real presence. Hume says that “were the doctrine of the real presence ever so clearly revealed in scripture, it were directly contrary to the rules of just reasoning to give our assent to it.” (David Hume, “The Essay on Miracles,” Discovering, 95) Hume’s radical ideas on things that could not be proven by reason and the scientific method were in fact false and this set the Church in motion to take a stance. It was people like Hume, the ones that came before him and after him, that concerned…

responsibility of presenting the text to the Pope. The text described the motivation and mission behind Ignatius and his fellow followers order. Only after being reviewed by the Pope and the papal court could the order be approved and established within the Church. This proposal from Ignatius did not go unnoticed; in fact, it received negative feedback as it was reprimanded for its unique alterations to the current Church including getting rid of choir, and traditional…

money to the English. Joan was imprisoned for a while before she was put on trial for dressing like a man and using sword and charged for heresy. But she was put to death in a deal between the English and France to end the Hundred Years War. After she was killed she was praised highly. “Considered a heroine of France for fighting in the Lancastrain phase of The Hundred Years War” (Kekewich 3). The people of France today idolize her. She was very heroic and stood up for her faith when put on…

The Witch's Hammer In 1559, Pope Paul IV had The Witch's Hammer published as kinda a manual on how to hunt, capture, and torture Witches. They would use the common things from having weird birthmarks, to having a simple medical herb garden as signs as one being a witch. In this essay, I will explain the meaning of the Witch's Hammer, and what it means to me. I will also discuss how it is used in the Pagan and Wiccan community and if I would use it in my own practice. I will be discussing why it…

Council in 1965 by Pope Paul VI. It talks about Christianity and compares it to other religions in a positive way. First it talks about Hinduism and Buddhism. It says in these religions people think about the “divine mystery” and show them through myths. They seek relief from pain by meditation, self-discipline or turn to God. Buddhism teaches that if you are committed and confident, you can live a free life filled with light. The reading then goes on to say that the catholic church preaches the…

munity. The Daughters of Charity community was founded by St. Louise de Marillac and St. Vincent de Paul in 1633 Paris, France. Daughters have focused their services more toward the poor and abandoned. Their ministry began with health care in New Orleans in 1834 at Charity Hospital.

The Reformation was a time of great change in the 16th-century. During this time the Catholic Church was losing its grip of power. The Renaissance brought about new ideas and people were beginning to question the Catholic Church. Some people saw and believed that the church was corrupt because of the new teachings because they didn’t seem to follow the Bible. There was also religious corruption within the ranks of the clergy. The pope would conduct himself as an almighty ruler of the province. A…

For now let 's focus on the definition. First let 's be clear, we are all called to evangelize; it 's our job. My course book put it beautifully when they quoted Pope Paul VI, "the Church exists to evangelize." We are the Church. We are called to proclaim Jesus Christ to those we encounter. Whether our personal calling is to be a grand public speaker and we evangelize that way. Or we may be a cashier and our simple conversations with those we serve is our way to evangelize. When we accept the…
