  • Oblates at Vatican II: an Initial Survey (From Oblatio I [Nov
    Oblates at Vatican II: An Initial Survey (from Oblatio I [Nov. 2012, 3]:335-53) By Harry E. Winter, O.M.I. The first session of the Second Vatican Council began on Oct. 11, 1962 with 33 Oblates listed as “Fathers of the Council,” 5 as periti (experts) and 6 as theologians accompanying individual bishops.1 The number of “Fathers” would change only slightly during the next three sessions, but the number of experts would significantly grow, as each Council Father would change his expert for each session, so more priests could experience the Council. It is my contention that of all the Oblates who participated in Vatican II, one archbishop, two priests, and the superior general significantly influenced the Council. Since much has already been written of the impact of Archbishop Denis Hurley OMI on the Council, I will simply present the main author below. Leo Deschatelets, Oblate superior general, kept extensive journals in French. I will sketch what is currently available in English, and hope that someone with access to his journals, will excavate his contribution. Andre Seumois OMI wrote principally in French, and again, I hope a French-speaking Oblate can make those sources known to the rest of the Oblates. John King OMI served not only as a private theologian during the first session, but became (for the third and fourth sessions) one of the English-speaking team of theologians who met regularly with the media during the Council. I will explore at length his role during and after the Council. It is quite possible that some would place Thomas Cooray OMI, archbishop of Colombo, among the influential, especially because of his elevation to cardinal on Feb.

  • SRI LANKA Case Studies on Jakottu Fisheries in the Madu Ganga Estuary and Kattudel Fishery in the Negombo Lagoon
    TERRITORIAL USE RIGHTS IN FISHERIES (TURFS) IN SRI LANKA Case Studies on Jakottu Fisheries in the Madu Ganga Estuary and Kattudel Fishery in the Negombo Lagoon Anton R. Atapattu Ministry of Fisheries P. 0.Box I 707, Colombo 10 Sri Lanka 1. Introduction Sri Lanka is situated in the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean, Southeast of India, between latitudes 6ON - IOONand longitudes 30°C - 82"E. It is in the Fishing Area 51 - Western Indian Ocean - according to the FA0 classification. The land area is about 65,000 km2 with a coastline of about 1,770 km. The width of the continental shelf rarely extends beyond 40 km and the average is about 25 km. With the declaration of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Sri Lanka in 1977, about 256,400 km2 of sea came under the national jurisdiction. There are, in addition, inland freshwater reservoirs to the extent of about 160,000 ha. and brackish water lagoons estuaries and mangrove swamps of about 120,000 ha. Figure 1 shows the EEZ, Indo-Sri Lanka Maritime Boundary and the Historic Waters (FA0 1984). The present population of Sri Lanka, projected from the 1981 population census, is about 15 million. The population is predominantly rural (about 78% rural and 22% urban). The density of population is 230 per km2 and the annual population growth rate is 1.7%. Due to the religious and cultural background, the majority of Sri Lankans prefer fish to meat. It provides essential animal proteins for the population. In fact 60% of the total animal protein requirements are supplied by fish, which is an important consideration for the development of fisheries.

  • Introduction
    INTROdUCTION 1. In the footstep of Ecclesia in Asia Saint John Paul ii in the paragraph 9 of his post-synodal Exhortation Eccle - sia in Asia gave us a short synthesis of the history of the Church in the conti - nent under the title “the Church in Asia: past and present”. With this hand - book of Asian Church History we intend to offer students and readers a suit - able development of the essential data and intuitions we find in the post-syn - odal document. our purpose is principally academic. Hopefully, it should be a tool for teachers and students, but we do not exclude other possible readers, or consulters for a specific event or chapter of this rich and long history. in fact, as we know from history and experienced when we were there, the Christian presence in some parts of Africa and America is much more recent. instead, Asia is really the cradle of Christianity and the origins of many Asian communities are apostolic. We think especially of Middle East Churches and St. thomas’ Christians (india). Knowing that the majority of Asian students are non-native English speak - ers, we have tried to write our manual in a very simple language in order to facilitate its comprehension and use. Among our limitations we point to the lacking development of Protestant Missions that appear so abundant since the 19 th century, and deserve an ac - curate attention in the present moment of evangelization. instead we pre - sented the different oriental Churches with the ecumenical purpose of spreading their knowledge among Catholic public, and foster increased col - laboration.

Director: John Randall Sachs, S.J. ABSTRACT This dissertation explains how divine grace, that is, God’s self-communication to humanity, is a communitarian reality specifically in its participative, dialogical, and prophetic core as well as its manifestations, characteristics, and consequences. It draws from two main sources: Karl Rahner’s understanding of grace and the pastoral statements and reflections of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conference (FABC) from 1974 to 2010. Religious and cultural pluralism and the abiding poverty in Asian communities are the realities that frame the discussion both of the FABC documents and the main theme of this dissertation. The FABC believes that in order to respond to God’s call for the Asian Church to be “a communion of communities”, the Asian Church—hierarchy, religious, and laity—must reckon with these permanent realities through which God reveals divine self and will.
