The Meeting took place in the V Centenary year of St. Francis Xavier’s birth and the 75th anniversary of the Founder’s death. This book contains the Acts of the Meeting. We decided to publish the contributions almost in their entirety in order to share with everyone the rich material prepared for the Meeting and, as far as possi- ble, the debates that took place during it. Unfortunately, the book will probably be unable to transmit the participants’ experience. During the Meeting, the figures of Francis Xavier and Blessed Guido Conforti acquired a new importance and beauty; we gained a more intense perception of the Congregation as our family and the importance of the topics we discussed. The Meeting was characterized by its fraternal atmosphere and the great commitment of everyone involved: our fraternity overcame the barriers of our different ages, nation- alities and experiences. Above all, however, we felt that the Holy Spirit was working with us, helping us to experience and embrace the beauty of everything that was being said. Some limits that emerged at the Meeting leave us with an open task for the future. In a particular way, I believe we found it more difficult than we expected to reappraise the topic and apply the reflections to the various contexts laid before us by the Congregations’ increasing internationality. This remains a challenge for the present and the future, together with the certainty that what unites us is more power- ful than what may divide us, and that we have a rich common heritage which must not be squan- dered. The figure of Fr. Franco Teodori comes to my mind as we prepare to publish this book: with his me- ticulous work he contributed more than anyone to making our Founder known and, therefore, to the successful outcome of the Meeting. I dedicate this work to him. Fr. Rino Benzoni Superior General Rome,7 October 2006 Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary INTRODUCTION 11 INTRODUCTION General Direction 1.Weall know that a demanding challenge awaits us and this challenge depends above all on two fac- tors: - The topic is a vast one and this forced us to make some choices; others will certainly be made by the speakers.Wehope our decisions prove to be the right ones. - Above all,however,the topic is very vague.Today,“Spirituality”is an all-inclusive term,almost syn- onymous with “identity”.Spirituality pervades every aspect of life and not only our way of praying or relating to God. 2. At the same time, the topic needs to be clearly defined: - it was suggested by the XIV General Chapter - the COSUMA confirmed it; - the conference has given rise to voices of approval and,above all … of expectation; - the topic was welcomed by the majority of those who sent us their observations; during our visits we saw a clear desire to reflect on this fundamental aspect of our life. The confreres are very aware that topics such as spirituality and identity are fundamental for our family and,more generally,for the very survival of the consecrated and missionary life; - we also believe that the renewed interest in the figure of St. Francis Xavier and the contributions to the 500th anniversary of his birth all point in this direction. 3. We are aware of the difficulties as we accept the challenge, but we are also aware that in our midst stands Another Actor who guides the destinies of the Church and our Family. This Actor brings things to maturity in ways that are “different” from our own criteria, in ways that are sometimes im- perceptible and, at the same time, evident for those who have eyes to see. Little by little, without our being aware of it, this Actor can lead us to adopt positions that only a short time before we would never even have imagined; He can also transform into a success what from a human point of view seems just another failure and, on the contrary, leave in a barren state what everyone considered to be a great success. 4. The importance of the Conference, above and beyond whatever emerges from it, consists in the fact that it was proposed and how it shall develop. We do not know what will come out of it: the success of a conference such as this depends on many factors. Above all, we are convinced that such conferences succeed provided they are held at the proper time, their topic is “ripe” and when a previous process, with its positive and negative results, leads us to un- derstand the indispensable nature of something that, even a few years previously, we would never even have considered to be useful. It seems that the time has come for us to focus sharply on Spiritual- ity as the decisive dimension of every Christian life, especially of the consecrated life and, even more, of the missionary life. In the minds of those who reflect, the paths traveled by the consecrated life and the mission in recent decades or centuries, despite their magnificent achievements, seem to have dried up and are no longer able to offer a reason to the new generations for making a total life-commitment to the Gospel. We have been realizing for some time now that frenetic activity no longer produces fruit; that the mission is in danger of being excessively conditioned by elements that are alien to it ... that once these have been shed, the consecrated-missionary runs the risks of ending up naked and vulnerable (for they gave him visibility and filled his days) and that our action becomes sterile for our- selves and others without direct and constant contact with the source. 12 General Direction In saying this we do not wish to judge the missionaries of the past in any way: many of them gave themselves totally and some even shed their blood. However, the consecrated life and the mission are dynamic by their very nature, they are always open to new challenges: in every age, total dedication to God and the brothers for the proclamation of the Gospel calls upon us to renew our zeal and dedica- tion in view of a renewed fidelity in accordance with the times. It is therefore a wonderful thing that our Congregation is setting out once again in the quest for that “something more” that the Spirit is asking of us today. 5. Let us therefore enter with an open heart into these days, ready to listen to others and to the Spirit; ready to receive and to give. It will turn out as God wants it. The right attitude is one of optimism and realism. Perhaps our only task today is to sow ... others shall reap the fruits of our efforts. 6. Our confidence is based on the fact that even to speak of these topics is itself a process of growth. Many of you have asked us not to be concerned about documents and we are indeed perfectly aware that no document can change

  • Pío Xi Y Álvaro Obregón. Relaciones a Través De La Delegación Apostólica En México (1921-1923)
    Pío XI y Álvaro Obregón. Relaciones a través de la Delegación Apostólica en México (1921-1923) Carmen José ALEJOS Facultad de Teología, Universidad de Navarra (España) [email protected] Este artículo forma parte de un proyecto de investigación sobre la libertad religiosa en México durante los años 20 y 30 del siglo XX. Años convulsos sobre los que hay abundantes estudios y publicaciones. El objeto del presente trabajo es ofrecer docu- mentación inédita sobre las relaciones Iglesia-Estado, en concreto entre el delegado apostólico Filippi con el Presidente Álvaro Obregón durante los catorce meses de estancia de aquél en México. Es lógico que se note la ausencia de bibliografía más detallada, explicaciones más completas, pero no es el objetivo de esta publicación. Además, al ser un estudio parcial no es posible sacar conclusiones generales, pero sí permite descubrir algunos aspectos poco o nada conocidos hasta ahora. I. BREVE HISTORIA DE LA DELEGACIÓN APOSTÓLICA Las relaciones diplomáticas entre México y la Santa Sede desde la Independen- cia en 1821 fueron difíciles. En efecto, después de la guerra, y durante los primeros treinta años la Santa Sede no envió un nuncio o delegado; en parte por las buenas relaciones que ésta mantenía con la corona española, y en parte por la inestabilidad de los gobiernos mexicanos que hacía un poco complicado establecer un entendi- miento. De hecho, el primer delegado apostólico de México y América Central fue el obispo Luigi Clementi, que llegó a México en 1851 y fue expulsado en 1861. El segundo delegado, Pier Francesco Meglia, estuvo en México del 26 septiembre 1864 al 1 junio 1865, durante el gobierno de Maximiliano.

  • Sons of Don Bosco Successors of The
    SONS OF DON BOSCO SUCCESSORS OF THE APOSTLES SALESIAN BISHOPS 1884 to 2001 by Charles N. Bransom, Jr. INTRODUCTION he study of apostolic succession and episcopal lineages has long fascinated students of church history. It was not until the middle T of the twentieth century, however, that a systematic attempt was made to trace and catalogue the consecrations of bishops on a world-wide basis. A small group of researchers has catalogued the consecrations of tens of thou­ sands of bishops dating back many centuries. The fruits of their labors--labors that are on going-have resulted in a database, which can trace the episcopal lineage of any living bishop and the vast majority of deceased bishops. In 1984, I began a project on the episcopal ordinations of bishops of re­ ligious orders and congregations. One fruit of that work was a study of the ordi­ nations of Salesian bishops, Les Eveques Salesiens. The present work updates, corrects and expands the 1984 study. In 1984, the episcopal ordinations of 130 bishops were presented. This study contains the details of 196 bishops. The text has been expanded to include the episcopal lineages of the bishops. Of the 196 bishops in this study, 183 trace their orders to Scipione Re­ biba, who was appointed Auxiliary Bishop ofChieti in 1541. The Rebiban suc­ cession is the major episcopal line in the contemporary Catholic episcopate. More than 91 % of the more than 4,500 bishops alive today trace their orders 54 Journal of Salesian Studies back to Rebiba Why so many bishops should trace their lineages to this one bishop can be explained, in great part, by the intense sacramental activity of Pope Benedict XIII, who consecrated 139 bishops during his pontificate, many of them cardinals, nuncios and bishops of important sees who in tum conse­ crated many other bishops.

    253 SEXTA PARTE LA CAL A PARTIR DEL MOTU PROPRIO DECESSORES NOSTRI DESDE 1988 254 255 El año 1988 es importante en la historia de la Pontificia Comisión para América Latina. En ese año el Santo Padre Juan Pablo II, con el Motu Proprio Decessores Nostri del 18 de junio y con la Constitución Apostólica Pastor Bonus del 28 de junio, reorganizó y potenció la CAL, dándole una ubicación en el orgánico de la Curia Romana y precisando más su naturaleza y finalidad. Estos dos actos pontificios son el punto de partida de una nueva etapa en la vida de este Organismo de la Curia Romana, cuya importancia era cada vez más evidente para la renovación y fortalecimiento del catolicismo latinoamericano. Después de 30 años de existencia, Su Santidad Juan Pablo II, consideró que había llegado el momento de reestructurar y potenciar la Comisión para América Latina de modo que fuera siempre en grado de responder a las expectativas que la Santa Sede había depositado en ella desde su constitución en 1958.
