In Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, the epiclesis (also sometimes spelled epiklesis, since it is a transliterated Greek word) is that part of the prayer of consecration of the Eucharistic elements (bread and wine) by which the priest invokes the Holy Spirit. Some Eastern Orthodox theologians hold that the epiclesis is essential to the Eucharist -- without it, the mystical change will not occur. It sh ...

Archbishops of Dublin came to be major players in the formation of Irish policy in the independent era, and none more so than John Charles McQuaid, Archbishop of Dublin from the 1940s to the early 1970s. By the 1980s, however, and in particular in the 1990s, the Catholic Church lost much of its influence in all walks of life, from politics to the sexual mores of ordinary Irish Catholics. The sexual scandals of the 1990s, when it was revealed that a small number of Roman Catholic clergy had sexually molested young people, particularly hit the ...

In June 1988 Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre announced his intention to consecrate Williamson and three other priests as bishops. Lefebvre did not have a pontifical mandate for these consecrations (i.e. permission from the pope), normally required by Canon 1382 of the Code of Canon Law. On June 17, 1988 Cardinal Bernardin Gantin, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops sent Williamson a formal canonical warning that he would automatically incur the penalty of ex ...

Altars occupy a prominent place in the sanctuary of many churches, especially in Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican, Episcopal, Methodist, and other highly liturgical denominations. In some churches it may be surrounded by altar rails. In Eastern Christian churches, there is usually some form of iconostasis or "icon wall" in front of it. It is used primarily to hold and, in some cases, to prepare the bread and wine used in the Eucharist. In Reformed or Presbyterian churches, a table that serves the function of an altar is o ...

Sungenis was raised in a Catholic family, but became a Protestant in 1974, aged 19. He held various posts in several Reformed churches, including a stint with radio preacher Harold Camping of Family Radio. He also gained an M.A. in theology from Westminster Theological Seminary in 1982. Sungenis reconverted to Catholicism in 1992, aged 37. He co-authored a book on eschatology in reply to Camping titled Shockwave 2000: The Harold Camping 1994 Debacle (New Leaf Press, 1994). His conversion story is chronicled in the first of the ...

Three of Sungenis' best-known works are Not by Faith Alone (1997) on the doctrine of justification by faith alone, Not by Scripture Alone (1997) rebutting the Protestant doctrine of sola scriptura, and Not by Bread Alone (2000) on the Eucharist. A fourth "Not...Alone" book, Not by Science Alone, is yet to be released. Galileo Was Wrong is due out in 2005 defending his geocentric model of the universe.

The word is used in Acts ( 14:13) and Hebrews 13:10 for the sacrifice offered upon it - the sacrifice Jesus offered. Paul of Tarsus found among the many altars erected in Athens one bearing the inscription, "To the unknown God" (Acts 17:23), or rather "to an [i.e., some] unknown God." The reason for this inscription cannot now be accurately determined. It afforded the apostle the occasion of proclaim ...

The Pro-Cathedral remains a focal point of religious and state ceremonial activity. Up until 1983, incoming presidents of Ireland traditionally attended, prior to their civil inauguration, a religious ceremony in either St Patrick's Cathedral (if they were members of the Church of Ireland) or the Pro-Cathedral (if they were Roman Catholic). Whereas up to 1973, those ceremonies were exclusively denominational, the ceremonies for the inaugurations of President Childers in 1973, President Ó Dálaigh in 1974 and President Hillery in 1976, were ...

Dublin possesses two cathedrals, but unusually, both belong to one faith, the minority Church of Ireland, which up until 1871 had been the established religion in Ireland. In contrast, the majority religion in Ireland, Roman Catholicism, has no cathedral in Ireland's capital city and hasn't had one since the Reformation, when the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity (generally known as Christchurch) and St. Patrick's Cathedral were taken by the Church of Ireland. Even though Christchurch has been the property of the Anglican church for nearl ...

The Pro as it is sometimes nicknamed, owes its origins to the anti-Catholic Penal Laws1 which restricted Catholicism (and other non-Church of Ireland faiths) until the early nineteenth century. For centuries, Roman Catholics could not celebrate Mass or the sacraments in public and were subject to severe penalties (hence the word 'penal'). While these laws ebbed and flowed in terms of the severity with which they were applied, Catholic churches if they were built at all, were built down narrow difficult to find roadways. By ...

The Pro-Cathedral was never intended to be other than a temporary acting cathedral, pending the availability of funds to build a full cathedral. Various locations for the new cathedral were discussed. W.T. Cosgrave, President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State (prime minister) from 1922 to 1932 and a deeply religious Catholic, suggested that the burnt out shell of the General Post Office, the location of the 1916 Rising, be turned into a cathedral, but the id ...

Internally the Pro-Cathedral is dramatically different to the two main cathedrals of Dublin. Its mixture of Greek and Roman styles has proved controversial, being variously described as an artistic gem and an eyesore. Its main aisle leads up to an altar, behind which a stained glass window of the Blessed Virgin Mary (the Saint Mary of its name) is visible. For most of its existence it possessed a massive Victorian altar and reredos by Turnerelli, a Belfast born sculptor of Italian parentage. In the late 1970s this was removed as part of a re ...
