Full textWho is in charge of decision-making in the Catholic Church ? The answer seems obvious: the bishops are, for they are entrusted with the « autoritas » and the « potestas », according to apostolic authority. But because the Catholic Church is a complex institution, this study wants to further examine and analyse an ecclesiastical organization in its dynamics so as to account for the role played by influence and interaction in the decision-making process. Within the National Office for Catechesis, itself composed of three structured bodies (the Episcopal Commission, the National Commission and the National Center for Religious Education), the process of taking decisions lies primarily in the hands of administrative officials. Between 1941 and 1951, this administration for catechesis was progressively set up by the catechetical movement as a weapon to enforce its wish to adapt the way catechism is taught. On a national scale, this administration aims at preparing the decisions, building up agreement around them and making sure they will be widely accepted. These decisions are then adopted by the General Assembly of the Conference of Catholic Bishops. In a Catholic Church which by definition is non democratic, this decision-making process allows participation from all actors as well as some degree of power-sharing. Between 1958 and 1973, this Church office had to cope with the crisis of the French Catholic Church. At a time when authority was disputed and institutions challenged, with the French silently but massively withdrawing from religious practice, it had to adapt its message to a changing society, wealthier but also more individualistic. The study of a French Church administration shows the diffusion of this crisis, not only among the catholic faithful but also among the clergy, whose members appear to be under growing existential questioning

Full textIn France, during the interwar period, Catholics ceaselessly claimed public financial support for their schools, which were in a particularly precarious situation. Private Catholic schools subsisted thanks to their teachers who subsumed their hard working conditions to their faith. The strong doctrine of the Catholic Church in educational matters and the acceptance of prescribed roles within the institution were key to maintain a Catholic education system. This claim went alongside a polymorphous activism. Three attitudes prevailed: first, there where the advocates of the realization of Catholic unity, whether in opposition to the political regime or enrolling in the republican legality; then appeared a new movement which demanded the insertion of Catholicism into the modern world. The rejection or the acceptance of the public school system and the definition of private education and of its role, highlighted the issue for the Church: the acceptance or rejection of the pluralisation of French society and of the Catholic opinion. In the 1920’s prevailed the clericalist educational utopia of a Christian society of which Catholic schools would be the spearhead. The 1930’s saw a paradoxical reconfiguration: in the same time that bishops took the initiative of creating a National Committee for private education in 1931, the declericalization of Catholic action was confirmed. In doing so, Catholic militancy which enabled the maintenance of schools, was also responsible for the politicization of the ecclesial scope and, ultimately, of its secularization

Full textThis doctoral thesis addresses the subjects of Latin Catholic ecclesiastical properties and their affiliated religious orders in Istanbul’s traditionally Christian districts of Galata and Pera from the perspective of Ottoman legal doctrine and practice. These themes are explored primarily through Ottoman primary sources from the conventual archives of the Dominicans of SS. Peter and Paul in Galata and of the Capuchins of St. Louis of the French in Pera. Part I situates the Latin Catholic community, religious orders and properties in terms of their location, demographics, legal status and representatives. Part II presents an overview of the land and property rights of minorities in Galata in general and of Latin Catholic ecclesiastical properties in particular. Part III examines three property disputes as well as the conceptual and practical implications of the Christian vakıf. Part IV focuses on the diplomatic role played by France and its influence over the churches’ affairs

Full textFrom its earliest beginnings down to current postmodern XXIst century, Christianity is struck a balance between two phenomena, holding one another in various and complex mounting tensions, of empathy and of awareness towards reason and science. Herein, critical appraisals override the consideration of legitimate autonomy of reason and science, therein, a religious and ethical respect tends to govern various forms and shades of critical esteem, in favour of the autonomy of reason and science. Sciences freed from theologies monopoly, sciences excelling in knowledge and technical performances, but there still remains however, modern and contemporary sciences with misconducts of naturalism, nominalism, narrow positivism or political ideologies.Irrespective of an unresolved conflict, arising from the anti-modernist fights, the Church’s general councils of Vatican I (1869-1870: Constitution Dei Filius, chapter IV) and Vatican II (1962-1965: Constitution Gaudium et spes, 36) made huge steps forward : As the first reminds us of the legitimacy of science and reason in their specific areas of expertise, the second, while taking into account the progress of the theology of history, reflects deeper on the autonomy of worldly realities. With this background, with what canonical tools, could the safeguarding mission of the Roman Catholic character of the Church’s universities, for example, and her protection of cultures, sciences and the world of scientists, - under the conditions - could be guaranteed ?

Berthe, Pierre-Marie. "Les dissensions ecclésiales, un défi pour l'Église catholique : histoire et actualité." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018STRAK001.
Full textEver since the inception of Christianity, the Church’s unity based on faith, worship and hierarchical communion with Peter’s successor has been faced with doctrinal or disciplinary dissents which entail institutional severances at times. Today, Catholics have difficulty speaking with one voice about essential questions, while at the same time the ecumenical dialogue is late inrestoring perfect unity between Christians. Those two sets of problems are tackled here in the light of history. Leading the reader on a long chronological path from Antiquity to modern times, this study examines the doctrinal, canonical and pastoral solutions applied along the centuries in order to deal with the crises arising inside the Church ; then it answers three questions in connection with present circumstances : What should be done to avoid new severances within the Church? How to react in front of conflictual situations? What way should be followed to reconcile Christians? While it takes courage and boldness to promote unity, the latter cannot be contemplated outside the truth revealed by Christ and tradition

Full textAs western modern societies have gradually liberalised their abortion laws, Ireland took the opposite way by adopting the eighth amendment vindicating the right to life of the “unborn” in 1983, an amendment clearly influenced by the prevailing Catholic ethos. The aim of this research is to give sense to this landmark event which we interpret as a moral blocking. To this end, we put the debate in perspective within the secularisation process, the advance of which we propose to assess. The abortion issue is encompassed here as a privileged tool to assess this process both at the individual and institutional level (Church-State relationship) levels. However, the debate is not confined to Ireland and occasionally takes a European dimension. Indeed, the Irish position on abortion is an exception within the EU and has developed as a symbol of the country's Catholic identity when defending its values on unborn human life on the European stage as occurred during the ratification processes of the Maastricht and Lisbon treaties. We analyse Europe's approach to the right to life as guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights in relation to the Irish context. Although Europe does not privilege the “unborn's” right to life over the woman's right to choose and vice versa, it might be a Trojan Horse as European institutions are generally in favour of women's rights and reproductive health, and the EU resisted pressure from the Vatican to have any Christian religious denomination engraved in its constitution

Full textThis study deals with the movement called the “Liberation Theology” in Haiti. With a historical approach, it aims to trace back the evolution of the movement from 1970 to 2004 while showing the networks and actors involved. Though the movement’s true birth is very recent in Haiti’s society, its development has been groundbreaking. It has grown through many grassroots structures such as the ecclesiastic grassroots Communities, widely known as TKL (Ti Kominote Legliz), the groups constituted by peasants and the centers of formation. As a place of political education, brotherhood and solidarity, those structures have played a major role, in the 1980s, not only in the renaissance of the Catholic Church, but also because it helped to diffuse the « Liberation Theology » in Haiti. Their strength during the dictatorship has been blatant, through their public positioning and their actions which have in a large measure contributed to the dictatorship’s downfall. The movement was led by priests from diverse social backgrounds and Congregations. Some of them had been exiled during the dictatorship. Although the exile has been one of the most common sanctions during the dictatorship, it has not been the most efficient weapon since it led to the development, by these priests, of a powerful anti-Duvalier movement that was strongly influenced by the « Liberation Theology » whose press and grassroots associations were to be the main means of diffusion of their ideas and that was at the origin of Jean-Claude Duvalier’s departure on February the 7th, 1986. The movement’s success corresponds to the election, in 1990, of one of its leaders, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Who are those actors ? What were their goal and mission? What are the main networks implied in this movement? Is there really a common viewpoint between the “Liberation Theology” and the ideas defended by its actors in Haiti? How can Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s ideas be said to coincide with those of the “Liberation Theology”? Should his presidential politics be considered as following the « Liberation Theology »? Those are the questions to which the present study will try to bring some answers

Full textThe Ascendancy of digital tools in the domain of communication reveals the importance of their efficient use for social actors in their strategies of expression and influence. This study proposes an exploration into the heart of the universe of one of these tools (the blog) to understand it’s function in order to identify potential strategic use by a specific actor in society: the Catholic Church in France. The first part of this research consisted in clarifying the various concepts used: strategic intelligence, the blog, and the notion of participating in social debates. This definition phase proved to be necessary, because it allowed us, by using our definition of strategic intelligence, to choose the approach from which the concept of blogs would be presented. The second part of our study gradually shows the emergence of strategic intelligence regarding the revision of bioethical laws in the Catholic Church. In this study, we explain the specificities (diversity, fugacity and complexity) for a field of study such as the Catholic blogosphere. These features have led us to adopt a method of selecting blogs referenced by Google, and to a technique of dynamic archiving of blogs. Subsequently we have tried to approach this Catholic blogosphere, by clarifying the organization and institutional functioning of the Catholic Church

Full textSince the independence of Mexico (1821), two political groups have been competing for the control of the country. Throughout the twentieth century, the hegemonic party used the entire state apparatus system to make it impossible to observe the cleavages in the country and on the contrary it stimulated the idea of a party-state above all social conflict. We have studied and exploited the concept of cleavage as a tool. This concept allows us to examine where the lines that divide the society lie. The case of mayor political parties has been studied: the National Action Party (PAN) the Party of Democratic Revolution (PRD) and the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). The constitutional amendments that occurred during Salinas's administration have put the State and the Catholic Church in confrontation again. Indeed, this conflict has become the center of a national debate. We can see that the conflict has been institutionalized and has continued until today. To reach our goal we present a series of interviews with the young leaders from political parties. We analyze their answers from the State - Catholic Church cleavage. Crossed questions about the “sensitive” subjects (abortion and gay marriage) let us detect the reproduction of cleavage. We develop and propose a typology (Weber) to guide and lead this research

Full textWithin the Catholic Church, the criteria for belonging to a sui iuris Church have evolved throughout the history of Canon Law, particularly after the fairly recent promulgation of the Latin Code in 1983 and of the Code of the Canons of the Eastern Churches in 1990. Positive Law is proof of the care the legislator now takes to give priority to the objectivity of the criteria, whilst not preventing other elements to be taken into account, such as the desire of people who wish to change the rite, for example in the case of their marriage. Holy See law and Praxis are a witness to this difficult search for a balance between an objective determinism concerning adherence to the ritual and a subjective freedom to choose one’s rite or to modify it. However, society and Church structures have changed in recent years, changes which are characterized by the multiplication of ecclesiastical structures with a personal character in the Latin world, giving the Faithful the right to have their own personal wishes; and a growing number of Eastern Church members in Diaspora. This has led us to reconsider whether it is now at all pertinent to favour territorial criteria as opposed to personal ones in Eastern Church structures. Unless we wish to condemn them to a marginal position or even to disappear altogether, we must now reflect carefully on the institutional link between the Sui Iuris Churches and their Faithful. The weight of History, of the link with the other Eastern Orthodox Churches, and of the tradition of Canon Law must be simultaneously integrated and transcended if Eastern Catholic Churches are not to be trapped within a death-inducing logic
Farah, Joseph. "Enjeux et défis de la contribution des réseaux sociaux numériques à une transmission réussie : le cas de l’Eglise catholique." Thesis, Reims, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014REIMS040/document.
Full textAt first, the digital social networks (DSN) were understood as communicational means: example, search an old friend in order to create a communication. With this tentacular revolution of this horizontal communication, another vertical axe was born: the transmission. Politicians (Obama and Facebook during the electoral campaign at the USA), stars, leaders, Men of the Church (Benoit XVI first Pope at Twitter), etc. imposed a new sample of presence: a vertical transmission, a process where a signal, a message is moving towards from a transmitter to a receiver or to a mass. The transmission is often devoid of interactivity. It's the dilemma of the DSN: Transmission and communication. To communicate a message means to bring it on a horizontal axe (speaker/interlocutor). To transmit a message means to bring it on hierarchic vertical axe (transmitter/receiver).The transmitted message may fail: refusal of the message, wrong message, wrong transmitters, etc. As for the Catholic Church, our case study, the failure in the transmission of its message (the faith) may be destroying: heresy, sentimentalism, dangerous transmission, obsession even devilish, etc.How a Catholic Church, with its hierarchic structure, can set up a successful transmission: Official (sure), acceptable and instructive? How a Catholic Church can respect and assure the reconciliation between the two pillars of the DSN: Communication (horizontal axe) and transmission (vertical axe)?In the first part, we find an observation of the development of the social network that has taken on, as one goes along, the shape that we know nowadays, Digital Social Networks (DSN). In the second part, and after a historical summary of the major stages of the formulation of the medias church conception, and a presentation of the key masterly texts concerning its vision towards DSN, an interview with the administrator of the ecclesiastic group about the DSN (a sample) and a questionnaire addressed to the members will be achieved in order to reveal instructions and explanations that draw the vital lead of the last part of the thesis.A novelty is presented in the last part: a new strategy of transmission 2.0 that is constituted of different propositions:-Prior transformations in the bosom of the Church in its view of the DSN world: The DSN are an occasion created from the relationship of the two axes: vertical and horizontal.-To establish an official institution and ecclesiastical DSN offices in order to manage the certified groups.-A technical and office automation collaboration between: Church and DSN firms (Facebook, Twitter, Google + etc).-An outline of a wiki-manual: an official document that constitutes an “open source” it sets up the general instructions of the transmission 2.0 of the Church

Full textEntitled « When Two Worlds Meet : Louisiana Slaves and the Catholic Church, 1803-1845 », this dissertation aims to reconstruct the history and the evolution of Afro-Catholicism in Louisiana in the early nineteenth century, both in urban areas, with the city of New Orleans as a backdrop, and rural areas, with the parish of St. John the Baptist as a case study. It begins in 1803, when Louisiana became an American possession, and ends in 1845, three years after the founding in New Orleans of the St. Augustine Church, the emblem of the religion of free blacks and slaves, and of the Sisters of the Holy Family, a religious order for free women of color. Early nineteenth-century Louisiana is the perfect theater to explore the encounter between Catholicism and slavery and to perceive the construction process of a distinct Afro-Catholicism. Although many studies focus on the history of slavery in Louisiana, the world of the slaves and of their religious practices is still largely elusive. Exploring the religious culture of the slaves in the American South represents a historiographical challenge that help refine our knowledge of a troubled time in American history – the era of slavery–, of largely unknown actors– Catholic slaves –, and of an area totally different from the rest of the United States. In fact, because of its Franco-Hispanic roots and its Catholic character, Louisiana appears as a single entity within the United States of America, predominantly Anglo-Protestant

Full textMy research contributes to the history of interwar antisemitism by examining the interplay between two aspects usually neglected in the scholarship on antisemitism: the involvement of Catholic activists and the transnational dimension of antisemitic propaganda. By studying the Catholic network led by the Roman prelate Umberto Benigni and drawing upon the recently opened Vatican archives (Pius XI’s pontificate and Holy Office archives), my work revisits antisemitism through the lens of transnational methods. Challenging the traditional distinction between religious anti-Judaism and modern antisemitism, the overarching question of my research is how the transnational diffusion of antisemitic propaganda played a key role in the reshaping and renewal of Catholic hostility toward Jews during the interwar period. Focusing on a specific network led by Italian and French clerics with global right-wing connections, my dissertation uncovers that antisemitism was the common ground that gathered divergent tendencies as heterogeneous as French Catholics, Italian Fascists, White Russian émigrés, and German National Socialists. As a case study, Msgr Umberto Benigni’s network demonstrates Catholic antisemitism’s transnational connections and permeability with political and racial prejudices. Going beyond the Nazi-centric debate on antisemitism, my research draws upon the recent development of Holocaust studies related to the Italian and Vatican contexts, and examines an alternative model of Catholic Latin antisemitism. My dissertation thus exposes Catholic networks as one of the main vectors and driving forces of antisemitism’s transnational spread during the interwar era

Full textEcumenical relations tend to crystallize around the question of ministry, a subject on which current dialogue seems to be blocked. For fifty years, the Lutheran and Reformed Churches have been engaged in dialogue at the international level with the Roman Catholic Church on this question. Numerous reports have been produced. This study analyzes the strong convergences, the legitimate differences and the divergences which appear in these dialogues on the apostolicity of the Church, the importance of the common priesthood of the baptized, the necessity of a special ministry conferred by ordination for the service of preaching and administration of the sacraments and the essential importance for the Church of a ministry of episkopè to protect the integrity of the faith and preserve the unity of the church. The study demonstrates that ministry is not the ultimate question, but one that reveals fundamental ecclesiological issues which appear in the connection between eucharistic and ecclesial communion, the structuring of the Church on a universal level and its relationship with local Churches, the presence in fullness of the Church of Jesus Christ in one or several particular Churches. The study offers a reflexion which prepares the ground for moving forward to a mutual recognition of ministries which, although not currently on the agenda, nevertheless still remains possible

Full textThis Thesis analyses the political action of the Catholic Church in Argentina and Chile between the Second Vatican Council and the end of the military regimes in the 1970s and 1980s. In this study, I look at how the Chilean and Argentinian Church adopted divergent approaches towards the policies of the governing military regimes, seeking the factors behind this divergence, and I focus on thought and actions of the Argentinian and Chilean episcopate, and the Vatican. From a methodological point of view, this study aims primarily at a research in the fields of cultural and political history, taking advantage of the contributions of anthropology and sociology of religion, with a long-terms perspective seeking for the roots of the analysed phenomena. Still, being the Catholic Church transnational by nature, this study contributes to the field of history of international relations using a comparative perspective, without which it would not be possible to fully understand the national realities under analysis. This study presents the result of a multidisciplinary research with the goal of rebuilding the studied social phenomena in their full complexity, yet avoiding the generalizations common in continental studies, as well as the limitations of those studies focusing on a national level

Full textChinese Catholic communities living in Paris and Milan developed throughout 20th century following Asian migration flows. Being aware of the challenge of welcoming these new believers, French and Italian church authorities implemented specific structures for Catholic migrants. Through a comparative ethnographic study, this thesis offers to analyze how ecclesiastical institutions in Italy and France follow the structuring of Chinese faithful groups. During this research, we focused on churchgoers’ life stories and motivations behind their Catholic faith. More specifically, we analyzed how all these elements influenced their daily practice of Catholicism. We also studied the role that these Catholic communities play in terms of keeping connections between Chinese migrants and their culture

Full textSince the year 1950 until the dawn of this 21rst century in Cameroon, discussions on Catholic Education generally focused on showing the Catholic Church at the crossroads. In other words, the attention had mainly been on a Church facing the challenge of choosing either to continue integrating the Catholic School within her evangelizing mission, or to hand over her schools to the State, due to the various commitments they entail, as well as the misunderstandings which their management brings about within educational communities. Yet, in the light of the Bishops' pastoral letter on Catholic Education in Cameroon (1989), followed by the John Paul II's Post-synodal apostolic Exhortation, Ecclesia in Africa (1995), and also, considering the various opportunities which the Framework-agreement between the Holy See and the Republic of Cameroon, in 2014 could generate, it is obvious that the Church has henceforth made the choice of pursuing her evangelizing mission through the catholic School. This study analyzes the challenges of the Church with regard to her renewed commitment in the field of education. In fact, the continuation of catholic education in Cameroon engages the Catholic Church to guarantee the specific caracter of her schools, by virtue of canon law, on the one hand, and to see to it that those schools comply with the standards laid down by the Cameroonian legislation, on the other hand. On the basis of this State legislation, measures are laid down toward private schools in order to sanction institutions falling below the standards required. Among those measures, there is the closure of private schools by public authorities. Certainly, these measures compel ecclesiastical authorities to guarantee the viability of catholic schools in view of providing the youths with quality education. yet, is the implementation of such measures not liable to challenge the canonical legitimacy of the Church as far as establishing and directing schools are concerned (can. 800 § 1, CIC 1983)? The history of Catholic Education in Cameroon, as well as the new challenges of the world today, invites the Church to re-think the catholic School. Considered as being at the core of the Church's evangelizing mission, the catholic School should strive to form by renewing itself. Concretly, Catholic schools are to be, more than ever before, "places of evangelization, well-rounded education, inculturation and initiation to dialogue of life among Young people of different religious and social backgrounds" (John Paul II, Ecclesia in Africa, n. 102). This, therefore, requires a re-definition of the areas of competence of ecclesiastical authorities in Catholic School matters, as well as proven professionalism in administrative, pedagogical, financial and pastoral affairs. Moreover, the same renewal should involve an effort in value the lay staff contribution through a co-responsible synergy within living educational communities. Finally, a quest for quality in education requires a reliable partnership between the Catholic Church and the Cameroonian State in the field of Education, and this, thanks to the bilateral advantages which the dispositions of the above mentioned Framework-agreement could bring about in the future

Full textA glance of the current events of this Church brings to light that the collaboration between magisterial authorities and theologians involved with the task of doctrinal and catechetical education of the Roman Catholic Church experiences some difficulties, especially in more diverse and secularized societies. Sometimes theological research contributes to put the endangerment of the ecclesial communion or its cohesiveness with regard to the faith and moral theology. The instruction of the Roman Curie Donum veritatis of May 24th, 1990 enters in doctrine and in the procedure of regulation of the exercise of the freedom and the responsibility of the catholic theologian and the ecclesiastic to be met to ensure full communion. They are the criteria of orthodoxy, orthopraxy, ecclesial membership and communion.The question of the canonical status of theologians is debated and the catholic authority is obliged to specify the doctrine and the status of the catholic theologian. Does the code of Latin canon law of 1983 foresee rules for the regulation of the mission of the theologian according to the requirement of full ecclesial communion? A thesis in canon law was necessary to provide an initial assessment of the vocation of the catholic theologian, the institution of catholic theology, and the status of catholic theologians under Canon law. How does canonicity assist a faithful who, by the acquisition of recognized skills, wants to become a catholic theologian? How does one evaluate the suitability of the applicant? How to grant a candidate the status of theologian under Canon law and, if necessary, withdraw such status for the good of the Church? How does one guarantee the consciousness and the freedom of the catholic theologian? In case of differences of opinion or disagreement, how does one qualify this situation? Thus, the theologian enjoys liberties recognized by his Church but within the limits of the duty of communion described in canon # 209 § 1 of the Latin Code of 1983 and canon # 12 § 2 of the Code of the Oriental Churches’ Canons

Full textWe see appear, these last years, what we is called « the new spiritualities » : social phenomenon for some; danger alarming for the others. However it is not easy to make an objective opinion on the question, as far as each think hold a part of the truth which persists in defending against that of the other one. It would be necessary nevertheless to go over all these passions, to exceed the simple framework of these confrontations to see springing the truth more universal.This research topic is a history ; a story which begins with « the baptism in the Correspondence of Cyprian of Carthage » and that continued with « the quarrel on the baptism and the divisions of the african christian church from Cyprian of Carthage to Augustine ». It is about a climb story which takes its source in the question of the second baptism so expensive to Cyprian following lapsi, which continues with the questioning of the idea of the second baptisme, to lead to the concern about the peace in the unity with Augustine. It is the central question of « Augustine’s fight against the heresy [in] the anti-manichean campaign and anti-donatist ».In the framework of these researches, I especially wanted to approach, by the study of the essential documents of the works of Augustin of Hippo [more exactly the ample anti-manichean « file » and still the most ample « file » anti-donatiste], the way the history of the christian communities, in a certain period of the antiquity, was impacted in its social and ideological evolution by the plurality of the thoughts which developed within it.The choice of the subject required a new approach on the study and the exploitation of sources in order to better apprehend the strategies of fight developed by Augustine in its offensive against the heresy in Africa and in the period theodosian. So, in this research work I was eager to underline the original information which ensues from anti-manichean works and anti-donatist of Augustine, in particular on the effects of the preventive function of the penalties, the terror of the laws and the action of the bishops to discover the heretics. I was besides eager to underline that, in the case of the manicheans, Augustine always acted with the rigor and the distrust of a converted person, although he was not able to avoid the imprint of the manichaeism in some of his concepts. As for the donatism, I led my investigations in the conceptual framework of the religious conflict and the ecclesiological tensions.This work is of a certain originality. An originality futrther develop and perceptible in the third part in particular to the comparative study of the intervention of Augustine with both forms of dissident

Full textO presente trabalho investiga a participação de organizações católicas no desenvolvimento de políticas sociais voltadas a imigrantes e refugiados residentes no Brasil. Discuto a problemática do governo e da soberania e sua relação com ações humanitárias e assistenciais. O acompanhamento das atividades do Fórum Permanente de Mobilidade Humana do Rio Grande do Sul (FPMH/RS) de Porto Alegre permitiu uma aproximação ao universo dos atores religiosos que atuam na promoção da cidadania e na proteção a imigrantes. Em termos específicos, a tese analisa o surgimento e a expansão de uma congregação católica cujo carisma encontra-se nas migrações; trata-se dos irmãos e irmãs scalabrinianos, ordem fundada, no fim do século XIX, por João Batista Scalabrini. A pesquisa realizou um mapeamento dos agentes e instituições assistenciais, com foco nas organizações católicas que lideram o campo do acolhimento humanitário. Daí o relativo realce conferido à Missão Paz, instituição localizada em São Paulo, que acolheu a maior parte dos chamados “novos imigrantes”. Diante do crescimento do fluxo de caribenhos e africanos, observou-se tanto uma perspectiva que definiu tais movimentos como uma “ameaça” quanto um discurso pelo qual se pretendeu contrapor um mundo civilizado e um mundo bárbaro Por isso, um dos pontos que sublinho neste trabalho refere-se à cumplicidade entre civilização e brutalidade. A imigração é um tema historicamente controverso e complexo; procuro demonstrar que este campo transformou-se, nos dois últimos séculos, pela inclusão de novas roupagens e referências conceituais, mantendo, porém, continuidade com lógicas estigmatizantes do passado. Uma questão que me mobilizou a realizar o estudo foi averiguar as tecnologias de controle e de normalização da conduta das populações em mobilidade, bem como o regime de poder/saber presente no cálculo de contenção e de solidariedade do governo humanitário. Em suma, orientado por uma perspectiva etnográfica e histórica, examino: i) a interface entre políticas internacionais e práticas humanitárias, com destaque especial para o combate ao tráfico de pessoas e; ii) o modo através do qual atores sociais, especialmente religiosos, convertem discursos dominantes em micropráticas mediante o manejo de argumentos morais que, em grande parte, sustentam as decisões políticas arroladas ao fenômeno contemporâneo da mobilidade humana.
This paper investigates the participation of catholic organizations in the development of social policies aimed at immigrants and refugees residing in Brazil. I discuss the problems of the government and sovereignty and their relationship with humanitarian and assistance actions. The monitoring of the activities of the Permanent Forum on Human Mobility of Rio Grande do Sul (FPMH/RS) in Porto Alegre allowed an approach to the universe of religious actors who work to promote citizenship and to protect imigrants. In specific terms, the thesis analyzes the emergence and expansion of a catholic congregation whose charism is founded on migrations; these are the scalabrinian priests and sisters, an order founded at the end of the 19th century by João Batista Scalabrini. The research carried out a mapping of agents and care institutions, focusing on the catholic organizations that lead the field of humanitarian care. Hence the relative importante given to the Missão Paz, an institution located in São Paulo which welcomed most of the so-called “new immigrants”. Faced with the growth of the Caribbean and African flows, I observed both a perspective that defined these movements as a “threat” as also a discourse by which it was intended to oppose a civilized world and a barbaric world For this reason, one of the points I emphasize in this work is the complicity between civilization and brutality. Immigration is a historically controversial and complex issue. I try to demonstrate that this field has become different in the last two centuries by the inclusion of new clothes and conceptual references, maintaining, however, continuity with stigmatizing logics of the past. One issue that mobilized me to carry out this study was to investigate the technologies of control and standardization of the conduct of the populations in mobility, as well as the regime of power/knowledge involved in the calculation of the containment and solidarity in the humanitarian government. In short, guided by an ethnographic and historical perspective, I examine: i) the interface between international policies and humanitarian practices, with particular emphasis on combating trafficking in persons and; ii) the way in wich social actors, especially religious ones, convert dominant discourses into micropractices by handling moral arguments that, in large part, underpin the political decisions related to the contemporary phenomenon of human mobility.

Full textMy PhD dissertation analyzes the reactions of the Holy See as well as of French and Italian Catholics, through a comparative approach, to the events in Vietnam between the second half of 1963 and the first half of 1966. Within this time frame, a series of events would bring the international attention back on Vietnam, while Paul VI would resume the work of the Second Vatican council and lead it to a conclusion, and while both the international system and Western European societies would go through major transformations in their deep structures. Based on my study, I argue that between 1963 and 1966 Vietnam would have been perceived as the scene of three different forms of conflict in the eyes of the Church. A religious war (1963, ‘Buddhist crisis’), a potential atomic third world war (1964-1965, Gulf of Tonkin crisis and U.S. full military intervention in Vietnam), and an asymmetric, semi-conventional war that would cause a humanitarian emergency (1965-1966, intense escalation of the war). Each of these forms of conflict would raise specific and delicate issues for the conciliar Church, most of which regarding the relationship between religion and politics. The most pressing of these issues would come to be the legitimacy of the “Just War” doctrine in the atomic age, the need for concrete action in favor of peace on behalf of the whole Church, and primacy of conscience amongst the Catholics. Engaged in a complex and often contradictory internal dialectic, the Church appears to have been divided between the spirit of Vatican II’s ‘aggiornamento’, introduced by John XXIII’s magisterium, and the its traditional connection with the West, marked by Pius XII’s rigid anticommunism of the Fifties

Full textThis thesis reconstructs the development of relations among the Communist regime, the Church, and the Catholic laity in Hungary, from the arrival of the Red Army at the end of 1944 through the signing of the Partial Agreement between the Holy See and the Hungarian government on 15 September 1964. The thesis takes as its task the reconstruction of a process under whose auspices Communist domination was deeply internalized, as much by members of the clergy as by the faithful themselves. It seeks also to understand the manner in which that domination was able to shape the development of ecclesiastical and religious life. Finally, it aims to reconstruct the political dynamics that brought about this bid for domination and the manner in which that bid was subsequently transformed, particularly following the shock of the Revolution of 1956. The thesis is based on a large body of unpublished and published sources, hailing from the Party-State apparatus (political police, Office of Ecclesiastical Affairs, the Party agit-prop department) as well as the Church (collections of the Episcopate, religious orders, and parishes), supplemented by oral history testimony gathered both before and after the fall of the Communist regime

Full textThis thesis focuses the missionary presence in the Democratic Republic of Congo under the Belgian rule towards the end of the Sixth Century. We seek to understand bow this Church came to be financially dependent by looking at the different causes or exogenous and endogenous as well as the roots of this phenomenon within the context of the colonial policy. From the beginning, it has received State subsidies and enjoyed other significant advantages including large tracts of land. Ever since the native hierarchy has taken over, i.e. as from the decolonization, this Church has been unable to support itself and has been obliged constantly seek external aid from western financial bodies in order to meet its needs. But in the light of the current western sociocultural context (decline of religious practices, financial crises worldwide ... ) such a financial extraversion is no longer comforting. Ali things considered, long accustomed as it was to be assisted, this Congolese Church now needs to develop a new course of action through which it will be able to find other means of self-support for its survival. The objective of this work is to show that there is potential at band, namely the mobilization and the rational management of the human and economic resources available, the cost-effectiveness of the production facilities inherited from the missionaries, but resting on a favourable national sociopolitical and economic environment and a change in the attitude of the parties involved

Full textIn the history of Catholic spirituality, Louis Tronson (1622-1700), who was elected third Superior of the Society of the Priests of Saint-Sulpice in 1676, is known mainly as editor of the Treatise on Holy Orders attributed to Jean-Jacques Olier (1676), as author of the Particular Examens (1690) and as host of the Conferences at Issy about quietism (1694-1695). The purpose of this work is to propose a better insight into the role of Louis Tronson in the history of Catholic theology. Indeed, this role was decisive in defining the theology of priestly vocation. By considering the "marks of vocation" in the light of his own experience in training future priests, Tronson drew up reliable yet flexible charts for discernment. Among these criteria "inclination" or "attraction" is of special importance. Although a subjective and intimate echo of divine calling, attraction is not a subjectivistic notion : on the contrary it supposes that there is an object which attracts, in this case the priesthood itself. Tronson frequently uses the words "estate" and "functions" to characterize it : far from being opposed, both terms complete each other and allow Tronson to offer a view of the Catholic priesthood which is both sacramental and social, specifically christological and rooted in the society of his time

Full textMy research focuses on the d’Este cardinals’ diplomatic and religious actions and on their role as mediators between Italy and France. My objective is to uncover the geopolitical foundations of their actions whilst highlighting the different scales thereof. The territorial emprise of the d’Este cardinals is actually revealed by the existence of Italian and French relays. I study the presence of Ippolito II and Luigi d’Este both in terms of their material presence and their participation in the political stakes of the time. This research combines multiple forms of historiography. First, it develops the existing knowledge of the cardinals’ sociology in the sixteenth century. It then considers contributions from the history of international relations and how they pertain to the roles of the two d’Este cardinals as supporters of the French crown in Rome and pontifical mediators in the French court and studies their methods. I conclude by analysing Christian humanism as conceptualised by Erasmus to see whether it constitutes a guideline for their religious conduct. By examining their modus operandi on the international scene, this thesis argues that a Catholic identity is emerging which is not heterodox, but rather which fits into the strictest denominational orthodoxy. Nevertheless, crossing the mountains leads to readjustments in manners of expressing and representing the Catholic faith

Full textThis thesis aims to analyse the institutional engagement of the Roman Catholic Church and other Pentecostal groups, regarding the land reform and agrarian policies launched in Brazil after the organisation of the Brazil’s Conference of Catholic Bishops (CNBB) held in 1952. We underline that it is necessary to highlight the way how the Roman Catholic Church started its actions by “teaching to read and write” and “recovering” their members those who were dragged into the socialist ideology developed by peasant’s leagues, in order to prevent the growing of the communist front in the countryside. At that time, the catholic’s social movement objectives were under eminent danger, due the Brazilian army aided by the U.S. government, declared a coup in 1964. The Roman Catholic Church in Brazil is divided into two wings: a left and a conservative. The left wing has launched the “Liberation Theology” prohibited by the head of the church in Rome. However, this religious left minority succeeded by organizing the Land’s Pastoral Commission, which contributed to the return of democracy, as well as the organization of the Worker’s Party in 1980, considered by the believers as the God’s will and the foundation of the Landless Worker’s Movement in 1984

Full textThis dissertation concerns the history of Vatican Radio and its broadcasts spread in several languages from its foundation to the Second World War. The research demonstrates that Vatican Radio, a modern means of apostolate strongly wanted by Pius XI, during the war had become means of propaganda and counterpropaganda, as well as of diplomacy, used to defend the positions and the decisions of the Holy See. Radio Vatican has been studied as a special observatory to approach some of the most outstanding problems concerning the pontificate of Pius XII during the war: the position of the Church towards the conflict, the relationship with the regimes (communist, Italian fascism, national-socialism, of Vichy) and with the democracies (England and the United States). The analysis of the relations between Vatican Radio and the Roman Curia, the use made of this means, the contents of broadcasts, the decision to spread them, the modalities and the times of their diffusion, or of what was preferred to keep silent, all these questions have been an opportunity to meditate upon the government of Eugenio Pacelli's Church

Full textIn Republic of Congo, the army, as a whole of structures and average soldiers institutionally assigned to the implementation of the policy decided by the political authorities to ensure and guarantee national defense, is far from being the exclusive author of the coups d'etat, even if, systematically, it benefits from the political consequences attached to those. Actually, the coups d'etat are there the resultant of a fight between several fields. In this fight, the actors of the coups d'etat, according to their respective ideological corpora, set up strategies whose characteristic is not to limit themselves to the bureaucratic field but to also engage the company apprehended taking into consideration their ethnic or regional group of membership. Thus, they mobilize, not only their own capital (diplomas, profession), but also resources of their ethnic or regional groups in order to carry out the conquest or the conservation of the power. By the complex play of ideological solidarity, ethnic or corporatists, the political actors weave alliances and, according to the case, take part or are opposed to the execution of the coups d'etat. Under this report, the coups d'etat, which suppose an important strategic mobilization, political and material on behalf of those which form the project of it, merge with a mode of conquest of the power comparable formally to the election, and fit in what Marcel Mauss names the total social facts. The political leaders belonging to the minority ethnic groups, not being able to reach the power by democratic way, work out a strategy of conquest of fascinating power support on the army. Thus, diverted its traditional mission of protection of the national territory vis-a-vis the external aggressions, the army sees its decreased operational value
