M. Bergoglio Antonio Spadaro, SJ 17 The Bible in Evangelization Today Saverio Corradino, SJ – Giancarlo Pani, SJ 31 Jesuit Journals and the First World War: On nationalism and dialogue Klaus Schatz, SJ 50 Is Stalinism Alive in Russia?

A. Turkson Francesco Occhetta, SJ 93 A Tale of Love and Darkness Giovanni Arledler, SJ ABSTRACTS ARTICLE 1 THE SEVEN PILLARS OF EDUCATION ACCORDING TO J. M. BERGOGLIO Antonio Spadaro, SJ The challenge of education has always been of the greatest concern to the current pope. For him, “to educate is one of the most exciting arts of existence.” This article presents the seven pillars of his educational philosophy as it evolved during his episcopal ministry in Buenos Aires before his election to the papacy. The pillars: education as a common issue that helps build a nation’s future; the need to welcome and integrate diversity as a resource; the farsightedness and courage to face new anthropological challenges, even those we struggle to understand; restlessness as a driving force of education; questioning and research as a method; awareness and acceptance of limits; the familiar and generative dimension of the educational relationship. ARTICLE 17 THE BIBLE IN EVANGELIZATION TODAY Saverio Corradino, SJ – Giancarlo Pani, SJ “The sacred Scriptures are the very source of evangelization” (Evangelii Gaudium, No. 174). The words of Pope Francis emphasize the primary role of the Scriptures in evangelization. Pastoral care must not only place the Bible at the forefront, but must also consider it in relation to the world today, the people we deal with and the wider humanity moving around us. All evangelization is founded on the Word of God that is heard, meditated, celebrated and witnessed. “The Church does not evangelize unless she constantly lets herself be evangelized. It is indispensable that the Word of God be ever more fully at the heart of every ecclesial activity” (ibid.). ABSTRACTS ARTICLE 31 JESUIT JOURNALS AND THE FIRST WORLD WAR: ON NATIONALISM AND DIALOGUE Klaus Schatz, SJ What were the stances of the three Jesuit magazines Stimmen der Zeit (Germany); Études (France); and La Civiltà Cattolica (Italy) on the First World War? In Stimmen der Zeit and in Études we find a clear identification in the “just cause” of one’s own nation, albeit with different nuances and some reservations about unbridled nationalism. For La Civiltà Cattolica, however, the culprit of war was not a specific nation, but a modernity free of any transcendent connection. Hence, the reception of Pope Benedict XV’s peace initiative, which was grasped wholeheartedly only by La Civiltà Cattolica. Though the other two magazines did not criticize the peace initiative, they accepted it by subjecting it to a national interpretation. The author is professor emeritus of Church History at the Sankt Georgen Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology in Frankfurt. FOCUS 50 IS STALINISM ALIVE IN RUSSIA? Vladimir Pachkov, SJ How can we explain the fact that, although everyone knows who Stalin was and what his system did to the Russian people, he is still one of the most popular personalities in Russia? According to a Levada Center survey, Stalin is considered the most extraordinary personality in Russian history, even more than Pushkin or Putin. What drives the Russians to continue honoring this dictator? But do they really honor him? Or is there something completely different motivating this attitude? Although the overwhelming majority of Russians are opposed to any attempts to reaffirm the positive aspects of the dictator and his regime, we cannot ignore the process of creeping “re-stalinization” that started from below and that is now used by the state for its own purposes. The author teaches at the St. Thomas Theological Institute in Moscow. ABSTRACTS PROFILE 63 KAKICHI KADOWAKI: THE INCULTURATION OF CHRISTIANITY IN JAPANESE CULTURE Tomás García-Huidobro, SJ The Jesuit priest Kakichi Kadowaki (1926-2017) lived out the best tradition of the Society of Jesus in its effort to inculturate the Gospel in Japan. He encountered Zen while attending secondary school at the Shizuoka public institute, which is famous for its educative methods. The exemplary death of a brother he admired determined his conversion to Christianity. He entered the Society of Jesus, and the teaching of Jesuit Father Hugo Enomiya-Lassalle gave him the desire to practice Zen as a way to unification with God. He then dedicated himself to creating a hermeneutic perspective according to which the approach to the Bible is based on a meditative-physical reading inspired by his practice of zazen. The author is director of the St. Thomas Institute in Moscow. NOTES AND COMMENTS 74 THE CRACKS IN SECULARIZATION Giandomenico Mucci, SJ Desecularization has recently become a topic of debate. It is a term that aims to describe a fact. Secularization, still the monolith that dominates Western culture, is showing cracks and fissures. It has been the case for some time that within the secular city one recognizes the distrust of some of its premises and results, among which are numbered individualism and indifference to ethics. ABSTRACTS INTERVIEW 80 WORK AND THE DIGNITY OF WORKERS: AN INTERVIEW WITH CARDINAL PETER K. A. TURKSON Francesco Occhetta, SJ To elaborate further on the theme of work in a universal perspective, we turned to Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson, prefect of the Dicastery for the Promotion of Integral Human Development. From the defense of the worker’s dignity to the relationship between work and justice, from corruption as evil to the positive forms of meritocracy, from the anthropological significance of the fourth industrial revolution to the Church’s trust in young workers: these are some of the issues addressed in this interview, which are the foundation of the Church’s spiritual, anthropological and social proposal for the world of work. ART, MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT 93 A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS Giovanni Arledler, SJ Inspired by a news story about Israeli actress Natalie Portman’s refusal of the Genesis Prize, this article talks about her debut film as a director, based on the autobiographical novel, A Tale of Love and Darkness, a masterpiece by Israeli writer Amos Oz. The short film highlights only a part of the writer’s life, but describes very well the society and the atmosphere of Palestine in the years immediately before independence and the founding of the State of Israel. The director evokes very effectively the relationship that Oz had as a child with his parents, and especially with his mother, who dramatically died when he was just becoming an adolescent.

  • Pius Ix and the Change in Papal Authority in the Nineteenth Century
    ABSTRACT ONE MAN’S STRUGGLE: PIUS IX AND THE CHANGE IN PAPAL AUTHORITY IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Andrew Paul Dinovo This thesis examines papal authority in the nineteenth century in three sections. The first examines papal issues within the world at large, specifically those that focus on the role of the Church within the political state. The second section concentrates on the authority of Pius IX on the Italian peninsula in the mid-nineteenth century. The third and final section of the thesis focuses on the inevitable loss of the Papal States within the context of the Vatican Council of 1869-1870. Select papal encyclicals from 1859 to 1871 and the official documents of the Vatican Council of 1869-1870 are examined in light of their relevance to the change in the nature of papal authority. Supplementing these changes is a variety of seminal secondary sources from noted papal scholars. Ultimately, this thesis reveals that this change in papal authority became a point of contention within the Church in the twentieth century.

Alphonsus Ihuoma certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE HOLY SEE, SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW: ASSESSING THE SOCIAL MISSION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE GATT- WTO SYSTEM by Fr. Alphonsus Ihuoma ________________________________ Professor Raj Bhala (Chairperson) Date approved: May 15, 2014 ii ABSTRACT Man, as a person, is superior to the state, and consequently the good of the person transcends the good of the state. The philosopher Jacques Maritain developed his political philosophy thoroughly informed by his deep Catholic faith. His philosophy places the human person at the center of every action. In developing his political thought, he enumerates two principal tasks of the state as (1) to establish and preserve order, and as such, guarantee justice, and (2) to promote the common good. The state has such duties to the people because it receives its authority from the people. The people possess natural, God-given right of self-government, the exercise of which they voluntarily invest in the state.

  • Wielding the Temporal Sword
    WIELDING THE TEMPORAL SWORD AN ANALYSIS OF THE CREATION OF VATICAN CITY STATE IN RELATION TO THE CATHOLIC PERSPECTIVE ON STATEHOOD AND CATHOLIC DOCTRINE ON THE RELATION BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE Master Thesis Political Theory Guido As August 15th 2016 Supervisor: Prof. dr. M.L.J. Wissenburg Abstract The Lateran Treaty of 1929 between Italy and the Roman Catholic Church constitutes the creation of Vatican City State. This thesis gives an account of the negotiations leading up to the signing of the Treaty. The creation of the City State draws our attention to two specific concepts: statehood and the separation of Church and state. The Catholic perspective on these concepts is presented and compared to other dominant theories of the concepts The Catholic perception of statehood in the early 20th century was based on the work of Fr. Taparelli, a Jesuit scholar who was heavily inspired by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). The thesis concludes that there is a discrepancy between this theoretical conception of statehood, and the creation of Vatican City State. This can be explained by the fact that obtaining statehood was instrumental to the Holy See’s ambition of becoming sovereign. Catholic doctrine on the relation between Church and state has always rejected the idea of a full separation. Papal teachings have traditionally promoted a differentiation between a spiritual and temporal sphere of power, each supreme in its own domain, but cooperating in harmony. Depending on one´s interpretation, the creation of Vatican City is in line with this doctrine. Key words: Lateran Treaty, Vatican City State, separation of Church and State, statehood, sovereignty 2 Contents Chapter 1.
