It was certainly a primary concern of the Second Vatican Council, facing the Third World in a post-colonial era, to show a maximum respect for humanity's invincible cultural pluralism (GS, 44, 58). Hence the emphasis on the primordial and unique missionary principle of incarnation, is derived directly from the scandalous belief that God became one of us in everything except sin (cf Heb. 2:14-18; 4:15). The Christian understanding of the relationship between God and humankind is dominated by this incarnationcd theme, which takes seriously the meaning of finitude, flesh and history. The incarnational self-donation, through which humanity is embraced from within, involved an incomprehensible self-emptying (cf. Phil 2:6-8). In giving himself to us in this intrinsic manner the divine Logos discounts his divinity and humbles himself that he might become truly one of us. Jesus of Nazareth is not a disguise used by God, not a human outer garment covering the divinity, not something foreign to what we are. / Systematic Theology / M.Th. (Systematic Theology)

The Prefecture of Pella bought Heirachabis in 1895 and occupied it in 1898. This marked the beginning of the Mission in the South. The Oblates of Mary Immaculate officially started on 8 December 1896. They were allowed to minister among the Europeans and among Africans, not ministered to by a Protestant Mission. The first expansion was at Klein Windhoek, and at Swakopmund being the gateway to the Protectorate. The Tswana invited the Mission to help them after they had arrived from the Cape. Aminuis and Epukiro were founded. After 1905 the Mission was allowed to open stations among the Herera and Damara. Doebra, Gobabis, Usakos, Omaruru, and Okombahe were the result. Seven expeditions were undertaken to reach Kavango. After many failures the first mission became a reality at Nyangana in 1910. Just before the war the expansion reached Grootfontein, Tsumeb and Kokasib. In the South missions were opened at Warmbad, Gabis, Keetmanshoop, Luederitz and Gibeon. World War I scattered the African population of the towns which disturbed the missionary work. The S. A. Administration allowed most missionaries to stay. After the Peace Conference S. W. A. became a Mandate of S. A. In 1924 permission was granted to enter Owambo. The first station was opened in Ukuambi, later followed by Ombalantu and Okatana. In 1926 the Prefecture of Lower Cimbebasia was elevated to the Vicariate of Windhoek, while the Prefecture of Great Namaqualand became the Vicariate of Keetmanshoop in 1930. World War II left the missionary activities undisturbed. In 1943 Magistrate Trollop in Caprivi invited the Catholic Mission in 1943 to come and open educational and health facilities. The South expanded into Stampriet, Witkrans, Aroab, Mariental. The election victory in 1948 in South Africa of the Afrikaner Parties with the resulting apartheid legislation negatively affected the missions in S. W. A. After 1965 the influence of Vatican II became noticeable, while the pressure of the United Nations Organisation moved the territory towards independence. While initially the Catholic Church had been very cautious, in the ?O's and 80's she took a very definite stand in favour of human rights. She also became a full member of the CCN. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)

This thesis has two aims. Firstly, in order to answer the question, ‘In what sense do people see Mary as a type of the Church?’, this thesis will set up original typological models of the relationship between Mary and the Church (chapter 1). It will then demonstrate how and why an eschatological element came to be present in these models (chapter 2).It will be a contention of this thesis that looking at the Mario-ecclesial discussions set out in chapters 3 and 4 through these typological models will allow a greater depth of analysis. The models allow one to discern differences between and nuances in various views of the relationship between Mary and the Church that would be impossible to discern if one were using just the language of ‘type’. Secondly the thesis will show how each Mario-ecclesial discussion has been affected by the socio-political context of the time. Specifically, the thesis will analyse the Mario-ecclesial discussions of the patristic, medieval and modern periods in the light of the typological models. In chapter 1, the patristic Mario-ecclesiologies of Irenaeus and Ambrose will be considered. In chapter 2, Bernard of Clairvaux will be used to analyse the eschatological nature of the Mario-ecclesiology in the medieval period. In chapter 3, the contrasting Mario-ecclesiologies of the Second Vatican Council and Hans Urs von Balthasar will be compared. In chapter 4, it will be suggested that John Paul’s model of the Mario-ecclesial relationship was based on his eschatological vision for the Church and the role that Mary plays in that future which is both imminent and already realised. This thesis will demonstrate that by using the typological models in these periods a greater depth of analysis can be achieved. This will be particularly true of the complex and nuanced discussions on Mary in the Roman Catholic Church in the twentieth century. This analysis will culminate in the particular Mariology of John Paul II.

Annotation: The thesis Roman Catholic Church and the ecumenical movement since the end of II. World War II until the end of the pontificate of John Paul II. discusses the efforts that were made in Roman Catholic Church toward the ecumenical movement after World War II. The content of this thesis describes different pontificates, characteristics of popes and their impact on ecumenism. It also gives the definition of the ecumenical movement and its development. In the third chapter, this thesis analyzes II. Vatican Council and its ecumenical approchement with the terms of the Roman Catholic Church with other Christian churches.

The thesis, on the background of biblical and historical origins, gathers some of the present theological views, formed in particular by the papal documents that commend on marriage. It emphasizes the essential elements of this sacrament, with regards to their comprehensibility to the present recipients. It also deals with the problematic situations arising after the disintegration of the sacramental bond, and mentions possible approaches to addressing the issue of birth control. It also reflects some of the critical views and compares them with the Church's current teaching, in order to indicate the desirable plurality of views containing the potential for future solutions to the conflicts that have arisen. Specific attention is paid to the integration of Catholic Christians living in illegitimate relationships into full communion with the Church and the resulting tasks of particular Catholic communities.

There, already in those brief minutes of his appearance, he draws attention by his gestures, by the way of his speaking, actig and mainly, by the way of being close to people. Still on that memorable day, Francis points to an way that, although not explicitly, becomes central in his ministry: Collegiality. This is noticeable at the moment when he calls himself bishop of Rome and calls the cardinals of brothers. Francis's words point to Collegiality. However, only a deeper inquiry is able to discover whether, in fact, Francis is a pope who lives the collegial spirit in his family and ministerial base. The present dissertation sought to know the theoretical and theological bases of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the ecclesiological paths covered by him, regarding Collegiality. This work had, among other things, the intention of discovering if the experiences of Jorge Mario Bergoglio before the election contributed to the collegial tone present in the documents of Francis. For this, the research sought to show the roots of Collegiality present not only in the moment of the Second Vatican Council, but also the aspects of its reception in the different continents, particulary in Latin American soil, of which Bergoglio is a beloved son. It was too important to know the biographical-existential roots of the future archbishop of Buenos Aires. Recognizing such aspects of Bergoglio, it will be easier to discover who, in fact, is Francis and what his thoughts are for the Church and her mission / O papa Francisco vem surpreendendo o mundo desde sua chegada à sacada mais importante do Vaticano naquele 13 de março de 2013, quando fora eleito Sumo Pontífice da Igreja Católica. Ali, já naqueles breves minutos de sua aparição, chama a atenção seja pelos gestos, pela maneira de falar e agir e, principalmente, pela maneira de se fazer próximo às pessoas. Ainda naquele dia memorável, Francisco aponta para um eixo que, embora não explicitamente, passa a ser central em seu ministério: a Colegialidade. Isso é perceptível já no momento em que ele se denomina como bispo de Roma e chama os cardeais de irmãos. As palavras de Francisco apontam para a Colegialidade. Entretanto, somente uma averiguação mais profunda é capaz de descobrir se, de fato, Francisco é um papa que vive o espírito colegial desde sua base familiar e ministerial. A presente dissertação buscou conhecer as bases teóricas e teológicas de Jorge Mario Bergoglio, os caminhos eclesiológicos percorridos por ele, no que tange a Colegialidade. Esse trabalho teve, dentre outras coisas, o intuito de descobrir se as experiências de Jorge Mario Bergoglio anteriores à eleição contribuíram para a tônica colegial presente nos documentos de Francisco. Para tanto a pesquisa procurou mostrar as raízes da Colegialidade presentes não só no momento do Concílio Vaticano II, como os aspectos de sua recepção nos diferentes continentes, particularmente em solo latino-americano, do qual Bergoglio é um dileto filho. Demasiado importante se mostrou o conhecimento das raízes biográfico-existenciais do futuro arcebispo de Buenos Aires. Reconhecendo tais aspectos de Bergoglio, com mais facilidade se descobrirá quem, de fato é Francisco e quais são seus pensamentos para a Igreja e sua missão

Stands out, in the interim, the anthropological foundation, which unfolds the theological and doctrinal, setting up religious freedom as the apogee of all freedoms. The goal of this work is develop the theme process of genesis, establish the conceptual definition and present the discussion about religious freedom. This, through a phenomenological analysis that ends at the historical and theological hermeneutic of the conciliar periods before Preparatory, Preparatory and of the four Sessions of Vatican II and the Magisterium of the documents of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries which treated theme. The text is structured in a systematic way in four chapters. The first constitutes status quaestionis by presenting the context of religious freedom theme of development in magisterial documents prior to Dignitatis humanae, as well as the positioning of the Magisterium ecclesiastic, that of religious intolerance, passes to tolerance and affirmation of the right to freedom religious. The second and third chapters cover the doctrinal content of this Declaration in their immediate environment, the Second Vatican Council. They present the process of genesis of religious conception of freedom expressed in the text of the Declaration Dignitatis humanae, exposing and already analyzing the several thematic stages and redaction until it reaches the final version of the Declaration and the conception of the right to religious freedom. The fourth chapter presents the legal ramifications, theological, anthropological and ethical prospective to Dignitatis humanae. Framework that enables our understanding of the phenomenon of religious plurality in terms of a possible horizon not only to theological reflection, but also to religious studies, to infer from the declaration concerning the situations design of a theology of religions and theology of religious pluralism; whose religious language provides contribution to constitution of the States of democratic rights, which in turn has the function of protecting and promote religious freedom. The theme of religious freedom gives new perspective to the free practice of religion and opens wide dialogic engagement between the Catholic Church, other Christian churches, other religions, people "without religion" and other "good will". / A Declara??o Dignitatis humanae do Conc?lio Vaticano II apresenta doutrinariamente a concep??o de liberdade religiosa fundamentada na dignidade da pessoa humana.

The subject is shown relevant in so far as the document has recently completed its fifty years and is still little studied even by the Catholic hierarchy. At the same time, it is important to try to understand not only the acceptance of secularization but also how the tumultuous relationship between Church and modernity has taken place. We proceed from the hypothesis that every condemnation made by the ecclesiastical magisterium against the modern world loses its relevance with Gaudium et spes, since it brings within it the acceptance of modernity as being positive even for the Catholic Church. The research consists of a bibliographical analysis based not only on the prominent authors who have already worked on the theme, but also on primary sources such as diaries of Conciliar Fathers and the Constitution itself, which makes a greater contribution to the studies on the Council and the Pastoral Constitution. With the development of the research, we believe that Gaudium et spes followed in the opposite direction to the teaching that preceded it and, therefore, was responsible for the establishment of a new, essentially secular, Catholic imaginary / A presente tese tem como objeto a Constituição Pastoral Gaudium et spes e busca compreender como a mesma contribuiu para a secularização interna do catolicismo, alterando o modo como a Igreja Católica se relaciona com o mundo moderno. O tema se mostra bastante relevante na medida em que o documento completou recentemente seus cinquenta anos e ainda é pouco estudado até mesmo pela hierarquia católica. Ao mesmo tempo, mostra-se importante por tentar compreender não apenas a aceitação da secularização, mas também como se deu a tumultuada relação entre Igreja-modernidade. Partimos da hipótese de que toda condenação feita pelo magistério eclesiástico contra o mundo moderno perde sua relevância com a Gaudium et spes uma vez que essa trás em seu interior a aceitação da modernidade como sendo positiva até mesmo para a Igreja Católica. A pesquisa consiste em uma análise bibliográfica fundamentada não apenas nos autores de destaque que já trabalharam com o tema, mas também com fontes primárias, como diários de Padres Conciliares e a própria Constituição o que confere uma contribuição maior para os estudos sobre o Concílio e a Constituição Pastoral. Com o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, acreditamos comprovar que a Gaudium et spes seguiu na direção contrária ao magistério que a antecedeu e, com isso, foi responsável pelo estabelecimento de um novo imaginário católico, fundamentalmente secular

[pt] A palavra mistério, nascida dentro do ambiente cultual grego, entrou na Sagrada Escritura já nas traduções do Antigo Testamento em relação aos termos râz e sôd, respectivamente, em aramaico e hebraico, recebendo assim uma carga semântica teológica dentro das concepções do Povo da primeira Aliança. Por conseguinte, o Novo Testamento, sobretudo as cartas paulinas, faz um abundante uso do termo mistério. Numa linha progressiva de elaboração do conceito de mistério na Sagrada Escritura, ele é a revelação do plano salvífico de Deus Pai em Jesus Cristo através de etapas sucessivas e concatenadas. A teologia patrística, recebendo da tradição bíblica o conceito de mistério, vai desenvolvê-lo quanto as suas mediações no momento eclesial em quatro direções interdependentes: a História Salvífica, a Igreja, a Palavra de Deus e a Liturgia. Na primeira metade do século XX, em virtude do afastamento da teologia das fontes bíblico-patrísticas, o monge beneditino Odo Casel reintroduzirá na reflexão teológico-litúrgico o conceito de mistério, recuperando seu vigor fontal. Esta recuperação, apesar de sofrer uma série de críticas, paulatinamente vai sendo incorporada nos documentos magisteriais. Neste movimento, a Constituição Dogmática Sacrosanctum Concilium é o documento basilar e paradigmático na reintrodução da teologia do mistério pela Igreja. De fato, as intuições mistéricas dos Padres conciliares recolhidas neste documento vão sendo desenvolvidas nas demais Constituições do Concilio Vaticano II, legando a Igreja de hoje uma fecunda herança para repensar sua prática teológico-pastoral. / [en] The word mystery has had born inside of greek cultual ambience and it has been introduced by the translators in the Holy Scriptures translations from Old Testament in order to translate the words râz and sôd, respectively, in Aramaic and Hebrew idioms, receiving their semantic charge according to First Alliance People faith. Posteriorly, the New Testament, especially the Pauline letters, used widely the word mystery. In the progressive development inside of the Scripture Text, the concept of mystery means the revelation of the God Father salvation plan by Jesus Christ through successive and concatenated stages. The patristic theology, receiving the concept of mystery from biblical tradition, continued developing it as its interdependent mediations in the ecclesial stage: the History of Salvation, the Church, the Word of God and the Liturgy. In the first half of the century XX, because of the distance from theology to biblical and patristic sources, the benedictine monk Odo Casel reintroduced the concept the mystery in the theological and liturgical reflections, recovering its source strength. This recovering, in spite of critical positions, little by little, was incorporated by ecclesial works. In this incorporation, the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy is the primary and paradigmatic work at reintroducing of the theology of the mystery by the Church. Indeed, council Fathers mysterical insights, written in the Sacrosanctum Concilium, developed on the others Constitution from the Vatican Council II, providing the current church a rich heritage in order to criticize its theological and pastoral practices.
