The fullness of our faith can only be seen and understood, not by the scriptures alone, but by the tradition that we have inherited too. Both the scriptures and tradition are important for they both illuminate each other. Our total commitment to both makes us what we are, not just Christians but Catholics, the true living descendants of those who lived, prayed, suffered and died with Christ in the immediate aftermath of the Resurrection. To dismiss or to belittle the importance of daily personal prayer is to be Protestant, to proclaim and live it is to be Catholic. Your email address will not be published.

Catholic Spirituality — Scripture and Tradition. Scriptures and Tradition They assumed that their all readers prayed regularly every day, as they did themselves. A Daily Liturgy of Spiritual Endeavour The introduction of any or all of these rites in themselves would do nothing, in the long run, to change us personally, or the Church to which we belong, unless they were animated and inspired by the same profound daily liturgy of spiritual endeavour as practised by the first Christians, in imitation of how Jesus prayed and served the neighbour in need throughout his life on earth.

His personal spirituality is predominantly Franciscan, and his Mystical Theology Carmelite. Instead, it gives us another layer of engagement. Those are the kinds of opportunities we have when we investigate the spiritualities of other religions. It loses the sense of the overwhelming or the shock value. But in Hinduism, for example, some of the expressions of God are intended to shock believers and make you rethink how you think about God. There are stories about the god Shiva doing outrageous things that are inappropriate for holy people to do, and yet he does them. Or Kali, the mother goddess, who is a vicious warrior; she drips blood from fangs and wears a garland of skulls—the enemies who would take us from her. How are other traditions wrestling with the same questions I am as a Christian? How do other traditions explain their extraordinary experiences of God? Different religious narratives often express the same drama, the same dynamics. Where do you put your energy and your time? Part of what you treasure involves your time and your energy, your thoughts. For lots of people, their career is their idol or their god, without their even realizing it. You could, in fact be following your passion unwittingly. Unknowingly, you could be realizing that this is your way to God and how you engage God. I knew such a woman when I worked in a parish. Mabel volunteered at the Catholic school library. She loved them and accepted them. There was this loving, gentle quality to her soul that provided healing.

His personal spirituality is predominantly Franciscan, and his Mystical Theology Carmelite. He has sold over , books in more than twelve different languages. If anyone points in another direction then they are deceiving you. The original meaning thus had a distinctly inclusive sense that referred to the whole person being influenced by the Spirit or breath of God ruach. As the various streams of Christian practice have developed, today the way in which spirituality is expressed within Eastern Orthodoxy appears very different from how it is expressed within Roman Catholicism. For example, the sacramental emphases of all Catholic traditions contrast with the evangelical traditions of Protestantism. In recapturing the essence of a Christ-centred spirituality and a renewed vision of Christian life signalled by the Second Vatican Council , Post Vatican II scholars have turned to earliest Judeo-Christian foundations. In this definition, the dynamic mystery is God; this mystery pervades and fills all of creation. As the child of theology, Christian spirituality is about how our understanding of and connection to God — the mystery at the heart of life - profoundly influences how we live. During Christianity's 2,year history, certain charismatic figures have sparked religious renewals. Through the power of their lives and examples they have attracted followers down through the centuries. These spiritual giants include St Theresa of Avila, St. Benedict and St. Scholastica, St. Francis and St. Clare, St. Catholic spirituality - Wikipedia Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist.

While they did not set out to establish new traditions, their example inspired others down through the ages to follow Christ as they did, particularly through religious orders. Their followers pass on to us Benedictine, Franciscan, Dominican, Ursuline, Ignatian styles or "schools" of spirituality. In the latter part of the twentieth century, religious orders began to use the language of chari sm rather than spirituality to describe their distinguishing characteristics. Any truly catholic view will recognise that no one form of spiritual practice or tradition captures all of the Christian life. We are dealing with styles, expressions, modifications of the one basic Christian call to holiness in the Spirit modelled in Jesus. Diversity manifests the richness of the Christian life and all exist within and manifest the richness of the Christian community through the ages Guinan, Christian Spirituality: Many Styles — One Spirit , Catholic Update, Spiritual direction as a support to lay people also began to gain acceptance after Vatican II. Having originally grown out of the tradition of companioning anam cara particularly common in the early Celtic Christian tradition, spiritual direction had developed as a distinctive feature in religious orders in the Middle Ages and remains an important role to assist spiritual seekers today. Since , the psycho-spiritual perspectives pioneered by Wicks, Parsons and Capps have developed as an influential element in the contemporary understanding and approach to spiritual direction, lay ministry, and Christian formation. It is good for each of us to have an a nam cara to companion us to authentic vocation as catholic educators. Such friendship is creative and critical; it is willing to negotiate awkward and uneven territories of contradiction and woundedness.

Any additional reproduction for other purposes, whether in hard copy or electronically, requires the consent of the author. If cited or quoted, reference should be made to the full name of the author, the title, the working paper or other series, the year, and the publisher. ISSN 1725-6739 © Gábor Halmai, 2019 Printed in Italy European University Institute Badia Fiesolana I-50014 San Domenico di Fiesole (FI) Italy www.eui.eu cadmus.eui.eu Abstract In the paper I try to answer the question, whether there is a genuine constitutional theory of ‘illiberal constitutionalism,’ recently advocated in some East-Central European member states of the European Union, especially in Hungary and Poland. As I demonstrate, court ideologists of populist autocrats use Carl Schmitt’s concept of political sovereignty and collective identity of the people, or misuse Max Weber’s leader democracy or Richard Bellamy’s or others’ political constitutionalism ideas to legitimize authoritarian aims. I argue that the constitutional concept, which rejects liberalism as a constitutive precondition of democracy, cannot be in compliance with the traditional idea of liberal democratic constitutionalism. This concept has nothing to do with any majoritarian constitutional model based on the separation of power, or with political constitutionalism, or any kind of weak judicial review, and it misuses the concept of constitutional identity. One of the reasons of the illiberal turn has been that there was a lack of consensus about liberal democratic values at the time of the transition.

  • Iran Accountability Week
    Mark Dubowitz May 4, 2016 Iran Accountability Week Testimony before the Canadian Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights Mark Dubowitz Executive Director Foundation for Defense of Democracies May 4, 2016 Introduction: Chairman Munson, members of the committee, thank you for inviting me to appear before this distinguished committee. I applaud the Canadian Parliament for the annual Iran Accountability Week, an important series of events to draw attention to Iran’s deplorable record of human rights violations, support for terrorism, and regional aggression. I had the honor of testifying during the last four years, and I’ve had the privilege of working with former Member of Parliament and Minister of Justice Irwin Cotler. Professor Cotler is an essential voice, speaking for oppressed people around the world. Some had anticipated that with the election of President Rouhani, real change on the human rights front would occur. Moreover, they hoped that the Iran nuclear deal would be the first step in bringing Iran into the community of nations that respect international norms. But neither Rouhani’s election nor last summer’s nuclear agreement between Tehran and the P5+1 addressed the full range of Iran’s illicit activities, including ballistic missile development, support for terrorism, regional destabilization, and systemic human rights abuses. In fact, the situation has worsened. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is a fundamentally flawed arms control agreement because it provides Iran with a patient pathway to a nuclear weapons capability by placing only limited, temporary, and reversible constraints on Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for substantial sanctions relief.

  • On the 35Th Anniversary of the Victory of Iran's Islamic Revolution
    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 11/16/2020 6:29:30 PM Resilient Republic: On the 35th anniversary of the victory of Iran’s Islamic Revolution By Yuram Abdullah Weiler 2014-01-30 “Those who believe in the imminent collapse of the Islamic Republic underestimate its resiliency and misconstrue the nature of the popular discontent.” — University of South Florida Professor of Politics Mohsen M. Milani1 Allow me to extend my congratulations to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, President Hassan Rouhani, governmental officials and all the valiant people of the Islamic Republic of Iran on this auspicious occasion of the 35th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution. To U.S. leaders and western pundits: Despite your dire predictions to the contrary, the Islamic Republic has endured; it is high time to give up wishful delusions of regime change! To paraphrase the famous American author Mark Twain, the reports of the Islamic Republic’s demise have been greatly exaggerated, and indeed the western pundits began predicting the expiry of the Islamic Republic practically from before its inception. Ervand Abrahamian writes, “In the hectic months of 1979 - before the Islamic Republic had been officially declared - many Iranians as well as foreigners, academics as well as journalists, participants as well as observers, conservatives as well as revolutionaries, confidently predicted its imminent demise.”3 Iran’s former Minister of Finance Jahangir Amuzegar in 1993 wrote, “Since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in Iran in February 1979, not a year has passed without some voice in the opposition predicting the new regimes approaching if not imminent collapse.”4 Yet for 35 years, the Islamic Republic has patiently persisted, defying all fanciful forecasts of Iran’s impending implosion, some humorous highlights of which are listed below.

  • The Christian Life Communities As Sprung from the Sodalities of Our Lady 45
    STUDIES in the Spirituality of Jesuits 1. The Christian Life Communities as Sprung from the Sodalities of Our Lady George E. Ganss, S.J. 2. A Specimen Copy of Communications from the International Service in Ignatian Spirituality, Rome Articles by Miss Jose Gsell Sister Franchise Vandermeersch Published by the American Assistancy Seminar on Jesuit Spirituality, especially for American Jesuits working out their aggiornamento in the spirit of Vatican Council II Vol. VII March, 1975 No. 2 THE AMERICAN ASSISTANCE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY consists of a group of Jesuits from various provinces who are listed below. The members were appointed by the Fathers Provincial of the United States. The purpose of the Seminar is to study topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially American Jesuits, and to com- municate the results to the members of the Assistancy. The hope is that this will lead to further discussion among all American Jesuits — in pri- vate, or in small groups, or in community meetings. • All this is done in the spirit of Vatican Council II' s recommendation to religious institutes to recapture the original charismatic inspiration of their founders and to adapt it to the changed circumstances of modern times. The members of the Seminar welcome reactions or comments in regard to the topics they publish. To achieve these purposes, especially amid today's pluralistic cultures, the Seminar must focus its direct attention sharply, frankly, and specifi- cally on the problems, interests, and opportunities of the Jesuits of the United States. However, many of these interests are common also to Jesuits of other regions, or to other priests, religious men or women, or lay men or women.

DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS INC., et al. Defendants. PLAINTIFFS’ RESPONSE AND BRIEF IN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT FACEBOOK’S MOTION TO DISMISS COME NOW the Plaintiffs, by and through counsel, and hereby submit the following Response and Brief in Opposition to Facebook, Inc.’s Motion to Dismiss [Doc. 23], and hereby respectfully requests that the motions be denied or, in the alternative, determined to be moot, for the reasons set forth below. INTRODUCTION This case seeks redress for violations of the Civil Rights of all registered voters in America, resulting from the actions of key players who participated in the administration of the 2020 Presidential election. The actions of Defendants, including Facebook, have left the American people still questioning the integrity of the recent Presidential, even several months after the transition to a new executive administration. The damages to the Plaintiffs, and to those similarly situated, were caused by the immense power of Facebook, its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Defendant, Mark Zuckerberg (Zuckerberg), and the influence their unchallenged monopoly brought to bear on the entire Presidential election process—which continues, and is not going away. 1 Case 1:20-cv-03747-NRN Document 40 Filed 03/09/21 USDC Colorado Page 2 of 26 Facebook wrongly casts Plaintiffs’ claims as “the latest in a series of failed attempts to overturn the 2020 Presidential election.” The Plaintiffs have made no such request, and have not asked for such extraordinary relief.

  • Religion and the New Politics
    Religion and the New Politics Edited by Ronald A. Simkins and Zachary B. Smith 5. From the “Culture of Death” to the “Crisis of Liberalism” Recent Shifts in Catholic Politics Kevin P. McCabe, Seton Hall University Abstract This article identifies and assesses some of the shifts that have occurred in conservative Catholic politics in the United States over the last twenty years. For much of the late 1990s and early 2000s, a politics focused on denouncing “the culture of death” predominated in U.S. conservative Catholicism. In recent years, this political and religious framework has lost ground to a politics addressing “the crisis of liberalism.” I examine this new political agenda by looking at two of its leading exponents, journalist Sohrab Ahmari and political theorist Patrick Deneen. The article closes by raising three points for consideration regarding the relationship between the critique of liberalism and the magisterium of the Catholic Church, the place of LGBTQ persons in the critique of liberalism, and what this means for the future of politics in the Church in the United States. Keywords: Roman Catholicism, politics, liberalism, LGBTQ, theology 66 Religion and the New Politics Introduction For much of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, the contours of conservative Catholicism in the United States were fairly clear. A “culture war” mentality unified most of the Catholic Right, imbuing the battle against liberal progressives with religious fervor. During these years, the conservative Catholic agenda aligned closely with that of the Republican Party, most notably on social, economic, and military issues. While this arrangement had the appearance of solidity, the religious and political alignments of the Catholic Church in the United States shifted along with the wider changes in the political landscape that culminated in the election of Donald Trump to the presidency in 2016.
