Testigos De Santidad En La Compañía De Jesus 1 TESTIGOS DE SANTIDAD EN LA COMPAÑÍA DE JESUS . Santos, Bienaventurados, Venerables y Siervos de Dios. Prólogo La Compañía de Jesús, en sus 457 años de existencia, ha dado a la Santa Iglesia el testimonio de la santidad de muchos de sus hijos. Ha sido una larga caravana que aún continúa. De ellos, 50 han sido canonizados y 150 beatificados. Todos fueron colocados en los altares y presentados como intercesores ante Dios y modelos de vida cristiana. A 46 Venerables Siervos de Dios, la Iglesia les ha reconocido la heroicidad de sus virtudes. Se han iniciado los Procesos de canonización a 177 Siervos de Dios. Probablemente el número de los Venerables y de los Siervos de Dios jesuitas, señalado por nosotros en este escrito, no sea del todo exacto, porque en nuestras investigaciones bien podría ser que hubiéramos omitido a más de una persona. Nos interesaría, sobremanera, poder reparar cualquier error u omisión, y para ello solicitamos la generosa cooperación de los que se animen a leer este trabajo. Solamente seis jesuitas fueron elevados a los altares antes de la supresión de la Compañía de Jesús en 1773. Todos los demás lo fueron después de la restauración, perteneciendo la gran mayoría a la primera Compañía de Jesús. Para la presentación de las Vidas de los jesuitas canonizados o beatificados, hemos tomado como criterio colocar primero, a los que no hayan sido mártires, teniendo como orden la fecha de la muerte. A continuación, a los que fueron mártires, agrupando a los que hayan pertenecido a una misma nación, e iniciando los grupos conforme a la fecha inicial de los martirios. A los Venerables y Siervos de Dios los hemos agrupado según los países donde ellos fallecieron, colocando primero a los más antiguos. En otros Índices indicaremos sus nacionalidades. Siglas: C = Cardenal; O = Obispo; P = Sacerdote; E = Estudiante jesuita; H = Hermano jesuita. Quedo muy agradecido de los PP.

  • “Infidels” at Home Jesuits and Muslim Slaves in Seventeenth-Century Naples and Spain
    journal of jesuit studies 1 (2014) 192-211 brill.com/jjs “Infidels” at Home Jesuits and Muslim Slaves in Seventeenth-Century Naples and Spain Emanuele Colombo Assistant Professor of Catholic Studies, DePaul University [email protected] Abstract Drawing from published and unpublished Jesuit sources—treatises, handbooks, reports, and letters—this article explores the Jesuit apostolate to Muslim slaves in Naples and in different cities of Spain during the seventeenth century. Under the blan- ket of missionary rhetoric, a Jesuit viewpoint not otherwise available is found in these sources, which highlight their missionary methods and strategies and clarify the spe- cial status of the apostolate to Muslim slaves in the Jesuit mind. While Europe was the setting of missions to Muslim slaves, and the missions were considered a variation of the so-called popular missions, they were often charged with a deeper symbolic value. Because the missionaries’ interlocutors were “infidels,” so different in their culture and in their habits, Jesuits used forms of accommodation extremely similar to those they used in the missions overseas. Converting Muslim slaves in Naples or in Spain was conceived by Jesuits as an alternative and effective way to go on a mission “even among Turks,” as the Jesuit Formula of the Institute stated, despite never leaving European king- doms for Ottoman lands. Located between the missions overseas, where Jesuits con- verted the “infidels” in distant lands, and the missions in Europe, where they attempted to save the souls of baptized people who lacked religious education, were “other Indies,” where Jesuits could encounter, convert, and baptize the “infidels” at home.

  • Antonio Possevino's Tribute to Edmund Campion John Donnelly Marquette University, [email protected]
    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette History Faculty Research and Publications History, Department of 1-1-1988 Antonio Possevino's Tribute to Edmund Campion John Donnelly Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. Archivum Historicum Societatis Iesu. Volume LVII. (1988): 163-169. Publisher Link. © 1986 Institutum Historicum Societatis Iesu. Used with permission. TEXTUS INEDITI ANTONIO POSSEVINO'S TRIBUTE TO EDMUND CAMPION JOHN PATRICK DONNELLY, S.J. - Marquette University, Milwaukee. During June of 1580 Edmund Campion and Robert Persons were smuggled into England and worked with marked success until Campion's capture by the English government on July 17, 1581. He was tried for treason and executed December 1, 1581. The treason charges were widely disbelieved in England and on the Continent; indeed the execution caused such resent­ ment throughout Catholic Europe that the English government felt com­ pelled to justify its action. The most important English apology was The Execution of Justice in England, which first appeared anonymously on 1 December 17, 1583 • Its real author was William Cecil, Lord Burghley. An expanded edition was published in 1584; since the English government wanted to present its case to the larger European world as well as to its own subjects, there were Latin, French, Dutch, and probably Italian and 2 German translations as early as 1584 • The news of Campion's execution created considerable stir in far away Poland. Even before Campion's martyrdom the famous Jesuit writer Peter Skarga had incorporated considerable material on the English martyrs in his popular Lives of the Saints of 1579. In 1583 there appeared at Vilna a Polish translation of Campion's Decem Rationes together with a short life of the author3 .

  • Stellvertretung As Vicarious Suffering in Dietrich Bonhoeffer
    Stellvertretung as Vicarious Suffering in Dietrich Bonhoeffer This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. by Samuel Paul Randall St. Edmund’s College December 2018 Stellvertretung as Vicarious Suffering in Dietrich Bonhoeffer Abstract Stellvertretung represents a consistent and central hermeneutic for Bonhoeffer. This thesis demonstrates that, in contrast to other translations, a more precise interpretation of Bonhoeffer’s use of Stellvertretung would be ‘vicarious suffering’. For Bonhoeffer Stellvertretung as ‘vicarious suffering’ illuminates not only the action of God in Christ for the sins of the world, but also Christian discipleship as participation in Christ’s suffering for others; to be as Christ: Schuldübernahme. In this understanding of Stellvertretung as vicarious suffering Bonhoeffer demonstrates independence from his Protestant (Lutheran) heritage and reflects an interpretation that bears comparison with broader ecumenical understanding. This study of Bonhoeffer’s writings draws attention to Bonhoeffer’s critical affection towards Catholicism and highlights the theological importance of vicarious suffering during a period of renewal in Catholic theology, popular piety and fictional literature. Although Bonhoeffer references fictional literature in his writings, and indicates its importance in ethical and theological discussion, there has been little attempt to analyse or consider its contribution to Bonhoeffer’s theology. This thesis fills this lacuna in its consideration of the reception by Bonhoeffer of the writings of Georges Bernanos, Reinhold Schneider and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Each of these writers features vicarious suffering, or its conceptual equivalent, as an important motif. According to Bonhoeffer Christian discipleship is the action of vicarious suffering (Stellvertretung) and of Verantwortung (responsibility) in love for others and of taking upon oneself the Schuld that burdens the world.

  • Saint Bernardino Realino
    Saint Bernardino Realino SAINT OF THE DAY 02-07-2020 Before deciding for religious life and becoming the patron saint of Lecce in a very singular way, Saint Bernardino Realino (1530-1616) had had an honest and brilliant career as an administrator. He grew up with many interests and sometimes risking the abyss, from which he was saved thanks to his faith. A native of Carpi, near Modena, he was educated in the Christian virtues by his mother and developed a passion for poetry and philology. After falling in love with the pure beauty of a young woman called Chloride, whom he met in church, he devoted himself to law. After obtaining a degree in civil and canon law, Bernardino went from one municipality to another in northern Italy, working as a podestà, praetor, tax lawyer. He was courteous and generous, but earthly things sometimes made him stray. Because of an injustice suffered by his family, he could not hold back his anger and wounded the person responsible on the head with a dress sword. Around the age of thirty, another fact shocked him. He received the news of the death of his beloved Chloride, which was added to the sorrow for the situation of his administrators, afflicted by a serious famine. In despair, he was tempted for a moment by the idea of committing suicide, which he overcame with the help of prayer. On July 3, 1561, while meditating on the world's vanities and divine graces, the woman he had loved honestly in his heart appeared to him and pointed to heaven.
