  • The Catholic Church in the Czech Lands During the Nazi

Its aim is to demonstrate how the Catholic Church, its hierarchy and its priests acted as relevant patriots who did not hesitate to stand up to the occupying forces and express their rejection of their procedures. Both the domestic Catholic camp and the ties abroad towards the Holy See and its representation will be analysed. There will also be presented the personalities of priests, who became the victims of the Nazi rampage in the Czech lands at the end of the study. The basic method consists of a descriptive analysis that takes into account the comparative approach of the spiritual life before and after the occupation. Furthermore, the analytical-synthetic method will be used, combined with the subsequent interpretation of the findings. An additional method, not always easy to apply, is hermeneutics, i.e., the interpretation of socio-historical phenomena in an effort to reveal the uniqueness of the analysed texts and sources and emphasize their singularity in the cultural and spiritual development of Czech Church history in the first half of the 20th century.

  • Mission: Apostolic Nuncio in Prague Or More Precisely Czech, Perception of the Holy See
    Marek Šmíd Marek In this book, the author gets to the heart of Czechoslovak-Vatican relations, the personalities of the apostolic nuncios, and their further activities.

The richness and diversity of Czech Cover archives has enabled him to understand the | difficult relations between the Vatican and the Czechoslovak state, and the Czechoslovak, Prague in Nuncio Apostolic Mission: or more precisely Czech, perception of the Holy See.

  • Vatican Says Pope Outraged by Sex Abuse in Ireland
    Vatican says pope outraged by sex abuse in Ireland VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI shares “the outrage, betrayal and shame” felt by Irish Catholics over cases of clerical sexual abuse and the way abuse claims were handled by church leaders, and he plans to write a special pastoral letter to the Catholics of Ireland, the Vatican said. The letter “will clearly indicate the initiatives that are to be taken in response to the situation,” said a statement issued by the Vatican Dec. 11. The statement was released after the pope and top Vatican officials spent 90 minutes meeting with Cardinal Sean Brady of Armagh, Northern Ireland, president of the Irish bishops’ conference, and Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin. Cardinal Brady said the pope’s letter, which is expected early in January, will outline several initiatives, including public services of repentance for Irish bishops and priests. “I asked him, in my opening remarks, to teach us, to help us be better shepherds of the people, to lead us on the way of repentance and so, therefore, there will be suggestions about celebrations of lament and repentance involving, first of all, us bishops and priests,” the cardinal told reporters. Calling a papal pastoral letter to one nation’s Catholics “quite a significant document,” Archbishop Martin said it would be the beginning of a whole process aimed at “a very significant reorganization of the church in Ireland.” “The climate in the church,” which allowed abusers to go unpunished, will only change once there is a renewal, a willingness to publicly accept responsibility for one’s actions and greater involvement by laypeople in all areas of church life, the archbishop said.

  • As Complementary Power Strategies Within Corporate Roman Catholicism
    Corporate Catholicism , Houston The ‘Global’ and the ‘International’ as Complementary Power Strategies within Corporate Roman Catholicism Kenneth Houston The putative resurgence of religious belief and its reinvigorated socio-political importance – or at least prominence – has prompted critical reflection on religion, broadly defined, as a new force in politics. This paper examines the ‘global’ and ‘international’ role of Roman Catholicism. Roman Catholicism has manifested itself as an actor on the international stage and as a trans-national and global ‘community’. Frequently the conceptual dividing line between these is ambiguous. Vatican City and the Holy See have both been accorded international status, the former since the conclusion of the Lateran Treaty by Italy’s fascist leader, Benito Mussolini, in 1929, the latter since the mid nineteenth century following the absorption of the Papal States into the newly unified Italian Republic. The Holy See also enjoys a special status position within the United Nations system as a non-member observer state. Following revelations of clerical child abuse the Holy See was put on the defensive in several national contexts in a public controversy that resonated much more widely. This trans-nationally organised religion has mobilised both nationally and internationally to defend its institutional interests. Through an examination of empirical instances the study sidesteps the question of whether religions are ‘global’ or ‘international’ phenomena, and draws attention to the distinct power modalities operative at the level of both international politics and in transnational or global organisation. IntroduIntroductionction In July 2004 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution that concerned the participation of the Holy See, the legal personality of the Roman Catholic Church, in the work of the United Nations (UN A/RES/58/314).
