THIS TIME IT WAS SCHÖNBORN’S TURN by *** On July 13, 2017 Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, archbishop of Vienna, spoke for four hours in two conferences and a question-and-answer session at Mary Immaculate College in Limerick, Ireland. The Austrian cardinal spoke in the context of the event "Let's Talk Family: Let's Be Family,” which is part of a series of assemblies organized in preparation for the world meeting of families (1), under the direction of the dicastery for the laity, family, and life, which will be held in Dublin from August 21 to 28, 2018. After reading the reporting on the event offered by the main specialized media outlets (2), I cannot help but note that when it comes to the “dubia” submitted to the pope by four cardinals, everyone is answering them except for him; and that in this way to the chaotic chorus of the most disparate comments and interpretations of “Amoris Laetitia” - which do anything but clarify for the faithful and confessors the problems raised by the document - there has been added a new voice, or better, a new fog.

  • Christianity and Modernity: Why the Liberal Democratic Regime Needs the Church
    ***Please note: This is a translation of the paper delivered at the conference in June 2009. The original version in Spanish has undergone subsequent revisions that are not reflected in this translation.*** CHRISTIANITY AND MODERNITY: WHY THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC REGIME NEEDS THE CHURCH The comprehension of tolerance in pluralistic societies with liberal constitutions requires that, when dealing with non-believers and those of different [religious] faiths, the believers must understand that the dissent they encounter will reasonably persist . liberal political culture expects that the non-believers also understand the same thing in their dealings with believers.1 Jürgen Habermas The Christian faith is not a system. It cannot be portrayed as a finished and complete intellectual construction. It is a road and the characteristic of a road is that it is only recognized as such if one enters it, and begins to follow it.2 Josef Ratzinger, THE PLACE OF THE CHURCH 1. “The evangelistic task of the Church in all times and all over the world necessarily reverberates in the life of human society. The Church cannot be confined their temples, as God cannot be confined to the conscience.”3 This assertion, made by Pope John Paul II in Asunción during his only visit to Paraguay in May 1988, reasserted not only the position of the Church in relation to politics, and the Paraguayan State, but also against its policy of exclusion and repression of that time. The historical-political context in mid-1988 was delicate: the national- populist regime of General Alfredo Stroessner had hardened greatly, trying to further stifle the yearning for greater freedom of the people, desires that the Catholic Church echoed by taking on a role as the “voice of the voiceless,” which upset the dictator and his henchmen, who criticized Ramos-Reyes its intervention in political affairs.

  • Preface Thomism and the Challenge of Integral Ecology
    Preface Thomism and the Challenge of Integral Ecology The late Fr. Richard John Neuhaus said that a “Thomist of the Strict Observance,” was one who believed that the thought of the Angelic Doctor is the intellectual hardware that can run any software. He was thinking, he said, of the Jesuit scholar Norris Clarke, whose phil- osophical work aimed at showing how Thomas Aquinas could make sense even of the process philosophers Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne. At Fordham University my then-girlfriend Cathy (now my wife) would take me to lunch with Father Clarke, then in his late eighties, a spry gnome-like character who would re- gale us with his intellectual adventures of bringing St. Thomas to every conceivable endeavor. Upon his mentioning a lunch date with the Dalai Lama, I asked him what he had said. Father Clarke looked at us and said very seriously, “I told him, ‘You have wonderful medi- tative practices, but your metaphysics are terrible!’” The Thomist of the Strict Observance then attempted, well, to enlighten him. I’m not sure I agreed with everything Father Clarke said about metaphysics or Thomas Aquinas, but that impulse to bring Thomism to bear on intellectual projects and problems out there in the world was remarkable to me. The tribe of old-fashioned Thomists is often logos 21:4 fall 2018 6 logos fiercely protective of their master in such a way as to ward off any- body attempting to bring him out of the thirteenth, the greatest of centuries, and into our own milieu. I do not doubt the intellectual seriousness, the learning, or the rigor of their work.

    MIGUEL PINTO GRILO O Matrimónio, Caminho de Santificação Estudo ético-teológico do pensamento de Karol Wojtyła / João Paulo II Dissertação final Sob orientação de: Prof. Doutor Jorge Teixeira da Cunha Porto 2014 2 PRÉ-SACRAMENTO1 Quem é Ele? O Indizível. A Existência autónoma. O Único. O Criador de tudo. Ao mesmo tempo, uma Comunhão de Pessoas. Nesta Comunhão, uma entrega recíproca da plenitude de verdade, bondade e beleza. Apesar de tudo isto, antes de mais nada – o Indizível. E, todavia, falou-nos de Si. Falou, também, criando o homem à Sua imagem e semelhança. Na policromia sistina, o Criador tem as aparências de um ser humano. É o ancião Omnipotente – um Homem, semelhante ao Adão que Ele cria. E eles? «Ele os criou homem e mulher.» Por graça de Deus receberam um dom. Assumiram em si – na dimensão humana – aquela mútua doação que existe nele. Ambos nus… Não sentiam vergonha, enquanto permanecia este dom – A vergonha sobrevirá com o pecado, mas agora continua o encantamento. Vivem conscientes do dom, embora não saibam exprimi-lo. Mas vivem disto. São puros. Casta placenta superis; pura cum veste venite, Et manibus puris sumite fontis aquam2 – li estas palavras todos os dias, durante oito anos, ao passar o portão da escola de Wadowice. O Pré-sacramento – ser apenas sinal visível de perene Amor. E quando se tornam «um só corpo» – ó admirável união – no horizonte deste conúbio desabrocham a paternidade e a maternidade. – É então que atingem as fontes da vida, que neles se encontram. – Remontam ao Princípio. – Adão conheceu a mulher e ela concebeu e deu à luz.

  • Biography of Pope John Paul Ii Pdf
    Biography of pope john paul ii pdf Continue John Paul II (1920-2005) CAROL JASEF VODYA, elected Pope on October 16, 1978, was born on May 18, 1920, in Wadowice, Poland. He was the third of three children born to Karol Oytytya and Emilia Kakovsky, who died in 1929. His older brother Edmund, a doctor, died in 1932, and his father, Carol, a non-commissioned officer in the army, died in 1941. He was nine years old when he received his First Communion and eighteen years when he received the Sacrament of Confirmation. After graduating from high school in Vadowice, he enrolled at the University of Jagelon in Krakow in 1938. When the Nazi occupying forces closed the university in 1939, Karol worked (1940-1944) in a quarry and then at the Solvea chemical plant to earn a living and avoid deportation to Germany. Feeling called to the priesthood, he began his studies in 1942 at a secret large seminary in Krakow under the direction of Archbishop Adam Stefan Sapiehi. At the time, he was one of the organizers of the Rhapsodic Theatre, which was also underground. After the war, Carol continued his studies at the main seminary, recently reopened, and at the School of Theology at Jagelon University, before his priestly ordination in Krakow on November 1, 1946. Father Oytysha was then sent by Cardinal Sapieha to Rome, where he received his doctorate in theology (1948). He wrote his thesis on faith, as is understood in the works of St. John the Cross. As a student in Rome, he spent his holidays performing pastoral service with Polish expats in France, Belgium and Holland.
