  • The Manual for Assistance to the SFO and to the Franciscan Youth
    Conference of the General Spiritual Assistants OFS-YouFra M A N U A L for assistance to the OFS and to the Franciscan Youth Rome, 2006 / 2012 PREMISE Conference of the Ministers General of the Franciscan First Order and TOR From the beginning, the charism of Francis and Clare of Assisi has fascinated men and women who, even in diverse states of life, have followed their example to bring the Gospel of Christ to the world. These have always constituted a single Family that, through the centuries, has known how to maintain among its members solid links of collaboration and has always offered reciprocal support. Moreover, belonging to this Family has been constantly guaranteed by the strong sense of communion, by sharing the same ideals and deepest aspirations, by the acknowledgment of being included in one and the same call to live the gospel life according to a properly Franciscan style. One of the instruments that has strongly contributed to keeping alive this profound unity of the Franciscan identity in its three Orders is certainly that of spiritual and pastoral assistance of the OFS, entrusted by the Church to the Franciscan First Order and to the TOR. This mandate, which every Friar has received in regard to their secular Brothers and Sisters, in order to be better guaranteed, is always carried out by some in particular, the spiritual Assistants, those most personally committed so that all, in “life-giving union”, may proceed towards the fullness of life to which the Lord has called us. It is a matter of a great responsibility because the spiritual Assistant, offering his or her own contribution especially in the area of formation, helps the Brothers and Sisters of the OFS to grow in fidelity to the unique Franciscan charism, in communion with the Church and in union with the entire Franciscan Family.

Padre Agostino Gemelli and the crusade to rechristianize Italy, 1878–1959: Part one Abstract Padre Agostino Gemelli (1878-1959) was an outstanding figure in Catholic culture and a shrewd operator on many levels in Italy, especially during the Fascist period. Yet he remains little examined or understood. Scholars tend to judge him solely in light of the Fascist regime and mark him as the archetypical clerical fascist. Gemelli founded the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan in 1921, the year before Mussolini came to power, in order to form a new leadership class for a future Catholic state. This religiously motivated political goal was intended to supersede the anticlerical Liberal state established by the unifiers of modern Italy in 1860. After Mussolini signed the Lateran Pacts with the Vatican in 1929, Catholicism became the officialeligion r of Italy and Gemelli’s university, under the patronage of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939), became a laboratory for Catholic social policies by means of which the church might bring the Fascist state in line with canon law and papal teachings.

  • The Evolving Missiology of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary By
    i The Evolving Missiology of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary by Heather Mona Weedon Ba. Theol, Ma. Theol A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology University of Divinity 2017 ii ABSTRACT This thesis traces the ways in which the missiology of the Institute of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary has evolved from its beginning, and how it has expanded its self- understanding following the recommendations of the Second Vatican Council, and the further evolution following subsequent events of the new millennium. During her time as the spiritual guide of her Institute, the foundress, Helene de Chappotin, repeated time and again her cry to God: “Where are you leading me?” Taking up this prayer, this thesis will use the same question as the springboard to discover how the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary have evolved and are still evolving. While there was little change in the missiology of the Institute until the Second Vatican Council, the Sisters continued their Foundress’ charism by following her example and studying her writings. In this way they continued to evolve their Missiology according to the to the signs of the times and the situations in which they encountered others. iii DECLARATION OF ORIGINALITY I certify that this thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of another degree or diploma in any university or other Institutions, and affirm that to the best of my knowledge the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text of the thesis.
