Question 2: What does the godfather mean? Generally, it has two meanings: ① The general name of authoritative theologians in ancient Christianity. English is a church priest. Later generations are classified according to the period when theologians lived, or the language they used, or according to their theological views and works, such as The Late Apostolic Fathers and The Father of Nicea. Greek godfather, Latin godfather; Patriarch godfather, philosophy godfather, etc. (2) together with the godmother, as a guarantor of baptized children in Christian etiquette. English is the father of God. Godfather (or godmother) can affirm the faith of the baptized person and educate children instead of incompetent parents. Godfather godmother system originated from a custom, that is, adults who are baptized should be accompanied by believers known by the bishop and vouch for them. The church has different requirements for godfathers and godmothers. Some only require a godfather or godmother, while others require a godfather and godmother.
The film The Godfather is based on the American writer Mario? Adapted from Pu Zuo's novel of the same name, it is a classic gangster film directed by Coppola, a young Hollywood director. The film describes the whole process of the emergence and development of the mafia: immigrants are forced by life, desperate, and strive for a place in American society by smuggling, gambling, drug trafficking and murder. They rely on illegal business to grow and develop gradually, and their influence has penetrated into various fields, and they have their agents in the hub departments of * * *. When they are full-fledged, they are not satisfied with their current illegal status, strive to integrate into the legal society and enjoy wealth without fear. Ironically, however, their transition from an illegal society to a legal society was accomplished through illegal violence. The profound meaning of this film lies in that it opens up a broad prospect for a classic type with a long history in American film history-crime movies. It not only expands the performance field of crime films, but also goes far beyond the scope of violence, and sublimates the theme into the deep meaning of the most common power alternation in human society-the relationship between power and sin. This film was a sensation in the early 1970s, and it was a success in both business and critical circles. Brando-driven "Malone? Brando fever almost swept the world like a whirlwind, and director Coppola has since established the status of "godfather" in Hollywood.
Question 3: Western children generally have Christian names for godfathers and godmothers. Generally, it has two meanings: ① The general name of authoritative theologians in ancient Christianity. English refers to the descendants of church fathers according to the period when theologians lived, or the language they used, or according to theological views and works, such as the godfather of the late apostle and the godfather of Nicea; Greek godfather, Latin godfather; Patriarch godfather, philosophy godfather, etc. (2) together with the godmother, as a guarantor of baptized children in Christian etiquette. English is the father of God. Godfather (or godmother) can affirm the faith of the baptized person and educate children instead of incompetent parents. Godfather godmother system originated from a custom, that is, adults who are baptized should be accompanied by believers known by the bishop and vouch for them. The church has different requirements for godfathers and godmothers. Some only require a godfather or godmother, while others require a godfather and godmother.
Ps: Generally speaking, everyone is on a first-name basis.
Question 4: What exactly does the word "godfather" mean? We often see some non-Christian newspapers, magazines and periodicals using the word "godfather". Generally speaking, they are not teaching those who think of the godfather. They often look for meaning in their own words, or spread it from one mistake to another, so as to confuse the original meaning of this term. The word' godfather' can be temporarily extended to' father of the church'. The word father, in a narrow sense, is a person who gives birth to children, but in a broad sense, it has the meaning of ancestors, sources, roots and primitive people. In Chinese, fathers are rarely used to describe ancestors or origins, but in western languages, this usage is very common. There is often a saying in the west called' the father of our faith'. In fact, the father mentioned here refers to the ancestors. There is also a saying that' the father of the country' or' the father of the country'. Father here refers to the founder, which is what China people call the' father of the country'. In a narrow sense, a father is not only a person who gives birth to children, but also an elder who nurtures and cultivates children, passes on wisdom to children and makes them mature. Dou Fuyin, chapter 23, verses 8 to 1 1, Jesus said, "As for you, don't be called a rabbi, because you only have one teacher, and you are all brothers; And do not be called your father on earth, for your father is only one, that is, the father in heaven. You should not be called mentors, because there is only one mentor, and that is Mercia. The oldest of you should be your servant. " Although Jesus advised his disciples not to be called fathers, the church still widely respected the writers of the early century church as godfathers. The apostles of St. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 4: 15, "Although you have tens of thousands of teachers in Christ, there are not many fathers, because I gave birth to you through the gospel in Christ Jesus." Saint-Irene, Bishop of Lyon, France, also said: "When a person gets instructions from another population, he is called the child of the person who teaches him, and the person who teaches him is called his father."
In the past, when we talked about the life of the monastery in the church, we mentioned the habit of the abbot of the monastery being addressed as father (padre or abate). The reason is that the abbot must take care of the monks in the temple like his father. This habit still exists today. At the beginning of the century, the person in charge of discipline in the church was a bishop, and he also had the right to entrust another person to perform discipline duties. Therefore, bishops are called fathers, and sometimes they are called "dads". Nowadays, in Catholicism, "Dad" is only used to address the Pope. Except for abbots and bishops of monasteries, they are called priests. Slowly, all those who shoulder the transcendental responsibility of teaching and preaching are not necessarily bishops, but can also be called fathers. Today, western countries generally call church clergy' priests', while China people call them' priests' because their duty is to teach and instruct spiritual and spiritual things in ethics and religious beliefs. Whether it is a father or a priest, these two nouns more or less imply the security and trust relationship between the called and the called.
As a father, his most basic mission and task is to carry forward the past and forge ahead. Therefore, he is a man who shoulders the tradition completely. He must pass on the precious and correct things of the past to later generations, and also tell his children the wrong and failed experiences of his predecessors, so as not to let them repeat the same mistakes. After explaining these meanings related to the word' father', we can understand the position of' godfather' in the church.
As we said before, the' godfather' revered by the church is a writer of the early century church. The works of these writers lead us back to the root of our faith' Jesus', because they are closer to Jesus Christ than we are in time. People nowadays attach great importance to seeking roots. Seeking roots is not retrogression, depravity, or nostalgia for the past, but learning from the past and knowing exactly why they live like this and why they believe like this. We all want to know the living state of early Christians' thoughts and beliefs before they are tested and shaped by the times, because from there we can find and find the most primitive ...
Question 5: What is the godfather of westerners? He is a person who baptizes babies or young children and ensures religious education, or a theologian with authority in formulating or expounding doctrines.
Question 6: What is the godfather's duty abroad? Godfather: a writer of the early church
We write church history and talk about church life, and many materials are obtained from precious historical materials left by church authors. Most of these writers are highly respected people, and many of them are bishops, or theologians, historians, thinkers and speakers, such as Osborne, Delduliang, Olkin, Irene, Austin, adana, and others. These people are traditionally called "Padri della Chiesa" by the church. The reason why future generations attach importance to these godfathers is not only because they left valuable historical materials for future generations, but also because they played a decisive role in the Christian faith and church life of future generations. We have pointed out in the past that the spread of the gospel of Christ is not only to pass on the words and deeds written by evangelists about Jesus to future generations, but also to pass on their understanding and experience of the gospel to their descendants of different times, different places, different cultural backgrounds and different ideas, which will inspire them.
There are many godfathers and countless works, and few people can read them thoroughly. Even so, we still have to find out some disciplines that have a profound impact on the belief life of future generations. After all, the study of the godfathers has already become a specialized knowledge called' Patriotia', and we can only stop here, give you a basic concept, and provide an introduction for those who are interested as a wedge for further research.
