  • HISTORICAL ESSAYS About the Armenian Catholic Community in Armenia, Georgia and Oriental Europe
    HISTORICAL ESSAYS About the Armenian Catholic Community in Armenia, Georgia and Oriental Europe. Written by S. E. Archbishop Nerses Der-Nersessian 1. ORIGIN OF CATHOLICS IN ARMENIA The story of Armenian Catholics in Armenia and the Caucasus is long. There is no doubt that their roots go back many centuries and involve an interminable and controversial Christology concerning the Chalcedonies tradition. Historically, the Armenian Catholic community was characterized by migrations, which took place in the first quarter of the nineteenth century after the Russian– Turkish Adrianupol Alliance (1829). Seeking to escape the brutal conditions of the Ottoman Empire, Armenian Catholics left cities such as Karin-Erzerum, Alashkert and Mush and found sanctuary within the Russian Empire. New villages were created and the church was stabilized in the Shirak, Tashir and Lori regions of modern day Armenia, as well as in Javakhk, currently the Georgian provinces of Akhaltsikhe, Akhalkalaki and Ninodzminda (formerly Bogdanovka). Churches, schools and hospitals were built, organized by clergies and priests. They contributed to the Armenian Catholic Hierarchy with diocesan members and prominent monks educated in Mechitarist Congregation of Venice and Vienna and in Patriarchal Convent of Bzommar in Lebanon. The Armenian Catholic Church enjoyed a glorious century. Near the end of the nineteenth century, the Holy Seat of Rome created an ecclesiastical organization, and with the blessing of Russia’s imperial czarist government, designated the city of Saratov as the Armenian Catholics’ center. In 1909, Reverend Sarghis Der-Abrahamian [born Alexandrapol (currently Gümri) 1868, died Rome as an Archbishop 1952] was nominated Apostolic Administrator for Armenian Catholics in the Caucasus.

The various domains concerned by the Agreement on the revision of the Lateran Treaties and its implementation include aspects as diverse as ecclesias- tical tax, religious marriage and Catholic Religious Education (inseg- namento della religione cattolica, hereafter IRC).

  • Italian Cardinal Achille Silvestrini Dead at 95
    Italian Cardinal Achille Silvestrini dead at 95 VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Cardinal Achille Silvestrini, former prefect of the Congregation for Eastern Churches and a longtime Vatican diplomat, died at the age of 95. In a message of condolence to the family of the cardinal, who died Aug. 29 in Rome, Pope Francis noted that his decades at the Vatican included service to seven popes. He will be remembered for “a life spent in adhering to his vocation as a priest attentive to the needs of others, a skillful and adaptable diplomat and a pastor faithful to the Gospel and to the church,” Pope Francis said. Born in the northern Italian city of Brisighella, the future cardinal was ordained a priest in 1946 and subsequently received doctorates from the University of Bologna and the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome before entering the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy, which provides training to priests for eventual service in the Vatican diplomatic corps. As a member of the Vatican diplomatic corps, he focused on international issues concerning Vietnam, China, Indonesia and Southeast Asia. He also accompanied Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, then-Vatican secretary of state, to Moscow in 1971 to deliver the Holy See’s adhesion to the Treaty on the Non- Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. In 1979, he was named by St. John Paul II as secretary of the former Council for the Public Affairs of the Church, now known as the Section for Relations with States. As secretary, a position equivalent to foreign minister, he represented the Vatican on diplomatic missions to various countries, including Spain, Malta, Argentina, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Poland and Haiti.

GUILLAUME SILHOL GOVERNING CATHOLIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN ITALIAN STATE SCHOOLS: BETWEEN THE REVISION OF THE CONCORDAT AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS, 1974- 1984 SUMMARY This article focuses on the redefinition of Catholic Religious Education in Italian State schools, from compulsory religious instruction into a non-compulsory discipline of “religious culture”, by analyzing how the issue is framed and negotiated by political, religious and educational actors between 1974 and 1984. The negotiations between governmental and Church representatives in the revision of the Concordat led to attempts at a compromise on Religious Education, its regime and its guarantees for students’ choices. However, social movements and school reforms forced various actors and institutions to reframe it in non- confessional, pedagogical and professional terms in public arenas.

  • The Impact of Christian-Jewish Dialogue on Catholic Biblical Studies
    Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations Volume 3 (2008): CP1-5 CONFERENCE PROCEEDING The Impact of Christian-Jewish Dialogue on Catholic Biblical Studies Eugene J. Fisher, Associate Director Emeritus Secretariat For Ecumenical and Interreligious Studies, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Delivered at Catholic Historical Association, January 2008 The origin of this essay lies in 1943, with Pope Pius XII’s encyclical, Divino Afflante Spiritu. Just as Mystici Corporus, also issued by Pius in 1943, was a precursor of Lumen Gentium by advancing beyond the neoscholastic ecclesiologies of the time and re-embedding the Catholic Church in history, so in Divino Afflante Spiritu Pius XII called for a “fresh investigation” of scripture, freeing Catholic biblical scholars for the first time to apply biblical-critical methodology to the understanding of Sacred Scripture. This in turn made possible the fresh interpretations of Scripture, especially Romans 9-11, which Cardinal Augustin Bea included so effectively in Nostra Aetate. Bea, of course, was a biblical scholar whose work was profoundly influenced by Pius’ 1943 encyclical, and so was able to accept John XXIII’s mandate that the Council take up the question of the Catholic Church’s understanding of its relationship with the Jewish People armed with and ready for new understandings of New Testament texts long interpreted as solely negative about Jews and Judaism. An excellent series of papers on the history and significance of Nostra Aetate has recently been published. It is based on the proceedings of an international conference on the subject held in Jerusalem in 2005 in conjunction with the fortieth anniversary of the promulgation of the document on October 28, 1965.1 I will not repeat that history, save for identifying several points of interest.
