  • The Catholic Church and Divinization Through Education
    Research Paper ISSN-2455-0736 (Print) Peer Reviewed Journal ISSN-2456-4052 (Online) The Catholic Church And Divinization Through Education Bijumon George Kochupurackal and Dr. Reena George Research & Development Centre, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu Associate Professor, Karmela Rani Training College, Kollam, Kerala [email protected] Abstract The Catholic Church is considered as the largest educational institution in the world. For the church education is ‘a divine mission’ for transforming the world based on the Gospel values of ‘service in love, peace rooted in justice and fellowship based on equality’. Everyone irrespective of caste, creed and gender have access to education with the intervention of the church in the educational field. Until then in Kerala and in the other states of India education was reserved to high class people. Certain political leaders and media persons rigorously and continuously criticize the church and try to condemn all the services and contributions of the church in the field education. The church proposes that education should be based on moral, individual and social values. Thus the proper and ultimate aim of education is divinization of human person. The role of the church in education is not just to make a human better human, not just to make him a more social being with good social and moral or ethical values but make him to actualize the divine potential in him. Introduction The Catholic Church is always interested in providing education. She is active both in the fields of religious and secular education. The Catholic Church is the biggest educational institution in the world. When we speak about the global educational perspective we can never side back the role of the Catholic Church in providing worldwide education.

  • International Seminar on St Thomas Christians Through the Ages: a Historiographical Approach 30, 31 January, 1 February 2018
    International Seminar on St Thomas Christians through the Ages: A Historiographical Approach 30, 31 January, 1 February 2018 The origin, development and the vicissitudes of the St Thomas Christians in India under native and European powers who established their sway over the subcontinent of India for a couple of centuries have been attracting the attention of scholars from far and wide. Both the Indian and European scholars tried to delve deeper into the origin of Christianity in India and a number of them proved the apostolic origin though, of course, there are a few “doubting –Thomases” among them. The current generation and their progeny will assuredly benefit a lot if the works on the various aspects of the St Thomas Christians are critically assessed and brought to their notice before they disappear from print media. It is commonplace understanding that history is re-constructed with the aid of different sources like archaeological, numismatic, and epigraphic evidences, near contemporary literary works, ballads or ancient popular songs, patristic testimonies and living tradition. Basic Christian communities in various parts of the coastal Malabar since the first Century A.D speak for the evangelization of the Apostle at the beginning of the Christian era. The knowledge about the existence of Christian settlements in Kerala dating their origin back to St Thomas, the Apostle prompted St Thomas Christians living in the Persian Empire, following Eastern liturgical and theological practices, to come and strengthen their fellow-Christians in India in the fourth and the ninth centuries. The copper plates granted to the leaders of the migrating groups stand strong testimony to the nature of these groups.

  • Genetic History from the Middle Neolithic to Present on the Mediterranean Island of Sardinia
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-14523-6 OPEN Genetic history from the Middle Neolithic to present on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia Joseph H. Marcus et al.# The island of Sardinia has been of particular interest to geneticists for decades. The current model for Sardinia’s genetic history describes the island as harboring a founder population that was established largely from the Neolithic peoples of southern Europe and remained 1234567890():,; isolated from later Bronze Age expansions on the mainland. To evaluate this model, we generate genome-wide ancient DNA data for 70 individuals from 21 Sardinian archaeological sites spanning the Middle Neolithic through the Medieval period. The earliest individuals show a strong affinity to western Mediterranean Neolithic populations, followed by an extended period of genetic continuity on the island through the Nuragic period (second millennium BCE). Beginning with individuals from Phoenician/Punic sites (first millennium BCE), we observe spatially-varying signals of admixture with sources principally from the eastern and northern Mediterranean. Overall, our analysis sheds light on the genetic history of Sardinia, revealing how relationships to mainland populations shifted over time. *A full list of authors and their affiliations appears at the end of the paper.

  • Role of Chavara in the Establishment of Syro-Malabar Hierarchy
    Vol. 10, 1 (2014) Pages: 65-74 ROLE OF CHAVARA IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SYRO-MALABAR HIERARCHY Thomas Kadankavil CMI Abstract: One of the boldest steps that St Chavara took in his ecclesial life was to make a request to Rome for the appointment of an indigenous bishop, even as the Church that he belonged to was headed by a foreign bishop. The author explores the early struggle of the Syro Malabar Church becoming conscious of her identity and the significant contributions of St Chavara towards the formation of the Syro Malabar hierarchy. Keywords: Hierarchy, Holy See, Syro Malabar, Bishop Roccos, liturgy, Church, Padroado, Chavara, Carmelites 1. Introduction Pius IX (1792-1878, original name being Giovanni Maria Mastai- Ferretti) was the Pope (1846- 1878) while Fr Kuriakose Elias Chavara was giving leadership to keep the Syro-Malabar Church in communion with the Apostolic See and to shape the CMI Congregation. We have two letters that Chavara had written to the Pope directly and several other letters to the Prefect of the Congregation for Propagation of Faith. The relevant portions of these letters and the reply he received from Pope Pius IX are reproduced here for a proper understanding of the role Chavara played in advancing the structural and liturgical evolution of the Syro-Malabar Church. 2. Extracts from the Correspondence of Chavara with the Holy See 2.1. The Letters of Pope Pius IX Regarding Bishop Roccos The following letter is a reply Chavara received to his inquiry about the authority of Bishop Thomas Roccos who came to Malabar as the authorized bishop for the St Thomas Christians.

  • Indigenous Peoples in Sardinia and the Iberian Peninsula in the Early Middle Ages: a Comparative Historiography
    Indigenous Peoples in Sardinia and the Iberian Peninsula in the Early Middle Ages: A Comparative Historiography *** LUCIANO GALLINARI ISTITUTO DI STORIA DELL’EUROPA MEDITERRANEA – CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE DELLE RICERCHE ABSTRACT The essay presents some parallelisms on the concept of “border” and the relations among Vandals, Byzantines and Sardinians on the one hand, and among Byzantines, Goths and Hispano-Romans, on the other, in the former Roman provinces of Sardinia and Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula) during the early Middle Ages. To do so, I analyze the modern identitarian and nationalistic uses of that historical period within the context of its historiography. In parts of both Sardinian and Iberian historiography there is the tendency to highlight the imagined ‘originative’ role of indigenous peoples, complemented by the relatively small influence, in some areas of northern Iberia and the mountainous center of Sardinia, of Roman colonization. In these areas, the role of Barbaricini (the inhabitants of the Civitates Barbariae of the interior of Sardinia mentioned by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian [r. 527-565]), Hispano- Romans, proud opponents of the Empire, and “true” Sardinians and Iberians have been exalted. Employing Maurice Halbwachs’s theoretical rubric, I show how these specific stereotypes, historical and historiographical myths, confirmed memory and identity and were the result of continuous choices – conscious or not – of what people wanted to remember, wanted to be, and wanted to be represented as, and what that means for historical reconstruction. Visigothic Symposium 3 Ó 2018-2019 ISSN 2475-7462 152 Luciano Gallinari ESSAY INTRODUCTION In this work, I present several historiographical reflections on Sardinia and the Iberian Peninsula in the early Middle Ages.

    The Translation of St Sylvester’s Relics from Rome to Nonantola: Itineraries of corpora sacra at the Crossroads between Devotion and Identity in Eighth-Tenth-Century Italy Edoardo Manarini* Pope Sylvester I (314-335) became an important figure in the political history of early medieval Italy. His legendary relationship with Constantine I (306-337), the first Christian emperor, played a significant role in establishing his ideological prominence. Declared a saint of the early Roman Church, Sylvester’s relics did not gain much attention until the middle of the eighth century, when they became a source of competition. On the one hand, Roman popes venerated his body in the monastery of St Stephen and St Sylvester, founded by Pope Paul I around 760 inside the Eternal City; on the other hand, the Lombard king Aistulf and his brother-in-law, Abbot Anselm, claimed to have brought Sylvester’s relics north, in order to have them buried in Anselm’s newly founded monastery of Nonantola in the Po Valley. Scholars would appear to have overlooked this major issue when investigating the relation- ship between Lombard elite society and Roman popes in the eighth century. This article will therefore consider the dates, forms, and narratives of the translatio of St Sylvester in order to evaluate Nonantola’s political and ideological involvement in this »holy« movement. The main argument is that through the »journey« of Sylvester’s relics within the Lombard kingdom, King Aistulf was able to increase his prestige and political influence. For its part, Nonantola rewrote the history of its origins by centring it on the relics of the Constantinian pontiff and those of Pope Hadrian I, in order to claim political and spiritual primacy through- out the medieval period.

  • Locals Vs Foreigners : Criteria for the Formation of Local Identities in Late
    Locals vs “foreigners”: criteria for the formation of local identities in Late Byzantium. An approach to Modern Graecitas through Late Byzantine writers by Eleonora Kountoura-Galaki and Nike Koutrakou Late Byzantine writers reporting on movements of people throughout the Byzantine space and beyond during an age of decline for Byzantium, frequently referred to the provenance of their dramatis personae. Presenting us with elements relating to the identity of their heroes, the writers often stressed the group, community, alliance or alignment to which their heroes belonged, or were perceived to belong. What is of interest is how precisely they chose to do that, what dimension or criterion they specifically chose to convey to their readership. This is why we focus in this paper not on what Late Byzantines writers considered themselves to be, but on the basis of what elements they arrived at that result. The most concrete relevant criteria and corresponding technical terms used in order to define individuals and groups are given by Constantine Acropolites. The writer gives us a very representative example of how writers of the period perceived differentiation and distinguishing features in people. He focuses on four elements that set groups of people “completely apart” and constitute group identities. These elements, arranged rather hierarchically, are: language, origins/race, laws and habits1. Acropolites might have been influenced by the relevant platonic ideas that were being studied widely at his time2. Nevertheless, he offers a list of differentiation criteria which we will follow as a kind of “Ariadne’s clue” in this study. The identity differentiation elements and relevant terms as appearing in historical writing have been studied by contemporary scholars.
