The Jesuits 1922 Pope Pius XI entrusted the Institute to the Society of Jesus. Rerum Orientalium 1928 Bishops were encouraged to send students to the Institute to be formed as future professors in Oriental studies. Post grad 350 students In a typical year, the Oriental Institute has between 300 and 400 students, both lay and religious, from more than 40 countries. It attracts students not only from the Eastern Churches, but also from the Roman From Catholic and Protestant Churches, as well as non Christians. 48 countries The Pontifical Oriental Institute or “Orientale” is the premier center for the study of Eastern Christianity in Rome, Italy. The pontifical institute was established in 1917 by Pope Benedict XV. Pope Pius XI entrusted the Institute to the Society of Jesus in 1922, and with the 1928 encyclical “Rerum Orienta- lium” encouraged bishops to send students to the Institute to be formed as future professors in Oriental studies. In that same year, Pius XI associated the Institute with the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical Biblical Institute, thus forming the Gregorian Consortium. In 1971, the Faculty of Oriental Canon Law was erected alongside the already existing Faculty of Oriental Eccle- siastical Studies. The Faculty of Oriental Canon Law had a crucial role in the produc- tion of Code of Canon Law for the Oriental Churches. The Institute has been located across from the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore since 1926. It is separated from the Collegium Russicum by the Church of Saint Antony. According to article 16 of the Lateran Treaty, signed in 1929 between Italy and the Holy See, the property of the Oriental Institute enjoys a certain level of extraterritoriality, with the Holy See having all rights over the infrastructure without interference from the Italian State, and free from all Italian taxation. Since 1993, the Grand Chancellor of the Oriental Institute has been the Cardinal Prefect of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, in 2016 it was Cardinal Leonardo Sandri (left), while the Rector was Fr. David Nazar, S.J. (right). First President Institutional Focus • The Pontifical Oriental Institute offers Licentiate and Doctoral degrees in Eastern Canon Law, Eastern Ecclesiastical Studies and a Propaedeutic year of formation for Seminarians. • For Rome to have an Institute for the promotion of Eastern Studies—placed under the special supervision and care of the Supreme Pontiff—is thus awarded the title of “Pontifical” • The Institute will be directly aligned to the Sacred Congregation for the Eastern Church The first president of the Institute was • The Institute will have its own distinct office in Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster, Abbot of the Vatican St. Paul and the Archbishop of Milan. With “the grand design to build a bridge between • The Institute will teach the following subjects: a) the East and the West”, Schuster expressed Orthodox Theology encompassing various Christian that, “the Pontifical Oriental Institute had Doctrine, with Eastern Patrology courses, and Histor- to be an academy dedicated exclusively to ical Theology b) Canon law of all Christian peoples of the study of various theological subjects the East c) Eastern Liturgy d) History, both sacred and cultivated in the East” (Benedict XV on The civil, of Byzantium and the rest of the East; will conjoin Union of Churches Conference held at the Geography courses, Sacred Archaeology, and Civil Catholic University in 1940). Constitutions e) Literature and Oriental languages. The Library 184K volumes 2,000 volumes/year 2,600 periodicals The General Collection contains 184.000 volumes making the library of the Pontifical Oriental Institute the best gen- eral collection in the world on Eastern Christianity. Nowhere else in the world can one find together in the same library nearly everything an orientalist scholar could need to research any aspect of Eastern Christendom. The collection of liturgical books on Eastern Christian traditions Unique to the general collection is its rich selection of the official liturgical books, Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Eastern Catholic, in the main Eastern Christian liturgical languages (Greek, Slavonic, Romanian, Arabic, Syriac, Armenian, Coptic, Ge‘ez (Ethiopic), Malayalam, as well as in translations of the modern vernacular tongues into which many of the Eastern rites are gradually moving.This collection has been instrumental in facilitating the institute’s scholarly work and more discretely their work for the Holy See as consultors of the Vatican Congregation for the Oriental Churches. The East European Collection (Russian, Ukrainian) Prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Library was regularly visited by Soviet and other East-Bloc scholars to read the Russian, Ukrainian, and other Slavic and Slavonic sources that were difficult to access under the Communist regime. Especially rich are the PIO Library holdings on the two most important lands of Slavic Eastern Christianity, Ukraine and Russia, the historic “Kievan Rus’,” heartland and cradle of Slavia Orthodoxa. Current Periodicals 2,600 periodicals including 500 current ones still being pub- lished—represent a rich collection of scholarly journals from every corner of the world and every Eastern Church. These current periodicals are an essential tool for maintaining knowledge of the current situation of those Churches and their present life, with its problems and interests.

The Orientale hosts the only Catholic faculty of Oriental Canon Law in the world. This faculty of Oriental Canon Law played a significant role in the production of the Code of Canon Law for the Oriental Churches. Studies in the faculty also deal with the historical development of canons, the theology and practice of canon law, as well as the particular canons of specific churches..

A singularidade desta diplomacia e a sua invulgar eficiência tornam-se marcantes neste domínio. Com o presente trabalho pretende-se dar a conhecer a actividade desta diplomacia, assim como expor a função que esta desempenha ao nível da diplomacia internacional. Destacando alguns períodos em que a sua actividade teve mais impacto ao nível das Relações Internacionais e, aprofundando o sentido da sua actividade no mundo contemporâneo, pretende-se assim ilustrar aquela que é considerada a mais antiga diplomacia no âmbito internacional, e que apesar de ser frequentemente olhada pelo prisma religioso, encerra em si uma intensa actividade com os círculos do poder. Palavras-Chave: Diplomacia; Igreja e Sociedade Civil; Relações Internacionais; Santa Sé. Abstract: The diplomacy of the Holy See: evolution and current issues In international relations, diplomacy of the Holy See is one of the least known and studied topics.

  • View Are Equally Good (Or Bad)
    The Destruction of the Christian Tradition (Part 5) by Rama P. Coomaraswamy, MD Source: Studies in Comparative Religion, Vol. 14, No. 1 & 2. (Winter-Spring, 1980). © World Wisdom, Inc. www.studiesincomparativereligion.com The Road to Hell is paved with “Good Intentions” In the Gospel also we read that it was foretold that our foes should rather be of our own household, and that they who have first been associated in the sacrament of unity shall be they who shall betray one another. —(Epistles of St. Cyprian LIV) Why have all these changes been instituted? One must remember that, as William Blake said of a former pontiff: “And Caiaph was, in his own mind, A benefactor to mankind.” What led men who presumably are “sincere” and of “good will” to break with the traditions established by the Apostles and the teachings held by the Church throughout the ages? What has induced those responsible to follow the suggestions of the Modernist Tyrrell to the effect that they believed that what the Church needed was “a liberal infusion of Protestant ideas?” Why has the “fort” been abandoned “by those even of whom it should be guarded?” Either those responsible had a defective faith, or they were not even Christian! For all their “sincerity” and “good will”, they, like the Protestant Reformers of an earlier age, could not abide and accept Holy Mother Church as she had always been. It was perfectly obvious to those brought up in the traditional Church that her mind and thinking was diametrically opposed to that of so-called “contemporary man”.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER TO MARK THE CENTENARY OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE PONTIFICAL ORIENTAL INSTITUTE AND THE CONGREGATION FOR ORIENTAL CHURCHES To Venerable Brother Cardinal Leonardo Sandri Grand Chancellor of the Pontifical Oriental Institute On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Pontifical Oriental Institute, several months after the centenary of the establishment of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches (cf. Benedict xv, Motu Proprio Dei Providentis, 1 May 1917), it is my pleasure to address a cordial greeting to you, venerable Brother, and to the entire Academic Community. Almost half a century before the Conciliar Decree Orientalium Ecclesiarum, my venerable Predecessor wished to draw attention to the extraordinary richness of the Eastern Churches, by founding the Pontifical Oriental Institute here in Rome, on 15 October 1917. Even in the midst of the turbulence of the first world conflict, the Pontiff understood the need to pay special attention to the Eastern Churches. For its foundation, Benedict xv recalled that openness to the Orient that had blossomed with the Eucharistic Congress of Jerusalem of 1893, with the aim of creating a study centre which would serve — as affirmed in the founding document — as “an ideal setting for the advanced study of Oriental issues”, destined to train “also Latin priests who wish to exercise their sacred ministry among Orientals”. From the outset, it was intended that this “study centre [be] open to Orientals, both the affiliated and the so-called Orthodox”, so that “the exposure of Catholic and, at the same time, Orthodox doctrine could proceed simultaneously” (Benedict xv, Motu Proprio Orientis Catholici, 15 October 1917: aas 9 [1917], 532).

  • Dialogue As a Strategy of Struggle: Religious Politics in East Germany, 1957–1968
    Contemporary European History (2020), 29, 171–186 doi:10.1017/S0960777320000065 ARTICLE Dialogue as a Strategy of Struggle: Religious Politics in East Germany, 1957–1968 Heléna Tóth History Department, Otto-Friedrich-University, Fischstrasse 5/7, 96047 Bamberg, Germany [email protected] Abstract This article argues that the topos of dialogue between Christians and Marxists fulfilled a key role in the creation and maintenance of power relations in religious politics in East Germany. Three case studies illus- trate the topos of dialogue as a strategy of struggle: 1. the campaign against ‘revisionism’ and ‘politicised religion’; 2. the church policy strategy of ‘differentiation’; 3. the critique of the phenomena commonly associated with the Christian–Marxist dialogue outside East Germany in the mid-1960s. These instances of socialist religious politics, while having their own dynamics, were closely related through specific actors and argumentative strategies. In 1990, one year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, long-time editor of the Journal of Ecumenical Studies (JES), Leonard Swidler, took stock of the history of the Christian–Marxist dialogue as a long tradition with renewed political relevance. Swidler believed that the rapidly changing tectonics of global politics made a historical overview necessary: as ‘today the two Communist giants, the USSR and China, are in a variety of ways opening themselves up to dialogue and cooperation with many of their erstwhile enemies, including Christianity’.1 Together with the co-editor of

  • L'église Catholique En Russie De 1917 À Nos Jours Jean-François Bourret Professeur Émérite À L'université Lumière-Lyon II
    L'Église catholique en Russie de 1917 à nos jours Jean-François Bourret Professeur émérite à l'université Lumière-Lyon II Dès les lendemains de la révolution de 1917, l'Église catholique, dont les efforts de négociation avec le nouveau gouvernement restèrent vains, réagit par des consécrations secrètes d'évêques. Au cours des années vingt et trente, elle fut combattue au même titre que les autres confessions chrétiennes et l'étau se resserra pendant la deuxième guerre mondiale, particulièrement pour les citoyens soviétiques de langue allemande. Dès les années soixante, on constata, malgré d'incessantes vexations, une renaissance des communautés chrétiennes occidentales. La chute du régime communiste, si elle a permis un renouveau de toutes les confessions chrétiennes, a aussi réveillé les très anciens griefs de l'Église orthodoxe vis-à-vis de Rome. Le choc de la révolution bolchevique La carte du catholicisme en Russie, telle qu'elle avait été dressée par le concordat entre le Saint-Siège et l'Empire russe fut modifiée suite aux bouleversements territoriaux des confins occidentaux de l'État issu de la Révolution. Le diocèse de Vilna se trouva de facto partagé entre la Lituanie et la Pologne, et celui de Sagomitie était entièrement en Lituanie, indépendante depuis le 12 juillet 1920 ; le diocèse de Loutsk et Jitomir fut amputé des provinces de Volhynie et de Podolie cédées à la Pologne. Le diocèse de Tiraspol perdit la Bessarabie cédée à la Roumanie. Amputé lui aussi dans sa partie occidentale, l'archevêché de Moghilev restait au début des années vingt le plus vaste diocèse du monde.

Th is era can be seen as a turning point in the history of clashes over religion, which now reached levels that recalled the culture war (‘Kulturkampf’) of the nineteenth century – but also involved unparalleled violence and unprecedented transnational scope. Th is essay paints a panorama of the various European responses to the brutal Soviet policy against religion, and the evolution of militant atheism in Europe, from the onset of the collectivisation of agriculture in the USSR in 1929 until the encyclical letter Divini Redemptoris (1937), in which Pope Pius XI condemned communism as ‘intrinsically wrong’. After 1917, western opposition to Soviet religious policy developed according to diff erent modalities, which ranged from
