  • 'Owned' Vatican Guilt for the Church's Role in the Holocaust?
    Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations Volume 4 (2009): Madigan CP 1-18 CONFERENCE PROCEEDING Has the Papacy ‘Owned’ Vatican Guilt for the Church’s Role in the Holocaust? Kevin Madigan Harvard Divinity School Plenary presentation at the Annual Meeting of the Council of Centers on Christian-Jewish Relations November 1, 2009, Florida State University, Boca Raton, Florida Given my reflections in this presentation, it is perhaps appropriate to begin with a confession. What I have written on the subject of the papacy and the Shoah in the past was marked by a confidence and even self-righteousness that I now find embarrassing and even appalling. (Incidentally, this observation about self-righteousness would apply all the more, I am afraid, to those defenders of the wartime pope.) In any case, I will try and smother those unfortunate qualities in my presentation. Let me hasten to underline that, by and large, I do not wish to retract conclusions I have reached, which, in preparation for this presentation, have not essentially changed. But I have come to perceive much more clearly the need for humility in rendering judgment, even harsh judgment, on the Catholic actors, especially the leading Catholic actors of the period. As José Sanchez, with whose conclusions in his book on understanding the controversy surrounding the wartime pope I otherwise largely disagree, has rightly pointed out, “it is easy to second guess after the events.”1 This somewhat uninflected observation means, I take it, that, in the case of the Holy See and the Holocaust, the calculus of whether to speak or to act was reached in the cauldron of a savage world war, wrought in the matrix of competing interests and complicated by uncertainty as to whether acting or speaking would result in relief for or reprisal.

  • Statement by Monseigneur Dominique Mamberti, Secretary for the Holy See’S Relations with States, at the Fourteenth Meeting of the Osce Ministerial Council
    MC.DEL/31/06 4 December 2006 ENGLISH Original: FRENCH STATEMENT BY MONSEIGNEUR DOMINIQUE MAMBERTI, SECRETARY FOR THE HOLY SEE’S RELATIONS WITH STATES, AT THE FOURTEENTH MEETING OF THE OSCE MINISTERIAL COUNCIL Brussels, 4 December 2006 Mr. Chairman, Participating for the first time in the OSCE Ministerial Council as Secretary for the Holy See’s Relations with States, I should like first of all to transmit to this assembly the greetings and best wishes of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. In the more than 30 years that have elapsed since the signing of the Helsinki Final Act, the OSCE’S geopolitical horizon has changed considerably: the Cold War is over, the European institutional architecture has evolved, East-West political dialogue takes place at various negotiating tables, and societies in several participating States are undergoing profound changes and sometimes painful transitions on their way to democratization and integration. However, there are participating States in the OSCE belonging to three continents, that continue to meet and engage in dialogue, while the missions in the field are involved in implementing the various transition processes. Occasions such as this one therefore present a serious opportunity to adapt and strengthen the effectiveness of the Organization, not to modify its basic values and principles but rather to ensure that it retains its meaningfulness at the start of the twenty-first century. Moreover, to have “effective” democracies, there is a need for “effective” multilateralism. As a result, the Holy See strongly hopes that this meeting will strengthen and update the OSCE acquis, refining the instruments at its disposal for achieving its ultimate objective of peace and stability in the Euro-Atlantic region through safe and prosperous societies that promote human dignity and in doing so recognize its fundamental religious dimension.

  • The Holy See, Social Justice, and International Trade Law: Assessing the Social Mission of the Catholic Church in the Gatt-Wto System
    THE HOLY SEE, SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW: ASSESSING THE SOCIAL MISSION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE GATT-WTO SYSTEM By Copyright 2014 Fr. Alphonsus Ihuoma Submitted to the graduate degree program in Law and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D) ________________________________ Professor Raj Bhala (Chairperson) _______________________________ Professor Virginia Harper Ho (Member) ________________________________ Professor Uma Outka (Member) ________________________________ Richard Coll (Member) Date Defended: May 15, 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Fr. Alphonsus Ihuoma certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE HOLY SEE, SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW: ASSESSING THE SOCIAL MISSION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE GATT- WTO SYSTEM by Fr. Alphonsus Ihuoma ________________________________ Professor Raj Bhala (Chairperson) Date approved: May 15, 2014 ii ABSTRACT Man, as a person, is superior to the state, and consequently the good of the person transcends the good of the state. The philosopher Jacques Maritain developed his political philosophy thoroughly informed by his deep Catholic faith. His philosophy places the human person at the center of every action. In developing his political thought, he enumerates two principal tasks of the state as (1) to establish and preserve order, and as such, guarantee justice, and (2) to promote the common good. The state has such duties to the people because it receives its authority from the people. The people possess natural, God-given right of self-government, the exercise of which they voluntarily invest in the state.

    Letter from National Conferences of Catholic Bishops to the Leaders of the G8 Nations June 3, 2013 Hon. David Cameron Hon. Enrico Letta Prime Minister, United Kingdom President of the Council of Ministers, Hon. Stephen Joseph Harper Repubblica Italiana (Italian Republic) Prime Minister, Canada Hon. Shinzō Abe Hon. François Hollande Prime Minister, Japan President, French Republic Hon. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin Hon. Angela Merkel President, Russian Federation Chancellor, Federal Republic of Germany Hon. Barack Obama President, United States of America Dear Leaders of the Group of 8 Nations: On behalf of the Catholic bishops’ conferences in the G8 nations, we urge you to protect poor persons and assist developing countries at the upcoming G8 Summit in the United Kingdom. Pope Francis, in his inaugural homily, committed himself to “open his arms to protect all of God’s people and embrace with tender affection the whole of humanity, especially the poorest, the weakest, the least important….” The G8 nations, as leaders in the world community, should do no less. Your focus on agriculture and nutrition ahead of the G8 Meeting is timely. In a world that has made great strides in improving food production and distribution, far too many of God’s children still go to bed hungry or suffer from a lack of nutrition, a tragedy that has lifelong consequences for health and educational achievement. In particular, there is a need to strengthen assistance to African countries in order to improve local agriculture. The G8’s attention to tax evasion, trade and transparency is equally timely. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches: “Submission to authority and co-responsibility for the common good make it morally obligatory to pay taxes…” (No.
