She will once again give her Super Bowl prediction on CNN on the morning of this year’s game. The fun tradition began in 1986 when the Bears made it to the Super Bowl and Sister Jean entered a poem-writing contest for a Chicago radio station. She wrote a poem about Bears’ player William “The Refrigerator” Perry that made her one of the contest winners. “ ‘Monday Night Football’ heard about it and they brought a camera crew to my classroom,” recalls Sister Jean, who now is a substitute teacher and a rectory assistant at St. Francis Borgia Parish in Chicago. “They taped my students reading the poem with me. That’s how it started.” She has been making predictions and writing poems about each Super Bowl ever since. This year’s poem is titled “Manning’s Miami Masterpiece.” Her connections to Indianapolis and Indiana extend beyond her Super Bowl prediction. In 2008, Sister Jean predicted that Indianapolis would be chosen by the NFL to host the 2012 Super Bowl. When her prediction came true, Colts’ owner Jim Irsay gave her three tickets to the Colts’ first regular season game in Lucas Oil Stadium on Sept. 7, 2008. Sister Jean attended the game with two friends, Providence Sisters Barbara McClelland and Rita Ann Wade, who are Colts fans. Sister Jean also enjoys returning to the motherhouse at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. Archbishop Daniel M.

CONCEPTUALIZING IS ARCHETYPES THROUGH HISTORY: A STUDY OF THE ROMAN CURIA Social, Behavioral and Organizational Aspects of Information Systems François-Xavier de Vaujany ISEAG Jean Monnet University [email protected] Abstract Many typologies of I.S. archetypes exist in the current literature. But very few rely on long term past perspectives, which could result in a precious opportunity to suggest innovative configurations related to specific institutional environments. On the other hand, historiography is a subject of growing interest in IS. Nonetheless, if many studies have already been carried out on the history of the technology or computer industries, very few have dealt with organizational IS history. This is regrettable, as it would give researchers a unique opportunity to understand long term IS dynamics and to grasp historical IS archetypes. Here, the author outlines a history of the IS of one of the oldest organizations in the world: the Roman Curia (the headquarters of the Catholic Church located within the Vatican).

    The Holy See ADDRESS OF POPE JOHN PAUL II TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE 36th MEETING OF THE EUROPEAN BROADCASTING UNION Friday, 13 April 1984 Monsieur le Président de l’Union Européenne de Radiodiffusion, Monsieur le Président de la Commission technique, Mesdames et Messieurs, 1. Le 3 avril 1981, peu avant Pâques, j’accueillais ici même la Commission des Programmes radiophoniques de votre Union. Aujourd’hui, trois ans après et en coïncidence avec la même célébration liturgique, la joie m’est donnée de rencontrer les membres de l’Union à son plus haut niveau, au terme des travaux de la Commission technique qui se sont déroulés, sur l’invitation de RadioVatican, à l’intérieur de cette Cité. Soyez les bienvenus, et permettez-moi de saluer en particulier Monsieur Albert Scharf et Monsieur Carlo Terzani. Je les remercie des paroles qu’ils m’ont adressées au nom de tous les participants. Paroles imprégnées de la vive conscience des responsabilités qui vous incombent. Précisément, l’Eglise “experte en humanité”, selon l’heureuse expression de mon prédécesseur Paul VI, et tout à fait persuadée de l’importance de vos activités, ne peut être à votre égard que respectueuse et exigeante. Et que Dieu, Père de tout bien, vous donne d’exercer votre pouvoir considérable avec une conscience qui vous porte sans cesse à chercher le service authentique de l’humanité! La qualification et la finalité de votre Union me sont bien connues. Je pense à votre souci d’étendre le champ de la radiodiffusion, d’échanger des programmes (sur ce point l’Eurovision est l’exemple le plus notoire), de coordonner les études relatives à ce grand moyen de communication, de soutenir également ceux qui sont chargés de mission dans tous ces domaines de la radiodiffusion.

  • POLITICS--The Science of the Possible
    BOOK 8 “. AND GULLIVER RETURNS” --In Search of Utopia-- HOW WE MANIPULATE AND ARE MANIPULATED --POLITICS--The Science of the Possible-- by Lemuel Gulliver XVI as told to Jacqueline Slow © 2010 ISBN 978-0-9823076-0-1 Dear friends—Obviously I wrote this series to be read from Book 1 to the end, but silly me! Readers often begin with what sounds interesting to them. This may leave them unaware of the characters, my friends and I. So let me introduce us. We were boyhood friends, as wild and as close as geese heading south for the winter. But our university educations split us philosophically like a drop of Quicksilver hitting the floor. But like those balls of mercury, when brought together, they again become one. As have we. Ray became a Catholic priest and moved far to the right of where our teenage liberalism had bound us. Ray calls himself a neo-conservative. We think he is a reactionary. Lee slid to the left of our adolescent leanings, and somewhere along the line became an atheist. Lee is a lawyer. Concannon, Con for short, retired from his very successful business. I guess his business experience moved him a bit to the right, to conservatism—a conservative just to the right of the middle. Then there’s me. I think I’m pretty much a middle of the roader—except for my passion to save our planet by reducing our population before global warming, massive poverty and far-reaching famines decimate our humanity. Hope this introduction makes our discussions make a bit more sense.

  • A. Brief Overview of the Administrative History of the Holy See
    A. Brief Overview of the Administrative History of the Holy See The historical documentation generated by the Holy See over the course of its history constitutes one of the most important sources for research on the history of Christianity, the history of the evolution of the modern state, the history of Western culture and institutions, the history of exploration and colonization, and much more. Though important, it has been difficult to grasp the extent of this documentation. This guide represents the first attempt to describe in a single work the totality of historical documentation that might properly be considered Vatican archives. Although there are Vatican archival records in a number of repositories that have been included in this publication, this guide is designed primarily to provide useful information to English-speaking scholars who have an interest in using that portion of the papal archives housed in the Vatican Archives or Archivio Segreto Vaticano (ASV). As explained more fully below, it the result of a project conducted by archivists and historians affiliated with the University of Michigan. The project, initiated at the request of the prefect of the ASV, focused on using modem computer database technology to present information in a standardized format on surviving documentation generated by the Holy See. This documentation is housed principally in the ASV but is also found in a variety of other repositories. This guide is, in essence, the final report of the results of this project. What follows is a complete printout of the database that was constructed. The database structure used in compiling the information was predicated on principles that form the basis for the organization of the archives of most modem state bureaucracies (e.g., provenance).

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO THE PONTIFICAL SWISS GUARD Clementine Hall Friday, 4 May 2018 [Multimedia] Mr Commander, Reverend Chaplain, Dear officials and members of the Swiss Guard, Distinguished guests, Dear brothers and sisters! I address a warm welcome to you all, in particular to the recruits and their families and friends who have wished to share these days of celebration. I respectfully greet the representatives of the Swiss authorities, who have come for this event. You, dear Guards, have the possibility of rendering service for a certain period in Rome, obtaining a unique experience of the universality of the Church. May this time strengthen your faith and increase your sense of belonging to the ecclesial community. The Swiss Guard performs daily a valuable service to the Sucessor of Peter, the Roman Curia, and Vatican City State. It is a job that is carried out in the tradition of steadfast fidelity to the Pope, which had a qualifying moment on 6 May 1527, when your predecessors sacrificed their lives during the “sack of Rome”. The memory of that heroic gesture is a constant invitation to keep present and realize the typical qualities of the Corps: to live consistently the Catholic faith; persevering in friendship with Jesus and in love for the Church; to be joyous and diligent in the great as in the small and humble daily tasks; to have courage and patience, generosity and 2 solidarity with everyone. These are the virtues that you are called to exercise when you provide the service of honour and security in the Vatican, as well as when you are out of uniform.

    The Holy See POPE FRANCIS STATUTES OF THE SECRETARIAT FOR COMMUNICATION Preamble The Secretariat for Communication has been created in order to respond to the current context of communication, characterized by the presence and evolution of digital media and by factors of convergence and interactivity. This new situation requires a reorganization that takes into account the historic development of the Apostolic See’s structure of communication and moves towards a unified integration and management. Chapter 1 Nature and Responsibilities Art. 1 §1.

The Secretariat for Communication will consider new models, technical innovations and forms of communication in order to integrate them into this system, which is at the service of the Holy 2 See’s mission. Art. 2 §1. In carrying out its own functions, the Secretariat for Communication will collaborate with other competent Dicasteries, in particular with the Secretariat of State. §2.
