Monsignor Schneider, was the canon law Decree of Gratian Magisterium ?


The theory of the automatic loss of the papacy due to heresy remains only an opinion, and even St. Robert Bellarmin noticed this and did not present it as a teaching of the Magisterium itself. The perennial papal Magisterium never taught such an option.


So far Athanasius Schneider.

Bishop Schneider: About the Validity of the Pontificate of Pope Francis
September 18, 2023, Bishop Athanasius Schneider

Now, here is some comment on canon law ...

2.1. Il canone Si papa a fide devius (D.40 c.6) del Decretum Gratiani.

Il canone sesto della distinzione 40 del Decretum Gratiani ammette una prima deroga. Dopo aver presentato il caso di un papa non curantesi della salvezza della propria anima, inutile e "a bono taciturnus", osserva che un siffatto pontefice e un vero flagello, ma che nessun uomo può aver la presunzione di redarguirlo e correggerlo, poiche egli e colui che tutti giudica e da nessuno può essere giudicato, a meno che non "deprehendatur a fide devius".

Possiamo fare una duplice osservazione: da una parte si esclude assolutamente la possibilità di giudicare il papa per indegnità morale, dall'altra si ammette contemporaneamente un'eccezione.

The position of St. Robert Bellarmine is in fact a comment on this part of the canon law.

But canon law binding on the Church universal is magisterium. And the Decree of Gratian was so./HGL

Est-ce vrai pour les Allemagnes du Sud aussi ?


Le Moyen Âge en Allemagne, Scandinavie et les Îles Britanniques ... · Est-ce vrai pour les Allemagnes du Sud aussi ?

Je ne parle pas que des Bundesländer dans le Sud, Rhénanie-Palatinat, Sarre, Hesse, et encore plus vers le Sud Bade-Wurtemberg dans l'Ouest et Bavière dans l'Est.

Je parle aussi de chaque pays de l'Autriche, des Cantons Germanophones de la Suisse, de Liechtenstein et d'Alto Adige / Tyrolie Méridionale.

Non, ces pays là, hormis certains cantons de la Suisse, n'ont pas subi la Réforme.

La relation au Moyen âge est différent. Parmi ces pays, ce que je connais le mieux est en dehors de l'Allemagne fédérale, Autriche. Et pour imaginer bien Autriche, pensez la Vienne comme Rome, Salzbourg comme une petite ville italienne, je parle ici des villes, pas des pays, et les entourages comme la Bretagne, mais en viticole.

En d'autres mots, on a préservé l'esprit du Moyen âge, parce qu'on n'a pas subi la Réforme. On l'a même sublimé, voir le Baroque, qui prédomine sur le Moyen âge en proportion que les choses deviennent urbaines, tandis que le Moyen âge prédomine encore un peu sur le Baroque dans les campagnes (hormis les églises, qui même en campagne sont plus souvent baroque que gothiques).

Prenons un exemple, pas loin du nom de la rose ... Adson va devenir novice et ensuite moine à Melk ... contrairement aux personnages d'Umberto Eco, ce monastère bénédictin existe.

Auf dem Klosterfelsen befand sich nach Ansicht mehrerer Autoren in der Römerzeit das Kastell Melk, archäologische Nachweise dafür fehlen jedoch. Ab Anfang des 11. Jahrhunderts war Melk ein Machtzentrum der Babenberger in der Mark Ostarrichi (Österreich). Melk war bevorzugte Grablege der Babenberger und seit dem 13. Oktober 1014 Begräbnisstätte des heiligen Koloman. Handschriften in der Stiftsbibliothek Melk deuten darauf hin, dass schon unter Markgraf Leopold I. eine Gemeinschaft von Priestern eine Art Kollegiatstift am Ort unterhielt.

Durch die Erweiterung der Mark nach Norden und Osten entstanden neue Zentren. Melk sank in seiner Bedeutung, blieb aber Grablege der Babenberger. Im Investiturstreit gewährte Markgraf Leopold II. dem Passauer Bischof, Altmann von Passau, Asyl. Dieser war aus Passau wegen seiner Papsttreue vertrieben worden. Altmann hatte vermutlich erheblichen Anteil an Leopolds Entscheidung, auf dem Felsen oberhalb der Stadt und der Donau ein Kloster zu errichten. Am 21. März 1089 zogen Benediktinermönche des Stiftes Lambach und ihr Abt Sigibold in das neu erbaute Kloster auf dem Berg ein.[2]

Da das Kloster eine markgräfliche Gründung war, erhielt es 1122 eine Exemtion: Es wurde aus der Zuständigkeit des Bistums Passau ausgegliedert und direkt dem Papst unterstellt.

Je traduis :

Sur Le Rocher du Monastère, selon l'opinion de plusieurs auteurs, se trouva dans les siècles romaines le château Melk, mais on en manque des preuves archéologiques. À partir du début de l'XIe siècle, Melk était un centre du pouvoir des Babenberger de la Marche Ostarrichi (Autriche).* Melk était la sépulture préféré des Babenberger et depuis le 13 octobre 1014 le tombeau de saint Koloman. Dans la bibliothèque monastique de Melk, des manuscrits suggèrent que déjà sous le margrave Léopold I une communauté de prêtres entretenirent une forme de collégiale à l'endroit.

Par l'élargissement de la Marche vers le nord et vers l'est, de nouveaux centres se sont formés. Melk perdit en importance mais demeura la sépulture des Babenberg. Dans la Querelle des Investitures** le margrave Léopold II accorda asyle à l'évêque de Passau, [saint] Altmann de Passau. Celui-ci avait été exulsé de Passau par sa fidélité au pape** et joua probablement un rôle majeur dans la décision de Léopold d'ériger un monastère sur le rocher en dehors de la ville*** qui, une fois complété, vit l'entrée de moines bénédictins du monastère Lambach et leur abbé Sigibold au 21 mars 1089.

Puisque le monastère était une fondation du margraviat, il obtint une exemption en 1122, découpé de l'autorité de l'évêché Passau et directement soumis au Pape.


Après ceci, vous allez peut-être vous attendre à un bâtiment genre le monastère de Vadstène. Que nenni.

Du pur baroque, même si la fondation remonte au Moyen âge. La nouvelle église monastique fut consacrée en 1743. Le Moyen âge existe certes, mais il est couvert du baroque.

Au croisé Babenberg (qui en pleine Troisième croisade s'obfusqua avec Richard de l'Angleterre), on ajoute donc volontiers Jean III Sobieski, le sauveur (avec Eugène de Savoie, encore Empire germanique à l'époque et sous la Sainte Vierge) de Vienne contre les Ottomans.

Dans l'intellect, le baroque veut dire que St. Thomas d'Aquin n'est pas d'abord dilué par la scholastique luthérienne et ensuite dissipé par Schleiermacher, il est au contraire solidifié par Suarez et Bellarmin, sans d'oublier Cajétan.

Dans les sentiments, ça veut dire Sinngedichte par Angelus Silesius, l'humour de Simplicissimus, ou probablement de cette époque, quoique placé dans le Moyen âge, Till Eulenspiegel (très différent de Till l'Espiègle de Coster !) — pardon, l'humour de Till Eulenspiegel vient en effet de la Renaissance, première édition eu début du XVIe siècle et seconde édition de 1515, et la musique de ... la période rococo /Biedermeier. Tout ce qui se trouve à partir de Haydn et jusqu'à Schubert, c'est bon à écouter, comme un vin de l'année dans le Heurig est bon à boire.

Pour moi, Autriche a beaucoup plus de rationnalité que la Suède, hélas pas exactement tolérant vis-à-vis la marginalité. Si je voudrais retourner en Autriche, il vaudrait mieux que j'eusse d'abord une réussite solide.

* Autriche dans le sens médiéval, c'est Vienne, Basse-Autriche, Haute-Autriche, juste trois des neuf pays de l'Autriche actuelle.
** Époque quand la papauté était parfois persécutée ! Si Innocent III (regna 1198 à 1216) était le plus puissant des papes, par rapport au pouvoir séculier, son prédécesseur quelques décennies avant, Innocent II (regna 1130 à 1143) était peut-être le moins puissant, il était persécuté. Certains évoquent qu'il avait forcé l'Empereur à faire pénitence à Canosse, selon ce que j'ai lu, c'est plus vraisemblable que la pénitence hypocrite de l'Empereur força le pape à abandonner sa seule arme contre le malfaiteur.

Le Moyen Âge en Allemagne, Scandinavie et les Îles Britanniques ...


Le Moyen Âge en Allemagne, Scandinavie et les Îles Britanniques ... · Est-ce vrai pour les Allemagnes du Sud aussi ?

Ou plus précisément sa survivance après la fin du XVe siècle.

La question était posé dans quora suécophone.

Je n'y ai pas ajouté encore une réponse, je vais plutôt ici faire fructifier les réponses déjà données :

Johan Molin considère que pas mal de la culture médiévale était liée au Catholicisme, et qu'elle a donc été éradiquée pendant la Réforme.

Urban Jarvid considère que la vivacité intellectuelle baissa considérablement à la Réforme, parce qu'on dépensait tellement d'énergie sur le maintien de celle-ci par une répression intense. D'où un frein considérable à l'évolution culturelle et intellectuelle. Pas totale, bien entendu.

Je dirais qu'en effet, intellectuellement en 1600, la vie intellectuelle était plus pauvre dans ces pays (surtout en Scandinavie), parce qu'on avait perdu pas mal de culture spirituelle (les Révélations de Sainte Brigitte et la dévotion brigittine, par exemple) par la Réforme, et on avait eu moins de loisir d'importer des nouveautés des pays comme Espagne ou Italie, à part des choses purement extérieurs.

En certains cas, des chateaux commencés à la fin du Moyen âge n'avaient pas eu d'occasion d'être rebâtis ... ça dit, ces pays ont leur portion de l'architecture de la Renaissance, notamment une Renaissance à la mode des Pays Bas (les parties historiques de Malmö, par exemple).

Entre le milieu du XIIIe siècle et 1346, ceci était un château royal, en 1346, avec une toiture baissé par rapport d'avant, ceci était le monastère de Vadstène :

Et à partir de la Réforme, pas d'ambitions à moderniser un monastère. Ni pendant les décennies qu'il restait en cette fonction, ni après, quand par exemple à partir de la Guerre de Trente Ans, ce bâtiment servait aux Invalides ... passons au chateau de la capitale, du Moyen âge et de la Renaissance :

Tre Kronor / Les Trois Couronnes, vu de Slottsbacken, peinture par Govert Camphuysen, en 1661 ... [domaine public]


Notons, ceci a été brûlé en 1697, le 7 mai. Je note que les incendie historiques de Stockholm commencent en 1625, après le Moyen âge. En Örebro on a eu deux incendies le Moyen âge, la première peut-être en 1369 et involontaire, peut-être plutôt déjà en 1364 et alors perpétré par Albert II de Mecklembourg. Celle de 1380 était dans la résistance nationale contre le pouvoir d'Albert de Suède (Albert III de Mecklembourg).

La survie du Moyen âge dans les pays du Nord a été inégale, la culture matérielle a été mieux préservé à son état médiévale que dans pas mal de pays sur le continent, mais si on veut les promesses de Notre Seigneur à Sainte Brigitte, la plupart du temps, depuis la Réforme, on les cherche plutôt en Espagne ou Autriche qu'en Suède.

Si on aime l'architecture médiévale et se contente des bribes de la spiritualité médiévale données de temps en temps par les curés luthériens, on peu très bien s'intégrer en Suède. C'est très chic. Si par contre on cherche un peu de cohérence, intellectuelle, spirituelle, dévotions et hagiographies dans la perspective catholique (difficile de comprendre les visions de Ste Brigitte pour quelqu'un qui nie le Purgatoire !), il vaut mieux s'exiler, plus ou moins, d'un exile interne, ou, dans mon cas, d'un exile externe, je me trouve à Paris.

PS, in case you wondered, no I don't think the lower median lifespan for these married women is due to overmuch childbearing.

In Paris in May 1403, it was agreed that Margaret would marry the new Dauphin of France, Duke Louis of Guyenne.[1] A double marriage took place at the end of August 1404,[4] as part of Philip the Bold's efforts to maintain a close relationship with France by ensuring that the next Queen of France would be his granddaughter.[1] ... Per Philip's instructions, Pot told Margaret that, still being a fairly young widow, she ought to marry and have children soon, more so because Philip himself was now a childless widower.

At the age of seventeen Marguerite was married to Charles IV of Alençon, aged twenty, by the decree of King Louis XII (who also arranged the marriage of his ten-year-old daughter, Claude, to Francis). With this decree, Marguerite was forced to marry a generally kind but practically illiterate man for political expediency—"the radiant young princess of the violet-blue eyes... had become the bride of a laggard and a dolt". She had been bartered to save the royal pride of Louis, by keeping the County of Armagnac in the family. There were no offspring from this marriage.
