 NewsForge | Gentium: An award-winning font joins the free software world
In recognition of this achievement, in 2003 Gentium was awarded a Certificate of Excellence from the Association Typographique Internationale as one of the best designs of the previous five years.
With its three aims of functionality, aesthetics, and user freedom, Gentium is clearly an ambitious project, though it remains incomplete, and its attempts to encourage user freedom are too new to assess.
Still, in one area, Gentium has already had outstanding success: Even in incomplete form, it is one of the few free fonts to meet the highest standards of commercial type design.

 Ius Gentium: Natural Law or Positive Law? by Don Boland - Universitas Number 8 (2000)
Ius gentium is distinct from natural law, taken in the strict sense of the absolutely first or self-evident principles of morality.
For "the law of nations is indeed in some way natural to man, in so far as he is a reasonable being, because it is derived from the natural law by way of a conclusion that is not very remote from its premises." [I-II, 95, a.
The ius gentium is clearly an area of law that deserves much closer study.

 Nota Praevia to Lumen Gentium
Note: This was written as a Nota Praevia, a preliminary introductory note, to the document, Lumen Gentium.
It was, in defiance of Pope Paul VI's wishes, relegated to the Appendix of the document in published editions of the Second Vatican Council's documents.
The nota-appendix clearly states that the Council was a pastoral one and clarifies the notion of collegiality in order to prevent Modernists from diminishing the power of the Petrine Ministry while elevating that of the College of Bishops, which Lumen Gentium could be -- and has been -- interpreted to call for.

 Lumen Gentium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lumen Gentium, the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, is one of the principal documents of the Vatican II.
The Constitution was promulgated by Pope Paul VI on November 21, 1964, following approval by the assembled bishops by a vote of 2,151 to 5.
Certain Traditional Catholic and Sedevacantist groups consider Lumen Gentium to be the demarcation of when the Roman Church fell into heresy, pointing to the use of "subsistit in" rather than "est" as an abdication of the Church's historic (and to them compulsory) identification of itself alone as God's church.

 THE SUBVERSION OF LUMEN GENTIUM - James Hitchcock - Catholic Dossier - May/June 2000
Two generations of Catholics have now been educated to believe that in effect it abolished the hierarchical conception of the Church, substituting in its place the idea of “the people of God,” which is then understood as essentially a democracy.
Lumen Gentium also referred to “the pilgrim Church,” an image soon seized upon without regard for what religious pilgrimage means.
The true nature of the Church is determined by the Incarnation itself, so that the Church is both a spiritual and a material entity, its outer form manifesting its unseen inner reality.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : "Lumen Gentium" is Key to Council
It is the great merit of Lumen gentium to have forcefully reminded us that if we want to have a satisfactory understanding of the Church's identity without neglecting the institutional aspects, it is necessary to begin with her mystery.
The Church described in Lumen gentium is a Church rich in life; a Church which, far from withdrawing into herself, is opening up with greater energy to the world.
The Council Fathers chose to mention her at the end of this fundamental Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium, almost as the culmination and synthesis of its entire ecclesiological reflection.

In 1963, prior to Lumen Gentium, chapter 8, in 1964, two documents were published, The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy and The Decree on the Means of Social Communication.
The eight chapters of Lumen Gentium describes the Church as it exists and as it longs to be.
The Church has always venerated the apostles and martyrs "together with the Blessed Virgin Mary and the holy angels, with a special love, and has asked piously for the help of their intercession." (LG 50) It is in the celebration of the liturgy, "in the fellowship of communion," that the saints are remembered and honored.

This paper examines the document Lumen Gentium and shows how the theology of the Church mysterium that Luman Gentium describes calls for a mystical consciousness characterized by a maturing awareness that we dwell within a boundless love that unifies and draws all that is into personal, communal and cosmic wholeness or oneing.
The Fathers envisaged the Church is not primarily as an institution, nor a hierarchy, nor a militant Church, as the first draft of the constitution had suggested, [3] but  as a mystery, a mystery formed through its union in Christ in God.
Lumen Gentium challenges us as Church to choose kenosis through loving, forgiving, letting go of structures and systems that divide and separate in order to live the radical union in Christ in which we now dwell.

I would highly recommend that anyone wanting to see some truly great international font design check out Gentium, a project of billed as a “typeface for the nations”.
Gentium is a very nice readable old-style text face (as far as I understand the calssifications), vaguely reminiscent of hand-lettered forms, with a fairly small ration between the thickness of strokes, which would help make this face legible at small sizes or on limited-resolution devices.
Gentium is really intended for just the extended Roman, Greek (including Polytonic) and Cyrillic character sets.

 Lumen Gentium: The Church Global and Local | The-Tidings.com
Perhaps the Council's most important doctrinal achievement --- and certainly its most contested during the debates over Lumen Gentium --- was its teaching on episcopal collegiality.
In the debate during the second session, Cardinal Alfrink of Utrecht suggested that the phrase "Peter and the apostles" would be better expressed as "Peter and the other apostles," thus putting Peter back within the apostolic college.
As Cardinal Walter Kasper has observed, Lumen Gentium represents a compromise which juxtaposed a "sacramental communio ecclesiology and a juristic unity ecclesiology." A communio ecclesiology means that particular churches must continue to prize the relationships that unite them with each other and with the Bishop of Rome.
