Portier, Ph.D. In its analysis of mystical body of Christ theology in the twentieth century, this dissertation identifies three major streams of mystical body theology operative in the early part of the century: the Roman, the German-Romantic, and the French-Social- Liturgical. Delineating these three streams of mystical body theology sheds light on the diversity of scholarly positions concerning the heritage of mystical body theology, on its mid twentieth-century recession, as well as on Pope Pius XII’s 1943 encyclical, Mystici Corporis Christi, which enshrined “mystical body of Christ” in Catholic magisterial teaching. Further, it links the work of Virgil Michel and Louis-Marie Chauvet, two scholars remote from each other on several fronts, in the long, winding French stream.

  • The Work of Borghesi Is a Wonderful Contribution to Understanding the Thinking and Person of Pope Francis and to Receiving An
    “The work of Borghesi is a wonderful contribution to understanding the thinking and person of Pope Francis and to receiving and implementing his magisterium at a time of change in the Church and the world. It is my sincere hope that bishops, priests, seminary professors, lay theologians, and leaders will profit greatly from this text as they carry out the important work of the New Evangelization.” —Archbishop Christophe Pierre Apostolic Nuncio to the United States “Massimo Borghesi has provided an indispensable resource for all who want to understand why Pope Francis thinks the way he does. Both erudite and scholarly, The Mind of Pope Francis reveals the intellectual and cultural formation of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, with the added benefit of recently recorded and highly reflective interviews with the subject himself. Beautifully translated, this is a vital addition to the anthology of books on this most captivating and consequential religious leader.” — Kerry Alys Robinson Global Ambassador, Leadership Roundtable “Massimo Borghesi’s book is the first real intellectual biography of Jorge Mario Bergoglio and it builds a bridge between the different universes of today’s global Catholicism: different generations of Catholics; different areas of the world; different theological, philosophical, and socio-political backgrounds. This book is an invaluable contribution for the comprehension of this pontificate and potentially a game-changer for the reception of Pope Francis, especially in the English-speaking world.” — Massimo Faggioli Professor of Historical Theology, Villanova University “Pope Francis’ predecessor was an internationally renowned theologian. Perhaps because of that, many have dismissed the Argentinian pope as lacking in intellectual ‘heft.’ Massimo Borghesi’s fascinating and informative study of the intellectual influences on Pope Francis has exploded that canard, demonstrating the intellectual breadth, subtlety and perspicacity of Francis’ thought.

  • Global Christian Worship the Sign of the Cross
    Global Christian Worship The Sign of the Cross http://globalworship.tumblr.com/post/150428542015/21-things-we-do-when-we-make-the- sign-of-the-cross 21 Things We Do When We Make the Sign of the Cross - for All Christians! Making ‘the sign of the cross’ goes back to the Early Church and belongs to all Christians. It’s a very theologically rich symbolic action! And did you know that Bonhoffer, practically a saint to Protestant Christians, often made the sign of the cross? (See below.) I grew up “thoroughly Protestant” and did not really become aware of “making the sign of the cross” in a thoughtful way until a few years ago, when I joined an Anglican church. Now it’s become a helpful act of devotion for me …. especially after I found this article by Stephen 1 Beale a few years ago (published online in November 2013) at http://catholicexchange.com/21-things-cross There is rich theology embedded in this simple sign, and as a non-Roman Catholic I appreciate all of the symbolism, and it does indeed deepen my spirituality and devotion. The history of making the symbolic motion goes back to the Early Church, more than a millennia before Protestants broke away in the Reformation. So when a Christian act has that long of a history, I believe that I can claim it for myself as a contemporary Christian no matter what denominations use it or don’t use it now. “Around the year 200 in Carthage (modern Tunisia, Africa),Tertullian wrote: ‘We Christians wear out our foreheads with the sign of the cross’ … By the 4th century, the sign of the cross involved other parts of the body beyond the forehead.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_of_the_cross So, here is a reposting of Stephen’s list, with additional resources at the end.

  • Catholics, Culture and the Renewal of Christian Humanism
    religions Article Catholics, Culture and the Renewal of Christian Humanism John Sullivan Theology Department, Liverpool Hope University, Liverpool L16 9JD, UK; [email protected] Abstract: If Catholic educators are to equip students to engage with contemporary culture in a way that is credible and winsome, they need first, to be able to draw upon the living tradition of their faith appreciatively, critically and creatively, and second, to articulate a renewed form of Christian humanism. This paper addresses the second of these prerequisites by taking two steps towards the development of a Christian humanism for our times. First, I propose a rationale for the task of rethinking the case for Christian humanism as a resource for both cultural engagement and for educational practice. Second, I consider three potential sources and guides for becoming confident and competent in communicating this renewal of Christian humanism: Jacques Maritain, Romano Guardini and Pope Francis. Keywords: culture; Christian humanism; Catholic education; Jacques Maritain; Romano Guardini; Pope Francis Catholic educators have always had to draw upon and respond to the cultures in which they are embedded. The transmission of faith and the invitation to participate in God’s life never occurs in a cultural vacuum. The language used in Catholic education, the features of the faith to be given salience, the prevailing assumptions about knowledge, the aims of education, pedagogy, curriculum and the teacher-student relationship, even Citation: Sullivan, John. 2021. the tone and shape of the theology that underpins and illuminates Catholic education—all Catholics, Culture and the Renewal of these are unavoidably and deeply influenced by the nature of the society and culture which Christian Humanism.

  • Educational Charism of St. Jerome
    ST. JEROME EMILIANI’S EDUCATIONAL CHARISM Rev. Giuseppe Oddone, CRS St. Jerome Emiliani (Venice, 1486 – Somasca, 1537), a Venetian, a nobleman, a lay-man, converted to a fervent Christian life, a member of the Company of Divine Love, is the Founder of the Company of the Servants of the Poor (1528-1567), or Clerics regular from Somasca, since 1568. He is a protagonist of the Catholic Reformation and of the Renaissance. From his ardent desire to reform the Church through works of charity and the formation of evangelical communities both in hospitals and shelters where he would gather abandoned children, it takes form his educational activity. It consists first of all, in the learning of the Christian doctrine, and then in training for a job that would allow the orphans to be mainstreamed into society. As a Renaissance man, he is committed to value “man,” in this case the child, in his earthly and individual dimension with his intellectual and manual skills, in his dignity as a citizen who will provide for his sustenance with learning a profession, in his greatness of Christian who, with the faith in Christ and the imitation of His life, becomes a child of God and temple of the Holy Spirit. All sources agree in underlining that Jerome has a particular experience both in teaching catechism and preparing for a profession. I quote some of them: - The petition of May 6, 1531, to the Doge of Venice for the patent of a carding-wool machine talks of “a shop for carding and other works under the care and direction of the nobleman Jerome Miani and other masters that supports the poor orphans who are taught to work in those professions and to live as obedient Christians for the honor of God and the benefit of this sublime city;” - The letter from Galeazzo Capella to the duke Francesco Sforza of January 13, 1534, states that Jerome is committed to “instruct many children first in the divine worship and then in the mechanical arts;” - The letter of Carafa to St.

  • Analogy and the Knowledge of God: an Ecumenical Appraisal
    ANALOGY AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD: AN ECUMENICAL APPRAISAL ROMAN CATHOLIC AND PROTESTANT INTERPRETATIONS IN RELATION TO THE DEBATE ABOUT THE ANALOGY OF BEING BETWEEN ERICH PRZYWARA, S. J., AND KARL BARTH by Niels C. Nielsen, Jr. I. INTRODUCTION 1. Analogy as a Perennial Theme Analogy is a perennial theme in both philosophy and theology. The widely differing outlooks and terminology used in technical discussion of the subject easily lead to confu~ion.~One knows well enough that analogy belongs to some types of epistemology and is applied in different ways in religion. However, the interrelations of its various forms, attribution and proportionality, intrinsic and extrinsic, analogia entis and analogia fidei, require clarification. Analogy has long been used to describe the nature and attributes of God. It would be a mistake to suppose that it offers any omni- bus resolution of the problem of "God talk." On the contrary, questions must be answered about the nature of analogy itself with respect to content as well as orientation. Yet as a point of reference analogy does call attention to the importance of both language and structure. The Hebrew-Christian tradition premises a transcendent deity who is at the same time immanent in the world. The faith claim that God is the source and end of all life has a variety of theological expressions. Biblical language itself is dramatic and metaphorical.Wod is believed to be known in the mighty acts which reveal his presence and reality. In order to be systematic, theology as well as philosophy is required to ask about the metaphors and analogies which are used in religious speech, God has been described as king, father, and even as a shepherd.

  • St. Anselm of Canterbury and Romano Guardini
    St. Anselm of Canterbury and Romano Guardini Father Emery de Gaál, Ph.D. University of St. Mary of the Lake Well before World War I, Romano Guardini had felt the deleterious impact of the Kantian critique of religion. As a reaction to Kant and the then prevailing Neo-Scholasticism, Guardini turned to the Augustinian tradition. While theologians at the time were attempting to demonstrate the scientific nature and relevance of theology, Guardini here sought to demonstrate the indispensable relevance of revelation and faith for knowledge. His position was cause for much irritation at the university and he was criticized for “unscientific dogmatism.” But for Guardini true knowledge comes about only if the object of investigation is integrated into one’s interiority. The goal of knowledge is not a mere collection or assemblage of information, “but rather the formation of one’s own being… (for) only the person who is holy recognizes the holy God.” Guardini’s interest in the person and thought of St. Anselm of Canterbury is formative for his thought on these issues for he detects similarities between the eleventh century and his own age, the early part of the 20th century. In both ages he sees the promise for a rebirth amid chaos. Guardini wrote two seminal pieces dealing with the theology of St. Anselm. His article, “Das argumentum ex pietate beim hl. Bonaventura und Anselms Dezenzbeweis”(St. Bonaventure’s Argument from Piety and Anselm’s Proof), was published in 1922 and, one year later in 1923, he published in a collection of essays an article entitled “Anselm von Canterbury und das Wesen der Theologie” (Anselm of Canterbury and the Nature of Theology).
