    Philosophical Anthropology and Evangelium Vitae

    ACTA PHILOSOPHICA, vol. 12 (2003), fasc. 2 - PAGG. 311-322 Philosophical Anthropology and Evangelium Vitae WILLIAM E. MAY* ■ The purpose of this presentation is to articulate the philosophical anthropolo- gy underlying the teaching of Pope John Paul II in his encyclical Evangelium vitae and to contrast this understanding of the human person with the philosoph- ical anthropology underlying the “culture of death.” I will begin by considering the anthropology at the heart of the culture of death, continue by offering a critique of this utterly false and dualistic under- standing of the human person and setting forth the key elements central to the realistic and integral anthropology at the heart of the teaching found in Evangelium vitae. 1. The Anthropology Underlying the Culture of Death John Paul II explicitly and accurately identifies this anthropology in the first chapter of Evangelium vitae, a chapter entitled Present-Day Threats to Human Life. In identifying this anthropology he likewise sketches the authentic anthro- pology of his encyclical. The Pope goes to the root causes of these threats, declar- ing that the culture of death has its roots in «the mentality which carries the con- cept of subjectivity to an extreme and even distorts it, and recognizes as a subject of rights only the person who enjoys full or at least incipient autonomy and who emerges from a state of total dependence on others» (no. 19). It is a mentality «which tends to equate personal dignity with the capacity for verbal and explic- it, or at least perceptible, communication» (no. 19). It is likewise rooted in a «notion of freedom which exalts the individual in an absolute way, and gives no * Michael J.

    Pope Benedict XVI: the Final Act

    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Pope Benedict XVI: The Final Act NANDAGOPAL R MENON Vol. 48, Issue No. 08, 23 Feb, 2013 Nandagopal R. Menon is a research scholar at the Department of Cultural Anthropology of Utrecht University in the Netherlands. After an eight-year reign overshadowed by controversies, scandals and further alienation of the Church from the modern world, Pope Benedict XVI wins plaudits with the precedent- shattering example of his resignation. The 2010 BBC 2 documentary, Trials of the Pope, has a revealing conversation between the producer and a close family friend of Benedict XVI and his brother Georg Ratzinger. Margarete Ricardi spoke about the Pope’s loneliness in Rome and how he frequently called his brother in Germany, and invited friends to visit him at the Vatican. Perhaps these remarks are helpful in understanding Benedict XVI and his close to eight years at the helm of the Catholic Church. It was not his first stint in Rome. He had spent twenty four years as the Church’s chief doctrinal enforcer before he took up the Chair of St. Peter. But his brilliance as a theologian, his genuine pious humility and deep faith in the centuries-old traditions of the Church did not prepare him for the post he took up in 2005. He tried to be a “teaching Pope” like his predecessor, John Paul II, and avoided getting too involved in the nitty-gritty of Church administration and management. The flamboyant John Paul II could still carry the day with his charisma and love for pageantry. But Benedict XVI is no John Paul II.

    En Kirke I Krise

    En kirke i krise - en analyse af hvilken effekt den danske katolske kirkes krisekommunikation har haft på de danske katolikker i løbet af foråret 2010. Udarbejdet af: Michal Krzysztof Tempczyk Vejleder: Thomas Martin Møller Burø, Institut for Internationale Kultur- og Kommunikationsstudier Antal NS: 80 Typeenheder: 143.356 Cand.ling.merc. CBS, juni 2011. Executive summary – The Catholic crisis Several times the Catholic Church has been subject to large scale global media attention. A repeating theme of the media coverage has been sexual abuse of children within Catholic institutions. In March 2010 the Danish Catholic Church (DCC) found itself in the eye of the hurricane, as the Danish Catholic Bishop Czeslaw Kozon stated that the Church was aware of several assault cases in Denmark, but was not obligated to neither investigate them nor report them to the police. Subsequently the Bishop was strongly criticised by various legal experts for the lack of action in the specific cases. This resulted in the media coverage reaching a significant level, and new cases of child abuse within the DCC quickly became the top stories of the Danish press. The following two months, the DCC initiated several actions as an attempt to tackle the criticism. The fact that this crisis, in its basic elements, was an ongoing communication process, makes it a very interesting field of study. An aspect of the crisis, which was given very limited attention by the media, is how the crisis and the DCC’s communicative efforts affected the Danish Catholics. Thus, the objective of this thesis is to investigate the context and aspects of the crisis, the communication produced by the DCC during this period and finally, how it affected the Danish Catholics.

    POPE Benedict XVI's Resignation Has Sparked Calls For

    [POPE Benedict XVI's resignation has sparked calls for his successor to come from Africa, home to the world's fastest-growing population and the front line of key issues facing the Roman Catholic Church. Around 15 per cent of the world's 1. 2 billion Catholics live in Africa and the per centage has expanded significantly in recent years in comparison to other parts of the world. Much of the Catholic Church's recent growth has come in the developing world, with the most rapid expansions in Africa and Southeast Asia. Names such as Ghana's Peter Turkson and Nigerian John Onaiyekan have been mentioned as potential papal material, as has Francis Arinze, also from Nigeria and considered a possibility when Benedict was elected, but who is now 80. ] BURUNDI : RWANDA : Protests in Rwanda Over Genocide Acquittals February 11, 2013 /(AP)/abcnews. go. com KIGALI, Rwanda Hundreds of Rwandans on Monday marched to the offices of the United Nations tribunal set up to try key cases related to Rwanda's 1994 genocide to protest the court's decision to acquit two former cabinet ministers accused of masterminding killings. The protesters, bearing placards denouncing the Arusha, Tanzania-based International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda (ICTR), mainly constituted of survivors of the genocide, youths and students who accused the tribunal of denying justice to genocide victims.

    Retired Pope Benedict Follows His Brother’S Funeral Virtually

    Retired Pope Benedict follows his brother’s funeral virtually REGENSBURG, Germany (CNS) — Retired Pope Benedict XVI followed the funeral of his brother, Georg Ratzinger, via livestreaming, reported the German Catholic news agency KNA. Bishop Rudolf Voderholzer of Regensburg said Pope Benedict, 93, was connected to the Mass taking place for his older brother July 8 in the Regensburg Cathedral. Msgr. Georg Ratzinger died on July 1 at age 96. During the Mass, the Regensburg bishop recalled the surprise June 18-22 visit Pope Benedict paid to the sickbed of his dying brother. “This sign of humanity touched many people. So all the more do we share in your mourning,” he said in words addressed to the retired pope. The Vatican newspaper and KNA reported that alongside Bishop Voderholzer at the altar was Pope Benedict’s private secretary, Archbishop Georg Ganswein, and the pope’s ambassador to Germany, Archbishop Nikola Eterovic. Among other participants were the former Regensburg bishop, Cardinal Gerhard Muller, and Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx. The retired pope had written to his deceased brother a letter, which was read out loud at the ceremony by Archbishop Ganswein. Remembering his “dear brother, Georg,” Pope Benedict wrote, “May God reward you for everything you have done, have suffered and have given me.” The retired pope said his brother “received and understood his vocation to the priesthood as a musical vocation at the same time.” He recalled his brother’s “cheerfulness, his humor and his joy for the good gifts of creation.” He also noted that his brother came to accept living with almost total blindness for 20 years.

    'Owned' Vatican Guilt for the Church's Role in the Holocaust?

    Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations Volume 4 (2009): Madigan CP 1-18 CONFERENCE PROCEEDING Has the Papacy ‘Owned’ Vatican Guilt for the Church’s Role in the Holocaust? Kevin Madigan Harvard Divinity School Plenary presentation at the Annual Meeting of the Council of Centers on Christian-Jewish Relations November 1, 2009, Florida State University, Boca Raton, Florida Given my reflections in this presentation, it is perhaps appropriate to begin with a confession. What I have written on the subject of the papacy and the Shoah in the past was marked by a confidence and even self-righteousness that I now find embarrassing and even appalling. (Incidentally, this observation about self-righteousness would apply all the more, I am afraid, to those defenders of the wartime pope.) In any case, I will try and smother those unfortunate qualities in my presentation. Let me hasten to underline that, by and large, I do not wish to retract conclusions I have reached, which, in preparation for this presentation, have not essentially changed. But I have come to perceive much more clearly the need for humility in rendering judgment, even harsh judgment, on the Catholic actors, especially the leading Catholic actors of the period. As José Sanchez, with whose conclusions in his book on understanding the controversy surrounding the wartime pope I otherwise largely disagree, has rightly pointed out, “it is easy to second guess after the events.”1 This somewhat uninflected observation means, I take it, that, in the case of the Holy See and the Holocaust, the calculus of whether to speak or to act was reached in the cauldron of a savage world war, wrought in the matrix of competing interests and complicated by uncertainty as to whether acting or speaking would result in relief for or reprisal.
