  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Love is like wine. Just as wine needs time to mature, so too love needs time to grow. In his post- synodal apostolic exhortation The Joy of Love, Pope Francis voices the belief that we can only grow in love during the different stages of our lives when we learn to use the words “Please?”, “Thank you” and “Sorry” generously and often. This is why he offers these three words as keys to living together in community, in the full knowledge that every loving relationship has both light and dark sides. It is true that the pope brings this up as part of his discourse on marital love. It is not difficult to see, however, that these words have an equally major impact on the success of other kinds of love that are lasting and comprehensive. The love in families between parents and children, be- tween brothers and sisters, between grandparents and grandchildren; the love practiced in religious communities and lay fraternities, in the Church and among the faithful; but also the love between unmarried cohabitants, between young (and not so young) lovers, between gay and lesbian partners. Further, Pope Francis repeats these words when he talks about the education and moral formation of children: “A person may be sociable and open to others, but if over a long period of time he has not been trained by his elders to say ‘Please?’, ‘Thank you’, and ‘Sorry’, his good interior disposition will not easily come to the fore” (AL 266). WONDERFULLY COMPLICATED A new wind is blowing through the Church.

  • Living Together with Refugees and Migrants, Our Brothers and Sisters Declaration of the Bishops of Belgium
    Living together with refugees and migrants, our brothers and sisters Declaration of the bishops of Belgium “Migrants present a particular challenge for me, since I am the pastor of a Church without frontiers, a Church which considers herself mother to all. For this reason, I exhort all countries to a generous openness which, rather than fearing the loss of local identity, will prove capable of creating new forms of cultural synthesis.” (Pope Francis in Evangelii Gaudium, n°210). Thousands of refugees are at our gates today. They are fleeing war, violence, dangers and hopeless situations in massive number. They come here, in Europe and in Belgium, for protection, asylum and a better life. Because here, there is peace and well-being, even though it is not a paradise. Today, these hundreds of thousands of refugees are added to other migrants who are apparently leaving their countries for other reasons: famine, lack of economic development and decent life. We see all that every day in the media. We are witness to these situations as they unfold and cannot close our eyes. We see people flock through the Mediterranean to Italy, Malta, Spain, Greece, the Balkans, en route for the North. We see columns of people on foot on the roads, in crowded trains, motor coaches and cars. We often see very clearly the causes of these tragedies, like the zones of conflict in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Eritrea, the fanatical persecutions in Africa, the Near and Middle East and Eastern Europe. Elsewhere in the world, people are fleeing from floods, droughts, ethnic cleansing, and dislocated political powers.

  • The Bishop's Role of Pastoral Governance
    The Bishop’s Role of Pastoral Governance: Its Interpretation and Reception by the Magisterium since Vatican II Submitted for the Degree Doctorate in Philosophy By Paul G. Gadie Supervisor: Dr. Eugene Duffy Submitted to the University of Limerick, March 2015 Abstract Author: Paul G. Gadie Title: The Bishop’s Role of Pastoral Governance since Vatican II: Its Subsequent Interpretation and Reception by the Magisterium This thesis will assess the interpretation and reception of the bishop’s role of pastoral governance by the Magisterium since the Second Vatican Council (1962- 65). Historically, this episcopal role had been increasingly restricted from the Council of Trent (1545-63) to the First Vatican Council (1869-70). Due to Vatican I’s premature end only papal governance was legislated for. Subsequently, the increasing dominance of the Roman School of Theology and of Ultramontanism located the exercise of Church governance in the Pope and the Roman Curia. While the bishop exercised a small measure of governance within his diocese, he was portrayed as the local Church manager of the universal Church. Vatican II defined a new and more expanded role of episcopal governance, expressed in a pastoral mode. Vatican II described episcopal governance of the local Church, but also of the universal Church, shared with and always under the leadership of the Pope. Using a hermeneutical approach suggested by Ormond Rush, three key Vatican II documents will be analysed to reveal the process of authorship and their understanding of episcopal governance. Rush’s hermeneutics will also help to analyse the reception of episcopal pastoral governance after the Council.
