For 15 youth Growing role in policymaking and chaperones from Sacred Heart Parish, Warsaw, it was no different. Page 4 Ida List, director of youth ministry there, led the group of 11 students and three adults on an adventure of a lifetime. Though she originally hadn’t planned to attend World Youth Day (WYD), due to expense, she issued a challenge to the parish community. Poor Handmaids “We needed a minimum of 15 pilgrims to go and if celebrate jubilees God wanted us to attend, 15 would sign up ... and they did. So we went,” says the inspired List. Sisters honored for service The trip was two years in the making and had the pilgrims raising funds with a car wash, garage sale and Page 8 even sales from producing their own CD on praying the rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. List worked with Youth in Europe, a tour company, to arrange for an extended stay of 12 days. But more than the logistics, List attended to the spiritual prepa- Butterflies and healing ration of the students. Scout project offers hope “We prayed a lot,” says List, who adds that she also read the monthly e-pilgrimage letters that provided Page 20 information on the upcoming WYD events and the theme taken from the Book of Acts, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses.” Eventually, the group began to meet weekly for PROVIDED BY IDA LIST Assumption of the Mass, prayer and planning.

Tel: 86-150-2100-6037. E-mail: [email protected] Received: March 12, 2012 Accepted: June 4, 2012 Online Published: July 1, 2012 doi:10.5539/ach.v4n2p16 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ach.v4n2p16 The final completion and publication of this article was supported by the New Century Program to Promote Excellent University Talents (no.: NECJ-10-0355). Abstract This article depicts the dynamic demonstrations of religions in late imperial and republican Jining. It argues with evidences that the open, tolerant and advanced urban circumstances and atmosphere nurtured the diversity and prosperity of formal religions in Jining in much of the Ming and Qing periods. It also argues that the same air and ethos enabled Jining to less difficultly adapt to the West-led modern epoch, with a notable result of welcoming Christianity, quite exceptional in hinterland China. Keywords: Jining, religions, urban, Grand Canal, hinterland, Christianity I. Introduction: A Special Case beyond Conventional Scholarly Images It seems a commonplace that intellectual and religious beliefs and practices in imperial Chinese inlands were conservative, which encouraged orthodoxy ideology or otherwise turned to heretic sectarianism. It is also commonplace that in the post-Opium War modern era, hinterland China, while being sluggishly appropriated into Westernized modernization, persistently resisted the penetration of Western values and institutes including Christianity.

  • Pope Francis, Common Sense and Contemporary Ecological Science (The Green New Deal As Neo-Catharism in Drag)
    Peter A. Redpath Adler-Aquinas Institute, Colorado Springs, USA Pope Francis, Common Sense and Contemporary Ecological Science (The Green New Deal as Neo-Catharism in Drag) Introduction Before starting my presentation today, I want to thank Professor Piotr Jaroszyńki for, once again, inviting me to give a tale at this annual Man in Culture international conference. While I would much prefer to be able to be present with you physically in Po- land, I am pleased I can at least join you virtually today to speak about an issue of pressing historical and philosophical importan- ce. Being at present 75 years old, I have lived through the papacy of 6 popes: Pius XII, John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, and Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio). During this time, I have never experienced a pope as politically divisive among Catholics and Christians in general and as intensely disli- ked by people who tend to identify themselves as believing, or- thodox Catholics as is Pope Francis. Among people often referred to as ‘Practicing’ (not ‘Cafeteria’) Catholics, ‘Evangelical Chri- stians,’ and other denominational Christians who try to put into practice tenets faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ as passed on to posterity by the Apostles, Pope Francis tends to be as inten- sely disliked today as is Donald Trump among the global political Left. 264 Peter A. Redpath Why is this? What is the psychological disposition of Pope Francis that causes so many traditionally-minded Catholics and other Christians to dislike him so much and to wish for him simply to go away as soon as possible.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE PILGRIMS GATHERED IN ROME FOR THE CANONIZATION OF THREE NEW SAINTS Monday, 6 October 2003 Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate, Dear Brothers and Sisters, 1. I am pleased to meet you the day after the canonization of three shining witnesses of missionary commitment who are particularly dear to you: St Daniel Comboni, St Arnold Janssen and St Joseph Freinademetz. They are three "champions" of evangelization. I cordially greet you all and I thank you for coming. 2. I greet you all, dear Comboni Missionaries of the Heart of Jesus, who are continuing the apostolic action of St Daniel Comboni. He is rightly listed among the champions of the missionary movement that had an extraordinary reawakening in the 19th century. I greet in particular your recently elected Superior General, Fr Teresino Serra, and the Religious who are taking part in the General Chapter. I hope that the reflections and guidelines that result from the Chapter Assembly will imbue your institute with new missionary enthusiasm. Next, I greet you, dear Comboni Missionary Sisters, and you, dear Secular Comboni Missionaries and dear Lay Comboni Missionaries, who are inspired by the charism of St Daniel Comboni. May God make fruitful your every project, with which you constantly aim to spread the Gospel of hope. May he also bless your efforts in the context of human promotion and especially for youth. In this regard, I warmly hope that you will reconsider and bring to completion the project of founding a Catholic University in Sudan, the country that Comboni loved.

  • 1. Historiography and Spirituality of Religious Orders and Congregations in the Chinese Context
    Historiography and Spirituality of Religious Orders and Congregations in the Chinese Context 1. Historiography and Spirituality of Religious Orders and Congregations in the Chinese Context Roman MALEK “I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them.” Numbers 11,17 Introductory Remarks The conference “History of Catholic Religious Orders and Missionary Congregations in Hong Kong” (2007) served the purpose of preparing a volume on the history of religious orders and congregations in Hong Kong in order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the history of the Catholic Church in Hong Kong. Such an undertaking surely also needs a “meta-view,” a look from above and outside, combining several aspects and dimensions, since the history of the Catholic Church in Hong Kong is connected with the Church history in general, with the history of China, and with the specific history of the Church in China. The following chapter is therefore a reflection on the history of Catholic religious orders and missionary congregations in the broader perspective of the historiography of Christianity in China. Especially, the interdependencies between the primordial charisma of religious orders or congregations, their spirituality and the shaping of the local Church(es) in the Chinese context are discussed–juxtaposing it also to Hong Kong as a local Church.1 The question is what significance and consequences these interdependencies have for the present situation and the future. I will propose some rather general observations and conclude with remarks on the perspectives of the consecrated life. The main lines of argumentation and at the same time the main points of this chapter are the following: first of all it is important to see 1 ©2009 by Centre for Catholic Studies, the Chinese University of Hong Kong All Rights Reserved II.indd 1 9/11/2009 11:34:21 History of Catholic Religious Orders and Missionary Congregations in Hong Kong Vol.
