Speakers - Abstracts Speakers - Abstracts XXIII International Ecumenical Conference on Orthodox Spirituality Bose, 9-12 September 2015 Mercy and forgiveness in collaboration with the Orthodox Churches WALTER Card. KASPER Walter Card. Kasper Christian Forgiveness and Reconciliation among the Churches Walter Kasper (born 5 March 1933, in Heidenheim an der Brenz, Germany) is a German cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He is president Emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, having served as its president from 2001 to 2010. From 1957 to 1958 he was a parochial vicar in Stuttgart. He returned to his studies and earned a doctorate in dogmatic theology from the University of Tübingen. He was a faculty member at Tübingen from 1958 to 1961 and worked for three years as an assistant to the conservative Leo Scheffczyk and Hans Küng. He later taught dogmatic theology at the Westphalian University of Münster (1964–1970), rising to become dean of the theological faculty in 1969 and then the same in Tübingen in 1970. In 1983 Kasper taught as a visiting professor at The Catholic University of America. He was editor of the Lexikon für Theologie und Kirche. Kasper was named Bishop of Rottenburg-Stuttgart, Germany's fourth largest Catholic diocese, on 17 April 1989. On 3 March 1999, Kasper was appointed President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity – and as such, President of the Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews – and resigned from his post in Rottenburg-Stuttgart. He was elevated to the cardinalate by Pope John Paul II in 2001. His books cover all the main areas of theological research and represent one of the main contributions to post-conciliar Catholic theology. ABSTRACT The theme of mercy is central in the Bible, both in the Old and in the New Testaments. One could even summarize the whole Gospel under the title of mercy… Who of us has no need of mercy and of merciful people? This central and fundamental theme has been unpardonably neglected by systematic theology and reduced to a small paragraph under justice… God should condemn and punish the evil and reward the good. What a poor and miserable idea of God, of a God compelled to act according to our ideas of justice, a God who is an idol of our concepts, an executor and prisoner of our requests of an order imagined just! Such a God would no longer be God, but an idol that becomes ideology. Monastero di Bose - Pagina 1 di 16 KALLISTOS WARE, Metropolitan of DIOKLEIA Kallistos Ware The Dynamic of Forgiveness in Easter Fathers Born Timothy Ware in Bath, Somerset, England, Metropolitan Kallistos was educated at Westminster School and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he took a Double First in Classics as well as reading Theology. In 1958, after embracing the Orthodox faith, he travelled throughout Greece, spending a great deal of time at the Monastery of St. John the Theologian in Patmos. He also frequented other major centers of Orthodoxy such as Jerusalem and Mount Athos. In 1966, he was ordained to the priesthood and was tonsured as a monk, receiving the name Kallistos, in honour of St. Kallistos Xanthopoulos. In the same year, he became a lecturer at Oxford, teaching Eastern Orthodox Studies, a position which he held for 35 years until his retirement. In 1979, he was appointed to a Fellowship at Pembroke College, Oxford, and in 1982, he was consecrated to the episcopacy as a titular bishop with the title Bishop of Diokleia, appointed to serve as the assistant to the bishop of the Ecumenical Patriarchate‘s Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain. Despite his elevation, Kallistos remained in Oxford and carried on his duties both as the parish priest of the Oxford Greek Orthodox community and as a lecturer at the University. Since his retirement in 2001, Kallistos has continued to publish and to give lectures on Orthodox Christianity, travelling widely. Until recently, he was the chairman of the board of directors of the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies in Cambridge. He is the chairman of the group Friends of Orthodoxy on Iona. He serves on the advisory board of the Orthodox Peace Fellowship. On March 30, 2007, the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate elevated the Diocese of Diokleia to Metropolis and Bishop Kallistos to Titular Metropolitan of Diokleia. ABSTRACT “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors” (Matt. 6:12). The prayer given to us by Jesus, while comprehensive, is also exceedingly concise. If , them in this short yet wide-ranging prayer, nearly a quarter is devoted to the theme of forgiveness, this indicates how crucially important it is in God’s sight that we should forgive and be forgiven. In the words of the Russian Orthodox starets St Silouan of Mount Athos (1866-1938), “Where there is forgiveness…there is freedom”. If only we can bring ourselves to forgive—if we can at least want to forgive—then we shall find ourselves in what the Psalms call a “spacious place” or “a place of liberty”: “We went through fire and water, but Thou broughtest us out into a place of liberty” (Psalm 66:12). Forgiveness means release from a prison in which all the doors are locked on the inside. Only through forgiveness can we enter into what St Paul terms “the freedom of the glory of the children of God” (Rom. 8:21). JOHN BEHR Monastero di Bose - Pagina 2 di 16 “The Name of LORD God, Merciful and Gracious” (Ex 34,5) Fr. John Behr is the Dean of St Vladimir’s Seminary and Professor of Patristics, teaching courses in patristics, dogmatics and scriptural exegesis at the seminary, and also at Fordham University, where he is the Distinguished Lecturer in Patristics. Fr. John hails from England, though his family background is Russian and German - and clerical on both sides. From the Russian side, his great-grandfather was sent to London by Metropolian Evlogy to serve there as a priest in 1926; his father was also a priest, ordained by Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom), as are his brother (at St Paul’s Monastery on Mt Athos) and his brother-in-law (Sts Cyril and Methodius, Terryville, CT). His maternal grandparents met at Karl Barth’s graduate seminar in Basel, and served in the Lutheran Church in Germany, where his grandfather was a Lutheran pastor. After completing his first degree in Philosophy in London in 1987, Fr. John spent a year studying in Greece. He finished an M.Phil. in Eastern Christian Studies at Oxford University, under Bishop Kallistos (Ware), who subsequently supervised his doctoral work, which was examined by Fr. Andrew Louth and Rowan Williams, now Archbishop of Canterbury. While working on his doctorate, he was invited to be a Visiting Lecturer at St Vladimir’s Seminary in 1993, where he has been a permanent faculty member since 1995, tenured in 2000, and ordained in 2001. Before becoming Dean in 2007, he served as the editor of St Vladimir’s Theological Quarterly, and he still edits the Popular Patristics Series for SVS Press. His early work was on issues of asceticism and anthropology, focusing on St. Irenaeus of Lyons and Clement of Alexandria. After spending almost a decade in the second century, Fr John began the publication of a series on the Formation of Christian Theology, and has now reached the fifth and sixth centuries. He has recently completed an edition and translation of, and introduction to, the remaining texts of Diodore of Tarsus and Theodore of Mopsuestia. He has also published a synthetic presentation of the theology of the early centuries, focused on the mystery of Christ. ABSTRACT The God of the Scriptures is a God of mercy: this is proclaimed repeatedly by the prophets and especially in the Psalms. “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children, to the third and fourth generation.” (Ex 34:5-7). Yet, the words from Exodus also indicate that the covenant that the Lord establishes is a terrible work – something never seen before in all the earth or in any nation. Monastero di Bose - Pagina 3 di 16 When these events and words surrounding the exodus from Egypt are seen as a type and a prefigurement of the awe-inspiring event of the Passion, then we are drawn into an even profounder understanding of the mercy of God, revealed as Christ passes over in his own exodus through the Cross (cf. Luke 9:31). The mercy and faithful love of God is indeed not temporary or transitory, but eternal – stretching out from the beginning to the end, creation to recreation, in an all embrasive economy or pedagogy, bringing us, through suffering, death, and repentance, to share in his life and to show the same mercy towards others that God shows towards us. For the God who is known as the God of mercy, calls us to this: “Be ye merciful, even as your Father is merciful” (Luke 6:36) EUGEN J. PENTIUC Eugen J. Pentiuc Forgiveness in the Old Testament. Joseph and his Brothers Tenured Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs for Hellenic College and Holy Cross in Brookline, MA, The Very Rev. Dr. Eugen J. Pentiuc devotes the bulk of his time to teaching and research in the areas of Old Testament and Semitic languages and civilizations.

  • Sacramental Theology and the World Church
    SACRAMENTAL THEOLOGY AND THE WORLD CHURCH In the last decade or two of his life, Karl Rahner detected the emergent reality of a new era in the history of the Church and, whether consequently or antecedantly, in the history of the world.1 His idea of an incipient "world Church" was prompted by the specifically Catholic experience of the Second Vatican Council, which brought together in Rome some two thousand bishops from all six continents. Rahner was a European, and more particularly a German-speaking European. His active ecumenism bloomed late: it was practically limited to contacts with Germanic Lutheranism, and it remained to the end rather bookish. For good or ill, my own cultural and ecclesial perspectives differ considerably from Rahner's. I am a minister of the British Methodist Church, with whose maternal milk I took in a commitment to ecumenism in its classical Faith and Order form, including the goal of organic unity such as has been achieved or attempted among local and regional churches of different denominations in many parts of the British Commonwealth. I worked for six years as a missionary in French-speaking Equatorial Africa, and for the past five years I have lived in the U.S.A. These differences need to be kept in mind as I seek to interact with Rahner's concept of a world Church, and more particularly from the angle of sacramental theology. The world Church appears first in Rahner's eyes as an historico- geographical phenomenon. But even then it is not merely a matter of extension in time and space.

Emery de Gaál, PhD 1. Introduction: Scheffczyk’s Theological Œuvre The shortest way to introduce Leo Scheffczyk (1920– 2005) to an American theological audience is probably to state that he is “the European Avery Dulles.” Such a generalization is incorrect and yet contains a kernel of truth.1 At the same consistory in 2001, both master theologians were created cardinals by St. John Paul II. It is also most indicative of their contributions to theology that this date coincided with the 200th birthday of Blessed Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801–90), who informed their thinking in central ways.

  • The Marian Library Newsletter
    No. 30 (New Series) Spring, 1995 The Rosary Since Vatican II Reports about the rosary's demise are premature. The same shops which a few months ago sold recordings of Gregorian chant from the monks of St. Dominic de Silos now feature cassettes of the pope reciting the rosary. Those unfamiliar with the rosary appear curious; others wonder whether there might be a relation between the rosary and the current interest in spirituality and prayer. Publishing trends frequently indicate religious interests: twice as many books and articles have appeared on the rosary in the last ten years as there were in the previous twenty. Some form of the rosary has been part of Western Catholicism for almost seven hundred years. Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903) wrote thirteen encyclicals on the rosary, and · twentieth-centUry popes have been its most ardent promot­ ers, both in their writings and by their personal example. Perhaps no one has promoted it more than Pope John Paul II. In the 1940s and 1950s, rosary devotions, rallies, and crusades were part of Catholic life. The rosary was a part Mother and Son Scuplture by Gerard Darwin of the message at Fatima and Lourdes, apparitions which Marist College Canberra (Australia) figured prominently in those decades. Bishop Fulton Sheen explained to television audiences the meaning of his devotions, and that devotional practices, sometimes tinged Mission Rosary, and Father Patrick Peyton tirelessly pro­ with a self-centered individualism, had ceded to the liturgy moted the Family Rosary through rallies in every part of which, because of its official character and communal the world.

  • HERBERT SCHAMBECK the Human Rights in the Doctrine
    HERBERT SCHAMBECK The human rights in the doctrine of the Catholic Church (Translated from German by Mrs. A. Elmendorff-Pfeiffer, Düsseldorf) The human rights1 are in the statute law the expression of the recognition of human dignity2 and of the personification thereof. ROLAND MINNERATH has given hereto a clear illustration: „In the person is given the dignity as an irreductible fact and as a realizable curriculum”.3 I. The human rights represent a value personified in the human being which is prepositive because it takes the lead over the state and its reglementations.4 This value cannot be created by the state or by law, it rather is to be recognized by positive law. The character of the human rights5 is declarative. An existing value is recognized; this is taken up by the statute law of a state and in the text6 is used the term „recognize”, as for instance „the freedom and the human dignity are recognized”. The human rights determine the relations between the individual and the state. Under the ideological aspect the human rights are a substantial part of the occidental lawful way of thinking7 and within them a secularization of Christian thinking8 for which the Catholic Church has laid the base. By the doctrine of the human rights the Catholic Church tries to secure the position of the individual through the law within the state. 1 S.

  • The Second Vatican Council's Doctrine on Mary and St. Pope
    DOGMATIC THEOLOGY Rocznik Teologii Katolickiej, tom XVIII, rok 2019 Rev. Manfred Hauke Theological Faculty of Lugano 0000-0003-2087-0591 DOI: 10.15290/rtk.2019.18.02 The Second Vatican Council’s Doctrine on Mary and St. Pope John Paul II’s Interpretation of It1 This article traces the origin and content of the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church: Lumen Gentium’s chapter on Mary, which served as the focal point of the Second Vatican Council’s doctrine on the Mother of God in the mystery of Christ and the Church. The article proceeds to describe the Archbishop of Cracow Karol Wojtyla’s participation in conciliar discussions on Mary and then focuses on how Pope John Paul II embraced conciliar Mariology and reflected it in his teachings. What St. Pope John Paul II wrote about Mary goes beyond Vatican II’s Mariological teaching and includes Mary’s mediation, consecration to Mary, and Her role as the “Spouse of the Holy Spirit.” Pope Saint John Paul II offers a valuable paradigm for interpreting the Second Vatican Council. Key words: Mariology, John Paul II, Lumen Gentium, Church, Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, Second Vatican Council. Introduction The ancient Church called the Mother of God the “Scepter of Ortho- dox Faith,” meaning that we perceive true faith and the importance of Jesus Christ in the Virgin Mary.2 While leading the Church on earth as Pope Benedict XVI (2005-2013), Joseph Ratzinger recalled a title 1 An earlier version of this article was published in German.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See JOHN PAUL II ANGELUS Sunday, 21 January 2001 Dear Brothers and Sisters! 1. Throughout the world the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is being celebrated, which this year takes its theme from Christ's words: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life". It will close with the solemn ecumenical celebration, at which I will have the joy of presiding in the Basilica of St Paul- Outside-the-Walls next Thursday, 25 January, at 11.00. This year it has exceptional importance, because it will be held a few days after the close of the Great Jubilee, during which we professed with ever new joy that Christ is the only Saviour of the world "yesterday, today and for ever". The quest for unity is one of the most demanding tasks to which Christ's disciples are called at the beginning of the new millennium. It is in this perspective of faith that we head for the future. May the Lord grant us the inexhaustible strength of his Spirit, who is capable of ever new surprises! 2. I now have the joy of announcing that on 21 February next, the eve of the feast of the Chair of St Peter, I will hold a Consistory at which, derogating once again from the numerical limit set by Pope Paul VI and confirmed by me in the Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici gregis (cf. n. 33), I will appoint 37 new Cardinals. Here are their names: 1. Archbishop Giovanni Battista Re, titular Archbishop of Vescovìo, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops; 2.
