MCGILL-QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY PRESS Y - 2 2 1 : s e g a P EDITORIAL0416 13/04/16 10.46 Pagina 3 EDITORIAL A BOUNDLESS QUESTION here is a portion of the world that we look at rarely, and even then, only spo- radically. We do so on particular occasions, for example, when protestors, for or against Lula, filled the streets in Brazil, or when Barack Obama made a historic visit to Cuba at the end of March, or when Pope Francis makes a pilgrimage, which is always impressive and thought-provoking, as was the case in February in Mexico. But in general, Latin America is out of sight and out of mind. TAnd yet the world of Latin America is one close to our own culture and tradition. Its history is the child of our own Western history, a broad, perhaps somewhat tired category, but still useful for understanding ourselves. Also, this continent has given us our Pope who, as he himself said immediately after the election three years ago, his “brother Cardinals” went “almost to the ends of the earth” to get. For these reasons, we have decided to see what it means to live the faith there, in that world, to see what difference Christianity can make, how it can help life in such a difficult and harsh context, perhaps more so than many others. A context full of worries and fear of losing tranquillity, of wounds, pain, and dramatic situations, teetering under our feet, as is happening in other parts of “our” West, as you can read in the pages that follow. This context never, or almost never, enjoys “tranquillity.” It is not a part of the picture. Whether it is the daily violence in certain areas of Mexico, or the looming poverty that asphyxiates Venezuela, the misery of the Brazilian favelas or the villas of Buenos Aires, life is always pressing and challenging. So then, what can we learn by looking at this world? What can we discover about the Pope, the faith, and ourselves? These questions are important because there is nothing more crucial for life than finding something–someone–able to embrace all of it, in all its drama, especially now, in these times. A few weeks ago we witnessed the terrible attacks in Brussels; once again terror, once again blood in the heart of Europe and in the midst of Holy Week. In a letter to the Italian newspaper, Corriere della Sera (which you will find on page 15), Julián Carrón, the leader of CL, asked a question that we all feel: “How can we look at these facts, as women and men, without yielding to bewilderment or rage? Only if we do not block out the urgent need for meaning, for a why... The more lacerating the pain, the more boundless is the question, the prayer of entreaty, that we sense within.” He indicated a point to look at: Easter, that is, the Mercy of God. There, “Christ offers Himself as the response worthy of the boundless prayer of entreaty for a why, and at the same time communicates to us that energy without which we cannot recover.” This is what we can learn looking at those who already live this experience.

  • Caritas in Veritate and Chiara Lubich: Human Development from the Vantage Point of Unity
    Theological Studies 71 (2010) CARITAS IN VERITATE AND CHIARA LUBICH: HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FROM THE VANTAGE POINT OF UNITY AMELIA J. UELMEN Within the vibrant life of the Catholic Church today, many currents of spirituality and specific projects can shed light on the encyclical’s themes and provide examples of what its principles might look like in practice. This note focuses on how Chiara Lubich’s spirituality of unity might offer a helpful way for people to understand how to live these principles in their everyday lives. It also discusses how the “Economy of Communion” and other concrete projects and prac- tices of Focolare, the movement Lubich founded, foster economic justice and human development. T A CERTAIN POINT in his marvelous and still timely essay on love, AJosef Pieper struggled with whether the idea of universal love might make any practical difference in the world. He wrote: On the one hand, universal human love cannot accomplish anything practical in the world; man’s historical predicaments cannot be solved by love. But on the other hand . universal love is not simply an unrealistic fantasy. Rather it is an innate potentiality reminiscent, as it were, of paradise, which is revealed for a moment solely in the exceptional figures of great lovers [such as Francis of Assisi].1 One might trace a similar skepticism in some of the initial commentary on Caritas in veritate. For example, for George Weigel it was not immedi- ately clear how poverty might be defeated through “increasing openness, in a world context, to forms of economic activity marked by quotas of AMELIA J.

  • The Core of a Sustainable City
    The human being: the core of a sustainable city “The human being: the core of a sustainable city” Rio+20, 19 June 2012, 19:30-21:00 P3-E, Riocentro Convention Center, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil THE HUMAN BEING: THE CORE OF A SUSTAINABLE CITY 1. FOREWORD The case dealt with in this paper is a development project that took place at Salvador Bahia, Brazil, between 2001 and 2006. The “protagonist” is AVSI1, an Italian NGO of Catholic inspiration linked 2 with the Communion and Liberation movement. This project is defined as “urban upgrading” in the terminology of cooperation for development and consists of the integration in the city of informal areas or “favelas”. It is part of a process that began in the early 1990s, when Card. Moreira Neves, The Archbishop of Salvador Bahia, struck by the inhuman living conditions of the inhabitants of the favela of Novos Alagados, requested the help of AVSI who had been collaborating with pastoral initiatives to improve and legalize the living conditions of the favela population in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. That was the beginning of AVSI’s charitable presence in Novos Alagados, with educational activities, in a favela inhabited by 15,000 people, 30% of whom lived in houses built on pile- dwellings (palafittes) along the bay shoreline. The advantage of such shanties was that nobody owned them or the area, so it was possible to occupy them. Through a series of steps, this charitable activity developed into such a sizeable project that it now affects the living conditions of 500,000 inhabitants of the Bahia favelas.

  • Fishers of Men
    Page 1 of 2 Fishers of Men Fishers of Men By the Honorable Senator Rick Santorum Like most American Catholics, I have followed the recent sex scandals in the Church with profound sympathy for victims, revulsion over priests who prey on minors and frustration at the absence of hierarchical leadership. Unlike most, I have been visited by the gift of hope; for I see in this fall an opportunity for ecclesial rebirth and a new evangelization of America. This "new evangelization," advocated strenuously by Pope John Paul II, has the potential for restoring confidence in the priesthood while empowering all American Catholics. The most obvious change must occur within American seminaries, many of which demonstrate the same brand of cultural liberalism plaguing our secular universities. My hope was rekindled last week as our American Cardinals proposed from Rome an "apostolic visitation" of seminaries emphasizing "the need for fidelity to the Church's teaching, especially in the area of morality." It is an arduous task. However, the Pope made it clear last week that he expects the strong appeal of the Cardinals to be followed by decisive Episcopal action. It is startling that those in the media and academia appear most disturbed by this aberrant behavior, since they have zealously promoted moral relativism by sanctioning "private" moral matters such as alternative lifestyles. Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.
