Question: The "Directa" decretal was written by Pope Siricius in February AD 385, it took the form of a long letter to Spanish bishop Himerius of Tarragona replying to the bishop’s requests for "directa" on various subjects sent several months earlier to which Pope of the Catholic Church from October 366 to his death in 384? 
Context: Mexican Catholic Apostolic Church Spanish: "Iglesia Católica Apostólica Mexicana" (ICAM) was a church founded in 1925 to bolster revolution and machinate a schism from the Catholic Church in Mexico with the support of the Regional Confederation of Mexican Workers (CROM) and Mexican President Plutarco Elías Calles' approval.  President Álvaro Obregón and his successor Calles, as well as other politicians, wanted the revolutionary government to restrict and terminate the Catholic Church in Mexico.  In February 1925, armed intruders calling themselves "Knights of the Order of Guadeloupe" occupied the church of María de la Soledad in Mexico City where , a Freemason and former Catholic priest, proclaimed himself the future patriarch of a new national church; parishioners attacked the interlopers and rioted the next day; similar riots were incited when other churches in Mexico were occupied by armed intruders that month.  These armed intruders occupying churches induced fear of anti-Catholic persecution that led to the formation of the National League for the Defense of Religious Liberty (LNDLR) a militant Catholic defense organization.  Official favoritism of a national church enraged revolutionaries who saw this as a "violation of state "laicidad "" with potential to faction the revolution, so Calles stopped his support of after about 3 months.  Nevertheless, the government failed in 1925 to orchestrate Pérez's consecration by a visiting Eastern Orthodox bishop, but in 1926, North American Old Roman Catholic Church Bishop Carmel Henry Carfora consecrated Pérez, Antonio Benicio López Sierra, and Macario López Valdez as bishops.  In 1927, López Sierra established an church in San Antonio, Texas, where Archbishop Arthur Jerome Drossaerts, of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Antonio, called the "cismáticos " (Spanish for schismatics) "designing proselytizers of the sects supported by Calles and the Mexican government, that archenemy of all Christianity;" and in 1929, López Valdes established an church in Los Angeles, California.  Pérez moved his cathedra to San Antonio in March 1930 but in April 1931, Pérez returned to Mexico City. The Diocese of Rome (Latin: "Dioecesis Urbis seu Romana" , Italian: "Diocesi di Roma" ) is a diocese of the Catholic Church in Rome.  The Bishop of Rome is the Pope, the Supreme Pontiff and head of the Catholic Church.  As the Holy See, the papacy is a sovereign entity with diplomatic relations, and civil jurisdiction over the Vatican City State located geographically within Rome.  The Diocese of Rome is the metropolitan diocese of the Province of Rome, an ecclesiastical province in Italy.  The Catholic Church teaches that the first Bishop of Rome was Saint Peter in the first century.  The incumbent since 13 March 2013 is Pope Francis. Pope Saint Damasus I ( ; c. 305 – 11 December 384) was Pope of the Catholic Church from October 366 to his death in 384.  He presided over the Council of Rome of 382 that determined the canon or official list of Sacred Scripture.  He spoke out against major heresies in the church (including Apollinarianism and Macedonianism) and encouraged production of the Vulgate Bible.  He is recognized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church; his feast day is December 11. The Catholic Church's position on capital punishment has varied throughout the centuries following the Church's establishment, evolving from somewhat supportive to largely apathetic to mostly anti-capital punishment.  In more recent times, the Catholic Church has generally moved away from any explicit condoning or approval of capital punishment and has instead increasingly adopted a more disapproving stance on the issue.  Modern Church figures such as Pope John Paul II, Pope Francis, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops have in fact actively discouraged the death penalty or advocated for the out-right abolition of the death penalty.  Historically, the teaching of the Catholic Church used to categorize capital punishment as a form of "lawful slaying", a view defended by theological authorities such as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas.  Augustine felt that the death penalty was a means of deterring the wicked and protecting the innocent.  In the Middle Ages, Thomas Aquinas reaffirmed this position.  (See also Aquinas on the death penalty).  However, after the Second Vatican Council the Catholic Church has been staunchly opposed to the death penalty. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Kalookan (Lat: "Dioecesis Kalookanus") is a Roman Rite diocese of the Latin Church of the Catholic Church in the Philippines.  The diocese was erected in 2003 from the Archdiocese of Manila.  The diocese comprises Caloocan City-South, Malabon City, and Navotas City.  Appointed as first bishop was Most Rev. Deogracias S. Iñiguez, D.D. then Bishop of Iba, Zambales.  His early resignation due to his deteriorating health was approved by Pope Benedict XVI on January 25, 2013.  Upon Bishop Iñiguez's resignation, Francisco M. De Leon, D.D., then Coadjutor Bishop of Antipolo was appointed Apostolic Administrator of the diocese, until a diocesan bishop was appointed by the Pope. The "Directa" decretal was written by Pope Siricius in February AD 385.  It took the form of a long letter to Spanish bishop Himerius of Tarragona replying to the bishop’s requests for "directa" on various subjects sent several months earlier to Pope Damasus I.  It became the first of a series of documents published by the Magisterium that claimed apostolic origin for clerical celibacy and reminded ministers of the altar of the perpetual continence required of them. The Decretum Gelasianum or the Gelasian Decree is so named because it was traditionally thought to be a Decretal of the prolific Pope Gelasius I, bishop of Rome 492–496.  It is said that the work was derived from a five-chapter text written by an anonymous scholar between 519 and 553, the second chapter of which is a list of books of Scripture presented as having been made Canonical by a Council of Rome under Pope Damasus I, bishop of Rome 366-383.  The so-called Damasine List, while not actually canonical, represents the same canon as shown in the Council of Carthage Canon 24, 419 AD. Pope Innocent I (Latin: "Innocentius I" ; d. 12 March 417) served as the Pope of the Catholic Church from 401 to his death in 417.  From the beginning of his papacy, he was seen as the general arbitrator of ecclesiastical disputes in both the East and the West.  He confirmed the prerogatives of the Archbishop of Thessalonica, and issued a decretal on disciplinary matters referred to him by the Bishop of Rouen.  He defended the exiled John Chrysostom and consulted with the bishops of Africa concerning the Pelagian controversy, confirming the decisions of the African synods.  Johann Peter Kirsch described Innocent as a very energetic and highly gifted individual, "...who fulfilled admirably the duties of his office". Rhoda Wise (22 Feb 1888 – 7 July 1948) was a U.S. stigmatist from Canton, Ohio (originally the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland and now part of the Diocese of Youngstown).  Her biography, "Her Name Means Rose", was published by EWTN.  Rhoda Wise has been associated with many miraculous healings, including the healing of Mother Angelica.  The Roman Catholic Church investigated Wise, but made no official decision concerning her experiences .  The Rhoda Wise Shrine, which includes her house- which once belonged to EWTN, which Mother Angelica founded and ran- is a private association of the faithful (website: http://rhodawise.com), that has been approved by the present incumbent Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown, Bishop George V. Murry.  As of September 2016, the Diocese is launching the local investigation into a potential cause for beatification and canonization, and so all her visions and writings and activities will be re-examined thoroughly.  If the diocesan process concludes she lived an exemplary life, the case for the cause will go to the Vatican, and with their approval, she will be given the title "Servant of God".  If the Holy See says she lived an admirable life, she will then also be called "Venerable".  Since she is not a martyr, unless the Pope grants some form of exemption, two miracles would then be needed: one for her beatification (being called "Blessed"), and then one for her canonization (sainthood) that must be verified after her beatification (though it can occur before beatification, as long as it occurred after the first miracle happened).  St. Peter Catholic Church, in Canton, Ohio, will host the Mass opening the diocesan investigation into Rhoda Wise’s cause for beatification and canonization.  Monsignor Robert Siffrin, the Vicar General of the Youngstown Catholic Diocese, will celebrate the Mass on Friday, October 7, 2016, at 7:00 PM. Pope Siricius (334 – 26 November 399) was the Pope from December 384 to his death in 399.  He was successor to Pope Damasus I and was himself succeeded by Pope Anastasius I.
