Fonseca-Martinez Washington, D.C. 2011 Pope John Paul II’s Understanding of Education in Moral Values and Its Application to Catholic Secondary Education in Present-Day Nicaragua Silvio J. Fonseca-Martinez, S.T.D. Director: John Grabowski, Ph.D. Karol Wojtyla/John Paul II reinvigorated Catholic education anthropologically and theologically. He encouraged Catholic schools, as a privileged place for Catholic education, to provide a solid Catholic moral foundation for their students. This dissertation explores his key ideas on Catholic education both before and after Wojtyla’s elevation to the papacy. His teachings in this area are relevant to Nicaraguan Catholic schools to reinforce their current educational programs. Methodologically, this study focuses on the moral values of responsibility, justice and solidarity, highlighted by Pope John Paul II to the Church of Nicaragua. It then uses these values to analyze samples of the moral curricula of three religious communities used in Nicaraguan Catholic secondary schools in terms of their similarities to John Paul II’s teaching on Catholic education. The study begins by analyzing the current moral reality of Nicaragua in which young people are immersed. The second chapter provides key concepts articulated by John Paul II through which he enriched the concept of the human person and on which he fundamentally based his moral theology. The third chapter develops the specific teachings of the late pope on Catholic education which could be applied as resources for a religious curriculum in Catholic schools. Finally, the conclusion summarizes some concerns that Catholic schools in Nicaragua must face as they deal with a crisis of values. The interest in a renewal of Catholic education emerges from an apparent crisis of identity in numerous Catholic schools around the world. Many schools have focused more on pedagogical process and humanistic subject matter than on providing a Christian moral formation for their students. Thus, John Paul II worked to remind Catholic schools of the riches of Vatican Council II and he motivated them in terms of his vision of the human person to offer a clear and vigorous Catholic education that would be able to respond to the challenges of contemporary society. This dissertation by Silvio J. Fonseca-Martinez fulfills the dissertation requirement for the doctoral degree in Sacred Theology approved by John Grabowski, Ph.D., as Director, and by William Barbieri, Ph.D., and Frederick Ahearn, D.S.W. as Readers. ____________________________________ John Grabowski, Ph.D., Director ____________________________________ William Barbieri, Ph.D., Reader ____________________________________ Frederick Ahearn, D.S.W., Reader ii DEDICATION This research is respectfully dedicated to the honor of all my professors who taught me at The Catholic University of America, and to many North American and Nicaraguan friends who supported and believed in me while I was experiencing difficult times working on my doctorate. Not having disappointed them is a great satisfaction to me. iii Table of Contents ACKNOWLEDGMENTS …………………………………………………… vii INTRODUCTION……………………………………………………………. 1 CHAPTER ONE ………….……………………………………………. 11 THE MORAL REALITY OF NICARAGUA 1.1.

I would especially like to thank the brothers and sisters in the faith who live in the United States and during my stay there showed me such solidarity. In particular I would like to mention the Cursillos de Cristiandad of the Diocese de Arlington. My special thanks go to Dr. John Grabowski, who guided me with courage and steadfastness during this process despite differences in language and culture. He became for me one of the greatest thinkers and professors that God has put in my academic life. Another special gratitude is for Father Francis Moloney, former Dean of the School of Theology and Religious Studies. He accepted and supported me in many ways during times when God sent me some difficult tests. Another special gratitude is for Dr. Frederick Ahearn, a close friend and reader of this dissertation, who stood by my side while I was a student at this university and who gave me the confidence and hope to move forward in this great adventure. Equal gratitude goes to Dr. William Barbieri, my other reader, who helped me with his keen observations. A special mention is for Bill Richey, my proofreader, whom God put in my path as an angel and whose solidarity will never be forgotten. Finally, I would like to thank to the Catholic University of America, which contributed greatly to my progress and demonstrated a true solidarity with Nicaragua so that this doctorate might serve to prepare future priests and thereby strengthen evangelization in Nicaragua. vii INTRODUCTION John Paul II, the 264th successor of Peter, named Karol Josef Wojtyla, elected pope on October 16, 1978, was born in Wadowice, Poland on May 18, 1920 and passed away on April 2, 2005. His life was filled with sorrow due to the early deaths of his parents and brother, the Nazi occupation of Poland, and the subsequent Communist invasion of his country. This painful life, however, made him remarkable and worthy of admiration. As John Cornwell describes him, John Paul II was an example of patience and fortitude.1 He was ordained to the priesthood in Krakow on November 1, 1946. His bishop discovered his intellectual skills and sent him to Rome, where he received a doctorate in theology in 1948 under the direction of R.M. Garrigou-Lagrange, an expert in Thomistic philosophy. He selected as the subject of his doctoral research St. John of the Cross. The focus of his dissertation, Faith According to St. John of the Cross, revealed his inclination to mystical experience and his concern to integrate faith and dogma. As Rocco Buttiglione

SCHILTZ† In recent decades, a strand of feminist theory variously referred to as “care feminism,” “cultural feminism,” or “relational feminism” has been arguing for a social re-evaluation of what has traditionally been regarded as “women’s work”—the care of dependents, such as children and elderly or disabled family members. As part of that project, a number of feminists have suggested that the traditional liberal theory of justice, based on the ideal of autonomous, independent actors, should be rejected, or at least revised to reflect the reality of dependency in the life of every individual. Recent books offering such alternative, dependency-based theories of justice include: Joan Tronto, Moral Boundaries: A Political Argument for an Ethic of Care;1 Eva Feder Kittay, Love’s Labor;2 Robin L.

  • 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.

    The Holy See ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE BISHOPS OF SCANDINAVIA ON THEIR VISIT AD LIMINA APOSTOLORUM Saturday, 5 April 2003 Dear Brother Bishops, 1. "Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord" (1 Tim 1:2). With fraternal affection I warmly welcome you, the Bishops of Scandinavia. Your first visit ad Limina Apostolorum in this new millennium is an occasion to renew your commitment to proclaim ever more courageously the Gospel of Jesus Christ in truth and love. As pilgrims to the tombs of the Apostles Peter and Paul, you "come to see Peter" (cf. Gal 1:18) and his collaborators in the service of the universal Church. You thus confirm your "unity in the same faith, hope and charity, and more and more recognize and treasure that immense heritage of spiritual and moral wealth that the whole Church, joined with the Bishop of Rome by the bond of communion, has spread throughout the world" (Pastor Bonus, Appendix I, 3). 2. As Bishops, you have been endowed with the authority of Christ (cf. Lumen Gentium, 25) and entrusted with the task of bearing witness to his saving Gospel. The faithful of Scandinavia, with great expectation, look to you to be steadfast teachers of the faith, selfless in your readiness to speak the truth "in season and out of season" (2 Tim 4:2). By your personal witness to the living mystery of God (cf. Catechesi Tradendae, 7), you make known the boundless love of him who has revealed himself and his plan for humanity through Jesus Christ.

    The Holy See ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE PLENARY ASSEMBLY OF THE CONGREGATION FOR THE EVANGELIZATION OF PEOPLES Saturday, 24 May 2003 Your Eminences, Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood, Dear Brothers and Sisters, 1. I welcome and greet with affection each one of you who are taking part in the Plenary Assembly of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. I greet first of all Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, Prefect of your Congregation; I am grateful to him for the words he has addressed to me on your behalf. With him, I greet the Secretaries, the Undersecretary and the collaborators of the Dicastery; I greet the Cardinals, Bishops, men and women Religious and all who are present. During the work of the Plenary Meeting, you have addressed an important aspect of the Church's mission: "Formation in the mission lands", with reference to the priests, seminarians, Religious, catechists, and lay people involved in pastoral activities. This topic deserves your full attention. 2. The urgent need to train apostles for the new evangelization was reasserted by the Second Vatican Council as well as by the Synods of Bishops held in recent years. The work of the Synodal Assemblies has resulted in important Apostolic Exhortations, of which I will only mention Pastores Dabo Vobis, Vita Consecrata, Catechesi Tradendae and Christifideles Laici. The recently founded Ecclesial Communities are rapidly expanding. Precisely because weaknesses and difficulties in their development process have sometimes been identified, it appears urgently necessary to insist on the formation of well-qualified pastoral workers by means of systematic programmes, adapted to the needs of the present time and attentive to "inculturating" the Gospel in the different settings.

    PAPAL PILGRIMAGES TO POLAND AS PEDAGOGICAL PROGRAMS, 1979-1987 By Richard Nabozny Submitted to Central European University History Department In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Maciej Janowski Second Reader: Nadia Al-Bagdadi CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2012 CEU eTD Collection Copyright Notice Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. Abstract This thesis aims to reconstruct the speeches given by Pope John Paul II on his visits to Poland in 1979, 1983, and 1987 as part of a specially designed pedagogical program. The author argues that one of the functions of the papal visits, as a pedagogical program, was to provide instruction and establish a firm moral and cultural foundation for the people of communist Poland. That being said, this thesis also asserts that John Paul II viewed himself as a pedagogue to the nation. The author shows how the Pope’s intellectual development contributes to this position and examines his speeches in light of the situation in Poland before and after each visit. Quentin Skinner’s ideas on meaning and intention are used as the analytical apparatus for this thesis. By distinguishing between different forms of meaning and the intentions of speech, this thesis is able to argue that there are present different layers of meaning in the Pope’s speeches; of which one corresponds to the pedagogical programs.

  • To the Members of the John Paul II Foundation: the Formation of the Young Is an Investment for the Future
    N. 161021a Friday 21.10.2016 To the members of the John Paul II Foundation: the formation of the young is an investment for the future This morning in the Consistory Hall Pope Francis received the members of the St. John Paul II Foundation, whose president is Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko, and which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. The Foundation supports initiatives of an educational, cultural, religious and charitable character, inspired by St. John Paul II, whose liturgical memory is celebrated tomorrow, and is active in various countries especially in Eastern Europe, where it has enabled many students to complete their studies. The celebration of the anniversary allows the Foundation to evaluate the work that has been carried out so far, and at the same time to look to the future with new aims and objectives. The Pope therefore encouraged its members to continue their efforts in the promotion and support of younger generations, so that they may face life’s challenges, always inspired by an evangelical sensibility and the spirit of faith. “The formation of the young is an investment for the future: may the young never be robbed of their hope for a better tomorrow!”. “The Jubilee Year that is coming to an end encourages us to reflect and meditate on the greatness of God’s mercy in a time in which humanity, due to advances in various fields of technology and science, tends to consider itself to be self-sufficient, as if it were emancipated from any higher authority, believing that everything depends on itself alone. As Christians, however, we are aware that everything is a gift from God and that the true wealth is not money, which on the contrary can enslave, but rather God’s love, which sets us free”.
