Why do my parents go to Mass every day but Sunday? (twice on Saturday)

"Among other elements Sixtus III built a chapel that reproduced the cave of Bethlehem.

The custom of Midnight Mass itself begins with Pope Telephorus in 125 A.D. who was the eighth successor of St. Peter. That is huge because we are looking at Catholic Customs that go back to the beginning. We are still doing these customs and traditions!

i was at a pilgrimage in Marmora in Canada several years ago. We were in a grotto where there were prayers and a visionary/locutionist was receiving a message. it was 3 pm and we were saying the Divine Mercy Chaplet. A group of people came creating quite a scene, yelling and screaming and pushing. Causing all kinds of disruption. It was definately not a positive thing. I remember thinking that it was demonic to try and stop the spirit that was flowing among the people and started saying the prayer to St. Michael. I think someone else said it with me, but don't remember. Next thing i knew, they left. I'm assuming Mike (we're like this "X" fingers crossed to show solidarity ;-) ) and his troops took care of the issue.

This thread sprang to life so suddenly, I haven't been able to keep up with it. Hopefully, this question hasn't already been asked.

What is the name of the latest papal encyclial? For that matter, what is an encyclial?

According to its etymology, an encyclical (from the Greek egkyklios, kyklos meaning a circle) is nothing more than a circular letter. In modern times, usage has confined the term almost exclusively to certain papal documents which differ in their technical form from the ordinary style of either Bulls or Briefs, and which in their superscription are explicitly addressed to the patriarchs, primates, archbishops, and bishops of the Universal Church in communion with the Apostolic See.

True, but I specifically said "priests".

[texan_rep]

There are also married priests who came from other denominations (Anglican, Lutheran, PNC, Orthodox) who incardinated over from their prior faith.

Correct. In particular, the Espiscopal Church. A Pastoral Provision was approved by Pope John Paul II in 1980 which allowed for the formation of "personal parishes" (as opposed to the US standard geographical parishes) subject to the diocesan bishop. It also allowed married Episcopalian priests to be ordained on a case-by-case basis, primarily to serve these parishes, but they would not be limited to them. Finally, a modified liturgy, often called "Anglican Use" (which, as I understand it, is not 'official' but is the term most often used), based on the Book of Common Prayer, was approved for use in these parishes.

The first such parish was right here in San Antonio, Our Lady of the Atonement, Fr. Christopher Phillips as pastor.

There are 8 days in January that a particular Octave of prayer is said, January 18-25

ANTIPHON: That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, in me and I in Thee; that they also may be one in Us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent me.

I say unto thee, thou art Peter; R. And upon this rock I will build my Church.

::the daily intentions are in this section::

Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, who saidst unto Thine Apostles: Peace I leave you, My peace I give to you; regard not our sins, but the faith of Thy Church, and grant unto her that peace and unity which are agreeable to Thy Will; Who livest and reignest ever, one God, world without end. Amen. This Octave was first conceived by Father Paul of Graymoor on November 30, 1907, before his entrance into the Catholic Church.

Which Pope gave tennative approval for a Holy Crusade in England after issuing Interdict of the Kingdom and excommunicating the King of England? (The crusade never happened, the "King of England" repented and smoothed things out with this Pope.)

Pope Alexander II in 1066.

[buflineks]

Ok, I'll guess it anyway even though I think I am wrong.

Pope Alexander II in 1066.

No. Although Alexander II did give William, Duke of Normandy, "consent" ( along with papal relics )with his invasion, Alexander hadn't placed England under "Interdict" nor had he "excommunicated" Harold Godwinson.

[Dancer]

No. Although Alexander II did give William, Duke of Normandy, "consent" ( along with papal relics )with his invasion, Alexander hadn't placed England under "Interdict" nor had he "excommunicated" Harold Godwinson.The only interdict I know of was for King John Plantagenet.

That's the only one I knew of, as well.

[buflineks]

The only interdict I know of was for King John Plantagenet. I think that was Pope Innocent...the third?

Correct.

John I was very naughty. He butted heads with the papacy often. So much to the point that the Pope finally had enough. After having England under interdict for a year, and then excommunicating John, Innocent finally was convinced by Phillip the Capician King (france) that the only way to restore the postition of the Archbishop of Cantabury and the Church was to have a crusade in England. Once John figured out that his barons were ready to side with Phillip and the Papacy, John reconciled with the papacy after his bribes failed to produce any results.

I have a friend, Michelle Pillow, who writes romance novels based in the midieval time period.

Have you read any of her works?

Hey, I didn't get that from a romance novel. :mrgreen:

I have a friend, Michelle Pillow, who writes romance novels based in the midieval time period.

Have you read any of her works?I don't think so, but I will look for her next time I go to the bookstore. I am always looking for new, good authors. I read so voraciously that I never have enough material.

The ones that I am thinking of are by Julie Garwood...her historicals. She hasn't been writing historicals lately though, she is in a 'modern romantic suspense' period in her writing. I believe she might be Catholic though based upon the fact that she usually paints the Church in a very positive light in her books. The 'bad priests' are never characters...they are just talked about third person. The good priests are often characters who make you smile.

Her first modern historical was about a murderer abusing the sacrament of Reconciliation. (He confessed he was 'about' to kill the priest's sister and taped it, then sent the tape to the authorities).

I also read the Bishop Blackie novels...I think you would like those a lot. My husband loves Andrew Greeley. He has exchanged emails with him.

Have we ditched the Trivial Pursuit thing?

I haven't.

But it seems that the ask the question after the correct answer has been given up.

I'll post another starter question.

[Dancer]

I haven't.

I will look for a question...lol

[Dancer]

Who was the last married Pope (married to a human woman, not the Church)?

[texan_rep]

Adrian II

How many rites are there within the Catholic Church?

[texan_rep]

bump so it doesn't get lost

[Dancer]

:(( Where are the Catholics to answer the questions???

[buflineks]

:(( Where are the Catholics to answer the questions???

I'm looking for the answer, but I'm trying to do multiple tasks at the moment including dealing with a 10 yr old drama Queen.

[Dancer]

I'm looking for the answer, but I'm trying to do multiple tasks at the moment including dealing with a 10 yr old drama Queen.I have a 14 year old drama queen. Do you suppose if we put them together they can out drama one another?

(BTW Dad, this too shall pass ;) Just not as soon as you would like :)) )

[Dancer]

Adrian II

How many rites are there within the Catholic Church?23? 22 Eastern and 1 Western (Latin)

[texan_rep]

Right idea, Dancer...but not the answer I'm looking for.

The question was worded badly..."rite" is too generic a term. I will give y'all some hints...

1. In this usage, "rite" means "liturgical tradition"
2. Even under this usage, the answer seems to vary with the source. The source for my answer was the CCC.

[texan_rep]

And no...hint #2 does NOT mean I got buf and arch drunk and then asked them the question...

[buflineks]

8 rites?

[texan_rep]

close...I'll just close this one down and ask another one.

Answer is 7...Latin, Byzantine, Alexandrian (or Coptic), Syriac, Armenian, Maronite, Chaldean. (Cf. CCC 1203)

[Hadassah]

[texan_rep]

New question...

How many different Eucharistic Prayers in English have been approved for use by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops?

Note...these are Eucharistic Prayers to be used in the normal English-speaking Mass. I am NOT including the "Anglican Use" liturgy based on the Book of Common Prayer.

[texan_rep]

See the post right above your question :mrgreen:

What are the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in his series of "Regina Caeli" and "Angelus" given by the Holy Father in 1989?

Hint: I got the question from looking around on the Vatican website.

Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?

I have a better one.

IF we are to theorize that monasteries(monks) were the "backbone" in which medieval Europe eventually rebuilt itself after the fall of the WRE, then would not intensified attacks that singled out those monasteries be judged to have inhibited the resurgence of western civilization?

where do you get this history from monasteries were attacked by the hoards along with villas cities armies etc. the conquest was what set back civilization

He's not expounding a history, he is expounding a theoretical question.

i.e. Since monastaries were the building blocks of education in ME, then a Hypothesis that if they were destroyed could lead to such a question.

Most of what we know about early Greek Philosophy comes from the fact that the Muslims translated Greek works into Arabic, and then monks in scriptorims then translated the Arabic into Latin, which was then disseminated throughout Europe durin the MA.

With the raiding of the vikings, if they had been more prolific, could one then conclude that such action could have, in essence, lead to a breakdown of education throughout the MA?

Historians do not know for certian how many primary documents were destroyed by the Reformation when certian Individuals sacked Churches and Monostaries. Therefore, an Historian is left to wonder just how damaging to Historical knowledge was the event of the Reformation. Taken to an extreme, as the Hypothesis of KB has presented, what could have been the result if such things occured earlier and at a much more prolific rate?

Although not geared for this thread, it does lead to some interesting theoretical discussion.

KB is probably bored this summer. He should start a thread that could discuss this kind of hypothetical question.

What was more damaging was the destruction inflicted upon Europe from the 8th to 11th centuries. What is that old question? Why was the Leonine Wall built?? :doh:
