Obviously, if and when all these requirements are implemented, a fundamental re-orientation will have been made away from the secularization that has in- creasingly characterized most Catholic higher educa- tion institutions over the last 30 years, and towards a re-Catholicization of our colleges and universities. But the question remains: will these (and other) provisions of the bishops' ECE Application docu- ment actually be implemented by all, or even many, of the 230-odd Catholic higher education institu- tions in the United States? What will happen to the institution that does not implement the document- or to the theologian who declines to seek the manda- tum? Does the bishops' vote signal the beginning of an end to the toleration of the heterodox teaching and aberrant practices on too many Catholic campuses that have obtained up to now? Even while voting in these new university norms and requirements, many key bishops went out of their way to indicate that perhaps not all that much really had been changed by the bishops' vote.

But there were also some ideas in the background which were significantly different even though they ostensibly shared some theoretical similarity. The aim of this study are relations existing between ideas developed in material ethics of values and ethical views espoused by David Hume. The problem under analysis encompasses two issues. The first issue has a reconstructive character as it is designed to extract from the writings of phenomenologists some references or passages relating to Hume’s views. The second issue has a systematic character: the point here is to evaluate tentatively the validity of arguments advanced by individual philosophers. These two issues are not to be dealt with separately. The answer to the second question presupposes that the first question has been fully clarified. The problem of the relation between the views ex- pounded by material ethicists of values and the modern concepts was ∗ Translated by Adam Gailewicz. 1 Max Scheler, Der Formalismus in der Ethik und die materiale Wertethik.

Herein, need emerges for a new, ecclesial, trinitarian, and christological paradigm to identify purposes, ends, and goods of Christian marriage. The dissertation‘s body develops the foundation and framework of this new paradigm: a Common Way in Christ. I find this paradigm by putting marriage in dialogue with an ecclesial practice already the subject of rich trinitarian, christological, ecclesial theological development: consecrated religious life.

In recent years, the music performed as part of the liturgy has been attracting an increasing amount of criticism. Many attempts have been made to intro- duce various substitutes for true musical art into the liturgy, including popular music. The author of the article is critical of relativism in art and asks about the limits of liturgical-musical liberalism, pointing to the dangers of misunderstanding inculturation. Considering the deeply rooted traditions of the Polish Church, he offers specific propos- als for inculturation in liturgical music, in the liturgy and during services or devotions. Keywords: inculturation; liturgy; liturgical music; popular music, Polish Church tradition. Streszczenie. Propozycje inkulturacji w muzyce liturgicznej w Polsce. W ostat- nich latach narasta coraz więcej zastrzeżeń w stosunku do muzyki liturgicznej. Podejmuje się wiele prób wprowadzania do liturgii różnych substytutów prawdziwej sztuki mu- zycznej, m.in. muzyki popularnej. Autor artykułu krytycznie odnosi się do relatywizmu w dziedzinie sztuki, pyta o granice liberalizmu liturgiczno-muzycznego i wskazuje na zagrożenia wynikające z błędnego rozumienia inkulturacji. Mając na względzie silnie zakorzenione kościelne tradycje polskie, wskazuje konkretne propozycje inkulturacji w muzyce liturgicznej, w liturgii oraz podczas nabożeństw. Słowa kluczowe: inkulturacja; liturgia; muzyka liturgiczna; muzyka popularna; polska tradycja kościelna. 116 rev. piotr wiśniewski Today, we are witnessing a wide-scale infiltration of subculture into various areas of human life.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Woman as Mother and Wife in the African Context of the Family in the Light of John Paul II’s Anthropological and Theological Foundation: The Case Reflected within the Bantu and Nilotic Tribes of Kenya A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America For the Degree Doctor of Sacred Theology © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Joseph Okech Adhunga Washington, D. C. 2012 Woman as Mother and Wife in the African Context of the Family in the Light of John Paul II’s Anthropological and Theological Foundation: The Case reflected within the Bantu and Nilotic Tribes of Kenya Joseph Okech Adhunga, S.T.D. Director: Brian V. Johnstone, S.T.D. This study examines the theological and anthropological foundations of the understanding of the dignity and vocation of woman as mother and wife, gifts given by God that expresses the riches of the African concept of family. There are two approaches to inculturation theology in Africa, namely, that which attempts to construct African theology by starting from the biblical ecclesial teachings and finds from them what features of African are relevant to the Christian theological and anthropological values, and the other one takes the African cultural background as the point of departure. The first section examines the cultural concept of woman as a mother and wife in the African context of the family, focusing mainly on the Bantu and Nilotic tribes of Kenya. This presentation examines African creation myths, oral stories, some key concepts, namely life, family, clan and community, marriage and procreation, and considers the understandings of African theologians and bishops relating to the “the Church as Family.” The second section examines the theological anthropology of John Paul II focusing mainly on his Theology of the Body and Mulieris Dignitatem.

    United States Association of The Lamp Consecrated Virgins May 30, 2010 Feast of The Most Holy Trinity Volume 15, Issue 2 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES ASSOCIATION OF CONSECRATED VIRGINS: Having finished 47 Confirmation ceremonies this school year, I am quite reflective about Pente- cost, which is just around the corner as I write these words. Pondering the Upper Room, where the apostles were gathered, it is noteworthy that Mary was with them. She too was filled with the Holy Spirit anew, even as she had been full of grace as the Angel Inside this issue: greeted her with the Spirit’s breath some 33 years earlier. Something Ancient, 2 Acts 1:14 notes that after the Ascension, they all returned to Jerusalem and ―All these with one Something New accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and Council News 3 with his brothers.‖ We also know, from the end of John’s Gospel, that Mary had been given by Jesus to the Beloved as his mother as well, and hence the beginning of Mary’s role as Mother of the Reflections from 4 Church. Consecrated Virgins From all of this, I would like to offer a few reflections about how Mary, precisely as a virgin, Living Out the Grace 6 models for us how to live out our consecration. of our Consecration First of all, the consecration of Mary was sealed from the time of the Incarnation and Gabriel’s 2010 Convocation 7 greeting. However, the specification of her life was always to be attentive to Jesus—hearing the Invitation will of God and doing it.

As a Catholic institution of higher education dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, our patroness, we know that her Son, Jesus Christ, is the divine Teacher who opens our minds and hearts to the fullness of Truth. “He who abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).” He is the source and goal of everything we do, as we educate laity, priests and religious who will go forth boldly to foster a true culture of life and civilization of love. Ave Maria University is committed to building a university that will earn a reputation for excellent teaching, cutting-edge research, and joyful fidelity to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. To develop the first of these “pillars,” we have attracted an extraordinarily gifted and dynamic faculty. By means of our integrated liberal arts core curriculum, these teachers introduce our students to the great tradition of theology, philosophy, history, literature, classical languages and natural sciences, imparting what Pope John Paul II calls “a unified and organic vision of knowledge” (Papal Encyclical, Fides et Ratio). Students learn not just to memorize material, but to understand it deeply, appropriate it, and apply it to their lives.

  • Josef Seifert Philosophizing with Plato About the Reality and Immortality Of
    JJosefosef SSeiferteifert Philosophizing with Plato about the Reality and Immortality of the Human Soul Philosophical arguments for the immortality of the soul which appeal to our reason have been developed throughout the history of philosophy. But while we do have some impressive fragments of the Presocratics on the human soul, a systematic philosophical investigation into the soul and its immortality begins with, and, at least in ancient philosophy, also culminates in, Plato1. I shall try to summarize the most signifi cant Platonic arguments for the immortality of the soul, but not in a merely historical way but in an effort to philosophize with Plato about being itself, searching for what is valid in his arguments and for what is true in their premises and trying to point out some of their weaknesses and strengths. In other words, my ultimate purpose in this paper is to seek the truth about the soul and its immortality. Some of the arguments Plato develops for the immortality of the soul are simultaneously arguments for its existence, and of these some are good arguments for the reality of the soul but not good, or at least very insuffi cient, arguments for its immortality. I shall also consider some of the objections raised against the belief in immortality by Ludwig Feuerbach and others, trying to support the valid Platonic arguments for the immortality of the soul by new reasons put forward against these objections2. Moreover, at the risk that my opinion that there is a philosophia perennis in the sense of the valid contributions of philosophers of all schools and times might be considered ahistorical, I will show that the deepest though less developed reasons for the Platonic teaching on the immortality of the soul are personalistic arguments very much comparable to those presented by Max Scheler, Gabriel Marcel, Dietrich von Hildebrand and others in the last century3.
