Some of the Statements unearthed and included to the list were found in the most unlikely places, like old dusty IMPACT magazines. Thanks to the cooperation of various people, this task was done. I am greatly indebted to the close cooperation of Rev. Fr. Damian K. Musonda, Rector of St. Dominic’s Seminary and Rev. Fr. Peter Henriot S.J., Director of the Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR). The three of us cooperated to arrange the documents and contribute to the main introduction and the short introductions to each particular document. Special thanks goes to Mr. Samuel Mulafulafu of the CCJP National Office for seeing to it that the project went ahead during the long months of my absence on my sabbatical year. I also acknow- ledge the contribution of Sr. Diana Hess, who suggested the format for the guiding questions at the end of the main introduction. Many thanks to the selected people who took the trouble to read the first manuscript and offered priceless critical reviews on the best way to present the material. Among them are: Bishop Paul Duffy of Mongu Diocese, Fr. Ignatius P. Mwebe, the Secretary General of the Zambia Episcopal Conference, Fr. Hugo Hinflaar M.Afr, Sr. Teresita Abraham, Fr. Umberto Davoli OFM, and Fr. John Mujdrica S.J. Thanks to the SMA Frs. Owen Maginn & Sexton Doran for proof-reading the final text. Thanks to Ms Mercy Mbololwa Simutowe for typing the voluminous documents onto a computer disk in record time. I also wish to thank Br. Camillo and all the staff at Mission Press for their patience during the times the project moved at a snail’s pace! I wish to thank all those who in one way or another gave me encouragement to soldier on despite the various problems on the way. My final thanks go to CAFOD, MISEREOR, and the JCTR for generously supporting this project financially. May good Lord bless you all with justice and peace!

This has been our guidance whenever the Church has spoken out. I came to this Country 57 years ago, just after the Second World War. From that time, I saw that the people were not treated well. The British South African Company (BSA) had constructed the railway to the Copperbelt. The prospec- tors (BSA) did not have an idea about the people of the land in which they had come.

  • The “Doctrine of Discovery” and Terra Nullius: a Catholic Response
    1 The “Doctrine of Discovery” and Terra Nullius: A Catholic Response The following text considers and repudiates illegitimate concepts and principles used by Europeans to justify the seizure of land previously held by Indigenous Peoples and often identified by the terms Doctrine of Discovery and terra nullius. An appendix provides an historical overview of the development of these concepts vis-a-vis Catholic teaching and of their repudiation. The presuppositions behind these concepts also undergirded the deeply regrettable policy of the removal of Indigenous children from their families and cultures in order to place them in residential schools. The text includes commitments which are recommended as a better way of walking together with Indigenous Peoples. Preamble The Truth and Reconciliation process of recent years has helped us to recognize anew the historical abuses perpetrated against Indigenous peoples in our land. We have also listened to and been humbled by courageous testimonies detailing abuse, inhuman treatment, and cultural denigration committed through the residential school system. In this brief note, which is an expression of our determination to collaborate with First Nations, Inuit and Métis in moving forward, and also in part a response to the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, we would like to reflect in particular on how land was often seized from its Indigenous inhabitants without their consent or any legal justification. The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB), the Canadian Catholic Aboriginal Council and other Catholic organizations have been reflecting on the concepts of the Doctrine of Discovery and terra nullius for some time (a more detailed historical analysis is included in the attached Appendix).

Moreland Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.stjohns.edu/jcls This Symposium is brought to you for free and open access by the Journals at St. John's Law Scholarship Repository.

FINAL_MORELAND 8/14/2018 9:10 PM THE PRE-HISTORY OF SUBSIDIARITY IN LEO XIII MICHAEL P. MORELAND† Christian Legal Thought is a much-anticipated contribution from Patrick Brennan and William Brewbaker that brings the resources of the Christian intellectual tradition to bear on law and legal education. Among its many strengths, the book deftly combines Catholic and Protestant contributions and scholarly material with more widely accessible sources such as sermons and newspaper columns. But no project aiming at a crisp and manageably-sized presentation of Christianity’s contribution to law could hope to offer a comprehensive treatment of particular themes. And so, in this brief essay, I seek to elaborate upon the treatment of the principle of subsidiarity in Catholic social thought. Subsidiarity is mentioned a handful of times in Christian Legal Thought, most squarely with a lengthy quotation from Pius XI’s articulation of the principle in Quadragesimo Anno.1 In this proposed elaboration of subsidiarity, I wish to broaden the discussion of subsidiarity historically (back a few decades from Quadragesimo Anno to the pontificate of Leo XIII) and philosophically (most especially its relation to Leo XIII’s revival of Thomism).2 Statements of the principle have historically been terse and straightforward even if the application of subsidiarity to particular legal questions has not.

  • Religion and the Abolition of Slavery: a Comparative Approach
    Religions and the abolition of slavery - a comparative approach William G. Clarence-Smith Economic historians tend to see religion as justifying servitude, or perhaps as ameliorating the conditions of slaves and serving to make abolition acceptable, but rarely as a causative factor in the evolution of the ‘peculiar institution.’ In the hallowed traditions, slavery emerges from scarcity of labour and abundance of land. This may be a mistake. If culture is to humans what water is to fish, the relationship between slavery and religion might be stood on its head. It takes a culture that sees certain human beings as chattels, or livestock, for labour to be structured in particular ways. If religions profoundly affected labour opportunities in societies, it becomes all the more important to understand how perceptions of slavery differed and changed. It is customary to draw a distinction between Christian sensitivity to slavery, and the ingrained conservatism of other faiths, but all world religions have wrestled with the problem of slavery. Moreover, all have hesitated between sanctioning and condemning the 'embarrassing institution.' Acceptance of slavery lasted for centuries, and yet went hand in hand with doubts, criticisms, and occasional outright condemnations. Hinduism The roots of slavery stretch back to the earliest Hindu texts, and belief in reincarnation led to the interpretation of slavery as retribution for evil deeds in an earlier life. Servile status originated chiefly from capture in war, birth to a bondwoman, sale of self and children, debt, or judicial procedures. Caste and slavery overlapped considerably, but were far from being identical. Brahmins tried to have themselves exempted from servitude, and more generally to ensure that no slave should belong to 1 someone from a lower caste.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See IN PLURIMIS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII ON THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY To the Bishops of Brazil. Amid the many and great demonstrations of affection which from almost all the peoples of the earth have come to Us, and are still coming to Us, in congratulation upon the happy attainment of the fiftieth anniversary of Our priesthood, there is one which moves Us in a quite special way. We mean one which comes from Brazil, where, upon the occasion of this happy event, large numbers of those who in that vast empire groan beneath the yoke of slavery, have been legally set free. And this work, so full of the spirit of Christian mercy, has been offered up in cooperation with the clergy, by charitable members of the laity of both sexes, to God, the Author and Giver of all good things, in testimony of their gratitude for the favor of the health and the years which have been granted to Us. But this was specially acceptable and sweet to Us because it lent confirmation to the belief, which is so welcome to Us, that the great majority of the people of Brazil desire to see the cruelty of slavery ended, and rooted out from the land. This popular feeling has been strongly seconded by the emperor and his august daughter, and also by the ministers, by means of various laws which, with this end in view, have been introduced and sanctioned. We told the Brazilian ambassador last January what a consolation these things were to Us, and We also assured him that We would address letters to the bishops of Brazil in behalf of these unhappy slaves.

In Memoriam: Charles Irwin Strickland My father (1947-2006) Through many delays, occasioned by a variety of hindrances, the detail of which would be useless to the Reader, I have at length brought this part of my work to its conclusion; and now send it to the Public, not without a measure of anxiety; for though perfectly satisfied with the purity of my motives, and the simplicity of my intention, 1 am far from being pleased with the work itself. The wise and the learned will no doubt find many things defective, and perhaps some incorrect. Defects necessarily attach themselves to my plan: the perpetual endeavour to be as concise as possible, has, no doubt, in several cases produced obscurity. Whatever errors may be observed, must be attributed to my scantiness of knowledge, when compared with the learning and information necessary for the tolerable perfection of such a work.

  • Nostra Aetate’: a Brief History of the Development of Catholic Church Teaching on Muslims and the Religion of Islam from 1883 to 1965
    ARAM, 20 (2008) 299-316. doi: 10.2143/ARAM.20.0.2033134A. UNSWORTH 299 LOUIS MASSIGNON, THE HOLY SEE AND THE ECCLESIAL TRANSITION FROM ‘IMMORTALE DEI’ TO ‘NOSTRA AETATE’: A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHING ON MUSLIMS AND THE RELIGION OF ISLAM FROM 1883 TO 1965 Dr. ANDREW UNSWORTH (Heythrop College, University of London) INTRODUCTION The documents of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) presented a positive evaluation of Muslims and the religion of Islam.1 As Robert Caspar reflects; when in 1965 the first sentence of Nostra Aetate art.3 says: ‘Upon the Moslems, too, the Church looks with esteem’, it is significant in that it is, ‘the first time in the history of the Church that the Magisterium, in solemn Council, advocates an attitude of esteem and of friendship towards Islam and the Mus- lims’.2 This institutional change of heart and mind was precipitated, largely, by the great Catholic scholar Louis Massignon (1883-1962); French intellectual, Churchman, social activist, and latterly Catholic priest of the Melkite (Arabic- speaking) Rite. Although Massignon died the same year that Vatican II began the influence of Massignon and his associates was strongly in evidence. Two short statements made by the Council refer to the Muslims, and both Lumen Gentium 16 and Nostra Aetate 3 owe much of their content to his intellectual and spiritual legacy.3 Massignon had early associations with Charles de Foucauld whose irenic approach to the Muslims was a considerable influence on the young Mas- 1 In this paper I will refer to the Second Vatican Council as ‘Vatican II’.

  • POPE ST. EUGENE I JOHN J. HEALY, SJ. the Death of Pope
    POPE ST. EUGENE I JOHN J. HEALY, SJ. Alma College HE death of Pope Gregory the Great in 604 marked the end of an T era in Roman history and the beginning of a century of chaos. Rome was still subject to the Emperor of Constantinople, who exer­ cised his jurisdiction through the Exarch of Ravenna; but the imperial power was growing weaker in the city and at times seemed almost powerless against the increasing anarchy of the citizens. The Em­ peror could not nominate the Pope, as he could nominate the Patriarch of Constantinople, but the Pope-elect could not be consecrated without the Emperor's approval, and Pope Martin I, who dared to mount the papal throne without waiting for the imperial permission, soon paid a terrible price for his temerity. The great doctrinal controversies of this century raged about the Monothelite heresy, which acknowledged but one will in Christ. This theory of Sergius, Patriarch of Constantinople, was largely a political expedient intended to win back the Monophysites, who held that the Council of Chalcedon had lapsed into Nestorianism when it defined that, even after the Incarnation, Christ has two complete natures, and who, by their opposition to the imperial policies, were proving a serious menace to the safety of the empire in its wars against the Persians and the Arabs. But like many another attempt to promote theological peace by imperial decree, Monothelitism was destined to increase rather than to diminish the disunion in the empire. The "Ecthesis," a Monothelite profession of faith published by Emperor Heraclius in 638, was revoked by his grandson, Constans II, because of the ill will that it produced; but Constans replaced it in 648 with the "Typus," a similar edict which ordered all bishops to approve and accept the theory of Sergius.
