Tran, Tan Thanh. "Sociology as a Source for the Reception of Vatican II's Teaching on the Church and Episcopal Conferences:." Thesis, Boston College, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/2345/bc-ir:108990.
Full textThis thesis examines issues that complicate the reception of Vatican II, proposes hermeneutical principles to engage these issues, and argues that to receive the council’s teaching on the church and episcopal conferences one has to combine sociology with the traditional sources of theology such as Scripture, patristic theology, church teaching, and church history. Chapter One studies issues that involve the reception of Vatican II through the perspectives of Walter Kasper, the delegates of the 1985 Synod of Bishops, and Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI. It shows that to engage these issues, one has to pay attention both to the historical context of Vatican II and to the documents of the council, to both ressourcement and aggiornamento, and to both elements of continuity and elements of discontinuity in the teaching of Vatican II. Chapter Two explains why one needs sociology to interpret Vatican II’s teaching on the church. It argues that for the council’s bishops the church is more than a mystery of communion promoted by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and defended by Joseph Ratzinger in his debate with Walter Kasper. The church is the sacrament of Christ or a theological and socio-historical reality. As a result, Scripture, patristic theology, church teaching, and church history are not sufficient to provide a proper understanding of the church. Sociology should be integrated into conciliar ecclesiology to study the church. Chapter Three shows how sociology can be integrated into ecclesiology to help theologians receive Vatican II’s teaching on the church. The chapter engages Neil Ormerod’s critique of Roger Haight’s two-language approach to ecclesiology to demonstrate why the relationship between the theological and the socio-historical dimension of the church complicates the integration of sociology into ecclesiology. It argues that Karl Rahner’s theology of grace and the church can provide a framework for relating sociology to ecclesiology. Chapter Four builds on this framework to examine the Vatican’s and Asian bishops’ reception of episcopal conferences. It argues that neither the Vatican’s nor the Asian bishops’ reception can offer a comprehensive understanding of episcopal conferences. To receive this teaching of the council, one has to combine sociological insights from the sociology of organizations with theological concepts from Scripture, canon law, and church teaching

Full textThe topic of the present work is the influence exerted by the Catholic Church in Poland on the drafting of national legislation on abortion and IVF, on their discursive construction and their collocation and expression in the public discourse. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first provides a theoric and historical framework motivating the close relations existing between State, Church, and identity in Poland, creating the stereotypical dyad Polak / Katolik. The second part verifies the persistence of this juxtaposition: through the analysis of data from the WVS and the Polish CBOS, we measure the level of religiosity and the impact of religion on daily life, behaviours, and moral choices of the population. Adherence rate to religious practices has not changed significantly over the last two decades. Although the affiliation is higher for some socio-demographic categories, differences are small and correlations often insignificant. The historical role of the Catholic Church in Poland and the widespread and deep religiosity of the country creates the social framework in which the public discourse is developed. In the third part, through Critical Discourse Analysis, we examined both the public discourses of the Polish Episcopal Conference and the representation of the issues in the national press. The analysis shows that public discourse is characterized by partiality, with a pro-life prevalence in terms of both language and message. Pro-life semantics moved not only from the oriented vocabulary to the everyday one, but also from the sphere of the discussion on reproductive rights to social definitions of more general concepts, configuring a “discursive barrier”. Moreover, while the Catholic press is particularly active in the discussion, the leftist one shows a less significant role in taking a position on the issue.

This research draws a parallel line between the Conferences of Medellín and Puebla regarding the pastoral usage of the Bible. In order to reach this goal, the text presents an overview of the socio-political-economic-ecclesial elements encountered in the two Conferences of the Latin American Episcopate. At the same time, the research focuses on the content of the final documents of these Conferences. Aware of the context and content of the documents of the two conferences it is reported what appears to them as guidelines for the use of the Bible. It also presents how these orientations reverberate ideas that, ultimately, go back to Vatican II. Finally, a parallel between the two is sought to give evidence of the continuity and discontinuity regarding guidelines for the use of the Holy Bible. The perspective of this research approach is of literature review. The text is written trying to contribute historical and theological elements implicit presents in the conclusions of Medellin and Puebla conferences with the purpose of consummating the proposed parallel

Para atingir esse objetivo o texto apresenta uma panorâmica dos elementos sócio-político-econômico-eclesial que secundavam as duas Conferências do Episcopado Latino Americano. Ao mesmo tempo a pesquisa detém-se em apontar o conteúdo dos documentos conclusivos das Conferências. Cientes do contexto e do conteúdo dos documentos das duas conferências é relatado o que delas depreende-se como orientações para o uso da Bíblia. Apresenta-se, ainda, como essas orientações fazem reverberar ideias que, em última análise, remontam ao Vaticano II. Faz-se por fim, um paralelo entre ambas buscando evidenciar continuidade e descontinuidade no que diz respeito as orientações para o uso da bíblia. A perspectiva de abordagem desta pesquisa é a de revisão de literatura. O texto é escrito tentando aportar elementos históricos e teológicos implícitos nas conclusões de Medellín e Puebla com a finalidade de consumar o paralelo proposto

Full textAs it is suggested within the title, the present thesis focuses on the canonicity of the Conference of bishops. It aims to reflect the degree ofauthority of this new specifically Latin Institution. The bishops Conference has become a permanent body, while the Synod of bishops whichwas born in 1965, under Pope Paul VI did not receive this feature. Is the Conference of bishops an expression of episcopal collegiality? TheSecond Vatican Council (1962-1965) was admitted as a component of this collegiality. Vatican II was consecrated and institutionalized(Constitution Lumen Gentium and Decree Christus Dominus), but failed to raise any issue relating to its authority and jurisdiction. The 1969Synod of bishops, whose theme was announced, more precisely lived collegiality, also addressed the question of episcopal conferences. Atthe Synod Assembly, the debate has mainly concerned the means to implement in order to achieve a real and effective cooperation betweenRome and the bishops' conferences, and to ensure greater autonomy to these conferences, without impeding the freedom of the Pope, orundermining the authority of the diocesan bishop. There ensued a greater commitment to the principles which govern, on the one hand, therelationship between the Episcopal Conferences and the Apostolic See, and on the other hand, the links between the different episcopalConferences.But that debate has still not been completely invalidated, especially as it refers to the teaching authority of the Conference of bishops. Thejuridical qualification, in 1983, through the efforts of the latin codification seems to have been insufficient.The Synod of Bishops, in 1985, demonstrates this persistent discomfort. It has formally requested a reassessment of the institution of theConference of bishops: « Since the Episcopal Conferences are particularly useful, even necessary in the current pastoral work of theChurch, we want to study their theological " status " so that in particular the issue of their doctrinal authority would be more clearly anddeeply explained, taking into account what is written in the conciliar Decree Christus Dominus, item N° 38 and in the Code of Canon Law,can. 447 and 753 ». This situation derived to two institutional efforts: an advisory one (The Instrumentum laboris of 1987 of theCongregation for bishops), then another one, a decision (the Motu proprio Apostolos suos 1998). In this last theological standard and juridicalrequalification, Pope John Paul II reaffirms, more decisively, the specificity of the Conference of bishops. This extensive file may seem to beredundant and haunting. Researchers can notice that the problem of authority of the Conference of bishops remains difficult to determine. Infact, are the main parameters of the ecclesial structure not deeply questioned ?

The city became the place itself of new cultures, scenario in which they are gener ated and impose themselves a new language and a new symbology. Sets up a new social structure of the Information Age, a company set up by production networks, power and experiences that build the virtual culture in global flows and that transcend time and space. Incarnated in this context, the Church in light of the Aparecida document is called to rethink deeply and relaunch with fidelity and courage its mission in the new circumstances Latin American and global. It is important to detect dynamics that run through and condition the Church's presence in the city. The pastoral action must be an expression of an understanding of the faith and the Church in the pluralistic and diverse context of today's reality, where the bulk of the city is to organize a genuine dialogue among all social categories. In this dialogue all can claim to force their participation in the city and reach higher levels of commitment, in order to overcome the challenges arising from structures that limit the actions and superficializam relations
A cidade se converteu no lugar próprio das novas culturas, cenário no qual são geradas e se impõem uma nova linguagem e uma nova simbologia. Configura-se uma nova estrutura social da Era da Informação, uma sociedade constituída por redes de produção, de poder e de experiências que constrói a cultura do virtual nos fluxos globais e que transcende o tempo e o espaço. Encarnada neste contexto, a Igreja, à luz do Documento de Aparecida, é chamada a repensar profundamente e a relançar com fidelidade e audácia sua missão nas novas circunstâncias latino-americanas e mundiais. É importante detectar os dinamismos que percorrem e condicionam a presença da Igreja na cidade. A ação pastoral deve ser expressão de uma compreensão da fé e da Igreja no contexto pluralista e diversificado da realidade de hoje, onde o essencial da cidade consiste em organizar um diálogo verdadeiro entre todas as categorias sociais. Neste diálogo todos poderão reivindicar com força a sua participação na cidade e o alcance de níveis mais elevados de comprometimento, em vista de superar os desafios advindos de estruturas que limitam as ações e superficializam as relações

Full textThe aim of the thesis is to investigate the years passed in Venice by Albino Luciani, years not exhaustively studied by historiography and on which historical memory is still divided. The main evidence is the difficulty not only of Luciani, but also of all personalities who had leadership roles and responsibilities within the Church, in measuring itself with the realization of the Second Vatican Council. The interpretative hypothesis is that the main theme of all the pastoral work of the patriarch of Venice was an effort of fidelity to the Roman tradition and papal authority even through the modernization of the pastoral methods. The patriarch of Venice was particularly representative of a whole national Montinian episcopate which carried out in Italy the Council reception according to the hermeneutic proposed by Paul VI. The survey, comparing the plan of homiletics and the plan of the real pastoral options implemented, examines entirely Luciani’s work, from the diocesan activities to his contribution to regional, national and international Catholic Church. The thesis uses as sources important unpublished material retrieved in nine historical archives and in various personal archives. Finally, the thesis is accompanied with a wide and interesting appendix that contains the interviews with twenty chosen witnesses.
