Ethnic conflicts characterise much of Africa today. While Christian values are expected to foster national cohesion and identity, more often than not, Christianity has provided a convenient and effective rallying point around which ethnic conflicts are mobilised. This writer adopts a historical perspective to interrogate negative ethnicity and the Church in Africa using illustrations from Kenya. She challenges the Church to ‘re-route’ its mission for ‘love, justice and real humanity lived by Christ and based on him’ (Okolo).

Doctrinal discipline is a necessary concomitant of ministerial accountability and ecclesial integrity. When there is division in the Church the consequence of that division is expressed in articles or confessions of faith which, in the words of the Declaration of Assent, indicate how that Church ‘bears witness’ to the Christian Gospel and the faith once delivered to the saints.

O antigo arcebispo de Diamantina, Dom Geraldo de Proença Sigaud (1909-1999), foi uma importante e controversa figura histórica da Igreja brasileira contemporânea. De fato, Sigaud teve um papel marcante nas polêmicas que permeavam a Igreja dos anos 1930 até 1980. Além do mais, o arcebispo foi um dos mais importantes agentes catalisadores da minoria no Concílio Vaticano II (1962- 1965), congregando em torno de si bispos de tendências conservadoras de todo o mundo a fim de bloquear os impulsos de reforma que vinham se estabelecendo desde o primeiro período conciliar. Dessa forma, a partir de um olhar histórico, o presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a atuação de D. Sigaud no Vaticano II, suas relações com a TFP (Associação para a Defesa da Tradição, Família e Propriedade) na ocasião do Concílio e demonstrar alguns momentos da atuação do Coetus Internationalis Patrum, grupo que funda com outros bispos a fim de organizar a minoria conciliar e influenciar as determinações finais do concílio.Abstract: The late Archbishop of Diamantina, Don Geraldo de Proença Sigaud (1909-1999) was an important and controversial historical figure in the contemporary Brazilian Church. Indeed, Sigaud played a remarkable role in the polemical issues that pervaded the Church from the 1930s until 1980. Moreover, the Archbishop was one of the most important catalytic agents of the minority in the Vatican II Council (1962-1965), congregating around himself bishops with conservative tendency from all over the world in order to block the reform impetuses that were establishing themselves from the earliest conciliar period. Thus, from a historical perspective, the present article aims at presenting D. Sigaud’s actions at the Vatican II, his relations with the TFP (Association for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property) at the time of the Council and to show some moments in the acting of the Coetus Internationalis Patrum, a group that Sigaud founded with other bishops in order to organize the Council’s minority and influence its final decisions.

Knowledge Organization has been generated primarily within universities. The university will establish that space which states and defines each knowledge and organizes all disciplines. It is necessary to address a genealogical and historical perspective of universities to analyze and identify the artificiality of our concepts, knowledge and classifications. The origin of the University dates back to the Middle Ages, the first University was in Córdoba, and how this institution influenced decisively in the knowledge that encouraged and organized themselves. In late Western Middle Ages, the organization of knowledge in universities is at the service of the Church. The modern world is going to separate the doctrine of the Church from University knowledge. And, subsequently, in various periods that there was a suppression of freedoms it has reversed immediately in the scientific content itself and in the bias that has characterized it. The construction and structuring of knowledge requires, as a fundamental value, a context of freedom. Globalization contributes to deconstruct organizations among knowledge while the technocratic discourse is imposed over other discourses and also over the critical capacity to develop global approaches. The university develops a performative discourse, that is the discourse itself producing the event to talk, words, language and classifications create reality. That is why scientific discourse is performative and shapes the knowledge itself. In the University context one must raise divergent approaches against existing systems and the dominant paradigms of thought. Thus the University has to fulfill a key role in stimulating critical thought. The University must pursue performing its tasks in freedom. What reports a fragility against the powers that seek to violate as it should have its own sovereignty. The University collects the accumulated knowledge and organizes it. It should question the order of knowledge and propose new models
