/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On Wednesday 2010, His Holiness Aram I and H.E.
Cardinal Walter Kasper, President of the Pontifical Council for
Promoting Christian Unity, held a private meeting within the context
of the meeting of the International Joint Commission for Theological
Dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Oriental Orthodox
Churches.
Among other issues, they discussed the contribution of bilateral
theological dialogues to ecumenical relations.
The meeting will be concluded on Sunday 31 January with the Holy
Liturgy at St. Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral where the Cardinal
will preach.
AAC Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia is an administratively
independent Catholicosate of the Armenian Apostolic Curch (AAC). The
AAC eparchies in Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus, Iran and United States are
under its jurisdiction.
During World War I (1915-1918), one and a half million Armenians were
massacred by the Turks. In 1921, when the French forces evacuated
Cilicia, a second wave of massacres ordered by Kemalist Turkey took
the lives of another three hundred thousand Armenians. The rest of the
Armenians were forced to leave their homeland and found refuge mostly
in Syria and Lebanon. The Catholicosate in Sis was robbed and ruined
by the Turks. Catholicos Sahak II followed his flock in exile.
After wandering in Syria and Lebanon, in 1930, he established the
Catholicosate in Antelias, Lebanon. Thus, a new era opened in the
history of the Catholicosate with the organization of Dioceses and the
founding of a new theological seminary. The Armenian people spread all
over the world looked at the Catholicosate with new hopes and
expectations.
Catholicism is a broad term for the body of the Catholic faith, its
theologies and doctrines, its liturgical, ethical, spiritual, and
behavioral characteristics, as well as a religious people as a whole.
Although for many the term usually refers to Christians and churches
belonging to the Catholic Church in communion with the Holy See, for
others it refers to continuity "back to the earliest churches", as
claimed even by churches in dispute with one another over doctrine and
practice such as the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church,
Oriental Orthodoxy, the Assyrian Church of the East, the Old Catholic
Church and the Anglican Communion. The claim of continuity may be
based on Apostolic Succession, especially in conjunction with
adherence to the Nicene Creed. In this sense of indicating historical
continuity, the term "catholicism" is at times employed to mark a
contrast to Protestantism, which tends to look instead to the Bible as
interpreted by the 16th-century Protestant Reformation as its ultimate
standard.
