By doing so he assumed responsibility for the agreement and clarified any possible doubt about its intention and spirit. Commenting on the text, we highlight here five aspects of the Message: the complete continuity between the approach of Pope Francis and that of his two predecessors; the importance of the papal mandate for episcopal ordinations as a guarantee of the unity of the Church; the fact that the union of all the bishops with the pope is the premise for the full reconciliation of the Church in China; the fundamental perseverance of Chinese Catholics in fidelity to the pope, making the agreement possible; the important innovation of the recognition by the Chinese political authorities of the value of the religious bond between the pope and the Church in China. ARTICLE 7 THE HISTORY OF RELATIONS BETWEEN THE HOLY SEE AND CHINA Federico Lombardi, SJ From the 19th century to today, relations between the Holy See and China have experienced many ups and downs: from the French protectorate of missions in China to the dramatic Boxer Rebellion and then diplomatic relations; from the rise to power of Mao Zedong to the reforms implemented by the new regime and now the dialogue currently underway. Since the beginning of his pontificate Pope Francis has repeatedly expressed a lively and cordial affection for Chinese people, and contacts have multiplied in recent years. The rest is current affairs. ABSTRACTS ARTICLE 17 EUROPE IN AN EXERCISE OF SOCIAL IMAGINATION Camillo Ripamonti, SJ The bi-directional integration of migrants, involving those who welcome migrants and those who are welcomed, is a challenge for the foreseeable future of a Europe that wants to foster a pluralist society. By applying creativity and imagination to build cohesive and supportive communities, civil society in Italy, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Malta, Poland, Portugal and Romania, for example, has been establishing synergies between citizens and migrants, enabling them to live in new national contexts. The Jesuit Refugee Service in Europe, for years working in the field to favor dialogue and inclusion of migrants within communities, has mapped out some of these experiences, which are clearly at odds with some disruptive forces that are increasingly prevalent today. The author is the director of Centro Astalli, the Roman center of the Jesuit Refugee Service. LIFE OF THE CHURCH 26 THE POPULAR CONSCIENCE OF THE CHURCH A BRIEF ITINERARY FROM ECCLESIAM SUAM TO EVANGELII GAUDIUM Jorge R. Seibold, SJ In this article we try to show the link between Ecclesiam Suam of Paul VI and Evangelii Gaudium of Pope Francis regarding the popular conscience of the Church. After its first Conference in Rio de Janeiro (1955) the Latin American Church became increasingly aware of the remarkable cultural, political and economic changes on that continent. It rediscovered the value of popular piety, basic ecclesial communities and the importance of dialogue between faith and culture. These discoveries were taken up by Pope Francis in Evangelii Gaudium. The author is emeritus professor of philosophy at the USAL, University of San Miguel (Argentina). ABSTRACTS FOCUS 35 RESTORATIVE JUSTICE IN BRAZIL THE EDUCATIONAL METHOD OF APAC PRISONS Francesco Occhetta, SJ The educational method in prisons run under the Association of Protection and Assistance to the Convicts (APAC), founded in 1972 in São Paulo (Brazil), does not provide any reduction in sentencing for parole, but offers the possibility of a humane rehabilitation: the inmates, called “recuperandi” (recovering people) are locked up in structures without bars and without guards; recidivism has been reduced from 85 percent to 15 percent, while management costs have decreased by a third compared to those of the state sector. This applied model of restorative justice, in which “people are not their mistakes,” as we read on the walls of APAC prisons, remains a strong human-centered challenge for criminal law. Rehabilitation includes reaching out to the deepest core of the person, namely, the spiritual life. Civil society takes an active part in the recovery process. FOCUS 44 JUSTICE IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY BUILDING SUSTAINABLE AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES GianPaolo Salvini, SJ Requested in June 2016 by the previous Superior General of the Jesuits, Fr. Adolfo Nicolás, and written by a group of Jesuits and lay experts, this article presents a document dedicated to the issue of justice throughout the world, especially from an economic point of view. The current economic system has multiplied the number of goods and services but has distributed them in a very uneven and unfair manner, increasing those inequalities in the world that create the premises for new conflicts. A series of reforms that could reduce inequalities and the most unjust mechanisms is indicated in order to improve the situation of the world’s poorest, those discarded by the system. ABSTRACTS ART, MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT 54 A FAMILY AFFAIR: KORE-EDA HIROKAZU’S FILM SHOPLIFTERS Virgilio Fantuzzi, SJ Following a shoplifting spree in a supermarket, a poorly dressed man and a boy (father and son?) stumble across a cold and abandoned child. They take her home with them. Home is a shack where we find a father who is not a father, a mother who is not a mother, a sister who is not a sister, and an elderly woman everyone calls ‘granny.’ Her pension sees that everyone lives together. As in previous films, and again in ‘Shoplifters’ – winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2018 Cannes film festival – Japanese director Kore-eda Hirokazu reflects on the nature of blood ties that do not always coincide with affective bonds. PROFILE 57 NELSON MANDELA: HIS LIFE AND LEGACY Anthony Egan, SJ The year 2018 saw the centenary celebrations of the birth of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. Co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 and the recipient of many honors, he was the first president of post-apartheid democratic South Africa (1994-1999) and is recognized by consensus as one of the greatest statesmen of the 20th century. This article examines his career, his leadership style, his faith and some of the posthumous controversies about him, concluding that his greatness remains intact, despite his many flaws. The author is professor of Ethics at the Steve Biko Centre For Bioethics at the University of the Witwatersrand (Johannesburg).

BIRGITTA OF SWEDEN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF HUMANITIES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY INSTITUTE OF HISTORY, CULTURE AND CIVILISATION CENTRE FOR MEDIEVAL STUDIES BY EMILIA ŻOCHOWSKA ODENSE FEBRUARY 2010 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In my work, I had the privilege to be guided by three distinguished scholars: Professor Jacek Salij in Warsaw, and Professors Tore Nyberg and Kurt Villads Jensen in Odense. It is a pleasure to admit that this study would never been completed without the generous instruction and guidance of my masters. Professor Salij introduced me to the world of ancient and medieval theology and taught me the rules of scholarly work. Finally, he encouraged me to search for a new research environment where I could develop my skills. I found this environment in Odense, where Professor Nyberg kindly accepted me as his student and shared his vast knowledge with me. Studying with Professor Nyberg has been a great intellectual adventure and a pleasure. Moreover, I never would have been able to work at the University of Southern Denmark if not for my main supervisor, Kurt Villads Jensen, who trusted me and decided to give me the opportunity to study under his kind tutorial, for which I am exceedingly grateful. The trust and inspiration I received from him encouraged me to work and in fact made this study possible. Karen Fogh Rasmussen, the secretary of the Centre of Medieval Studies, had been the good spirit behind my work.

  • Renaissance Receptions of Ovid's Tristia Dissertation
    RENAISSANCE RECEPTIONS OF OVID’S TRISTIA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gabriel Fuchs, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Frank T. Coulson, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Tom Hawkins Copyright by Gabriel Fuchs 2013 ABSTRACT This study examines two facets of the reception of Ovid’s Tristia in the 16th century: its commentary tradition and its adaptation by Latin poets. It lays the groundwork for a more comprehensive study of the Renaissance reception of the Tristia by providing a scholarly platform where there was none before (particularly with regard to the unedited, unpublished commentary tradition), and offers literary case studies of poetic postscripts to Ovid’s Tristia in order to explore the wider impact of Ovid’s exilic imaginary in 16th-century Europe. After a brief introduction, the second chapter introduces the three major commentaries on the Tristia printed in the Renaissance: those of Bartolomaeus Merula (published 1499, Venice), Veit Amerbach (1549, Basel), and Hecules Ciofanus (1581, Antwerp) and analyzes their various contexts, styles, and approaches to the text. The third chapter shows the commentators at work, presenting a more focused look at how these commentators apply their differing methods to the same selection of the Tristia, namely Book 2. These two chapters combine to demonstrate how commentary on the Tristia developed over the course of the 16th century: it begins from an encyclopedic approach, becomes focused on rhetoric, and is later aimed at textual criticism, presenting a trajectory that ii becomes increasingly focused and philological.

  • Introduction
    INTROdUCTION 1. In the footstep of Ecclesia in Asia Saint John Paul ii in the paragraph 9 of his post-synodal Exhortation Eccle - sia in Asia gave us a short synthesis of the history of the Church in the conti - nent under the title “the Church in Asia: past and present”. With this hand - book of Asian Church History we intend to offer students and readers a suit - able development of the essential data and intuitions we find in the post-syn - odal document. our purpose is principally academic. Hopefully, it should be a tool for teachers and students, but we do not exclude other possible readers, or consulters for a specific event or chapter of this rich and long history. in fact, as we know from history and experienced when we were there, the Christian presence in some parts of Africa and America is much more recent. instead, Asia is really the cradle of Christianity and the origins of many Asian communities are apostolic. We think especially of Middle East Churches and St. thomas’ Christians (india). Knowing that the majority of Asian students are non-native English speak - ers, we have tried to write our manual in a very simple language in order to facilitate its comprehension and use. Among our limitations we point to the lacking development of Protestant Missions that appear so abundant since the 19 th century, and deserve an ac - curate attention in the present moment of evangelization. instead we pre - sented the different oriental Churches with the ecumenical purpose of spreading their knowledge among Catholic public, and foster increased col - laboration.
