He was a precocious youth who exhibited many of the qualities that would characterize his adult life: a remarkable memory, an elusive reserve often mistaken as coldness, a natural and developed ability as a writer and word smith --- "he spoke with the dictionary," a devoted student, an admirer of culture and literature, and a lack of enthusiasm for superficial pursuits. He was sickly for much of his youth, and there was concern that his ill health would interfere with his priestly ministry. His father, Giorgio, was a prominent Italian lawyer, publisher, and activist. His mother, Giuditta, was extensively involved in Catholic social work and activism. His elder brother was an attorney and politician, his younger brother a doctor. He grew up in a staunchly Catholic province in Italy called Brescia. Giovanni Montini was ordained a priest on May 19, 1920. His pre-diplomatic priestly service left him with a great understanding and affection for workers, youth, and the poor. In tandem with Monsignor Domenico Tardini he operated as Pope Pius XII's Secretary of State from 1939 through 1954, when he became Archbishop of Milan. He was made a cardinal by Pope John XXIII in 1958, and became pope on June 21, 1963. Pau’s Papacy Pope Paul guided the Roman Catholic Church through a tumultuous time in its history. His predecessor, John XXIII, had called an ecumenical council (Vatican Council II, 1962-1965) for the purpose of modernizing and redefining the Church, but died in the middle of it. Paul helped set the stage for Vatican Council II with his October 18, 1962 letter to Amleto Cicognani, Secretary of State to Pope John XXIII, and was elected as a candidate who was thought capable of keeping the Council from spinning out of control while reconciling conservative and progressive forces within the Church. Paul guided the Council to its completion and made numerous though largely unpublicized contributions. Paul mostly succeeded in implementing the Council. Although many priests, religious, and lay persons left the Church in the wake of the shock, disillusion, miscommunication, and aberrations that accompanied the post-conciliar transition, no major schisms occurred, and the Church regained touch with the modern world. Paul’s ability to preserve the Church's integrity, tradition, and unity amid tumultuous change and conflict is testimony to his skills as a diplomat and administrator. One of the most impressive pastoral dimensions of Paul’s papacy was his compassion for Catholics who were unable to live up to their vows as a priest, nun, or married person. Paul decentralized the annulment process by granting authority to local marriage tribunals, and simplified the process for laicizing priests and nuns. He implemented these pastoral policies while affirming the ideals and responsibilities underlying these vocational commitments and encouraging individuals to fulfill them. As Peter Hebblethwaite points out in Paul VI (Paulist Press, 1993, p. 441), "Some said that if Pope John's key word was aggiornamento (updating), Paul's motto was avvicinamento, coming closer to people. He had found a new way to address all people of good will." Little Known Facts About Paul VI 4 He studied for the priesthood from home, became Archbishop without ever serving as a parish priest, and though not yet a Cardinal was seriously considered for the papacy in 1958. He was known as the Pilgrim Pope because of his extensive travels. He broke with the Papal precedent of staying inside Italy and traveled to Africa, India, the Holy Land, Australia, South America, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and America. He was the first reigning pope to visit America. Paul’s firm but non-confrontational policy of dialogue and negotiation with the iron curtain countries --- seeking religious freedom concessions whenever possible --- referred to as Ostpolitik or East politics, created a foundation from which Pope John Paul II would help bring down Communism in Eastern Europe. Always sensitive to cultural considerations, in 1966 Paul released Catholics from the obligation of refraining from meat on Fridays (except in Lent) providing that they substitute an appropriate means of fasting and asceticism in recollection of the Lord’s death on Good Friday. Sadly, few paid attention beyond his retraction of the meat prohibition. Paul helped reduce hostilities during the Viet Nam War by bringing the parties to the negotiating table for the Paris Peace Talks in 1968.1 In 1970, Paul survived an assassination attempt at the Manila airport by Benjamin Mendoza y Amor, a deranged Bolivian known locally as “the mad painter”. Mendoza attacked Paul with a foot long double-edged knife, but was thwarted by Paul’s secretary, Don Pasquale Macchi and Bishop Galvin of Singapore. Like John Paul II, Paul VI immediately forgave his attacker.2 Sadly, Monsignor Macchi, who was with Paul at his deathbed and was executor of his estate, passed away on April 5, 2006. Monsignor Macchi was gracious enough to send me a letter of support and an offer of assistance along with a copy of a book on Paul VI that he published in Italian in 2001. Paul's Times Pope Paul VI helped shape his and our era. Recall what was going on in the world at the time of his pontificate (1963-78): 1)The assassinations of President Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro. 2) The expansion of the women's and civil rights movements with the goal of equal rights. 3) The Viet Nam conflict. 4) Watergate. 5) The energy crisis. 6) Several middle eastern wars and continuous unrest. 7) The heightening of the arms race and oppressive policies of the Soviet Union. 8) China’s increased engagement in diplomatic and trade relations with the west. 9) The murder of the Israeli hostages at the 1972 Olympics. 10) The rise of the youth culture highlighted in the media by the soaring popularity of the Beatles that coincided approximately with the death of President Kennedy. 1 Ibid, pp. 505-513. 2 Ibid, pp. 568-569. 5 Paul’s Signature Contributions John Paul II deservedly receives much credit for his innovative teachings in the area of sexuality and married life. His “theology of the body” continues to be the subject of much reflection, application, and study at all levels of the Church. Paul VI has three such trademark contributions, in the areas of communications, evangelization, and human development and spirituality. His teachings span the beginning and end of his pontificate, and are a significant part of his papal charter and legacy. Paul’s first encyclical, Ecclesiam Suam (“Paths of the Church”, August 6, 1964), is a treatise on the art of dialogue and communications. It deals with both internal and external relations --- within the Church and with the world, the sacred and the secular realms. His final pastoral letter, the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Nuntiandi (“On Evangelization in the Modern World”, December 8, 1975), places dialogue in the context of the primary mission of the Church, that of spreading the good news, and links conversion to evangelization. Communication and conversion must go together in order to avoid ego blockages; selfishness is the enemy of solidarity. Paul’s watershed encyclical Populorum Progressio (“On the Development of Peoples”, March 26, 1967) not only changed the face and direction of Catholic social teaching, but made a significant contribution to global socio-economic policy considerations. Economists, social activists, and politicians took note of Paul’s masterpiece because it was original and articulated in a comprehensible and non-partisan manner. In 1965, Paul also composed a beautiful reflection on life and its possibilities as part of his last will and testament. This essay is found in the Human Development chapter. Paul built upon Populorum Progressio with Octogesima Adveniens (“A Call to Action”, May 14, 1971), an Apostolic Letter that developed the insights of Populorum Progressio while recognizing the diversity of cultural situations and the importance of local adaptations. Paul’s second to last Apostolic Exhortation, Gaudete in Domini (“On Christian Joy”, May 9, 1975), focused on the spirituality necessary for human fulfillment and development, and his last major public address, a prayer offered at the funeral of Paul’s old friend, Aldo Moro (the former Italian prime minister and then leader of the Christian Democratic Party who was abducted and assassinated by the terrorist group The Red Brigades) bewailed the mystery of suffering, which paradoxically constitutes both the greatest obstacle and impetus to faith, fulfillment, and development. Paul’s exhortations, insights, and compassion can help it be the latter for us. Paul was actively involved in the attempted negotiations to free Aldo Moro from his kidnappers, and even offered to exchange himself for the hostage. His prayer at the funeral mass for Aldo Moro constitutes a modern psalm, an affirmation of faith and hope amid an outcry of grief and disappointment. Paul’s lament consoled and united, if only temporarily, the grief- stricken and divided nation of Italy, just as he had united the Church amid a divisive period.

  • What Is an Apostolic Exhortation? It's a Papal Document That Exhorts
    ‘Evangelii Gaudium’ and ‘Laudato Si’ All creation “groans in travail” (Rom 8:22) How are we called to a deeper conversion? What is an apostolic exhortation? A papal document that encourages the faithful to implement a particular aspect of the Church’s life and teaching. What is an encyclical? A part of the ordinary magisterium (teaching authority) of the Church Evangelii Gaudium (English: The Joy of the Gospel) is a 2013 apostolic exhortation by Pope Francis on "the church's primary mission of evangelization in the modern world." Evangelii Gaudium What is Pope Francis’ main message in Evangelii Gaudium? The principal theme involves the need for a joyful proclamation of the Gospel to the entire world. “…an Apostolic Exhortation written around the theme of Christian joy in order that the Church may rediscover the original source of evangelisation in the contemporary world” In Evangelii Gaudium Pope Francis’ expresses: Concern that the Church is becoming more judgmental than merciful. He wants a Church that has the outgoing spirit of the pilgrim, as opposed to a Church closed in on itself, languishing in ‘institutional inertia’ He worries that some Catholics have become too attached to the external forms of the faith, while their hearts have grown cold. 6 insights provided by Pope Francis, in EG: 1 God’s inexhaustible mercy. 2 The way of beauty. 3 The ‘revolution of tenderness.’ 4 Humility before Scripture. 5 The wounds of Christ. 6 ‘Faith is always a cross.’ God’s inexhaustible mercy. We are called to renew our commitment to mercy as an external work “The Eucharist, although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak.” The way of beauty.

Powell, Associate Professor of Political Science, Leadership Studies Sol Goldman, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Political Science Copyright 2014 Katherine M. Campbell Abstract: Scholars have debated Pope Pius XII’s role in the Holocaust since the 1960s. Did he do everything he could and should have done to save Jews? His critics say no because of antisemitism rooted in the traditional Catholic views. His defenders say yes and deny that he was an antisemite. In my thesis, I shall assess the arguments on both sides in terms of the available evidence. I shall focus both on what Pius XII did do and what he did not do and on the degree to which he can be held responsible for the actions of low-level clergy.

Decanus instanter petit ut singuli professores suas de rebus in Concilio propositiones notam faciant.1 Th ese words are to be found in the report of the Faculty Council meeting of Leuven’s Faculty of Th eology and Canon Law dated October 9, 1959. While it may appear to have little signifi cance, it serves nevertheless as an interesting point of departure for our study of the preparatory phases of Vatican II. A closer examination of the notes taken on the occasion by dean Joseph Coppens2 reveals that a circular letter from Cardinal Domenico Tardini3 had apparently been addressed to the rectors of the Catholic universities. Leuven’s rector van Waeyenbergh4 did little more than pass the letter—which invited the theological faculties of the Roman Catholic universities to make their wishes known to the Antepre- paratory Conciliar Commission5—on to the dean of the Th eology 1 CSVII ASFT, 1957–62, p. 44. 2 Joseph Coppens (1896–1981), priest of the diocese of Ghent, professor of Biblical Exegesis at the Leuven Th eological Faculty and dean of the Faculty.

The Church in Asia sings the praises of the "God of salvation" (Ps 68:20) for choosing to initiate his saving plan on Asian soil, through men and women of that continent. It was in fact in Asia that God revealed and fulfilled his saving purpose from the beginning. He guided the patriarchs (cf. Gen 12) and called Moses to lead his people to freedom (cf. Ex 3:10). He spoke to his chosen people through many prophets, judges, kings and valiant women of faith. In "the fullness of time" (Gal 4:4), he sent his only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ the Saviour, who took flesh as an Asian! Exulting in the goodness of the continent's peoples, cultures, and religious vitality, and conscious at the same time of the unique gift of faith which she has received for the good of all, the Church in Asia cannot cease to proclaim: "Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, for his love endures for ever" (Ps 118:1). Because Jesus was born, lived, died and rose from the dead in the Holy Land, that small portion of Western Asia became a land of promise and hope for all mankind.

  • Important Church Writings…
    Important Church Writings… Official documents of the Catholic Church have evolved and differentiated over time, but commonly come from four basic sources: 1) Papal documents, issued directly by the Pope under his own name; 2) Church Council documents, issued by ecumenical councils of the Church and now promulgated under the Pope's name, taking the same form as common types of papal documents; and 3) Bishops documents, issued either by individual bishops or by national conferences of bishops. The types of each are briefly explained below. Not all types of documents are necessarily represented currently in this Bibliography. The level of magisterial authority pertaining to each type of document - particularly those of the Pope - is no longer always self- evident. A Church document may (and almost always does) contain statements of different levels of authority commanding different levels of assent, or even observations which do not require assent as such, but still should command the respect of the faithful. The Second Vatican Council, speaking through Lumen Gentium (The Dogmatic Constitution on the Church) identified as many as four different kinds of authority (n. 25). Those affirmations of the Second Vatican Council that recall truths of the faith naturally require the assent of theological faith, not because they were taught by this Council but because they have already been taught infallibly as such by the Church, either by a solemn judgment or by the ordinary and universal Magisterium. So also a full and definitive assent is required for the other doctrines set forth by the Second Vatican Council which have already been proposed by a previous definitive act of the Magisterium.

  • 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.
