  • 1 Ad Gentes, Evangelii Nuntiandi, Redemptoris Missio and Dialogue
    CHURCH TEACHING ON MISSION: Ad Gentes, Evangelii Nuntiandi, Redemptoris Missio and Dialogue and Proclamation Stephen Bevans, SVD Introduction This paper will summarize the church’s official teaching in the Roman Magisterium on the theology and conduct of its evangelizing mission. Rather than summarize each document, however, which would be quite tedious and repetitious, I will rather present the several aspects of each document that present new aspects to the Magisterium’s teaching on mission. The original request for this paper suggested that I look only at Evangelii Nuntiandi (EN) and Redemptoris Missio (RM). It seems to me, however, that a more rounded picture of contemporary church teaching on mission needs to start with Vatican II’s Decree on Missionary Activity, Ad Gentes and needs also to include the document issued shortly after RM by the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples and the Pontifical Council for Dialogue, Dialogue and Proclamation (DP). This last document, issued in 1991, is now eighteen years old. Since then two other documents have been issued by the Roman Magisterium that are important for the church’s mission–Dominus Iesus in 2000 and Doctrinal Notes on Some Aspects of Evangelization in 2007,both issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. These, however, are more cautionary in tone and do not present any new or constructive teaching as such. I will refer to them towards the end of the paper, but only briefly. It might be helpful to read or refer to the major documents I am reflecting on here. They are all available in Latin, English, Spanish, German and Italian on the Vatican Website (vatican.va).

  • Alone with Christ – Amid Thousands Of
    Alone with Christ – amid thousands of World Youth Day pilgrims Despite being surrounded by thousands of young Catholics gathered for World Youth Day 2019, Edmonton pilgrim Ann-Maria Au has been amazed by the ability to feel alone with Christ. “To see thousands of Catholics adore Christ, it was beautiful,” said Au, describing an evening of adoration in Panama City this week. “Every day all the crowds have been loud. I’m always with people. So it was amazing to be able to feel alone with Christ.” Ann-Maria Au and Tatyana Beltran (second and third from left ) were among the Edmontonians on the World Youth Day pilgrimage who were awaiting Pope Francis's arrival in Panama City.Ann-Maria Au Almost 1,400 Canadians are in Panama for World Youth Day this year, including a group of 25 pilgrims from the Edmonton Archdiocese. The event culminates with a Mass on Jan. 27 celebrated by Pope Francis, who arrived in Panama four days earlier. “I don’t know how to describe it,” said NorQuest College student Natalia Sobólska, 23, who is on her first World Youth Day pilgrimage. “It’s beautiful. We’re going to see the pope today and I’m very, very excited to see him.” “We actually saw Pope Francis drive by us a few times already,” added Au. Rev. Roger Niedzielski “I do feel quite tired and sore, but it’s all worth it to celebrate with youth and the pope,” added Father Roger Niedzielski, an associate pastor at St. Joseph’s Basilica and one of two priests in the Edmonton delegation.

  • Ebulletin for 6Th Sunday of Easter
    St Mary’s Catholic Church @ @ @ @ @ Greenville, South Carolina 6 May 2018 Dear Friends in Christ, Between the second lesson and the Gospel appointed for today (both written by the Apostle John), the word love appears seventeen times in sixteen sentences, so the message could not be clearer: the Gospel of Jesus Christ is about love. The centrality of love in Christian faith and life often comes as a surprise to those who do not share our faith because they regard the Church as merely an old scold intent on keeping people shrouded in the darkness and misery of superstition and priestcraft so that the Church can control their lives and behavior with an outdated moral code that should have been left behind with the bubonic plague and the Spanish Inquisition. But given the centrality of love in the Gospel, I think we need an explanation of the failure of so many people to see love in the Church, even allowing for the blinders of bigotry and the human inclination to hold in contempt those whose worldview we do not share. So what might that explanation be? I think one part of it might be the limitations of the English word love and the ways in which those limitations impoverish our imagination. Think of the many ways in which we use the same word. I love pizza. I love New York City. I love the Lord of the Rings. I love bourbon. I love my mother. I love my wife. I love God. Languages other than English often have several words to carry the weight that we force upon one word, and this is especially odd given the comparatively vast size of the useful vocabulary of English which was cobbled together from Greek and Latin through Germanic and Romance languages alike.

Pope Benedict and InterreligiousDialogue A year and a half into his papacy, Benedict XVI faced his first major .£l~international crisis. On September 12, 2006, he delivered an aca- demic lecture in Germany at the University of Regensburg on the theme of faith and reason in Western culture.1 In the context of a discussion on compulsion in religion, Benedict referred to a fourteenth century dia- logue in which the Byzantine Emperor addressed an Islamic scholar: "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman such as the command to spread by the 2 sword the faith he preached." Two days later the Organization of the Islamic Conference, represent- ing fifty-seven Islamic states, issued a press statement expressing "regret" for the "derogatory fallacies defaming Islam," and for the "smear cam- paign" that indulged in "character assassination of the prophet Moham- med." 3 In the days that followed, protests, some violent, occurred in Jakarta, Delhi, London and other cities.
