  • Of the Catholic Community of Izmir (1683–1724)
    turkish historical review 7 (2016) 86-112 brill.com/thr In the Process of Being Levantines. The ‘Levantinization’ of the Catholic Community of Izmir (1683–1724) Filomena Viviana Tagliaferri Institute for Mediterranean Studies, Rethymno, Crete [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this essay is to offer a contribution to the process of Levantinization of the Catholic community of Izmir, between the late seventeenth and the early eigh- teenth century. The first part of the paper is about the detection of how the term Levantine has been used, both historically and by historiography, while the second is focused on the Catholic missionaries of Izmir, depicted in their daily dealings with individuals and groups of different religions. Their responses to inter-religious coexis- tence as a process of adaptation, promote the idea of ‘functional tolerance’ not neces- sarily supported by a theoretical discourse about its value. The interaction of the missionaries and their Catholic parishioners sees the emergence of a new hybridized mentality, the actual agent that forms the basis of the Levantine identity. The original archival sources for this paper are the missionaries‘ letters from the Archivio Storico De Propaganda Fide. Keywords Levantines – Catholic Missioners – Izmir – hybridization – functional tolerance – orthopraxy – comunicatio in sacris The present essay traces the emergence of the Levantine group as a new social and cultural actor in the city of Izmir during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. As a specific element of port cities in the Ottoman * The author wishes to thank the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation for making the writing of this essay possible.

  • La Santa Sede
    La Santa Sede PAPA FRANCESCO UDIENZA GENERALE Piazza San Pietro Mercoledì, 24 settembre 2014 Video Viaggio Apostolico in Albania Cari fratelli e sorelle, buongiorno. Oggi vorrei parlare del Viaggio Apostolico che ho compiuto in Albania domenica scorsa. Lo faccio anzitutto come atto di ringraziamento a Dio, che mi ha concesso di compiere questa Visita per dimostrare, anche fisicamente e in modo tangibile, la vicinanza mia e di tutta la Chiesa a questo popolo. Desidero poi rinnovare la mia fraterna riconoscenza all’Episcopato albanese, ai sacerdoti e ai religiosi e religiose che operano con tanto impegno. Il mio grato pensiero va anche alle Autorità che mi hanno accolto con tanta cortesia, come pure a quanti hanno cooperato per la realizzazione della Visita. Questa Visita è nata dal desiderio di recarmi in un Paese che, dopo essere stato a lungo oppresso da un regime ateo e disumano, sta vivendo un’esperienza di pacifica convivenza tra le sue diverse componenti religiose. Mi sembrava importante incoraggiarlo su questa strada, perché la prosegua con tenacia e ne approfondisca tutti i risvolti a vantaggio del bene comune. Per questo al centro del Viaggio c’è stato un incontro interreligioso dove ho potuto constatare, con viva soddisfazione, che la pacifica e fruttuosa convivenza tra persone e comunità appartenenti a religioni diverse è non solo auspicabile, ma concretamente possibile e praticabile. Loro la praticano! Si tratta di un dialogo autentico e fruttuoso che rifugge dal relativismo e tiene conto delle identità di ciascuno. Ciò che accomuna le varie espressioni religiose, infatti, è il cammino della vita, la buona volontà di fare del bene al prossimo, non rinnegando o sminuendo le rispettive identità.

Padre Agostino Gemelli and the crusade to rechristianize Italy, 1878–1959: Part one Abstract Padre Agostino Gemelli (1878-1959) was an outstanding figure in Catholic culture and a shrewd operator on many levels in Italy, especially during the Fascist period. Yet he remains little examined or understood. Scholars tend to judge him solely in light of the Fascist regime and mark him as the archetypical clerical fascist. Gemelli founded the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan in 1921, the year before Mussolini came to power, in order to form a new leadership class for a future Catholic state. This religiously motivated political goal was intended to supersede the anticlerical Liberal state established by the unifiers of modern Italy in 1860. After Mussolini signed the Lateran Pacts with the Vatican in 1929, Catholicism became the officialeligion r of Italy and Gemelli’s university, under the patronage of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939), became a laboratory for Catholic social policies by means of which the church might bring the Fascist state in line with canon law and papal teachings.

  • Mormando Response to Plague
    Introduction: Response to the Plague in Early Modern Italy: What the Primary Sources, Printed and Painted, Reveal Franco Mormando “Will you believe such things, oh posterity, when we ourselves who see them can scarcely believe them and would consider them dreams except that we perceive them awake and with our eyes open and that after viewing a city full of funerals we return to our homes only to find them empty of our loved ones?” Francesco Petrarca, Rerum familiarum libri, VIII:7,Letter to His “Socrates” on the Black Death 1 i. Plague and Art: The Subject of this Exhibition Dateline, New York City, Thursday, 7 November, 2002:“A 53-year-old New Mexico man was in critical condition last night at Beth Israel Medical Center with bubonic plague, the rare and deadly disease that once decimated Europe, health officials said. His wife, a 47-year-old woman, remains under observation at Beth Israel as tests for the disease are conducted.”This report from the New York Times,2 repeated in newspapers across the country, took many Americans by surprise: bubonic plague, in their minds, had been relegated to the realm of the remote past and of the almost-legendary. In fact, this ancient enemy, the scourge of Europe for more than three hundred years, has never been completely wiped from the face of the earth. Nowadays, thanks to antibiotics, wonder drugs unavailable to medieval and early mod- ern Europeans, bubonic plague is easily treated and no longer a grave public health threat. Yet, even with the availability of modern wonder drugs, human society remains to this day threatened by other forms of deadly, contagious disease for which there exists no effec- tive “silver bullet” treatment.
