Travelling continuously from one place to another they preached the Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour wherever they could. It took root in Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, India, Australia and New Zealand. The great upsurge in popular piety surprised the missionaries, as if people were meet- ing their true mother for the first time. What happened opened a new horizon for evangelisation. Centuries before Nestorians had brought Christianity to Asia. They sailed to India and journeyed to China along to the Silk Road. In the Middle Ages the Francis- cans returned to China; later Jesuits and other religious orders followed in the wake of the colonial powers. Mary seemed to keep on calling, appealing and stretching out for Asia to em- brace her. The Perpetual Novena occupies a special place in this history. It is a devotion invented in the USA in Saint Louis dur- ing the Great Depression for people in deep material and spir- itual need. It extended the Redemptorists’ own practice of hon- 1 The author would like to thank Prof. Valentino Cottini, Preside of the Pontificio Istituto di Studi Arabi e d’Islamica, Prof. Michael Fuss of the Grego- rian University and Father Ibrahim Seydoo C.Ss.R for their assistance and help- ful insights. 4 Terence Kennedy, C.SS.R. ouring God’s Mother especially on Saturdays to all people, most of all the poor. The service in the church lasts just thirty minutes including, preaching, hymn singing, litanies the reading of peti- tions and thanksgivings written by the devotees, and Benedic- tion of the Blessed Sacrament. At war’s end, the Novena brought numerous conversions to Catholicism in overwhelmingly non- Christian lands. This flow has never ceased. The icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour has penetrated deeply into the religious psy- che and imagination of these ancient cultures. Their sacred mother and child images, their inherent reverence for women, had been preparing a place of hospitality to welcome Mary and her divine Child for millennia. 2. – From Wonder to Welcome The spontaneous, joyful manner in which Muslims flocked to the Novena rather bewildered the missionaries. Taken by sur- prise they did not know what to make of it. It soon became clear that perhaps more than other Asian religions Muslims recog- nised their own mother in this icon. They claimed Mary as their very own, affectionately invoking, “Our Lady” along with Catho- lics. In fact, they seemed to think she belonged to them more than to any other group. That was a great enigma. Had not their seminary training warned missionaries that Muslims were here- tics and that their law punished attempted conversion with death? They were quite ignorant of the treasures of the Aramaic Church Fathers, or of the history of the Church’s mission into Central Asia, and more than anything else of Islam. Their “gut- feeling” was that Muslims should not even be in the Church building, suspecting that they doubted Mary’s role in salvation in much the way Protestants do. The pastoral wisdom of Christ’s Gospel prevailed for, “Whoever is not against us is for us” (Mk 9: 40). Consequently, the missionaries welcomed Muslims, and strove never to offend their faith or put anybody’s life in danger through proselytism. The Redemptorists proceeded to made foundations in Iraq, Leba- non and Africa, contacting the Tuareg in the Sahara desert. They became aware that, “Jesus is mentioned by name in the Quran more than Muhammad, and that Mary is mentioned more Devotion to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour and Islam 5 times in the Quran than in the New Testament. Both Jesus and Mary play important roles not only in the Quran but also in Mus- lim piety and spirituality”.2 This essay seeks to shed but a little light on this situation, to help in understanding its background without confronting all its important dimensions. The pivotal question would be: how can Catholics and Muslims share devotion for a common mother without a common faith? Further, which Muslim beliefs support such reverent devotion toward Mary? 3. – Change in Attitude The Catholic attitude to Muslims has changed radically. Until the nineteenth century the “magisterial tradition” treated Jews and Muslims not as pagans, idolaters or schismatics, but as heretics who knowing the truth of the Gospel had rejected it. Vatican II’s Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Genti- um 16, and the Declaration of the Church’s Relationship to Non- Christian Religions, Nostra Aetate 3 formed the turning point in the Church’s attitude. Historically Christians thought that Mus- lims had drawn upon the Old and New Testaments in order to pervert the truth of the Gospel. The main objection to Muham- mad was that he had changed, “the true tradition in the Qur’an to serve his own personal ends”.3 What triggered this transformed attitude? A new approach with a different conception of both Jews and Muslims flowed from a fresh appreciation of the theological category of “invinci- ble ignorance”. Although its application to non-Christian reli- gions has a long tradition behind it, it only entered the Church’s magisterium in 1854 with Pope Pius IX’s allocution Singulari Quadam.4 It arose from a clear historical sensibility that non- 2 John L.

Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu PL ISSN 0078-4648 [email protected] FUNCTION WORDS IN SURNAMES — “ALIEN BODIES” IN ANTHROPONYMY (WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO POLAND) K e y w o r d s: multipart surnames, compound surnames, complex surnames, nobiliary particles, function words in surnames INTRODUCTION Surnames in Europe (and in those countries outside Europe whose surnaming patterns have been influenced by European traditions) are mostly conceptualised as single entities, genetically nominal or adjectival. Even if a person bears two or more surnames, they are treated on a par, which may be further emphasized by hyphenation, yielding the phenomenon known as double-barrelled (or even multi-barrelled) surnames. However, this single-entity approach, visible e.g. in official forms, is largely an oversimplification. This becomes more obvious when one remembers such household names as Ludwig van Beethoven, Alexander von Humboldt, Oscar de la Renta, or Olivia de Havilland. Contemporary surnames resulted from long and complicated historical processes. Consequently, certain surnames contain also function words — “alien bodies” in the realm of proper names, in a manner of speaking. Among these words one can distinguish: — prepositions, such as the Portuguese de; Swedish von, af; Dutch bij, onder, ten, ter, van; Italian d’, de, di; German von, zu, etc.; — articles, e.g. Dutch de, het, ’t; Italian l’, la, le, lo — they will interest us here only when used in combination with another category, such as prepositions; — combinations of prepositions and articles/conjunctions, or the contracted forms that evolved from such combinations, such as the Italian del, dello, del- la, dell’, dei, degli, delle; Dutch van de, van der, von der; German von und zu; Portuguese do, dos, da, das; — conjunctions, e.g.

The incremental work that we rightly celebrate each year culminated in the recent announcement that the College has risen to third in the 2016 U.S. News & World Report national college rankings, up from a ranking of fifteenth on the same list in 2006. These rankings depend on a wide variety of measures. Among these are selectivity, financial resources, class size, graduation and retention rates, alumni giving, and reputation among high-school counselors. We are now in worthy company with our top peers, and while we do not manage the College for the sake of these rankings, we can allow ourselves to be gratified to see the University of Chicago publicly acknowledged in this way. Chicago also fared well in the newest international research rankings organized by ShanghaiRank- ing and the London Times, ranking ten and ten respectively out of many hundreds of institutions.

  • The Fall of an Imperial Ambassador: Count Georg Adam Von Martinitz and His Recall from Rome
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository of the Academy's Library 247 Béla Vilmos MIHALIK The Fall of an Imperial Ambassador: Count Georg Adam von Martinitz and His Recall from Rome Abstract: The paper discusses the changes in the diplomatic relations between Rome and Vienna during the embassy tenure of Count Georg Adam von Martinitz (1696–1700). The series of his conflicts with the Holy See (e.g., the scandal at the Corpus Christi procession, the affairs of the imperial feuds in Italy and finally a poisoning attempt) deteriorated his situation at the Roman Curia. That resulted in his being denied Papal audiences and the recall of Martinitz from Rome. But it should have been anticipated by his relatives in Vienna. Martinitz received another Imperial Court posting, although he was not satisfied with it. Although he inherited most of these conflicts, he was not able to dissolve them; in fact, he made some of them worse. His successor, Count Leopold Joseph von Lamberg, arrived to Rome with the task “to put water on the fire”. But it was not an easy task, especially on the eve of the War of the Spanish Succession. Keywords: Habsburg – diplomacy – Rome – Papal Court – Martinitz he last two decades of the seventeenth century were marked by three popes. Innocent XI is the best known of them: he symbolized the organization of the Holy League and the beginnings of the Great Turkish War (1683–1699). His papacy Tis still one of the most researched from the post-Westphalia period.1 The relationship between Innocent XI and the Habsburg Court in Vienna was examined by Vilmos Fraknói, whose work is still required reading for the period, mostly in regard to the Great Turkish War.
