A Background Note has been published together with the Basic Text on the website. Over the last weekend (5-7 February 2016), Secretaries General of European Justice and Peace Commissions gathered in Lisbon for their annual meeting. On that occasion, a study session was organised, where Professor Carlos Farinha Rodrigues gave a presentation on the matter of inequality in Portugal and Europe. Secretaries General also met His Eminence Cardinal Manuel Clemente, the Patriarch of Lisbon, for an exchange about Church and society in Portugal. The Conference of European Justice and Peace Commissions (Justice and Peace Europe) is the alliance of 31 Justice and Peace Commissions in Europe, working for the promotion of justice, peace and respect for human dignity. Justice and Peace Europe contributes to raising awareness of the Catholic social doctrine in the European societies and the European institutions. Its General Secretariat is based in Brussels.

The Role of Science in the History of Portuguese Anti-Jesuitism
journal of jesuit studies 2 (2015) 77-99 brill.com/jjs The Role of Science in the History of Portuguese Anti-Jesuitism Henrique Leitão ciuhct, Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa [email protected] Francisco Malta Romeiras ciuhct, Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa [email protected] Abstract When dealing with the expulsion of the Jesuits from Portugal and with the building of anti-Jesuitism in the eighteenth century, historians usually focus on their alleged involve- ment in the attempt to murder king Dom José I and on the complex economical ques- tions related with the foundation of the state trade company in Brazil. However, the Pombaline accusation of obscurantism and scientific illiteracy also played a central role in the history of anti-Jesuitism in Portugal, mainly due to its wide acceptance and lon- gevity. This argument was not only directly relevant for the expulsion of the Jesuits in the eighteenth century but it was also a keystone of the anti-Jesuit propaganda that eventu- ally led to the expulsion of the Society of Jesus from Portugal in the twentieth century. Keywords anti-Jesuitism – expulsion of the Jesuits – Portuguese Jesuits – Marquis of Pombal – obscurantism – anticlericalism – republican revolution – history of science – science education – scientific popularization 1 The Arguments of an Anti-Jesuit Campaign Although anti-Jesuitism was born with the very foundation of the Society of Jesus and had a long and convoluted history, it is perhaps safe to say that it © Leitão and Romeiras, 2015 | DOI 10.1163/22141332-00201004 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution- Noncommercial 4.0 Unported (CC-BY-NC 4.0) License.

Explaining the Exceptional Behaviour of the Portuguese Church Hierarchy in Morality Politics
Shunning Direct Intervention: Explaining the Exceptional Behaviour of the Portuguese church Hierarchy in Morality Politics by Madalena Meyer Resende (FCSH-UNL and IPRI-UNL) and Anja Hennig (European University Viadrina) Abstract Why are the Catholic churches in most European countries politically active in relevant morality policy issues while the Portuguese hierarchy has remained reserved during mobilizing debates such as abortion and same-sex marriage, whose laws’ recent changes go against Catholic beliefs? The explanation could be institutional, as the fairly recent Portuguese transition to democracy dramatically changed the role attributed to the church by the former regimes. However, in Spain – whose case is similar to Portugal in matters of timing and political conditions – the hierarchy’s behaviour is different. This begs the question: what elements explain the exceptionality of the Portuguese case? This article shows that the Portuguese case illustrates an element usually not emphasized in the literature: the ideological inclination of the church elites. The article thus concludes that institutional access is a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the church to directly intervene in morality policy processes. A church may have access to influence political decision makers but, for ideological reasons, may be unwilling to use it. Keywords: Portugal, morality policy, Catholic church, Vatican Council II, abortion, gay-marriage, ideology, historical institutionalism Introduction the church from the policy-making arena. As we The recent debate in the Portuguese parliament will show, up until 2013, the Portuguese hierar- (July 2015) about restricting the 2007 liberal- chy showed great restraint during the process of ized abortion law in Portugal revealed a novum moral-political liberalization.

Com St Messe Don Giussani 2020 Ing
Press Release 15th anniversary of the death of Fr. Giussani and 38th anniversary of the Pontifical recognition of the Fraternity of CL Masses in Italy and throughout the world On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the death of Servant of God Fr. Luigi Giussani (February 22, 2005) and the 38th anniversary of the Pontifical recognition of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation (February 11, 1982), Masses will be celebrated by bishops and cardinals in Italy and around the world. The Mass will be offered for this intention: “That, in being faithful to the charism of Fr. Giussani and living our belonging to our Holy Church, we may follow Pope Francis’ invitation to ‘follow Jesus’ and ‘listen daily to His call’ which reaches us through His witnesses. Offering our lives for the Pope and for all our brothers and sisters in humanity, we ask the Holy Spirit that the encounter with Christ become more and more the total horizon of our lives and what truly forms all our relationships.” Referring to the context in which Christians are called to live out their faith, Fr. Julián Carrón (President of the Fraternity of CL) recently wrote, “Many times over the last few years, we have said–echoing the words of Pope Francis–that we are living a real ‘epochal change’. The signs of a radical shift in relationships at a personal, social and institutional level can be seen more and more clearly, all over the globe. In addition, in traditionally Christian countries, it is becoming ever more clear that societies are no longer capable of sustaining the Christian values that have shaped their people’s lives for centuries.

On his face still lingered that look of peace which betokens a life worthily used and gently relinquished. Many were the duties allotted him in his pilgrimage splendidly did he accomplish them! Providence permitted him the completion of his final task—a labor of love—but denied him the privilege of seeing it given to the community of his adoption. To him and to her, by whose side he sleeps, may it be both monument and epitaph. Thy will be done! M.
