1975 Jubilee Ordination
On Sunday, 29 June 1975, Pope Paul VI ordained over 350 men as Catholic priests in an open air ceremony in St. Peter's Square in what has been considered the largest ordination in history. Sixteen of the ordinands would go on to be consecrated bishops, and three of them would be elevated to the cardinalate.

Those to be ordained came primarily from seminaries in Rome, though some ordinands traveled to Rome.

The ordination took place on 29 June 1975, the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul and the eve of the 12th anniversary of the coronation of Pope Paul VI. Twenty bishops concelebrated the Mass. In ...

Basilica Of Saint Paul Outside The Walls
The Papal Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls (, ) is one of Rome's four major papal basilicas, along with the basilicas of Saint John in the Lateran, Saint Peter's, and Saint Mary Major, as well as one of the city’s Seven Pilgrim Churches. The basilica is the conventual church of the adjacent Benedictine abbey. It lies within Italian territory, but the Holy See owns the basilica and it is part of the Vatican's extraterritoriality. History The basilica was founded by the Roman Emperor Constantine I over the burial place of Paul of Tarsus, where it was said that, after the apostle's execution, his followers erected a memorial, called a ''cella memoriae''. This first basilica was consecrated by Pope Sylvester in 324. In 386, Emperor Theodosius I began erecting a much larger and more beautiful basilica with a nave and four aisles with a transept. It was probably consecrated around 402 by Pope Innocent I. The work, including the mosaics, was not completed until Leo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Archpriest
The ecclesiastical title of archpriest or archpresbyter belongs to certain priests with supervisory duties over a number of parishes. The term is most often used in Eastern Orthodoxy and the Eastern Catholic Churches and may be somewhat analogous to a monsignor, vicar forane or dean in the Latin Church, but in the Eastern churches an archpriest wears an additional vestment and, typically, a pectoral cross, and becomes an archpriest via a liturgical ceremony. The term may be used in the Latin Catholic Church in certain historical titles and may replace in popular usage the title of ''vicar forane'', otherwise often known as a dean. Antiquity In ancient times, the archdeacon was the head of the deacons of a diocese, as is still the case in the Eastern Orthodox Church, while the archpriest was the chief of the presbyterate of the diocese, i.e. of the priests as a body. The latter's duties included deputising for the bishop in spiritual matters when necessary. Western C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
