Eine Art Entdeckungsreise in eine neue Welt. G Das Studium von Philosophie und Ethnologie an der Universität Wien vermittelte mir darüber hinaus das Kennenlernen von erweiterter Welt – an Denkweisen, Kulturen, Musik, Religionen, Spiritualitäten … Dieses Kennenlernen bezog sich auch auf Menschen. Es muss – wenn ich mich recht entsinne – das erste oder zweite Weihnachtsfest als Student wieder einmal zuhause im kleinen Dorf gewesen sein, als ich zu diesem Fest einen Gynäkologen aus Khartoum und einen Gehirnchirurgen aus Manila auf den Bauernhof einlud. So konnte auch meine Familie zuhause etwas von der weiten Weltluft schnuppern. Damals war von meinem Weg zum Priestertum noch nicht die Rede. Diese überraschende Wende kam erst etwas später. Mein Interesse an der Verschiedenheit der Welt kam mir als Pfarrer der Pfarre „Auferstehung Christi“ in Wien-Margareten (5. Bezirk) zugute. Als der Wunsch eines afrikanischen Priesters, der für die englischsprachige Afrikanisch-katholische Gemeinde zuständig war, nach einer größeren Kirche an mich herangetragen wurde, suchte ich Wege, dieser Gemeinde – in Abstimmung mit dem Pfarrgemeinderat – in meiner damaligen Gemeinde ein Stück Heimat zu geben. Aus einer eher kleineren anderssprachigen, anderskontinentalen Gemeinde von ca. 70–80 Personen wurde im Laufe etlicher Jahre eine Gemeinde, die über 400 Leute anziehen konnte. Gemein- sam gestalteten wir den Palmsonntag, Fronleichnam, das Pfarrfest ... Die Reaktionen der Gemeinde waren quer durch die Altersgruppen entweder recht positiv, immer wieder aber auch kritisch.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See Coat of Arms of His Holiness Benedict XVI Armour bearings have been in common use by soldiers and the nobility since the Middle Ages. This has given rise to a very specific heraldic language to regulate and describe civic heraldry. At the same time, an ecclesiastical heraldry for clergy also developed. This heraldic usage follows exactly the same rules as civic heraldry with regard to the composition and definition of the shield, but surrounds it with religious or Church symbols and emblems according to one's ecclesiastical rank in Holy Orders, jurisdiction and dignity. There is an at least 800-year-old tradition for Popes to have their own personal coat of arms, in addition to the symbols proper to the Apostolic See. Particularly during the Renaissance and the centuries that followed, it was customary to mark with the arms of the reigning Supreme Pontiff all his principal works. Indeed, Papal coats of arms appear on buildings and in various publications, 2 decrees and documents. Popes often used their family shield or composed their own with symbols indicating their ideal of life or referring to past events or experiences, or even elements connected with specific Pontifical programmes. At times, they even added a variant to a shield that they had adopted on becoming a Bishop. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, elected Pope and taking the name Benedict XVI, has chosen a coat of arms rich in symbolism and meaning that transmits to history his personality and Pontificate. A coat of arms consists of a shield bearing several important symbols and surrounded by elements that indicate the person's dignity, rank, title, jurisdiction and more.

  • Vía Del Fundamentalismo Islámico
    Vía del fundamentalismo islámico Pedro Gómez García Los dilemas del islam. Mirada histórica, riesgos presentes y vías de futuro. Granada, Comares 2012: 143-172. En respuesta a las metamorfosis de los tiempos modernos, en el mundo musulmán ha habido un resurgimiento contemporáneo del islam en forma de fundamentalismo y de islamismo militante que, al final, justifica el recurso a la violencia armada y al terrorismo. Los fundamentalistas cuentan con un precedente medieval en el pensamiento rigurosamente ortodoxo del teólogo Ibn Taimiya (1263-1328), que sistematizó una interpretación integrista de la tradición y del Corán. A mediados del siglo XVIII, en Arabia, Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703-1792) creó otra versión del fundamentalismo islámico, buscando un puritanismo coránico. Ya en el siglo XX, los ecos y la inspiración de Ibn Taimiya están presentes en las elaboraciones del egipcio Hasan al-Banna (1906-1949), fundador de los Hermanos Musulmanes, y su correligionario Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966), influyente ideólogo del yihadismo; el indio Muhammad Ilyas (1885-1944), erudito fundamentalista que fundó el movimiento Jamaat Tabligh; el indopaquistaní Abdul Ala Maududi (1903-1979), teólogo y pensador islamista, fundador del partido Jamaat e-Islami; y, en la estela del chiismo, el ayatolá Ruhollah Jomeini (1902-1989), jefe supremo de la revolución islámica iraní. Al unísono, rechazan la modernización y predican un despertar del islam originario. Para ello, insisten en el adoctrinamiento y la organización en torno a la idea central y cardinal de que Dios manda a todos los musulmanes combatir a los no musulmanes, hasta que la ley de Alá se imponga y el islam conquiste el mundo entero.

  • History of Family Crests
    HISTORY OF FAMILY CRESTS A coat of arms or family crest is a shield that tells a story through symbols. If we know how to read the story we can learn about a person’s dignity, rank, title, their history and values that are important to them. Crests were very common in the Middle Ages as designs on the shield of a knight, it was a way to identify him as an individual. The father of a family would pass the crest down to his firstborn son who would alter it slightly to make it his own. PAPAL CRESTS POPE ST. JOHN PAUL II Cross – Represents the central Christian mystery of Redemption Golden “M” – Mary beneath the Cross Tiara – Symbol of Papal authority Crossed Keys – Symbols of spiritual and temporal power POPE BENEDICT XVI Shape – Chalice, commonly used in the Church Gold Chape – Symbol of religion, inspired by Benedictine spirituality Crossed Keys – Symbols of spiritual and temporal power Pallium – Pastor of the flock entrusted to him by Christ Moor’s Head - Ancient emblem of the Diocese of Freising Brown Bear - This recalls the story of St. Corbinian, first Bishop of Freising, who was attacked by a bear. The saint tamed the animal and made him carry his baggage to Rome. The bear is a symbol of the Bishop, tamed by God’s grace and the pack a sym- bol of the burden of the Episcopate. Large Gold Shell – This recalls the legend of St. Augustine who meets a child trying to scoop the water of the sea into a hole in the sand.

  • Priests for Life Defies Constitution and Conscience
    OPPOSITION NOTES AN INVESTIGATIVE SERIES ON THOSE WHO OPPOSE WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH Faithless Politics: Priests for Life Defies Constitution and Conscience INTRODUCTION riests for Life national director Frank Pavone has spent more than 15 years trying vainly to grow his Catholic antichoice group into the mass clerical movement P envisioned in its rhetoric, only to find himself banished to a Texan wasteland. In a country with some 40,000 Catholic priests, Priests for Life (PFL) has never claimed more than 5,000 members—and quietly stopped counting some time around the turn of the 21st century. Unapologetic electoral campaigning, and unabashed cooperation with the most militant antichoice figures, have not brought PFL membership numbers to match the New York priest’s ambitions. Pavone’s nonprofit says it is “for everyone who wants to stop abortion and euthanasia,” “not an association that seeks to be some sort of separate and elite group of priests who claim to be more pro-life than all the rest”1; it boasts the church hierarchy’s approval, strict orthodoxy and a board of archbishops and cardinals. Even by PFL’s own optimistic estimates, however, Pavone appears never to Pavone has always personalized the PFL message and have attracted a membership of more than one in five US priests. His reaction has been to all image, selling himself—often with large photos of himself but give up on the existing priesthood, which he on PFL billboards—much as a candidate for office might do. regularly castigates as too timid on abortion, and to seek to mold young priests in his image at his new Texas refuge.

Jackson Fr. Jackson, flanked by a visiting priest, Consolata Shrine Assistant parish priests, Parish Council Chairman and Catholic Women Association Chairlady cuts the cake during the official welcoming ceremony. Background The Consolata Missionaries are a Catholic community of about one thousand brothers and priests from four different continents. They dedicate their life for the proclamation of the Good News as commanded in the Gospels: “Go into the world and preach the Gospel to the whole Creation.” Mt 28:19. When Blessed Allamano founded the Institute of Consolata Missionaries in 1901 in Turin, a bulletin summarized his intention as “not only to contemplate Christ but also to be active in the world.” This implied that Consolata missions have a universal dimension and an initial drive to change the world through practical action especially to non Christian communities in an integral way. This means in most Fr.
