A partir desse grupo, frei Eurico construiu uma estrutura e metodologia, tendo como base a Teoria da Organização Humana, proposta por Antônio Rubbo Müller, e o Movimento de Criatividade Comunitária, proposto por Waldemar de Gregori. A experiência da JUFRA ponta-grossense foi escolhida como modelo a ser implantado em todo o Brasil. O período de 1970 a 1980 é o recorte temporal foco deste trabalho, marcado pelas decisões do Concílio Vaticano II e pelo surgimento de novos movimentos jovens. Busca-se compreender como a identidade franciscana da JUFRA foi idealizada pelo frei Eurico e como os jufristas a compreenderam. Para isso, a dissertação apresenta uma reflexão a partir de parte da bibliografia produzida acerca do Concílio Vaticano II, uma análise dos documentos e materiais de formação da JUFRA, mas também uma biografia do frei, a história da instituição do movimento e a compreensão da identidade franciscana dos jufristas pelos documentos e narrativas orais acessadas. Pela análise documental, se percebeu que o ideal de identidade franciscana do movimento Juventude Franciscana, idealizado pelo frei Eurico, pretendia que os jovens desenvolvessem o engajamento nas comunidades paroquiais e na sociedade, maturidade de consciência e autonomia, traçando metas de vida pelo equilíbrio de suas personalidades. A identidade franciscana foi compreendida pelos entrevistados como um estilo de vida baseado no despojamento, na alegria, no engajamento nas comunidades, na organização e na maturidade de consciência. Portanto, tais compreensões convergiram com aquelas presentes nos documentos analisados, mostrando que foram muito marcantes os aprendizados no movimento para os entrevistados. / In 1967, after returning from a period of studies in Italy, Fray Eurico de Mello a Capuchin Friar initiated a new experience of youth movement in Ponta Grossa-PR, linked to OrdemFranciscana Secular (OFS), Juventude Franciscana (JUFRA). From this group, Fray Eurico built a structure and methodology having as basis the Theory of Human Organization proposed by AntônioRubbo Müller and the Movement of Community Creativity proposed by Waldemar de Gregori. The experience of JUFRA in Ponta Grossa was chosen as model to be implemented throughout Brazil. The period of 1970 to 1980 is the temporal cut focused in this piece of work, characterized by decisions made by Second Vatican Council and by the rise of new youth movements. It is tried to understand how Fray Eurico idealized the Franciscan identity of JUFRA and how the “jufristas” understood it. In order to reach it, the thesis presents a reflection made from part of a bibliography produced about the Second Vatican Council, an analysis of the documents and materials of the formation of JUFRA, and a biography of the fray, the history of the institution of the movement and the comprehension of the Franciscan identity of the “jufristas” according to the documents and oral narratives accessed. In accordance with the documents analyzed it was noted that the ideal of the Franciscan identity of the Juventude Franciscana movement idealized by Fray Eurico intended that the young people developed the engagement in the parochial communities and in the society, maturity of consciousness and autonomy, setting life goals through the balance of their personalities. The interviewees understood the Franciscan identity as a lifestyle based on the stripping, joy, engagement to the community, in the organization and in the maturity of consciousness. Such understandings therefore converged with those present in the documents analyzed, showing that the learning opportunities were very strong in the movement for the interviewees.

Aspectos fundamentais da teologia do laicato a partir da exortação apostólica Christifideles Laici

Francisco, Fernando Rodrigues 14 August 2012 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-29T14:27:22Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Fernando Rodrigues Francisco.pdf: 1021739 bytes, checksum: ab3bc9c64b9e949ea9a8a297e5f31df9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-08-14 / This study aims to point out the fundamental elements of the theology of the laity present in the documents of the Magisterium of the Church, in a special way in the apostolic exhortation Christifideles Laici, from the blessed John Paul II. It is known that many of these elements had already been listed by renowned theologians way before the Second Vatican Council. However, it was with the Vatican II that the theology of the laity was consolidated and the laymen began to demand a greater participation in the organization and mission in the Church. In the first chapter we see that this council has established important concepts for understanding the theology of the laity: as 'people of God', 'participation', 'communion', 'common priesthood'. Through baptism all believers are co-responsible in the Church's evangelizing mission. Through this baptism all the faithful are co-responsable in the threefold mission of the church. By this sacrament the laymen faithful become participants of the triple munus of Christ. It is from this participation that spring the fundamental elements that characterize the theology of the laity: leadership, holiness, secular mission, ministries, offices, roles, charisms. The laymen faithful, in communion with the Church, working in the temporal reality and take the Good News of Jesus. In the second chapter we point out the essential elements of the theology of the laity present at apostolic exhortation Christifideles Laici. This post-synodal exhortation stated that the saving mission of the Church is held in the world by all baptized christians. The fundamental new of this exhortation is the act of the laymen in the Church and in the world. The lay aggregation and ecclesial criteria for these forms of associations constitute the heart of Christifideles Laici. In the third chapter we understand that the elements of the theology of the laity, well founded, would be useful not only to substantiate the sacrament of baptism and to solve the pastoral problems of the parishes, but also they would help to clarify the relationship between clergy and laymen, the various ministries and charisms, the various vocations and the sanctification of the laymen in the Church and the world. Finally, we saw the effort that the Church must still be taken in applying the theology of the laity, to be a more effective tool used in the dissemination of Gospel in the world. Much remains to be done for the recognition of the lay ministries and the work together with ordained ministers, however, Christifideles Laici pointed the baptism as a starting for a common mission, since all are members of one body whose head is Christ, into the New Evangelization / Este estudo pretende apontar os elementos fundamentais da teologia do laicato presentes nos documentos do Magistério da Igreja, de forma especial na exortação apostólica Christifideles Laici, do beato João Paulo II. Sabemos que muitos desses elementos já haviam sido elencados por renomados teólogos bem antes do concílio Vaticano II. Porém, foi com o Vaticano II que a teologia do laicato foi consolidada e os leigos começaram a exigir uma maior participação na organização e na missão na Igreja. No primeiro capítulo percebemos que este concílio firmou conceitos importantes para a compreensão da teologia do laicato; como povo de Deus , participação , comunhão , sacerdócio comum . Através do batismo todos os fiéis são corresponsáveis na missão evangelizadora da Igreja. Por este sacramento os fiéis leigos se tornam participantes do tríplice múnus de Cristo. É desta participação que brotam os elementos fundamentais que caracterizam a teologia do laicato: protagonismo, santidade, missão secular, ministérios, ofícios, funções, carismas. Os fiéis leigos, em comunhão com a Igreja, atuam na realidade temporal e levam a Boa-Nova de Jesus. No segundo capítulo expomos os elementos essenciais da teologia do laicato presentes na exortação apostólica Christifideles Laici. Esta exortação pós-sinodal declarou que a missão salvífica da Igreja é realizada no mundo por todos os cristãos batizados. A novidade fundamental desta exortação está no agir dos leigos na Igreja e no mundo. As agregações laicais e os critérios de eclesialidade para essas formas agregativas constituem o coração da Christifideles Laici. No terceiro capítulo entendemos que os elementos da teologia do laicato, bem fundamentados, seriam úteis não apenas para fundamentar o sacramento do batismo e resolver os problemas pastorais das paróquias, mas ajudariam a esclarecer a relação entre clérigos e leigos, os diversos ministérios e carismas, as variadas vocações e a santificação dos leigos na Igreja e no mundo. Por fim, evidenciamos o esforço que a Igreja ainda deve empreender na aplicação da teologia do laicato, para ser um instrumento mais eficaz na divulgação do Evangelho no mundo. Falta muito a ser feito para o reconhecimento dos ministérios laicais e o trabalho conjunto com os ministros ordenados, porém, a Christifideles Laici apontou o batismo como um ponto de partida para uma missão comum, pois todos são membros de um só corpo cuja cabeça é Cristo, rumo à Nova Evangelização

O sedevacantismo segundo Michel-Louis Guérard des Lauriers, O. P.

Coelho, Renato Arnellas 11 December 2015 (has links)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Renato Arnellas Coelho.pdf: 10673774 bytes, checksum: cd0418e71accd898361c839fe693b4b4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-12-11 / After the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), some people start to follow positions known as sedevacantists, denying the existence of a pope in the Church after that period. Sedevacantism is more present in the United States and in Europe, but also, gradually, some people in Brazil adhere to this position. Among the many branches of sedevacantism, the Cassiciacum Thesis is noteworthy, formulated by the Dominican Michel Guérard des Lauriers (1898-1988). This paper will examine the importance of the life and work of the author of the Cassiciacum Thesis, in order to understand what sedevacantism is, as well as compare this Thesis with favorable and unfavorable scholars. One will see that this Thesis approaches the subject of papacy in a creative way, unlike other approaches done so far. Nevertheless, one can conclude that the Thesis is limited both intrinsically, due to its arguments, and extrinsically, by relying on a subjective analysis restricted to a particular and fleeting papacy / Após o Concílio Vaticano II (1962-1965), começam a aparecer pessoas com posições denominadas sedevacantistas, negando a existência de um papa na Igreja depois desse período. A presença do sedevacantismo é mais acentuada nos Estados Unidos e na Europa, mas também no Brasil, aos poucos, surgem pessoas que aderem a essa posição. Dentre os diversos ramos do sedevacantismo, destaca-se o sedevacantismo ligado à Tese de Cassicíaco, formulada pelo dominicano Michel Guérard des Lauriers (1898-1988). O presente trabalho irá analisar a importância da vida e da obra do autor da Tese de Cassicíaco, para bem entender o sedevacantismo, bem como comparar essa Tese tanto com estudiosos favoráveis, como desfavoráveis, a essa posição. Ver-se-á que a dita Tese aborda o tema do papado de modo criativo, diferente de outros modos apresentados até então. Todavia, conclui-se que a Tese é limitada intrinsicamente, quanto aos seus argumentos, e extrinsecamente, por depender de uma análise subjetiva e restrita a um papado determinado e passageiro

Journey to the Margins: the Contribution of the Missionary Society of St Columban to the theory and practice of overseas mission within the Australian Catholic Church 1920-2000

Rue, Rev. Charles Douglas, res.cand@acu.edu.au January 2002 (has links)
This thesis aims to show that the Columban Society made definable and significant contributions to the Australian Catholic missionary movement. The scope of the thesis is an analysis of the work of the Missionary Society of St Columban (Columban Society) in Australia from 1920-2000. Rather than the Society’s foundation in Ireland or its overseas missionary work, the focus is the activity of the Columban Society in Australia. The thesis argues that the Columban Society helped advance the understanding and practice of overseas mission within the Australian Catholic Church in four major ways. Firstly, by organising support for its own missionary venture in China and elsewhere, it helped foster mission mindedness among Australian Catholics and established structures for the ongoing resourcing of missionary activity. Secondly, it set up seminaries to train missionary priests and later opened its reformed tertiary level missionary formation programs to all church personnel in Australia. Thirdly, it helped mould Catholic opinion through its commentary on such international issues as Australian relations with Asian peoples. Finally, it contributed to the development and dissemination of new Catholic theological teaching, particularly in relation to social justice and indigenous churches, religious dialogue and the connections between faith and ecology. The Columban Society carved out a position for itself in Australia through negotiating with the local Catholic Church. Starting as a group of diocesan priests and, from 1920 onwards, tapping into the numerous Irish church personnel in Australia, the Society grew to become a missionary arm of the local church. It created a network of financial support and influence at the grass roots level in parishes and schools through a system of regular visits, collections and a monthly magazine. As the world and church changed, it added mission education programs that fed back to Australian Catholics ideas and experiences coming from the new indigenous churches. The distinctive contribution of the Columban Society to the Australian Catholic Missionary Movement lies in its close relationship with diocesan based parish Catholics and the teaching role it developed about missionary experiences of overseas churches within the context of international affairs. The Society has a significant placewithin the social history of Australia because of the direct influence it had on the opinions of the more than a quarter of the Australian population who identified as Catholics. The history of the Society is also a case study in the application of the reforms of the Second Ecumenical Vatican Council of the Catholic Church 1962-1965 and the consequent redefinition of orthodox belief and practice.

School based management: the Principals' perspective

Hanks, Jennifer A, n/a January 1993 (has links)
This study details the background to the establishment of Parish School Boards in the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn, and reports and analyses the perceptions of all ACT Catholic, systemic, primary school Principals who operated with a Parish School Board in 1993. The movement towards Parish School Boards finds its genesis in the Second Vatican Council where the Church was invited to collaborate in decision-making based on the belief that all the faithful have gifts, knowledge and a share of the wisdom to bring to the building of the Church. The nature and structure of Catholic education was seen as a suitable vehicle for encouraging communities to engage in shared decision-making and in participatory democracy under the Church model of subsidiarity, collegiality and collaboration. The introduction of Parish School Boards into the Archdiocese can be seen as the implementation of a radical change to the educational mission of the Church and the educational leadership of the faith community. Reflecting 'new management theory' in both the secular and Church worlds, a key stakeholder is the school Principal whose role and relationships change as he or she learns to work within a team, sharing leadership. This study examines the responses of nineteen Principals who were interviewed by the researcher in order to determine how they work with a Parish School Board and what effects the board has on their work. Research studies in the area of School-Based Management and Shared Decision-Making have informed the review, and the Principals' responses from this study have been analysed in the light of secular and Church literature on leadership, devolution and change. The respondents of this study, the school Principals, report the benefits of collegiality and collaboration but their unresolved tensions relate to work overload, lack of clarity of the roles and responsibilities of the various local level decision-making groups, increased administrative complexity, community demand for ever widening consultation and the challenge of consensus decision-making. All Principals report an urgent need for professional development for themselves and for the system to provide a more explicit focus on parish and community formation with the commitment of the necessary resources to sustain this radical change.

O repertório musical composto e/ou executado no Brasil neste período contribuiu para este processo ou o refletiu? Quais os limites da eficiência deste processo? A fim de respondê-los, recorreu-se à legislação eclesiástica sobre música sacra, publicações e decisões de organismos eclesiásticos especializados no tema, além de fontes musicais recolhidas a diversos acervos. Foi realizada pesquisa de campo em cerca de quinhentas instituições, com pesquisa de fontes em mais de cento e setenta delas. Os dados obtidos foram analisados a partir dos referenciais de memória, esquecimento, tradição e identidade coletiva em Joël Candau, Jacques Le Goff, Pierre Nora, Michael Pollak, dentre outros, e recorrendo às teorias de sistemas sociais complexos em Niklas Luhmann e Walter Buckley – com a adaptação dos tipos weberianos de controle à abordagem sistêmica por este último. Na primeira metade do século XX, a restauração musical católica e a Romanização determinaram uma clara passagem do tipo weberiano tradicional ao racionallegal, implicando uma adequação de ferramentas analíticas: ao invés de modelos pré- composicionais, faz mais sentido pensar o repertório produzido neste período a partir da noção de controle normativo – que se estendeu a aspectos composicionais, interpretativos e relacionais. Com o Concílio Vaticano II, as relações de controle se modificaram, bem como as metas musicais do sistema religioso. Na América Latina, a partir da década de 1970, um discurso dualista em relação ao passado pretendeu o esquecimento das práticas musicais pré- conciliares, buscando inspiração na música popular e em memórias do catolicismo tradicional, e ensejando o desenvolvimento de um repertório brasileiro, associado à canção de protesto. Com João Paulo II e Bento XVI, estas metas musicais passaram por um refreamento, decorrente da política adotada por estes pontífices em relação à Teologia da Libertação. Com isto, outras memórias foram resgatadas com vistas à ênfase do Concílio Vaticano II enquanto continuidade. Os resultados da tese apontam para a coerência entre as memórias musicais resgatadas por especialistas e acadêmicos e os discursos que determinaram as metas do sistema religioso como um todo, enquanto fator de legitimação destas metas. Esta adequação legitimou as metas musicais por meio da tradição e revelou a eficiência do processo. Por outro lado, foi possível observar os limites deste controle: memórias musicais locais, a manutenção de identidades coletivas e de manifestações religiosas tradicionais, necessidades práticas, memórias afetivas, interesses políticos (identidade nacional), econômicos, e principalmente, a capacidade de negociação dos indivíduos e grupos locais em relação às metas do sistema religioso. / This research builds upon three issues: why the restoration of the past and certain intentional forgetfulness that occurred in Catholic Church in Brazil between 1903 and 2013 were efficient for its maintenance? The musical repertoire composed and/or performed in Brazil in this period contributed for this process or reflected it? Which limits the effectiveness of this process? To answer them, resorted to ecclesiastic legislation on sacred music, publications and decisions from ecclesiastic agencies specialized on the subject, as well musical sources preserved in several collections. Field work was conducted in approximately five hundred institutions, with research of sources in more than one hundred and seventy of them. Data were analyzed from the benchmarks of memory, forgetfulness and collective identity in Joël Candau, Jacques Le Goff, Pierre Nora, Michael Pollak, and others, and through the theory of the complex social systems in Niklas Luhmann and Walter Buckley – with the adaptation of Weberian types of control to the systemic approach by the later. In the first half of the twentieth century, the Catholic Musical Restoration and the Romanization determined a clear passage from the traditional Weberian type to the rational-legal, implying an adaptation of analytical tools: instead of pre-compositional models, it makes more sense to think the repertoire produced in this period from the normative control notion – that extended the compositional, interpretative and relational aspects. With Second Vatican Council, the control relationships were changed as well as the musical targets of the religious system. In Latin America, from the 1970s, a dualist discourse over the past meant the forgetfulness of the precounciliar musical practices, seeking inspiration in popular music and traditional Catholicism memories, and allowing for the development of a Brazilian repertoire, associated to the protest song. With John Paul II and Benedict XVI, these musical targets were diminished, due to the policy adopted by these pontiffs in relation to Liberation Theology. In this way, other memories were restored to emphasize the Second Vatican Council as continuity. The thesis results point to the coherency between the musical memories restored by specialists and academics and the discourses that determined the targets of whole religious system, as a factor of legitimation of these targets. This adequateness legitimized musical targets by tradition and revealed the process efficiency. On the other hand, the limits of the control were observed: musical memories, maintenances of collective identities and traditional religious manifestations, practical needs, emotional memories, political (national identity) and economical interests, and above all, the ability trading of individuals and local groups in relation to the targets of the religious system.

Katolické noviny v letech 1949-1968 / Catholic newpaper in the days of lack of freedom 1949-1968

Dušková, Petra January 2011 (has links)
The present study Catholic Newspaper between 1949 and 1968 deals with a historical analysis of the Catholic Newspaper which was established in order to implement repressive measures of the Communist Party against the Catholic Church. This study also discusses the situation of the Catholic Church after 1948 when the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia came to power. The Catholic Newspaper was established in 1949 and at that time, it represented the only periodical of the Catholic Church which could strengthen the belief of people as well as provide religious education. Other Catholic journals were discontinued shortly after the Communist coup in February 1948. The Catholic Church became one of the major enemies of the new government. A part of this study deals with the negotiations of the main representatives of the state as well as the Catholic Church. The failure of establishing an agreement led to a new religious policy in Czechoslovakia; the policy comprised administrative measures against the Catholic Church, processes with Church Authorities and restrictions in the education system of theologians. The present study concentrates on the establishing of the Catholic Newspaper and discusses the first years of its existence with a major focus on the sections for children. It also discusses the Second...

Critical assessment of the profile and ministry of the Catholic Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Cape Town

Tito, Eugene Gilbert January 2010 (has links)
Magister Theologiae - MTh / The service of deacons in the Church is documented from Apostolic times. A tradition attested already by St. Ireneus and influenced in the liturgy of ordination, sees the origin of the diaconate in the institution of the “seven” mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles (6:1-6). St Paul refers to the deacons and to bishops in his letter to the Philippians. (1:1), while in his first letter to Timothy (3:8-13) he lists the qualities and virtues which they should possess so as to exercise their ministry worthily.While the permanent diaconate was maintained from earliest Apostolic times to the present in the Eastern rite churches (Orthodox and Catholic), it gradually disappeared in the western church during the first millennium. The diaconate continued as a vestigial form as a temporary, final step along the course to ordination to the priesthood in the western church. In the 20th Century, the Permanent Diaconate was restored in the western church.Following the recommendations of the Second Vatican Council (in Lumen Gentium29), in 1967 Pope Paul VI issued the motu proprio Sacrum Diaconatus Ordinem,restoring the ancient practice of ordaining to the diaconate men who were not candidates for priestly ordination.The permanent deacons are assigned to work in a parish and to assist priests in their pastoral and administrative duties, but report directly to the bishop who appoints them. Unlike most clerics, permanent deacons are married or single men who also have a secular profession.In the Archdiocese of Cape Town, the first deacons to be ordained to the order of Permanent deacons took place in 1980. In the early days, the archdiocese had a clear policy for diaconate training and formation. Priests requested men to study towards becoming deacons. Over the past 30 years the bishops have ordained close to 100 deacons to minister in 75 parishes throughout the Archdiocese.Today there is a need to try to understand why deacons lack the zeal and passion that was so prevalent at their ordinations. Is it due to their training or has a need a risen for a deeper theological understanding of the diaconate. Priests do not fully understand the ministry of the deacons which on occasions gives rise to conflict within the parish.Currently more and more communities are calling on the parish deacon before approaching their parish priest for advice. It is in these theoretical grounds that a critical assessment of the Profile and Ministry of the Catholic Diaconate in the Archdiocese of Cape Town was undertaken. This is pioneer research in the Archdiocese.
