LADB Article Id: 79316 ISSN: 1054-8890 Catholic Bishops Challenge President Enrique Peña Nieto to Provide Answers on Major Reforms by Carlos Navarro Category/Department: Meixco Published: 2014-05-28 The Roman Catholic hierarchy has traditionally enjoyed a cozy relationship with the federal government, whether the presidency was in the hands of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) or the Partido Acción Nacional (PAN). While the prelates have not always agreed with the decisions of the executive branch, they have generally been reluctant to criticize the president. There were a few exceptions, including the late Bishop Samuel Ruiz García and Bishop Raúl Vera López, who frequently spoke out against government policies that hurt the poor (SourceMex, Jan. 19, 2000, and Jan. 26, 2011). Some Catholic bishops clashed with the PRI-led governments on other issues, including a controversy on the alleged role of the Catholic Church in supporting criminal organizations (SourceMex, April 23, 2008).

  • 'A New Imagination of the Possible': Seven Images from Francis for Post
    ‘A New Imagination of the Possible’: Seven Images from Francis for post-Covid-19 Add to Favorites Antonio Spadaro, SJ / Church Life / 14 July 2020 The first global pandemic of the digital age arrived suddenly. The world was stopped in its tracks by an unnatural suspension of activity that interrupted business and pleasure. “For weeks now it has been evening. Thick darkness has gathered over our squares, our streets and our cities; it has taken over our lives, filling everything with a deafening silence and a distressing void that stops everything as it passes by. We feel it in the air, we notice in people’s gestures, their glances give them away. We find ourselves afraid and lost.” These are the words Pope Francis used to portray the unprecedented situation. He pronounced them on March 27 before a completely empty Saint Peter’s Square, during an evening of Eucharistic adoration and an Urbi et Orbi blessing that was accompanied only by the sound of church bells mixed with ambulance sirens: the sacred and the pain. The pope has also stated that this crisis period caused by the Covid-19 pandemic is “ a propitious time to find the courage for a new imagination of the possible, with the realism that only the Gospel can offer us.”[1] The thick darkness, then, allows us to find the courage to imagine. How was it possible to send out such a message in a moment of depression and fear? We are accustomed to the probable, to what our minds suppose should happen, statistically speaking.

  • A Conversion … in the Language We Use”1
    MELITA THEOLOGICA Paul Pace Journal of the Faculty of Theology Nadia Delicata University of Malta 65/1 (2015): 75–96 “A Conversion … in the Language We Use”1 Introduction ope Francis’ challenge to seek and find an adequate pastoral response to Pnew family situations needs to be taken up boldly. There is no doubt that an important way of doing this is to reflect on the way we, as Church, consider family issues ad intra, but we also need to look at how we seek to communicate truths about the family with and to the world. Is the “Gospel of the Family” offering hope and joy to those in the fold who are struggling with complex family situations? Is it encouraging the conversion of those often deemed to be on the “margins” of the Church? Is our message about family life persuasive – in particular, in our case, in a strongly secularist European context? Reflection not just about the “message” but also about the way it is communicated is a key challenge for theologians, always called to read the signs of the times and to interpret the Gospel afresh. It is pivotal for ministers and church leaders called to guide the faithful along the steps of their pilgrim journey. It is also necessary for the Church’s task of evangelization in a post-Christian continent in particular, and in the “global village” at large. The challenge is that of finding a new language that speaks to the various audiences to whom we, as Church, are sent to share and proclaim the Gospel.

  • En Monterrey, El Futuro Cardenal Mexicano
    En Monterrey, el futuro cardenal mexicano Dll, 27/10/2014 México tiene cuatro cardenales, dos de ellos ya retirados. Pese a tratarse del segundo país del mundo con mayor número de fieles católicos, la Iglesia mexicana sólo cuenta con tres “sedes cardenalicias”, arquidiócesis en las cuales tradicionalmente su titular es purpurado. Este miércoles Benedicto XVI designó a Rogelio Cabrera López como el pastor en una de ellas: Monterrey. Tras ocho meses de sede vacante, la arquidiócesis más importante del norte mexicano ya tiene nuevo responsable. El anterior arzobispo y cardenal, José Francisco Robles Ortega, se trasladó a la sede de Guadalajara a inicios de febrero por haber sido designado, en noviembre de 2011, como el sucesor del también purpurado Juan Sandoval Íñiguez. Diversos observadores consideraban al actual arzobispo de Tlalnepantla y presidente de la Conferencia del Episcopado Mexicano (CEM), Carlos Aguiar Retes, como el candidato natural para Monterrey. Entre otras cosas porque ocupa la presidencia del Consejo Episcopal Latinoamericano (Celam), el máximo órgano representativo de los obispos en la región. En los últimos años su carrera había ido constantemente en ascenso y esta se presentaba como una oportunidad inigualable para acceder al birrete colorado. Fueron meses de una intensa pulseada por la sede cardenalicia. Aunque Aguiar contaba con algunos apoyos clave, el resto de los cardenales se opusieron con fuerza a su candidatura. Especialmente el emérito de Guadalajara, Sandoval, quien ya había tenido un cruce con el presidente de la CEM en marzo de 2011 como consecuencia de la aprobación de una reforma a la Constitución Mexicana en materia de derechos humanos.

Thinking and Feeling with the Church (Sentire Cum Ecclesia) Susan K. Wood Marquette University, Wisconsin In the sixteenth century, St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus, developed eighteen rules for ‘thinking with the church’ (sentire cum ecclesia) in his Spiritual Exercises. In many ways, it is an odd list that gives witness to its post-Reformation provenance. It includes such things as commending the confession of sins to a priest and frequent assistance at mass, approval of religious vows, veneration of relics, abstinence and fasts, and not speaking of predestination frequently. The historian reads these against the predestination of Calvin’s doctrine, Luther’s critique of monasticism, and the Reformation criticism of masses offered for the dead.

  • The Effectiveness of Restorative Justice in Response to Clergy Abuse
    \\jciprod01\productn\U\UST\17-1\UST103.txt unknown Seq: 1 26-MAR-21 10:42 ARTICLE HEALING THE HARM—THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE IN RESPONSE TO CLERGY ABUSE DANIEL GRIFFITH* In this article, I describe the nature of restorative justice, its origins, and its many practical uses in response to harm, including the harm of clergy abuse. Restorative justice interfaces well with the discipline and practice of law, as both are oriented to classic justice—giving each their due. Restorative practices are also consistent with biblical justice in that they foster right relationship among those who have been harmed and broader society. The fall 2019 law symposium at the University of St. Thomas School of Law ably demonstrated the utility of restorative justice in healing harm, as manifested through its diverse and adaptable applications.1 In teaching restorative justice to law students, my colleague Professor Hank Shea and I have discovered an openness to restorative practices and their power to bring personal healing to law students, where needed. In addition, restorative practices align well with important practical legal skills, consis- tent with emerging research that demonstrates that skills of listening, empa- thy, and teamwork are integral to successful lawyering.2 Drawing from restorative justice’s use in St. Paul and Minneapolis, critical foundations of biblical and Catholic thought, and the rich stories of Justice Janine Geske, a pioneer in this field, I will demonstrate why restora- * Daniel Griffith, a priest of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, was ordained in 2002.
