THE INTRIGUING QUESTION Invitation to Dr Theodor Herzl to attend Audience with Pope Pius X On 25 January 1904, the Feast of the Conversion of St Paul, the recently-elected Pope Pius X granted an Audience in the Vatican Palace to Dr Theodor Herzl, leader of the Zionist movement, and heard his plea for papal approval for the Zionist project for a Jewish national home in Palestine. Dr Herzl outlined to the Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church the full details of the Zionist project, providing assurances that the various Holy Places in Palestine would be “ex-territorialised” to ensure their security and protection, and sought the Pope’s endorsement and support, preferably through the issuing of a pro-Zionist encyclical. -

Srećko M. Džaja: “The Bosnian-Herzegovinian Croats: a Historical-Cultural Profile”
Croatian Studies Review 8 (2012) Srećko M. Džaja: “The Bosnian-Herzegovinian Croats: A Historical-Cultural Profile” Srećko M. Džaja* Hörwarthstr. 29 D-80804 Munich, Germany [email protected] Abstract This article provides synthetic account of history and culture of the Croats in modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. The main aim of the study is the historical reconstruction of the genesis of the Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its starting point can be found in the Early Middle Ages, to which the history of the majority of modern European nations stands in continuity. The paper further follows history and culture of the Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina through the Ottoman period, their positioning towards modern national movements in the nineteenth century and the ideologies of the twentieth century. Key words: Croats, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Franciscans, ethnicity * Historian Srećko Matko DŽAJA (*1935 Kupres, Bosnia and Herzegovina) got his degree in theology at the University of Zagreb in 1971 and in 1983 was awarded the degree in philosophy at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich. As a research affiliate at the Institut für Geschichte Osteuropas und Südosteuropas LMU and Südost-Institut in Munich in the 1980s and 1990s Džaja researched history of the south Slav region with main interest in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He published four books and numerous scholarly articles. Džaja is currently retired and lives in Munich. 63 Croatian Studies Review 8 (2012) Bosnia and Herzegovina in national narratives Three ethnic groups reside in today’s Bosnia and Herzegovina (further abbreviated to B&H or simply Bosnia) – the Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs – which are defined in the Constitution of B&H as constitutive nations, and not as national majorities and minorities. -

Conversations on the Diplomacy of the Holy See
CONVERSATIONS ON THE DIPLOMACY OF THE HOLY SEE Accepting the invitation of the Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani University, I would like to thank the Rector, Dr. Vaja Vardidze and Mr. Irakli Javakhishvili for the gracious invitation to speak to you about the diplomacy of the Holy See and its International relations. Thank you to the Illustrious Professors and dedicated student body here today. I propose to you a talk divided in three parts: first, given that the Roman Catholic Church is the only religion in the world that entertains official dip- lomatic relation with states, I believe that it would be helpful to present some background factors that contributed to this reality. I propose to talk about some of the guiding principles and aspects of modern day diplomacy of the Holy See. Finally, I think it would be useful to entertain some of your questions about the Holy See’s international relations. 1. The diplomacy of the Holy See, as Pope Francis stated in his 2017 ad- dress to the Curia, is "the sincere and constant search to make the Holy See a constructor of bridges, peace and dialogue among nations. And being a diplomacy at the service of humankind and of humanity, with an out- stretched hand and an open door, it strives to listen, understand, help, sig- nal and intervene promptly and respectfully in any situation to bridge dis- tances and foster trust".12 Pope Benedict XVI suggested, "As an art of the possible, diplomacy is based on a firm conviction that peace can be better achieved through dia- logue, attentive and discreet listening, rather than through reciprocal re- criminations, useless criticism and demonstrations of strength".13 In 2010, When asked about the contribution of the Holy See to the difficult situation in the Middle East, Pope Benedict XVI further suggested: "I would 12 Address to Roman Curia, 21 / XII / 2017. -

Life in the Wake of the Habsburg Empire. by Dominique Kirchner Reill
Hungarian Historical Review 9, no. 4 (2020): 734–738 BOOK REVIEWS The Fiume Crisis: Life in the Wake of the Habsburg Empire. By Dominique Kirchner Reill. Cambridge: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2020. 312 pp. Dominique Reill, professor at the University of Miami, has done something that Hungarian, Croatian, and Italian historians have failed to do so far: in a coherent monograph, she has broken with a chronological, somewhat nationalist discussion of the political and diplomatic issues of the events in Fiume that followed World War I. This comes as no surprise, since Reill’s thinking has been greatly influenced by the ideas and arguments of István Deák, Pieter M. Judson, and Hannah Arendt, who tended to emphasize the diversity and plurality of the Habsburg Monarchy and reconsidered nationalism, as well as the studies by William Klinger, Ivan Jeličić, and Vanni d’Alessio on Fiume, in which the authors adopted a more modern approach and dispensed with stereotypes. Although Reill does not distance herself from theoretical postmodern theories and models, instead of oversimplifying theoretical discussions and relying on convenient absolutes, she builds her Fiume-narrative on empirical, source- centered research. This means that Reill summarizes the arguments laid out in previous individual studies explicitly and shapes them into a consistent narrative, while also verifying or refuting them by adding her own examples. The subject matter of the volume is thus neither Gabriele d’Annunzio’s extravagant rule nor the career of some prominent figures or the endless disputes about where Fiume belonged. Reill is most interested in the community’s and people’s attitudes in various situations, as well as the continuation, gradual shift, and waning of structures of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. -

A NEW STATUS FOR JERUSALEM? AN EASTERN ORTHODOX VIEWPOINT CharalambosK. Papastathis* I. The religious aspect of the status of Jerusalem is linked directly to the status of the Holy Land, although these two questions appear to be, prima facie, distinct. This paper examines both issues from an Eastern Orthodox viewpoint. United Nations General Assembly Resolutions 181 (II), 194 (III), and 303 (IV) established the de jure status of Jerusalem.' These resolutions stipulated that the city of Jerusalem and its vicinity would constitute a corpus separatum under a special international regime, to be adminis- tered by the United Nations. When Israeli troops entered the City in 1967, however, they established a de facto situation. This de facto situa- tion was later reinforced by Israel's unilateral July 30, 1980 proclamation, declaring Jerusalem as capital of the State of Israel.'

An Analysis of Jerusalem's Place in the Peace Process Alan Baker PAGE • 4 Executive Summary zz On August 21, 2012, Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, referring to “the alleged [Jewish] Temple” in Jerusalem, stated that “there will be no peace, security, or stability unless the occupation, its settlements and settlers will be evacuated from our holy city and the eternal capital of our state.”1 zz This statement, basically denying any Jewish linkage or right to Jerusalem, uttered by the head of the Palestinian Authority who is considered in the international community to be moderate and reasonable, serves as an example of the tremendous political, historical, psychological, legal, and religious challenge that the issue of Jerusalem poses to the Middle East negotiating process. zz This study analyzes the various aspects of this challenge, with a view to determining why a resolution of the Jerusalem question has defied all past negotiators, raising serious questions about the possibility of reaching agreement between the parties regarding Jerusalem. zz Beginning with a brief summary of the significance of Jerusalem to each religious community as well as to the world at large, this study analyzes the various international instruments making reference to Jerusalem, and lists proposals published over the years for solving the issue of Jerusalem. -

THE SOUTHERN SLAVS: LAND AND PEOPLE INTRODUCTORY NOTE THE Jugoslavs form part of the great Slav race, which is itself a branch of the Indo-Aryan race. They are divided into three main groups, the vVestern, Eastern, and Southern Slavs. The Western Slavs include the Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, and the Slavs in Germany (i.e. the Serbs of Upper and Lower Lusatia and the Cassoubs and Slovinci in West Prussia and Pome rania). The Eastern Slavs are the Russians, whose Southern branch goes by the name of Ruthenes in Galicia, Bukovina, and Hungary. The Southern Slavs or Jugoslavs (Jug= South in the Slav tongues) include the Bulgars, Serbo-Croats, and Slovenes. Setting aside the Bulgars, who, by their charac teristics and political aims, form. an entity apart, the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes are one single nation known by three different names. In this and several other pamphlets we propose to deal only with these people, whom we will call "Jugoslavs." T.he Jugoslavs (i.e. the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes) form the compact bulk of the present population of the Balkan Peninsula. Part of the land inhabited by them constitutes the independent Jugoslav kingdoms il 4 THE SOUTHERN SLAVS of Serbia and Montenegro, and the large remaining portion belongs to Austria-Hungary. -
The Causes of Religious Wars: Holy Nations, Sacred Spaces, and Religious Revolutions
The Causes of Religious Wars: Holy Nations, Sacred Spaces, and Religious Revolutions By Heather Selma Gregg Master’s of Theological Studies (1998) Harvard Divinity School B.A., Cultural Anthropology (1993) University of California at Santa Cruz Submitted to the Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology February 2004 Copyright 2003 Massachusetts Institute of Technology All Rights Reserved 1 2 The Causes of Religious Wars: Holy Nations, Sacred Spaces, and Religious Revolutions by Heather Selma Gregg Submitted to the Department of Political Science on October 27, 2003 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Abstract In the wake of September 11th, policy analysts, journalists, and academics have tried to make sense of the rise of militant Islam, particularly its role as a motivating and legitimating force for violence against the US. The unwritten assumption is that there is something about Islam that makes it bloodier and more violence-prone than other religions. This dissertation seeks to investigate this assertion by considering incidents of Islamically motivated terrorism, violence, and war, and comparing them to examples of Christian, Jewish, Buddhist and Hindu bellicosity. In doing so, it aims to evaluate if religious violence is primarily the product of beliefs, doctrine and scripture, or if religious violence is the result of other factors
