    Vatican II: The Radical Shift to Ecumenism Branson Shaffer History Faculty advisor: Kimberly Little The Catholic Church is the world’s oldest, most continuous organization in the world. But it has not lasted so long without changing and adapting to the times. One of the greatest examples of the Catholic Church’s adaptation to the modernization of society is through the Second Vatican Council, held from 11 October 1962 to 8 December 1965. In this gathering of church leaders, the Catholic Church attempted to shift into a new paradigm while still remaining orthodox in faith. It sought to bring the Church, along with the faithful, fully into the twentieth century while looking forward into the twenty-first. Out of the two billion Christians in the world, nearly half of those are Catholic.1 But, Vatican II affected not only the Catholic Church, but Christianity as a whole through the principles of ecumenism and unity. There are many reasons the council was called, both in terms of internal, Catholic needs and also in aiming to promote ecumenism among non-Catholics. There was also an unprecedented event that occurred in the vein of ecumenical beginnings: the invitation of preeminent non-Catholic theologians and leaders to observe the council proceedings. This event, giving outsiders an inside look at 1 World Religions (2005). The Association of Religious Data Archives, accessed 13 April 2014, http://www.thearda.com/QuickLists/QuickList_125.asp.

  • On a Delicate Mission: Pope John Paul 11 in Ukraine*
    Religion, State & Society, Vol. 29, No. 3, 2001 On a Delicate Mission: Pope John Paul 11 in Ukraine* GERD STRICKER From 23 to 27 June 2001 Pope John Paul 11 made what he described as a pastoral journey and pilgrimage to Ukraine. The Ukrainian president, Leonid Kuchma, who is under intense internal political pressure, had issued an invitation to the pope with the support of the churches in Ukraine which owe allegiance to Rome. Patriarch Aleksi 11 of Moscow and All Russia protested vehemently against the papal visit, claiming that the Catholic Church was involved in 'proselytism' and 'massive mission' on the canonical territory of the Russian Orthodox Church (the former Soviet Union). Despite this, the pope was convinced that his visit to Ukraine would bring an improvement in interreligious relations, in particular in the relations between the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. It has to be doubted whether he has succeeded in this delicate mission. Any hopes that Patriarch Aleksi would change his mind at the last minute were dashed: the patriarch took the opportunity to make a well-publicised 'state visit' to Belarus' and the representative of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP), Metropolitan Volodymyr (Sabodan, born 1935) of Kiev and All Ukraine, travelled to the Czech Republic 'for medical reasons', in order to avoid meeting the pope. In the course of his 94 visits abroad, Pope John Paul has previously visited other traditionally Orthodox countries (Georgia and Romania in 1999 and Greece earlier in 2001). As in Ukraine, he was invited by the heads of state, but also by the heads of the Orthodox Churches.

  • Participation in the “World Council of Churches” As an Ecclesiological Heresy* “Invisible Unity” and “Baptismal Theology”
    ■ “It behooves us to avoid Communion with those whose way of thinking we abhor.” (St. Athanasios the Great) The Orthodox Informer ‘For it is a commandment of the Lord not to be silent at a time when the Faith is in jeopardy. Speak, Scripture says, and hold not thy peace.... For this reason, I, the wretched one, fearing the Tribunal, also speak.” (St. Theodore the Studite, Patrologia Græca, Vol. XCIX, col. 1321) ■ On the occasion of an official statement by the new General Secretary of the WCC Participation in the “World Council of Churches” as an Ecclesiological Heresy* “Invisible Unity” and “Baptismal Theology” I. Anxieties and qualms 1. AS IS weLL KNowN, the “Inter-Orthodox Theological Conference” of Thessaloniki (20-24 September 2004, featuring sixty speakers) issued the following momentous proclamation: The VERY acT OF paRTICIpaTION in the ‘World Council of Churches’ and in theological dialogues with heretical Papists, Protestants, and Monophysites coN- STITUTes A DENIAL OF The UNIQUENess OF The CHURch and an adequation of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church with heresies and schisms.

To BE SURE, this proclamation is not without precedent: expansive participation in the ecumenical movement, which in- volves not only the WCC and “dialogues,” but also an unimagin- ably broad spectrum of inter-Christian and interfaith activities, has been aptly and correctly characterized as “something far worse than a panheresy” (Andreas Theodorou, 1973)2 and as “the greatest and most grievous blow against the work of redemption, which [Orthodoxy] is called to fulfill in the midst of the modern world” (Konstantinos Mouratides, 1973).3 3.

  • Arms and the Woman: Chapter 5
    Arms and the Woman Margaret Poulos From Heroines to Hyenas: The Civil War, 1946–49 5.1 Introduction As the previous chapter argued, EAM's importance lay in its parallel function as a social 1 movement that sought to transform national socio-political culture according to the standards of Western modernity. As such, the mass mobilisation and participation of Greek women in all facets of the national liberation project ushered in new possibilities for women's citizenship and gender politics in Greece. With liberation in 1944, great promise for lasting social change held sway, and few predicted the tragedy that was to unfold over the next four years. How did the Civil War, and the attendant cultural turbulence, affect notions of social justice and 2 gender equality established on a mass scale during the Resistance? Was the experience of the partisan women fighters of the Civil War seamlessly linked to that of the EAM-ELAS women fighters? How does the experience of the female partisan fighters of the Civil War inform our understanding of the relationship between nationalism and emancipatory politics, or feminism, which are questions pertinent to this book? Put simply, the Civil War was the culmination of escalating tensions between left and right 3 during the Axis occupation, complicated further by foreign intervention in the context of emergent Cold War politics. At another level, it was underpinned by the clash between Greek traditionalists and progressives, between those hostile to EAM's socio-economic reforms and those who were its greatest beneficiaries. Officially, the Civil War began in 1946 and ended in 1949 with the defeat of the partisans on the northern Macedonian mountains of Grammos and Vitsi.

  • Representing the Orthodox Churches to the European Union
    54 Sorin Selaru Representing the Orthodox Churches to the European Union The European Union is a unique, complex, dynamic and extremely interesting construction. At present, it brings together the diversities and particularities of 28 Member States and it seems that it went beyond the brilliant vision of its founding fathers. The European reality shifted from a strictly economic perspective to a broader one, which now incorporates political, social, and cultural aspects. Its increasingly growing impact on society constitutes a constant challenge for the churches in Europe. At the same time, due to the multiple crises, which afected the European society, the European Union is still in need of powerful convictions founded on equally solid values in order to restore the European citizens’ hope and trust in its institutions1. Hence, because they serve the common good, the churches can contribute to the formation of a European identity built primarily on the respect for human dignity and for the Earth, both of which are deeply rooted in the Christian tradition. From a religious point of view, Europe is still Christian and it is not hard to indicate on the map of the 28 Member States the Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox areas, even though there is increasing discussion about religious pluralism. In fact, the European Union does not have any competence in the religious domain and it fully respects the competence of the Member States in the organisation of the State-Church afairs. As a result, the relationship between State and religious communities at the European level is marked by the historical, religious, and socio-cultural particularities of each country.
