  • Romero: Person and His Charisma with the Pontiffs
    260914: Julian Filochowski Romero: Person and His Charisma with the Pontiffs. It is my intuition that ‘the annunciation’ is just around the corner; that is an announcement from Rome - not from the Angel Gabriel, but from the Cardinal ‘Angel’ (Angelo) Amato, Head of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints – an announcement that our beloved Servant of God, Oscar Romero, will be raised to the altars during 2015. Oremus! Archbishop Romero is not only the most famous Salvadoran of our times, but also the most loved and simultaneously the most hated. Nevertheless it seems entirely fitting to me to adapt the words from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, “he was the noblest Salvadoran of them all”. Indeed today he is recognised as such, repeatedly acclaimed by President Funes as the ‘spiritual guide of the nation’ - with monuments and memorials in almost every town and village in El Salvador. He has been described as a national treasure. As a holy prophet and martyr, Oscar Romero is, I would suggest, a precious diamond, who adds a special redemptive lustre to the universal Church of the 20th century. For over 30 years, however, Archbishop Romero’s detractors inside the Church have tried to paint a picture of him as a rather cheap fake diamond - naïve, vain, manipulated, doctrinally heterodox and politically extreme. (In truth they feared Romero’s canonisation might be interpreted as the canonisation of liberation theology.) And they are still not finished - even though their curial leader, the Colombian Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, has now gone to that great dicastery in the sky, with God.

    Archbishop with an Attitude Oscar Romerds Sentir con la Iglesia Douglas Marcouiller, S.J. BX3701 S88x Studies in the spirituality of Jesuits. Issue: v.35:no.3(2003:May) Arrival Date: 05/22/2003 O'Neill Periodicals 35/3 • MAY 2003 THE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY The Seminar is composed of a number of Jesuits appointed from their provinces in the United States. It concerns itself with topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially United States Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces through its publication, STUDIES IN THE SPIRITUALITY OF JESUITS. This is done in the spirit of Vatican Li's recommendation that religious institutes recapture the original inspiration of their founders and adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar welcomes reactions or comments in regard to the material that it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the United States. The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, and laity, to both men and women. Hence, the journal, while meant especially for American Jesuits, is not exclusively for them. Others who may find it helpful are cordially welcome to make use of it. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR Robert L. Bireley, S.J., teaches history at Loyola University, Chicago, IL (2001). Richard A. Blake, S.J., is chairman of the Seminar and editor of STUDIES; he teaches film studies at Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA (2002). Claudio M. Burgaleta, S.J., is executive director of Estudios Pastorales para la Nueva Evangelizacion, in Oceanside, NY (2002).

  • Book Reviews
    BOOK REVIEWS INTRODUCTION TO THE OLD TESTAMENT AS SCRIPTURE. By Brevard S. Childs. Philadelphia: Fortress, 1979. Pp. 688. $28.50. This is a superlative effort and at least an extraordinary achievement. C. has done two things. He has written what will almost certainly be the standard graduate-school Introduction for many years to come. More than that, he has had the courage to approach the matter of Introduction and indeed of OT study from a totally different perspective. His perspec­ tive is the work of canonical criticism. By this last term C. means the notion, as found, e.g., in the works of J. A. Sanders, that the history of the canon should be reinterpreted "as an ongoing hermeneutical process extending throughout Israel's entire history." In C.'s own writing on the subject, he has expressed his general agreement with Sanders' basic thrust, i.e., that canonization should be seen as a process extending through all of Israel's history and affecting the shaping of the literature itself. C. and Sanders differ when they define the historical and theological forces which evoked the formation of the canon (57-58). But the canon remains "open" (58) and C. is ever concerned with the writings "as a whole" (142). Perhaps the most remarkable feature of this book is the precision with which C. has used the general thesis in treating of individual books. He has successfully resisted the temptation to find that every book of the OT can only be understood in light of the work done in canonical criticism. Wherever appropriate in discussing the individual books, he treats his thesis in detail.

  • Short Conclave Is Expected Two Italians Are Frontrunners
    PRICE 25c AUGUST tl/OICE25, 1978 VOL. XX No. 25 Short conclave is expected Two Italians are frontrunners By JOHN MUTHIG VATICAN CITY-(NC)-A quick decision was ex- pected as 111 red-robed cardinals headed into conclave in the Vatican's Apostolic Palace to pick the 262nd successor of St. Peter and the spiritual leader of some 700 million Catholics. Observers predicted that the conclave would take four days or less of voting after its Aug. 25 opening. , THE LEADING candidates appeared to be Cardinal Sebastiano Baggio, 65, prefect of the powerful Vatican congregation which oversees the naming of bishops, and Cardinal Sergio Pignedoli, 68, a close friend of the late Pope Paul VI and president of the Vatican body which promotes dialogue with non-Christian religions. The vast pastoral, diplomatic and curial experience of the two men made them strong favorites in a conclave ex- pected to continue the 455-year-old tradition of an Italian pope. It remained possible, however, that the first conclave since the Second Vatican Council, the largest and most international conclave ever, would decide to give the world a non-Italian pontiff. Front-running non-Italian candidates included charismatic Cardinal Eduardo Pironio, 57, prefect of the Congregation for Religious, former head of the large Mar del Plata Diocese in Argentina and conciliatory general secretary of the Latin American Bishops' Council (CELAM). At the same time, some Vatican watchers were saying that cardinals seeking a pope who would share more power with local churches might decide to give their votes to Franciscan Cardinal Aloisio Lorscheider, president of both CELAM and the Brazilian Bishops' Conference.
