SCHILTZ† In recent decades, a strand of feminist theory variously referred to as “care feminism,” “cultural feminism,” or “relational feminism” has been arguing for a social re-evaluation of what has traditionally been regarded as “women’s work”—the care of dependents, such as children and elderly or disabled family members. As part of that project, a number of feminists have suggested that the traditional liberal theory of justice, based on the ideal of autonomous, independent actors, should be rejected, or at least revised to reflect the reality of dependency in the life of every individual. Recent books offering such alternative, dependency-based theories of justice include: Joan Tronto, Moral Boundaries: A Political Argument for an Ethic of Care;1 Eva Feder Kittay, Love’s Labor;2 Robin L. -

St. John Paul II's Redemptoris Mater
St. John Paul II’s Redemptoris Mater – Mary’s Maternal Mediation June 19, 2014 I was asked to open our annual novena talks this mystery of Her Son’s incarnation and redemptive year with Pope St. John Paul II’s encyclical mission. Mary’s singular mediation is intimately Redemptoris Mater, which he wrote to announce linked with her role as Mother of God and Mother the Marian Year of 1987-88. In this encyclical, John of the Church. Paul II recalls and develops the Mariological “All the saving influence of the Blessed teachings of the Second Vatican Council, especially Virgin on mankind originate ... from the divine pleasure. They flow forth from the Chapter 8 of Lumen Gentium, the Dogmatic superabundance of the merits of Christ, Constitution on the Church. The encyclical falls into rest on his mediation, depend entirely on it, and draw all their power from it. In no three Parts: Mary in the Mystery of Christ, the way do they impede the immediate union Mother of God at the Center of the Pilgrim Church of the faithful with Christ. Rather, they foster this union.” (LG 60, emphases are and finally, Maternal Mediation. This talk will focus John Paul II’s own) on the third part of this encyclical. “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.” By her The Pope opens this section with the quote from acceptance of Motherhood she submits and 1Timothy, which most Protestants cite as their cooperates with the one mediation of Her Son. Her objection to praying to Mary or calling her consent is total self-gift, which constitutes her as “Mediatrix”: virginal bride and mother. -
Seventh Pastoral Letter of Catholic
SEVENTH Pastoral Letter PASTORAL LETTER TO PRIESTS “As the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” (John 20:21) Feast of the Dormition, 15 August 2004 INTRODUCTION To our beloved sons and brothers, the priests, “Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Timothy 1: 2) We greet you with the salutation of the Apostle Paul to his disciple, Timothy, feeling with him that we always have need of the “mercy and peace of God,” just as we always have need of renewal in the understanding of our faith and priesthood, which binds us in a peculiar way to “God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.” We renew our faith, so as to become ever more ready to accept our priesthood, and assume our mission in our society. The Rabweh Meeting We held our twelfth annual meeting at Rabweh (Lebanon), from 27 to 31 October 2002, welcomed by our brother H.B. Gregorios III, Patriarch of Antioch, of Alexandria and of Jerusalem for the Melkite Greek Catholics. We studied together the nature of the priesthood, its holiness and everything to do with our priests, confided to our care and dear to our heart. Following on from that meeting, we address this letter to you, dear priests, to express to all celibate and married clergy, our esteem and gratitude for your efforts to make the Word and Love of God present in our Churches and societies. Object of the letter “We thank God at every moment for you,” dear priests, who are working in the vineyard of the Lord in all our eparchies in the Middle East, in the countries of the Gulf and in the distant countries of emigration. -

John Paul II, Encyclical, Laborem Exercens (On Human Work), 1981
John Paul II, encyclical, Laborem exercens (On Human Work), 1981 11. Dimensions of the Conflict . I must however first touch on a very important field of questions in which [the Church’s] teaching has taken shape in this latest period, the one marked and in a sense symbolized by the publication of the Encyclical Rerum Novarum [by Leo XIII in 1891]. Throughout this period [beginning with the industrial revolution], which is by no means yet over, the issue of work has of course been posed on the basis of the great conflict that in the age of, and together with, industrial development emerged between "capital" and "labour", that is to say between the small but highly influential group of entrepreneurs, owners or holders of the means of production, and the broader multitude of people who lacked these means and who shared in the process of production solely by their labour. The conflict originated in the fact that the workers put their powers at the disposal of the entrepreneurs, and these, following the principle of maximum profit, tried to establish the lowest possible wages for the work done by the employees. In addition there were other elements of exploitation, connected with the lack of safety at work and of safeguards regarding the health and living conditions of the workers and their families. This conflict, interpreted by some as a socioeconomic class conflict, found expression in the ideological conflict between liberalism, understood as the ideology of capitalism, and Marxism, understood as the ideology of scientiflc socialism and communism, which professes to act as the spokesman for the working class and the worldwide proletariat. -

MIGUEL PINTO GRILO O Matrimónio, Caminho de Santificação Estudo ético-teológico do pensamento de Karol Wojtyła / João Paulo II Dissertação final Sob orientação de: Prof. Doutor Jorge Teixeira da Cunha Porto 2014 2 PRÉ-SACRAMENTO1 Quem é Ele? O Indizível. A Existência autónoma. O Único. O Criador de tudo. Ao mesmo tempo, uma Comunhão de Pessoas. Nesta Comunhão, uma entrega recíproca da plenitude de verdade, bondade e beleza. Apesar de tudo isto, antes de mais nada – o Indizível. E, todavia, falou-nos de Si. Falou, também, criando o homem à Sua imagem e semelhança. Na policromia sistina, o Criador tem as aparências de um ser humano. É o ancião Omnipotente – um Homem, semelhante ao Adão que Ele cria. E eles? «Ele os criou homem e mulher.» Por graça de Deus receberam um dom. Assumiram em si – na dimensão humana – aquela mútua doação que existe nele. Ambos nus… Não sentiam vergonha, enquanto permanecia este dom – A vergonha sobrevirá com o pecado, mas agora continua o encantamento. Vivem conscientes do dom, embora não saibam exprimi-lo. Mas vivem disto. São puros. Casta placenta superis; pura cum veste venite, Et manibus puris sumite fontis aquam2 – li estas palavras todos os dias, durante oito anos, ao passar o portão da escola de Wadowice. O Pré-sacramento – ser apenas sinal visível de perene Amor. E quando se tornam «um só corpo» – ó admirável união – no horizonte deste conúbio desabrocham a paternidade e a maternidade. – É então que atingem as fontes da vida, que neles se encontram. – Remontam ao Princípio. – Adão conheceu a mulher e ela concebeu e deu à luz. -
The Holy See
The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS JOHN PAUL II TO A GROUP OF CHRISTIAN WORKERS Saturday, 9 December 1978 Beloved Brothers and Sisters, workers of Montedison, the Alfa Romeo Company, Pirelli, "Corriere delIa Sera", and other Companies, belonging to the" Groups of commitment and Christian presence", welcome to the house of the common Father! 1. I know that you have been waiting for this Audience with the Pope for some time. You already wished to meet Pope John Paul I, of venerated memory, who—I am told—was a familiar figure in the large factory at Porto Marghera. The Lord called him to Himself after such a short, but so intense a pontificate as to leave immense emotion in the world. And here you have the new Pope, who is particularly happy to receive today this great array of representatives from Italian Industry, qualified and well-known all over the world. I greet you all heartily and thank you for the joy your visit gives me. 2. As you know, I, too, have been a worker: for a short period of my life, during the last world conflict I, too, had direct experience of factory work. I know, therefore, what the commitment of daily toil in the employment of others means. I know how heavy and monotonous it is; I know the needs of the workers and their just demands and legitimate aspirations. And I know how necessary it is that work should never be alienating and frustrating, but should always correspond to man's superior spiritual dignity. 3. -
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH LETTER “IUVENESCIT ECCLESIA” to the Bishops of the Catholic Church Regarding the Relationship Between Hierarchical and Charismatic Gifts in the Life and the Mission of the Church Introduction The gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Church in mission 1. The Church rejuvenates in the power of the Gospel and the Spirit continually renews her, builds her up, and guides her “with hierarchical and charismatic gifts”.[1] The Second Vatican Council has repeatedly highlighted the marvelous work of the Holy Spirit that sanctifies the People of God, guides it, adorns it with virtue, and enrichens it with special graces for her edification. As the Fathers love to show, the action of the divine Paraclete in the Church is multiform. John Chrysostom writes: “What gifts that work for our salvation are not given freely by the Holy Spirit? Through Him we are freed from slavery and called to liberty; we are led to adoption as children and, one might say, formed anew, after having laid down the heavy and hateful burden of our sins. Through the Holy Spirit we see assemblies of priests and we possess ranks of doctors; from this source spring forth gifts of revelation, healing graces, and all of the other charisms that adorn the Church of God”.[2] Thanks to the Church’s life itself, to the numerous Magisterial interventions, and to theological research, happily the awareness has grown of the multiform action of the Holy Spirit in the Church, thus arousing a particular attentiveness to the charismatic gifts by which at all times the People of God are enriched in order to carry out their mission. -
Kornberg on Godman, 'Hitler and the Vatican: Inside the Secret Archives That Reveal the New Story of the Nazis and the Church'
H-German Kornberg on Godman, 'Hitler and the Vatican: Inside the Secret Archives that Reveal the New Story of the Nazis and the Church' Review published on Saturday, October 1, 2005 Peter Godman. Hitler and the Vatican: Inside the Secret Archives that Reveal the New Story of the Nazis and the Church. New York: Free Press, 2004. xvi + 282 pp. $27.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-7432-4597-5. Reviewed by Jacques Kornberg (Department of History, University of Toronto)Published on H- German (October, 2005) The Vatican and National Socialism: Between Criticism and Conciliation Peter Godman of the University of Rome, a scholar who has studied the Catholic Church, was one of the first people granted permission to mine the recently opened archives of the Supreme Congregation of the Holy Office for the pontificate of Pius XI (1922-39). In keeping with the times, the Holy Office currently bears the less forbidding name of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith; it was once known as the Universal Inquisition. Headed by bishops and cardinals, the Congregation pronounces on doctrine in matters of faith and morals. Godman contrasts his own "behind the scenes" view based on a close reading of the Holy Office documents, with the "hot air of speculation" hanging over the works of John Cornwell and Daniel Goldhagen. There is some truth to his claim, but he sets expectations too high when he professes to open a window into "the thoughts and motives" of those who made policy (p. xv). All we have of Pius XI and his Secretary of State, Cardinal Pacelli, are office memos, public statements, protocols of meetings, reports of papal audiences, and letters to bishops; we will always have to stake out some educated guesses about their thoughts and motives. -
