Obedience? + Most Rev. John B. Brungardt Bishop of Dodge City What’s this about a priest promising to obey his bishop? I’m a grown man, I don’t obey anyone! Well, I guess I follow the directions of a police officer if he asks me to do something, and I do comply with the IRS and pay my taxes. But just what is this “obedience” stuff? ather Don Bedore, at his ordination to the Fpriesthood in May, answered “Yes” to my question, “Do you promise obedience to me and my successors?” What would motivate Father Don TheThe HarvestHarvest to make this radical promise? The verb “to obey” is from the Latin root audire Then he said to his disciples, Faithful invited to meaning “to listen”. My seminary professor de- scribed it: to obey is to raptly, carefully listen.

We priests are called to do the same. Jesus “became the source of eternal -- Page 3 salvation for all who obey him” (Hebrews 5:9). Father Don embraced this amazing call from God at his ordination. Guys, let us carefully listen to -- let us obey -- our Gentle Jesus. Listen to his call to be a priest or a husband and dad, and follow. Jesus will tell you in your prayer. He loves you more than you can ask or imagine.

A singularidade desta diplomacia e a sua invulgar eficiência tornam-se marcantes neste domínio. Com o presente trabalho pretende-se dar a conhecer a actividade desta diplomacia, assim como expor a função que esta desempenha ao nível da diplomacia internacional. Destacando alguns períodos em que a sua actividade teve mais impacto ao nível das Relações Internacionais e, aprofundando o sentido da sua actividade no mundo contemporâneo, pretende-se assim ilustrar aquela que é considerada a mais antiga diplomacia no âmbito internacional, e que apesar de ser frequentemente olhada pelo prisma religioso, encerra em si uma intensa actividade com os círculos do poder. Palavras-Chave: Diplomacia; Igreja e Sociedade Civil; Relações Internacionais; Santa Sé. Abstract: The diplomacy of the Holy See: evolution and current issues In international relations, diplomacy of the Holy See is one of the least known and studied topics.

  • View Are Equally Good (Or Bad)
    The Destruction of the Christian Tradition (Part 5) by Rama P. Coomaraswamy, MD Source: Studies in Comparative Religion, Vol. 14, No. 1 & 2. (Winter-Spring, 1980). © World Wisdom, Inc. www.studiesincomparativereligion.com The Road to Hell is paved with “Good Intentions” In the Gospel also we read that it was foretold that our foes should rather be of our own household, and that they who have first been associated in the sacrament of unity shall be they who shall betray one another. —(Epistles of St. Cyprian LIV) Why have all these changes been instituted? One must remember that, as William Blake said of a former pontiff: “And Caiaph was, in his own mind, A benefactor to mankind.” What led men who presumably are “sincere” and of “good will” to break with the traditions established by the Apostles and the teachings held by the Church throughout the ages? What has induced those responsible to follow the suggestions of the Modernist Tyrrell to the effect that they believed that what the Church needed was “a liberal infusion of Protestant ideas?” Why has the “fort” been abandoned “by those even of whom it should be guarded?” Either those responsible had a defective faith, or they were not even Christian! For all their “sincerity” and “good will”, they, like the Protestant Reformers of an earlier age, could not abide and accept Holy Mother Church as she had always been. It was perfectly obvious to those brought up in the traditional Church that her mind and thinking was diametrically opposed to that of so-called “contemporary man”.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER TO MARK THE CENTENARY OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE PONTIFICAL ORIENTAL INSTITUTE AND THE CONGREGATION FOR ORIENTAL CHURCHES To Venerable Brother Cardinal Leonardo Sandri Grand Chancellor of the Pontifical Oriental Institute On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Pontifical Oriental Institute, several months after the centenary of the establishment of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches (cf. Benedict xv, Motu Proprio Dei Providentis, 1 May 1917), it is my pleasure to address a cordial greeting to you, venerable Brother, and to the entire Academic Community. Almost half a century before the Conciliar Decree Orientalium Ecclesiarum, my venerable Predecessor wished to draw attention to the extraordinary richness of the Eastern Churches, by founding the Pontifical Oriental Institute here in Rome, on 15 October 1917. Even in the midst of the turbulence of the first world conflict, the Pontiff understood the need to pay special attention to the Eastern Churches. For its foundation, Benedict xv recalled that openness to the Orient that had blossomed with the Eucharistic Congress of Jerusalem of 1893, with the aim of creating a study centre which would serve — as affirmed in the founding document — as “an ideal setting for the advanced study of Oriental issues”, destined to train “also Latin priests who wish to exercise their sacred ministry among Orientals”. From the outset, it was intended that this “study centre [be] open to Orientals, both the affiliated and the so-called Orthodox”, so that “the exposure of Catholic and, at the same time, Orthodox doctrine could proceed simultaneously” (Benedict xv, Motu Proprio Orientis Catholici, 15 October 1917: aas 9 [1917], 532).

  • Dialogue As a Strategy of Struggle: Religious Politics in East Germany, 1957–1968
    Contemporary European History (2020), 29, 171–186 doi:10.1017/S0960777320000065 ARTICLE Dialogue as a Strategy of Struggle: Religious Politics in East Germany, 1957–1968 Heléna Tóth History Department, Otto-Friedrich-University, Fischstrasse 5/7, 96047 Bamberg, Germany [email protected] Abstract This article argues that the topos of dialogue between Christians and Marxists fulfilled a key role in the creation and maintenance of power relations in religious politics in East Germany. Three case studies illus- trate the topos of dialogue as a strategy of struggle: 1. the campaign against ‘revisionism’ and ‘politicised religion’; 2. the church policy strategy of ‘differentiation’; 3. the critique of the phenomena commonly associated with the Christian–Marxist dialogue outside East Germany in the mid-1960s. These instances of socialist religious politics, while having their own dynamics, were closely related through specific actors and argumentative strategies. In 1990, one year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, long-time editor of the Journal of Ecumenical Studies (JES), Leonard Swidler, took stock of the history of the Christian–Marxist dialogue as a long tradition with renewed political relevance. Swidler believed that the rapidly changing tectonics of global politics made a historical overview necessary: as ‘today the two Communist giants, the USSR and China, are in a variety of ways opening themselves up to dialogue and cooperation with many of their erstwhile enemies, including Christianity’.1 Together with the co-editor of

  • L'église Catholique En Russie De 1917 À Nos Jours Jean-François Bourret Professeur Émérite À L'université Lumière-Lyon II
    L'Église catholique en Russie de 1917 à nos jours Jean-François Bourret Professeur émérite à l'université Lumière-Lyon II Dès les lendemains de la révolution de 1917, l'Église catholique, dont les efforts de négociation avec le nouveau gouvernement restèrent vains, réagit par des consécrations secrètes d'évêques. Au cours des années vingt et trente, elle fut combattue au même titre que les autres confessions chrétiennes et l'étau se resserra pendant la deuxième guerre mondiale, particulièrement pour les citoyens soviétiques de langue allemande. Dès les années soixante, on constata, malgré d'incessantes vexations, une renaissance des communautés chrétiennes occidentales. La chute du régime communiste, si elle a permis un renouveau de toutes les confessions chrétiennes, a aussi réveillé les très anciens griefs de l'Église orthodoxe vis-à-vis de Rome. Le choc de la révolution bolchevique La carte du catholicisme en Russie, telle qu'elle avait été dressée par le concordat entre le Saint-Siège et l'Empire russe fut modifiée suite aux bouleversements territoriaux des confins occidentaux de l'État issu de la Révolution. Le diocèse de Vilna se trouva de facto partagé entre la Lituanie et la Pologne, et celui de Sagomitie était entièrement en Lituanie, indépendante depuis le 12 juillet 1920 ; le diocèse de Loutsk et Jitomir fut amputé des provinces de Volhynie et de Podolie cédées à la Pologne. Le diocèse de Tiraspol perdit la Bessarabie cédée à la Roumanie. Amputé lui aussi dans sa partie occidentale, l'archevêché de Moghilev restait au début des années vingt le plus vaste diocèse du monde.

Th is era can be seen as a turning point in the history of clashes over religion, which now reached levels that recalled the culture war (‘Kulturkampf’) of the nineteenth century – but also involved unparalleled violence and unprecedented transnational scope. Th is essay paints a panorama of the various European responses to the brutal Soviet policy against religion, and the evolution of militant atheism in Europe, from the onset of the collectivisation of agriculture in the USSR in 1929 until the encyclical letter Divini Redemptoris (1937), in which Pope Pius XI condemned communism as ‘intrinsically wrong’. After 1917, western opposition to Soviet religious policy developed according to diff erent modalities, which ranged from
