Premarital and extra-marital sexual practices amongst some modern Zulus : an ethical response from a catholic perspectiveJili, Bongani Vitus. 11 1900 (has links)
There is a rise in premarital and extra-marital sexual relations amongst some
modern Zulus. The causes of this rise include the perpetual childhood of women in
society and the political and socio-economic setting in South Africa. The results of
this rise include teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
In Zulu traditional sexual practice the publicity of love affairs curbed sexual
promiscuity. Many people were involved in the love affairs of young people. This
tradition broke down because of the political, religious and socio-economic changes
in South Africa.
The Catholic Church teaches that marriage is sacred; it is an institution of God, a
sacrament. Therefore premarital and extra-marital sexual relations taint the integrity
of marriage.
A number of things can be done to alleviate the problem of premarital and extramarital
sexual promiscuity. These include: changing the political and socio-economic
structures of our country; empowering women; inculturation; and changing the
pastoral attitude of the Church towards sexuality. / M.Th. (Theological Ethics)

Chudoba a sociální vyloučení: etická výzva české společnosti / Poverty and social exclusion: an ethical challenge for the Czech societyKOLÁŘOVÁ, Lucie January 2012 (has links)
The thesis deals with the role of the state and society in their attitudes to poverty and social exclusion. The introductory part aims at characterising the phenomenon of poverty and social exclusion, and deals with the issue of how the society perceives poverty. It focuses on the concept of the culture of poverty, and attention is given to the need of solidarity, social justice and the social state. The following part of my thesis deals with the extent of poverty and social exclusion in the Czech Republic, as well as possibilities of a social safety net in the Czech Republic. It describes particular examples of the manifestation of social exclusion and poverty in the Czech society, especially in the sphere of housing, opportunities in the labour market and falling into destructive debts. It sheds light on the situation of Romanies as the worst affected population group. The current situation in the Czech Republic shows that the attitude of the society to poverty as a personal fault and failure, impedes mutual solidarity, and generates strategies connected with repression that fail to understand the causes of poverty. For this reason, they cannot be adequately efficient. The society should react to, consider and efficiently solve poverty-related problems. Inspiration may be found in Christian ethics and its concept of human dignity.

Église-Famille de Dieu et protection sociale des prêtres en Côte d’Ivoire : contribution à l’ecclésiologie africaine et perspectives pastorales / Church, God's family and social willfare of the priesis in Côte d'Ivoire : contribution to african ecclesiology and pastoral prospectsToure, Amany Jean-Rostand 31 March 2015 (has links)
Cette thèse montre que l’ecclésiologie de l’Église-Famille de Dieu peut se construire en articulation avec la question de la protection sociale des prêtres, et que corrélativement la problématique de la protection sociale des ministres sacrés peut se penser par rapport à la théologie de l’Église-Famille de Dieu. Le repérage des failles dans les pratiques ecclésiales de protection sociale des prêtres en cours en Côte d’Ivoire et leur divergence avec les textes du magistère de l’Église m’amènent à considérer un principe : l’organisation d’une protection sociale des prêtres vise à libérer ces derniers des inquiétudes pour l’avenir, qui peuvent nuire à leur ministère et à leur disponibilité dans le temps présent. De plus, lorsqu’elles sont resituées dans le contexte théologique et pastoral de la nouvelle évangélisation, et qu’elles sont mises en dialogue entre elles, la problématique ecclésiologique de l’Église-Famille et celle de la protection sociale des prêtres évoquent l’enjeu majeur de l’engagement social des chrétiens. Si la réception d’une théologie de l’engagement contribue à l’émergence d’un engagement chrétien authentique, l’ecclésiologie entrepreneuriale propose l’entrepreneuriat pastoral comme une autre façon d’entreprendre en Église-Famille pour réussir le pari de la protection sociale des prêtres, conformément au vœu des Pères du Concile repris dans le Code de droit canonique de 1983. / This thesis demonstrates that the ecclesiology of the Church-God’s family can be built in relation to the issue of the social welfare for the priests, and linked to that, the issue of the social welfare for the sacred ministers can be thought about with regard to the theology of the Church as Family of God. The finding of weaknesses in the ecclesial practices of the social welfare for the priests which exists in Côte d’Ivoire and their difference with the Church magisterium texts makes me consider a principle: the organization of a social welfare for priests aims at making them free from worries in the future, which can harm (endanger) their ministry and their availability in the present time. In addition, when they are restored in the pastoral and theological context of the new evangelization, and if they are in connection, the ecclesiological issue of the Church-Family and that of the social welfare for the priests evoke the major stake of the Christians’ social commitment. If the reception of a theology of commitment contributes to an emergence of an authentic Christian commitment, the entrepreneurial ecclesiology suggests the pastoral entrepreneurship as another way to undertake in Church-Family to make a success of the bet of the social welfare for the priests in accordance with the wish of the Council Fathers taken back in the Code of Canon law of 1983.

A theological response to the "illegal alien" in federal United States lawHeimburger, Robert Whitaker January 2014 (has links)
Today, some twelve million immigrants are unlawfully present in the United States. What response to this situation does Christian theology suggest for these immigrants and those who receive them? To this question about the status of immigrants before the law, the theological literature lacks an understanding of how federal U.S. immigration law developed, and it lacks a robust theological account of the governance of immigration. To fill this gap, the thesis presents three stages in the formation of the laws that designate some immigrants as aliens unlawfully present or illegal aliens, drawing out the moral argumentation in each phase and responding with moral theology. In the first stage, non-citizens were called aliens in U.S. law. In response to the argument that aliens exist as a consequence of natural law, Christian teaching indicates that immigrants are not alien either in creation or for the church. In the second stage, the authority of the federal government to exclude and expel aliens was established, leaving those who do not comply to be designated illegal aliens. To the claim that the federal government has unlimited sovereignty over immigration, interpretations of the Christian Scriptures respond that divine sovereignty limits and directs civil authority over immigration. In the third stage, legal reforms that were intended to end discrimination between countries allowed millions from countries neighboring the U.S. to become illegal aliens. These reforms turn out to be unjust on philosophical grounds and unneighborly on theological grounds. While federal law classes many as aliens unlawfully present in the United States, Christian political theology indicates that immigrants are not alien, the government of immigration is limited by divine judgment, and nationals of neighboring countries deserve special regard.

Jüngerschaft und Mission: der Nachfolgebegriff und seine Konsequenzen für die missionale Befähigung / Discipleship and mission: the concept of discipleship and its implications for the missional empowermentRamp, Stephan 11 1900 (has links)
Text in German with summaries in German and English / In der Auseinandersetzung um Mission in einer zunehmend nach-christlichen Zeit und die
Rolle der Kirche darin findet das Konzept der Jüngerschaft vermehrt Beachtung. Dieses
wachsende Interesse an Jüngerschaft entspringt der Überzeugung, dass Mission die
Angelegenheit aller Gläubigen ist und diese deshalb dazu befähigt werden sollen. In der
näheren Betrachtung dieser Diskussion fällt gleichzeitig auf, dass die Konturen dieses
Konzeptes oftmals unscharf sind und es in seiner Verwendung unterschiedliche
Akzentsetzungen erfährt. Diese Studie will einen Beitrag zur Klärung und Konkretisierung
des Jüngerschaftsbegriffs leisten und damit Jüngerschaft als eine Befähigung zur Mission
weiter fruchtbar machen. Dazu wurde sowohl missionstheologische als auch biblisch theologische Literatur untersucht, um den Zusammenhang von Jüngerschaft und Mission zu
begründen und zu einer inhaltlichen Konkretion von Jüngerschaft zu gelangen. Mit den
Ergebnissen wurden dann Konsequenzen für das Missionsverständnis und die missionale
Befähigung formuliert, und 3DM wurde als Beispiel eines praktischen Ansatzes einer solchen
Befähigung ins Gespräch gebracht. / In the discussion about mission in an increasingly post-Christendom era and the role of the
church in it, the concept of discipleship is receiving increased attention. This growing interest
stems from the belief that mission is the concern of all believers and that they must therefore
be empowered for it. A closer look at this discussion shows that the contours of this concept
are often fuzzy and used in different emphasis. This study wants to make a contribution to the
clarification and concretization of the concept of discipleship and to make it further fruitful as
an empowerment for mission. For this purpose, both missiological and biblical-theological
literature was examined in order to establish the connection between discipleship and mission
and to arrive at a clarification and concretization of the concept of discipleship. The results
were then used to formulate consequences for the understanding of mission and missional
empowerment and were discussed with 3DM as an example of a practical approach to such an
empowerment. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)

Who benefited? : implications of "Project Go" for the children in a children's homeDe Lauwere, Henriette 01 1900 (has links)
The transformation of child and youth care ran concurrently with the political transformation in South Afriola. One of the projects aimed at establishing the transformation of child and youth care, was Project Go. This project placed a moratorium on the transfer of children 'deeper' into the child care system. It aimed at reunifying children ln residential care wtth their families. Furthermore, the projed assessed the children in the system with the aim
of accommodating them in the least restrictive, most empowering child care facility. This narrative action research study focused on the effects of Project Go and the transformations on the children at the Children's Haven M T R Smit This study can also be described as emanciipatory action research. This qualitative study is positioned within a social construction discourse. Knowledge was socially constructed through multiple reflexive conversations. I researched the background to the transformation of the child and youth care system and
investigated the implications of the transformation for the children at t.he Children's Haven M T R Smit,as well as for the child care workers and management of the haven. A narrative approach was employed. I relied on the Foucauldian discourse to come to some understanding of issues of power and resistance. Following Foucauldian thought, I investigated discourses constituting the care that the children at the Children's Haven M T R Smit received. This investigatlon led me to formulate some understanding of the history of the Dutch Reformed Church
(DRC) the body responsible for the management of the haven since it was founded in the earty 1920s. 0nce I reached an understanding of some of the historical developments of the DRC (which l
learned was closely linked lo Afrikaner politics), I explored some implications of the transformation for the DRC's future involvement with the children in its care. This exploration led me to a comparison of the theology of the DRC and black liberation theology, focusing on prophetic practice. Although not an initial aim of this study, I learned that the transfornation of child and youth care held implications not only for the pastoral practice of the DRC, but also for the helping professions such as psychology, social work and child care. l focused briefly on the ethics and
some limitations of care provided by the profession of psychology. I reflected on the implications of the transformation of child and youth care for the helping professions. / Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology / D. Th. (Practical Theology (Pastoral Therapy))
