Rites Of Initiation

At the end of the third session of the Second Vatican Council in 1963, the bishops were able to make a beginning to their legislative work by promulgating two documents which they fondly hoped would be uncontroversial: the unremarkable Decree on Mass Media, and the much more consequential Constitution on the Liturgy. Among the principles for the revision of the Roman Catholic Church’s sacraments contained in the second of these documents, instructions are given for the revision of the rites of initiation, including the following: The catechumenate for adults is to be restored [instauretur] and broken up into several steps [gradibus], and put into practice at the discretion of the local ordinary. In this way the time of the catechumenate, which is intended for appropriate formation, can be sanctified through liturgical rites to be celebrated successively at different times. In mission territories, in addition to what is available in the Christian tradition, it should also be permitted to incorporate ceremonies [elementa] of initiation which are found to be customary in each society, provided they can be adapted to the Christian rite.

This chapter charts the history of Catholicism’s feminist theology. It begins with an overview of contexts that contributed to the development of Catholic feminist theology, with particular emphasis on the role of the Second Vatican Council (1963–1965) in the surge of feminist theological dialogue that began in the Catholic Church in the 1960s and 1970s. It then considers various feminist theories that differed in their strategies for overcoming injustice against women, especially the first-, second-, and third-wave feminisms. It also examines Catholic feminist theology’s viewpoints on the methodological concerns of hermeneutics, language, and praxis, along with its interpretation of Scripture and Christian history, what language we should be using to name and call upon the God in whom we believe, Jesus’ redemption of humanity from sin; Mary and the saints; Trinity; and creation.

The article covers the development of the idea of ​​patriarchal status in 1945-1962 within the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in the diaspora, focusing mainly on the third wave of Ukrainian emigration. After the Second World War, about 250,000 Ukrainian refugees found themselves in Western Europe (DP camps), from where in 1947-1955, they moved to the countries of North and South America, Western Europe and Australia. The growing role of the Church, which continued to play a significant role in their lives after their resettlement to the countries mentioned above, marked the experience of their stay in the DP camps. The DP camps became a place of a closer rapprochement between Ukrainian Greek Catholics and Orthodox Christians, one consequence of which was the appeals of a Ukrainian Greek Catholic bishops with a proposal to create a joint patriarchate with Ukrainian Orthodox, which would be in unity with Rome. On the other hand, the expansion of the geography of the presence of the UGCC and the founding of new metropolises in Canada and the United States brought to the fore the question of the unity of all structural units of this Church at the global level, which, as some believed, could have been secured by the patriarchal institution. Finally, the patriarchate was considered by the post-war Ukrainian emigration as a means of preserving the unity of the diaspora in the face of assimilation and disintegration. Furthermore, in the future, as an institution that could effectively help the Church revive at home after independence. The last aspect of the patriarchal idea had a significant impact on the emergence of the Ukrainian patriarchal movement, and its closeness to the goals set by the third wave of Ukrainian emigration provided that movement with a high level of massiveness and passionate vigorousness for the movement.

The idea of ​​this very formulation of the topic arose under the influence of the words of Pope Benedict XVI, which he made in his message to the participants of the International Conference "The Second Vatican Council: Perspectives of the Third Millennium" held in Peru in 2006. The Pontiff called the Cathedral the most important church event of the 20th century and called for the correct interpretation of its documents. They have "the source of genuine renewal", which can be used to answer the challenges of the Church and humanity in the Third Millennium1. A similar opinion was expressed in his interview and about. Michael Dymid: "It is possible to evaluate the documents, that is, the" transfer "of the Council, when we analyze how their" reception "took place.

Confessional and ecumenical? Revisiting Edmund Schlink on the hermeneutics of doctrineConrad Wethmar has always been interested in questions concerning the hermeneutics of doctrine, often concentrating on methodological issues regarding the role of confessions and the challenges of ecumenical theology. For this purpose, he consistently engaged with German-speaking Lutheran theologians. In this essay, the important views and contributions of Edmund Schlink regarding confessional and ecumenical theology are called to mind, as one further potential dialogue partner for South African theologians like Wethmar. A first section reminds readers of Wethmar’s contributions. The second section recalls Schlink’s theological journey and the role of confessions – both Lutheran confessions and the Confessing Church with Barmen – as well as the ecumenical church – several real dialogues between major confessional traditions, including his role during the Second Vatican Council – before the third sections draws some of his major methodological insights and contributions together. A brief final section points to some potential similarities between Schlink’s work and Wethmar’s interests.

The 19Th Century

The purpose of this article is to explore an aspect of the Catholic theology of the 19th century which is relatively unknown: namely the Roman School and Carlo Passaglia’s position within it. This contribution is focused on presenting the main theological treatise of Carlo Passaglia (1812–87), De Ecclesia Christi (1853–56), an unprecedented work in the context of 19th-century theology, from which a Trinitarian ecclesiology, rooted in the economy of salvation, emerges. The article will be divided into three parts: the first will provide a brief outline of the Roman School, which played a significant role in the theology of the 19th century; the second will offer a biography of Passaglia; finally, the third will focus on the De Ecclesia and will present a basic survey of the whole monograph in order to highlight the most significant aspects of Passaglia’s ecclesiology. Moreover, this contribution will seek to emphasize that several aspects of Passaglia’s Trinitarian ecclesiology went on to be developed by the Second Vatican Council, particularly in Lumen Gentium.

John Paul II’s care for seminaries falls within the implementation of the broadly understood teaching framework of the Second Vatican Council. In his numerous addresses and documents on the subject of becoming a priest the Pope reinterpreted the Council documents in a way which was attuned to modern times. He did this, since he wanted seminarians, who are educated to fulfill and continue the mission of Christ himself, to be properly prepared to take on the legacy and teachings of the Council in the third millennium of Christendom. John Paul II describes seminaries as educational collectivity “on the way” constituting a certain continuation of Christ’s disciples’ collectivity, whose experience determines the seminary’s identity and its normative ideal.

Síntese: A hipótese dessa reflexão é a Renovação Carismática Católica (RCC) como movimento pós-conciliar. Mas o Concílio que renovou a Igreja é apenas uma referência remota para o movimento carismático ou, de fato, é também uma bússola de orientação de seus rumos? No horizonte dos mais de 50 anos pós-concílio e na celebração do jubileu de ouro do movimento, o artigo propõe-se, primeiramente, fazer a memória das três grandes fases da RCC, sobretudo no Brasil: gênese, evolução e consolidação. Em um segundo momento, o artigo mostra a apreciação geral do movimento, tanto por parte da hierarquia eclesiástica, quanto dos teólogos, ao longo desses 50 anos de existência. Em terceiro lugar, o Autor propõe um discernimento em forma de balanço, ponderando entre as contribuições da RCC e os principais questionamentos feitos ao movimento. Enfim, Pedro Rubens retoma sua hipótese com base nas orientações conciliares e nos apelos do Papa Francisco à RCC, indicando, assim, uma agenda aberta ao futuro, tendo o concílio Vaticano II como referência e bússola.Palavras-chave: Renovação Carismática Católica. Jubileu RCC. Vaticano II.Abstract: The hypothesis of this reflection is the Catholic Charismatic Renovation (RCC) as a post-conciliar movement. But is the council which renewed the Church only a remote reference for the Charismatic movement, or is it, in fact, also a compass of orientation for its course? In the light of more than 50 years passed since the closing of the council and of the celebration of the golden jubilee of the movement, the article proposes, in the first place, to recall the three big phases of RCC, principally in Brazil: genesis, evolution and consolidation. In a second part, the article shows the general appreciation of the movement as well by the ecclesiastic hierarchy as by theologians during these 50 years of its existence. In the third place, the author proposes a judgement in the form of a balance, reflecting the contributions of the RCC and the principal questionings of the movement. Lastly, as a conclusion, Pedro Rubens again takes up his hypothesis on the basis of the orientations of the council, and principally remembering the last appeals of Pope Francis to the RCC, thus indicating an appointment book open to the future, which has the Second Vatican Council as reference and compass, as it should be regarded by all Catholics.Keywords: Catholic Charismatic Renovation.

New Tradition

How does one properly account for the rise of theological ferment in the Third World, when so much of the theological activity in that region is so closely related to what happens (or fails to happen) in the First World? To what extent can the decisions of the Second Vatican Council, or the programs of the World Council of Churches, or the initiatives of the Mission Boards in North America, be given credit for the emergence of Third World theologies? Or how do we explain the paradox that in spite of two decades in the growth and development of local theologies in the Third World, much of the way in which Third World churches conduct their business and their worship still fails to reflect such developments? Who sets the priorities for theology in the Third World? What is the procedure for its validation and official acceptance? When does the local church know that it is safe to shift from the received tradition to the new tradition? All these are questions of farreaching significance, for they bear on the very heart of authentic Christianity as it is proclaimed and practised in the Third World. Third World Christians must determine for themselves when and how they will theologize in their own language, in which they were born (Acts 2.8). Third World theologians have stepped out in front and have taken some initiatives for themselves, and among themselves.
