  • St. Gallen, 12. Srpna 2014 Excelence, Situace Křesťanů a Jiných
    St. Gallen, 12. srpna 2014 Excelence, situace křesťanů a jiných náboženských menšin v Iráku je zcela nepřijatelná. Naléhavá potřeba bránit a chránit lidská práva těchto lidí a přežití jejich komunit je evidentní. Mezinárodní společenství je povolané k tomu, aby ukončilo tuto tragédii všemi dostupnými legitimními prostředky. My, evropští biskupové, vyjadřujeme také pocity našich věřících a žádáme Radu bezpečnosti, aby učinila rozhodnutí, která ukončí tyto hrozné skutky, při nichž tisíce lidí umírají nebo jsou zabíjeny či nuceny opustit vlastní domovy z důvodu náboženské příslušnosti. Generální sekretář OSN a velká část světového veřejného mínění již jasně odsoudili to, co se odehrává v severním Iráku. Je bezpodmínečně nutné přijmout konkrétní humanitární opatření a odpovědět tak na zoufalou situaci dětí, žen, starých lidí a mnoha dalších osob, které ztratily všechno, aby utekly před smrtí, a nyní se nachází v nebezpečí úmrtí hlady a žízní. V posledních letech se mnoho pokročilo v porozumění zodpovědnosti mezinárodního společenství v oblasti ochrany lidských práv, zejména práva na život nevinných lidí a práva na bezpečí. Doufáme, že i v tomto případě bude mezinárodní společenství schopné odpovědět rychlou pomocí mnoha uprchlíkům a zajistit jim možnost bezpečně se vrátit do svých měst a domů. Tragédie, k níž dochází na severu Iráku, nejen ohrožuje multikulturní soužití, jež je nedílnou součástí našeho globalizovaného světa. Představuje také riziko pro křesťany v zemi, kde žijí od samých počátků křesťanství a kde je jejich přítomnost oceňovaná a potřebná pro mír na místní i světové úrovni. S touto výzvou se připojujeme k Svatému otci, papeži Františkovi, který v posledních dnech bez přestání vyzýval mezinárodní společenství, aby se mobilizovalo a poskytlo konkrétní pomoc lidem v nebezpečí, a aby učinilo vše pro zastavení tohoto pekelného kruhu násilí.

  • Catholicism in Sweden Embodying the Church of Mission
    Catholicism in Sweden Embodying the Church of Mission RYSZARD BOBROWICZ Ryszard Bobrowicz is a doctoral student in practical theology at Lund University. [email protected] Introduction: Catholic Revival within the Swedish Religious Landscape The Swedish religious landscape is full of contradictions . On the one hand, Sweden is described as one of the most secularized countries in the world . And, according to some measures, it is – religious participation is at an all-time low and only about 19 % of the population see themselves as reli- gious,1 religious schools are frowned upon,2 religion itself is rarely discussed and is established as a category of otherness, often treated as odd and out- dated,3 and, at least in principle, public expressions of religiosity remain objectionable . On the other hand, Sweden, similarly to neighbouring Denmark and Norway, falls under the so-called “Scandinavian paradox” 4.

The Revd Canon Dr Leslie Nathaniel to be the new Chaplain of the Anglican Church of St Thomas Becket Church in the German city of Hamburg - one of the oldest established and significant churches in the diocese, whose congregation has been in existence since 1612.

    An. et vol. CIX 7 Iulii 2017 N. 7 ACTA APOSTOLICAE SEDIS C O M M E N T A R I U M O F F I C I A L E Directio: Palazzo Apostolico – Città del Vaticano – Administratio: Libreria Editrice Vaticana ACTA FRANCISCI PP. CONSISTORIA Consistorium Ordinarium Publicum pro novis Cardinalibus creandis. « Gesù camminava davanti a loro ». Questa è l’immagine che ci viene dal Vangelo che abbiamo ascoltato (Mc 10, 32-45), e che fa da sfondo anche all’atto che stiamo compiendo: un Concistoro per la creazione di alcuni nuovi Cardinali. Gesù cammina decisamente verso Gerusalemme. Sa bene che cosa lo attende e ne ha parlato più volte ai suoi discepoli. Ma tra il cuore di Gesù e i cuori dei discepoli c’è una distanza, che solo lo Spirito Santo potrà col- mare. Gesù lo sa; per questo è paziente con loro, parla loro con franchezza, e soprattutto li precede, cammina davanti a loro. Lungo il cammino, i discepoli stessi sono distratti da interessi non coerenti con la “direzione” di Gesù, con la sua volontà che è un tutt’uno con la volontà del Padre. Ad esempio – abbiamo sentito – i due fratelli Giacomo e Giovanni pensano a come sarebbe bello sedere alla destra e alla sinistra del re d’Israele (cfr v. 37). Non guardano la realtà! Credono di vedere e non vedono, di sapere e non sanno, di capire meglio degli altri e non capiscono… La realtà invece è tutt’altra, è quella che Gesù ha presente e che guida i suoi passi. La realtà è la croce, è il peccato del mondo che Lui è venuto a prendere su di sé e sradicare dalla terra degli uomini e delle donne.
