Keenan, SJ 63 Pino Puglisi: Priest and Martyr Giancarlo Pani, SJ 77 The Architecture of Silence and Post-Secularism Luigi Territo, SJ 85 The Gospel according to Bruce Springsteen Claudio Zonta, SJ ABSTRACTS ARTICLE 1 THE TYRANNICAL KING AND POOR NABOTH A NEVER-ENDING STORY Giancarlo Pani, SJ “The story of Naboth is an old one, but it is repeated every day.” This is how Ambrose begins the tale of poor Naboth who was killed by King Ahab so that he could take possession of his vineyard. The episode in the First Book of Kings depicts Ahab’s greed: he who owns everything wants more. But Naboth cannot give away his small piece of land because it is his family’s holy heritage, received as a gift from God, hence the rigged trial and the stoning of poor Naboth. Biblical history is a never-ending story, then and now. Ambrose refers to the vast estates around Milan at the end of the fourth century. And the episode has been taken up by Pope Francis. In homilies at Santa Martha and during the annual spiritual exercises for the curia, he has repeatedly suggested re-reading these words of Ambrose. They ring true today. ARTICLE 14 PAUL VI AND VATICAN II Giovanni Sale, SJ The canonization of Blessed Paul VI, the pope who masterfully conducted the Second Vatican Council to its conclusion, gives us the chance, albeit briefly, to retrace some significant moments of the conciliar event at which he was a propeller and tireless mediator in search of consensus and communion among the Council fathers. We examine the most significant moments Paul VI intervened, especially in the third and fourth sessions, both in the general assembly and in the commissions, and the reasons why he did so. These interventions did not undermine the freedom of the Council as he acted in full respect of his prerogatives and his powers. ABSTRACTS ARTICLE 32 DIGITAL ARGONAUTS THE YOUNG AND THE SEARCH FOR MEANING Francesco Occhetta, SJ – Paolo Benanti, TOR For digital Argonauts – the generation whose compasses are their smartphones – algorithms and Big Data are sources of authority, blessed with a sacred value as guides to the truth. Can “data-ism” – blind trust in technology and management of one’s own identity – answer young people’s quest for meaning? The challenge of the Church, seen particularly in the 2018 Synod of Bishops, is to accompany young people in their search for faith, and offer a new definition of personal and community belonging that cannot ignore what the new Argonauts experience online and also stretch beyond it. This is the mission of the educating Church: “to draw out” resources, projects and values from the lives of young people and accompany them on their journey toward maturity. FOCUS 44 THE HUMAN COST OF THE SYRIAN WAR GianPaolo Salvini, SJ Beyond the daily news that tries to explain the war in Syria and its contradictory and tragic aspects, this article focuses on the civilian victims of seven years of a merciless war fought in a once flourishing and stable country. The Syrian population is exhausted, with approximately 500,000 killed (mostly civilians) and millions of refugees and displaced people who have left their homes and belongings. This article highlights the most dramatic aspects of the war, focusing on the groups that are most at risk, especially women and children, in a situation that seems to have escaped all measures of control, without a definitive solution still in sight. ABSTRACTS CHURCH LIFE 56 BUILDING BRIDGES IN SARAJEVO AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CATHOLIC THEOLOGICAL ETHICS James F. Keenan, SJ Sixteen years ago a global network of Catholic ethicists was founded. More than 1,500 scholars participate today. Since its founding, four international conferences have been organized. The first three were held in Padua (2006), Trento (2010) and Bogotà (2016). The most recent, which is discussed in this article, was held in Sarajevo, July 26-29, 2018. Participants included 422 ethicists from 78 countries. Those present represented the multiple voices of the Church around the world, wherever one finds an ethicist, as well as their diverse challenges and hopes. The presentations, posters and panel discussions focused on three themes: climate change, its impact on migration, and the deprivation of civil rights by nationalist political leaders. The author is a professor of Theological Ethics at Boston College, Massachusetts (USA). PROFILE 63 PINO PUGLISI: PRIEST AND MARTYR Giancarlo Pani, SJ “The Gospel, the Mafia, the frontiers”: these few words sum up the biography of Fr. Pino Puglisi, the parish priest of Brancaccio, who was murdered on September 15, 1993. Fr. Pino was not only a man of faith, an educator of the young and a reference point for families, but also a priest on the frontier, faithful to the Gospel to the point of extreme sacrifice, in a district dominated by the Mafia and the culture of death. On May 25, 2013, the Church recognized him as a martyr and proclaimed him blessed. Pope Francis went to Brancaccio to remember this holy parish priest 25 years after his death, a death that marked the fate of the homicidal Mafia. This was his true, incomparable miracle. ABSTRACTS ART, MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT 77 THE ARCHITECTURE OF SILENCE AND POST-SECULARISM Luigi Territo, SJ Secularization has produced not only fragmentation and a weakening of religious practice, but also innovation and emancipation of the sacred from traditional religions. A new wave of religious interests and practices, especially in the Western world, would seem to definitively dismiss the secular age and see it replaced by a post-secular age. An evident effect of this emancipation can be felt in the spread of inter- confessional “chapels,” dedicated to meditation and silence. It is a matter of convenient places where people of different beliefs can converge and meet. The author is an expert in the conservation of cultural heritage. ART, MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT 85 THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Claudio Zonta, SJ Many important biblical themes are present in the vast discography of American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen. In fact, much of his work tries to capture the mystery of the complexity of existence using biblical criteria, such as the exit from the earth (Highway 29, Across the Border), the relationship with one’s father and with the Father (Adam Raised a Cain, My Father’s House), the fragility of a couple’s relationship (Two Faces), the drama and the question of evil (Into the Fire), the small and insignificant stories of the humble and the lowest (I’ll Work for Your Love). In a recent publication, Il Vangelo secondo Bruce Springsteen (The Gospel according to Bruce Springsteen), Luca Miele traces how the poetics of “The Boss” contain evocations of biblical stories that the famous singer restates in a personal and creative way. The author is a student of biblical theology at the Pontifical Theology Faculty of Southern Italy in Naples.

  • Music Education in Italian Schools from the Unification to Today
    Musica Docta. Rivista digitale di Pedagogia e Didattica della musica, pp. 91-103 NICOLA BADOLATO - ANNA SCALFARO Bologna MUSIC EDUCATION IN ITALIAN SCHOOLS FROM THE UNIFICATION TO TODAY This paper reviews the main stages in the history of Music Education in Italian schools from the country’s unification to today, providing a critical, reasoned discussion of some of the key themes in ministerial programmes, from 1860 to today. This reconstruction does not make any claim to provide a definitive systematization of, or even only exhaust, such a vast subject in the limited space of an article. More realistically, it aims at showing how both the technically-oriented idea of teaching that was typical of programmes in the first half of the 20 th century, and the lucid-evasive vision that emerged from the “protest” climate of the 1960s and 1970s, have impeded a serious, effective organization of the epistemological status of the discipline, an issue which remains unresolved as of today. 1. 1860 to 1923 The first set of rules produced in a united Italy was introduced by Legge Casati, passed by Royal Decree of the Kingdom of Sardinia on November 13 th , 1859 (no. 3725) and later extended to the Kingdom of Italy. The scope of school programmes is clearly defined by article 315, which lists first of all «religious teaching, reading, writing, basic arithmetic, the Italian language, and the rudiments of the metric system».1 There are no traces of music culture or music practice in the programmes: although they show a markedly cultural approach – less so in female schools, where teaching is reduced and simplified –, they reduce music education to its technical-performing aspects, thereby confining it exclusively to the academies, musical institutions and conservatories disseminated all over the territory.

  • Vatican Abuse Summit Followup Decides to Hold More Followups
    Vatican abuse summit followup decides to hold more followups On Monday, in the Vatican’s first follow-up to last week’s child abuse summit, officials emphasized “encounter” and the need for concrete responses as called for by Catholics. The focus of the four-hour meeting Feb. 25 was “first and unanimously” on Pope Francis’ desire for encounter, according to a statement by papal spokesman Alessandro Gisotti. In attendance were some senior officials of the Secretariat of State, the heads of several Vatican dicasteries, and abuse summit organizers Fr. Federico Lombardi, Fr. Hans Zollner, Archbishop Charles Scicluna, Cardinal Oswald Gracias, and Cardinal Blase Cupich. The group agreed to continue to hold similar interdicasterial meetings “in the name of synodality and synergy” to monitor progress on commitments made at the summit. Gisotti said that dicastery heads, speaking openly, affirmed their commitment to following “the example of Pope Francis in the fight against abuses,” with an emphasis on encounter and on listening to victims. Other discussion topics during the meeting were the need for better child protection training and greater involvement from laity, Gisotti said. Organizers outlined for officials the principles behind the forthcoming documents and task forces – the promised outcomes of the abuse summit which were announced Sunday. The concrete commitments made at the end of the Vatican’s sex abuse summit Sunday included the publication of a motu proprio from Pope Francis “on the protection of minors and vulnerable persons,” Lombardi announced Feb. 24. Vatican City State is supposed also to receive in the coming weeks its own new child protection law, and the Vicariate of Vatican City new child protection guidelines.

    The Creative Process THE SEARCH FOR AN AUDIO-VISUAL LANGUAGE AND STRUCTURE SECOND EDITION by John Howard Lawson Preface by Jay Leyda dol HILL AND WANG • NEW YORK www.johnhowardlawson.com Copyright © 1964, 1967 by John Howard Lawson All rights reserved Library of Congress catalog card number: 67-26852 Manufactured in the United States of America First edition September 1964 Second edition November 1967 www.johnhowardlawson.com To the Association of Film Makers of the U.S.S.R. and all its members, whose proud traditions and present achievements have been an inspiration in the preparation of this book www.johnhowardlawson.com Preface The masters of cinema moved at a leisurely pace, enjoyed giving generalized instruction, and loved to abandon themselves to reminis­ cence. They made it clear that they possessed certain magical secrets of their profession, but they mentioned them evasively. Now and then they made lofty artistic pronouncements, but they showed a more sincere interest in anecdotes about scenarios that were written on a cuff during a gay supper.... This might well be a description of Hollywood during any period of its cultivated silence on the matter of film-making. Actually, it is Leningrad in 1924, described by Grigori Kozintsev in his memoirs.1 It is so seldom that we are allowed to study the disclosures of a Hollywood film-maker about his medium that I cannot recall the last instance that preceded John Howard Lawson's book. There is no dearth of books about Hollywood, but when did any other book come from there that takes such articulate pride in the art that is-or was-made there? I have never understood exactly why the makers of American films felt it necessary to hide their methods and aims under blankets of coyness and anecdotes, the one as impenetrable as the other.

  • The Broken Cross
    THE BROKEN CROSS BY PIERS COMPTON (1984) This book was written in the early 1980's by a Catholic layman alarmed at the direction of the post Vatican II church. The author makes well supported charges the uppermost offices of the Church have been infiltrated by Luciferian Secret Societies, and that the problem is not confined to liberal prelates. He provides evidence that John XXIII and Paul VI were likely members of secret cults, and that John Paul I was murdered. Such is likely to be disturbing to Catholics who put their trust in the Roman Curia.

  • 'Owned' Vatican Guilt for the Church's Role in the Holocaust?
    Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations Volume 4 (2009): Madigan CP 1-18 CONFERENCE PROCEEDING Has the Papacy ‘Owned’ Vatican Guilt for the Church’s Role in the Holocaust? Kevin Madigan Harvard Divinity School Plenary presentation at the Annual Meeting of the Council of Centers on Christian-Jewish Relations November 1, 2009, Florida State University, Boca Raton, Florida Given my reflections in this presentation, it is perhaps appropriate to begin with a confession. What I have written on the subject of the papacy and the Shoah in the past was marked by a confidence and even self-righteousness that I now find embarrassing and even appalling. (Incidentally, this observation about self-righteousness would apply all the more, I am afraid, to those defenders of the wartime pope.) In any case, I will try and smother those unfortunate qualities in my presentation. Let me hasten to underline that, by and large, I do not wish to retract conclusions I have reached, which, in preparation for this presentation, have not essentially changed. But I have come to perceive much more clearly the need for humility in rendering judgment, even harsh judgment, on the Catholic actors, especially the leading Catholic actors of the period. As José Sanchez, with whose conclusions in his book on understanding the controversy surrounding the wartime pope I otherwise largely disagree, has rightly pointed out, “it is easy to second guess after the events.”1 This somewhat uninflected observation means, I take it, that, in the case of the Holy See and the Holocaust, the calculus of whether to speak or to act was reached in the cauldron of a savage world war, wrought in the matrix of competing interests and complicated by uncertainty as to whether acting or speaking would result in relief for or reprisal.
