  • Holy See's Diplomacy Ideological Displacement
    Austral: Brazilian Journal of Strategy & International Relations e-ISSN 2238-6912 | ISSN 2238-6262| v.4, n.7, Jan./Jun. 2015 | p.209-229 FROM THE CENTER TO THE PERIPHERY: HOLY SEE’S DIPLOMACY IDEOLOGICAL DISPLACEMENT AFTER POPE FRANCIS Anna Carletti1 Introduction With the end of the bipolar system, the rise of new international ac- tors, mainly those emerging from the so-called periphery, started a process of rearrangement of power relations in the international arena. After five hun- dred years of Western supremacy, old power centers, such as China, seem to be returning to the global arena, looking for a qualitative rather than a quanti- tative inclusion. This is similar to what happened after the African and Asian decolonization and nowadays it refers to the reform demands that take into account changes that took place since the end of World War II. In this context, Pope Francis’ Pontificate, the first non-european and the first Latin-American pope, had begun. The new head of the most influ- ential religious transnational actor seems to be inaugurating a new stage of the Catholic Church action in the world, characterized by the ideological dis- placement, less Eurocentric and more leaned to the emerging periphery, in accordance with the current international system rearrangement demands. Through an international reading of the first years of his pontificate, asso- ciated to the analysis of the global and regional context – emphasizing the Latin-American conjuncture – that preceded him, this research will look for- ward to highlight the role that the Holy See can play in the current reordering moment, not only of the religious, but also of the political context.

  • The Holy See in the International Theoretical (Or Theological) Marketplace.* James G
    The Church-State(s) Problem: The Holy See in the International Theoretical (or theological) Marketplace.* James G. Cussen Abstract Blink, and one might miss the Holy See on the international plane, although it hides in plain sight. With accredited diplomatic representatives from 180 countries, the Holy See enjoys widespread recognition of its perhaps idiosyncratic sovereignty claims. These claims are the jump-off point for this paper; the tangled legal skein they represent notwithstanding, there is no compelling argument to exclude Holy See from the International System. In parsing the well-rehearsed arguments against Holy See sovereignty (i.e. its capacity to conduct international relations at all) we find that, rather, it is more the case of competing meta-narratives with at least equally questionable sets of assumptions. In the blue corner, the historically contingent reality of the 'Westphalian' secular world order; and in the red corner, the historically subversive Kingdom of God. It is a matter of reclaiming the term 'subversive', of course – it is heavily leaden by the 'is-ought' problem. Students of International Relations [IR] are subjected frequently to an account of the development of International Society which situates the 'secular breakwater' in 1648, at the end of the Thirty Years' War in post-Reformation Germany Religion abided, and did not 'resurge' after September 11th 2001. Religion, in fact, had been, and continued to be instrumentalised by the same state-system that claimed to deprecate religion as inherently destabilising. Colonial contexts were rife with Protestant providentialism married to laissez-faire Capitalism after a Weberian fashion. Catholicism, likewise, was instrumentalised against Communism there and in Europe after 1848.

  • Maria Clara in the Twenty-First Century: the Uneasy Discourse Between the Cult of the Virgin Mary and Filipino Women’S Lived Realities
    RST 36.2 (2017) 139–153 Religious Studies and Theology (print) ISSN 0829-2922 https://doi.org/10.1558/rsth.35155 Religious Studies and Theology (online) ISSN 1747-5414 Maria Clara in the Twenty-first Century: The Uneasy Discourse between the Cult of the Virgin Mary and Filipino Women’s Lived Realities JEANE C. PERACULLO DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY [email protected] ABSTRACT The Virgin Mary looms large as the image of a “good” Filipina or Fili- pino woman in both cultural and religious landscapes in the Philippines. A “good Filipina” imagery points specifically to the weak or passive woman, who is represented by a satirical character named Maria Clara. The Roman Catholic Church reinforces such imagery to highlight the Madonna-Whore dichotomy. However, in the twenty-first century, Filipino women have come to challenge the image of a good woman as weak and passive person. This paper explores the challenges that Filipinas face in their everyday lives, which call for a re-examination of the role of Catholic faith in their lived experiences. Keywords Filipina, rights, religion, gender Introduction A photograph, which appeared in the Philippine Daily Inquirer on July 23, 2016, would become the haunting image of the human cost of the present administration’s “war on drugs.” A grieving woman cradled her slain partner, a rickshaw driver, and a suspected illegal drug peddler, who was killed in execution-style supposedly by vigilante killers. Raffy Lerma, who photographed the haunting scene, named it as “La Pieta,” an obvious reference to The Pieta by Michelangelo. Newly-elected President Rodrigo Duterte, in his first-ever State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 25, 2016 regarded the picture (and the reference to Pieta) as “melo- dramatic.” His precise words: “Then there you are, sprawled, and you are portrayed in a broadsheet like Mother Mary cradling the dead cadaver of Jesus Christ.

    FINANCIAL SECURITY COMMITTEE CoSiFi HOLY SEE VATICAN CITY STATE GENERAL RISK ASSESSMENT ON THE PREVENTION AND COUNTERING OF MONEY LAUNDERING AND THE FINANCING OF TERRORISM December 2018 1 - 24 2 - 24 FOREWORD The General Risk Assessment of the Holy See and the Vatican City State is the result of the Holy See's firm commitment to establishing an effective system to prevent and combat money laundering, the financing of terrorism and the proliferation of means of mass destruction. The document shows how, also considering the uniqueness and geographical configuration of the jurisdiction, the potential risks come mainly from outside and are connected to international or cross-border activities. On the domestic level, a number of specific areas have been identified in which to strengthen safeguards, such as donations, public procurement contracts and non-profit organisations registered in the Vatican City State. The objective is to protect the jurisdiction and to make the Holy See an increasingly credible and effective player in international cooperation, given the challenges facing the international community in a complex and ever-changing world. Msgr. Paolo Borgia President 3 - 24 4 - 24 A. INTRODUCTION Methodology 1. The General Risk Assessment (GRA) on the prevention of Money Laundering (ML) and the Financing of Terrorism (FT) is a process aimed at identifying and analyzing the potential risk sources and factors in connection to ML/FT in the Holy See and Vatican City State based on the methodology provided by the World Bank (WB): “National Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment Tool” (methodology). 2. The GRA process is based on two pillars: (a) Identification and assessment of ML/FT Threats; (b) Identification and assessment of ML/FT vulnerabilities.

Theologians over the centuries have all agreed that it was only fitting that the Blessed Virgin Mary joined her divine Son in both body and soul in her Assumption into Heaven! The Assumption of Mary was declared a dogma of the Catholic Church by Pope Pius XII on November 1, 1950 when he proclaimed, in a document entitled Munificentissimus Deus, “The Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heaven.” AUGUST 6 TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS Our Lord Jesus encountered the Father in a moment of dazzling glory at the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor.
