The Kulturkampf was a clash between the Catholic Church and the newly-formed German Empire. The state under the leadership of Prince Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) unleashed the Kulturkampf with a series of anti-Catholic laws, which severely restricted and afflicted the Church. This laws led to the expulsion of priests and religious, while many bishops were imprisoned. As a result, dioceses were without bishops and parishes had no pastors. The aim of this struggle was to attack the authority of the Catholic Church in matters such as education, marriage, and papal authority. More particularly, the pope's authority over the Catholic Church – one which demands the loyalty of all Catholics all over the world – was seen by Bismarck as a kind of intrusion which harmed the unity of the state. In the end Bismarck did not succed in attaining all his goals, but he was successful in weakening the existence and influence of the Catholic Church in Germany. In this chaotic situation Arnold Janssen2 discovered that God was calling him to undertake a difficult task. He proposed that some of the expelled 1 The Kulturkampf, which means «culture struggle», was a Church-state dispute in Germany during the 1870s. It erupted in 1874, when anti-Church liberals in the Prussian parliament attacked the influence of the Catho1ic Church. The German chancellor Otto von Bismarck joined in the attack. German Catholics rallied around their bishops and priests, forcing Bismarck to seek ways to reconcile the Church with the state after the death of Pope Pius IX in 1878. Richard P. MCBRIEN, ed., The HarperCollins Encyclopedia of Catholicism, New York 1995, 385; Cf. Hubert JEDIN and John DOLAN, History of the Church, London 1981, 26. 2 Arnold Janssen (1837-1909) is the founder of three religious congregations: the INTRODUCTION 2 priests go to the foreign missions or at least help in the preparation of missionaries. Many people said that he was not the right man for the job, or that the time was not right for such a project. Arnold's answer was, «We live in a time when much is collapsing and new things must be established in their place.»3 Slowly but surely, and with a little prodding from the Vicar Apostolic of Hong Kong, Msgr. Giovanni Timoleone Raimondi (1827- 1894), the Society of the Divine Word (SVD)4 was finally founded on 8 September 1875. At present SVDs work in 72 countries and are divided into 59 provinces, regions, and missions. The 6096 members of this congregation both priests and religious brothers, come from 70 different countries5. Significance of the study The SVD in Indonesia will soon celebrate one hundred years of missionary presence (2013). So it is appropriate to see how it all started. We can say that the SVD mission in Indonesia is a great blessing to the whole Society by the mere fact that at present the largest number of SVD missionaries comes from Indonesia. In fact, Indonesian Divine Word Missionaries now rank first in the Society's over-all membership, with a total of about 1,515 Indonesians. They are working in 69 countries around the world6. Society of the Divine Word (1875), the Missionary Sisters Servants of the Holy Spirit (1889), and the Sisters Servants of the Holy Spirit of Perpetual Adoration (1896). Before founding the congregations, he served as a diocesan priest of the diocese of Muenster, Germany. He was canonized by Pope John Paul II on 5 October 2003. Cf. Josef ALT, Journey in Faith: The Missionary Life of Arnold Janssen, Analecta SVD 85, Roma 2002, 1036. 3 Ibid., 57. 4 The name Society of the Divine Word is a translation from Latin, Societas Verbi Divini, which is shorten to SVD. In this paper, the writer will use «SVD» as the substitute for the term «The Society of the Divine Word». 5 To this date the SVD counts 5,429 deceased members and 6,096 living members. This means that from the beginning about 11,525 individuals have been involved in the mission of the SVD. Cf. Catalogus SVD, Romae 2007, 451-464. 6 Indonesian membership is 1/5 of the entire Society; it means that for every 5 SVDs 1 is from Indonesia. There are 875 in perpetual vows, 434 are in temporary vows and 206 novices. Cf. Statistics Office of the Society of Divine Word, Rome, 7 December 2006. INTRODUCTION 3 In view of the up coming centennial celebration of the Society of the Divine Word in Indonesia, this study attempts to shed light on beginnings of the SVD mission there and on the cultural and religious situation in Indonesia at that time. Since Indonesian members form such a large part of our Society, it is beneficial to have a good understanding about the mission there. So this work is a contribution to the history of the SVD in particular as well as to the local and universal ecclesiastical history. Objectives of the study This paper will study the origins of the mission of the SVD in Indonesia. The examination of various documents reveals the reciprocal process of negotiations among various persons such as the Vicar Apostolic of Batavia, the Superior General of the SVD, the Superior of the Jesuits, the Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda Fide7, the Apostolic Internuncio to the Low Countries, and others. Hopefully this work will help readers to understand and appreciate the handing over a part of the Jesuit mission in Indonesia to the SVD and erecting the Apostolic Prefecture of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Problem of the study The main question of this paper concerns the reasons for the transfer of the mission. Why did the Jesuits want to hand over some parts of their mission in Indonesia to other congregations? Were there other behind-the- scenes forces pushing for the transfer (e.g., the Propaganda Fide or the Apostolic Internuncio to the Low Countries)? As for the SVDs beginning a mission in Indonesia, it may be interesting to know whether the takeover of a part of the Jesuit mission was done smoothly and without difficulties. This study will investigate the following questions: 1. What was the cultural, political and ecclesiastical situations in Indonesia? 2. Who was the precursor of the negotiations to hand over a part of the Jesuit mission to the SVDs? 3. What was the process of the negotiations? 7 The «Propaganda Fide» is a Latin term for the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, an office of Roman Curia. In this paper, the writer will use the «Propaganda Fide» instead of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith. INTRODUCTION 4 4. How and in what circumstances did the SVD start its mission in Indonesia? Methodology and Organization of the Study This historical study is based mainly on the documents of and the corespondence between the SVD and the Vicar Apostolic of Batavia, the SVD and the Propaganda Fide, and the SVDs and Jesuits and others involved in this process.

Luke Dysinger, OSB Mission and Monasticism, Studia Anselmiana 158, Analecta Monastica 13, (Sant’ Anselmo, Rome; EOS Verlag, Germany, 2013), pp. 185-195. The story of the Benedictines of Szechwan Province during the first half of the Twentieth Century can be divided into three epochs or phases encompassing two geographic locations. The three phases correspond to the first three superiors of the monastery, each of whom possessed a unique vision of how Benedictine monasticism could best serve the needs of the Catholic Church in China. The two geographic locations are: Xishan, near Shunqing, where the community was first established in 1929; and Chengdu, the capital of Szechwan Province where in 1942 the monks were compelled by the vicissitudes World War II to seek refuge 1: CONTEMPLATIVE ASPIRATIONS 1927-1933: Xihan, Prior Jehan Joliet In 1926 Dom Jehan Joliet, a monk of the Abbey of Solesmes, and Dom Pie de Cocqueau of the Abbey of St. André (now know as SintAndries, Zevenkerken), departed the port of Marseilles for Beijing. They were to establish a new monastic foundation that would be a canonical dependency of St. André.1 The Benedictine Abbey of St. André had been designated at its inception as a “Monastery for the Missions”. Since 1898 the community had been committed to monastic missionary work in Brazil by its founder, Abbot Gerard Van Caloen; and in 1910 his successor, Theodore Neve, pledged the community to work in Africa by accepting the Apostolic Prefecture of Katanga in the Congo.

  • The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
    The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, The publication on the Ro- man Catholic Church which you are holding in your hands may strike you as history that belongs in a museum. How- ever, if you leaf through it and look around our beauti- ful country, you may discover that it belongs to the present as well. Many changes have taken place. The history of the Church in this country is also the history of this nation. And the history of the nation, of the country’s inhabitants, always has been and still is the history of the Church. The Church’s mission is to serve mankind, and we want to fulfil Jesus’s call: “I did not come to be served but to serve.” The beautiful and unique pastoral constitution of Vatican Coun- cil II, the document “Joy and Hope” begins with the words: “The joys and the hopes, the grief and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the grief and anxieties of the followers of Christ.” This is the task that hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country strive to carry out. According to expert statistical estimates, approximately three million Roman Catholics live in our country along with almost twenty thousand of our Eastern broth- ers and sisters in the Greek Catholic Church, with whom we are in full communion. There are an additional million Christians who belong to a variety of other Churches. Ecumenical cooperation, which was strengthened by decades of persecution and bullying of the Church, is flourishing remarkably in this country.

  • Spirituality of the Founding Generation
    Arnold Janssen Spirituality Center 2005 The Spirituality of our Founding Generation By Sr. Franziska Carolina Rehbein SSpS, Dr. Theol. Preface: This paper considers only the spirituality of the founder and co-foundresses themselves, that is, the spirituality of St. Arnold Janssen, Bl. Helena Stollenwerk, Mother Maria, and the Servant of God Hendrina Stenmanns, Mother Josepha. It does not take into account other members of the founding generation whose life and witness, as well as their mission experience or ministry in the home country had a contributing influence on the spirituality at the beginning. Among those we would number: Mother Maria Michaele, co-foundress of the Servants of the Holy Spirit of Perpetual Adoration, Bishop John Baptist Anzer, John Janssen, Brother Bernard, Nicolas Blum, Hermann Wegener, Hermann auf der Heide and numerous sisters, brothers and priests of the first generation. The reflections on St. Arnold Janssen have been drawn mainly from the book: Gripped by the Mystery – Arnold Janssen, Man of Prayer by Franziska C. Rehbein SSpS, published by Steyler Verlag, 2003, and the sources and references listed therein. Religious Background The religious background environment of Arnold Janssen and the founding generation takes us back to the mysticism of the Lower Rhineland. The blossoming of the “Devotio Moderna” deeply influenced Germany, especially the Lower Rhineland, the home area of Arnold Janssen and the co-foundresses of the religious-missionary congregations of Steyl. This nineteenth century spirituality was part of the so-called “modern spirituality” that was characterised by an affective and devotional nature. It was christocentric and trinitarian with an emphasis on the Incarnate Word.

He studied liberal arts in Santiago, Chile, and in 1960 earned a degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires. Between 1964 and 1965 he was a teacher of literature and psychology at Inmaculada High School in the province of Santa Fe, and in 1966 he taught the same courses at the prestigious Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires. In 1967, he returned to his theological studies and was ordained a priest on December 13, 1969. After his perpetual profession as a Jesuit in 1973, he became master of novices at the Seminary of Villa Barilari in San Miguel. Later that same year, he was elected superior of the Jesuit province of Argentina and Uruguay.
