  • St. Gallen, 12. Srpna 2014 Excelence, Situace Křesťanů a Jiných
    St. Gallen, 12. srpna 2014 Excelence, situace křesťanů a jiných náboženských menšin v Iráku je zcela nepřijatelná. Naléhavá potřeba bránit a chránit lidská práva těchto lidí a přežití jejich komunit je evidentní. Mezinárodní společenství je povolané k tomu, aby ukončilo tuto tragédii všemi dostupnými legitimními prostředky. My, evropští biskupové, vyjadřujeme také pocity našich věřících a žádáme Radu bezpečnosti, aby učinila rozhodnutí, která ukončí tyto hrozné skutky, při nichž tisíce lidí umírají nebo jsou zabíjeny či nuceny opustit vlastní domovy z důvodu náboženské příslušnosti. Generální sekretář OSN a velká část světového veřejného mínění již jasně odsoudili to, co se odehrává v severním Iráku. Je bezpodmínečně nutné přijmout konkrétní humanitární opatření a odpovědět tak na zoufalou situaci dětí, žen, starých lidí a mnoha dalších osob, které ztratily všechno, aby utekly před smrtí, a nyní se nachází v nebezpečí úmrtí hlady a žízní. V posledních letech se mnoho pokročilo v porozumění zodpovědnosti mezinárodního společenství v oblasti ochrany lidských práv, zejména práva na život nevinných lidí a práva na bezpečí. Doufáme, že i v tomto případě bude mezinárodní společenství schopné odpovědět rychlou pomocí mnoha uprchlíkům a zajistit jim možnost bezpečně se vrátit do svých měst a domů. Tragédie, k níž dochází na severu Iráku, nejen ohrožuje multikulturní soužití, jež je nedílnou součástí našeho globalizovaného světa. Představuje také riziko pro křesťany v zemi, kde žijí od samých počátků křesťanství a kde je jejich přítomnost oceňovaná a potřebná pro mír na místní i světové úrovni. S touto výzvou se připojujeme k Svatému otci, papeži Františkovi, který v posledních dnech bez přestání vyzýval mezinárodní společenství, aby se mobilizovalo a poskytlo konkrétní pomoc lidem v nebezpečí, a aby učinilo vše pro zastavení tohoto pekelného kruhu násilí.

Bishop’s Office Bishop’s How quickly our lives can change in a few short hours. The events of 15 March have impacted on us in ways we could not imagine. The violence, inflicted by one man, targeting a group gathered for prayer, is truly horrifying. We struggle to understand what would bring a person to want to do this. It is the mystery of free will which God gives to us. It is not God’s will that this happens, it is the effect of sinfulness and a multitude of choices beforehand. We live with the consequences of this. However the reaction of our Muslim brothers and sisters, Marian College and indeed so many in our country, gives us hope that this It has been my pleasure to be able to announce the will not define who we are.

    Catholicism in Sweden Embodying the Church of Mission RYSZARD BOBROWICZ Ryszard Bobrowicz is a doctoral student in practical theology at Lund University. [email protected] Introduction: Catholic Revival within the Swedish Religious Landscape The Swedish religious landscape is full of contradictions . On the one hand, Sweden is described as one of the most secularized countries in the world . And, according to some measures, it is – religious participation is at an all-time low and only about 19 % of the population see themselves as reli- gious,1 religious schools are frowned upon,2 religion itself is rarely discussed and is established as a category of otherness, often treated as odd and out- dated,3 and, at least in principle, public expressions of religiosity remain objectionable . On the other hand, Sweden, similarly to neighbouring Denmark and Norway, falls under the so-called “Scandinavian paradox” 4.
