  • Catholic Identity and Cultural Diversity
    1 “CATHOLIC IDENTITY AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY” Catholic Cultural Diversity Network Convocation Thursday, 6 May 2010, 7:00 PM ‐ Notre Dame, IN Archbishop Pietro Sambi ‐ Apostolic Nuncio to the United States Thank you for your kind invitation to speak with you at this evening’s Convocation introduction on the important themes of Culture and Catholic identity, from the perspective of the Holy See. Each day in the Easter Season, the Church’s liturgy reminds us how the message, the ‘Good News’ of Jesus Christ went from the Apostles’ preaching in Jerusalem, to all regions, and households, and throughout various cultures. The Acts of the Apostles chronicles the Church and her early, marvelous growth. Today, we heard about the evangelizing work of Peter, Paul and Barnabas, and James. My own personal journey in the diplomatic service to the Holy See has taken me to different nations and continents, regions and cultures: serving in the Diplomatic Corps of the Holy See in Cameroon, in Jerusalem, in Cuba, in Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, in Nicaragua, in Belgium and Luxembourg, and in India; then serving as Pro-Nuncio and Nuncio in Burundi, in Indonesia, in Israel, Palestine, and Cyprus, and now as Nuncio to the United States of America and also as Permanent Observer to the Organization of American States. In that journey of 41 years in the Vatican’s Diplomatic Service, I have come to know, and admire, the various cultures of Africa, Asia, the Middle-East, Latin America, Europe, and now North America. From the Church’s history, and from my own history, I feel blessed to speak with you about Culture and Catholic Identity.

I wish to acknowledge the presence of His Beatitude Patriarch Joseph Absi, as well as the many other prelates and dignitaries here this evening. I thank the Right Reverend Philip Raczka, Cathedral Rector and Vicar General, for his hospitality. In a special way, I greet my brother, Bishop Nicholas Samra, and express to him the spiritual closeness, paternal affection, and heartfelt congratulations on this occasion in your life and priestly ministry – the celebration of thirty years of episcopal ministry and fifty years of priestly service! Your Excellency, fifty years ago, you were ordained as a priest and anointed with the oil of gladness, committing yourself wholeheartedly to the service of the People of God, promising to offer sacrifice to God for them. Twenty years later, you received the fullness of Holy Orders, deepening your commitment to pasture Christ’s sheep. You certainly have taken that commitment seriously. Indeed, as priests and bishops, our whole life is an oblation to God and a constant striving to imitate Christ, the Good Shepherd. Pope Francis has said: “The Heart of the Good Shepherd is not only the Heart that shows us mercy, but it is itself mercy.

Mrs. Nevine Simaika Halim Abdalla, presented her credentials to Pope John Paul II. This provided The Holy Father with the opportunity to emphasize that negotiations were the only way out of the conflict in the region. Here are a some extracts from his address: “... As the Holy See never ceases to recall in these troubled times, there can be no lasting peace in international relations unless the desire for dialogue gets the better of the logic of confrontation ... ... I once again remind the International Community of its responsibility to encourage the return to reason and negotiation, the only possible way out of conflicts between human beings, because all peoples have the right to live in serenity and peace ... Religions have an important role to play in achieving the construction of peace. This mission is essential for humanity‘s future ... ... Egypt‘s prestigious al-Azhar University, which I have had the opportunity to visit, fulfils an essential function in the Muslim world and provides an opportunity for interreligious dialogue, especially between Christians and Muslims, to be continued and intensified ... ...

  • Argentine Concordat As an International Agreement Regulating the Law of Patronage
    International Studies. Interdisciplinary Political and Cultural Journal Vol. 25, No. 1/2020, 89–109 https://doi.org/10.18778/1641-4233.25.06 Argentine Concordat as an International Agreement Regulating the Law of Patronage Marta Zuzanna Osuchowska https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9950-7458 University Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński in Warsaw (UKSW) Faculty of Law and Administration e-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the history of relations between the Argentinean government and the Holy See, two ideas are permanently intertwined: signing the Concordat and defending national patronage. The changes that occurred in the 1960s indicated that exercising the right of patronage, based on the principles out- lined in the Constitution, was impossible, and the peaceful establishment of the principles of bilateral relations could only be indicated through an inter- national agreement. The Concordat signed by Argentina in 1966 removed the national patronage, but the changes to the content of the Constitution were introduced only in 1994. The aim of the study is to show the concordat agreement concluded in 1966 by Argentina with the Holy See as an exam- ple of an international agreement. The main focus is the presentation of concordat standards for the institution of patronage. Due to the subject and purpose of the study, the work uses methods typical of social sciences in the legal science discipline. The dogmatic-legal method is the basis for consideration of the Concordat as a source of Argentine law, and as an aux- iliary method, the historical-legal method was used to show the historical background of the presented issue.

  • Bernard Martial & Philippine Duchesne
    BERNARD MARTIAL and PHILIPPINE DUCHESNE: TWO MISSIONARIES to LOUISIANA By Emory C. Webre 6542 Winnebago Street St. Louis, MO 63109 [email protected] Father Bertrand (Bernard) Martial, a priest from Bordeaux, France, served under bishops in four dioceses on two continents and was closely connected with important events in the dioceses of Bordeaux, Bardstown, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Detroit, as well activities in France and Italy. There are at least 83 documents in the files of the Propaganda Fide in Rome that are related to him in some way. I have located close to 250 letters from, to, or about him written during the years 1817 to 1835. He influenced the selection of one bishop in the United States and the rejection of another, and was himself considered for the Sees of New Orleans and Vincennes. He founded schools in Bordeaux, Baton Rouge and New Orleans. He escorted a future saint on her voyage to New Orleans and St. Louis. He was associated with three communities of religious women: the Religious of the Sacred Heart in St. Louis, Missouri, the Ursulines in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Kentucky. 1. FATHER BERNARD MARTIAL Born in Bordeaux, France about 1770, Bertrand Martial studied for the priesthood, first, in France, and then in Italy when the French Revolution forced the closing of Catholic seminaries. A death notice in the Paris journal, l’Ami de la religion et du roi, gave some details of his life before he came to Louisiana. The death of Father Martial, in New Orleans, has stirred fitting remorse in Bordeaux, where he lived for some time, and where he rendered services that will not be forgotten.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Frontier Missionary: Felix DeAndreis, C.M. by an authorized administrator of Via Sapientiae. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 11 PREFACE Cardinal Newman wrote somewhere that we are all links in the great chain ofprovidence. He wrote, further, that we may never know exactly what providence expects of us but we can be sure that we will accomplish it if we are only faithful. Each of us is the beneficiary of the fidelity of those who have gone before us; our hope is that we will be as great a benefit to those who follow us. In these pages you will gain insight into the life ofa man who was faithful, whom many in his own time called a "saint." The life of Reverend Felix De Andreis, C.M., is particularly pertinent to citizens of the Midwest, to Catholics in the many Midwestern dioceses, and to theVincentian Fathers and Brothers, becausefor all oftheseindividuals hewas a part oftheirbeginnings. He, along with manyothers, certainly helped to create who and what we are today. The Archdiocese of St. Louis, in particular, owes him a great debt of gratitude. In reading the letters of De Andreis you will encounter a human being - not unlike ourselves - meeting the challenges to be holy and to be strong in the face ofsome extraordinarily difficult circumstances, not unlike our own.

A Message from Archbishop Blase Cupich Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, On the day my appointment by Pope Francis as the Archbishop of Chicago was announced, Cardinal George noted that transitions in leadership always have the benefit of bringing a fresh set of eyes. I can tell you that my eyes have remained wide open with delight as I have seen firsthand the unique qualities of the lay men and women, priests and religious of this great local Church.
