  • Inspectis Dierum Nostrorum: Instruction on the Study of the Fathers of the Church in the Formation of Priests
    Congregation for Catholic Education. AAS Vol 82 (1990) 607-636 Inspectis dierum nostrorum: Instruction on the Study of the Fathers of the Church in the Formation of Priests INTRODUCTION Considering the particular needs of theological education in centers of priestly formation today, the Congregation for Catholic Education dedicates this instruction to the study of the fathers of the church, giving such study more extensive treatment here than in its previous general description of it. 1 The call to promote patristic study more intensively in seminaries and theological faculties might seem surprising to some people. Why, they might ask, are professors and students urged to turn toward the past when in church and society today there are so many serious problems that require an urgent solution? A convincing answer may be found if one looks at the history of theology, considers carefully some characteristics of today’s cultural climate, and pays attention to the profound needs of spirituality and pastoral care and the new directions which are emerging in them. A review of the various stages of the history of theology reveals that theological reflection has never renounced the reassuring and guiding presence of the fathers. On the contrary, theological reflection has always been clearly aware that there is something in the fathers which is unique, irreplaceable and perennially valid, as relevant as ever. As Pope John Paul II stated, “The church still lives today by the life received from her fathers, and on the foundation erected by her first constructors she is still being built today in the joy and sorrow of her journeying and daily toil.” 2 Next, in considering the climate of our contemporary culture, there are many parallels to be drawn between the present and the patristic era, despite obvious differences.

Father Luigi Gambero was born on January 7, 1930, in Robbio, a large neighborhood of Lomellina, in the Province of Pavia, but included in the territory of the Archdiocese of Vercelli. Brought up by his parents, Giovanni and Maria, with sound traditional principles within the context of a rural society and a parish that was pastorally vibrant and strongly devoted to the Madonna, upon finishing elementary school Luigi was ready to accept the idea of entering the diocesan seminary. He was the altar boy in the parish church of San Stefano when a Marianist from the area, Father Secondo Casella, celebrated his First Solemn High Mass after his ordination in Fribourg. It was an occasion that the Provost, Monsignor Bogliani, a theologian with a broad vision and a big heart, experienced as a sign of Providence, leading him to the decision to send to the Marianists some of his aspirants for the priesthood. And so, at the end of 1941 Luigi entered the Santa Maria Postulate in Pallanza, where he continued his studies in the Nuova Scuola Media Unica (New Unique Middle School), which the Marianist Vice-Province of Italy had opened up to external students and was in the process of bringing up to the legally mandated public school standards.

    The community in brief ...in celibacy and in community... Since the first centuries of Christianity there have been men and women who early on came to be called monastics, and who gave up everything in an attempt to live in radical obedience to the Gospel Since the first centuries of Christianity there have been men and women who early on came to be called monastics, and who gave up everything in an attempt to live in radical obedience to the Gospel, in celibacy and in community. Bose lies within this tradition, which belongs to the Christian East and West alike. The community seeks to live monastic life in our own time under the guidance of a rule and a spiritual father, the prior, whose duty it is to point the community at all times towards the one true light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. "Bose" is a monastic community of men and women belonging to different Christian churches. It is a monastic community seeking God in prayer, poverty, celibacy, and obedience to the Gospel. It is a monastic community living in fellowship with men and women and at their service. the house where the community lived in the first years as it looks today The Monastic Community of Bose was canonically approved by a decree dated 11 July 2000 of the Bishop of Biella, Massimo Giustetti, who also approved its statute and the monastic rule that went with it. The present Ordinary, Bishop Gabriele Mana, confirmed the above status of juridical person and approved modifications to the statute in a decree dated 29 June 2010.

  • Shroud News Issue #52 April 1989
    ISSUE No. 52 A NEWSLETTER ABOUT THE HOLY SHROUD OF TURIN April 1989 edited by REX MORGAN Author of PERPETUAL MIRACLE and SHROUD GUIDE POSTER FOR THE 1931 EXPOSITION OF THE HOLY SHROUD 2 SHROUD NEWS No 52 (April 1989) EDITORIAL In the now fortuitously fading light of that October press fanfare crying "fake" and the increasing intensity with which all the other evidence is being studied throughout the world by sindonologists fired with the spirit of objective enquiry into probably the world's greatest mystery, I believe that the historical and hence the supporting artistic and iconographic references to the Shroud have now assumed a far greater importance in the scheme of things. There is also an increasing number of press articles being published worldwide challenging the validity of the C14 dating of 1988 from several points of view. It is good to see that reputable journals are now publishing these and even some newspapers are taking a quite sensible view of the vast evidence which contradicts the C14 findings despite their lust for a scandal-like story of a fake. To follow my opening statement I am pleased to note that a very significant international conference has been arranged in Bologna, Italy in May of this year under the title La Sindone E Le Icone (The Shroud and Iconography). The programme will include papers from experts from many countries and amongst others are Ian Wilson (England), Paul Maloney and Alan Whanger (USA),Heinrich Pfeiffer and Werner Bulst (Germany), Andre Dubarle (France), Mario Moroni, Luigi Fossati, Gino Zaninotto and Giovanni Tamburelli (Italy), to mention only a few better known names in the sindonological world.

  • FR. GIUSEPPE QUADRIO Theology Teacher and Master of Life
    FR. GIUSEPPE QUADRIO Theology Teacher and Master of Life Translation by John Rasor of Remo Bracchi (ed.), Don Giuseppe Quadrio: Docente di Teologia e Maestro di Vita (Rome, LAS 1989), pp. 9-22. These are the proceedings of a 1989 symposium on Fr. Quadrio at the Salesian Pontifical University in Rome. Presentation Fr. Giuseppe Quadrio spent the last fourteen years of his brief and intensive life as a teacher of dogmatic theology in the Theology Department of what was then the Salesian Pontifical Athenaeum of Turin (now Salesian Pontifical University in Rome). He was also chairman of the Department (from 1954 to 1959), up to the time his illness forced his retirement. Teaching theology was the main job given him, and he consecrated his best energies to that, with great seriousness and dedication, bringing to fruition what he had matured in the years of preparation for this task. But more than an assignment or a duty, he always saw a privileged and unique mission. He pushed himself to make an authentic existential synthesis of study, teaching and life; of his study and his life; of theological investigation and contemporary reality; of its problems and challenges. For the students, this was – as numerous testimonies demonstrate – the most important and eloquent lesson of Fr. Quadrio: doing theology with gaze turned with constant attention to those hearing the doctrine, to the students in front of him as well as those far off, but no less important, men of today with their conditionings and culture. He succeeded above all in “doing theology” in the crucible of his own life.

  • Against the Shroud. but with Mixed Cards
    Against the Shroud. But with mixed cards Translation of Contro la Sindone. Ma a carte truccate, Storia in Rete n. 117-118 – July/August 2015 – pp. 28-38 Historian Andrea Nicolotti expects to make a clean sweep of all the «legends» that came out around the Sacred Linen of Turin: a thorough lie that is to be unmasked once and for all using the weapons of historic research. It is a pity that among those weapons there should not be some things that, on the contrary, Nicolotti uses very much: sarcasm and contempt towards who does not think in the same way he does (the reviled «Shroud scholars»), ignored sources and opposite sign research, rash incursions in distant fields, as the science ones. In short, the classical «thesis book», obviously flattered by the major newspapers, that a well- known Shroud scholar read for «Storia in Rete» Emanuela Marinelli «Sutor, ne ultra crepidam!» It is told that this sentence (shoemaker, do not make more than sandals!) was pronounced by Greek painter Apelles of Coo (4th century B.C.). The artist exposed his works at the entrance of his workshop, to keep account of the possible suggestions of the people passing by; so then a shoemaker found that the sandals of a character were depicted in the wrong way, and Apelles hurried up to fix them. The following day the shoemaker, become proud by the acceptance of his previous affirmation, launched into a critic of other details of the picture and at that point Apelles addressed him with the sentence that later became a proverb.

  • British Society for the Turin Shroud
    Publications, Recent and Forthcoming Don Giuseppe Ghiberti, Sindone verso il 2000, Casale Monferrato (AL) Italy, Edizione Piemme 1999 [publication address Edizioni Piemme - Spa, 15033 Casale Monferrato (AL), Via del Carmine 5] Softback 287 pages. No photographs. Around the time of the Shroud C14 dating, when he attended a conference at an Oxbridge conference Don Giuseppe Ghiberti was rather appropriately given a room numbered C14. Not long after Cardinal Saldarini of Turin appointed him as his right-hand man to superintend the Shroud expositions of 1998, and on Cardinal Saldarini’s retirement last September Turin's incoming Archbishop, Severino Poletto upheld this appointment for the year 2000 expositions. A member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, and lecturer at the Catholic Universities of Milan and Turin, Don Ghiberti is the man closest to Taurinese clerical deliberations on the Shroud below the Archbishop himself, and his book epitomises this intimate knowledge. My Italian is insufficient to do the fullest justice to any review, but what is clear from Don Ghiberti's chapters is his attention to an aspect of the Shroud too many of us neglect, its deep spiritual importance and profound influence at the pastoral level. While we outsiders are often critical of Turin's reticence on matters of the Shroud, Don Ghiberti lets us know the strong resistance that can come from within Italy, even from within Turin, and not only from protestants but also from certain Catholics, towards any fresh showing of the Shroud at all. He begins the book with looking at how the Shroud may be reconciled with Jesus' death as described in the gospels, a topic on which, as a scriptural scholar, he is paticularly expert.

    COMMISSIONS AND TEAMS 1534 The commission appointed by the pope Clement VII to verify the condition of the Shroud after the 1532 fire and their identity (April 15, 1534) 1. Cardinal Ludovic de Gorrevod (bishop of St. Jean di Maurienne - France) 2. Bishop Claude d’Estavayer (or of Stagnac) (Bishop of Belley - France) 3. Bishop Pierre Farfecy (bishop of Beyruth - Ottoman Empire) 4. Bishop Auxiliary of Maurienne and Tarantaise (France) (it is not sure if he is Pierre Perrin, Jean Joly de Fleury or Jean Philibert de Challes) 5. Bishop Pierre Meynard (bishop of Hebron - Ottoman Empire, that in some texts is reported with the wrong name of Embrun) 6. The count Gruyère 7. Philippe Lambert (one of those who saved the Shroud from the 1532 fire) 8. Pierre Lambert There were also some other dignitaries, members of the clergy and of the palace that had seen and touched the Shroud. 1898 During the exhibition, Don Natale Noguier de Malijay, teacher of physics and chemistry at the Liceo of Valsalice, suggests to the Baron Antonio Manno to ask the king Umberto I to take a photograph of the Shroud. The president of a Turin association of Experts of Photographic Art, the lawyer Secondo Pia, is chosen to take a photograph of the Shroud protected by crystal. Nouguier also suggests that an international commission of prelates and laymen with scientific competence study the Shroud, but his proposal is not accepted. Secondo Pia takes part in a commission that will organise an Exhibition of Sacred Art in Turin. The King agrees to create a special subcommission for the photographs.
