Abstract The present study analyses the role of women in the Roman Catholic Church and the main question addressed is: “How do women construct and maintain an adult Catholic identity in the light of social, political, economic and religious changes?” In order to answer this question I began with grounded theory which enabled me to locate my research in the everyday lives of the study participants. In the course of the research I made a methodological shift to an institutional ethnographic approach in order to better understand the women’s lives as Catholics. One of the major tenets of an institutional ethnographic approach is that in modern bureaucratic organisations the authority and instructions of institutions and organisations are carried via the texts they produce. These texts can be written texts or they can be videos, film, etc. Because they carry the authority of the institution or organisation texts have the power to shape people’s lives and co-ordinate their everyday activities with multiple others, without, however, wholly determining them. In common with other major organisations the Roman Catholic Church is a large, worldwide organisation which relies on the texts it produces to carry its instructions and authority into the homes, churches and personal lives of its members. The greatest production of written texts by the Catholic Church in the modern era took place at the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). While many feminist scholars have dismissed the Council proceedings as saying very little about women in particular, I argue that the Councillors’ writings in several major texts have strongly and specifically impacted the lives of contemporary Catholic women. Consequently, while all the texts produced by the bishops at the council can be considered of interest to practising Catholics generally, in this study I have chosen to focus on texts that related to issues that have proved to be of particular interest to the participants of this research study: the role of the laity in the church, Mariology and marriage. In order to carry out the research involved in this study I interviewed thirty women in Australia and thirty women in Ireland between the ages of 55 and 19 years of age. The Australian women immigrated to Australia during the years 1970 and 1997. All of the participants had been baptised into the Roman Catholic Church as babies and they all underwent a similar socialisation process growing up in Ireland.

Após o Concílio Ecumênico II (1962-1965),essas experiências foram reavaliadas, diante da postura de re-direcionamento voltado para a massa popular, uma vez que, o cenário religioso brasileiro mostrava-se pluralista e competitivo, principalmente nos anos de 1980 e 1990. Entre as mudanças ocorridas na Igreja, com base nas diretrizes estabelecidas pelo Concílio Vaticano II (1962-1965), temos: as Comunidades Eclesiais de Base, a Teologia da Libertação e a Renovação Carismática Católica, privilegiada neste trabalho. A tendência e postura desse último Concílio mostrou-se conservadora, quando passou a institucionalizar e normatizar algumas dessas experiências religiosas populares . Numa tentativa de recuperar o processo de construção conservador católico, este trabalho procura estudar a vivência religiosa carismática, através da institucionalização de algumas dessas experiências religiosas moldadas e orientadas pela Renovação Carismática Católica, a partir de uma postura e modelo específicos: os Seminários de Vida no Espírito Santo, que neste trabalho foram apreciados a partir da diocese de Marília- interior do Estado de São Paulo, estudando aqui particularmente a representatividade da cidade de Adamantina (SP) no cenário religioso brasileiro. Representatividade essa demonstrada e interpretada a partir da análise de entrevistas realizadas com um grupo de participantes de seminários, entre os anos de 1997 e 2003, possibilitada através da metodologia oral. / The specifying of the consisting Brazilian Catholicism from the combination of diversified principles of religious systems, and through the organization of this society attributes to it specific characteristics, has guaranteed the survival of an ample and varied fan of religious experiences. After Ecumenical Conciliate II (1962-1965), these experiences had been reevaluated; facing the position of re-aiming directed toward the popular mass, once, the Brazilian religious scene revealed pluralism and competitiveness, mainly in the years of 1980 and 1990. Among the changes occurred in the Church, based on the lines established for Vatican Conciliate II (1962-1965), we have: the Base Eclectic Communities, the Theology of the Release and the Charismatic Renewal Catholic, outstand in this work. The trend and position of this last one conciliate revealed itself conservative, when it started to institutionalize and to norm some of these popular religious experiences. In an attempt to recover the construction of the c catholic conservative process, this work looks forward to study the charismatic religious experience, through the institutionalization of some of these religious experiences molded and guided by the Charismatic Renewal Catholic, from a specific position and model: the Seminaries of Life in the Holly Spirit, that in this work had been appreciated from the church in Marília- a country city in the State of São Paulo, studying here particularly the representative ness of Adamantina city (SP) in the Brazilian religious scene. Representation here, demonstrated and interpreted from the analysis of interviews carried through with a group of participants of seminaries, among the years of 1997 and 2003, made possible through the verbal methodology.

[pt] Ao longo de sua história, a Igreja sempre compreendeu sua missão também como educativa. Educar é anunciar o que recebe e o que vive em sua missão no mundo. O Concílio Vaticano II marca a história deste processo pelo qual a Igreja atualiza a compreensão de si e de sua responsabilidade com o bem comum, através da aprendizagem que a aproxima da humanidade como família. Em sua universalidade, o Concílio coloca a Igreja numa perspectiva de diálogo com todas as realidades, favorecendo projetos que envolvem valores universais. A história é compreendida como tempo de atuação da Palavra de Deus mediado dialogicamente nas culturas. A educação, direito universal do cidadão, tem o amor como condutor. É sistematizada em princípios que consideram sua caminhada e seu fim último. A família, seguida do leigo na escola, fazem parte indispensável e irrenunciável da missão do Corpo de Cristo, na medida que ambas, família e escola, são chamadas a formar as novas gerações no caminho do Reino. A Igreja, no exercício de sua missão, conscientiza-se da identidade educativa, e essa consciência possui uma perspectiva histórica, desenvolvendo-se no seu agir através de sua pastoral no mundo. Conforme a concepção atual de educação, a Igreja, ao mesmo tempo em que aprende, ensina. Ao mesmo tempo em que ensina, aprende, em processo dialógico contínuo (GS 40). / [en] From age to age, the Church has always understood its mission as educational too. Educating is to announcing what you receive and live in yours mission in the world. The Second Vatican Council marks the history of this process in which the Church modernizes the understanding of itself and its responsability for the common good, through the learning that brings it doser to humanity as a family. In its universality, the Council places the Church in a perspective of dialogue with all realities, favoring projects that involve universal values. History is understood as the time of the Word of God mediated dialogically in cultures. Education, universal right of the citizen, has love as its conductor. It is sistematized in principales which consider its walk and its last end. The family, followed by the layman in school, are an indispensable part of the mission of the body of Christ, to the extent that both, family and school, are called to make new generations on the path of the Kingdom. Church, in the exercise of its mission, is aware of the educational identity, and this consciousness has a historical perspective, developing itself in its action through its pastoral in the world. According to the current conception of education, Church, at the same time that it learns, it teaches. At the same time it teaches, learns, in a continuous dialogical process (GS 40).

La synodalité paraît être aujourd’hui un thème très actuel, tant pour le dialogue théologique bilatéral entre les Églises catholique et orthodoxe, qu’à l’intérieur de chaque Église. Le pontificat du pape François a mis l’accent sur la synodalité et l’Église orthodoxe vient de réaliser son Grand et Saint Concile (Crète, juin 2016). Le Concile Vatican II en 1964 a promulgué la doctrine de la collégialité épiscopale (les évêques constituent un collège qui succède au collège des Douze Apôtres), doctrine qui devait rapprocher les ecclésiologies catholique et orthodoxe. Cependant, les théologiens orthodoxes ne se sont pas retrouvés dans cette doctrine. Cinquante ans après sa promulgation, on remarque par ailleurs que la mise en œuvre de la collégialité épiscopale dans l’Église catholique est plutôt limitée. Cette étude a tenté de confronter les notions de collégialité épiscopale et de synodalité épiscopale, en vue d’une compréhension commune, entre catholiques et orthodoxes, de la place des évêques au sein de l’Église entière. Partant du constat que la synodalité épiscopale, comme l’entendent les orthodoxes, ne coïncide pas avec la doctrine de la collégialité épiscopale comme elle a été formulée au concile Vatican II, le présent travail s’est penché sur les fondements de cette dernière, afin de rechercher comment la tradition commune originelle des deux Églises conçoit la synodalité épiscopale. Le retour aux sources communes, à savoir bibliques, patristiques et dogmatiques, est proposé comme la base d’une entente sur les questions du ministère épiscopal et de la synodalité des évêques. Une telle entente s’avère indispensable afin d’aborder d’autres questions controversées, notamment celle de la primauté romaine. / Synodality seems to be a very current topic, both for the bilateral theological dialogue between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, and for each individual Church. The pontificate of Pope Francis has emphasized synodality and the Orthodox Church has just convened its Great and Holy Council (Crete, June 2016). The Second Vatican Council in 1964 promulgated the doctrine of episcopal collegiality (the bishops are organized in a college which succeeds the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles), a doctrine which was to bring closer Catholic and Orthodox ecclesiologies. However, the Orthodox theologians did not appreciate the value of this doctrine. Fifty years after its promulgation, it is also noted that the implementation of episcopal collegiality in the Catholic Church is rather restricted. This research attempts to compare the notions of episcopal collegiality and episcopal synodality, exploring a common understanding between Catholics and Orthodox of the place of the bishops within the whole Church. For Orthodox theologians, episcopal synodality does not coincide with the doctrine of episcopal collegiality, as it was formulated during the Second Vatican Council. This research focused on the common tradition of the two Churches regarding episcopal synodality. The study of common sources, namely biblical, patristic and dogmatic, is proposed as the basis for an agreement on the issue of episcopal ministry and the synodality of bishops. Such an agreement is essential to address other issues, especially that of the Roman primacy.

Située dans les Côtes d’Armor, Boquen est en 1965 une abbaye cistercienne de la commune observance. En 1976, les Petites Sœurs de Bethléem s’y installent avec un objectif précis : y rétablir une vie monastique après la décennie mouvementée que vient de vivre Boquen. L’abbaye s’était en effet métamorphosée en un haut lieu de la contestation catholique en France, voire en symbole de cette contestation.Cette étude se propose d’analyser, sur un mode chronologique, les éléments qui ont concouru à transformer cette petite abbaye en caisse de résonance des attentes de milliers de chrétiens. Elle met ainsi en lumière l’importance du contexte socioreligieux des sixties et des seventies dans l’évolution de Boquen mais aussi le rôle majeur joué par Bernard Besret, le très charismatique prieur de Boquen puis leader de la Communion. Celui-ci a initié un projet communautaire original, la Communion de Boquen, qui allie monachisme, œcuménisme et esprit des sixties. Le 20 août 1969, Bernard Besret prononce une conférence retentissante qui entraine sa destitution. Dès lors, la sanction draine vers l’abbaye toute l’aile contestataire chrétienne qui va de la gauche à l’extrême gauche. A l’automne 1970, Boquen a pris le leadership des chrétiens en recherche. Les deux années qui suivent confirment son succès. Mais qu’est-ce que Boquen ? En 1973, le déclin s’amorce. Il est aggravé par le départ de Bernard Besret en octobre 1974. A l’automne 1976, cette expérience utopique dans les murs de Boquen s’achève avec l’expulsion de la Communion et de la communauté des résidents qui s’y était établie. / Boquen, located in “ Côtes d’Armor”, is in 1965 a Cistercian abbey of the common observance. In 1976, the Little Sisters of Bethleem settle there with the precise purpose of re-establishing monastic life after the agitated decade that has just come to an end at Boquen. For the abbey had indeed been turned into a prominent place of the catholic protest in France, if not its very symbol. This study proposes an analysis, in a chronological mode, of the elements that have contributed to the transforming of this small abbey into a sounding board for the expectations of thousands of Christians. It thus brings to light the importance played by the socio-religious context of the sixties and seventies upon the evolution of Boquen, and also the major role played by Bernard Besret, the very charismatic Prior of Boquen and later leader of the “Communion”. He initiated an original community project, the Communion of Boquen, which combined monasticism, ecumenism and spirit of the sixties. On August 20th 1969 Bernard Besret gives a resounding conference which brings about his dismissal. From that day, that sanction attracts to the abbey all the christian anti-establishment wing, ranging from left to far left. By the autumn of 1970 Boquen has taken the leadership of the Christians in spiritual quest. The next two years confirm its success. But what is Boquen? In 1973, it starts declining. Things get worse with Bernard Besret’s departure in October 1974. By the autumn of 1976, that utopic experiment within the walls of Boquen comes to an end with the expulsion of the Communion and of the community of residents who had settled there.

In the first essay, I demonstrate that during the 1970s, the marital behavior of US Catholics changed dramatically relative to that of the total population. The Catholic marriage rate, that is, the number of Catholic marriages per 1000 Catholics, decreased nearly 20 percent relative to the civil marriage rate. Before and after this time period, the two rates moved in unison. Empirically, I find that the Catholic reforms and encyclicals of the 1960s, that is, Vatican II and Humanae Vitae, led to a decrease in the Catholic marriage rate relative to the civil marriage rate and that the reform of civil divorce law had no effect on this relative rate. In the second essay, I expand the analysis of the previous essay and test whether a negative response among US Catholics to the reforms of Vatican II and to Humanae Vitae is able to explain the increase in the civil marriage rate, the decrease in the Catholic marriage rate, and the increase in the interfaith marriage rate seen in the data. To do this, I construct an original model that treats marriage as a set of two contracts, one civil and one religious, with the benefit and cost of the religious contract depending upon a social complementarity. The theory and the data match if the primary effect of 1960s Catholic reform was to decrease the benefit of a Catholic marriage. In the third essay, I examine the link between religiosity and the incidence of domestic abuse and model sanctification as the pathway connecting the two. Sanctification is "a psychological process through which aspects of life are perceived by people as having spiritual character or significance"[25]. In the model, the abuser must his choose level of abuse, and both abuser and abused must allocate a scarce amount of time between the production of a marital good and a personal consumption good. Sanctification is modeled as an increase in the return to time invested in the marital good. Theoretically, abuse increases in both spouses' level of sanctification and the wife's productivity and decreases in the husband's productivity. This partially agrees with the data. / text

Que la question du développement soit une question qui intéresse la théologie est aujourd’hui une évidence pour les théologiens. Depuis le Concile Vatican II, à l’exception de Jean Paul I, les papes successifs ont consacré chacun une encyclique entière à la question du développement. Ces encycliques abordent le développement comme une question à la fois économique, politique, sociale et surtout théologique et morale. Notre thèse cherche à répondre à une question historique très pertinente pour la pensée théologique en ce qui concerne le développement : Comment le développement est-t-il devenu une question théologique ? Quel est le processus qui a permit au développement de prendre une place importante dans la théologie ? Nous avons fait une étude du document principal qui a permis à l'église d’entrer en dialogue avec le monde et ses problèmes : La Constitution pastorale sur l'église dans le monde de ce temps Gaudium et spes. Nous avons montré comment les Pères conciliaires ont pu, à partir de leur travail au Concile, mettre en marche une dynamique en faveur du développement et de là ont pu élaborer un enseignement théologique sur le développement. Le sujet qui a conditionné tout le débat sur le développement est l’homme et son bien-être, l’homme créé par Dieu et qui collabore avec Dieu pour achever sa création. Une approche à la fois historique et théologique nous a permis de donner à notre thème un contenu précis et à élaborer ce qu’on peut désigner comme une théologie du développement. / For most theologians today, it goes without saying that development is a theological question. Since after the second Vatican Council, with the exception of Pope John-Paul I, all the other popes published an encyclical letter on development. Each of these encyclicals treats development as economic, political, social and especially theological question. Our research is an attempt to respond to a very important historical question for theological thought: How did development become a theological question? What processes led to its becoming a current and important theological issue? To respond to the above questions, we studied the principal document through which the Church entered into dialogue with the world during the second Vatican Council: The Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the modern world Gaudium et spes. The council Fathers, in the said documents, gave development an elaborate theological treatment. All the debate on development in the Council was dominated by the consideration for man and his well-being; man created by God and called by him to continue collaborating with him in his work of creation. By using a historical and theological approach, we were able to give to our theme a reasonable elucidation. This method also helped us to elaborate what could be designated as a theology of development.
