  • FR. GIUSEPPE QUADRIO Theology Teacher and Master of Life
    FR. GIUSEPPE QUADRIO Theology Teacher and Master of Life Translation by John Rasor of Remo Bracchi (ed.), Don Giuseppe Quadrio: Docente di Teologia e Maestro di Vita (Rome, LAS 1989), pp. 9-22. These are the proceedings of a 1989 symposium on Fr. Quadrio at the Salesian Pontifical University in Rome. Presentation Fr. Giuseppe Quadrio spent the last fourteen years of his brief and intensive life as a teacher of dogmatic theology in the Theology Department of what was then the Salesian Pontifical Athenaeum of Turin (now Salesian Pontifical University in Rome). He was also chairman of the Department (from 1954 to 1959), up to the time his illness forced his retirement. Teaching theology was the main job given him, and he consecrated his best energies to that, with great seriousness and dedication, bringing to fruition what he had matured in the years of preparation for this task. But more than an assignment or a duty, he always saw a privileged and unique mission. He pushed himself to make an authentic existential synthesis of study, teaching and life; of his study and his life; of theological investigation and contemporary reality; of its problems and challenges. For the students, this was – as numerous testimonies demonstrate – the most important and eloquent lesson of Fr. Quadrio: doing theology with gaze turned with constant attention to those hearing the doctrine, to the students in front of him as well as those far off, but no less important, men of today with their conditionings and culture. He succeeded above all in “doing theology” in the crucible of his own life.

  • The Holy Shroud Was Hidden in Montevergine to Save It from the Bombings
    The Holy Shroud was hidden in Montevergine to save it from the bombings The Holy Shroud was hidden in Montevergine to save it from the bombings. Not everyone knows that the relic stayed in the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Montevergine in Mercogliano, during the Second World War. In September 1939, King Vittorio Emanuele III was convinced that the sacred object placed in the chapel near the Royal Palace of Turin should shelter in a quieter place, that is, far from any aerial bombing of the Anglo-Americans. An operation of extreme secrecy began, the Duce himself knew nothing of this. Some men took care to move the relic to Rome on September 7, then the next day in the Quirinale. Before transferring it, it was well protected, I trace the words present in the "delivery and temporary deposit report of the Holy Shroud": "... And therefore, after having been totally from its usual place, the silver box containing the said Relic and placed in a wooden crate, closed with screws, lined with white cloth stitched in the ingot and surrounded with twine bearing the knots the lead seal with the initials of Count General Giovanni Amico di Meane, Regent of the Administration of the Real Casa in Turin ... ". Crown Prince Umberto I consulted Giovanni Battista Montini (future Pope Paul VI) then substitute of the Secretariat of State of His Holiness for ordinary affairs, so that the Vatican would take care to keep the sacred object. The proposal was rejected, since Vatican City ran the same risk as Turin. At this juncture, the Holy See convened the abbot of Montevergine Ramiro Marcone.

  • Documents from the Vatican Secret Archives Concerning the Pontificate of Benedict XV the Positiones of the Consistorial Congregation
    Le pontificat romain dans l’époque contemporaine The Papacy in the Contemporary Age sous la direction de | edited by Giovanni Vian Documents from the Vatican Secret Archives Concerning the Pontificate of Benedict XV The Positiones of the Consistorial Congregation Alejandro M. Dieguez (Archivio Segreto Vaticano, Città del Vaticano, Italia) Abstract This brief overview sheds light on certain aspects of Benedict XV’s pontificate: the condi- tions of dioceses and the bishops’ pastoral governance; the monitoring of religious practices and the particular needs of specific regions and nations; and the supervision of disciplinary matters regarding preaching and the clergy’s participation in politics or social life (i.e. dancing parties or membership at associations such as the Knights of Columbus). Through a review of primary sources, this contribu- tion demonstrates a growing attention toward the non-European world manifested by the Church’s concern for emigrants as well as through an interest in Protestant proselytism. Furthermore, specific records indicate a gradual process of modernization taking place within the Church: for example, the projection of films in churches or the clergy’s use of modern means of transportation. Summary 1 Introductory Remarks – 1.1 The Activities of the Consistorial Congregation According to the Areas of Its Competence. – 1.2 The Personal Positions and the Scrupulous Search for Suitable Candidates for the Episcopacy. – 1.3 The Positions on the State of the Dioceses and on the Pastoral Governance of the Bishops.

  • The London School of Economics and Political Science FASCISTIZING
    The London School of Economics and Political Science FASCISTIZING TURIN: COMPROMISING WITH TRADITION AND CLASHING WITH OPPOSITION Giovanni Graglia A thesis submitted to the International History Department of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, October 2013 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 91,845 words. [See Regulations for Research Degrees, paragraphs 25.5 or 27.3 on calculating the word count of your thesis] 2 Abstract The thesis focuses on the response of the population of the Piedmontese city of Turin to the rise of Fascism and to the regime’s attempts to fascistize Italian society. Key concepts discussed in this thesis include regionalism, identity, local myths, forms of individual and group loyalty, passive resistance, and social mobilization – all factors often mentioned by historians looking at Turin but that have not yet been subject of a methodical study.

From his earliest years, Mundelein was educated by religious orders. Between school and a devoutly Catholic family, the Church made a distinct impression on the young man. He excelled in his studies at St. Nicholas’ Parochial School and was able to enroll at De La Salle Academy in New York. Upon completion of his degree, he was offered a commission to Annapolis but turned it down in favor of a higher calling. Mundelein’s dedication to study and commitment to the Church attracted the attention of prominent members of the Brooklyn clergy like Bishop McDonnell. With his support, Mundelein earned a chance to study at St. Vincent’s Archabbey outside of Beatty, Pennsylvania. By 1892, he was enrolled at the Urban College of Propaganda in Rome, Italy. After the requisite three years at the North American College, Mundelein was still one year younger than the canonical age for ordination. Bishop McDonnell again intervened and secured a dispensation for Mundelein’s early ordination to the priesthood. The dispensation was only granted because Mundelein had already proved his dedication to the Church through diligent study and active involvement in the college.

  • British Society for the Turin Shroud
    Publications, Recent and Forthcoming Don Giuseppe Ghiberti, Sindone verso il 2000, Casale Monferrato (AL) Italy, Edizione Piemme 1999 [publication address Edizioni Piemme - Spa, 15033 Casale Monferrato (AL), Via del Carmine 5] Softback 287 pages. No photographs. Around the time of the Shroud C14 dating, when he attended a conference at an Oxbridge conference Don Giuseppe Ghiberti was rather appropriately given a room numbered C14. Not long after Cardinal Saldarini of Turin appointed him as his right-hand man to superintend the Shroud expositions of 1998, and on Cardinal Saldarini’s retirement last September Turin's incoming Archbishop, Severino Poletto upheld this appointment for the year 2000 expositions. A member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, and lecturer at the Catholic Universities of Milan and Turin, Don Ghiberti is the man closest to Taurinese clerical deliberations on the Shroud below the Archbishop himself, and his book epitomises this intimate knowledge. My Italian is insufficient to do the fullest justice to any review, but what is clear from Don Ghiberti's chapters is his attention to an aspect of the Shroud too many of us neglect, its deep spiritual importance and profound influence at the pastoral level. While we outsiders are often critical of Turin's reticence on matters of the Shroud, Don Ghiberti lets us know the strong resistance that can come from within Italy, even from within Turin, and not only from protestants but also from certain Catholics, towards any fresh showing of the Shroud at all. He begins the book with looking at how the Shroud may be reconciled with Jesus' death as described in the gospels, a topic on which, as a scriptural scholar, he is paticularly expert.
