Año: 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.51743/cpe.65 Juan Pablo II a los sacerdotes John Paul II to priests MIGUEL FERNANDO GARCÍA Universidad Eclesiástica San Dámaso RESUMEN: El autor desarrolla el artículo en forma de díptico: en primer lugar, se ocupa de la teología y la espiritualidad sacerdotal de Juan Pablo II, vista a lo largo de su itinerario magisterial característico; en un segundo momento, expone, a modo de síntesis, la pastoral sacerdotal que nos ofrece san Juan Pablo II. Salva la distancia entre la realidad ontoteológica y su desenvolvimiento moral a través de una exhortación apremiante a la santidad de vida en la caridad pastoral. PALABRAS CLAVE: sacerdocio, don, misterio, eucaristía, caridad pastoral ABSTRACT: The author develops this paper in the form of a diptych. Firstly, he deals with the theology and priestly spirituality of John Paul II, seen throughout his char- acteristic magisterial journey. In a second moment, the author exposes, by way of synthesis, the priestly ministry that Saint John Paul II offers us. This bridges the gap between ontotheological reality and its moral development through a compelling exhortation to sanctity of life in pastoral charity.

  • Fr Cantalamessa Gives First Advent Reflection to Pope and Roman Curia
    Fr Cantalamessa gives first Advent reflection to Pope and Roman Curia The Preacher of the Papal Household, Fr Raniero Cantalamessa, gives his first Advent reflection at the Redemptoris Mater Chapel in the Apostolic Palace. Below is the full text of his sermon. P. Raniero Cantalamessa ofmcap BLESSED IS SHE WHO BELIEVED!” Mary in the Annunciation First Advent Sermon 2019 Every year the liturgy leads us to Christmas with three guides: Isaiah, John the Baptist and Mary, the prophet, the precursor, the mother. The first announced the Messiah from afar, the second showed him present in the world, the third bore him in her womb. This Advent I have thought to entrust ourselves entirely to the Mother of Jesus. No one, better than she can prepare us to celebrate the birth of our Redeemer. She didn’t celebrate Advent, she lived it in her flesh. Like every mother bearing a child she knows what it means be waiting for somebody and can help us in approaching Christmas with an expectant faith. We shall contemplate the Mother of God in the three moments in which Scripture presents her at the center of the events: the Annunciation, the Visitation and Christmas. 1. “Behold, / am the handmaid of the Lord” We start with the Annunciation. When Mary went to visit Elizabeth she welcomed Mary with great joy and praised her for her faith saying, “Blessed is she who believed there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken her from the Lord” (Lk 1:45). The wonderful thing that took place in Nazareth after the angel’s greeting was that Mary “believed,” and thus she became the “mother of the Lord.” There is no doubt that the word “believed” refers to Mary’s answer to the angel: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word (Lk 1:38).

  • THE EXEGETICAL ROOTS of TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY MICHAEL SLUSSER Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pa
    Theological Studies 49 (1988) THE EXEGETICAL ROOTS OF TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY MICHAEL SLUSSER Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pa. N RECENT YEARS systematic theologians have been showing increased I interest in studying the doctrine of the Trinity. An integral part of that study should be an exposition of the origins of the doctrine. The question of origins can be posed in an analytical fashion, as Maurice Wiles has done: .. .we seem forced to choose between three possibilities: either (1) we do after all know about the Trinity through a revelation in the form of propositions concerning the inner mysteries of the Godhead; or (2) there is an inherent threefoldness about every act of God's revelation, which requires us to think in trinitarian terms of the nature of God, even though we cannot speak of the different persons of the Trinity being responsible for specific facets of God's revelation; or (3) our Trinity of revelation is an arbitrary analysis of the activity of God, which though of value in Christian thought and devotion is not of essential significance.1 I think that this analytical approach is in important respects secondary to the genetic one. The first Christians spoke about God in the terms which we now try to analyze; surely the reasons why they used those terms are most relevant to a sound analysis. The main words whose usage needs to be fathomed are the Greek words prosöpon, hypostasis, ousia, andphysis.2 Prosöpon is the earliest of these terms to have attained an accepted conventional usage in early Christian speech about God, and therefore the chief determinant of the shape which the complex of terms was to take.

Since as early as 230 A.D., Chrisans referred to Mary as theotokos, which means “God- bearer”. By the fih century, there were some people who quesoned this tle, claiming that Mary was only the mother of Jesus’ human nature. The bishops gathered at the Council of Ephesus (431 A.D.) and the Council of Chalcedon (451 A.D.) taught definively that Christ is fully God and human and that these two natures are united in one person, Jesus Christ. Therefore, Mary could be called “Mother of God” because she gave birth to Jesus, who is fully divine as well as human. PRAY FOR OUR BISHOPS Pope Francis has encouraged the Bishops of the United States to make a silent retreat together as part of the spiritual renewal needed in the face of the abuse crisis.

  • Church Must Take Sin Seriously but Stress God's Mercy
    Church must take sin seriously but stress God’s mercy VATICAN CITY – The Catholic Church must take sin seriously, but it must do so like Jesus did, by emphasizing God’s mercy and trust in the sinner’s ability to change, said the preacher of the papal household. In criticizing the Pharisees, “Jesus does not deny that sin and sinners exist,” said Capuchin Father Raniero Cantalamessa, offering a Lenten reflection March 30 to Pope Benedict XVI and top Vatican officials. But Jesus “was more severe” toward those who “condemned the sinners than toward the sinners themselves,” the preacher said. From the evidence in the Bible, Father Cantalamessa said, “being merciful appears to be an essential aspect of being in ‘the image and likeness of God.” Mercy is the form God’s love takes in relation to sinners, he said. “After we have experienced it, we must demonstrate it to our brothers and sisters, both on the level of the church community as well as on a personal level,” the Capuchin said. Jesus does not trivialize sin, “but finds a way not to alienate sinners, instead attracting them to himself. He does not see only what they are, but what they can become if divine mercy reaches the depths of their misery and desperation,” he said. Jesus “does not wait for them to come to him; often he is the one who goes out looking for them,” the priest said. “Jesus is firm and rigorous regarding principles, but he knows when a principle must give way to the superior principle, which is the mercy of God and the salvation of a person,” he said.

Desde el punto de vista histórico, se menciona la creación de algunas instituciones y organismos que han contribuido al desarrollo de una bioética católica; desde la perspectiva de los temas y contenidos, se propone que el aporte específico de la Iglesia Católica al desarrollo de la bioética comprende cuestiones de método, de epistemología y de fundamentación. En este contexto se mencionan algunos documentos del Magisterio eclesiástico que han contribuido a iluminar y enriquecer la reflexión bioética sobre algunos temas concretos. Central a este aporte de la Iglesia es la comprensión de la persona y su dignidad, especialmente a partir del Concilio Vaticano II, que desarrolla un “personalismo critológico”. Particularmente relevante ha sido, en este mismo sentido, la contribución de Juan Pablo II a través de sus escritos publicados antes y durante su Pontificado. palabras clave: bioética; personalismo; Iglesia Católica; personalismo cristológico.
