaning and practice of reconciliation. The blend of materials making cc. 959--963 lack the proper foundation to reflect in an authentic and credible way the awesome depth of the paschal mystery and its complex of implications for the sacrament of reconciliation. These texts will remain an unstable platform for the essential theological values of reconciliation. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
