  • John XXIII & Idea of a Council
    POPE JOHN XXIII AND THE IDEA OF AN ECUMENICAL COUNCIL Joseph A. Komonchak On January 25, 1959, just three months after he had assumed the papacy, Pope John XXIII informed a group of Cardinals at St. Paul's outside the Walls that he intended to convoke an ecumenical council. The announcement appeared towards the end of a speech closing that year's celebration of the Chair of Unity Octave, which the Pope used in order to comment on his initial experiences as Pope and to meet the desire to know the main lines his pontificate would follow.1 The first section offered what might be called a pastoral assessment of the challenges he faced both as Bishop of Rome and as supreme Pastor of the universal Church. The reference to his responsibilities as Bishop of Rome is already significant, given that this local episcopal role had been greatly eclipsed in recent centuries, most of the care for the city having been assigned to a Cardinal Vicar, while the pope focused on universal problems. Shortly after his election, Pope John had told Cardinal Tardini that he intended to be Pope "quatenus episcopus Romae, as Bishop of Rome." With regard to the city, the Pope noted all the changes that had taken place since in the forty years since he had worked there as a young priest. He noted the great growth in the size and population of Rome and the new challenges it placed on those responsible for its spiritual well-being. Turning to the worldwide situation, the Pope briefly noted that there was much to be joyful about.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE BISHOPS OF SCANDINAVIA ON THEIR VISIT AD LIMINA APOSTOLORUM Saturday, 5 April 2003 Dear Brother Bishops, 1. "Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord" (1 Tim 1:2). With fraternal affection I warmly welcome you, the Bishops of Scandinavia. Your first visit ad Limina Apostolorum in this new millennium is an occasion to renew your commitment to proclaim ever more courageously the Gospel of Jesus Christ in truth and love. As pilgrims to the tombs of the Apostles Peter and Paul, you "come to see Peter" (cf. Gal 1:18) and his collaborators in the service of the universal Church. You thus confirm your "unity in the same faith, hope and charity, and more and more recognize and treasure that immense heritage of spiritual and moral wealth that the whole Church, joined with the Bishop of Rome by the bond of communion, has spread throughout the world" (Pastor Bonus, Appendix I, 3). 2. As Bishops, you have been endowed with the authority of Christ (cf. Lumen Gentium, 25) and entrusted with the task of bearing witness to his saving Gospel. The faithful of Scandinavia, with great expectation, look to you to be steadfast teachers of the faith, selfless in your readiness to speak the truth "in season and out of season" (2 Tim 4:2). By your personal witness to the living mystery of God (cf. Catechesi Tradendae, 7), you make known the boundless love of him who has revealed himself and his plan for humanity through Jesus Christ.

    The Holy See ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE PLENARY ASSEMBLY OF THE CONGREGATION FOR THE EVANGELIZATION OF PEOPLES Saturday, 24 May 2003 Your Eminences, Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood, Dear Brothers and Sisters, 1. I welcome and greet with affection each one of you who are taking part in the Plenary Assembly of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. I greet first of all Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, Prefect of your Congregation; I am grateful to him for the words he has addressed to me on your behalf. With him, I greet the Secretaries, the Undersecretary and the collaborators of the Dicastery; I greet the Cardinals, Bishops, men and women Religious and all who are present. During the work of the Plenary Meeting, you have addressed an important aspect of the Church's mission: "Formation in the mission lands", with reference to the priests, seminarians, Religious, catechists, and lay people involved in pastoral activities. This topic deserves your full attention. 2. The urgent need to train apostles for the new evangelization was reasserted by the Second Vatican Council as well as by the Synods of Bishops held in recent years. The work of the Synodal Assemblies has resulted in important Apostolic Exhortations, of which I will only mention Pastores Dabo Vobis, Vita Consecrata, Catechesi Tradendae and Christifideles Laici. The recently founded Ecclesial Communities are rapidly expanding. Precisely because weaknesses and difficulties in their development process have sometimes been identified, it appears urgently necessary to insist on the formation of well-qualified pastoral workers by means of systematic programmes, adapted to the needs of the present time and attentive to "inculturating" the Gospel in the different settings.

Powell, Associate Professor of Political Science, Leadership Studies Sol Goldman, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Political Science Copyright 2014 Katherine M. Campbell Abstract: Scholars have debated Pope Pius XII’s role in the Holocaust since the 1960s. Did he do everything he could and should have done to save Jews? His critics say no because of antisemitism rooted in the traditional Catholic views. His defenders say yes and deny that he was an antisemite. In my thesis, I shall assess the arguments on both sides in terms of the available evidence. I shall focus both on what Pius XII did do and what he did not do and on the degree to which he can be held responsible for the actions of low-level clergy.

  • Lettera Enciclica Fides Et Ratio
    Lettera Enciclica FIDES ET RATIO Ai Vescovi della Chiesa Cattolica circa i Rapporti tra Fede e Ragione 14 Settembre 1998 Venerati Fratelli nell'Episcopato, salute e Apostolica Benedizione! La fede e la ragione sono come le due ali con le quali lo spirito umano s'innalza verso la contemplazione della verità. E Dio ad aver posto nel cuore dell'uomo il desiderio di conoscere la verità e, in definitiva, di conoscere Lui perché, conoscendolo e amandolo, possa giungere anche alla piena verità su se stesso (cfr Es 33, 18; Sal 27 [26], 8-9; 63 [62], 2-3; Gv 14, 8; 1 Gv 3, 2). INTRODUZIONE « CONOSCI TE STESSO » 1. Sia in Oriente che in Occidente, è possibile ravvisare un cammino che, nel corso dei secoli, ha portato l'umanità a incontrarsi progressivamente con la verità e a confrontarsi con essa. E un cammino che s'è svolto — né poteva essere altrimenti — entro l'orizzonte dell'autocoscienza personale: più l'uomo conosce la realtà e il mondo e più conosce se stesso nella sua unicità, mentre gli diventa sempre più impellente la domanda sul senso delle cose e della sua stessa esistenza. Quanto viene a porsi come oggetto della nostra conoscenza diventa per ciò stesso parte della nostra vita. Il monito Conosci te stesso era scolpito sull'architrave del tempio di Delfi, a testimonianza di una verità basilare che deve essere assunta come regola minima da ogni uomo desideroso di distinguersi, in mezzo a tutto il creato, qualificandosi come « uomo » appunto in quanto « conoscitore di se stesso ». Un semplice sguardo alla storia antica, d'altronde, mostra

  • The Catholic School According to the Code of Canon Law
    148 Catholic Education / December 2008 The Catholic School According to the Code of Canon Law Zenon Cardinal Grocholewski Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education For close to three decades, his Eminence Zenon Cardinal Grocholeski, worked at the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura as notary, chancellor, secre- tary and prefect. A professor, scholar, and canonist of exceptional ability, he is considered one of the world’s most prominent experts on the Code of Canon Law. In light of his competence and experience, The Servant of God Pope John Paul II, appointed his Eminence as Prefect of the Dicastery for Catholic Education in 1999. This rare combination and manifestation of intellect, expertise, and dedication is witnessed in the oration presented for publication, The Catholic School According to the Code of Canon Law delivered by His Eminence, as Prefect of the Congregation of Catholic Education on May 28, 2008 at Fordham University, New York.

We will explore whether a change of a scientific, medical insight, and understanding of human nature and behaviour could positively influence the discernment of the Church on these matters. We will also examine how the Catholic teaching, as presented in Amoris Laetitia, illustrates a different quality of respect for the family and its sexual life? Will it foster a deeper respect for human life in general, and for the unborn child in particular? We will learn how the biblical story of creation is central for claiming respect for human life and nature.
