For the inhabitants of Planet Earth unde- niably share a common destiny, which means that the human family depends on cooperation for its survival. Pope Francis drew attention to this in the first of his encyclicals Laudato Si’, in which he called for a new dialogue on how mankind can shape the future of the planet: ‘We need a conversation which includes everyone, since the environ- mental challenge we are undergoing, and its human roots, concern and affect us all.” (Laudato Si’, no. 14) That this volume of One World Theology should examine a sus- tainable theology of creation is a reflection of the nature and objective of the series and its focus on missiology and the universal Church. One of the features of the One World Theology series is that it addresses issues from diverse vantage points. Each volume provides authors from different geographical and cultural backgrounds with an oppor- tunity to present their views and thus to contribute to the polyphonic universal Church discourse. In their articles the authors examine the crisis of creation, biblical guidance for an up-to-date view of creation, theological concepts of creation, and the active commitment to creation of the Church in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe. They also highlight the sense of responsibility which must be developed for a careful and sensitive approach to creation, in particular from a Christian perspective. The chapter on ‘Creation in Crisis’ begins with a contribution from Simone Rappel in which the theologian highlights ‘an understanding of nature as creation, with all its religious overtones, that offers a valuable stimulus in our post-modern context with its plurality of potential meanings and interpretations – a stimulus which can inspire ix x Creation Preface xi a crisis-transforming environmental ethos and support a recon- can be characterised by three fields of tension which reconcile struction of our society.’ She points to the fundamental equivalence creation and redemption, immanence and transcendence, and lament of all creatures and to the solidarity of all created beings and goes and praise. Referring to the Letter to the Colossians, he shows that on to demonstrate the extent to which, in the 17th century, the break the world is regarded as God’s creation which is held together in him with the biblical concept of man and the biblical worldview dispensed and is moving towards its fulfilment. The author notes that God is the with man’s concept of ‘sym-pathy’ with and ‘participation’ in creation Creator, he is not part of the world (Gen 1:1). Looking at Jesus, the and replaced it with a drive to dominate creation. She contrasts this New Testament shows that God is ‘not just outside the world, but that attitude with the principle of retinity, in which man is seen as part of he has entered it’. Creation exists in the tension between present the network of creation. and promise.

Moreover, climate change hits becomes more urgent in situations of extreme danger and points out the poor nations hardest, as they have no means of protecting them- that the question of God in the process of cosmogenesis is crucial for selves against environmental crises.

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

  • A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite
    A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite Mass Structures Orientation Language The purpose of this presentation is to prepare you for what will very likely be your first Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). This is officially named “The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” We will try to do that by comparing it to what you already know - the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM). This is officially named “The Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” In “Mass Structures” we will look at differences in form. While the TLM really has only one structure, the NOM has many options. As we shall see, it has so many in fact, that it is virtually impossible for the person in the pew to determine whether the priest actually performs one of the many variations according to the rubrics (rules) for celebrating the NOM. Then, we will briefly examine the two most obvious differences in the performance of the Mass - the orientation of the priest (and people) and the language used. The orientation of the priest in the TLM is towards the altar. In this position, he is facing the same direction as the people, liturgical “east” and, in a traditional church, they are both looking at the tabernacle and/or crucifix in the center of the altar. The language of the TLM is, of course, Latin. It has been Latin since before the year 400. The NOM was written in Latin but is usually performed in the language of the immediate location - the vernacular.

  • On Lav Diaz‟S a Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery
    ―Textual Mobilities: Diaspora, Migration, Transnationalism and Multiculturalism‖ | Lullaby of Diasporic Time: On Lav Diaz‟s A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery Christian Jil R. Benitez Ateneo de Manila University Philippines [email protected] Abstract Lav Diaz is a Filipino independent filmmaker notable as a key figure in the contemporary slow cinema movement. Of his oeuvre, one of the longest is A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery (Filipino: Hele sa Higawang Hapis), a 2016 epic film that runs for 8 hours, orchestrating narratives derived from what are conveniently sung as mythology (i.e., Jose Rizal‘s El filibusterismo and Philippine folklore) and history (i.e., Philippine history and artifacts). The movie competed in the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Alfred Bauer Prize. This success has earned Diaz‘s the spotlight in the Filipino mainstream culture, enabling the film to be distributed to and showcased in mainstream platforms, albeit primarily garnering attention from the Filipino audience for its runtime and international attention. The movement of the film, as a text, from the local Philippines toward the international and returning home, incurs in it a textuality that disrupts the phenomenology of time diasporically, scatteringly: that as much as its 8-hour languor ―opens new perspective in the cinematic arts‖ according to the international rendition of this time, it is also the 8-hour whose value in the Philippine time is that of a day‘s labor, and thus the exoticization of its cinematic experience as a ―challenge,‖ having to endure an entire working day of slow cinematography. This diaspora of time is of no cacophony; on the contrary, it is the lullaby, sorrowful and mysterious, that finally slows Diaz in to become a filmmaker attuned to both the spaces of the local and the international.

  • The Attractiveness of the Tridentine Mass by Alfons Cardinal Stickler
    The Attractiveness of the Tridentine Mass by Alfons Cardinal Stickler Cardinal Alfons Stickler, retired prefect of the Vatican Archives and Library, is normally reticent. Not so during his trip to the New York area in May [1995]. Speaking at a conference co-sponsored by Fr. John Perricon's ChistiFideles and Howard Walsh's Keep the Faith, the Cardinal scored Catholics within the fold who have undermined the Church—and in the final third of his speech made clear his view that the "Mass of the post-Conciliar liturgical commission" was a betrayal of the Council fathers. The robust 84-year-old Austrian scholar, a Salesian who served as peritus to four Vatican II commissions (including Liturgy), will celebrate his 60th anniversary as a priest in 1997. Among his many achievements: The Case for Clerical Celibacy (Ignatius Press), which documents that the celibate priesthood was mandated from the earliest days of the Church. Cardinal Stickler lives at the Vatican. The Tridentine Mass means the rite of the Mass which was fixed by Pope Pius V at the request of the Council of Trent and promulgated on December 5, 1570. This Missal contains the old Roman rite, from which various additions and alterations were removed. When it was promulgated, other rites were retained that had existed for at least 200 years. Therefore, is more correct to call this Missal the liturgy of Pope Pius V. Faith and Liturgy From the very beginning of the Church, faith and liturgy have been intimately connected. A clear proof of this can be found in the Council of Trent itself.

Effective September 14, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI loosened the restrictions on the use of the 1962 Missal, such that the special permission of the bishop is no longer required. This action was taken because, as universal shepherd, His Holiness has a heart for the unity of the Church, and sees the option of allowing a more generous use of the Mass of 1962 as a way to foster that unity and heal any breaches that may have occurred after Vatican II.

  • Panel 6. the Evolving Defence Systems at the International Tribunals
    DEFDO-150305-1_U_EN PANEL 6. THE EVOLVING DEFENCE SYSTEMS AT THE INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNALS SPEECH BY FRANÇOIS ROUX, HEAD OF DEFENCE OFFICE AT THE SPECIAL TRIBUNAL FOR LEBANON Allow me to begin my speech with a thought for the late Laity Kama: we are all aware of the exceptional contribution he made to this Tribunal in his role as President. His death came as a shock to us, the only equivalent being the shock we felt following the sudden death of another great President, the President of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Antonio Cassese. I find it comforting to think that they are both together in Heaven, drafting the Last Judgment. I also include in my thoughts all those who have been associated with this Tribunal over the past twenty years and who have since died, with a special mention for the former President of the Kigali Bar, Jean Haguma, who was my co-Counsel in the case of Joseph Nzabirinda, in which we pleaded guilty. I also welcome the presence of my former and loyal investigator, Philippe Bimenymanya. For the old-timers here, if you remember, Philippe is the survivor, the miracle man who survived the accident involving a Kenya Airways aircraft which crashed into the sea shortly after taking off from Abidjan where Philippe was on assignment for the Bagilishema defence team. When the ICTR was first set up, the Defence did not exist as a separate institution, we were “managed” by the Registry. As President Mose said, the Defence was therefore not part of the Coordination Committee, for example, which was set up to rationalise proceedings, nor was it part of any other structure within the Tribunal.

  • Reliving the Music in the Journeys of Nuestra Señora De La Paz Y Buen Viaje: Antipolo Baroque to Twentieth-Century Manila Ma
    Reliving the Music in the Journeys of Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje: Antipolo Baroque to Twentieth-century Manila Ma. Patricia Brillantes-Silvestre Eres mi Madre, plácida Maria; Tú mi vida serás, mi fortaleza; Tú en este fiero mar serás mi guia. -Jose Rizal A la Virgen María, 1880 The Philippine rites of Mary are many and varied, each with its own unique character and homegrown tradition. These range from solemn novena to ecstatic procession, quaint poem-and-flower offering to lilting song and dance, arduous pilgrimage to carefree fiesta. These may take place on land or river, country shrine or city basilica, small community inroad or wide, expansive boulevard. But all are marked by a massive outpouring of affection and tenderness. The cult of Mary in the Philippines has grown from simple folk expression in early times to an imposing display of organized faith in the colonial era, backed by the Church itself and the cabildo or city government (Summers 1998 204), and in more recent times, propped up by a network of wealthy patrons, schools, commercial establishments, and an assortment of civic, artistic and religious organizations. For a people who call themselves in a Marian hymn, “un pueblo amante de María” (a people who love Mary), and who address Mary as “Mama” in such familial terms, these rites represent distinct personal relationships with the Mother of God, hence the variety of expression. This paper focuses on Our Lady of Antipolo, one of the most popular and historic shrines in the country. Our Lady of Antipolo Antipolo is a small town southeast of Manila, situated on a foothill of the Sierra Madre mountain range in Luzon.
