Depending on our ability to protect ourselves and our access to medical devices, the threat affects the way we understand it and respond. 1 Here we want to explore a specific characteristic of the viral threat that affects us: its ability to reveal. Covid-19, silent revealer of hidden realities To unveil is to discover something hidden, to bring it to light, to remove the veil and reveal. Covid-19, among its many connotations, is a silent revealer of many realities that often remain hidden in the everyday life of economic, political, social and cultural systems in which we are immersed in one way or another. Crossing rigid and guarded borders, it has denounced xenophobic, nationalist and racist policies whose discourses it has made unconvincing. It is constantly accusing the health systems of those countries which, having neglected to invest sufficiently in public health or having handed over its administration to the private sector, today have no alternative but to recognize the value of a quality health system accessible to all. The virus highlights the true concerns of scientific researchers and the large pharmaceutical companies that finance them. It highlights the voracity of a global market that rubs its hands with the ointment of speculation. This infectious agent brings to light the search for complicit silence by an economic system that puts capital above human beings. At the same time, it bitterly exposes the neglect La Civiltà Cattolica, En. Ed. Vol. 4, no. 07 art. 1, 0620: 10.32009/22072446.0720.1 PHILOSOPHERS OF CONTAGION: HOW INTELLECTUALS PERCEIVE COVID-19 of education systems, of the protection of the elderly, national production, workers’ rights, the housing sector, the fight against extreme poverty and malnutrition. It rejects the shortcomings of political authorities and lays its eternal allies bare. It unmasks individualists, hoarders, those who seek to engage in corruption. It makes manifest the inequality of peoples, even spreading into countries – unlike other epidemics – by transmission through the wealthier classes, those who can travel. With appropriate distinctions, Covid-19 could be considered the most effective and prophetic Accuser of our times. To carry out its task, however, it uses a cruel method: the death of hundreds of thousands of people. Perhaps this is what Albert Camus was referring to when he wrote that “the plague loves the secret of the nest.”1 It seems apposite to us to consider this effective “revealer” 2 through the reflections it has provoked as it spreads. The Spanish philosopher Patricia Manrique2 has warned, however, of the need to be careful so that the novelty of the events we analyze does not distract us from the actual reality. And she recalls with Emmanuel Lévinas that rushing to say something ends up reducing “otherness” to “sameness.”3 The warning is not out of place. The enormous flow of reflections about the pandemic that come in these times from the intellectual world and the way they flatten out prior thought betrays a reflective haste. For this reason, Manrique relies on the necessary “hospitality of otherness,” which allows ideology and “selfishness” to give way to the novelty born of the reality we are trying to understand. Her invitation suggests letting the new reality evoke questions and generate a calm search for answers. She proposes a countercultural way of analyzing reality. Haste in the process of reflection, in fact, appears curiously akin to the capitalist productivism that many intellectuals wish to counteract. There is an anxiety to fill the open spaces with the criticism of postmodern culture that emerges from contemporary philosophy, anthropology and sociology. 1.A. Camus, “Exhortation to Doctors of the Plague.” 2.Cf. P. Manrique, “Hospitalidad e inmunidad virtuosa”, in L a Vo rá gin e (lavoragine.net/hospitalidad-inmunidad-virtuosa), March 27, 2020. 3.See E. Lévinas, Totalità e infinito, Milan, Jaca Book, 2006. CRISTIAN PERALTA, SJ Reflections on the pandemic from the world of intellectuals Let us now observe some reactions to the pandemic from the intellectual world. The Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben4 did not hesitate to denounce something that has always been one of his research themes: the state of exception chosen as the normal methodology of government. Starting from this he defined the measures to ensure isolation as disproportionate and referred to the epidemic as a pretentious invention, aimed at limiting one of the most important values of the West: freedom. He branded the confinement measures as an exaggerated reaction to what he claimed was “a normal flu.” He has reduced the virus to a mere ideological substitute for terrorism, insofar as it justifies exceptionality and causes collective panic, a panic 3 that a few days later he denounced as the cause of the abolition of the category of “neighbors” by virtue of the paradigm of the asymptomatic carrier.5 This, according to him, generates fear of encounter and therefore the annulment of political action, the ultimate objective of those rulers, whose adopted measures he has denounced as harsher than those of Fascism and Nazism.6 Camus, in the text we have quoted, states: “It is up to you to think often of your ignorance, to make sure you observe the measure, the only master of the plague.”7 It did not take that many deaths to recognize the threat as genuine, and the measures of distancing as a way of caring for others. The Catalan chemist and philosopher Santiago López Petit8 immediately echoed Agamben, claiming that the virus was produced by capitalism – which he considers in itself murderous – to normalize the state of exception. According to him, unbridled capitalism articulates its agro-industry and shapes the aetiology 4.See G. Agamben, “L’invenzione di un’epidemia”, in Quodlibet (www. quodlibet.it/giorgio-agamben-l-invenzione-di-un-epidemia), February 26, 2020. 5.See Id., “Contagio”, ibid.

  • Ecclesiastical Circumscriptions and Their Relationship with the Diocesan Bishop
    CANON 294 ECCLESIASTICAL CIRCUMSCRIPTIONS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DIOCESAN BISHOP What is the relationship of the faithful in personal ecclesiastical circumscriptions to the local diocesan bishop? OPINION The Apostolic See, in the Annual General Statistical Questionnaire, asks diocesan bishops the number of priests in the ecclesiastical circumscription of the diocese, their country of origin and whether they are diocesan or religious. The fact that the diocesan bishop is answering these questions indicates the close relationship between himself and any personal Ecclesiastical Circumscription. Canons 215 and 216 of the 1917 Code required that ecclesiastical circumscriptions be territorial within a diocese and an apostolic indult was needed, for example, to establish personal parishes for an ethnic group of the faithful. After World War II, Pope Pius XII provided for the pastoral care of refugees and migrants in his apostolic constitution Exsul Familia in 1952. Chaplains for migrants were granted special faculties to facilitate pastoral care without receiving the power of jurisdiction or governance. The Second Vatican Council admitted personal criteria in ecclesiastical organisation. The decree Christus Dominus 11 held that the essential element of a particular Church is personal, being a “portion of the people of God”. Personal factors are crucial to determine the communitarian aspect of the makeup of a community. After Vatican II, the Code of Canon Law needed revision. The Synod of Bishops in 1967 approved the principles to guide the revision of the code. The eighth principle stated: “The principle of territoriality in the exercise of ecclesiastical government is to be revised somewhat, for contemporary apostolic factors seem to recommend personal jurisdictional units.

  • Ministry to Families Must Meet Their Real Needs, Pope Says
    Ministry to families must meet their real needs, pope says VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The Catholic Church cannot claim to safeguard marriage and family life if it simply repeats its traditional teaching without supporting, encouraging and caring for real families, especially when they struggle to live up to that teaching, Pope Francis said. “It’s not enough to repeat the value and importance of doctrine if we don’t safeguard the beauty of the family and if we don’t compassionately take care of its fragility and its wounds,” the pope said March 19 in a message to a Rome conference marking the fifth anniversary of Amoris Laetitia, his 2016 exhortation of marriage and family life. The conference, sponsored by the Dicastery for Laity, the Family and Life, the Diocese of Rome and the Pontifical John Paul II Theological Institute for the Sciences of Marriage and Family, kicked off celebrations of the “Amoris Laetitia Family Year,” which will conclude June 26, 2022, at the World Meeting of Families in Rome. Pope Francis told conference participants, most of whom were watching online, that his exhortation was meant to give a starting point for a “journey encouraging a new pastoral approach to the family reality.” “The frankness of the Gospel proclamation and the tenderness of accompaniment,” he said, must go hand in hand in the Church’s pastoral approach. The task of the Church, the pope said, is to help couples and families understand “the authentic meaning of their union and their love” as a “sign and image of Trinitarian love and the alliance between Christ and his church.” The Church’s message, he said, “is a demanding word that aims to free human relationships from the slaveries that often disfigure them and render them instable: the dictatorship of emotions; the exaltation of the provisional, which discourages lifelong commitments; the predominance of individualism; (and) fear of the future.” Marriage is a part of God’s plan for individuals, is the fruit of God’s grace and is a call “to be lived with totality, fidelity and gratuity,” the pope said.

  • Treaty Between the Holy See and Italy
    TREATY BETWEEN THE HOLY SEE AND ITALY IN THE NAME OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY Whereas: The Holy See and Italy have recognized the desirability of eliminating every existing reason for dissension between them by arriving at a definitive settlement of their reciprocal relations, one which is consistent with justice and with the dignity of the two Parties and which, by assuring to the Holy See in a permanent manner a position in fact and in law which guarantees it absolute independence for the fulfilment of its exalted mission in the world, permits the Holy See to consider as finally and irrevocably settled the “Roman Question”, which arose in 1870 by the annexation of Rome to the Kingdom of Italy under the Dynasty of the House of Savoy; Since, in order to assure the absolute and visible independence of the Holy See, it is required that it be guaranteed an indisputable sovereignty even in the international realm, it has been found necessary to create under special conditions Vatican City, recognizing the full ownership and the exclusive and absolute power and sovereign jurisdiction of the Holy See over the same; His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff Pius XI and His Majesty Victor Emanuel III King of Italy have agreed to conclude a Treaty, appointing for that purpose two Plenipotentiaries, namely, on behalf of His Holiness, His Eminence Cardinal Pietro Gasparri, his Secretary of State, and on behalf of His Majesty, His Excellency Sir Benito Mussolini, Prime Minister and Head of Government; which persons, having exchanged their respective full powers, which were found to be in due and proper form, have agreed upon the following articles: Art.

  • Legalization of Greek Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia in 1968
    E-Theologos, Vol. 1, No. 2 DOI 10.2478/v10154-010-0017-3 Legalization of Greek Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia in 1968 Jaroslav Coranič University of Prešov in Prešov, Faculty of Greek-Catholic Theology A re-legalization of the Greek Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia was one of the most important results of the revival of socio - political process of the Prague Spring. This Church, unlike the Roman Catholic Church in the period 1950 - 1968 did not even exist legally. It was due to power interference of the communist state power in 1950. The plan of Commu- nist Party assumed the "transformation" of Greek Catholic Church into the Orthodox one. Procedure of liquidation of the Greek Catholic Church later came to be known as Action "P". Its climax came in April 28th 1950, when “sobor of Presov”, being prepared for a longer time, took place. The gath- ering in “sobor” manipulated by the communists declared in “sobor” the abolition of the Union with the Vatican, as a result the Greek Catholic Church ceased exist in Czechoslovakia and the clergy and faithful were meant to became the members of the Orthodox Church.1 In fact only a small part of the Greek Catholic clergy succumbed to power pressure and accepted Orthodoxy. Church leaders, as well as many priests who refused to change to the Orthodox have been arrested and sentenced to many years of punishment. The other Greek-Catholic clergy and their families were deported to the Czech lands and were forbidden to perform a duty of priestly ministry and banned from staying in eastern Slovakia for several years.

  • HISTORICAL ESSAYS About the Armenian Catholic Community in Armenia, Georgia and Oriental Europe
    HISTORICAL ESSAYS About the Armenian Catholic Community in Armenia, Georgia and Oriental Europe. Written by S. E. Archbishop Nerses Der-Nersessian 1. ORIGIN OF CATHOLICS IN ARMENIA The story of Armenian Catholics in Armenia and the Caucasus is long. There is no doubt that their roots go back many centuries and involve an interminable and controversial Christology concerning the Chalcedonies tradition. Historically, the Armenian Catholic community was characterized by migrations, which took place in the first quarter of the nineteenth century after the Russian– Turkish Adrianupol Alliance (1829). Seeking to escape the brutal conditions of the Ottoman Empire, Armenian Catholics left cities such as Karin-Erzerum, Alashkert and Mush and found sanctuary within the Russian Empire. New villages were created and the church was stabilized in the Shirak, Tashir and Lori regions of modern day Armenia, as well as in Javakhk, currently the Georgian provinces of Akhaltsikhe, Akhalkalaki and Ninodzminda (formerly Bogdanovka). Churches, schools and hospitals were built, organized by clergies and priests. They contributed to the Armenian Catholic Hierarchy with diocesan members and prominent monks educated in Mechitarist Congregation of Venice and Vienna and in Patriarchal Convent of Bzommar in Lebanon. The Armenian Catholic Church enjoyed a glorious century. Near the end of the nineteenth century, the Holy Seat of Rome created an ecclesiastical organization, and with the blessing of Russia’s imperial czarist government, designated the city of Saratov as the Armenian Catholics’ center. In 1909, Reverend Sarghis Der-Abrahamian [born Alexandrapol (currently Gümri) 1868, died Rome as an Archbishop 1952] was nominated Apostolic Administrator for Armenian Catholics in the Caucasus.
