  • A Pope in the Footsteps of a Saint 1. an Encyclical Drawing Worldwide
    The Dream of Franciscus - A Pope in the Footsteps of a Saint 1. An encyclical drawing worldwide attention Pope Francis has recently called on Catholic faithful worldwide to participate in the "International Day of the Fraternity of All People" on February 4th. This UN Day of Remembrance is being celebrated for the first time this year. It is the result of a joint initiative of Pope Francis and Egyptian Grand Imam Ahmad al-Tayyeb, including also an online meeting with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres. The date commemorates the signing of a document by Pope Francis and Grand Imam al-Tayyeb in Abu Dhabi in 2019, with which the two religious leaders promote global solidarity and peaceful coexistence. This has a specific importance, as presently the term “Islam” is very often only heard in connection with words like “Islamistic” or even worse “terroristic”. Two weeks ago the renowned Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich wrote in a guest article for L'Osservatore Romano about a current book of the Pope. "Let Us Dream!" is doing a kind of translation work on the previously published encyclical "Fratelli tutti". The Pope almost gives the impression "as if he wants to make sure that everyone really understands that he also wants to overcome borders in his papal office and calls on us all to do the same in our area of responsibility". That encyclical can also be read as a "sum of Francis' pontificate so far", "as a sum of what he wants to write in the family tree of the world, and also of the Church itself".

  • Fallible Authority1
    Fallible Authority1 Adrian Suter Department of Old Catholic Theology, University of Bern, Switzerland [email protected] Abstract Old Catholic theologians have often underlined the relationship between papal supremacy and infallibility and the priority of the former: The pope has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, therefore he must be obeyed – at the same time, he may be obeyed, because he will not mislead the Church due to his infallibility. The article analyses this relationship, applying differentiations on two axes: On the one hand, Bocheński’s typology of epistemic and deontic authority, on the other hand, the notion of personal, formal and constitutional authority. The fact that the infallibility dogma of Vatican I considers papal authority at the same time as epistemic and constitutional, is identified as a major weakness of the dogma. The article will then approach the question how church leaders should practise their deontic authority in a context where their (and everybody else’s) epistemic authority is considered fallible. Keywords Authority, Infallibility, Vatican I, Old Catholic Church Authority, the way it is understood in this article, is a quality of a person or body, who may be | downloaded: 2.10.2021 called the bearer of authority, which leads other persons or bodies to accept the said bearer’s statements and/or follow his/her instructions. These latter persons or bodies might be called followers of authority. The source of this quality, the difference between accepting statements on the one hand and following instructions on the other, as well as the question of acceptance or non-acceptance of claimed authority, will be discussed in this paper.

  • Medieval Women's Letters, 1000–1400
    K. Neal & C. Monagle, ‘From Latin to the Vernacular: Medieval Women’s Letters, 1000– 1400’. Pre-review draft. From Latin to the Vernacular: Medieval Women’s Letters, 1000–1400 Between about 1000 and 1400, women across Europe used letters to console, cajole, petition, patronize, inform and inquire. They wrote to protect the interests of their family, to gain protection or freedom for their monastery, to admonish and advise people in authority, to seek patronage and advice, and to forge alliances. The letters that remain from medieval European women are thus a rich resource. They offer a vista upon the ways in which some women – typically elites – were able to negotiate the world in which they lived, and the hierarchies into which they were born. As communicative tools, designed for a recipient, they can reveal much about relationships in a given period and, by reading them, we can glimpse how the sender constructed her place in the world in relation to those around her. We can also see the strategies she deployed in her efforts to secure outcomes for herself and her household. Given that in this period sources written by men dominate the extant record, the letters of medieval women, taken collectively, offer a unique chance to explore how women constructed their own authority and managed their affairs. The centuries following 1000 CE witnessed the consolidation or emergence of major institutions of patriarchal authority, such as the papacy, royal administrative bodies and universities, and most textual production therefore favoured male interests. The growing needs of these institutions probably catalyzed the codification of letter writing norms and prompted the development of formal avenues for training in epistolarity which were in turn monopolized by men.
