Civil religion is a necessary unifying force in a religiously plural society such as the United States, but it can also usurp the place of Christianity in the believer’s life. This is always a danger for Christianity which can only be the “good news” if it is inculturated by drawing upon a society’s own symbols. But it must also transcend the culture if it is to speak a prophetic word to it

The purpose of this thesis is to better understand American colonial Catholicism through a comparative study of it with Catholicism in colonial Canada, both before and after the British defeat of the French in 1759, in the period of the American Revolution. Despite a shared faith, ecclesiastical leaders in Canada were wary of the revolutionary spirit and movement in the American colonies, participated in by American Catholics, and urged loyalty to the British crown. The central question of the study is as follows: why did the two groups, American Catholics (the Maryland Tradition) and Canadian Catholics (the Quebec Tradition), react so differently to British colonial rule in the mid eighteenth-century? Developing an understanding of the religious identities of American and Canadian Catholics and their interaction during the period will help shed light on their different approaches to political ideals of the Enlightenment and their Catholic faith

Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines the extent the means and the degree to which the American and the Vatican's common cultural ideology was expressed in the film industry of post-war Italy (1945-1960). Through a comparative approach of current theories developed on ideology and an analysis of official documents from the Vatican and the United States Department of State, the thesis investigates the decisive role that American production companies played in the development of the Italian film industry and their links to the Vatican. This analysis evaluates how the Italian production and distribution industries satisfied the American political and economic interests. American political and cultural ideology of the post-1945 era, is compared with the Roman Catholic ideology in order to assess how close their cultural propaganda was. This is followed by studies of the roles played by key individuals, such as Giulio Andreotti and institutions such as ANICA and A.G.I.S. involved in formulating the policies and regulations that affected the production and distribution of American and Italian films in the post-1945 era, as well as the involvement of the Roman Catholic Church in this process. The case studies, which make up the remaining part of the dissertation, illustrate the relationship with the theoretical issues raised in its first part and their ramifications in the relationship between the Catholics and Italian and America cinema. The operation of the Centro Cattolico Cinematografico combined with box-office returns allows for the creation of a new analytical technique to be applied, one that has not been utilized in previous studies of Neorealist films and Italian popular cinema. It makes it possible to highlight the cross-currents that existed across different cinematic genres and styles of those American and Italian post-war movies, which were under the Catholic Church's sphere of activity.

Full textAbstract:
While Thwaites' Jesuit Relations have been extensively used by historians interested in the interactions between Native Americans and the French Jesuit- missionaries, they have not been used to examine the Jesuits' descriptions of the North American natural world. These natural world descriptions are examined to see what influence factors contributed to the form of their accounts. Using two recent journal articles five factors - value, religion, society, personal experience and education - were selected to provide the structure of this study and to understand the impact of these factors upon the Jesuit natural world descriptions. Environmental history works have been consulted to provide information of the Jesuit mentality formed by these factors. Two factors, value and personal experience, provide the greatest influence, with education and society providing a lesser influence. Surprisingly, the influence of religion does not often explicitly appear in the Jesuit accounts.Department of History

Full textAbstract:
In 1968, bishops representing all parts of the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America met in their Second General Conference to debate the "transformation of Latin America in the light of the Council". Among the diverse political influences affecting their conclusions, the demands for radical social change, coming mostly from a group of younger theologians and clergy, were significant. Those demands, soon embodied in what became known as "liberation theology", were based on the argument that there was a biblical and theological mandate for revolutionary transformation of society, to be achieved primarily by the elimination of capitalism, in favour of some type of purified socialism. Most leaders of the Church in Latin America, and the Vatican, found the most extreme of the liberation proposals to be unacceptable, both in relation to basic concepts of the role of the Church in social mission and in relation to the partisan political commitment proposed in Latin America. This thesis examines the ensuing conflict over concepts of social mission during the period 1968-1988, a particularly turbulent one for the Church, with a view to assessing the extent to which the liberation case, theologically and politically, can be accommodated within the social teaching of the Church. It concludes that, while the original political thrust of the movement in the 1970's remains unacceptable, the liberation theologians have made an important contribution to processes of democratization and social change, for example in the base communities, in the role of the laity and in the development of a feminist liberation movement in the Church.

Full textAbstract:
This study traces the intellectual and political itinerary of the review La Relève, an influential cultural journal in 1930s and ‘40s Quebec, in order to explore broader trends within francophone Catholicism in the middle decades of the twentieth century. La Relève enjoyed a unique role as a propagator of French Catholic thought in Quebec due to its close ties with the prominent French Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain. In the early ‘30s, members of the Relève group espoused a militant Catholicism with conservative-minded nationalist sympathies. The group’s encounter with Maritain in October 1934, however, moved La Relève towards a more communitarian Catholicism which was open to social and religious pluralism. During the later ‘30s, the Relèvistes would display a new interest in democratic forms of politics, reflecting the larger ‘democratic turn’ evident amongst many francophone Catholic intellectuals. In examining this shift, this study argues that the progressive Catholicism embraced by La Relève remained strongly rooted in longstanding Catholic social teachings and mentalities, thereby shedding light upon the political trajectory of the larger French Catholic Revival during this period. The emergence of a ‘Left’ Catholicism in France and Quebec was the result of a gradual and often contradictory process in which new attempts to engage with pluralism, democracy and human rights were heavily influenced by the traditionally anti-liberal and anti-individualistic perspectives of Catholic social and political thought. This study also examines the social and cultural environment of Catholic intellectual engagement in Quebec during this period, focusing upon the role played by friendship in defining the experiences of the Relève circle during the 1930s and ‘40s. Initially the product of a close-knit and often cliquish group of former schoolmates, La Relève provided a forum for masculine solidarity and shared intellectual and religious pursuits. The Relèvistes' conception of friendship expanded over the course of the decade, reflecting their exposure to the ideas of the French Catholic intelligentsia, for whom the idea of friendship signalled a wider community bound together by common religious, social and political goals. During the war years, the Relève group came to play a new role within the larger francophone Catholic intellectual community, founding a publishing company which printed numerous anti-fascist Catholic authors. In the postwar period, however, contact with the European intellectual milieu diminished, as the review closed in 1948 and the Relèvistes embraced new trends in Catholic thought which ultimately distanced them from Maritain. However, intellectual engagement with French Catholic thought would continue on in Quebec through the review Cité libre, which would play an important role in shaping politics and society in Quebec and Canada during the later twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
Catholic Action was an international movement that encouraged active promotion of the Catholic faith by ordinary believers. While the idea gained force at a local level in Italy in the early twentieth century, Pope Pius XI gave the philosophy official Church approval in 1931. Catholic Action served as a major intellectual and religious force among American Catholics from the Great Depression until the transformations in Catholicism caused by the Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965. The program encouraged American Catholics both to promote the practice of the faith among fellow Church members and to express Catholic teachings in the public realm in order to influence political and economic policy.
Because the Church's social teaching articulated strong reservations regarding free-market capitalism, Catholic Action proved compelling to progressives and leftists among the faithful. American Catholic leftists during this era continued a long tradition of social justice activism among Catholic immigrant workers and their descendants. Yet Catholic political mobilization could also serve conservative ends, as when believers gathered in rallies against Hollywood movies or communism. Regardless of whether they engaged in progressive or conservative activism, however, Catholics' organized efforts in the mid-twentieth century fortified their already strong sense of religious identity.
This thesis examines two Catholic public figures in Portland, Oregon during the era of Catholic Action: Hall S. Lusk, a lawyer who held many public offices including that of Oregon Supreme Court Justice, and Francis J. Murnane, a leader in the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union. Biographies of the two men demonstrate that the two served as important spokesmen for Catholic principles in mostly non-Catholic Portland. While Lusk viewed Catholic Action as an opportunity to strengthen American Catholics' devotion to the nation, Murnane's version authorized radical dissent against the nation's social and economic structure. An analytical chapter examines how the same Catholic Action philosophy drove the two men in different directions politically but imbued each with a strong sense of Catholic identity. The Conclusion discusses the continued relevance of the study of the Catholic Action period by pointing to the surprising durability of Catholic cultural cohesion throughout American history and to the powerful force that religious faith possesses to inspire activists on both the left and the right.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the activity of the Jesuits in Colombia during the nineteenth century; it demonstrates how their return to the country in 1844 became a highly controversial political issue until 1884, when the national government authorized their permanent residence. The Jesuits were established in the country from 1844 to 1850, and then from 1858 to 1861. These two short sojourns generated significant debate between the Conservative and Liberal parties. The first return of the Jesuits coincided with the formation of these two parties and the debate over the separation of Church and State. It was after the Guerra de los Supremos, with the defeat of the Liberal Party and victory for the Conservative Party, that the latter passed a law on mission schools that allowed the return of the Society after its exile during colonial times. The Liberals considered the law of April 1842 to be a tactic used by the Conservatives to empower their political project, and when the Jesuits arrived in the country, the Liberal Party started a campaign against them in Congress and through the press. As the invitation for their return to New Granada had been issued by the Conservative government, Liberals considered them to be allies of the Conservatives and deserving of their political antipathy. The decrees issued regarding the return of the Jesuits clearly stated that they were to be assigned to Colegios de Misiones and Casas de Escala (Rest Residences) in mission territories. The Superior General of the order in Rome and the ecclesiastical authorities in Colombia interpreted the law as justifying the work of the Jesuits in establishing missions among the indigenous people and also in education in general. Eladio Urisarri, the official in Rome in charge of arranging the return of the Jesuits, supported this interpretation, but the latent ambiguity was a continual issue. The thesis analyses these episodes within the context of the republic’s politics and the state of the Colombian Church at the time, and examines the Jesuits’s experiences in Bogotá and the other dioceses where they were present.

Resumo: A presente pesquisa buscou apresentar as diferentes representações da salvação indígena, a partir da análise do sacramento da penitência em diferentes momentos da chamada conquista espiritual da América espanhola. O discurso utópico europeu, nos anos iniciais da evangelização, em que se teve a certeza da conversão dos indígenas ao catolicismo, é comparado à narrativa produzida na segunda metade do século XVI e início do XVII em que a descrença sobre o sucesso da empresa missionária é evidente
Abstract: : The following research attempted to present the different representations of indian salvation from the analysis of the sacrament of penitence in different moments of what is known as the spiritual conquest of Spanish America. This work compares the European utopian discourse that believed in the complete conversion of the indigenous population to Catholicism, particularly in the initial years of the evangelizing, to the narrative produced in the second half of the 16th and beginning of the 17th century where we can clearly see a disbelief in the success of the missionary campaign

Resumo: A presente tese da área de História Cultural tem como objetivo compreender a estrutura das relações de saber e poder presentes no discurso da teologia da libertação surgida na América Latina nos anos 1960 e consolidada nos anos 1970. Trata-se de uma análise das estratégias discursivas que primeiramente envolveu a construção da identidade da teologia da libertação por uma literatura militante a partir de pares conceituais assimétricos, de representações culturais da América Latina e de sua história que legitimavam a própria teologia da libertação como uma alternativa político-pastoral viável para o catolicismo latino-americano e suas instâncias institucionais. Para tanto, se analisa os axiomas discursivos centrais da teologia da libertação construídos pelos teólogos que constituíam uma elite intelectual-religiosa transcontinental bem como dos modos de difusão destas representações, dentre as quais se destacavam as que visavam recriar e fortalecer a idéia da América Latina como uma grande comunidade homogênea, com uma história específica, com seus heróis continentais, mito de fundação e narrativa histórica própria. Entretanto, por se tratar de um discurso produzido por intelectuais religiosos com um projeto político de poder essencialmente católico, a questão da religiosidade cristã e mais especificamente católica apareceu como fator diferenciador dessa narrativa que redefiniu a América Latina como um continente crente e oprimido, num esforço por preservar a tese de uma catolicidade cultural inerente à América Latina, atribuindo-lhe, desta forma, um sentido religioso
Abstract: This thesis of the Cultural History area aims to understand the structure of knowledge and power relations present in the discourse of liberation theology originated in Latin America in 1960 and consolidated in the 1970s. It is the analysis of the discursive strategies that firstly involved the construction of the liberation theology identity through a militant literature from conceptual asymmetric pairs, cultural representations of Latin America and its own history that legitimized the liberation theology as a political-pastoral alternative viable for the Latin American Catholicism and its institutional instances. To this end, we analyze the central discursive axioms of the liberation theology, constructed by theologians that formed a transcontinental intellectual-religious elite and the mode of dissemination of these representations, among which, stood out the ones that aimed to recreate and fortify the idea of Latin America as a great homogeneous community, with a particular history, its continental heroes, foundation myth and own historical narrative. However, because it is a discourse produced by religious intellectuals as a political project of power mainly Catholic, the question of religion and more specifically Catholic Christian appeared as a differentiating factor of this narrative that redefined Latin America as an oppressed and believer continent, in a effort to preserve the thesis of a cultural Catholicism inherent to Latin America, giving it thus a religious sense

Full textAbstract:
Chile allowed therapeutic abortion (cases in which the mother’s life was in danger) from 1931 until 1989, the last year of the Pinochet military dictatorship. After Pinochet stepped down, Chile underwent a democratic transition in 1990 that was heavily reliant on a moral fundamentalist mentality, primarily influenced by the Catholic Church and conservative political parties. It has been widely argued that after the democratic transition, the previously strong and united women’s movement lost much of its visibility and cohesiveness due to its progressive fragmentation. This thesis holds that the women’s movement in Chile is not dead, but instead there are numerous small movements that apply different methods in an attempt to change abortion legislation in Chile. Through the dissemination of secondary research and first-person interviews conducted over a period of six months in Chile, the results show that Chilean third-wave feminists have re-shaped the women’s movement in an effort to introduce innovative ideas and tactics to advance abortion rights. Nonetheless, these new voices have also created tensions between new and old feminists further dividing the movement and limiting their ability to effect real change in regards to the abortion debate in Chile.

L’Església catòlica baixmedieval, va aplicar la reforma que havia de regular la moral dels fidels centrant el seu control en les qüestions relatives a la moral sexual (segle XIV) a la diòcesi de Barcelona.

Sosté que, en posar en marxa aquests mecanismes de control, l’Església partia d’una posició de desconfiança, -o de temor-, envers la dona, que portà a un control ferri de la sexualitat dels feligresos en general i dels clergues en especial.
Els esforços de reforma dels costums morals van tenir èxit divers, que van abocar en una conseqüència, potser no conscientment volguda, però real: la definició d’una imatge de la dona perillosa, la bruixa, que calia combatre.Medieval Catholic Church attempted to reform the moral of its members by focusing on aspects related to sexual morality in the 14th C in Barcelona. This thesis explains the mechanisms of such control and compiles the information that pastoral visits and Episcopal trials provide about the attempts to regulate sexual relationship behaviors and conducts, such as: adultery, incest, prostitution and specially Clergy’s concubinage. This thesis supports the statement that when these mechanisms for control were activated by the Catholic Church, they stemmed from distrust –or suspicion- towards women. Such position led to a fierce control of sexual behavior for all Catholic Church members and particularly the Clergy. The efforts made to reform moral behavior had different effects on issues addressed. However, the real consequence –which might not have been deliberate- was the image definition of a dangerous woman, and fighting the Witch.

O tema da religião como instrumento de conscientização ou alienação política, marcou a história da Igreja Católica no Brasil, sendo estudado por sociólogos e historiadores.

De um discurso teológico, nos anos 60 e 70, forte e profético, sobre a necessidade de se fazer uma revolução com caráter socialista, passa-se a um discurso que engloba vários outros temas à luta de classes e política: questões de gênero, ecológicas e espirituais, étnicas, etc. A partir das experiências concretas da CEB São João Batista, que vivenciou o período crítico de mudanças, traça-se o processo de continuidades e/ou rupturas ocorridas na Teologia da Libertação dentro da Igreja paulistana.This work is a historical study to the church\'s base communities (CEB) Saint John Baptist of the quarter of Vila Rica, São Paulo, in period 1980-2000.

This fact makes possible the search of a new to look at a specific moment of this process; the transition of the end of the decade of 70, years 80 and 90 - known as the \"crisis of paradigms\" of the Theology of the Liberation (TL or TdL). Starting as a theological speech, in years 60 and 70, predictive strong and, on the necessity of making a revolution with socialist character, it transferred to a speech that comprises several other subjects to the class struggle and politics. They become questions of sort, ecological and spiritual, ethnic, orders, kind etc. From the concrete experiences of the CEB Saint John Baptist, which lived deeply the critical period of changes, inside the occurred process of continuities and/or ruptures in the Theology of the Liberation of São Paulo town Church.

Resumo: Os santos são figuras presentes no universo católico com funções muito específicas: são personagens de religiosidade exemplar, que devem servir de norte para as práticas religiosas dos fiéis e trabalhar como intercessores entre eles e Deus. Eles estão presentes desde os primórdios da Igreja, já no século IV, e sobrevivem a todas as mudanças dogmáticas, doutrinais e teológicas configuradas pela instituição. No entanto, a permanência do santo não subentende a permanência dos discursos de santidade: este é orgânico e adapta-se às necessidades das comunidades em que estavam presentes, assim como aos momentos distintos vividos pela instituição. Suas histórias, constituídas pelos discursos de santidade, são relatadas em textos que são configurativos de um gênero literário próprio, chamado hagiografia. No monumento hagiográfico, a trajetória de vida sagrada de um personagem considerado exemplo de virtude é narrada com três objetivos principais: servir de distração e diversão para os fiéis, como guias de vida católica virtuosa e como textos definidores da moral que deveria permear a piedade e as práticas sociais de uma comunidade em dado período - ou seja, servir de instrumento de manutenção de uma dada ordem social. A hagiografia de Rosa de Santa Maria, primeira santa a ser canonizada na América no século XVII, atendia a esses objetivos, e ia além: o modelo de santidade ao qual ela pertencia seria utilizado como instrumento de conversão e manutenção da religiosidade católica que estava sendo transplantada para as novas colônias espanholas. A figura de Rosa, posteriormente, seria utilizada como baluarte do movimento identitário criollista e se tornaria um guia de espiritualidade para as Américas. O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar com profundidade a obra hagiográfica de Rosa, escrita pelo dominicano Leonard Hansen na década de 1660 para o processo de canonização da santa americana, nascida em Lima, no vice-reino do Peru. Busca-se compreender quais são os discursos de santidade presentes na construção da personagem santificada, assim como os modelos de espiritualidade que ela representa e o pioneirismo do texto como fundador de um novo modelo de piedade específico para a realidade americana dos séculos XVI-XVII. Nossa conclusão final é que a narrativa da vida da santa limenha apresenta todas as características da hagiografia europeia medieval e os elementos simbólicos definidores da figura santoral representativa do modelo tridentino. Portanto, apesar de sua personagem ter sido incorporada como bandeira de movimentos identitários criollistas e como fundadora de uma espiritualidade americana, não há pistas em sua hagiografia que apontem para a conformação de um novo modelo hagiográfico que respondesse às necessidades do novo território
Abstract: The saints are characters present in the catholic realm with very specific duties: they are characters of exemplary religiosity that ought to be considered as guides for religious practices and serve as mediators between the Christians and God. They have been present from the consolidation of the Catholic Church, in the 4th century, and have outlived every single change in the dogmas, doctrines and theology that the institution has faced. However, the permanence of the saintly figure does not imply the permanence of the discourses of sanctity: these are organic and adaptative to the necessities of the communities in which they dwell, as well as to the distinctive moments lived by the institution. Their life stories, constituted by the discourses of sanctity, are told in texts that are configurative of a literary genre on its own, called hagiography. At the hagiographical monument, the sacred life trajectory of a character who is regarded as an example of virtue is narrated for three main purposes: serve as entertainment for the Christians, as a handbook of righteous catholic life and as texts that define the moral that should permeate pity and the social practices of a community within a period - that is to say, serve as an instrument for the maintenance of social order. The hagiography of Rosa de Santa Maria, the first saint to be canonized in America in the 17th century, fulfilled those purposes. It even went beyond: the model of sanctity to which she belonged was to be used as an instrument of conversion and maintenance of the catholic religiosity that was being transplanted to the new Spanish colonies. The figure of Rosa was latter going to be used as the bastion of the identitary criollista movement and would become a spiritual guide for the Americas. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze in depth the hagiographic monument written about Rosa by the Dominican Leonard Hansen in the 1660s for the process of canonization of the saint that was born in Lima, the capital of the viceroyalty of Peru. It was sought to understand which were the discourses of sanctity that were present in the construction of the saintly character, as well as the models of spirituality that she represented and the forwardness of the text as the founder of a new model of pity that was specific for the American reality in the 16th and 17th centuries. The final conclusion was that the narrative of the saint?s life bears all the characteristics of the European medieval hagiographies and the symbolic elements which defined the sanctoral figures of the Tridentine period. Therefore, although the character was incorporated as the bastion of criollista movement and as the founder of a specific American spirituality, there are no signs in her hagiography that point towards the conformation of a new hagiographical model which responded to the necessities of the new territory

There is a shortage of clergy, at least in the Roman Catholic Church (cf Schoenherr&Sorenson 1982:23; Heilbronner 1998:11; Tentler 1998:348; Carroll 2001:1; Fernandez 2001:ix-x; see Seidler 1979:764; Berger 1987; Hoge et al 1988:264, 280). The Protestant Church in general is experiencing more of a distribution problem than a shortage (cf Chaves 2001:36; see Jud et al 1970:59). The two greatest hindrances to addressing this clergy distribution problem among Protestant churches is a lack of adequate compensation for clergy and the undesirable location, as perceived by clergy, of the church (Chaves 2001:36; see Jud et al 1970:59). Challenges such as secularization, duality of vocation, time management, change in type of ministry, family issues, congregational and denominational conflict, burnout, sexual misconduct, divorce or marital problems, and suicide, affect clergy. Studies on the shortage of clergy have been conducted mostly in the USA and Europe and not in South Africa. This study seeks to address this research gap by means of a practical theological grounded theory exploration of the exodus of clergy. Grounded theory methodology is used to identify the reasons why clergy trained at a Bible College of a Protestant Charismatic mega church leave full-time pastoral ministry. Findings correspond to previous studies with two reasons appearing more frequently than others: responding to a call and leadership related issues. Firstly, respondents differed in their replies with respect to reconciling their leaving full-time pastoral ministry to their call with responses of: not being called, a dual call, or called but left anyway. Secondly, respondents indicated that leadership influence was mostly negative with regard to affirming their call.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2012.

The goal of this dissertation is to build an analysis on the missionary action developed by the Catholic Church with the Kaingang people, since its origins, more than 160 years ago. This way, we intend to collaborate in the construction of a new way of missionary action to the indigenous people. This dissertation integrates the effort of building a missionary action which stands out by the announcement and testimony of the Gospels, allied to the commitment to the indigenous cause. For that purpose, we studied the main aspects of the Kaingang culture, based on the anthropological literature, having the origin myth as reference. From the information obtained in the anthropological literature, we looked at the indigenous land Ligeiro, aiming to comprehend its historical trajectory and the current reality. We analyzed the contact of the Kaingang people with the Catholic Church missionaries based on several missionary activities developed around three forms or experiences of Catholicism: missionary, popular and institutional. Those forms or experiences of Catholicism which were practiced with the Kaingang communities have provoked profound alterations in their cultural and religious universe, but they kept on being Kaingang. Thus, we have analyzed the current expressions of the Kaingang culture and the significant elements that are kept, also indicating the challenge of realizing a missionary action based on the ethics of respect
O objetivo desta dissertação é construir uma análise sobre a atuação missionária desenvolvida pela Igreja Católica junto aos Kaingang, desde os primórdios, há mais de 160 anos. Com isso, pretendemos colaborar na construção de um novo jeito de ação missionária junto aos povos indígenas. Esta dissertação integra o amplo esforço de construir uma ação missionária que prime pelo anúncio e testemunho do Evangelho aliado ao compromisso com a causa indígena. Para tanto, empreendemos o estudo sobre os principais aspectos da cultura Kaingang a partir da literatura antropológica, tendo como referencial o mito de origem. Face às informações encontradas na literatura antropológica, buscamos na Terra Indígena Ligeiro um contraponto, construindo uma leitura da sua trajetória histórica e da realidade atual. Analisamos o contato do povo Kaingang com os missionários da Igreja Católica a partir das diversas atividades missionárias em torno de três formas ou experiências de catolicismo: missionário, popular e institucional. Essas formas ou experiências de catolicismo praticadas junto às comunidades Kaingang provocaram profundas alterações no seu universo cultural e religioso, mas continuavam a ser Kaingang. Desta forma, analisamos as expressões atuais da cultura Kaingang, os elementos significativos que são guardados e apontamos o desafio de se realizar uma ação missionária baseada na ética do respeito

Full textAbstract:
Die Säkularität stellt weltweit den vorherrschenden Modus staatlicher Organisation dar und impliziert eine formelle Trennung der Religion von weltlichen Sphären der Gesellschaft, allem voran der Politik. Der öffentliche Raum ist dabei idealtypisch der Rationalität vorbestimmt. Dennoch ist Religion ein weitverbreitetes Phänomen in öffentlichen städtischen Räumen säkular konstituierter Staaten, womit ihr ein Anschluss an Prozesse der gesellschaftlichen Allgemeinheit möglich wird. Anhand einer empirischen Untersuchung Guayaquils - der größten Stadt in Ecuador - wird in der Dissertation folgenden Fragen nachgegangen: (1) In welcher Form tritt das Religiöse im öffentlichen städtischen Raum in einer säkular verfassten Gesellschaft auf und wie ist dieses Auftreten jeweils bedingt? (2) Auf welche Weise nutzen religiöse Akteure den öffentlichen Raum bzw. auf welche Weise wird Religion im öffentlichen Raum genutzt? (3) Welche Konsequenzen hat eine Präsenz der Religion im, idealtypisch der Rationalität vorbehaltenen, öffentlichen Raum für die Politik? (4) Auf welche Weise wirkt sich die gleichzeitige Exposition divergierender Weltanschauungen im öffentlichen Raum auf religiöse Praxis und Religion aus? Resultierend erweist sich eine formelle Trennung von Religion und weltlicher Sphären im Rahmen der Säkularisierung als unzureichend für ein tatsächliches Verdrängen aus dem öffentlichen Raum. Religion bleibt dank historischer Kontinuität im öffentlichen Raum erhalten und strebt aktiv nach den ihm innewohnenden Profiten, welche eine Etablierung oder den Machterhalt in der Gesellschaft ermöglichen. Die Präsenz von Religion im öffentlichen Raum führt zu ihrer Verweltlichung und politischer Einflussnahme aber auch der Vereinnahmung ihrer Potentiale durch politische Akteure. Nicht zuletzt bedingt die Exposition unterschiedlicher religiöser Weltanschauungen im öffentlichen Raum ein Verschwimmen konfessioneller Grenzen und neue Formen religiöser Identität.Secularity is the dominant mode of the organisation of states worldwide. It implies the formal separation of religion and the worldly spheres of societies, particularly the separation of the religious from the political sphere. Consequentially, public spaces are rather known as rational spheres free from religiosity. But despite this theoretical assumption, religion remains a widespread phenomena of public urban spaces in secular states, and therewith remains an essential part of societies. This thesis addresses the following questions through an empirical study in Guayaquil, the largest city of Ecuador: (1) How does the religious appear in public urban spaces of a secularised society? What are the conditions and constraints of its appearance? (2) How do religious actors make use of public spaces and how is religion being used in public spaces? (3) Which are the consequences of a religious presence in public spaces for political practices? (4) How does the co-presence of different worldviews in the same public spaces affect religious practices themselves? This thesis shows, that the formal separation of religious and worldly spheres doesn’t result in the displacement of religions out of public spaces. Rather, as a result of historical continuity, religion remains part of public spaces, benefiting from its social functions, and enabling religious communities – depending on their initial conditions – to establish themselves in society or maintain their status. The presence of religion in public spaces leads to a growing political influence of religions and an absorption of its potentials by political actors at the same time. Finally, the co-presence of different ideologies in public spaces results in a blurring of denominational boundaries and new forms of religious identity.

The purpose of this study was to analyze two official documents of Christianity promulgated in the 1960s and 1970s, namely the Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et Spes in Catholicism and the Lausanne Covennant in Protestantism, with a focus on poverty in Latin America, using a bibliographical and documentary research methodology. Main theoretical references included the sociology of Max Weber in analyzing the motivations behind the documents, and the missiology of David Bosch to study the historical and theological contexts. The dissertation is structured in three chapters. In the first, we analyse the context that defines the conception of Christianity regarding the mission of the church in the nineteenth century, as well as the way in which the two Christian perspectives viewed the question of poverty. The second chapter analyzes the two documents and their social, political, and economic context of the mid-twentieth century and identifies the conception of poverty within the mission context in a new paradigm, missio Dei, which classifies poverty as an institutional and structural problem in both Christian perspectives. In the third chapter, we analyze the theoretical implications and the contradictions that the new paradigm brings to the question of the poverty of the Latin American populations, the practical repercussions with the organization of the Ecclesial Base Communities, Liberation Theology and Theology of the Integral Mission
O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma análise de dois documentos oficiais do cristianismo promulgados nas décadas de 1960-1970, a saber, a Constituição Pastoral Gaudium et Spes no catolicismo, e o Pacto de Lausanne, no protestantismo, tendo como eixo a questão da pobreza na América Latina, pela metodologia da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Utilizou-se como referenciais teóricos principais a sociologia de Max Weber para análise das motivações por trás dos documentos e a missiologia de David Bosch que orientaram o estudo dos contextos históricos e teológicos. A dissertação foi estruturada em três capítulos. No primeiro, foram verificados os contextos que definiram a concepção do cristianismo quanto à missão da Igreja no século XIX, e analisada a maneira como as duas vertentes cristãs se posicionavam quanto à questão da pobreza. O segundo capítulo analisa os dois documentos e seu contexto social, político, econômico de meados do século XX e identifica a concepção de pobreza dentro do contexto de missão em novo paradigma, a missio Dei, para ambas as vertentes cristãs, identificando a pobreza como um problema institucional e estrutural. No terceiro capítulo, são analisadas as implicações teóricas e as contradições que o novo paradigma acarreta para a questão da pobreza das populações latino-americanas, as repercussões práticas com a organização das Comunidades Eclesiais de Base, da Teologia da Libertação e da Teologia da Missão Integral

Full textAbstract:
María de Jesús (1690s-1776) was a white-veiled Discalced Carmelite nun of the San José convent in Santa Fe de Bogotá, founded in 1606. She professed in the year 1714, and her spiritual journal was printed in a chronicle about the convent in the 1940s. The aim of this study is to examine the love of God and of neighbour, as expressed in the spiritual journal of María de Jesús. In this study I will proceed from the understanding of love as charity. In Christian thought God Himself is love, and its source. Charity, the third, and greatest, of the theological virtues, is a state of being in and responding to God’s love and favour. This way of loving consists in loving God wholeheartedly and loving our neighbour as ourselves. Included in loving our neighbour are acts related to his or her spiritual benefit and salvation. These are all present themes in María de Jesús’ text, but my aim is to examine how she incorporates these themes in her spiritual testimony by analyzing the imagery she uses, and the affective language in her spiritual journal. I will also seek to understand her way of writing by analyzing her text against the background of the tradition of women’s spiritual writings. Being a Discalced Carmelite, it will also be interesting to discover the Teresian presence in María de Jesus’ text, i.e. the influence of her predecessor and the reformer of the order, Teresa of Ávila (1515- 1582). I suggest that this can be noticed in certain rhetorical techniques. I also aim to examine if there are any similarities and differences in their expressions of love of God and of neighbour.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation attempts to rebuild the American Catholic brand fractured by the priests' sexual abuse scandals, using Isocrates' theory of self-defense and self-representation as found in his Antidosis. The work conceptualizes the Catholic Church as a brand because it is a religious organization with an army of followers, is well-known, and is an indisputable leader in the provision of education, healthcare, and social welfare, thereby playing an important role in the socio-cultural consciousness of many Americans. Built over centuries of service to its members and the country, the Catholic brand from the 1960s to the dawn of the twenty-first century had enjoyed high moral authority as a religious organization that promoted the dignity of the human person and acted as an ethically responsible corporate citizen in American society. However, such moral authority crumbled following the 2002 Boston Globe revelations that for decades the Church's hierarchy in the Archdiocese of Boston had sexually preyed on innocent children and vulnerable members. The result has been a crisis of faith and trust, lasting for over a decade in spite of the Church's efforts to create a safe environment for its children and vulnerable members and to hold predator priests accountable.<br>
This dissertation holds the view that, for the Church in America to rebuild its brand and thereby restore its fractured image and reputation, it must adopt a rebranding model based on Isocrates' theory of self-defense and self-representation/characterization. Consistent with the Isocratean rebranding model, the American Catholic Church must embrace its core identity as a model institutional citizen that promotes the dignity of the human person, differentiate and dissociate itself from predator priests and their episcopal supporters, establish goodwill toward stakeholders by setting up monuments to memorialize abuse victims, organizing annual events for victims to tell their stories, holding abusive clergy and irresponsible bishops accountable, allowing the lay faithful to play an active role in priestly formation, being more transparent in its handling of sexual abuse cases, and requiring seminarians and priests to undergo frequent sexual assault and sexual harassment training. Moreover, the ecclesial community must reconcile with victims by honestly confessing its complicity in the tragedy of the abuse and seeking forgiveness.McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts;

Among the earliest attempts of converting the Middle American Indians to Christianity was through the use of pictorial catechisms called Testerian manuscripts. The early Spanish Mendicant friars used the pictorial prayer books to teach the prayers of the Roman Catholic Church considered essential for conversion. The Testerian catechisms are named after Fray Jacobo de Testera, the Franciscan friar who is thought to have developed the hieroglyphic catechisms for the conversion process. The manuscripts combined Christian iconography and symbols from the pre-conquest native codices, and were drawn with small mnemonic and rebus figures representing a syllable, word or phrase of the Christian text The research undertaken in this study is the first comprehensive analysis of a group of manuscripts that were based on the pre-Columbian native codices and created for the religious education and conversion of the Indians of New Spain. Thirty-two documents are considered in this study. An analysis of style, content and form allowed us to define eleven types of Testerian catechisms represented by five groups and six individual examples. We have also determined that only nineteen of the extant manuscripts called Testerian catechisms are actual working catechisms, and that these were created over a time period of approximately three hundred years. The survival of the Testerian method into the nineteenth century reveals the prolonged success of the oldest teaching instruments of the New World, long after the native languages were transcribed into European letters, and three centuries following the merging of the two distinct and powerful New World and European culturesacase@tulane.edu
