CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Religious Profession Profession was express, when made with the usual ceremonies; tacit, or implied, when the reciprocal engagement between the order and the religious was proved by outward acts; it was sufficient for this purpose to wear the habit of the professed members for some time openly and without objection being made in any one. Profession for a long time was made by clothing with the religious habit: the aspirant could personally put on the habit or receive it, with or without ceremony, from the abbot or from the bishop. The origins of religious profession date from the time when Christians were recognized in the Church as followers after perfection in the practice of religious life. www.newadvent.org /cathen/12451b.htm

Habit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In a religious context, habit refers to the distinctive garment(s) worn by members of religious orders, e.g., for Catholic orders, it is normally comprised of a tunic, often covered by a scapular and cowl. A personal habit is one which shows a habitual routine that is not consciously considered, known as habituation.

CHRISTIANITY - URDAY.com A national dress could be adopted as a religious garb if by shape and form and design, its distinctiveness and uniformity in use, it is recognizable as a religious habit, such as the sari of Mother Teresa's Sisters of Charity, which by its specific design has become a distinctive religious habit. The dress of the priest or of the religious is as it were a 'flag' for Christ and Christianity. In the first place, the special dress denotes the special office, the individual holds as a priest or the fact that one is a religious or further that one belongs to a particular religious order. www.urday.com /ccassock.htm   (306 words)

Ask the Wise Man: The Cowl Doesn't Make the Monk - December 1998 Issue of St. Anthony Messenger Magazine Online The current Code of Canon Law rules, "Religious are to wear the habit of the institute made according to the norm of proper law as a sign of their consecration and as a testimony of poverty" (#669). In 1972 a letter from the Sacred Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutes said secular clothes are permitted when wearing a habit would impede the normal activities of the religious. In many instances religious habits and dress reflect the common clothing of people in the founder's time. www.americancatholic.org /Messenger/Dec1998/Wiseman.asp   (306 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Habit Habits of thought, speculative and practical, habits of feelings and will, religious and moral attitudes, etc., are constantly shaping man's views of things, persons, and events, and determine his behaviour toward those who agree with or differ from him. The growth of habit is twofold, intensive and extensive, and may be compared to that of a tree which extends its branches and roots farther and farther, and at the same time acquires a stronger vitality, can resist more effectively obstacles to life, and becomes more difficult to uproot. Of the natural habits some are acquired by practice, others are innate like the habitus primorum principiorum, that is, the innate aptitude of the human mind to grasp at once the truth of self-evident principles as soon as their meaning is understood. www.newadvent.org /cathen/07099b.htm   (3274 words)

Fanaticism Nowadays we are at war against religious fanaticism and consider it to be indecent and despicable, although religious fanaticism is not as dangerous as some other kinds of fanaticism.

Parameters: Religious fundamentalism in India and beyond Religious fundamentalism has appeared at the turn of the century as a prominent tendency, a habit of mind found within religious communities and paradigmatically embodied in certain representative individuals and movements. These retrieved fundamentals are refined, modified, and sanctioned in a spirit of pragmatis m: they are to serve as a bulwark against the encroachment of outsiders who threaten to draw the believers into a syncretistic religious or irreligious cultural milieu. Regional experts now fear that religious fundamentalism and militancy are not only destroying South Asia's ethnic diversity, but also are putting the region's political secularism in danger of collapse. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0IBR/is_3_32/ai_91564612   (1084 words)

The Religious Habit by Fr. Jay A. Finelli The wearing of the habit then is the outward sign of a Religious' total consecration to God; a witness of holy poverty; a kind of armor or protection; and it is the visible sign of union with the Holy Father, who is the Vicar of Christ and the visible head of the Church. The Code of Canon Law makes it clear that the dress of Religious is the habit, and those clerical Religious who do not have a habit are to wear clerical dress. The habit is not just for the good of the Religious, but it is for the good of the people of God and for those who do not know, or refuse to know God. www.medugorje.com /catholic/habit.html   (1084 words)

THE ELIZABETHAN APOSTASY (This Rock: December 1995) DURING this decade a deep and far-reaching change took place in England, a change in the essentials of religious worship, by which the habit of centuries was swept away, and the new practice of assistance at the Anglican Prayer Book service was established and consolidated. It is the purpose of this paper to suggest that the turning point in the religious history of this country is the decade between 1560 and 1570, and that in this period the foundations of the Protestant triumph were secured. What might have followed in the religious history of this country and indeed of the world cannot be estimated. www.catholic.com /thisrock/1995/9512clas.asp   (629 words)

Profession (religious) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Profession for a long time was made by clothing with the religious habit: the aspirant could personally put on the habit or receive it, with or without ceremony, from the abbot or from the bishop. Profession, in Christian monasticism, is the act of embracing the religious state by the three vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience according to the rule of a canonically approved religious order; it involves then a triple vow made to God, and binding oneself to the rule of a certain order. In all religious orders, three years at least of simple profession are a necessary condition for the validity of solemn profession, and for lay brothers, six years of simple profession and an age of at least thirty years are required. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Profession_(religious)   (641 words)

individualProfile.asp?indid=1833 These refugees, as Wallis saw it, had been "inoculated" by capitalist influences during the war and were absconding "to support their consumer habit in other lands." Wallis then admonished critics against pointing to the boatpeople to "discredit" the righteousness of Vietnam's newly victorious Communist regime. Meanwhile, some fifteen Democratic members of the House made Wallis the guest of honor at a breakfast confab whose subject, according to The New York Times, was devising ways to instill support for the Democratic Party into the hearts of the religious faithful. Seeking out religious cover for its unambiguously leftwing politics, the magazine, which today has a combined print and electronic readership of over 100,000, has consistently positioned itself in opposition to U.S. foreign policies, both foreign and domestic. www.discoverthenetwork.org /individualProfile.asp?indid=1833   (3328 words)

Blessed Honoratus Kozminski - Saint of the Day - American Catholic The Capuchins were expelled from Warsaw and forced to live in Zakroczym, where Honoratus continued his ministry and began founding twenty-six male and female religious congregations, whose members took vows but wore no religious habit and did not live in community. The writings of Father Honoratus are extensive: forty-two volumes of sermons, 21 volumes of letters as well as 52 printed works on ascetical theology, Marian devotion, historical writings, pastoral writings — not counting his many writings for the religious congregations he founded. Honoratus worked very zealously to serve the Church, partly by establishing a great variety of religious congregations adapted to the special circumstances of Poland in those years. www.americancatholic.org /Features/SaintOfDay?id=1231   (604 words)

Drug History As soon as an effort is made to suppress peyote, the cry is raised that it is unconstitutional to do so and is an invasion of religious liberty. He notes that the opium habit, like any other habit, must be learned: "Making allowance for constitutional differences, I should say that *in less that 120 days* no habit of opium-eating could be formed strong enough to call for any extraordinary self-conquest in renouncing it, even suddenly renouncing it. Suppose the Negros of the South had Cocaine Church!" [Thomas S.

Välisministeerium : Christmas Customs in Estonia For Estonians, Christmas is a mixture of the traditional, the modern, the secular, and the religious. The habit came to Estonia probably from Western and Southern Finland and was at first popular mostly among the local Swedish-speaking population, especially on the island of Vormsi where the inhabitants maintained close contact with their kinsmen in Sweden and Finland. Some years later, after regaining independence, Christmas became an official religious holiday again. www.vm.ee /eng/kat_174/1191.html   (1584 words)

The Behavior of Crowds: The Absolutism Of The Crowd-Mind The habit of thinking as a crowd is so widespread that it is impossible to trace the influence of its rationalistic negations in the daily mental habits of most of us. There is the same habit of giving ontological rather than functional value to general ideas, the same other-worldliness, the same moral dilemmas, the same contempt for the material, for the human body, for selfhood; the same assertion of finality, and the conformist spirit. The intellectualist bias of the average man is doubtless due in great part to the fact that theology, and therefore the religious education of the young, both Christian and Jewish, has throughout the history of these religions been saturated with Platonism. www.geocities.com /danielmacryan/bcrowds6.html   (1584 words)

Dappled Things Religious orders had (and often still have) their own rites of tonsure, often with different ways of cutting the hair (the famous "brothers' bald spot") and always with a different religious habit. The Bishop's ministers then remove the degraded man's garment and his clerical habit, and they dress him in secular clothing. The man would present himself to the bishop who would ritually cut a lock of his hair (the tonsuring itself) and invest him with the cassock and surplice, the garb of the clergy. donjim.blogspot.com /2003_08_01_donjim_archive.html   (12639 words)

2blowhards.com: Massengale on Modernism Although Modernism was meant to be an approach that suited a post-religious age, it quickly took on all the characteristics of a traditional religion, not that it was ever able to deliver the satisfaction and happiness traditional religions sometimes manage to. Kind of standing around, too weary and smart to buy into Marx or Freud or Modernism (let alone Fascism), but still (being human) full of religious hopes and feelings, and incredibly uncertain what to do about them, or where to put them. While the ideology is wearing off and Modernism is becoming more of a habit than anything, the gospel still has a hold on the priesthood and the true believers. www.2blowhards.com /archives/001361.html   (6059 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sisters of Saint Joseph He also prescribed as their religious dress a black habit and veil, a black cincture on which a large rosary is worn, a band of white linen across the forehead, and a white linen coif fastened under the chin. The habit is black, with a scapular of the same colour, a black veil and white linen kerchief, domino and forehead band, a leathern cincture, and a five decade rosary beads. The vicar-general, the Rev. Claude Cholleton, invited Mother St. John to repair, in 1807, to Saint-Etienne to take charge of a little band of religious representing different communities which, like that of St. Joseph, had been disbanded during the Revolution. www.newadvent.org /cathen/08511a.htm   (7845 words)

Saint John Climacus Hearing that it was Martyrius himself, he replied, "And who would have said that you gave the habit to an Abbot of Mount Sinai?" Another religious, a solitary, made the same prediction on a similar visit, and washed the feet of the one who would some day be Abbot of Mount Sinai. Once that religious journeyed to Antioch and took the young John with him; they visited Saint Anastasius, a future Patriarch of Antioch, and the Saint asked Martyrius who it was who had given the habit to this novice? On the death of his director, when John was about thirty-five years old, he withdrew into a deeper solitude, where he studied the lives and writings of the Saints and was raised to an unusual height of contemplation. home.earthlink.net /~wolfofthecross/id9.html   (396 words)
