    International Journal of Orthodox Theology 8:3 (2017) 203 urn:nbn:de:0276-2017-3075 Gavril Trifa The Dialogue between Religion and Science in Today’s World from the View of Orthodox Spirituality Abstract One of the core issues of today’s world, the dialogue between science and religion has recently come to the attention of new fields of knowledge, which points to a change in some of the “classical” elements. Having a different history in the East and the West, in Catholic and Orthodox Christianity, the relation between faith and science has lived through some problematic centuries, marked by the attempt of some scientific domains to prove the universe’s materialist ontology and thus the uselessness of religion. This paper aims to present an overview of the Rev. Assist. Prof. Ph.D. stages that marked the often radical Gavril Trifa, Faculty of separation of science from religion, by Orthodox Theology of the highlighting the mutations recorded West University of Timi- during the past few decades not only şoara, Romania 204 Gavril Trifa in society but also in the lives of the young, as a result of the unprecedented development of technology. With technology failing to raise both communication and interpersonal communication to the anticipated level, recent research does not hesitate in emphasizing the unfavourable consequences bring about by the development of the means of communication, regarding the human being’s relation to oneself and one’s neighbours. The solutions we have identified enable an update of the patristic model concerning the relation between religion and science, in the spirit of humility, the one that can bring the Light of life.

  • UNDERSTANDING PAUL the Insights of Dom Columba Marmion and Elisabeth of the Trinity
    CELIA KOURIE UNDERSTANDING PAUL The Insights of Dom Columba Marmion and Elisabeth of the Trinity Joseph Columba Marmion (1858-1923) and Elisabeth Catez (1880-1906) – both great lovers of the apostle Paul, and both devoted to the Trinity – what do they have to teach us in today’s secular society? What message can they impart to many who may never have experienced the richness of scripture or the won- der of the divine life in the depths of the human person?1 It is interesting to note that apart from sharing a deep spirituality, based on the ‘gospel’ of Paul, particularly the mystery of living ‘in Christ’ and sharing his divine life, there are one or two incidents in the lives of both Marmion and Elisabeth that bear a certain resemblance. Firstly, both had a mystical experi- ence in their young adulthood which, while it was not dramatic, remained with them for the remainder of their lives, and supported them throughout the var- ious trials of the Christian, and particularly the religious, life.2 Secondly, both experienced a time of distress and doubt just before their commitment to their chosen path.3 Elisabeth died at a very young age, but left behind a spiritual legacy in the form of some occasional writings, one or two treatises, some poetry and a large correspondence – 346 letters written to people in all walks of life. In fact, of the 57 people that Elisabeth wrote to, 50 were lay persons. Dom 1 One of the more recent works on Dom Marmion is by Mark Tierney, Dom Columba Marmion: A biography, Dublin 1994.

  • Spiritual Theology by JORDAN AUMANN, O.P
    Spiritual Theology By JORDAN AUMANN, O.P. Preface The present volume was written in response to numerous requests for a complete and definitive work on Christian spirituality. It is not an entirely new work, however, for some sections are taken substantially from The Theology of Christian Perfection by Antonio Royo and Jordan Aumann, published in 1962 by Priory Press. Spiritual theology is both speculative and practical, but it is eminently practical because it deals with Christian life in relation to the perfection of charity. Consequently, the study of the theology of Christian perfection should proceed scientifically and systematically, although its aim is not to produce scholars but to form holy Christians. Therefore the first part of this volume investigates the theological principles of Christian holiness; the second part deduces from those principles the general directives by which souls can be guided in their journey to the goal of the Christian life. The theology contained in this volume is based on the spiritual doctrine of three Doctors of the Church: St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John of the Cross, and St. Teresa of Avila. Moreover, it is fully in accord with the teaching of John G. Arintero and Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange. A final word of thanks is due to Laura Gillet, John Osman, Michael Balaria, and Sister Veronica Marie. They were most generous in contributing their time and labor in the typing of the manuscript. JORDAN AUMANN. O.P. In Spiritual Theology Father Jordan Aumann dispels the common misconception that ascetical and mystical theology is for the select few. He reminds us that "the real purpose of the study of the spiritual life is not to produce scholars but to form holy Christians." Basing much of his work on St.

  • The Virgin and the Basilisk - a Study of Medieval Women and Their Social Roles in Iacopone Da Todi’S (1230/36-1306) Laude.1
    THE VIRGIN AND THE BASILISK - A STUDY OF MEDIEVAL WOMEN AND THEIR SOCIAL ROLES IN IACOPONE DA TODI’S (1230/36-1306) LAUDE.1 Annamaria Laviola Lund University During his lifetime, the Franciscan Iacopone da Todi (1230/36-1306) wrote a number of poems now known under the collective name of Laude. Influenced by different literary styles, such as Sicilian-Tuscan and differentiating itself from the Franciscan literary production of its time, Iacopone’s Laude discuss both religious and secular matters.2 This article is a study of the collection and the information for the modern reader about urban Italian women and their social roles in the thirteenth century, focusing on the following research questions: What are women’s different social roles according to the Laude? How are these roles constructed and described? In what ways does a study of the Laude help the historian to understand the ambivalent relation(s) within and between women’s roles in medieval society? Historiography Italian scholars writing during the second half of the twentieth century studied the Laude in order to answer questions of theological and literary character. Alvaro Bizziccari’s article on the concept of mystical love in the Laude, Franco Mancini’s focus on the variety of themes discussed by Iacopone and Elena Landoni’s study of the different literary styles that can be found in the Laude are but a few examples of this tendency.3 Even though much of the (Italian) scholarly interest for Iacopone da Todi has focused on subjects related to theology and literature, in recent years both Italian and international scholars have started to analyse other aspects of the texts.

  • CONCLUSION in a Rather Famous Lauda by the Franciscan Poet
    CONCLUSION In a rather famous lauda by the Franciscan poet Jacopo Benedetti (c. 1236–1306), better known as Jacopone (Big John) da Todi, he assails his brethren in Paris who he says “demolish Assisi stone by stone.” “That’s the way it is, not a shred left of the spirit of the Rule! […] With all their theol- ogy they’ve led the Order down a crooked path.”1 It is a complaint to which Jacopone returns many times in his writing.2 “Assisi” in this case seems to reflect the spiritual or, as David Burr says, a rigorist’s view of Franciscan virtue, which was basically centered on the ideals of evangelical poverty, charity, and penance. “Paris,” on the other hand, represents the arrogance of educated Friars—“an elite with special status and privileges” who looked down on their brothers.3 The conflict of the 1290s, when most of Jacopone’s laude were written, sing of struggles within the Order that go back to the 1220s, to a time when the friars were first grappling with their identity; and, as I have shown, this involved their chanting and preaching—the two aspects of the Franciscan mission of music that I have examined in this study. In Chapter One we saw that while the Regula non Bullata (Earlier Rule) of 1221 required all Franciscan friars to celebrate the Divine Offices, albeit in distinctive forms, the Regula Bullata (Later Rule) of 1223 privileged the clerical brothers as singers of the rite according to the Roman church.4 The Earlier Rule would not exclude the lay brothers from preaching, so long as they did not preach against the rites and practices of the Church and had the permission of the minister.5 But this was emended in the Later Rule, making preaching incumbent only on friars who had been properly examined, approved, and had “the office of preacher […] 1 “Tale qual è, tal è;/ non ci è relïone./ Mal vedemo Parisi,/ che àne destrutt’Asisi:/ co la lor lettoria messo l’ò en mala via.” [That’s the way it is—not a shred left of the spirit of the Rule! In sorrow and grief I see Paris demolish Assisi, stone by stone.

  • The Jesus Caritas Fraternities in the United States: the Early History 1963 – 1973
    PO BOX 763 • Franklin Park, IL 60131 • [P] 260-786-JESU (5378) Website: www.JesusCaritasUSA.org • [E] [email protected] THE JESUS CARITAS FRATERNITIES IN THE UNITED STATES: THE EARLY HISTORY 1963 – 1973 by Father Juan Romero INTRODUCTION At the national retreat for members of the Jesus Caritas Fraternity of priests, held at St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo, California in July 2010, Father Jerry Devore of Bridgeport, Connecticut asked me, in the name of the National Council, to write an early history of Jesus Caritas in the United States. (For that retreat, almost fifty priests from all over the United States had gathered for a week within the Month of Nazareth, in which a smaller number of priests were participating for the full month.) This mini-history is to complement A New Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Msgr. Bryan Karvelis of Brooklyn, New York (RIP), and the American Experience of Jesus Caritas Fraternities by Father Dan Danielson of Oakland, California. It proposes to record the beginnings of the Jesus Caritas Fraternities in the USA over its first decade of existence from 1963 to 1973, and it will mark the fifth anniversary of the beatification of the one who inspired them, Little Brother Blessed Charles de Foucault. It purports to be an “acts of the apostles” of some of the Jesus Caritas Fraternity prophets and apostles in the USA, a collective living memory of this little- known dynamic dimension of the Church in the United States. It is not an evaluation of the Fraternity, much less a road map for its future growth and development.
