External cardinal is a term used to describe an opposite to the “curial cardinal”, with reference to the certain category of the members of the College of Cardinals in the late Middle Ages (11th to 13th century). In a strict sense, the "external cardinal" was a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church who did not reside in the Roman Curia, because of simultaneously being a bishop of the episcopal see other than suburbicarian, or abbot of an abbey situated outside Rome. In the wider sense, it may also concern cardinals who were appointed to the external episcopal sees and resigned their memberships in the College of Cardinals with this appointment. As well, it can concern cardinals who were generally curial cardinals, but for some time...

The Latin phrase Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus means: "Outside the Church there is no salvation". The most recent Catholic Catechism interpreted this to mean that "all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body." This expression comes from the writings of Saint Cyprian of Carthage, a bishop of the 3rd century. The axiom is often used as short-hand for the doctrine, upheld by both the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, that the Church is absolutely necessary for salvation ("one true faith"). The theological basis for this doctrine is founded on the beliefs that (1) Jesus Christ personally established the one Church; and (2) the Church serves as the means by which the graces won by Christ...

Progressive Evangelicos have received little attention from those studying Brazilian Protestantism. By focusing on this branch of Brazilian Protestantism, the author intends to contribute to the understanding of the socio-political relevance of the Evangelico presence in Brazil. Progressive Evangelico Christianity, which combines charismatic spirituality with socio-political progressive action, offers a valuable approach to Christian social ethics in contemporary Brazil that may lead to substantive transformation at both individual and social levels. The book presents specific Evangelico responses to the plight of the poor, coming from three different faces of Brazilian Protestantism: the Ecumenical face, the Evangelical face and the...

The term Fair Game is used to describe policies and practices carried out by the Church of Scientology towards people and groups it perceives as its enemies. Founder L. Ron Hubbard established the policy in the 1960s, in response to criticism both from within and outside his organization. Individuals or groups who are "Fair Game" are judged to be a threat to the Church and, according to the policy, can be punished and harassed using any and all means possible. In 1968, Hubbard officially cancelled use of the term "Fair Game" because of negative public relations it caused, although the Church's aggressive response to criticism continued. Applying the principles of Fair Game, Hubbard and his...

This work investigates the use of scripture - the Old Testament - in the Johannine passion narrative. Its thesis is that John's interpretation of scripture is one of faithfulness and imagination. This study involves a review of current scholarship on the use of the Old Testament in the New, and a detailed study of the explicit scriputre citations and implicit scriptural allusions in the Johannine passion narrative. But it is not a mere historical inquiry into John's use of scripture. Being encouraged by a renewed interest shown in pre- critical interpretation by many late-modern interpreters of scripture, this study attempts to positively evaluate John's use of scriputure in the light of the hermeneutical discussions today and cocludes...

The faithful and discreet slave is the term used by Jehovah's Witnesses to describe the collective body of "anointed" Christians alive on earth. This "remnant" of the 144,000, whose members expect to ascend to heaven at death, currently numbers more than 10,800. Jehovah's Witnesses believe this group exercises teaching authority in all matters pertaining to doctrine and articles of faith. The "faithful and discreet slave" is described as a "class" of Christians that operates under the direct control of Jesus Christ and has been delegated the task of "feeding" Christians with scriptural instruction and exercising direction over their interests and affairs. The concept is a central doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses' system of belief and is...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In religion, the term false prophet is a label given to a person who is viewed as illegitimately claiming charismatic authority within a religious group. The individual may be seen as one who falsely claims the gift of prophecy, or who uses that gift for demagogy or evil ends. The label 'prophet' can be extremely subjective: Without exception, someone who is considered a 'true' prophet by some people is simultaneously considered a 'false' prophet by others. Prophets are particularly important figures in many of the world's major religions. In particular, this article will focus on false prophets in Judaism, Christianity and Islam and the specific interpretative and theological models each...

The past forty years has been a time of great change in the history of the Catholic Church, including the educational role of the family. In the Vatican II document Lumen Gentium, the family is described as a “domestic church” where all are called upon to actively and responsibly work for the common good, to return to religious traditions in the home, and to care for the marginalized in one’s family and community. FAMILIAS EN LA LUCHA examines what it can mean to journey with Roman Catholic Hispanic families living in New York City from the perspective of a parish religious educator. The case study method is used to probe the lived experience of Hispanic families as religious educators, and the role of the parish religious educator...

The Farrer theory (also called the Farrer-Goulder hypothesis) is a possible solution to the synoptic problem. The theory is that the Gospel of Mark was written first, followed by the Gospel of Matthew and then by the Gospel of Luke. It has mainly been advocated by English biblical scholars. It is named for Austin Farrer, who wrote On Dispensing With Q in 1955, but it has been picked up by other scholars including Michael Goulder and Mark Goodacre. The Farrer theory has the advantage of simplicity, as there is no need for hypothetical sources to be created by academics. Instead, advocates of the Farrer theory...

In ancient Roman religion and magic, the fascinus or fascinum was the embodiment of the divine phallus. The word can refer to the deity himself, to phallus effigies and amulets, and to the spells used to invoke his divine protection. Pliny calls it a medicus invidiae, a "doctor" or remedy for envy or the evil eye. A graphic representation of the power of the fascinus to ward off the evil eye is found on a Roman mosaic that depicts a phallus ejaculating into a disembodied eye; a 1st-century BC terracotta figurine shows "two little phallus-men sawing an eyeball in half." As a divinized phallus, the fascinus shared...

Patterns of family life have changed since the Bible and the Qur’an were written, so what does Christianity and Islam have to teach about fathering in Western society? This book compares ideal fathering in Islam and Christianity and application to the postmodern place of children, gender roles, discipline, and religious and sex education. Fathering ideals in Christianity and Islam are often similar. Ideal fathers value the needs of children as well as adults, give children a balance of boundaries and love, and are involved in inculcating character and reverence for God. Christian fathers are inspired by God the Father and Muslims by Muhammad the father to fulfill their own role as fathers, recognising it as a God-given and eternally...

Fatimah was a daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad from his first wife Khadija. She is regarded by Muslims as an exemplar for men and women. She remained at her father's side through the difficulties suffered by him at the hands of the Quraysh of Mecca. After migration to Medina, she married Ali ibn Abi Talib, Muhammad's cousin, and was mother to four of his children. She died a few months after her father, and was buried in Jannat al-Baqi in the city of Medina, although the exact location of her grave is unknown. Most Shias believe that she was injured when defending Ali against the first Khalifa, and that this incident led to her early death. She seems to have performed only three acts of political significance, each recorded in...

He came to be equated in literature with the Greek god Pan. Faunus was one of the oldest Roman deities, known as the di indigetes, and according to the epic poet Virgil, he was a legendary king of the Latins, who came with his people from Arcadia, and whose shade was consulted as a god of prophecy, under the name of Fatuus, with oracles in the sacred grove of Tibur, around the well Albunea, and on the Aventine Hill in ancient Rome itself. Marcus Terentius Varro asserted that the oracular responses were given in Saturnian verse. Faunus revealed the...
