  • 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.

  • Statement National Church Leaders' Consultation (Nclc)
    STATEMENT NATIONAL CHURCH LEADERS’ CONSULTATION (NCLC) Head-office of Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SACBC) Khanya House, 129 Main Street, Waterkloof, Pretoria, 29 January 2020 As senior church leaders of different denominations, we have met on 29 January at Khanya House, Head-Office of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SACBC) Pretoria, to reflect on the challenges South Africa faces at the beginning of 2020. Against the background of alarming reports presented to the Zondo Commission on State Capture – the plundering of public resources to benefit a few connected individuals or their companies; the mismanagement in State Owned Enterprises (SOEs); the lack of economic growth and employment opportunities and the increase in social hardship, South Africa urgently needs to get its house in order. 1. Political, economic and social crisis – a deficit of trust and accountability A main challenge is the deep crisis and deficit of trust between citizens and political parties, and between some political leaders, and citizens in South Africa. What kind of reforms are necessary (even constitutionally) to restore accountability between political representatives and citizens? Are we not manipulated by the fierce competition amongst fractions within different parties - that fight for dominance in leadership positions to control resources, whilst sacrificing the wellbeing of all South Africans? How can we restore leadership that serve the common good for all, that protects our environment and resources for future generations? How can we foster a life-giving economy where everybody benefits, that fosters a caring society – and not only powerful lobby groups (economic, political or civil society) that wrestle for the control of our destiny? Democracy is not only about regular elections – but the fair chance for all to influence policy choices, to have a real impact on shaping the priorities that affects our daily lives (and not only for those with power or special connections).

    June 2012 The Catholic Journalist Page 27 Book Award Winners Monty Williams, SJ, Novalis Publishing, Toronto, Ontario, Canada The authors of this book have once again achieved the seemingly impossible task of joining a revered spiritual tradition with the modern media of film. Their selection of films and their ability to connect the cinematic stories with the themes of the Spiritual Exercises is truly astounding. It is hard to do justice to the incredible accomplishment that this book represents. Third Place Why Stay Catholic, Michael Leach, Loyola Press, Chicago, Ill. This is a beautifully written book which draws one to meditate deeply on one’s own loyalty to the catholic tradition.The chapters are arranged more in a monastic style of meditation and sprituality which can lead one into a deeper union with the catholic faith and the creative God.
