Tzogopoulos 1052 Budapest Petőfi Sándor utca 11. +36 1 5858 690 Kiadó: Kína-KKE Intézet Nonprofit Kft. [email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: CHen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 The New Greek President The first female President of Greece undertook its duties in a very difficult period for the Greek economy and society, in March 2020. Katerina Sakellaropoulou, the former President of the Council of State, was the personal choice of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to succeed Prokopis Pavlopoulos. Pavlopoulos played a constructive role in the summer of 2015, when Greece’s stay in the Eurozone was jeopardized, but is considered a politician with close ties to SYRIZA by most New Democracy members, even the Kostas Karamanlis’ wing which largely supports him. Mitsotakis nominated a woman to become the President to make a symbolic gesture in line with European guidelines and send a message of unity to Greek citizens. Chinese President Xi Jinping immediately congratulated Sakellaropoulou after her election. The new President of Greece, Katerina Sakellaropoulou was sworn in on 13 March 2020. As in mid-March the government ordered a lockdown to fight against COVID-19, the ceremony was only attended by a small number of people. In particular, instead of 1000 people who would have been able to participate under normal circumstances, 150 people were present in the plenary. Political parties, for example, were represented by the heads of their parliamentary group.

Castillo August, 2017 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of the Catholic Church in defining racial categories and construction of the social order during and after the Spanish conquest of Mexico, then New Spain. The Catholic Church, at both the institutional and local levels, was vital to Spanish colonization and exercised power equal to the colonial state within the Americas. Therefore, its interests, specifically in connection to internal and external “threats,” effected New Spain society considerably. The growth of Protestantism, the Crown’s attempts to suppress Church influence in the colonies, and the power struggle between the secular and regular orders put the Spanish Catholic Church on the defensive. Its traditional roles and influence in Spanish society not only needed protecting, but reinforcing. As per tradition, the Church acted as cultural center once established in New Spain. However, the complex demographic challenged traditional parameters of social inclusion and exclusion which caused clergymen to revisit and refine conceptions of race and gender.

From there the apostles and their successors received the command: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the ages” (Mt. 28:19). By the command of Christ, the Gospel was to be proclaimed to the entire world, embracing all nations. Rising above national, cultural, political, economic, social and all other man-made barriers and restrictions, “the Church of Jesus Christ is neither Latin, Greek, nor Slav, but Catholic; there is not and cannot be any difference between her children, no matter what they be otherwise, whether Latins, Greeks or Slavs, or any other nationality: all of them are equal around the table of the Holy See” (Pope Benedict XIV; see Vatican II, Eastern Catholic Churches, no.
