De ses antiques origines à son actualité postmoderne du XXIe siècle, le christianisme est traversé par deux phénomènes, en tensions variables et complexes, d’empathie et de vigilance à l’égard de la raison et de la science : ici des vigilances critiques l’emportent sur la considération pour la légitime autonomie de la raison et de la science, là un respect théologal et éthique tend à présider dans l’économie de différentes formes et phases d’estimes critiques pour l’autonomie de la raison et de la science. Sciences affranchies des théologies, sciences excellant en performances du savoir et de techniques, mais sciences modernes et contemporaines non épargnées par les errances du naturalisme, du nominalisme, du scientisme, des positivismes réducteurs, ou de politisations idéologiques.Malgré un conflit, loin d’être résolu, concernant la querelle antimoderniste, les conciles généraux Vatican I (1869-1870 : Constitution Dei Filius, chapitre IV) et Vatican II (1962-1965 : Constitution Gaudium et Spes, 36) font date : l’un rappelle la légitimité des domaines propres à la raison et aux scientificités, l’autre bénéficie de la progression en théologie de l’historicité pour contempler la tradition de l’autonomie des réalités terrestres. Avec quels instruments d’abord canoniques, est conjuguée la mission d’Église de sauvegarde du caractère catholique romain de ses propres universités, par exemple, et sa protection – certes conditionnelle - des cultures, des sciences, des scientifiques ?<br>From 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 ?

The design of the complex addresses Roman Catholic and pre-Christian legends, symbols, and signs. It transforms them based on our understandings of ourselves and our universe today. Saint Barbara is a Roman Catholic Church located on a suburban site in Chantilly, Virginia on the eastern coast of the United States of America. Chantilly was chosen because it has been victimized by a lack of comprehensive planning. The complex is composed of a bell tower, baptistry, Sunday school, sanctuary, outdoor funeral chapel, cemetery, and parking area. The church of Saint Barbara addresses the dichotomy of human existence as both spiritual and material being.<br>Master of Architecture

This thesis is about the exploration of two distinct theological disciplines and the hope of finding conciliatory mediation between them. The Roman Catholic Church as hierarchical Institution is one side while Christian feminism within that context is on the other. Rosemary Radford Ruether has been chosen to state the Christian feminist case while certain selected documents and teachings of the Church have been chosen to portray Roman Catholic tradition and teaching. The theological mediation point between the two is to be found particularly in one aspect of Marian theology. However, it is not possible simply to claim that theological conciliation is to be found in Marian theology without first stressing that this discipline in itself is fraught with difficulties which have accumulated throughout the centuries. Therefore, it has been necessary to divide Marian theology into three different classifications. These have been built into the thesis and are known as theatypology, christatypology and ecclesiatypology respectively. An outline and explanation of the tradition that gave rise to the introduction of these typologies is explained and justified in the text. Specifically within the ecclesiatypical context it will be shown that certain theological aspects are found which are common to the normally opposing patriarchal and feminist disciplines.
