Bush to oppose research on stem cells from embryos, as the U.S. leader deliber- ated over releasing federal funds for the practice. Meeting July 23 with Bush for the first time, the pope said the United States had a “special responsibility” to the rest of the world and could point the way to a “truly humane future” by defending human life and dignity through legislation. Bush, accompanied by his wife, Laura, and 19-year-old daughter Barbara, arrived at the papal summer residence southwest of Rome in a motorcade of black Cadillac limousines flying American flags. The president met with the pope behind closed doors for 30 minutes. Afterward, joined by Vatican officials and Bush’s entourage, the leaders exchanged speeches and small gifts. In his speech, the pope told Bush that political decisions regarding human life “have the gravest consequences for the future of civilization.” Sixty-five young people from across the archdiocese gathered at Fatima Retreat House in Indianapolis for the Catholic Leadership Conference The widespread legalization of abor- July 16-20 to learn how to be better leaders in youth ministry.

  • Marriage and the Family Within the Sacramentality of the Church: Challenges and Perspectives*
    MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY WITHIN THE SACRAMENTALITY OF THE CHURCH: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES* CARDINAL MARC OUELLET “The new openings for a pastoral approach based on mercy must take place within the continuity of the Church’s doctrinal tradition, which is itself an expression of divine mercy.” INTRODUCTION The upcoming Extraordinary Synod of Bishops on the theme of the family is sparking unprecedented interest in the Church due to the urgency and gravity of the pastoral problems concerned as well as the hopes and expectations expressed in response to preparatory consultations. * This address was originally presented at the Opening Act of the Judicial Year of the Ecclesiastical Tribunal of Valencia (Valencia, Spain, 27 March 2014). Communio 41 (Summer 2014). © 2014 by Communio: International Catholic Review MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY WITHIN THE CHURCH 227 Already during Vatican Council II, the Pastoral Con- stitution Gaudium et spes placed marriage and the family at the forefront of the urgent issues of our age.1 Since the publication of the encyclical Humanae Vitae, the 1980 Synod on the family, and John Paul II’s rich teaching on this subject,2 the Church has not ceased to follow with growing concern the evolution of mores and mentalities away from the heritage transmitted by biblical revelation and the Christian tradition. Pope Francis has compared the Church’s mission in the contemporary world to a “field hospital” that treats the many wounded strewn about a battlefield.3 The image per- fectly describes the situation of marriage and the family, which for several decades has experienced a serious deteriora- tion not only on the level of couples’ lived experience but also in legislation contrary to the traditional values of the family, promoted by groups of lobbyists who favor the dominant rela- tivistic mentality.

  • The Renewal of the Ambrosian and the Hispano-Mozarabic Liturgy After the Second Vatican Council
    „Ruch Biblijny i Liturgiczny” 66 (2013) nr 3 REV. TOMASZ BAĆ The Renewal of the Ambrosian and the Hispano-Mozarabic Liturgy after the Second Vatican Council The renewal of the liturgy and its general reform made after the Second Vatican Council generally concerns the Roman Rite, which all instruc- tions of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium refer to. The conciliar fathers were well aware of the fact that there is a need for renewing other rites and traditions existing in the Church.1 In the introduction to the first conciliar constitution it was stated that: “In faithful obedience to tradition, the sacred Council declares that holy Mother Church holds all lawfully acknowledged rites to be of equal right and dignity; that she wishes to preserve them in the future and to foster them in every way. The Council also desires that, where necessary, the rites be revised carefully in the light of sound tradition, and that they be given new vigor to meet the circumstances and needs of modern times” (Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium, 4). In the Latin Church, from among many local rites which, throughout centuries and alongside the Roman Rite, served as evidence of the rich- ness of the Christian liturgy, tradition and culture, only two rites were 1 In the context of liturgy renewal after the Second Vatican Council the terms “rite” and “liturgy” may be considered to be synonyms, although their meaning is not, in fact, identical; cf. A. M. Triacca, La Liturgia ambrosiana, [in:] La Liturgia: panorama storico generale, Genova 2002, p. 88 (Anàmnesis, 2).

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI AT THE INAUGURATION OF THE ACADEMIC YEAR AT THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF THE SACRED HEART Friday, 25 November 2005 Rector Magnificent, Distinguished Presidents and Professors, Doctors and Auxiliaries, Dear Students, I am very pleased to visit the Rome campus of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart to officially inaugurate the Academic Year 2005-2006. My thoughts turn at this moment to the other branches of the Athenaeum: to the main one in Milan, near the beautiful Basilica of St Ambrose, and to the ones in Brescia, Piacenza-Cremona and Campobasso. I would like the whole family of the "Catholic University" to feel united beneath God's gaze at this moment, at the beginning of the new stretch on its journey of commitment to science and training. With us here in spirit are Fr Gemelli and all the other men and women who forged the history of the Athenaeum with their enlightened dedication. We also feel the Popes close to us, from Benedict XV to John Paul II, who always had special ties with this University. My Visit today, in fact, is in continuity with the Visit my venerable Predecessor made five years ago to this seat of learning and for the same occasion. I address a cordial greeting to Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, President of the Toniolo Institute, and to the Rector Magnificent, Prof. Lorenzo Ornaghi, and I thank them both for their courteous words to me on behalf of all those present. I extend my greeting with respect to the other distinguished religious and civil figures who have 2 gathered here, particularly Sen.

When Jesus forgives the sinful woman, the Pope said, his action causes scandal, because it overturns the dominant attitude of the time. In- stead of rejecting sinners, however, Jesus embraces them: those who are outcast, the “untouchable”. In- deed, the Pope observed, “Jesus feels compassion. Literally: Jesus feels his heart tremble”. In this way, “Christ’s heart embodies and reveals the heart of God, who, wherever there is a man or woman suffering, wishes healing, libera- tion, full life for him or her”. This astonishing attitude to those in desperate situations, even those who have made many mis- takes in life, marks our Christian identity with the stamp of mercy, and gives a sure foundation to our hope. It is important to remem- ber, recalled the Holy Father, that “we are all poor sinners, in need of God’s mercy which has the “God’s garden of forgiveness”, Andrea Marie Brueck (2010) power to transform us and to give us back hope”, and that to those “who understand this fundamental truth, God gives the most beauti- ful mission in the world”, which is Appeal for peace in Nigeria and Central African Republic to love our brothers and sisters, and to proclaim “the message of a mercy which He does not deny anyone”.

  • Saints on Stage: Popular Hagiography in Post-WWII Italy
    religions Article Saints on Stage: Popular Hagiography in Post-WWII Italy Daniela Cavallaro School of Cultures, Languages and Linguistics, University of Auckland, Auckland 1010, New Zealand; [email protected] Abstract: This article brings to light several examples of the hagiographic plays staged in Italy during the 1950s and early 1960s in parishes, schools, and oratories. The article begins with a brief introduction to the continued tradition of staging the lives of the saints for educational purposes, which focuses on the origins, aims, and main characteristics of theatre for young people of the Salesians, the order founded by Don Bosco in 1859. Next, it offers a brief panorama of the pervasive presence of the lives of the saints in post-WWII Italy. The main discussion of the article concerns the hagiographic plays created for the Salesian educational stages in the years between 1950 and 1965, especially those regarding the lives of young saints Agnes and Domenico Savio. The article concludes that the Salesian plays on the lives of the saints, far from constituting a mere exercise in hagiography, had a definite educational goal which applied to both performers and audiences in the specific times of Italy’s reconstruction and the cold war. Keywords: hagiography; Italy; Salesians; Salesian theatre; St Agnes; Domenico Savio 1. Introduction “The Church has always believed that the apostles and Christ’s martyrs who had given Citation: Cavallaro, Daniela. 2021. the supreme witness of faith and charity by the shedding of their blood, are closely joined Saints on Stage: Popular with us in Christ, and she has always venerated them with special devotion, together with Hagiography in Post-WWII Italy.
