  • Agenda Paolina
    2021 AGENDA PAOLINA con riflessioni quotidiane dagli scritti del beato Giacomo Alberione Anno LXV © SASP s.r.l., 2020 Copertina di Ulysses Navarro, ssp “Gesù Maestro Via Verità Vita”: realizzazione grafica di Ulysses Navarro, ssp PRESENTAZIONE «Ut unum sint». Dalla Parola l’unità. La comunione con la Trinità come senso ultimo della nostra vita aposto- lica, del nostro vivere insieme per l’evangelizzazione e del nostro operare perché l’umanità possa incontrare Gesù Maestro. Ma anche la comunione come stile di vita e mentalità, continuamente rinnovata da Cristo e dalle nuove frontiere della missione paolina. Questo essere “uno” esprime il senso del “corpo”, della Famiglia Paolina pronta a operare insieme, a pregare insieme per l’umani- tà, a generare nuovi percorsi di vita. Lo sfondo dei brani scelti per l’Agenda Paolina 2021 è la sinodalità, tema tanto caro a Papa Francesco e neces- sario per vivere la nostra missione. “Camminare insieme”, nella diversità dei doni, è un atteggiamento profondo ma anche un modo di operare. “Sinodali” lo siamo nel vivere la nostra missione come Famiglia, quando la Parola di Dio ci raggiunge, ci conquista e dà nuovi significati al no- stro essere in mezzo all’umanità di oggi. La vita del Beato Giacomo Alberione, nel Centenario della sua professione religiosa (5 ottobre), è per noi un esempio perché impre- gnata di incontri, di reciprocità, di ascolto, di coinvolgi- mento… Il suo amore alla Scrittura, e in particolare alle Lettere di san Paolo, ha plasmato il suo modo di vivere da apostolo e di esserci padre. Durante quest’anno celebriamo il 50° della morte del Primo Maestro e portiamo a termine, proprio il 26 no- vembre, l’Anno Biblico di Famiglia Paolina.

  • Politics, Church and the Common Good
    Politics, Church and the Common Good Andrew Bradstock and Hilary Russell In an article published in the UK religious newspaper Church Times in 2015, the British academic and political thinker, Maurice Glasman, reflected upon the global financial crash of 2008. Suggesting that both ‘liberal economists’ and ‘state socialists’ could only understand the crisis as being ‘fundamentally about money’, with the solution being either to spend more or less of it, Glasman noted how the churches had sought to make a deeper analysis. While the ‘prevailing paradigms’ that governed our thinking about economics and politics had no capacity for recognising ‘sin’ as a contributing factor to the crisis, church leaders such as the Pope and Archbishop of Canterbury had ‘tried to insert the concept of the “good” into economic calculation’ – and in so doing had retrieved ‘some forgotten ideas, carried within the Church but rejected by secular ideologies, which turn out to have a great deal more rational force than invisible hands and spending targets.’1 By ‘forgotten ideas’ Glasman meant the core principles of Catholic Social Thought (CST), a collection of papal encyclicals spanning the last 125 years which constitute the authoritative voice of the Catholic Church on social issues. Drawing upon CST had enabled the pontiff and archbishop not only to challenge the narratives of the political Left and Right, to endorse neither state centralisation nor the centralisation of capital, but rather to highlight values such as human dignity, interdependence and care of creation. Importantly they had drawn attention to the need for markets to promote the wellbeing of all, the ‘common good’.

    Education Resource This education resource has been developed by the Art Gallery of New South Wales and is also available online An Art Gallery of New South Wales exhibition toured by Museums & Galleries NSW DRAWING ACTIVITIES Draw with black pencil on white paper then with white pencil on black paper. How does the effect differ? Shade a piece of white paper using a thick piece of charcoal then use an eraser to draw into the tone to reveal white lines and shapes. Experiment with unconventional materials such as shoe polish and mud on flattened cardboard boxes. Use water on a paved surface to create ephemeral drawings. Document your drawings before they disappear. How do the documented forms differ from the originals? How did drawing with an eraser, shoe polish, mud and water compare to drawing with a pencil? What do you need to consider differently as an artist? How did handling these materials make you feel? Did you prefer one material to another? Create a line drawing with a pencil, a tonal drawing with charcoal and a loose ink drawing with a brush – all depicting the same subject. Compare your finished drawings. What were some of the positive and negatives of each approach? Is there one you prefer, and why? Draw without taking your drawing utensil off the page. What was challenging about this exercise? Draw something from observation without looking down at your drawing. Are you pleased with the result? What did you learn? Create a series of abstract pencil drawings using colours that reflect the way you feel.

  • BA Santamaria
    B. A. Santamaria: 'A True Believer'? Brian Costar and Paul Strangio* By revisiting the existing scholarship deeding with Santamaria's career and legacy, as well as his own writings, this article explores the apparent tension between the standard historical view that Santamaria attempted to impose an essentially 'alien philosophy' on the Labor Party, and the proposition articulated upon his death that he moved in a similar ideological orbit to the traditions of the Australian labour movement. It concludes that, while there were occasional points of ideological intersection between Santamaria and Australian laborism, his inability to transcend the particular religious imperatives which underpinned his thought and action rendered'him incompatible with that movement. It is equally misleading to locate him in the Catholic tradition. Instead, the key to unlocking his motives and behaviour was that he was a Catholic anti-Modernist opposed not only to materialist atheism but also to religious and political liberalism. It is in this sense that he was 'alien'both to labor ism, the majorityofthe Australian Catholic laity and much of the clergy. It is now over six years since Bartholomew Augustine 'Bob' Santamaria died on Ash Wednesday 25 February 1998—enough time to allow for measured assessments of his legacy. This article begins by examining the initial reaction to his death, especially the eagerness of many typically associated with the political Left in Australia rushing to grant Santamaria a kind of posthumous pardon. Absolving him of his political sins may have been one thing; more surprising was the readiness to ideologically embrace the late Santamaria. The suggestion came from some quarters, and received tacit acceptance in others, that he had moved in a similar ideological orbit to the traditions of the Australian labour movement Such a notion sits awkwardly with the standard historical view that Santamaria had attempted to impose an essentially 'alien philosophy* on the Labor Party, thus explaining why his impact on labour politics proved so combustible.

  • Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand, 4-12 September 1937
    Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand, 4-12 September 1937 PETER J WILKINSON This is Part 1 of the seventh in the series of articles looking at the particular councils of the Catholic Church in Australia held between 1844 and 1937. It examines the background and factors leading to the Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand held in Sydney in September 1937, which brought all the particular churches of both nations for the second time. Part 2 will appear in the Winter edition of The Swag. After the Australian Plenary Council in 1905, only four particular (provincial and plenary) councils were convened in the English-speaking mission territories under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide (‘Propaganda’): the Provincial Councils of Tuam and Cashel in Ireland held in 1907, the Provincial Council of Melbourne in 1907, and the 4th Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand in 1937. Developments in church governance, 1905-1937 Fewer councils were held in the English-speaking mission territories in this period as Pope Pius X (1903-1914) had announced in his 1908 Constitution Sapienti Consilio that the hierarchies of Great Britain, Canada, and the United States were ‘established’ and the churches there were no longer considered ‘mission territories’. Australia and New Zealand, however, were to remain mission territories under the jurisdiction of Propaganda.1 In 1911, Cardinal Patrick Moran died, and was succeeded by his coadjutor, Archbishop Michael Kelly (1911-40). Moran had convened three plenary councils in 1885, 1895 and 1905, been Australia’s most powerful Catholic prelate, and for 27 years had functioned as the Holy See’s de facto apostolic delegate for Australia and New Zealand.

    Biography How can we respond when God seems to ask the impossible of us? Venerable Thecla Merlo (1894–1964) must have asked herself this question many times. Born to a simple farming family, Thecla was not highly educated, and she was plagued by poor health. In 1915, however, she embarked on an extraordinary adventure that would place her at the forefront of a new charism in the Church. This young seamstress would be among the first Daughters of St. Paul, dedicated to proclaiming the Gospel with all forms of media. Thecla’s uncommon gifts, unshakable confidence in God, and broad vision made her a prophetic voice for evangelization. One hundred years later, her legacy continues to inspire men and women around the globe. “How beautiful and holy it is to communicate Jesus to others—the Jesus whom we want to always carry in the center of our hearts.” — Venerable Mother Thecla Merlo $14.95 U.S. ISBN 0-8198-7527-9 Thecla A Prophetic Voice in Media Evangelization by Domenico Agasso BOOKS & MEDIA Boston The Scripture quotations in this publication are from the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, Catholic edition, copyright © 1965 and 1966 by the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and are used by permission.
