Scarnecchia Ave Maria of Law in Naples, USA ORCID: 0000-0003-1399-9303 Why Rights are Wrong in ASEAN and Beyond: A Critique of the Foundations of Universal Human Rights Abstract: The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a battle- ground, one theatre in what Pope Francis has referred to as a “World War” where universal human rights, ersatz rights, and Asian values clash. Its people seek to escape old style Asian dictators while at the same time ward off a new ideological colonisation. Part One of this article provides a brief overview of the development of ASEAN and its human rights mechanisms. Part Two then examines whether the original axiomatic listing of human rights or an iteration of human rights founded upon the human genome or a Kantian underpinning can legitimise human rights and, if not, whether reference to the human soul made in the image of God with its natural law may substantiate the human rights project, perhaps, articulated as congruent with the purpose and design courts now recognise in the natural laws found in every ecosystem of nature. Part Three contends that aspects of the public trust doctrine, i.e., the natural use principle and the precautionary principle, are analogous to natural law principles and, because ‘the book of nature is one”, these environmental law principles may help jurists to recognise a theory of natural law liability in order to promote and defend authentic human rights.

I would like to convey our appreciation to His Excellency, the Apostolic Nuncio, for the kind invitation. 2 The visit of His Holiness Pope John Paul II to Singapore in November 1986 was a historic event. Many will have vivid memories of the 80,000 people who gathered for the Papal Mass at the National Stadium 25 years ago. His Holiness and his message touched the hearts of Singaporeans of all faiths - Catholics and non-Catholics alike - and from all walks of life. 3 His Holiness left a huge legacy. He was a world leader; a symbol of compassion and hope for millions. His message of tolerance, peace and harmony remains highly relevant today, especially in a multi-cultural and multi-religious society like Singapore. 4 This year also marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Singapore and the Holy See.

N° 49 Newsletter WINTER 2018 jerusalem cross ordinis equestris sancti sepulchri hierosolymitani @granmagistero.oessh www.oessh.va @GM_oessh Reflections of the Grand Master lenten Message ent, as a forty day preparation for Easter is first mentioned as an established practice in the Ldecrees of the Council of Nice, 325. The sacred season calls us to fast, prayer and almsgiving. Since the Second Vatican Council the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults serves as a liturgical and catechetical preparation for those entering into full communion with the Church. For all believers it is a period offering extraordinary opportunities for spiritual growth. There is, of course the popular association of Lent with personal sacrifice or “giving up” of something good and ordinarily attractive. There is also a growing emphasis on increasing our works of charity and good deeds. The Mass prayers of Lent are especially rich and date back to the earliest days of the Season. Might we turn to them, therefore as a prayerful opportunity to seek from God that which Lent should mean for us. For example: Grant, O Lord: … that as we take up battle against spiritual Lent allows us to spiritually prepare evils, we may be armed with weapons of self- our hearts to receive the grace of restraint Easter. It is a journey of interior ... look with compassion on our weakness and conversion that is well symbolized by the Way of the Cross that the ensure us your protection Knights and Dames of the Order … that we may grow in understanding of the walk on the streets of Jerusalem riches hidden in Christ.

Infalibilitas Paus Dalam Perspektif Gereja Roma Katholik
Nur Fitriyana Infalibilitas Paus dalam Perspektif Gereja Roma Katholik Nur Fitriyana Fakultas Ushuluddin dan Pemikiran Islam Institut Agama Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang, Indonesia Email: [email protected] Abstrak Dewan Vatikan pertama yang didominasi oleh tokoh-tokoh kepausan jelas merupakan suatu dewan kontroversi dalam Gereja Katolik, dan dalam hubungannya dengan gereja-gereja lain dan dunia yang lebih luas. Dewan menyatakan hal-hal yang tidak bisa diterima banyak orang; dan hal ini tampaknya menunjukkan bahwa Gereja Katolik memiliki sikap otoriter. Dewan Vatikan Pertama muncul oleh Norman P. Tanne yang masih menerjemahkan ajaran Katolik Roma dan tidak merasa perlu untuk pergi lebih jauh dari formatnya, terutama dalam perdebatan dengan gereja-gereja Protestan yang masih sangat banyak mengambil sikap untuk membela diri. Namun dalam domain lainnya telah banyak peristiwa. Tahun 1789 Revolusi Perancis dan Revolusi Industri yang dimulai pada akhir abad 18, menyebabkan perubahan besar dalam suasana politik, pembangunan sosial dan ekonomi di dunia Barat. Abstract First Vatican Council which is dominated by the definition of papal infallibility is definitely a council of controversy in the Catholic Church, and in conjunction with other churches and the wider world. Council states things that are not acceptable to many people and this event seems to show Catholic Church there at the height of aggressiveness and Authoritarian. First Vatican Council appeared startled by Norman P. Tanner (2003: 108) The Council of Trento apparently still provide the translation of Roman Catholic Theology adequately and does not feel the need to go further than his formulation, especially in the debate with Protestant churches are still very much taking attitude to defend themselves, other Council does not seem necessary.
