Secretary Martinez and other distinguished guests. Officers, board members, members of the John Carroll Society, and guests. Not far from here, at Georgetown University, there is a statue of Bishop John Carroll. The inscription on the pedestal reads, "John Carroll, Priest, Patriot, Prelate." As a loyal son and pastor of the Church and as a citizen of the new declared republic, he combined in the person the very best of Church and state: faith and patriotism. Many of you know that Carroll was educated in Europe, became a Jesuit there, taught there, and then fled from there when the Jesuits were suppressed. Returning to his native Maryland, he soon became involved in support of the American Revolution along with his cousin Charles, who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. In 1776 when Benjamin Franklin and the Continental Congress tried to get the French Canadians to join their cause, they called upon John Carroll to help because of his reputation as a patriot. One member even noted that Carroll would be "worth battalions: on the mission to Canada."

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... I > Patriarchate of the East Indies A B C D ... Z Patriarchate of the East Indies In consequence of an agreement between the Holy See and the Portuguese Government in 1886, settling difficulties that had arisen from the Goan Schism ( see A RCHDIOCESE OF G OA ), the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Goa was considerably restricted. Indeed, one of the causes of the Schism had been that both the Archbishop of Goa and the Bishop of Macao had been exercising acts of jurisdiction within the vicariates Apostolic of the British East Indies, though these had been already expressly withdrawn from their jurisdiction. The Portuguese Government had sided with the archbishop and his supporters against Rome, claiming a royal jus patronatus over the whole of the Church of India (see PADROADO). As compensation for his shorn jurisdiction the Archbishop of Goa was given the title of patriarch . The suffragan sees of Goa are Cochin Macao , Mylapur, and the praelatura nullius of Mozambique Acta Sanctae Sedis (Rome, 1886). U. BENIGNI

13. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Urubamba This prefecture apostolic was created by a Decree of the holy see in 1899 at the request of the Peruvian government. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15230b.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... U > Urubamba A B C D ... Z Urubamba (MISIONES DE SANTO DOMINGO DE URUBAMBA Y MADRE DE DIOS) This prefecture apostolic was created by a Decree of the Holy See mestizos who devote themselves to the exploitation of the india rubber industry and commercial pursuits. Some of these have preserved some vestiges of the Catholic Faith, but for the greater part they live in a state of complete indifference. The savages have no religion whatsoever, preserving only a vague sort of superstition concerning a supreme being and a spirit of evil. These missions, after passing through many vicissitudes and surmounting great difficulties, have been able to establish six stations: in Cuzco, Challabamba, San Jacinto, Sto Domingo, San Vicente, and San Luis. Of these the four last mentioned besides their chapels have free schools, the only ones among the savages. In 1911, 360 baptisms, 241 confirmations, and 22 marriages were registered. The greatest good, however, that the missionary exercises in these regions is to uplift and maintain a moral level among these people, who without him would fall into the most hopeless demoralization. He is the sole representative of right, of humanity, and of religion. VICTORINO OSENDE Transcribed by Thomas M. Barrett

Holy See From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The term Holy See Latin Sancta Sedes , lit. "holy seat") refers in a geographic sense to the episcopal see of Rome , of which the Pope is the ordinary ( i.e. , the diocesan bishop ); in canon law , the terms Holy See and Apostolic See refer to the Pope ("Roman Pontiff") and the Roman Curia together unless otherwise indicated by context (can. 361). Because in this latter sense the Holy See comprises both the Pope and the Roman Curia, it is effectually the government of the Catholic Church ; as such, it is recognised as having a legal personality under international law Although the Holy See is closely associated with the State of the Vatican City , the independent, sovereign state governed by the Holy See, the two entities are in fact separate and distinct. The Holy See administers the Vatican City, including all diplomatic functions; foreign embassies are accredited to the Holy See rather than to the Vatican City, and the Holy See establishes diplomatic agreements ("Concordats") with other sovereign states, on behalf both of itself and of the Vatican City (as appropriate). Generally speaking, the Holy See is a party on its own behalf to treaties of Ecclesiastical interest, and a party on the Vatican City's behalf to treaties of technical significance ( e.g.

Featured in Beachcomber Community Guides Vatican City Introduction Holy See (Vatican City) Introduction Top of Page Background: Popes in their secular role ruled much of the Italian peninsula for more than a thousand years until the mid 19th century, when many of the Papal States were seized by the newly united Kingdom of Italy. In 1870, the pope's holdings were further circumscribed when Rome itself was annexed. Disputes between a series of "prisoner" popes and Italy were resolved in 1929 by three Lateran Treaties, which established the independent state of Vatican City and granted Roman Catholicism special status in Italy. In 1984, a concordat between the Vatican and Italy modified certain of the earlier treaty provisions, including the primacy of Roman Catholicism as the Italian state religion. Present concerns of the Holy See include the failing health of Pope John Paul II, interreligious dialogue and reconciliation, and the adjustment of church doctrine in an era of rapid change and globalization. About 1 billion people worldwide profess the Catholic faith.

IMPRIMI POTEST: IMPRIMATUR: CHAPTER I THE LEGAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HOLY SEE AND VATICAN CITY STATE INTRODUCTION By way of introduction to this first chapter on the Legal Relationship Between the Holy See and Vatican City State , I will discuss the origin of the name Holy See , its concept and history, its legal personality, and the model of government of the Holy See as an absolute monarchy. Then I will talk about the 1929 Lateran Treaty’s creation of the Vatican City State, the monistic and dualistic theories of the publicists regarding the legal relationship between the Holy See and the Vatican City State, and the various opinions of the experts through the years about its statehood. Finally, I will go over the historical treaty between the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Holy See. With the bilateral signing of this accord (1973), the Holy See became an internationally recognized legal personality in the modern world.
