Humani Generis and the Limits of Theology Cyril Vollert, S J
HUMANI GENERIS AND THE LIMITS OF THEOLOGY CYRIL VOLLERT, S J. St. Mary's College INCE the encyclical Humani Generis treats of "some false opinions S which threaten to undermine the foundations of Catholic doctrine/' its exceptional gravity is apparent at first glance. A second detail to attract attention is the fact that it is addressed to all the bishops of the world, not to the hierarchy of a single country. Some French writers have asserted that France is envisaged. For instance, the Parisian weekly, UObservateur politique, tconomique et litteraire, published in the issue of August 31, 1950, an article entitled, "L'Encyclique contre les nouveautes franchises." And Robert Barrat states confidently: "No one is deluded about 'Humani Generis' in France. It is France and certain currents of French theological thought to which this encyclical refers."1 Readers who are able to keep abreast of the theological writings of the day are aware that such reports are superficial. Theories condemned in the encyclical have appeared not only in France, but in Germany, Belgium, England, Italy, Spain, and elsewhere. Even in the United States, where a pioneering spirit in theological speculation is not very conspicuous, some of the repudiated opinions, for example, those dealing with evolution, polygenism, and the gratuity of the super natural, have found favor. Nor should anyone suppose that only certain members of two great religious orders are called to account. Tendencies reproved in the encyclical have been fostered by philosophers and theologians of various orders and congregations, of the diocesan clergy, and also of the laity.2 The encyclical did not take the Catholic world by surprise. -

Portier, Ph.D. In its analysis of mystical body of Christ theology in the twentieth century, this dissertation identifies three major streams of mystical body theology operative in the early part of the century: the Roman, the German-Romantic, and the French-Social- Liturgical. Delineating these three streams of mystical body theology sheds light on the diversity of scholarly positions concerning the heritage of mystical body theology, on its mid twentieth-century recession, as well as on Pope Pius XII’s 1943 encyclical, Mystici Corporis Christi, which enshrined “mystical body of Christ” in Catholic magisterial teaching. Further, it links the work of Virgil Michel and Louis-Marie Chauvet, two scholars remote from each other on several fronts, in the long, winding French stream. -
The Splintering of Spain
This page intentionally left blank ii ii The Splintering of Spain This book explores the ideas and culture surrounding the cataclysmic civil war that engulfed Spain from 1936 to 1939. It features specially commissioned articles from leading historians in Spain, Britain and the USA which examine the complex interaction of national and local factors, contributing to the shape and course of the war. They argue that the ‘splintering of Spain’ resulted from the myriad cultural clea- vages of society in the 1930s. Thus, this book views the civil war less as a single great conflict between two easily identifiable sets of ideas, social classes or ways of life, than historians have previously done. The Spanish tragedy, at the level of everyday life, was shaped by many tensions, both those that were formally political and those that were to do with people’s perceptions and understanding of the society around them.

Humani Generis
ENCYCLICAL HUMANI GENERIS OF THE HOLY FATHER PIUS XII TO OUR VENERABLE BRETHREN, PATRIARCHS, PRIMATES, ARCHBISHOPS, BISHIOPS, AND OTHER LOCAL ORDINARIES ENJOYING PEACE AND COMMUNION WITH THE HOLY SEE CONCERNING SOME FALSE OPINIONS THREATENING TO UNDERMINE THE FOUNDATIONS OF CATHOLIC DOCTRINE August 12, 1950 Venerable Brethren, Greetings and Apostolic Benediction Disagreement and error among men on moral and religious matters have always been a cause of profound sorrow to all good men, but above all to the true and loyal sons of the Church, especially today, when we see the principles of Christian culture being attacked on all sides. 2. It is not surprising that such discord and error should always have existed outside the fold of Christ. For though, absolutely speaking, human reason by its own natural force and light can arrive at a true and certain knowledge of the one personal God, Who by His providence watches over and governs the world, and also of the natural law, which the Creator has written in our hearts, still there are not a few obstacles to prevent reason from making efficient and fruitful use of its natural ability. The truths that have to do with God and the relations between God and men, completely surpass the sensible order and demand self-surrender and self-abnegation in order to be put into practice and to influence practical life. Now the human intellect, in gaining the knowledge of such truths is hampered both by the activity of the senses and the imagination, and by evil passions arising from original sin. Hence men easily persuade themselves in such matters that what they do not wish to believe is false or at least doubtful. -

Divini Illius Magistri
The Holy See DIVINI ILLIUS MAGISTRI ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XI ON CHRISTIAN EDUCATION TO THE PATRIARCHS, PRIMATES, ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND OTHER ORDINARIES IN PEACE AND COMMUNION WITH THE APOSTOLIC SEE AND TO ALL THE FAITHFUL OF THE CATHOLIC WORLD. Venerable Brethren and Beloved Children, Health and Apostolic Benediction. Representative on earth of that divine Master who while embracing in the immensity of His love all mankind, even unworthy sinners, showed nevertheless a special tenderness and affection for children, and expressed Himself in those singularly touching words: "Suffer the little children to come unto Me,"[1] We also on every occasion have endeavored to show the predilection wholly paternal which We bear towards them, particularly by our assiduous care and timely instructions with reference to the Christian education of youth. 2. And so, in the spirit of the Divine Master, We have directed a helpful word, now of admonition, now of exhortation, now of direction, to youths and to their educators, to fathers and mothers, on various points of Christian education, with that solicitude which becomes the common Father of all the Faithful, with an insistence in season and out of season, demanded by our pastoral office and inculcated by the Apostle: "Be instant in season, out of season; reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine."[2] Such insistence is called for in these our times, when, alas, there is so great and deplorable an absence of clear and sound principles, even regarding problems the most fundamental. 3. -

Comparing an encyclical to other kinds of official Roman Catholic documents is a good way to understand the significance of an encyclical.

Science and Integral Catholicism in Interwar Argentina
Church History Church History and and Religious Culture 99 (2019) 485–503 Religious Culture brill.com/chrc Science and Integral Catholicism in Interwar Argentina Miguel de Asúa Universidad Nacional de San Martín [email protected] Abstract During the interwar period of the twentieth century, the Roman Catholic Church in Argentina experienced a transition from a ‘liberal’ model to a pattern of ‘integral Catholicism’ in which its values and norms were thought as the ultimate foundation of the political, social, and cultural world.This paper examines the views of representative Catholic figures on the relationship between science and religion and contemporary scientific theories such as relativity, evolution, and the nature of life, relating them to the corresponding historical scenario. The absence of correlation between the scien- tific and ideological positions of the actors confirms the prevalent idea of complexity at the time of analysing the relationships between science, religion, and politics. Keywords science and religion – integral Catholicism – history of the church in Argentina – Jacques Maritain – Emiliano Mac Donagh – Gustavo Franceschi 1 Science and Integral Catholicism in Interwar Argentina The 32th International Eucharistic Congress in Buenos Aires (1934) was a turn- ing point in the history of Argentine Catholicism: mass concentrations of at least half a million people and a record of 200,000 male communicants on the night of 11 October signalled a shift in the social and political role of the majority Roman Catholic Church.1 New technology came into play.
