We human beings can write our history books and, by emphasis and omission and sometimes by romanticizing, make as if we are mas- ters of our history. It may take only some seventy years for the rewriting of the Communist history of Russia or it prisms may take five hundred years for the European discovery of the Americas to be reevaluated. But it happens. We say that Pope John XXIII made history when he called the Second Vatican Council. We are well aware that the church experienced, through the actions of the bishops present at the council, something that has been likened to a second Pentecost. For our own availability to the God of history, we need to return again and again to the happening of that first Pentecost and the subsequent events as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. God’s Spirit makes things happen, even when the very persons involved seem so little capable of being the crafters of history. Most recently Pope John Paul II has expressed his own desire to make history by his call for a new evangelization, partic- ularly occasioned by our entering into the third millen- nium. This call to a new evangelization holds the promise of another moment of this second Pentecost that came with Vatican II. It is history happening, in which none of us is the master or control-artist, but every one of us plays an important role--with the Spirit’s direction. Evangelization--new evangelization--demands much of us all. A paradigm of evangelization and inculturation captures our attention anew as we reflect upon the events in the Acts of the Apostles. It means that no one can hold himself or herself exempt from the call of this second moment of the second Pentecostqthe call to a new hear- 484 Review for Religious ing of good news. This is not the time for new rules or the impo- sition of old ones--the Judaizers tried that two thousand years ago. It is the time for Cornelius, his wife, and household to invite Peter once again to proclaim the gospel so that new conversion on everyone’s part can take place. It is the time for Peter to dream new dreams and hear God telling him that old restrictions do not apply in a new creation moment. One of the deepest meanings of Pentecost lies in the fact that all peoples heard the good news in a way that they could under- stand and respond to. It goes beyond the language barrier to breakthroughs involving customs, heritages, and rituals. In the Pentecost beginnings, Jesus Christ and the gospel message needed no inculturation. In the new evangelization as in the original one recorded in the Acts of the Apostles, it is not Jesus Christ who needs to be inculturated; he is already a confidant of people’s hearts. It is his church that must be inculturated by being evan- gelized anew as well as by evangelizing others. The Acts of the Apostles--the story of the first evangelizing time--portrays the exhilarating and somber picture that inculturating a church does not come without cost--a cost which everyone must bear in lis- tening to ~hocking good news, in experiencing a certain amount of turmoil, in suffering the pain of differences expressed vigorously by people who serve or are served. John Paul II has said that "we need an evangelization that is new in its ardor, new in its method, new in its expressions." That ’ is what we--always the disciples--must allow to happen to our- selves first: to be evangelized anew in order to be the new evan- gelizers. We need to rethink how to inculturate a church, not a gospel. If the original Jewish and pagan converts to the new Christian faith seemed to share little common religious heritage and ritual and yet, with struggle, came to form the Body of Christ, can we today not recognize the imperative of a new evangelization demanding the same kind of breakthrough for traditionalists, lib- erals, feminists, or whatever modern-day version an appeal to the party of Apollos or Paul takes? A new evangelization brings the excitement of discovery into our own lives and so into our church. Let the Spirit lead. It has happened; it will happen again. David L.

  • Who Are the Secular Franciscans, and What Do They Do?
    Who are the Secular Franciscans, and what do they do? The Secular Franciscan Order is a vocation, a Way of Life approved by the Church, for men and women, married or single, who are called to take an active part in the mission of Christ to bring "the good news of salvation" to the world. Secular Franciscans commit themselves to a life in Christ calling for a positive effort to promote Gospel attitudes among their contemporaries. They are united with each other in communities, through which they develop a sense of direction according to the Gospel spirit of Saint Francis of Assisi. FRANCIS, the saint known and loved the world over, was born at Assisi, central Italy, in the year 1181, the son of a wealthy merchant. He died there in 1226, after a life in Christ that earned him the title Poverelo (little poor man). As a youth, Francis had a series of powerful incidents of conversion, including a vision in which Jesus told him to "rebuild my church, for it is falling into ruin." He found Jesus in the poor and suffering, especially the lepers. He and his followers became visible exemplars of a literal Christian life. In the words of Pope Pius XI, "So lifelike and strikingly did the image of Jesus Christ and the Gospel manner of life shine forth in Francis, that he appeared to his contemporaries almost as though he were the Risen Christ." Saint Francis attained this marvelous ideal by making the holy Gospel, in every detail, the rule and standard of his life.

  • The Rule of St. Benedict and Modern Liberal Authority
    65 THE RULE OF ST. BENEDICT AND MODERN LIBERAL AUTHORITY LINDA ZAGZEBSKI University of Oklahoma Abstract. In this paper I examine the sixth century Rule of St. Benedict, and argue that the authority structure of Benedictine communities as described in that document satisfi es well-known principles of authority defended by Joseph Raz. Th is should lead us to doubt the common assumption that pre-modern models of authority violate the modern ideal of the autonomy of the self. I suggest that what distinguishes modern liberal authority from Benedictine authority is not the principles that justify it, but rather the fi rst order beliefs for the sake of which authority is sought by the individual, and the degree of trust between the authority and the subject. I. INTRODUCTION One of the ideas embraced by the West during the Enlightenment was the idea that the only authority that needs no justifi cation is the authority of the self over the self. Any other kind of authority is derivative. Phi- losophers recognized that we cannot live without political authority, so an important project of the early Enlightenment was to show that the au- thority of the state can ultimately be justifi ed by the authority of the self. Other kinds of authority were permitted to disappear, particularly moral and religious authority, both of which are still commonly dismissed as incompatible with personal autonomy. My purpose in this paper is not to critique modern ideas of autonomy or the self. Instead, I want to re- examine the common assumption that pre-modern models of authority violate the modern ideal of the ultimate authority of the self.

    The First North American Congress on the Carmelite Rule Edited by Michael Mulhall, O. Carm. Institutum Carmelitanum Rome The Province of the Most Pure Heart of Mary Barrington, Illinois 1989 HOW TO READ THE RULE: AN INTERPRETATION Constance FitzGerald, O.CD. I believe I have been asked to give this paper for three reasons. First of all, The Rule of St Albert has influenced my life for thirty-five years, years before and years after Vatican II. For nearly twenty years, before Bede Edwards, Carlo Cicconet­ ti, Joachim Smet or Elias Friedman produced tJ1eir studies, I heard the Rule read in the refectory every Frid'ay. Its words and its spirit are burned into my soul as a part of my identity. Secondly, I bring the reflections and experience of a woman, a Carmelite nun, to this gathering. I come from the oldest Car­ melite community in the United States - a community that has been willing to change and renew precisely because it em­ bodies and cherishes the tradition.! I believe that any genuine An oratory should be constructed in the midst of the cells ... vision for the future has to be rooted in a knowledge and love The Oratory Wadi 'ain es-Siah of the past. Thirdly, I am interested in and convinced of the Mount Carmel need for good hermeneutics, serious interpretation, in dealing with the classic texts of our Carmelite tradition.2 I assume that ! The first community of Carmelite Nuns was founded in 1790 in Port Tobacco, Maryland, The nuns moved to Asquith Street in Baltimore in 1830, They moved in 1873 to Biddle Street and in 1961 to Dulaney Valley.

    JESUITS Juana, S.J.: The Past (and Future?) Status of Women in the Society of Jesus Lisa Fullam 31/5 • NOVEMBER 1999 THE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY The Seminar is composed of a number of Jesuits appointed from their provinc the United States. It concerns itself with topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and prac- tice of Jesuits, especially United States Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces through its publication, STUDIES IN THE SPIRITUALIT JESUITS. This is done in the spirit of Vatican IPs recommendation that religious institutes recapture the original inspiration of their founders and adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar welcomes reactions or comments in regard to the material that it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the United States. The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, and laity, to both men and women. Hence, the journal, while meant especially for American Jesuits, is not exclusively for them. Others who may find it helpful are cordially welcome to make use of it. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR William A. Barry, S.J., directs the tertianship program and is a writer at Cam- pion Renewal Center, Weston, MA (1999). Richard A.

  • Grassroots Roman Catholic Communities in Italy and Ecclesiastical Hierarchies
    Ambiguous Legitimation: Grassroots Roman Catholic Communities in Italy and Ecclesiastical Hierarchies STEFANIA PALMISANO University of Torino Abstract The article deals with the complex and multifaceted relationships arising between the ecclesiastical hierarchy and grassroots Roman Catholic communities, the so-called New Catholic Communities (NCCs), founded in Italy in the wake of the Second Vatican Council and variously inspired by it. Two issues of particular importance in the sociological literature are addressed. The first concerns the criteria with which to construct a typology which can embrace the extreme variety of NCCs in existence today. Adapting a classic distinction drawn by Weber, the paper introduces and discusses a model which distinguishes among communities according to the twofold criteria of ascetic vs. mystical and this-worldly vs. other-worldly. The second issue concerns the recognition that the NCCs are able to obtain from the Catholic Church. It is argued that the negotiations entailed by such recognition are often rendered lengthy and tortuous, both by the controversial nature of the institutional, organizational and liturgical innovations adopted by the Communities and by the existence within the Church of several sources of legitimating authority. Torn between the duty to disavow excessively radical innovations and the desire to prevent open conflict, the ecclesiastical bureaucracy often resorts to forms of ambiguous legitimation, where it is not clear whether the Church’s silence amounts to tacit condemnation or tacit approval of the new communities. The paper concludes by exploring the advan- tages that the NCCs can bring to the Church, and the consequent reasons that induce the relevant authority to abandon its proverbial prudence and grant rapid recognition.

  • Koch Foundation 2011 Annual Report
    Mission Statement Carl Koch’s belief that he was “just a steward of the fi nances given by God to use on His behalf” inspired the commitment he and his wife, Paula, made to founding the Koch Foundation in 1979. The Foundation’s goals are to strengthen and to propagate the Roman Catholic faith by providing grant support for a wide variety of evangelization eff orts. In considering applications, major emphasis is placed on sound but fi nancially needy evangelical programs. The Koch Foundation is international in scope with no geographical preference. Carl and Paula Koch 2 Letter From The Executive Director I have been blessed in my life to have had several family members who chose to dedicate their lives in service to God, so there has never been a time when I did not visit my relatives and see a cousin dressed all in black with a worn yet beloved Rosary tucked carefully into her simple belt. I can remember as a young child Sister teaching me to say the Rosary and telling me that whenever I attended Mass I was to pray the Rosary. That memory has stayed with me into adulthood and, when I became a mother, the Rosary took on a special and personal meaning. I found I was praying the Rosary more often and usually for something concerning my son and family. I began to realize that I needed the solace I could only fi nd by praying the Rosary. Like many parents, in addition to my work at the Foundation I am also my son’s chauff eur, carting him to and from various sports events.

  • The Beguine Option: a Persistent Past and a Promising Future of Christian Monasticism
    religions Article The Beguine Option: A Persistent Past and a Promising Future of Christian Monasticism Evan B. Howard Department of Ministry, Fuller Theological Seminary 62421 Rabbit Trail, Montrose, CO 81403, USA; [email protected] Received: 1 June 2019; Accepted: 3 August 2019; Published: 21 August 2019 Abstract: Since Herbert Grundmann’s 1935 Religious Movements in the Middle Ages, interest in the Beguines has grown significantly. Yet we have struggled whether to call Beguines “religious” or not. My conviction is that the Beguines are one manifestation of an impulse found throughout Christian history to live a form of life that resembles Christian monasticism without founding institutions of religious life. It is this range of less institutional yet seriously committed forms of life that I am here calling the “Beguine Option.” In my essay, I will sketch this “Beguine Option” in its varied expressions through Christian history. Having presented something of the persistent past of the Beguine Option, I will then present an introduction to forms of life exhibited in many of the expressions of what some have called “new monasticism” today, highlighting the similarities between movements in the past and new monastic movements in the present. Finally, I will suggest that the Christian Church would do well to foster the development of such communities in the future as I believe these forms of life hold much promise for manifesting and advancing the kingdom of God in our midst in a postmodern world. Keywords: monasticism; Beguine; spiritual formation; intentional community; spirituality; religious life 1. Introduction What might the future of monasticism look like? I start with three examples: two from the present and one from the past.

  • Sisters Mobile and United
    CHAPTER 11 SISTERS MOBILE AND UNITED At Somerset, Ohio, on May 9, 1851, the driver of a stagecoach waited before the beautiful Gothic chapel of St. Mary's convent for two passengers. One was the novice Aloysia O'Neill who was making her religious profession before the wondering eyes of her family, the academy students and Dominican sisters and friars. Among the silent participants was a second awaited traveler, Sister Frances Stafford. When the ceremony ended and farewells were reluctantly completed, the two women, dressed for travel, mounted the waiting coach to begin the longest and most uncertain journey of their lives. They were on the way to a new mission in California! Sister Aloysia O'Neill, at home in California These travelers would not be joining a caravan of covered wagons going west. They were going east over the mountains to New York, then south by schooner along the Atlantic coast to the Isthmus of Panama. To cross that dangerous and mosquito-infested isthmus from the Caribbean to the Pacific, they would journey over its mountainous terrain by foot and muleback. If they survived, a ship would take them up the Pacific coast to San Francisco, the mecca of Americans seeking gold and adventure. Among the passengers traveling with the two Dominican women were four Sisters of Notre Dame of Namur from Belgium. One of them, Sister Alenie, kept a chronicle of their journey, describing its incredible dangers and hardships. When their schooner finally neared San Francisco, Alenie recorded the event in these words: On Tuesday July 1st the fog was so dense that the Pilot steered towards Oregon, but at mid-day perceiving his mistake, retraced the route to California.
