God reveals himself to humanity. Divine revelation comes through sacred scripture, which includes the Old and New Testaments, as well as sacred tradition passed down by the Apostles. The Bible contains various genres of inspired writings that were determined to be canon by early Church councils. While some texts were rejected as heretical or lacking a connection to the Apostles, the canon as defined by the Catholic Church has been consistently taught for over 1600 years.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Revelation
We are made to KNOW, Love, and Serve God.
We can KNOW God only because he REVEALS Himself.
God reveals all the Truths necessary for our salvation.
3. Dei Verbum (1965)
The holy synod
professes that “God,
the first principle and
last end of all things,
can be known with
certainty from the
created world, by the
natural light of human
reason.”
4. Faith: Our Response to Revelation
“The obedience of
faith” must be our
response to God who
reveals. By faith one
freely commits
oneself entirely to
God, making “the full
submission of the
intellect and will to
God who reveals.”
5. Scripture & Tradition
Sacred Scripture is the Word
of God written under the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
Sacred Tradition is the Divine
Truth preserved and transmitted
through Apostolic teaching.
6. Holy Scripture
“For whatever was
written previously was
written for our
instruction, that by
endurance and by the
encouragement of the
scriptures we might
have hope.”
--Romans 15:4
7. Dei Verbum
“Christ the Lord, in whom the
entire revelation of the most high
God is summed up, having
fulfilled in his own person and
promulgated with his own lips
the Gospel promised
beforehand by the prophets,
commanded the apostles to
preach it to everyone as the
source of all saving truth and
moral law, communicating God’s
gifts to them.”
8. What IS the Bible?
The inspired Word of
God.
God’s Revelation
Old & New Testament
46 Books of the Old
Testament Canon.
27 Books of the New
Testament Canon.
Various genres of
writing
9. Divino Afflante Spiritu (1943)
“Inspired by the Divine Spirit,
the Sacred Writers
composed those books,
which God, in His paternal
charity towards the human
race, deigned to bestow on
them in order ‘to teach, to
reprove, to correct, to instruct
in justice: that the man of
God may be perfect,
furnished to every good
work’.”
10. What the Bible is NOT
Documentary Journalism
A Science Textbook
Financial Planning Advice
A Political Party Platform
A Secret Code
A Calendar of Future Events
A Book of Magic Spells
11. Tradition precedes the Bible
Where does the Bible
come from?
Who determined which
texts were canonical?
By what authority?
By what criteria?
One
Holy
Catholic
Apostolic
12. Canonical Scripture
The Councils of Hippo,
393 A.D., and Carthage,
397 A.D. gave us the
canon of Sacred Scripture
as we know it today.
By the end of the 4th
century these books were
universally accepted by
the Church.
13. The Protestant “Reform” Bible
The 16th-century Protestant reformers
accepted only 39 of the books in the Old
Testament (only those found in the Hebrew
Canon).
Seven books from the Septuagint (Greek
canon of Alexandrian Jews) they rejected
on doctrinal grounds, and call “apocryphal.”
The Protestants rejected books that were
known to and used by the Apostles, and
that had been part of the Christian Bible for
more than a thousand years.
14. Luther’s Errors
In translating the Bible into German, Martin
Luther removed those books from the canon
that lent support to orthodox doctrine.
He also questioned the canonicity of four
New Testament books: Hebrews, James,
Jude, Revelation.
“I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those
who create dissensions and obstacles, in
opposition to the teaching that you learned;
avoid them.”
Romans 16:17
15. Authenticity of the Septuagint
The large majority of Old
Testament references in
the New Testament are
taken from the Greek
Septuagint.
The Dead Sea Scrolls,
(discovered in 1947)
contained fragments of
several deuterocanonical
texts in Hebrew or Aramaic.
17. The Latin Vulgate
In the 4th century, St. Jerome
translated the Greek and Hebrew
texts of Scripture into Latin.
By the Middle Ages, the Biblia
Sacra Vulgata had become the
definitive edition of the Bible
throughout Christendom.
18. Biblia Sacra Vulgata
It was for hundreds of
years the only Bible in
use in Europe.
It was the first book
printed by a movable
type press, the so-called
“Gutenberg” or “Mazarin”
Bible (c.1455).
19. The Dogmatic Canon
In response to the
Reformation the Catholic
canon was solemnly defined
and made dogmatic by the
Council of Trent in 1546.
The council reaffirmed the
canon that had been in use
in all Christendom since the
4th Century.
20. “Lost” or “Secret” Gospels?
Was Jesus really
married to Mary
Magdalene? Did the
Catholic Church
suppress various
secret Gospels that
“tell the real truth”
about Jesus and the
early Church?
21. Judas sells! 30 pieces of silver?
period (2nd to 4th centuries).
Many contain heretical
claims, or ideas contrary to
the truth of Holy Scripture.
These texts were not “lost”
or “secret,” but known to
the early church.
They lack a direct
connection to the Apostles.
They originate from a later
The Media promote these “gospels” to
sow doubt about canonical scripture:
“Parishioners at morning Mass at St.
John Chrysostom church in West
Roxbury were buzzing yesterday over
news reports about the release of the
Gospel of Judas, which some scholars
suggest could revolutionize people's
understanding of early Christianity.”
Boston Globe. 4/6/06
22. Old Testament
God’s Revelation to His
chosen people.
The Sacred books of the
Hebrew people.
The Scriptures known,
read, & taught by Jesus.
The Scriptures
FULFILLED by Jesus.
23. The Savior Revealed
“In times past, God spoke in partial
and various ways to our ancestors
through the prophets; in these last
days, he spoke to us through a
son, whom he made heir of all
things and through whom he
created the universe, who is the
refulgence of his glory, the very
imprint of his being, and who
sustains all things by his mighty
word.”
Hebrews 1:1-3.

29. Isaiah, The “Fifth” Evangelist
”Therefore the Lord himself will give you
this sign: the virgin shall be with child,
and bear a son, and shall name him
Immanuel.”
--Isaiah 7:14.
”He was spurned and avoided by men, a
man of suffering, accustomed to
infirmity, One of those from whom men
hide their faces, spurned, and we held
him in no esteem. Yet it was our
infirmities that he bore, our sufferings
that he endured, While we thought of
him as stricken, as one smitten by God
and afflicted. . . .
30. The Suffering Servant prophecy
But he was pierced for our offenses,
crushed for our sins. Upon him was the
chastisement that makes us whole, by
his stripes we were healed. We had all
gone astray like sheep, each following
his own way; But the LORD laid upon
him the guilt of us all. Though he was
harshly treated, he submitted and
opened not his mouth; Like a lamb led
to the slaughter or a sheep before the
shearers, he was silent and opened not
his mouth.
--Isaiah 53:3-7 (c. 586 B.C.)
31. The Prophet Jeremiah
“Before I formed you in the womb I
knew you, before you were born I
dedicated you, a prophet to the
nations I appointed you.”
--Jeremiah 1:5
“I will place my law within them,
and write it upon their hearts; I will
be their God, and they shall be my
people.”
--Jeremiah 31:33
32. He has spoken through the Prophets
Above the firmament over their
heads something like a throne
could be seen, looking like
sapphire. Upon it was seated,
up above, one who had the
appearance of a man.
--Ezekiel, 1:26
But if you would offer me
holocausts, then let justice
surge like water, and goodness
like an unfailing stream.
--Amos, 5:23-24

you created all
things; because of
your will they came
to be and were
created.”
--Revelation 4:11
“One of the elders said to me,
"Do not weep. The lion of the
tribe of Judah, the root of David,
has triumphed, enabling him to
open the scroll with its seven
seals.” –Revelation 5:5
42. Revelation 12:7-8
Then war broke out in
heaven; Michael and
his angels battled
against the dragon.
The dragon and its
angels fought back,
but they did not
prevail and there was
no longer any place
for them in heaven.
43. The Last Judgment
Then I saw thrones; those who
sat on them were entrusted
with judgment. I also saw the
souls of those who had been
beheaded for their witness to
Jesus and for the word of God,
and who had not worshiped
the beast or its image nor had
accepted its mark on their
foreheads or hands. They
came to life and they reigned
with Christ for a thousand
years. – Revelation 20:4
44. Interpreting Sacred Scripture
Sacred Scripture
teaches truth faithfully
without error.
Every part must be read
in light of the whole.
The Old Testament
should be read in light
of the New Testament.
45. Interpreting Sacred Scripture
No Sola Scriptura
Not a strictly literal
interpretation.
Historical & Critical
methods guided by
theological meaning.
46. A Catholic Interpretation
We understand Scripture by
reading with the whole church.
“If you want to understand the
Scripture in the spirit in which it
is written, you have to attend to
the content and to the unity of
Scripture as a whole . . . taking
account of the living tradition of
the whole Church and of the
analogy of faith.”
Pope Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth, Volume
I
47. “Fundamentalism”
“eliminates from Christianity the church as the
Lord Jesus founded it. That church is a
community of faith, worldwide, with pastoral and
teaching authority.”
“tends to interpret the Bible as being always
without error or as literally true in a way quite
different from the Catholic Church's teaching on
the inerrancy of the Bible . . . . inerrancy extends
even to scientific and historical matters.
“The Bible is presented without regard for its
historical context and development.”
--U.S. Catholic Bishops: PASTORAL STATEMENT FOR
CATHOLICS ON BIBLICAL FUNDAMENTALISM 1987.
48. “Fundamentalism”
“really distorts the challenge of
Jesus Christ. It provides an
absolute certainty based on a
belief that every word in the Bible
really has been dictated by God
and one needs only hold to the
literal meaning.”
“It does not recognize that every
word in the Bible, even though
inspired by God, has been written
by human beings who had
limitations.”
The Fundamentalist Challenge
Raymond E. Brown, S.S.
49. The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church
(Pontifical Biblical Commission, 1993)
“The basic problem with
fundamentalist
interpretation of this kind
is that, refusing to take
into account the historical
character of biblical
revelation, it makes itself
incapable of accepting
the full truth of the
incarnation itself.”
50. The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church
(Pontifical Biblical Commission, 1993)
“Fundamentalism likewise tends
to adopt very narrow points of
view. It accepts the literal
reality of an ancient, out-of-date
cosmology simply because it is
found expressed in the Bible;
This blocks any dialogue with a
broader way of seeing the
relationship between culture
and faith.”
51. Interpreting Sacred Scripture
The Church will not err in
interpreting Scripture.
Catholics are bound to
submit to the authority of the
Church in seeking the
meaning of any part of
Scripture
Analogy of Faith – The unity
& Harmony of all the truths of
faith among themselves.
53. Exegesis: Four Senses
Literal sense
Allegorical sense
Events in Light of Christ
Moral sense
Lessons for virtue
Anagogical Sense
Spiritual meaning; Mystery of
salvation; our eternal
destiny.
54. Sacred Tradition
Apostolic teaching not written down in Scripture.
Passed down by the Apostles.
Developed through prayer & scholarship by each
generation.
55. Deposit of Faith
The Sacred Deposit of
Revelation is to be found
in God’s Word as it is
written in Sacred Scripture
And, guarded and
authentically interpreted
by the apostles and their
successors.
56. Sacred Tradition
Tradition is guided by
Scripture and depends
on Scripture.
The Church faithfully
guards the deposit of
faith and keeps it free
from error.
The Church seeks to
deepen her
understanding of this
deposit of faith.
57. Tradition in Scripture
The Teaching Authority of the Apostles
“Whoever listens to you listens to
me..” --Luke 10:16
“Now Jesus did many other signs in
the presence of (his) disciples that
are not written in this book.”--John
20:30
“He [Peter] testified with many other
arguments” – Acts 2:40
“the crowds paid attention to what
was said by Philip when they heard
it and saw the signs he was
doing.”--Acts 8:6
58. Tradition in Scripture
The Teaching Authority of the Apostles
“For a whole year they [Barnabas &
Paul] met with the church and taught
a large number of people.”--Acts 11:26
“He [Paul] entered the synagogue,
and for three months debated boldly
with persuasive arguments about the
kingdom of God.”--Acts 19:8
“From early morning until evening,
he [Paul] expounded his position to
them, bearing witness to the
kingdom of God.”--Acts 28:23
59. The Catechism
& the Second Vatican Council
“. . . to guard and present
better the precious deposit of
Christian doctrine in order to
make it more accessible to the
Christian faithful and to all
people of good will. For this
reason the Council was not first
of all to condemn the errors of
the time, but above all to strive
calmly to show the strength
and beauty of the doctrine of
the faith.”
