Nossa análise refere-se à ação social que os jesuítas irão desenvolver no Brasil depois da realização do Concílio Vaticano II, após as XXXI e XXXII Congregações Gerais da Ordem Jesuítica e da eleição do Geral Pedro Arrupe. Nosso objetivo é analisar como os jesuítas reagiram diante os documentos magistrais da Igreja sobre o apostolado social e como estes documentos influenciaram a mudança na postura dos jesuítas. Para tal intento, será necessário verificar a postura que o Geral Pedro Arrupe assumirá para conduzir a Companhia diante deste tema, tendo como base a sua carta aos jesuítas latino-americanos, intitulada: Análise Marxista . Neste estudo, usaremos como fonte os documentos da própria Companhia de Jesus – seus decretos e Atas das Congregações Gerais –, documentos pontifícios sobre a questão social da Igreja Católica, artigos e comunicações de revistas eclesiásticas no Brasil – como a revista jesuítica Perspectiva Teológica e a revista franciscana Revista Eclesiástica Brasileira (REB) – e, por fim, levantamentos históricos e bibliográficos sobre a ação da Igreja Católica no Brasil do século XX e sobre a questão política do Brasil nos anos analisados. Com isso verificamos uma alteração no discurso da Igreja Católica ao longo do século XX sobre a questão social, a qual possibilitou uma aproximação do catolicismo com algumas filosofias modernas, como o marxismo. Isto gerou uma mudança pastoral no interior de toda a Igreja Católica, nos movimentos católicos do Brasil e nas ordens religiosas, como os jesuítas. Palavras-chave: Questão Social. Igreja Católica. Companhia de Jesus. ABSTRACT This paper seeks to contribute to the history of the Jesuit Order in Brazil, with emphasis on the impact of the magisterial documents about the social question, inside the Jesuit Order between the years 1960 and 1982. Our analysis refers to the social action that the Jesuits developed in Brazil after the Second Vatican Council, the XXXI and XXXII General Congregations of the Jesuit Order and the election of Superior General Pedro Arrupe. Our goal is to analyse how the Jesuits reacted to the Church magisterial documents on social apostolate and how these documents influenced the change in the Jesuits’ attitude. To do so, it will be necessary to identify the attitude that Superior General Pedro Arrupe adopted to guide the Society of Jesus regarding this subject, based on his letter to Latin-American Jesuits, called Marxist Analysis. In this study, we shall use as sources documents from the Society of Jesus itself – its decrees and the Acts of the General Congregations --, pontifical documents on the Social Question in the Catholic Church, articles and communicates from ecclesiastical magazines in Brazi. Such as the Jesuit publication Perspectiva Teológica , and the Franciscan magazine Revista Eclesiástica Brasileira (REB) . Finally, historical and bibliographical research on the action of the Catholic Church in Brazil in the XX century, and on the political question of Brazil in those years. In doing so, we shall verify a change throughout the XX century in the discourse of the Catholic Church on the social question, which allowed the approximation between Catholicism and some modern philosophies, such as Marxism. This generated a pastoral shift inside the entire Church, in the catholic movements in Brazil and in religious orders, such as the Jesuits. Key-words: Social Question. Catholic Church. Jesuit Order.

  • Dignitatis Humanae and the Development of Moral Doctrine: Assessing Change in Catholic Social Teaching on Religious Liberty
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Dignitatis humanae and the Development of Moral Doctrine: Assessing Change in Catholic Social Teaching on Religious Liberty A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Barrett Hamilton Turner Washington, D.C 2015 Dignitatis humanae and the Development of Moral Doctrine: Assessing Change in Catholic Social Teaching on Religious Liberty Barrett Hamilton Turner, Ph.D. Director: Joseph E. Capizzi, Ph.D. Vatican II’s Declaration on Religious Liberty, Dignitatis humanae (DH), poses the problem of development in Catholic moral and social doctrine. This problem is threefold, consisting in properly understanding the meaning of pre-conciliar magisterial teaching on religious liberty, the meaning of DH itself, and the Declaration’s implications for how social doctrine develops. A survey of recent scholarship reveals that scholars attend to the first two elements in contradictory ways, and that their accounts of doctrinal development are vague. The dissertation then proceeds to the threefold problematic. Chapter two outlines the general parameters of doctrinal development. The third chapter gives an interpretation of the pre- conciliar teaching from Pius IX to John XXIII. To better determine the meaning of DH, the fourth chapter examines the Declaration’s drafts and the official explanatory speeches (relationes) contained in Vatican II’s Acta synodalia. The fifth chapter discusses how experience may contribute to doctrinal development and proposes an explanation for how the doctrine on religious liberty changed, drawing upon the work of Jacques Maritain and Basile Valuet.

Health, Venerable Brethren, and the Apostolic Blessing.The concern and sorrow which We feel at the present sad plight of human society at large in no way lessen Our special solicitude for Our beloved sons of the Mexican nation and for you, Venerable Brethren, who are the more deserving of Our paternal regard because you have been so long harassed by grievous persecutions.2. From the beginning of Our Pontificate, following the example of Our Venerable Predecessor, We endeavoured with all Our might to ward off the application of those constitutional statutes which the Holy See had several times been obliged to condemn as seriously derogatory to the most elementary and inalienable rights of the Church and of the faithful. With this intent We provided that Our Representative should take up his residence in your Republic.3. But whereas other Governments in recent times have been eager to renew agreements with the Holy See, that of Mexico frustrated every attempt to arrive at an understanding. On the contrary, it most unexpectedly broke the promises made to Us shortly before in writing, banishing repeatedly Our Representatives and showing thereby its animosity against the Church. Thus a most rigorous application was given to Article 130 of the Constitution, against which, on account of its extreme hostility to the Church, as may be seen from Our Encyclical Iniquis afflictisque of November 18, 1926, the Holy See had to protest in the most solemn manner.

EL CAMINO DE LA IGLESIA CATÓLICA EN MÉXICO HACIA LA LIBERTAD RELIGIOSA Paolo Valvo* RESUMEN: Al margen de la evolución sociopolítica y cultural que ha llevado a México del anticlericalismo exacerbado del Constituyente queretano a la reforma constitucional promo­ vida por Carlos Salinas de Gortari en 1992, el conflicto mexicano entre el Estado y la Iglesia —particularmente en los años de la Guerra Cristera— ha contribuido de manera significativa a la evolución del pensamiento católico sobre la libertad religiosa en un nivel no solo nacio­ nal, sino universal. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN MEXICO: THE PATH TOWARD RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ABSTRACT: Apart from the socio-political and cultural evolution that has led Mexico from the 9 exacerbated anti-clericalism of the Constituent Assembly of Querétaro to the constitutional reform promoted by Carlos Salinas de Gortari in 1992, the conflict between the State and the Church in Mexico —especially during the Cristero War— has contributed significantly to the evolution of Catholic thought on religious freedom, at a level that is not only national, but also universal.
