High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Priscillianism is a Christian doctrine developed in the Iberian Peninsula (the Roman Hispania) in the 4th century by Priscillian, derived from the Gnostic-Manichaean doctrines taught by Marcus, an Egyptian from Memphis, and later considered a heresy by the Orthodox Church. Priscillian was described as "a man of noble birth, of great riches, bold, restless, eloquent, learned through much reading, very ready at debate and discussion" (Sulpicius Severus, "Histor. Sac.", II, 46). His first followers were a lady named Agape and a rhetorician named Helpidius. Through his oratorical gifts and reputation for extreme asceticism he attracted a large following, including two bishops named Instantius and...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Prison religion includes the religious beliefs and practices of prison inmates, usually stemming from or including concepts surrounding their imprisonment and accompanying lifestyle. "Prison Ministry" is a larger concept, including the support of the spiritual and religious needs of prison guards and staff, whose work in an often demanding and brutal environment often creates a special need for pastoral care, similar to the care that is extended to the military, police officers and fire fighters. Chaplains have worked with prisoners and prison staff for many years, even before formal legislation addressed the constitutional rights of inmates. However, recognition of the religious rights of...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the teaching of the Catholic Church, a private revelation refers to visions and revelations from God to a specific Christian which have taken place since the completion of the New Testament. There are two types of revelations: the universal revelations, or public revelations which are contained in the Bible or were transmitted by the Church via Apostolic Tradition. Public revelations ended with the preaching of the Apostles and must be believed by all Catholics. Saint Thomas Aquinas specifically taught that all public revelations ended with the death of Saint John the Apostle. Private revelations may at times occur to Christians as a form of contemplation but the determination of the...

Privilege in the Canon law of the Roman Catholic Church is the legal concept whereby someone is exempt from the ordinary operation of the law over time for some specific purpose. Papal privileges resembled dispensations, since both involved exceptions to the ordinary operations of the law. But whereas “dispensations exempt[ed] some person or group from legal obligations binding on the rest of the population or class to which they belong,” “[p]rivileges bestowed a positive favour not generally enjoyed by most people.” “Thus licences to teach or to practise law or medicine, for example,” were “legal privileges, since they confer[red] upon recipients the right to perform certain...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Probatus (Latin: Provato) was the Abbot of Farfa from 770 until 781, and the first abbot native to the Sabina. He steered the abbey through the fall of the Kingdom of the Lombards, trying to prevent the disastrous aggression of its last king, and kept it from falling under the jurisdiction of either the Papacy or the Papal States. With the benefit of his local connections he oversaw a great expansion of the abbey's properties through grants and purchases, and also rationalised its holdings to create a robust base for an early medieval monastic community. According to the Libellus constructionis Farfensis, a late ninth-century source, Probatus was "born in the Sabine province" and "fully...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In theology and philosophy, probabilism (from Latin probare, to test, approve) holds that in the absence of certainty, probability is the best criterion. The first (theological) was a religious thesis about ethics of 17th century, the second is a modern physical-philosophical thesis. In moral theology, especially Catholic, it refers especially to the view in casuistry that in difficult matters of conscience one may safely follow a doctrine that is probable, for example is approved by a recognized Doctor of the Church, even if the opposite opinion is more probable. This view was advanced by the Spanish theologian Bartolome de Medina (1527–1581) and defended by many Jesuits such as Luis Molina...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Problem of Hell is a logical problem related to religion. Hell's general portrayal in Christianity is sometimes perceived as inconsistent with the concepts of an omnibenevolent, just, and moral God. The problem of Hell revolves around four key points: it exists in the first place, some people go there, there is no escape, and it is punishment for actions or inactions done on Earth. The concept that non-believers face damnation is called special salvation. The concept that all are saved regardless of belief is referred to as universal reconciliation. The minority Christian doctrine that sinners are destroyed rather than punished eternally is referred to as annihilationism. The problem arises...

A procession (via Middle English lump, French procession, derived from Latin, processio, itself from procedere, to go forth, advance, proceed) is, in general, an organized body of people advancing in a formal or ceremonial manner. Many elements may be used to make a procession more significant than just "people walking in the same direction": A special mode of transport, such as a ceremonial barge, elephant howdah, horse drawn carriage, or a palanquin carried on the shoulders of others. Cleopatra's arrival to seduce Mark Antony on a perfumed barge has taken on legendary proportion. African kings sometimes ride in palanquins carved to look like luxury cars or other status symbols, while Muslim...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A processional cross is a crucifix or cross which is carried in Christian processions. They have a long history: the Gregorian mission of Saint Augustine of Canterbury to England carried one before them "like a standard", according to Bede, and other sources suggest that all churches were expected to possess one. They became detachable from their staff, so that the earliest altar crosses were processional crosses placed on a stand at the end of the procession. In large churches the "crux gemmata", or richly jewelled cross in precious metal, was the preferred style. Notable early examples include the Cross of Justin II (possibly a hanging votive cross originally), Cross of Lothair, and Cross of...

Prodigiosin is the red pigment produced by many strains of the bacterium Serratia marcescens, and some other unrelated microbial strains, such as Vibrio psychroerythrus, Streptomyces griseoviridis, and Hahella chejuensis. Its name is derived from "prodigious" - something marvellous. Prodigiosin is a secondary metabolite of Serratia marcescens. Because it is easy to detect, it has been used as a model system to study secondary metabolism. It has long been known the prodigiosin production is enhanced by phosphate limitation. It has been shown that in low phosphate conditions, pigmented strains grow to a higher...

Progressive Christianity is the name given to a movement within contemporary Protestant Christianity characterized by willingness to question tradition, acceptance of human diversity with a strong emphasis on social justice or care for the poor and the oppressed (see Minority groups) and environmental stewardship of the Earth. Progressive Christians have a deep belief in the centrality of the instruction to "love one another" (John 15:17) within the teaching of Jesus Christ. This leads to a focus on compassion, promoting justice and mercy, tolerance, and working towards solving the societal problems of poverty, discrimination, and environmental issues. This movement is by no means the only significant movement of progressive thought...

In evangelical Christian theology, progressive dispensationalism is a variation of traditional dispensationalism. All dispensationalists view the dispensations as chronologically successive. Progressive dispensationalists, in addition to viewing the dispensations as chronological successive, also view the dispensations as progressive stages in salvation history. So the term "progressive" comes from the concept of an interrelationship or progression between the dispensations. Progressive dispensationalism is not related to any social or political use of the term progressive, such as progressive Christianity....

As a form of Old Earth creationism, it accepts mainstream geological and cosmological estimates for the age of the Earth, but posits that the new "kinds" of plants and animals that have appeared successively over the planet's history represent instances of God directly intervening to create those new types by means outside the realm of science.

Ecclesiastical tribunals rely heavily on proof by witnesses in marriage nullity trials to make a determination regarding the alleged nullity of a marriage. Indeed, canon law holds proof by witnesses in great esteem. However, the norms on proof by witnesses are not as clear as they seem. Tribunals often run into difficulties in interpreting and applying them. This book, therefore, is an attempt to shed more light on the norms governing testimonial proof. It seeks to provide answers to the following questions: Who can and who cannot be a witness? How and by whom is testimony to be taken? How is the testimony to be evaluated? How does a judge arrive at a moral certitude regarding the testimony given? Consequently, this book investigates and...
