In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  Marcellinus of Carthage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcellinus of Carthage was a Christian martyr and saint who died in 413.
He was secretary of state of the Western Roman Empire under Roman Emperor Honorius and a close friend of Augustine of Hippo, as well as a correspondent of Saint Jerome's.
In 413, the Donatists accused Marcellinus and his brother, Apringius, of being involved in the rebellion of Heraclion.

 Phoenician Colonies
Carthage -- Cartagine in italiano --(from the Phoenician Kart-Hadasht, New City or Land, founded by Queen Elissar of Tyre), destined to be the largest Phoenician colony and in the end an imperial power, conformed to the pattern.
Carthage in turn seems to have established (or, in some cases, reestablished) a number of settlements in Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, the Balearic Islands, and southern Spain, eventually making this city the acknowledged leader of the western Phoenicians.
From the middle of the 3rd century to the middle of the 2nd century BC, Carthage was engaged in a series of wars with Rome called the Punic Wars.

Marcellinus, now holding the rank of Magister Officiorum and general in chief of the troops, was employed by the usurper to suppress the insurrec­tion of Nepotianus, on which occasion he displayed the most savage cruelty towards the wealthier and more distinguished inhabitants of Rome.
He sub­sequently headed the embassy despatched to offer terms of peace and alliance to Constantius, and is said to have been seized and detained by the in­dignant emperor, but we find him soon afterwards at liberty, commanding the armies of the West, and he probably perished at the great battle of Mursa, a.

The mere fact that Marcellinus, still at Carthage, where Coelestius had been brought to trial, wrote to Augustin at Hippo for written answers to important questions connected with the Pelagian heresy, speaks volumes for the prominent position he had already assumed in the controversy.
Marcellinus wrote to say that he was puzzled by what had been said in the second book of this work, as to the possibility of man's attaining to sinlessness in this life, while yet it was asserted that no man ever had attained, or ever would attain, it.
He begins by explaining to Marcellinus that he has affirmed the possibility while denying the actuality of a sinless life, on the ground that all things are possible to God,-even the passage of a camel through the eye of a needle, which nevertheless has never occurred (1, 2).

Meanwhile the choice of Marcellinus as the commander of the western fleet, no doubt angered Ricimer, as he was Ricimer's foremost enemy.
Marcellinus successfully attacked Sardinia and landed troops in Tripolitania.
There Marcellinus was killed, more than likely as a result of a plot by Ricimer.

He begins by explaining to Marcellinus that he has affirmed the possibility while denying the actuality of a sinless life, on the ground that all things are possible to God—even the passage of a camel through the eye of a needle, which nevertheless has never occurred (1, 2).
For, in speaking of man's perfection, we are speaking really of a work of God—and one which is none the less His work because it is wrought through the instrumentality of man, and in the use of his free will.
Now he appears as an inquirer: Augustine, while at Carthage, had received a letter from him in which he had consulted him on certain questions that the Pelagians had raised, but in such a manner as to indicate his opposition to them.

The invasion of the kingdom of the Vandals was one of the greatest military undertakings recorded in the an­nals of history, a combined amphibious operation with over ten thousand ships and one hundred thousand soldiers.
The purpose of the operation was to punish the Vandal king Geiseric for the Sack of Rome (455), in which the former capital of the Western Roman Empire had been depredated, and the Empress Licinia Eudoxia (widow of Emperor Valentinian III) and her daughters had been taken as hostages.
Basiliscus was ordered to sail directly to Carthage, while Marcellinus attacked and took Sardinia, and a third army, commanded by Heraclius of Edessa, landed on the Libyan coast east of Carthage, making rapid progress.

This treatise, which is addressed to Aurelius, bishop of Carthage, opens with a brief explanation of Augustine's delay heretofore, in discussing Pelagius' defence of himself in Palestine, as due to his not having received the official copy of the Proceedings of the Council at Diospolis (1-2a).
The "great African Council" met at Carthage, on the 1st of May, 418; and, after its decrees were issued, Augustine remained at Carthage, and watched the effect of the combination of which he was probably one of the moving causes.
What Augustine means by writing to Pinianus and his family that he was more oppressed by work at Carthage than anywhere else, may perhaps be illustrated from his diligence in preaching while in that capital.

 International Catacomb Society: News from Rome, July 16, 2001: Correction to article of 9/4/2000
The parish of the church of Saints Peter and Marcellinus (extra urbem) will be organizing the tours and asks that reservations be made in person in the sacristy of the church from early May through the dates for the visits.
The parish church of Peter and Marcellinus is not alone in organizing pilgrimages to the original subterranean sanctuaries to the Roman martyrs on the date of their dies natalis (in this context, the "birthday" is the date of death and start of the martyr’s state of eternal beatitute near God in Heaven).
There are modern Catholic associations which have revived the very ancient tradition of the veneration of the martyrs in the catacombs, celebrating Masses on the feast dates for the saints in the Roman calender.

Thus, his rebaptism and reconsecration would be necessary. Consequently, in 312, the Numidian primate, Secundus, called a council of seventy bishops at Carthage and elected Majorinus as Bishop, deposing Caecilian.
In the process, the dissenting bishops made an appeal to Constantine to settle the controversy. This appeal may have been motivated, at least in part, by what was at stake for the dissenters.
Similar situations of “lapsed” Christians during periods of persecution have emerged throughout the history of the church.

There he was asked about Pelagius and CÅ“lestius, and proceeded to give an account of the condemnation of the latter at the synod of Carthage, and of Augustin’s literary refutation of the former.
The mere fact that Marcellinus, still at Carthage, where Cœlestius had been brought to trial, wrote to Augustin at Hippo for written answers to important questions connected with the Pelagian heresy, speaks volumes for the prominent position he had already assumed in the controversy.
Three days afterwards, [64] on the invitation of the Bishop of Carthage, Augustin preached a sermon professedly directed against the Pelagians, [65] which takes up the threads hinted at in the former discourse, and develops a full polemic with reference to the baptism of infants.
