It focuses on the Catholics’ commitment to per- meating the army, with the foundation of clubs and the printing of texts containing instructions and prayers for the spiritual training of enlisted men. These books show a more patriotic inspiration than their predecessors, because for the Roman Church conquering the army meant conquering the Italian unitary state. In particular, the arti- cle reconstructs the role of the Jesuit Carlo Massaruti, the author of a book for soldiers and promoter of an association for recruits before the war. The chaplains and priest- soldiers mobilized, however, were many and various. Their experience is highlighted in L’Eco dei nostri militari, a bulletin founded by the Roman province of the Society, which published the correspondence between the priests on the front and their provincial superiors. These letters furnish a vivid fresco of the work done by the Jesuits alongside the soldiers.

  • Documents from the Vatican Secret Archives Concerning the Pontificate of Benedict XV the Positiones of the Consistorial Congregation
    Le pontificat romain dans l’époque contemporaine The Papacy in the Contemporary Age sous la direction de | edited by Giovanni Vian Documents from the Vatican Secret Archives Concerning the Pontificate of Benedict XV The Positiones of the Consistorial Congregation Alejandro M. Dieguez (Archivio Segreto Vaticano, Città del Vaticano, Italia) Abstract This brief overview sheds light on certain aspects of Benedict XV’s pontificate: the condi- tions of dioceses and the bishops’ pastoral governance; the monitoring of religious practices and the particular needs of specific regions and nations; and the supervision of disciplinary matters regarding preaching and the clergy’s participation in politics or social life (i.e. dancing parties or membership at associations such as the Knights of Columbus). Through a review of primary sources, this contribu- tion demonstrates a growing attention toward the non-European world manifested by the Church’s concern for emigrants as well as through an interest in Protestant proselytism. Furthermore, specific records indicate a gradual process of modernization taking place within the Church: for example, the projection of films in churches or the clergy’s use of modern means of transportation. Summary 1 Introductory Remarks – 1.1 The Activities of the Consistorial Congregation According to the Areas of Its Competence. – 1.2 The Personal Positions and the Scrupulous Search for Suitable Candidates for the Episcopacy. – 1.3 The Positions on the State of the Dioceses and on the Pastoral Governance of the Bishops.

Padre Agostino Gemelli and the crusade to rechristianize Italy, 1878–1959: Part one Abstract Padre Agostino Gemelli (1878-1959) was an outstanding figure in Catholic culture and a shrewd operator on many levels in Italy, especially during the Fascist period. Yet he remains little examined or understood. Scholars tend to judge him solely in light of the Fascist regime and mark him as the archetypical clerical fascist. Gemelli founded the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan in 1921, the year before Mussolini came to power, in order to form a new leadership class for a future Catholic state. This religiously motivated political goal was intended to supersede the anticlerical Liberal state established by the unifiers of modern Italy in 1860. After Mussolini signed the Lateran Pacts with the Vatican in 1929, Catholicism became the officialeligion r of Italy and Gemelli’s university, under the patronage of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939), became a laboratory for Catholic social policies by means of which the church might bring the Fascist state in line with canon law and papal teachings.

  • The Neapolita Case the Aim of My Talk Is to Sketch the Situation of Journals
    The Neapolita case The aim of my talk is to sketch the situation of journals in Naples, pointing out those, which in my opinion, could be investigated in the spirit of Cirmath, and which can be inserted in the database. This is just a survey, to understand what kind of math journals were printed in Naples. I must say that to look for journals in Naples isn’t simple. For during the second world war part of the archives of public institutions have been destroyed. The fate of Neapolitan publishing is tied to the political history of the Kingdom of Naples. 22 January 1799 “Jacobin” Republic 23 June 1799 First Bourbon Restoration French decade 1806- 1815 1806-1808 Giuseppe Bonaparte 1808-1815 Giocchino Murat 1815/1816 Second Bourbon Restoration Insurrections and subsequent violent 1820 e 1848 Bourbon repression 1860 Unification of Italy The scientific publishing industry was very prosperous untill to the first two decades of the nineteenth century, many monographs and translations of foreign books were published. The situation changed after the insurection of 1820 and the consequent violent repression of the Bourbons. In 1822 a Decree, imposing a strong duty on the importation of books, greatly influenced Neapolitan publishing. The price of italians and foreign books increased, then consequently these books disappeared from libraries; especially the scientific and technical books which, due to their nature , were subject to constant changes. In this period the number of printers increased from 33 in 1806 to 120 in 1833. What happens ? It happens that many booksellers became also printers, due to difficult economic conditions.

  • Mysteries of Papal Elections
    Cracking the Conclave Code: Unraveling the Mysteries of Papal Elections Adam J. R. Brickley As the leader of the world’s Catholics, the pope is one of the most powerful men in the world. However, the conclaves in which popes are elected remain poorly understood by the general public and the political science community. Hence, most attempts to predict their outcomes fail. This paper identifies key dynamics of these elections in order to make it possible to predict their results. A historical analysis of recent conclaves is used to determine whether conclaves produce results according to discernable patterns, and an in-depth analysis of the 2005 conclave will reveal the political dynamics within the College of Cardinals. Results indicate that it is possible to make several concrete predictions about the outcomes of future conclaves. While it may be impossible to determine the next pope’s exact identity, this study shows that it may be possible to determine his age, region of origin, and ideology. The date is July 17th, 2013, and the world is about to be shocked. It has been two weeks since the death of Pope Benedict XVI, and the cardinals of the Catholic Church have spent three days engaged in a conclave to elect his successor. The white smoke announcing the election of a pope billows out of the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, followed a half hour later by the announcement that Cardinal Telesphore Toppo of India has just been elected as Pope Leo XIV. The “expert” analysts on CNN are dumbfounded and speechless. None of them had thought that Toppo would receive votes, let alone become pope.
