Ben altre angustie e preoccupazioni travagliano ora gli animi dei cattolici genovesi. Il mutamento di orizzonti e di prospettive è completato dal cambio di pontificato. Già la morte di san Pio X (20 agosto 1914) incide direttamente sulla crisi Caron, l’arcivescovo che è stato voluto dal papa defunto proprio per allontanare dalla Chiesa genovese pericoli di infiltrazione modernistica.

  • Paul Vi's Ambivalence Toward Critical Biblical Scholarship
    ORGAN OF THE ROMAN THEOLOGICAL FORUM NO. 157 March 2012 PAUL VI’S AMBIVALENCE TOWARD CRITICAL BIBLICAL SCHOLARSHIP B. INDICATIONS OF APPROVAL: ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS by Brian W. Harrison Having surveyed in Living Tradition, no. 156, what might be called the ‘theoretical’ side of Pope Paul VI’s basic attitude of openness and confidence toward contemporary trends in Catholic biblical scholarship – that is, his writings and speeches expressing that attitude – we will turn now to consider the ‘practical’ side of the same coin. Here we will be looking at the Pope’s exercise of his governing authority rather than his teaching authority. His concrete decisions regarding the ‘hiring and firing’ of certain clerics who would occupy key ecclesiastical positions relating to biblical studies were to have significant ramifications that were perhaps to some extent unexpected by Paul himself. 1. 1960-1962: Tensions within the Vatican over Biblical Studies Probably the most important of these administrative decisions was one taken within the first year of Pope Paul’s pontificate. As a result of controversies over biblical studies in the last years of John XXIII’s pontificate, two prominent Scripture scholars, Maximilian Zerwick, S.J., and Stanislas Lyonnet, S.J., had in 1961 been suspended from teaching at the Pontifical Biblical Institute on account of their exegetical opinions, some of which, in the estimation of the Holy Office, were not in accord with the Church’s Magisterium. However, within one year of the election of Pope Paul VI, both of these professors were re-appointed to teach at the ‘Biblicum’ with the express approval of the new Pontiff.

  • „Principele Scortesco”. Cine Era? (Cu O Incursiune În Peisajul Catolic Tradiţionalist Din Apus)
    1 Un român exilat misterios: „Principele Scortesco”. Cine era? (cu o incursiune în peisajul catolic tradiţionalist din Apus) P. dr. Remus Mircea Birtz, OBSS Summary This study presents some data about the Romanian Traditional Catholic writers, the painter Paul Scorţescu / Scortesco / Scortzesco (1893, Yassy – 1976, Paris), his brother the diplomatic minister Theodor Scorţescu / Scortzesco (1895, Yassy – 1979, Buenos-Aires), known in the Romanian literature, and Miss Myra Davidoglou (1923, Bucharest – 2001, France) a graphic artist too. Some historical and genealogical data about the Scortzesco Moldavian-Romanian noble family are given, and a short landscape of the Traditional Catholic Resistance. It is proven that the well-known statement of Paul Scortzesco about the 1963 Conclave cannot be true, however without denying the election of Cardinal Giuseppe Siri as Pope (Gregory XVII) in the 1958 Conclave. Some biographical data about the Scortzescos can and must be certainly corrected, when new informations from the yet unknown Romanian Exile Culture will be available. Key words: Paul Scorţescu / Scortesco / Scortzesco (1893-1976), Theodor Scorţescu / Scortzesco (1895-1979), Myra Davidoglou (1923-2001), Cardinal Giuseppe Siri (Gregory XVII), Roman Catholic Resistance, Sedevacantism, Romanian Exile.

  • The Sacredness of Reinforced Concrete Between Structural and Formal Links
    Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XIV 531 The sacredness of reinforced concrete between structural and formal links S. Bertorotta & F. Scibilia Department of Architecture, Palermo University, Italy Abstract This paper examines the design of some religious buildings built of reinforced concrete during the post-war period in the city of Palermo. After an introduction to Italy’s architectural panorama, in which the principal trends in religious architecture during the period considered are set forth, marked by the appearance of reinforced concrete, Palermo’s panorama will be discussed in depth, together with its specific cultural features and some creations of religious buildings in which the use of reinforced concrete becomes more mature and aware. The new technology, in fact, at first hidden behind stone claddings, was progressively unveiled through an ever more aware use of its structural and aesthetic potentials. Specifically, out of the three structural categories identified through a systematic examination of all the religious buildings of the period, the focus will be placed on the one defined as “portal-type”. These churches represent the period of “transition” to be looked at more closely better than others, with their frequent mixing of traditional techniques and the “new” reinforced concrete technology. Even if their structures cannot yet be classed as framed structures insofar as often lacking in transversal links to the portals, the roofs of these buildings, all between 20 and 30 meters and characterized by sizeable spreads without any intermediate supports, represented a field of total experimentation for the leading architects of the time. These architects were receptive to the influences of much more daring experimentation at a national and European level.
