U.S.- Vatican Envoy? Possibility, Nixon Tells News Media U.S.- Vatican Envoy? Possibility, Nixon Tells News Media See Stories, PP. 4, 14 WASHINGTON—(NC)—President Richard M. Nixon opened the door to permanent diplomatic relations with the Vatican this week when he said in a news conference he hoped to establish "close consultation on foreign policy matters in which the Vatican has very great interest and very great influence." During the discussion of his eight-day European tour— when he conferred with the Pope Paul VI for more than one hour— President Nixon said, "The possibility (of sending an envoy from the U.S. to the Vatican) has been considered by the State Department and by me, because we have been concerned that we should have the very closest consultation and discussion with the Vatican." A U.S. ARMY helicopter carrying President Richard He explained he had not yet determined whether M. Nixon settles slowly in- this diplomatic move could be achieved "based on to St. Peter's Square at the the present facilities that are available," so the beginning of an historic question of a permanent envoy's being dispatched visit to Pope Paul VI by the to the Vatican City remained open.

Such actions “could Cardinal Francis E.

Z* s. 155-180 Przedstawicielstwo dyplomatyczne Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki przy Watykanie a Pierwsza Poprawka do Konstytucji USA (aspekty historyczne i prawne) Słowa kluczowe: Dyplomacja USA, Watykan, Stolica Apostolska, rozdział kościoła I państwa, Pierwsza Poprawka do Konstytucji USA Pośród zagadnień polityki Stanów Zjednoczonych wywołujących poważną debatę w szerszych kręgach opinii publicznej znalazła się w pew- nym czasie kwestia stosunków dyplomatycznych USA z Watykanem1. * Prof. dr hab. Tadeusz Zieliński jest dziekanem Wydziału Pedagogicznego ChAT. 1 W nomenklaturze amerykańskiej na określenie partnera USA w ramach omawianych stosunków najczęściej używa się nazwy „Watykan” („Vatican”), rzadziej „Stolica Święta” („Holy See”), zupełnie sporadycznie „Stolica Apostolska” („Apostolic See”). Nazwa „Watykan” stosowana jest najczęściej najprawdpodobniej ze względu na fakt, iż jest nazwą geografi czną a nie religijną / teologiczną, jak dwie pozostałe wymienione nazwy, budzące dość silny resentyment ze strony licznych w Stanach Zjednoczonych środowisk nie podzielających przekonań katolicyzmu co do religijnych roszczeń Papieży. W wypowiedziach amerykańskich polityków a nawet przedstawicieli doktryny ma ona najczęściej charakter symboliczny, tzn. odnosi się do obu podmiotów prawa międzynarodowego Kościoła Rzymsko-Katolickiego: Stolicy Apostolskiej i Państwa Watykańskiego (wcześniej Państwa Kościelnego). Wywód niniejszy nie omawia skomplikowanych relacji między tymi podmiotami – ukazane zostały one w łatwo dostępnej literaturze: zob. np. A. Mezglewski, Stolica Apostolska i Państwo Watykańskie jako podmioty prawa międzynarodowego, [w:] Studia z Prawa Wyznaniowego t. 8 (2005), s. 295-303; H.

  • Cenni Storici Sulla Chiesa Negli Stati Uniti La Prima Evangelizzazione Dei Territori Statunitensi
    Cenni storici sulla Chiesa negli Stati Uniti La prima evangelizzazione dei territori statunitensi La storia di emigrazione e colonizzazioni nel nuovo continente, e in particolare nell’America del Nord, è legata anche al radicarsi e al diffondersi delle religioni, processo che in qualche modo ha ispirato e dal quale è stata necessariamente influenzata. Fu nell’era coloniale che il cattolicesimo cominciò a diffondersi nel territorio che oggi chiamiamo Stati Uniti d’America, prima che si costituisse come nazione: arrivò inizialmente con gli esploratori e i colonizzatori spagnoli, soprattutto nell’odierna Florida e nel sudest del Paese (la prima Messa, secondo la storiografia ufficiale, sarebbe stata celebrata nel 1565, a St. Augustine, diventata la prima parrocchia dalla quale si poté diffondere il cattolicesimo nell’area). Ma l’impulso più imponente alla religione cattolica in quelle terre venne dato dalle successive ondate migratorie: in un periodo che va dalla fine del XVIII secolo fino agli inizi del XX, il più rilevante spostamento di popolazione cattolica fu quello diretto dall’Europa verso le Americhe, spingendo sempre più a ovest la frontiera della colonizzazione. La massiccia immigrazione di cattolici scozzesi, irlandesi e tedeschi era documentata già dalla fine del XVIII secolo, ma nella seconda metà del XIX secolo altre popolazioni cattoliche varcarono l’oceano, provenienti dall’Europa orientale e meridionale (polacchi, italiani, portoghesi). In quegli anni, anche dal Vicino Oriente e dagli imperi russo e austro- ungarico giunsero imponenti nuclei di cattolici, per lo più di rito orientale. E in un contesto così vario, questa religione si distinse presto per la sua impronta di tolleranza, soprattutto se paragonata alle prime colonie inglesi e al loro radicalismo protestante.

All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled "An Evil Empire": The Rhetorical Rearmament of Ronald Reagan by JON RICHARD PETERSON has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach, Jr. Associate Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT PETERSON, JON R., Ph.D., June 2010, History "An Evil Empire": The Rhetorical Rearmament of Ronald Reagan (311 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach, Jr. This project examines the origins, drafting, and effects of Ronald Reagan’s Evil Empire speech. My dissertation introduces this important address by exploring Reagan’s political ideology during his pre-presidential years. His ideological polemics coexisted with his pragmatic governing style. I subsequently explain how ending the foreign policy of détente with the Soviet Union led to the rise of the Nuclear Freeze movement, a broad- based, bipartisan, interfaith, international peace group. The dissertation centers on the reaction by peace activists, evangelical Christians, the Kremlin, and the mainstream news media to rhetorical rearmament, Reagan’s Manichean and moralistic characterization of his foreign policy ideology. My project concludes by studying the political phenomenon of “evil empire” over the past quarter century The importance of the study derives from the political mobilization of the White House against this incarnation of the peace movement among religious voters, in the news media, and from the bully pulpit.

The head of the government T of the Holy See is the Pope, who is also the Supreme Pontiff of the Church. The year 2005 witnessed the death of Pope John Paul II of Poland and the election of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany as reigning Pontiff. In July 2005, President George W. Bush nominated L. Francis Rooney, III, of Tulsa, Oklahoma as the United States Ambassador to the Holy See. With a new Pope and a new US Ambassador, are there any implications for the US-Vatican relationship? The government of the Roman Catholic Church is basically a monarchy. In this type of government, the head has significant influence. The question naturally arises: will there be any change in the direction of the Vatican’s diplomatic positions vis-à-vis the United States under Pope Benedict XVI? In my opinion there will be no fundamental change. Diplomatic relations initiated by President Reagan in 1984 have been steady and predictable. This was not always the case. Unsteady Contacts: 1776-1984 The relations between the United States and the Vatican for the first two centuries were unsteady.
