    The Holy See APOSTOLIC VISIT OF HIS HOLINESS POPE JOHN PAUL II TO AZERBAIJAN AND BULGARIA EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION HOMILY OF THE HOLY FATHER Baku Sports Palace Thursday, 23 May 2002 1. "Honour to you who believe!" (1 Pt 2:7). Yes, beloved brothers and sisters of the Catholic community of Baku, and all of you who come from the Catholic communities in the neighbouring countries, "honour to you who believe!" I greet the Christians of the Orthodox Church who have joined us for this solemn moment of prayer, with their Bishop, Alexander. To them too I address the words of the Apostle Peter to the first Christians: "Honour to you who believe!". The universal Church pays tribute to all those who succeeded in remaining faithful to their Baptismal commitments. I am thinking in particular of those who live permanently in this country and who experienced the tragedy of Marxist persecution, and bore the consequences of their faithful attachment to Christ. Brothers and sisters, you saw your religion mocked as mere superstition, as an attempt to escape the responsibilities of engagement in history. For this reason you were regarded as second class citizens and were humiliated and marginalized in many ways. 2. "Honour to you who believe!" Honour to your grandfathers and grandmothers, to your fathers and mothers, who nurtured the seed of faith in you, nourished it with prayer, and helped it to grow and bear fruit. I wish to repeat once again, honour also to you, the holy Orthodox Church; you opened your doors to the Catholic faithful, who were without fold or shepherd.

  • Catholic Minority in Modern Azerbaijan1
    STUDIA ORIENTALNE 2018, nr 2 (14) ISSN 2299-1999 Julia Krajcarz Catholic minority in modern Azerbaijan1 he question of the Catholic Christianity in Azerbaijan recently has been deeply worked out, analyzed and discussed in numerous pub- lications,T both printed and digitally widespread in the Internet, in Azer- baijan and abroad. Among them there are books and papers prepared on the academic level as well as publicistic, informative and also sensational media texts. This focus on the mentioned topic could be caused by many factors, among them the most significant are: stable, constant and good cooperation between the Azerbaijani government or its specialised agen- das and the Holy See, two visits of the pontiff, Bishop of Rome and the leader of Worldwide Catholic Church, John Paul II in 2002 and Francis in 2016, increasing number of parishioners of the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Baku, few years-persperctive distance of the history of re- newed Catholic community in Azerbaijan, the phenomenon of governa- mental support for non-Muslim religious communities in the traditionally Muslim country, legal guarantee of the freedom of religious beliefs etc. Methodology, aim The aim of this paper is to broaden some observations and add new ones concerning the subject of the Azerbaijani Catholics, the history of the community, experiences and reflexions of its members. Presented data was gathered and formulated during the fieldwork research undertaking in August 2017 by the paper’s author. The author analyzed several printed and online publications about the Azerbaijani Catholic minority before the conversations with Azerbaijani Catholics attending religious service kept at church and chapel in Baku.

  • Challenges to the Churches in Asia Today*
    Challenges to the Churches in Asia Today* Georg Evers ABSTRACT Georg Evers, in “Challenges to the Churches in Asia Today,” begins with a brief overview of the situation of the Asian churches before Vatican II. He then discusses the significance of the Council for the Asian churches with special attention to the founding of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences. He describes the main characteristics of the Catholic churches in Asia. In the main theme of his talk, “The Challenges to the Asian Churches,” Evers presents prophetic figures who have inspired the churches to radical Christian commitment and invites us to examine contemporary secular and theological challenges. *Talk given at the East Asian Pastoral Institute Alumni Homecoming, 4 October 2005 (Manila, Philippines). Originally published in East Asian Pastoral Review 43, no. 2 (2006): 152–72.. 20 Evers, Challenges to Churches in Asia Today 21 Introduction My personal competence – if I may claim to have any – results from 22 years of having been on the Asia Desk of the Instiutute of Missiology, Missio in Aachem, Germany. In this capacity I observed developments in the Asian churches with a special focus on contextual theologies, the theology of reli- gions and interreligious dialogue within Asian theology for our bibliograph- ical journal Theology in Context. For more than ten years, I took part in the annual meetings of the Theological Advisory Commission, now called Office of Theological Concerns of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC), first as an observer and later as a resource person. My extensive trav- eling in Asia brought me into contact – however short the time – with most Asian countries and the local Catholic churches there.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER JOHN PAUL II TO CARDINAL CRESCENZIO SEPE SPECIAL ENVOY IN MONGOLIA To His Eminence Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe Prefect of the Congregration for the Evangelization of Peoples 1. With great joy I write to you, Venerable Brother, as you prepare to visit for the second time the young Christian community which dwells in the vast Asian country of Mongolia, rich in history and cultural traditions. Last July you visited Ulaanbaatar, the capital of the Mongolian nation, in order to celebrate the the tenth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and the Holy See and to highlight the lively presence in the region of a Christian community of relatively recent foundation. Although the first evangelization of Mongolia was due to the arrival of Nestorians from Persia in the seventh century, it was only in the first half of the twentieth century that a mission in that distant region was entrusted to the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The pro- Communist regime of the time at first prevented the missionaries from entering the region. With the end of the Communist dictatorship the doors were finally opened to the Gospel, and from 1991 on the first evangelizers began to arrive: priests, men and women religious, and laypersons actively engaged in the "Lord's vineyard." To demonstrate the fruitful and positive advances made in this decade, last year witnessed two events fundamental for the life of the Church: the elevation of the Mission sui iuris of Urga, Ulanbator to the rank of Apostolic Prefecture with the new name of Ulaanbaatar, and the subsequent appointment of the first Apostolic Prefect in the person of the Reverend Father Wenceslaw Padilla, C.I.C.M., as well as the first ordination of three priests and a deacon who, while not natives of the country, consider Mongolia as their adopted homeland.

New Year’s Day (Nowruz) coincides with the spring equinox, and the months, in our country, are named after the signs of the zodiac. Even the liturgical calendar is closely con- nected with the rhythm of seasons. Apart from the Ember Days (Quattuor Tempora), whose arrangement is now rightly referred to the national Conferences of Bishops, in the General Roman Calendar the cycle of seasons is marked by some important litur- gical celebrations. Coinciding with the be- ginning of winter (solstice: 21/22 Decem- ber) we observe Christmas. The ancient Ro- mans on December 25 celebrated the festi- val of Sol Invictus (“Unconquered Sun”); Christians transformed that pagan festivity into the solemnity of the birth of Christ “Sun of justice.” At the beginning of spring (equinox: 20/21 March), the Church cele- brates, on March 25, the Annunciation of the Lord, that is, his conception in the womb of the Virgin Mary (exactly nine months be- fore his birth).
