...witnessed by the world was a sacred occurrence in Vatican participated by Cardinals from different parts of the world who composed the College of Cardinals. Pope Francis will be leading the entire Catholic Church in the world with about 1.2 billion Catholic believers as of 2010 Census of the 2012 Annuario Pontificio (Pontifical Yearbook). The Catholic Church is headed by a Pope while a democratic Government is headed by a President. The structure of church government in choosing their leader is called Papacy which is the system of central government of the Roman Catholic Church of which the pope is the supreme head being accorded special respect; while the layman’s government known as presidency, the administration or the executive, the collective administrative and governmental entity that exists around an office of president of a state or nation. The manner of choosing a pope begins with a papal conclave known as the meeting of the College of Cardinals convened to elect a new Bishop of Rome. The conclave has been the procedure for choosing the pope for more than half of the time the church has been in existence, and is the oldest ongoing method for choosing the leader of an institution. These Cardinals are from different parts of the world. On the other hand, the manner of choosing a pope and a president is significantly different. The Pope was selected by the cardinals for the papacy while the president is chosen by the people at large in a democratic...

...Populorum Progressio, written in 1967, Pope Paul VI mainly focuses on the idea of the development and progress of people, which has become a deep concern to the Church. With the increase of hunger, poverty, endemic disease, and ignorance of the people, Paul requires that all men should explore this serious problem. Populorum Progrssio is divided into two main parts: man’s complete development and the common development of mankind. Paul focused on a variety of Catholic teachings which relate to the moral areas. One of the areas that Paul focuses on is solidarity. Solidarity is one of the principles of social justice we have discussed in class, which is defined as that we are one family and to look at all people as neighbors, not as enemies. Paul encourages the rich to stand in solidarity with those who are impoverished. Solidarity involves acknowledging the sufferings of our neighbors and doing whatever there is to minimize their difficulties. Paul suggests that nations should incorporate effective economic structures that will address the needs of the impoverished. This principle of morality of solidarity is still applied in our daily lives right now. Even though the idea of solidarity should be applied in our world today, we are faced with a huge gap between the rich and the poor. In fact, it might be correct to say that the gap between the rich and the poor has gotten greater since the time of Paul. With the corporate globalization and economic structure, it is almost impossible...

...Frank Van Der Veken Midterm Exam On this popular television show, the host announces comments that are very arguable. He states that bishops, priests, and nuns have no business talking about justice and that the, along with activists and theologians are turning the church into something like the Communist Party. The host does not agree with any relationship between faith and justice. He contends that faith is about trusting in God and God’s mercy and does not require promoting justice. Also, he insists that justice is a socialist idea, not a Christian one. Overall, making a bold observation that faith has nothing to do with justice. Although, this host has strong opinions, he needs consider more factors before making such bold points. Everyone has their own opinion and not all Christians understand faith in the same manner. According to one of Avery Dulles’s writings, The Assurance of Things Hoped For, faith has multiple understandings throughout both Testaments of the Bible. Faith can be defined as an acceptance of God’s promises and demands. “In the Old Testament faith is depicted as the appropriate response to God’s faithfulness to his covenant promises” (Dulles 17). Overall, faith is tested by obedience and fidelity. In the New Testament, it refers to faith as Pistic which is a Greek word that means faith and further, a truth in God. Moreover, faith means personal trust in Jesus as the bearer of the kingdom (Dulles 17). According to Dulles, faith can...

...Henry was often considered to have relied on Wolsey to for fill his wishes often not completing things himself as he had someone else to do them for him. I agree to a substantial extent that Henry surrendered power in government to Cardinal Wolsey as throughout Henry’s reign Wolsey had to complete tasks of which henry set out to take credit for. Henry was otherwise occupied by leisure activities and practically surrendered his power to Wolsey. This is evident in the fourth source as Scaresbrick states that Cavendish (Wolsey’s servant) shows that Wolsey was handed the cares of the state as Henry was always otherwise occupied with activities such as jousting and dancing. The king can be considered to be self-indulgent. Wolsey can also be shown to have been given governmental power as in if an issue raised within parliament or the English economy he would be called upon and be blamed for the mistake or ordered to amend it. This source can be considered less valid as it was written in 1968 and could be influenced by historical opinion. This is because the time in which the source was written is long after the period in which the source is essentially documented from. This source suggests that power was surrendered to Wolsey as Henry showed a sense of incapability as he always was otherwise occupied. The king considered the ultimate source of power but would need assistance in certain areas. This is highlighted within source five as Wolsey is dominant figure within parliament but...

...Compare and contrast any two Dulles models of the church suggesting one that might help the church today? There is five Avery Dulles models in which make up the Church today with a sixth be added later. It’s what’s make the Church up today. Each performs a different function in its own right and the Church in which we can indirectly grow in our understanding of the Church. The models which make up the Church are the Church as an institution, as a Mystical Communion, as a Sacrament, as a Herald and Servant with the Eschatology later added as the sixth. In each case these models form views on the Church role, audience and the goal of the Church. The models portray the strengths and weakness of the Church along with the understanding of divine revelation. There is models of the Church in which share the same traits but also have a different opinion on other matters. There are models in which benefit the Church more today with the changing of peoples opinion over time. The Church of Christ does not exist in the world without an organization or structure. The models help see the Church as a servant which helps humanity achieve its full potential in God’s history. The institutional model and Mystical models of the Church both different but both serve the Church in different ways. Their strengths while help the Church also can be their weakness. The Church as an institution emphasizes the hierarchy of the Church. The Church is essentially a single society having a constitution which...

... It suggests that actually Wolsey was not successful as the king’s chief minister. It tells us that Wolsey was ‘amateurish and uncreative’ in government and that even with the church he was only ‘moderately successful’. It suggest that Wolsey tried to do the impossible, he wanted to ‘rule as king when he was not king’ which again indicates that he was not successful as the kings chief minister as he was trying to take over the kings role. I agree to a certain extent because Wolsey was only trying to secure his own position rather than making any real reforms but I don’t believe that he was ‘amateurish and uncreative’ in government because if he was I don’t think that Henry would of made him Lord Chancellor and following that making him cardinal. I also believe that Wolsey wasn’t just moderately successful with the church as well because if he was only moderately successful then he wouldn’t have been appointed legate a latere. Therefore I only partly agree with what is suggested in the source as I still would say that actually Wolsey was successful as the...

...Chapter 11 The Moral Virtues Once the various faculties of the soul are rectified in regard to the supernatural order through the theological virtues, it is necessary to rectify them in regard to the means for attaining that end. This is the role of the moral virtues. As we have already mentioned, it is impossible to enumerate all the moral virtues, since there can be a virtue wherever there can be a morally good habit regarding a given area of human activity, and human activities are multiple. However, theologians generally group the moral virtues around the basic cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude. Prudence The first of the four cardinal virtues and the most important as a fulcrum for all the other moral virtues is prudence. It is a special virtue infused by God into the practical intellect for the right government of one's actions in view of the supernatural end. Prudence is the most necessary of all the moral virtues because its function is precisely to point out and command the just mean or measure in regard to any and all human actions. It enables us to judge accurately what is the morally good thing to do under particular circumstances. The importance of the virtue of prudence is especially evident in certain aspects of human life. First, it helps the individual avoid sin, pointing out through experience the causes and occasions of sin as well as the opportune remedies. Secondly, it contributes to the increase and growth of virtue...

...Figure 1: Shukongojin, 12th/14th century Japan. It is composed of wood with traces of polychromy. The sculpture is from Kate S. Buckingham Endowment, 1958. The information is from the Art Institute of Chicago. The image is taken from a sketch over a photograph from an LG camera phone. Lester Leong ASST/AH 219 February 9, 2013 Visual Analysis: Shukongojin The Art Institute’s Shukongojin is a Japanese free standing wooden sculpture that is 91 cm tall with traces of red pigment, and was created approximately during the 12th-14th century. Shukongojin is also known as the Thunderbolt Deity that has the power to pierce ignorance with wisdom and defeat evil. The deity is a protector of Buddhist law and is usually placed at gateways of Buddhist temples. The Art Institute created a perfect setting for the sculpture. It was placed on top of a pedestal under a soft yellow light, which gave it a divine appearance. Complimented with the solemn silence at the time and other Buddhist deities on pedestals nearby, the experience was similar to that of a sacred temple. Shukongojin is composed of shapes and direction of the lines that give the sculpture a menacing appearance. The sculpture has three distinct shapes: the head, right arm, and base. The head’s primary noticeable feature is the hair. The hair has a general angular shape that appears like a cone composed of smaller cones. Also the hair has a wavy style which gives it a flame like image. The heads’ secondary feature...

...Cardinal vs. Blue Jay Research 1 Cardinal vs. Blue Jay Research Kerri Cardinal RES 110 Research and Information Utilization Marcella Gardner, Instructor July 18, 2013 Cardinal vs. Blue Jay Research Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) and Blue Jays (Cyanocitta cristata) are beautiful and colorful creatures. They are both members of the bird species classified as Chordata Aves and belong in the Passeriformes or perching, songbird category. These two birds are known as the most colorful in the species. Although both birds are in the same species and have similarities, their behaviors vary in their habitat, diet, and mating ceremonies. It is especially easy to identify the two birds. Their markings are similar in regards to color contrast, with black and white stripes against a brilliant background of either cardinal red or royal blue. They both have a crown worn like a hat that is raised or lowered, depending on their “moods.” One thing to note is that the Blue Jay does lose its feathers but the Cardinal does not molt. The regions in which these birds live are similar. Both the Cardinal and the Blue Jay reside in the United States and Canada East of the Rocky Mountains. Cardinals also reside in some southwestern states (Arizona and California), and as far north as New York and the New England states. Blue Jays migrate and move south during the cold of winter; whereas, Cardinals can tolerate colder climates and do not migrate. Cardinals and Blue Jays differ...

...Introduction: I work at Cardinal Glennon Children’s hospital. This is a hospital designated to care for children between the ages of 0 through 21 years of age. It is located within the city limits of Saint Louis, Missouri. I am a registered nurse (RN) in the Emergency Department (ED). Our hospital is a 190 inpatient bed hospital (“Cardinal Glennon”, 2015). They also provide specialty care and outpatient services. The ED specifically has a 24 bed unit and is a Level 1 pediatric trauma center. According to our website we see and treat nearly 41,000 children per year in the ED (“Cardinal Glennon”, 2015). It is truly a fascinating place to work and I learn something new every day that I am there. How Statistics are used at my Workplace: At Cardinal Glennon, there are various forms of statistics used. Like many other hospitals, the administration keeps track of numbers for all sorts of reasons. A few examples are as follows; the amount of infections that are related to central lines, how much profit was made each year, how many patients were seen in the ED each day, week, month and year, patient satisfaction scores, handwashing rates of co-workers, amount of blood cultures drawn each month and the amount that were determined contaminated. Those are just a few that matter to nursing but I am sure each individual department has their own forms of statistics they track. After these different sets of data are complied, some form of chart or graph is used to make an impact on the employees...

...Once upon a time the 49ers won the superbowl. The last minute touchdown saved the team and made the final score 24 to 27. Soon after the touchdown was made the game winning ball was thrown into the audience in spite of celebration. Sadly no one was able to find the ball in the bleachers. All of the fans were checked at the end of the game to make sure the ball wasn’t stolen. The next day the coach came to the players saying that one dedicated fan offered the team a billion dollars for the ball. The team then knew that they had to find the ball. One teammate suggested to hire a detective but then another came up with the idea to hire a mathematician instead. When the mathematician arrived the first thing he asked was, “In which direction was the ball thrown?” The player that threw the ball then answered, “The ball was thrown west.” So then they went to the west part of the stadium and the mathematician told everyone to split up into two groups, one goes left and one goes right. He brought everyone to the west side of the stadium because he knew that the ball translated to that area. He also knew that the ball could have bounced left or right. The team searching the right side of where the ball would have been translated to found a note saying, “I found your ball but, I won’t let you have it so easy. Go to the centerpoint of the stadium then search for another set of directions.” The mathematician then drew a map of the stadium then found the centerpoint. When they all arrived...
