| ARTICLES RELATED TO acolytes | | | |  acolytes: Encyclopedia II - Gallican rite - The Liturgical YearThe Luxeuil Lectionary, the Gothicum and Gallicum Missals, and the Gallican adaptations of the Hieronymian Martyrology are the chief authorities on this point, and to these may be added some information to be gathered from the regulations of the Councils of Agde (506), Orleans (541), Tour (567), and Mâcon (581), and from the "Historia Francorum" of St. Gregory of Tours, as to the Gallican practice in the sixth century.
It is probable that there were many variations in different times and places, and that the influence of the Hieronym ...

| | | | | | acolytes: Encyclopedia II - Sandworm Dune - Paul-Muad'Dib Leto II and the Sandworms Paul-Muad'Dib and Leto II had a unique experience with melange in their high tolerances and experiences of the spice agony. In Muad'Dib even a slight exposure to melange triggered prescience in him, but he built up an ever increasing resistance to it. When he went through the spice agony he was given complete prescience, a complete map of the future, as well as a complete awakening as the Kwisatz Haderach.
Leto II, wishing to avoid complete prescience avoided high concentrations of melange, but was eventually kidnapped and forced to c ...

| | | | | | acolytes: Encyclopedia II - First Council of Nicaea - Passover Easter Controversy After the June 19 settlement of the most important topic, the question of the date of the Christian Passover, now called Easter, was brought up. This feast is linked to the Jewish Passover, as crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus occurred during that festival. By the year 300, most Churches had adopted the Western style of celebrating the feast on the Sunday after the Passover, placing the emphasis on the resurrection, which occurred on a Sunday. Others however celebrated the feast on the 14th of the Jewish month Nisan, the date of the cruc ...

| | | | | acolytes: Encyclopedia II - Alessandro Valignano - Legacy Valignano founded the Jesuit college in Macao. He travelled from Goa and visited Japan three times, in 1579 when he stayed three years, in 1590 and in 1598.
Valignano paved the way for a closer relationship between Asian and European peoples by advocating equal treatment of all human beings. He was a great admirer of the Japanese people and envisioned a future when Japan would be one of the leading Christian countries in the world. He famously wrote that the Japanese "excell not only all the other Oriental peoples, they surpass the Europeans as well" (Alessandro Valignano, 1584, "Historia del Principo y Progresso de la Compania ...

The ultimate goal of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, up to the novel Dune ,is the creation of the Kwisatz Haderach, a male Bene Gesserit.

Bene Gesserit - Training from childhood.
The Bene Gesserit begin training acolytes when they are very young, and those of preference they would begin training from birth. The younger a child becomes an acolyte, the more likely that child will become a Reverend Mother. The Bene Gesserit do train people at later ages, but only if they are supremely talented (e.g., the House Corrino leader Farad'n) or if they have already received similar training (e.g., the Honoured Matre M ...

| | | | | acolytes: Encyclopedia II - Alessandro Valignano - Late Life and the Decline of the Mission Alessandro Valignano excercised his position as Visitor by overseeing all of the Jesuit missions in Asia from the major Portugese port of Macao, but his primary focus was always on the Japanese mission. By 1600 the Jesuit mission there was in decline because of persecution from the shogun Hideyoshi and later, most severely, under the Tokugawas.
Tokugawa Ieyasu worked diligently to thwart all European attempts to reestablish contact with Japan, religious or otherwise, after his rise to power in 1603. All samurai and members of the army ...

| | | | | acolytes: Encyclopedia II - Alessandro Valignano - Mercantilism and the Port of Nagasaki As the scale of the mission began to expand rapidly, financial difficulties began to crop up. All of the Jesuit institutions: the seminaries, the schools, the printing presses and the missions required money to finance. This eternal conflict, which Valignano describes as the one between "God and Mammon" raged for most of the history of the mission.
Originally local Japanese daimyo had tried to curry favor with the Jesuit administration in order to have the Portuguese trading ships visit their local port more frequently. All of this ch ...

| | | | | acolytes: Encyclopedia II - Alessandro Valignano - Education and Commission Valignano excelled as a student at the University of Padua, where he studied Christian theology. Valignano's insights into Christian message convinced many within the Church that he was the perfect individual to carry the spirit of the Counter-Reformation to the East. He was quickly ordained in the Society of Jesus and at the age of 34 he was appointed Visitor of Missions in the Indies and had made his pr ...

| | | | | acolytes: Encyclopedia II - Alessandro Valignano - Establishment of the Seminaries The need for a natively trained clergy was obvious to Valignano, and so in 1580 a recently emptied Buddhist monastery in Arima province was converted into a nascent seminary. There twenty-two young Japanese converts began to the process of instruction towards holy orders. The process was repeated two years later at Azuchi, where the seminarians numbered thirty-three.
The first order of business in the seminaries would be language training. Valignano made clear that all seminarians, whatever their background, would receive education in ...

Bene Gesserit - Addiction to the melange.
Reverend Mothers are dependent on melange. Bene Gesserit however, have no dependency upon the drug unless they undergo the spice agony. Though the effects of melange are highly favourable, including vastly increased lifespan and mental powers, it is an addiction. Withdrawal causes death and individual Reverend Mothers are vulnerable to isolation and being without the sisterhood's resources. Melange is expen ...

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Finally, the council promulgated twenty new church laws, called canons, (though the exact number is subject to debate, see [2]), that is, unchanging rules of discipline. The twenty as listed in the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers are as follows:[3]

2. establishment of a minimum term for catechism;

There is no information before the fifth century and very little then; and throughout the whole period there was, to judge by existing documents and descriptions, so much diversity that, though the general outlines of the rite were of the same pattern, the name must not be taken to imply more than a very moderate amount of homogeneity. The Rite of Spain, fairly widel ...

| | | | | acolytes: Encyclopedia II - First Council of Nicaea - Attendees Constantine had invited all 1800 bishops of the Christian church (about 1000 in the east and 800 in the west).
The number of participating bishops cannot be accurately stated; Socrates Scholasticus and Epiphanius of Salamis counted 318; Eusebius of Caesarea, only 250. The participating bishops were given free travel to and from their episcopal sees to the council, as well as lodging. These bishops did not travel alone; each one had permission to bring with him two presbyters and three deacons, so the total number of attendees would have been above 1500. Eusebius speaks of an almost innumerable ...

In this council, Church and State acted together. Earlier councils, such as the Council of Jerusalem, had resolved important questions, to be sure. Now, the Council of Nicaea formulated a definitive statement against a growing heresy, a profession of faith intended to clarify and defend the heritage of true belief. This ...
