The text was received with enthusiasm and seen as a reference point for responsible global coexistence. But others have rejected it as representing a threat to Catholic identity. This article offers a historical-contextual reading. The text deals with violence against human beings and against the common home, and it is intended as a call to religions to show how the future depends on their dialogue, mutual knowledge and fraternal collaboration. Thus, the document integrates the formulations of the Second Vatican Council and the requests made by popes over the last 55 years. The author is an Islamologist and professor of dogmatic theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University. FOCUS 16 ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND JOB CREATION AMONG AFRICAN YOUTH Wilfred Sumani, SJ Young people constitute the highest percentage in African population demographics. The youth are associated with energy, imagination, playfulness and risk-taking. These qualities can be channeled into entrepreneurial ventures so as to create new opportunities for young people in Africa; for example, the creation of startups that can expand to become new companies. In fact, following the logic of “creative destruction,” some of the new companies created by young people can lead to new and more efficient ways of doing business in Africa. The author teaches at Hekima College in Nairobi. ABSTRACTS ARTICLE 25 MIGRATION AND ISLAM Giovanni Sale, SJ Islamic immigration is perceived by some Europeans as representing a threat to national identity. This has clearly favored the advancement of populist parties in almost all EU member countries. From a conceptual point of view “Islamophobia” reduces religion to ethnicity, so that the religious element is used as a factor of identity and discrimination, whereas the reality of the Islamic presence in Europe is ethnically and religiously pluralistic. Islamophobia must be fought by promoting integration and by calling into action both public institutions and civil society. PROFILE 39 LEONARDO DA VINCI, A UNIVERSAL MAN Giancarlo Pani, SJ This year marks the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519). One of the protagonists of the Italian Renaissance and of human history, he is emblematic of the “universal man” who was able to think critically and unify knowledge. He represents analytical, rigorous and methodical study, and explored the intimate relationship between human beings, nature and the cosmos. He was long considered a genius because of his paintings, for example, Lady with an Ermine, the Mona Lisa, the Last Supper, the Virgin of the Rocks, but from the 19th century onward he was re-evaluated as a writer (the Codices) and a scientist. The spheres in which he revealed his genius are almost endless, and the charm and the mysteries of an adventurous life are far from being unraveled. ABSTRACTS PROFILE 51 THE BEATIFICATION OF ENRIQUE ANGELELLI AND COMPANIONS Diego Fares, SJ On Saturday April 27, 2019, in the Argentinean city of La Rioja, Cardinal Angelo Becciu, representing Pope Francis, presided over a Mass at which four Riojani martyrs were beatified: Wenceslao Pedernera, a family man and active member of the rural Catholic movement (1936-76); the French priest Gabriel José Longueville, missionary in La Rioja (1931-76); a young Franciscan friar and ardent preacher, Carlos de Dios Murias (1945-76); and Bishop Enrique Angelelli (1923-76). We can define them as martyrs of the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, as Cardinal Becciu said in the homily. They were martyred in Argentina in the 1970s, where there was no room for a commitment to social justice that sought encounter and dialogue between the parties. ARTICLE 66 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE HUMAN PERSON CHINESE AND WESTERN PERSPECTIVES Antonio Spadaro, SJ - Thomas Banchoff The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in fields including communications, transport, robotics, medicine, economics, and law raises new questions about the concept we have of ourselves as persons and our actions and responsibilities according to philosophical, religious, and secular traditions. These were the issues addressed during a seminar sponsored by the China Forum for Civilizational Dialogue – an institution created through the joint commitment of La Civiltà Cattolica and Georgetown University – and the Pontifical Council for Culture, held at Santa Clara University (California), April 3-5, 2019. The meeting brought together scholars from China, the United States and Europe to examine how the great changes underway are posing challenges to Christian and Confucian traditions, as well as to other religious and secular traditions. ABSTRACTS ARTS & CULTURE 78 SVETLANA ALEXIEVICH IN SEARCH OF HUMANITY Marc Rastoin, SJ Svetlana Alexievich, Nobel Prize winner for Literature in 2015, is an original writer. Journalist and historian, she has composed her books from hundreds of encounters with ordinary, often anonymous, people. It is through the selection and organization of their testimonies that she conveys her sense of empathy and her humanistic vision. Thus she allows us to enter in a privileged way into what has been called “the Russian soul” and through an incarnation in the heart of Russian destiny in a terrible century, she leads to the universal and opens our horizons. PROFILE 88 THE SACRIFICE OF DON GIUSEPPE DIANA Francesco Occhetta, SJ It has been 25 years since the Casalesi clan killed Don Giuseppe Diana. The consequences of that sacrifice continue to be felt in the Campania region and throughout Italy. Don Giuseppe was a cultured, courageous and humble priest. A love for the truth and giving a voice to the oppressed were his priorities, together with a concern to combat Mafia culture, even at the cost of his own life. His witness to the Gospel has given many people the strength to change their lives and the culture of their land.

Among them are the final declarations of the four seminars of the Catholic- Muslim Forum.3 This time, in contrast, delegations were not the signatories, but rather the Pontiff himself and an Islamic leader.

  • A PARALLEL CONTAGION Is Mafia Entrepreneurship Exploiting the Pandemic?
    A PARALLEL CONTAGION Is mafia entrepreneurship exploiting the pandemic? n the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which at the time of writing had claimed the lives of almost 120 000 people worldwide, there is increasing concern about mafia activity both during the outbreak and in its Iaftermath. The risk is greatest in Italy, the country that has suffered one of the highest numbers of COVID-19- related deaths, where the pandemic is having a significant impact not only on public health but also on the country’s social fabric and economy. With thousands of establishments put out of business in the past month – including bars, restaurants and shops – business owners and workers alike have been deeply affected by the lockdown. To compound the suffering, the estimated 3.3 million workers engaged in the country’s vast informal economy – which has an estimated value of up to €211 billion – are effectively excluded from government financial support. Italy’s mafia groups have, in response, sought to consolidate their social support by distributing food for free in the community. Concerned with this development, the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) has had the privilege of bringing together four leading figures in Italy’s fight against the mafia for a virtual roundtable to discuss how the mafia is repositioning itself during the pandemic, what the implications are and how the Italian government is responding.1 WE FEATURE INTERVIEWS WITH: • Franco Gabrielli, Italian Chief of Police and Director General of Public Security • Nicola Gratteri, Public Prosecutor of Catanzaro, Calabria • Federico Cafiero de Raho, Italian National Anti-Mafia and Counterterrorism Public Prosecutor • Nicola Morra, Chairman of the Parliamentary Anti-Mafia Commission The interviews were led by Sergio Nazzaro, a journalist, writer and adviser to the Parliamentary Anti-Mafia Commission.

  • L' Addio a Un Grande Matematico
    CAPITOLO 1 L' ADDIO A UN GRANDE MATEMATICO Si riportano i discorsi pronunciati il 27 ottobre 1996 nel cortile della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, in occasione del commiato accademico. Nello stesso giorno, presso la Chiesa di S. Frediano (Pisa) si `e tenuto il fu- nerale, officiato dal teologo Severino Dianich; il giorno dopo presso la Basilica di S. Croce (Lecce) il funerale `e stato officiato dall' Arcivescovo di Lecce, Cosmo Francesco Ruppi. 1.1 DISCORSO DI L. MODICA Intervento di Luciano Modica, allievo di De Giorgi e Rettore dell' Universita` di Pisa. Confesso che quando Franco Bassani e Luigi Radicati mi hanno chiesto di prendere la parola oggi durante questo triste e solenne commiato acca- demico da Ennio De Giorgi, la mia prima reazione `e stata quella di tirarmi indietro, temendo che l' empito della commozione e dei ricordi dell' allie- vo sopraffacessero la partecipazione, certo commossa, ma necessariamente composta, di chi qui `e chiamato da Rettore a rappresentare l' Ateneo pisa- no e la sua comunita` di studenti e docenti. Se poi ho accettato, non `e stato perch´e, sono sicuro di superare questo timore, ma perch´e spero che tutti voi familiari, allievi, amici di Ennio, saprete comprendere e scusare l' emotivita` da cui forse non riusciro` ad evitare che sia pervaso il tono delle mie parole. Perch´e la vostra presenza in questo cortile, le cui soavi linee architettoniche tanto Ennio ha amato e che rimangono per tanti dei presenti indissolubil- mente legate alla loro giovinezza, non ha nulla del dovere accademico, se 2 L' ADDIO A UN GRANDE MATEMATICO non i suoi aspetti spirituali piu` alti, mentre invece vuole manifestare la ri- conoscenza e l' affetto tutti umani verso una persona accanto a cui abbiamo avuto il privilegio di trascorrere un periodo piu` o meno lungo, ma sempre indimenticabile, della nostra vita.

  • 'A New Imagination of the Possible': Seven Images from Francis for Post
    ‘A New Imagination of the Possible’: Seven Images from Francis for post-Covid-19 Add to Favorites Antonio Spadaro, SJ / Church Life / 14 July 2020 The first global pandemic of the digital age arrived suddenly. The world was stopped in its tracks by an unnatural suspension of activity that interrupted business and pleasure. “For weeks now it has been evening. Thick darkness has gathered over our squares, our streets and our cities; it has taken over our lives, filling everything with a deafening silence and a distressing void that stops everything as it passes by. We feel it in the air, we notice in people’s gestures, their glances give them away. We find ourselves afraid and lost.” These are the words Pope Francis used to portray the unprecedented situation. He pronounced them on March 27 before a completely empty Saint Peter’s Square, during an evening of Eucharistic adoration and an Urbi et Orbi blessing that was accompanied only by the sound of church bells mixed with ambulance sirens: the sacred and the pain. The pope has also stated that this crisis period caused by the Covid-19 pandemic is “ a propitious time to find the courage for a new imagination of the possible, with the realism that only the Gospel can offer us.”[1] The thick darkness, then, allows us to find the courage to imagine. How was it possible to send out such a message in a moment of depression and fear? We are accustomed to the probable, to what our minds suppose should happen, statistically speaking.

  • A Conversion … in the Language We Use”1
    MELITA THEOLOGICA Paul Pace Journal of the Faculty of Theology Nadia Delicata University of Malta 65/1 (2015): 75–96 “A Conversion … in the Language We Use”1 Introduction ope Francis’ challenge to seek and find an adequate pastoral response to Pnew family situations needs to be taken up boldly. There is no doubt that an important way of doing this is to reflect on the way we, as Church, consider family issues ad intra, but we also need to look at how we seek to communicate truths about the family with and to the world. Is the “Gospel of the Family” offering hope and joy to those in the fold who are struggling with complex family situations? Is it encouraging the conversion of those often deemed to be on the “margins” of the Church? Is our message about family life persuasive – in particular, in our case, in a strongly secularist European context? Reflection not just about the “message” but also about the way it is communicated is a key challenge for theologians, always called to read the signs of the times and to interpret the Gospel afresh. It is pivotal for ministers and church leaders called to guide the faithful along the steps of their pilgrim journey. It is also necessary for the Church’s task of evangelization in a post-Christian continent in particular, and in the “global village” at large. The challenge is that of finding a new language that speaks to the various audiences to whom we, as Church, are sent to share and proclaim the Gospel.
