Shortly after this declaration in 381 A.D. by the Council of Ephesus, this building became the first major church in the West erected in honor of Mary. SO WHAT? – Are we Catholics plagued with “edifice complexes” or is there something of value here? The day after he was elected to succeed St. Peter, Pope Francis went to St. Mary Major to pray. Before and after each of his overseas apostolic journeys, our current Pope stops into this building to pray. Who is this woman who St. Ann has a parish-wide license with Bishop Robert informs his choices and to whom he brings his questions? Barron’s Word on Fire!

Later, in the Temple after Simeon had acknowledged her son as the Messiah and predicted Jesus’ rejection and Mary’s suffering, we read, “his Pope’s Universal Intention for August mother kept all these things in her heart” (Luke 2:51).

  • The Blood of Love
    The blood of love The martyrs of Algeria (1994-1996) The Church of Algeria This booklet presents a group of nineteen martyrs of the Church of Algeria. All were passionate about their Church, of which they were zealous servants, and passionate also about Algeria and its people where they had weaved their friendships. Humble and gentle, the Lord radiated from their hearts, in their lives and in their silence. They witnessed to a settled, lucid faith, the faith of those preparing the space for dialogue in their prayer and in their presence. They are a very beautiful image of the Church of Algeria: small, a few thousand faithful people, dispersed in four dioceses: Alger, Oran, Constantine- Ippone et Laghouat. It is a living Church by its poverty as it has lost its social power and pomp. Daily, it lives love and service. Thus purified and without ambitions, it can be a bridgehead for dialogue with Islam. The small Church of Algeria is conscious that On the cover: it is living a prophetic Our Lady of Africa – mission, that of creating Cathedral of Algiers. 2 • THE BLOOD OF LOVE for tomorrow the climate for The Church of Algeria does not a most peaceful dialogue forget that it is the inheritor between the Christian faith and of Saint Augustine, the Moslem faith, in the Saint Cyprian and Tertullien. certitude that we are all sons These are all men of light that and daughters of God, the work prepared times of change. of his hands and that the sons The prophetical nature of the and daughters of God will finish small Church of Algeria will by recognising each other.

    DECOLONIZING CHRISTIANITY: GRASSROOTS ECUMENISM IN FRANCE AND ALGERIA, 1940-1965 by DARCIE S. FONTAINE A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History written under the direction of Bonnie G. Smith and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey MAY, 2011 2011 Darcie Fontaine ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Decolonizing Christianity: Grassroots Ecumenism in France and Algeria, 1940-1965 By DARCIE S. FONTAINE Dissertation Director: Bonnie G. Smith This dissertation, “Grassroots Ecumenism: Christianity and Decolonization in France and Algeria, 1940-1965” is the first major study of how French Protestant and Catholic engagement in the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962) reshaped Christianity in the modern world and influenced global religious movements like Ecumenical Movement and Vatican II. The moral questions that surfaced during the Algerian War, including the French military’s use of torture, the repression of civilian populations, and debates about the legitimacy of the Algerian nationalist positions forced Christians across the world to rethink the role of Christianity in imperialism and its future in a postcolonial world. This dissertation examines the shifting dynamics of Christianity’s role in the French empire, from the role that Christianity played in supporting the moral foundations for French colonialism in Algeria, to the ways in which Social Christianity, which emerged in France in the 1930s and 40s, undermined these same moral arguments, including the belief that French colonialism was both benevolent and the only means through which Christian interests could be protected in Algeria.

  • 19 Martyrs to Be Beatified in Algeria by Soniva Sunny, October 31, 2018
    19 Martyrs to be Beatified in Algeria by Soniva Sunny, October 31, 2018 Seven of the nineteen martyrs rose to international fame following the film Of Gods and Men. But on December 8th, all of the 19 men and women martyred by Islamic terrorists in Algeria between 1994 and 1996 will be beatified in Oran, Algeria. The cause for their beatification opened in 2007, thus titling Pierre Claverie and Companions as Servants of God. Earlier this year His Holiness Pope Francis confirmed their beatification. On December 8th the ceremony of beatification will take place in the cathedral of the Diocese of Oran, of which the martyred Pierre Claverie was bishop. Cardinal Angelo Becciu, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, will preside the beatification Mass as well as represent the Holy Father on the occasion. In their press release of October 2018, the bishops of Algeria make it clear that the purpose of the beatification is not to make of these men and women heroes. Rather it is to show that through these ordinary men and women we see how even in the darkest of times there are glimpses of hope. And their unconditional love of God, their country and their people shows us how “only love can end the alienating spiral of evil”. Between 1991 and 2002, Algeria was thrust into a civil war between the Algerian government and Islamic rebel groups. During the years in which the brutality of the rebels reached new heights, 19 men and women had to pay the ultimate price for their Christian faith and unwillingness to leave their land.

  • Mission Through Witness of Life
    Lenten meditations 2019 - Baptised and sent: The Church of Christ on mission in the world 5 Mission through witness of life The missionary dynamism and attraction of the early church in Jerusalem rested on the fearless proclamation of the apostles, the heroic courage of the martyrs and the intense prayer life and solidarity among the early Christians. (cf. Ac 2:4,7) In the history of the Christian mission, it was the testimony of the life of individual Christians and the community of believers who drew people to Jesus and his message. It was especially the willingness of martyrs to suffer and die for their faith that convinced people of the power and truth of the message of Jesus Christ. "The blood of the martyrs is seed of Christians", this saying of the theologian Tertullian, applies not only to the origins of the Church, but also to our time. Never in the history or the church have so many Christians been subjected to discrimination and persecution as today. Religious wars and crimes committed in the name of religion throughout history as well as the current worldwide abuse scandals by her representatives have undermined the credibility of the Church's mission. Explanations and apologies will not undo the damage. Only an authentic witness of living radically the message of Gospel in our personal lives and in our christian communities will make the message of Jesus credible again. What such a testimony can look like becomes visible in the life and death of christians who have lived their faith and their missionary vocation in an exemplary manner.

  • 4. Timothy Radcliffe, O.P., Theologian and Former Master of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans), United Kingdom
    4. Timothy Radcliffe, O.P., Theologian and Former Master of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans), United Kingdom Evangelii Gaudium The Holy Spirit: protagonist of evangelisation: EG 34 – 39; 115 – 118 The Vatican November 28 2019 I am deeply honoured and grateful to have been asked to give this lecture. Above all this is because I have had to reread Evangelii Gaudium. I had forgotten what a joyful and creative document it is. In this conference we are to focus on its reception and what it still summons us to do. The whole document is a meditation on the Holy Spirit as the protagonist of evangelisation. I will begin by saying briefly why this bound to be alarming for us all: too much for some people. Then I will look more closely at the paragraphs about which I have been asked to speak: 34 to 39 and 115 to 118. If the Holy Spirit is the protagonist of evangelisation, we must let ourselves be caught up in his ‘unruly freedom’ (22). We cannot be completely in control of our lives. Jesus tells Nicodemus: ‘The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.’ (John 3.8). This is at the core of the Pope’s spirituality.
