Topic: Prelate


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Prelate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A prelate is a member of the clergy who either has ordinary jurisdiction over a group of people or ranks in precedence with ordinaries.
The archetypal prelate is a bishop, whose prelature is his particular church.
Sometimes the clergy of a state church with a formal hierarchy are called prelates without having ordinary jurisdiction, which etymologically suggests that the prelate enjoys legal privileges and power as a result of clerical status.

 Prelate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A prelate is a member of the clergy having a special canonical jurisdiction over a territory or a group of people; usually, a prelate is a bishop.
Prelate sometimes refers to the clergy of a state church with a formal hierarchy, and suggests that the prelate enjoys legal privileges and power as a result of clerical status.
The word derives from Latin prælatus, the past participle of præferre, "to prefer;" it suggests that the prelate has been raised to his dignity by the act of a superior hierarch.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Prelate
In consequence of the extent of the government of the Church, prelates are especially numerous in Rome.
To the real prelates belong, therefore, although no jurisdiction in foro externo is attached to their offices, all the highest palace officials, who perform a constant service in the retinue of the pope and in the offices created for that purpose.
A second class of prelates are those on whom the title and rank of the prelature are conferred with the corresponding dress and privileges, but without the office or court service otherwise attached to it.

 Admonishing, Correcting, Reproving a Prelate
Therefore, since a subject is not equal to his prelate, he ought not to correct him.
Since, however, a virtuous act needs to be moderated by due circumstances, it follows that when a subject corrects his prelate, he ought to do so in a becoming manner, not with impudence and harshness, but with gentleness and respect.
It would seem that a subject touches his prelate inordinately when he upbraids him with insolence, as also when he speaks ill of him: and this is signified by God’s condemnation of those who touched the mount and the ark.

 Polish prelate accused of sexual abuse
Paetz was a “prelate of the ante-camera” from 1976 to 1982, meaning a cleric in service to the papal household, the last four years under John Paul II.
After Paetz and his fellow prelate of the ante-camera were made bishops in 1982 and given other assignments, the office was formally abolished.
As one of only a handful of Polish prelates in the Vatican prior to the election of Karol Wojtyla in 1978, sources say Paetz had an automatic rapport with the new Polish pope.

 SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Does the precept of fraternal correction bind the subject to correct his superior?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Hence the Apostle in writing to the Colossians (4:17) tells them to admonish their prelate: "Say to Archippus: Fulfil thy ministry [Vulg.: 'Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.' Cf.
Hence Paul, who was Peter's subject, rebuked him in public, on account of the imminent danger of scandal concerning faith, and, as the gloss of Augustine says on Gal.
We must also remember that when a man reproves his prelate charitably, it does not follow that he thinks himself any better, but merely that he offers his help to one who, "being in the higher position among you, is therefore in greater danger," as Augustine observes in his Rule quoted above.

 US prelate urges 'safe side' on gay priests - The Boston Globe
NEW YORK -- The American prelate overseeing a sweeping Vatican evaluation of every seminary in the United States said yesterday that most gay candidates for the priesthood struggle to remain celibate and the church must ''stay on the safe side" by restricting their enrollment.
Archbishop Edwin O'Brien made the comments as Roman Catholics await the release of a Vatican document on whether gays should be barred from the priesthood.
Yet, the leaders said there is no easy way to enforce a ban on gay priest-candidates, since many do not discover they are homosexual until after they enroll and others may simply hide their sexual orientation from seminary administrators.

 NEXT MANILA ARCHBISHOP WILL LIKELY BE 'LESS POLITICAL' - PRELATE
A Church prelate said the next head of the country’s largest Roman Catholic archdiocese would likely be someone "less political" than Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin.
Bautista, head of the Catholic organization Mass Media Ministry, noted that the credibility of a candidate to the episcopacy is vital because a prelate would be a "washout" without it.
One side claims that the "temporalities" of the archdiocese are such that the next archbishop must be like Sin, a diocesan prelate who was named Archbishop of Manila after averting a financial scandal in the Diocese of Jaro.

 Boston prelate jokes about new red cardinal garb - Catholic Online
ROME — Although he said he would continue to wear his brown Capuchin habit most of the time, the archbishop of Boston did go to a tailor for a final fitting of his new red cassock three days before he was set to become a cardinal.
He was scheduled to make his first public appearance dressed in red March 24 when Pope Benedict XVI was to induct him into the College of Cardinals.
The Boston prelate was asked if being a cardinal would mean he would be given so many assignments as a member of Vatican congregations and councils that he would be spending much of his time outside Boston.

 French Prelate Skeptical About Turkish EU Entry
A French prelate has questioned the "real intentions" of Turkey's government as it seeks entry into the European Union.
In an interview with the Italian daily La Repubblica, Cardinal Paul Poupard pointed to the restriction of religious freedom in the predominantly Muslim country, and the difficulties that Christian communities in Turkey face.
Noting that he has visited Turkey on several occasions, Cardinal Poupard said that he could testify to the difficulties imposed on the Christians there, who "are considered second-class citizens." That status should be recognized as "absurd" for any nation hoping to enter the European Union, he said.

Painting a prelate's portrait is not quite like painting an ordinary man, wrote Dutch Art Critic Jan Engelman in his Amsterdam newspaper last week.
Before even meeting his prelate, said Engelman, the painter should study him carefully—family background, personality, ecclesiastical career.
Only then should he try to picture a man who is at once "a high-placed person, a compassionately spiritual father, a sturdy ruler, an immovably insular person, a religious power, a lonely man."

It is common practice in many Boston-area Catholic churches for priests to wash the feet of men and women, and Law washed the feet of men and women at the cathedral on past Holy Thursdays.
But the practice of including women in the ritual is not universal and remains controversial among some Catholic prelates.
Archbishop John F. Donoghue of Atlanta this year barred priests in his archdiocese from washing women's feet on Holy Thursday, provoking a protest outside the cathedral there.
