Santa Maria Della Speranza
The church of Santa Maria della Speranza is a church in Rome, in Nuovo Salario district, in Piazza A. Fradeletto. The laying of the sacred stone of the building took place in 1988; the construction work was completed in 1995, and on December 10 of that year the new church was consecrated by Cardinal Vicar Camillo Ruini. The church is the home of the parish, established in 1968 by decree of the Cardinal Vicar Angelo Dell'Acqua ''Neminem fugit'', and entrusted to the Salesians: before the construction of the new church, parish activities were taking place in the neighboring Salesian Pontifical University. It deserves to be mentioned this curious fact: in 1970 Pope Paul VI visited the parish; in his speech greeted Cardinal Karol Wojtyla (the future Pope John Paul II) present among the bystanders; and in turn, the Pope was welcomed by the then professor of nearby Salesian University, the future Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone. John Paul II visited the church again in 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Roman Rite
The Roman Rite ( la, Ritus Romanus) is the primary liturgical rite of the Latin Church, the largest of the ''sui iuris'' particular churches that comprise the Catholic Church. It developed in the Latin language in the city of Rome and, while distinct Latin liturgical rites such as the Ambrosian Rite remain, the Roman Rite has gradually been adopted almost everywhere in the Latin Church. In medieval times there were numerous local variants, even if all of them did not amount to distinct rites, yet uniformity increased as a result of the invention of printing and in obedience to the decrees of the Council of Trent of 1545–63 (see ''Quo primum''). Several Latin liturgical rites that survived into the 20th century were abandoned voluntarily after the Second Vatican Council. The Roman Rite is now the most widespread liturgical rite not only in the Catholic Church but in Christianity as a whole. The Roman Rite has been adapted through the centuries and the history of its Eucharistic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Óscar Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga
Oscar or Oskar is a masculine given name of Irish origin. Etymology The name is derived from two elements in Irish: the first, ''os'', means "deer"; the second element, ''car'', means "loving" or "friend", thus "deer-loving one" or "friend of deer". The name is borne by a character in Irish mythology—Oscar, grandson of Fionn Mac Cumhaill, and refers to his descent from his grandmother, Sadhbh, who was enchanted into the form of a deer. The name was popularised in the 18th century by Scottish poet James Macpherson, creator of 'Ossianic poetry'. Today the name is associated with Scandinavia because Napoleon was an admirer of Macpherson's work and gave the name to his godson, Joseph Bernadotte, who later became Oscar I, King of Sweden. Consequently, at the time many Swedes were named Oscar. The name was given to more than a half-dozen members of Scandinavian royal houses. Oscar was the third most popular name for males born in Sweden in 2013 and is ranked 51 in terms of the most pop ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
