Il grande sforzo di unificare il paese non ha, però, corrisposto al desiderio pressante di creare un unico popolo, anzi fin dall’inizio l’Ita- lia come il resto dell’Europa ha visto la partenza di tanti, che si sono sparsi per tutti i continenti.

  • A Renunciation of Nuclear Weapons One Citizen at a Time
    If governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed, as stated in the U.S. Declaration of Independence, then to what degree am I, as a citizen, morally, legally and spiritually responsible for the acts, and plans to act, of my government?

Peter and Paul 12 Catherwood Street, Tewksbury, MA 01876‐2620, USA Tel. 978‐851‐5547 April 27, 2014 Divine Mercy Sunday Apostles of Mercy: A Reflection on the Married Priests Now! Prophetic Mission of Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo, Emeritus Archbishop of Lusaka, Zambia and the Canonizations of Popes John XXIII and John Paul II by Pope Francis Emmanuel Milingo was consecrated as a bishop for service in the Roman Catholic Church on August 1, 1969 by Pope Paul VI, Giovanni Batista Montini at Kololo Terrace, Kampala, Uganda following his election as Archbishop of Lusaka where he served from 1969 to 1983 as one of Africa’s youngest bishops. He experienced and developed a charismatic, Biblically based healing ministry and in 1976 he joined the Catholic charismatic renewal movement finding therein a link between his African heritage and his Catholic faith. The Second Vatican Council had revisited the question of charisms in the Church. As Leon Joseph Cardinal Suenens stated: “In regard to charisms, the Council adopted an open and receptive attitude expressed in a balanced text indicating that, providing that necessary prudence be observed, charisms should be recognized and esteemed in the Church of today. Indeed we might add: they are more important than ever before.” (A New Pentecost? Seabury Press, NY, 1975, p.30). Cardinal Suenens had been appointed by Pope Paul VI to oversee the world wide Roman Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Following his ordination as a priest in 1958, with additional education in Rome and Dublin, he became a champion of enculturation, espoused by Vatican II and later Pope John Paul II, working for the development of an authentic African Christianity expressed through indigenous spiritual and cultural symbols.

  • “Angels Affect Us Oft”: Angelic Imagery in the Poetic Works of John Donne John Donne Is Widely Considered One of the Most Im
    1 “Angels affect us oft”: Angelic Imagery in the Poetic Works of John Donne John Donne is widely considered one of the most important poets of the English Renaissance. Known for both his highly intricate and occasionally sexual romantic poems as well as his religious poems, he was one of the most complex artists of his age. Donne was born in 1572 into a recusant Catholic family. His father was well respected in the community, and was able to escape persecution during his lifetime. He died in 1576 and Donne’s mother remarried, this time to a Catholic doctor. His mother was the great-niece of Sir (and Saint to Catholics) Thomas More, and religious persecution was a constant in his family for most of his formative years. Donne lived in fear of persecution for most of his early life, and as a young man lost many opportunities because of his religion. He was not allowed to complete his degree at Oxford due to his faith and his refusal to take the Oath of Supremacy. His biographer Isaac Walton asserts that he then transferred to Cambridge to complete his degree, but there is no mention of this in the historical record.1 His younger brother Henry died in prison after being caught harboring a Catholic priest. Donne had cause to question his faith. Donne converted to Anglicanism by 1615 and was ordained in the Church of England, after much encouragement from James I, eventually becoming Dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral in 1621. Despite his conversion and the publishing of several anti-Catholic works, Catholic imagery, themes and ideology still dominate many of his religious poems.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See JOHN PAUL II ANGELUS 18 January 1998 Dear Brothers and Sisters, 1. The annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity starts today and its theme is: "The Spirit helps us in our weakness" (Rom 8:26). The ecumenical challange faced by all disciples of Christ first demands much prayer. A common, continual prayer so that the Spirit of Jesus, despite human weaknesses and limitations, will help Christians to cross the threshold of the new millennium, "if not completely united, at least much closer to overcoming the divisions of the second millennium" (Tertio millennio adveniente, n. 34). We must not be resigned to these divisions. Instead, we must dare with the boldness of those who trust in God's help and use every means to take the path of sincere and respectful dialogue. We are in the second year of preparation for the Jubilee. It is the year dedicated to the Holy Spirit, who is truly the principal agent of every effort towards full unity. It is he, in fact, who makes present in every age the unique Revelation brought by Christ to humanity, making it alive and active in the heart of each individual and of the whole Church. Therefore, "in these last years of the milliennium, the Church should invoke the Holy Spirit with ever greater insistence, imploring from him the grace of Chrisian unity" (ibid.). 2. I now have the joy of announcing that on 21 February next, the eve of the feast of St Peter's Chair, I will hold a Consistory in which I will appoint 20 new Cardinals.
