This diploma thesis is a treatise on life and work of Mons. Karel Fořt, an eminent priest, a leader of Czech Spiritual Care in Germany, and an editor of religious broadcasting on Radio Free Europe. For my thesis, I used following sources: State Regional Archives in Třeboň, professional literature, and online sources.

The purpose of this research was to assess counselling skills among the Roman Catholic priests in Masvingo diocese- Zimbabwe. This research took place because the priests encountered challenging situations that called for pastoral counselling skills. The research examined and assessed the competence of the clergy. To carry out this research, a survey of 40 priests and 50 parishioners was undertaken. The methods used to collect data were the questionnaire and unstructured interviews. The research structure began with the general introduction, followed by several themes discussed in relation to the literature on counselling in general, pastoral counselling skills and Christian reaction. After analysing the findings, there was confirmation that there was some lack of counselling skills among the clergy. In conclusion, the study recommended a thorough training and supervision in pastoral counselling. This includes the engagement of experts in psychological and pastoral counselling skills. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M.Th. Practical Theology

A social history of Grahamstown between the years of 1830-1870. Tracing the relationship of the parishioners of the diocese with the "English Church", which developed into a formative part of the world-wide Anglican communion as the Church of the Province of South Africa after 1870. The study tries to gauge the extent of external influences on the settlers after 1830 both socio-political and ecclesiological and especially with the growth of the influence of the Tractarians after the arrival of Gray as first bishop. In the light of the later developments when the churches became 'trapped in apartheid', the study attempts to show that this was a time when a degree of independence in church/state relations church was achieved but the division between settler church and mission church became a reality. The study also engages in discussion of the relationship between a church and generalist historiography. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.Th. (Church History)

This dissertation titled The History of the Catholic Church in Lesotho 1862-1989 has three chapters. The first chapter deals with the formation of the seventy-seven missions in Lesotho, and the establishment of the four dioceses of Lesotho the seventy-seven mission had all been formed during the period mentioned in the title, and those formed after appear in the appendix. The second chapter deals with the socio-political involvement of the Catholic Church in Lesotho, this part deals with the authority of the bishop and the Church government and again with the role of the bishop and his relationship to the Oblate authority. In this part four bishops are taken to illustrate this point, and this covers the period from 1930 to 1966. In short this deals with the internal affairs of the Church, and its finances. And we go on to deal with the involvement of the Church in the party politics which led to independence of the country. The last chapter deals with the church under the indigenous clergy, which actually is inculturation its problem and attempted solution. / Christianity, Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.

We will give emphasis to the education, which action is oriented for the formation of intellectual elite that was defending the ideals of this institution. In the end of the nineteenth century, with the break of the ecclesiastical patronage and the advent of new churches disputing the Brazilian territory, the Church starts to be concerned by a more conservative formation, attempting to stop the demonstrations of a popular Catholicism that were appearing in Brazil. Seminars and schools were created all over Brazil, with the catholic religion spreading goal, by means of the Brazilian education romanizing process. This work attempts to ally the themes about religion and education, dealing with the Catholic Church actions about the Creation of the Diocese in Crato and the Diocesan College in order to undertake the project that made feasible the maintenance of catholic power. The central objective is to analyze this process, aiming to understand the sociocultural role fulfilled by this educational institution in Crato city. Along his history, Crato was strongly orientated by the Catholic religion which imprints its presence since the Priest Ibiapina arrival and his charity institutions. The Catholic Church activity on Crato reflects the intellectuals’ formation that later defended this institution in several fronts, for instance the diocese host contest against Juazeiro’s Priest Cícero. In fact, the study of the religion and history of education in the Ceará will serve as theoretical outline to reaffirm the power of Catholic Institution. / A Igreja Católica, no decorrer da sua história, pensou e implementou projetos que viabilizassem a sua manutenção no poder em todos os campos sociais: político, econômico, cultural e educacional. Daremos ênfase à educação, cuja ação estava direcionada para a formação de uma elite intelectual que defendesse os ideais desta instituição. No final do séc. XIX, com a quebra do padroado e o advento de novas igrejas disputando o território brasileiro, a Igreja passa a preocupar-se com uma formação mais conservadora, numa tentativa de barrar as manifestações de um catolicismo popular que surgiam no Brasil. Seminários e escolas foram criadas em todo o Brasil, com o objetivo de difundir a religião católica, no processo de romanização da educação brasileira. Este trabalho tenta aliar as temáticas sobre religião e educação, envolvendo as ações da Igreja Católica acerca da Criação da Diocese do Crato e do Colégio Diocesano para empreender o seu projeto que viabilizava a manutenção do seu poder. Com o objetivo central de analisar tal processo, buscou-se o entendimento do papel sociocultural desempenhado por esta instituição de ensino na cidade do Crato. Ao longo de sua história, Crato foi fortemente orientado pela religião Católica que marca sua presença desde a chegada do Padre Ibiapina e suas instituições de caridade. A atuação da Igreja Católica no Crato reflete na formação de intelectuais que defenderam esta instituição em várias frentes, a exemplo da disputa para sediar a diocese contra o Padre Cícero do Juazeiro. Com efeito, o estudo da religião e da história da educação no Ceará servirá de arcabouço teórico para reafirmar o poder desta Instituição.

Em junho de 1908, foi criada a diocese de Ribeirão Preto junto com outras cinco dioceses que passaram a fazer parte da Província Eclesiástica de São Paulo, projeto de D. Duarte Leopoldo e Silva teve por objetivo aumentar e consolidar a presença da Igreja no interior de São Paulo. O bispo eleito para Ribeirão Preto foi D. Alberto José Gonçalves, um padre político que exerceu os cargos de deputado e senador da República pelo Paraná e que veio com a incumbência arregimentar os católicos para o seio da Igreja e diminuir as forças da modernidade anticlerical e de outras crenças na região. O governo de D. Alberto estendeu-se de fevereiro de 1909 quando tomou posse até seu falecimento em maio de 1945. Ao longo dos 36 anos que esteve à frente da diocese de Ribeirão Preto, organizou o patrimônio, construiu e embelezou a catedral, incentivou os padres a construírem e reformarem suas matrizes. A obra pastoral de D. Alberto teve início com as visitas pastorais em sua diocese pregando, administrando os sacramentos e orientando padres e fieis. O incentivo para que os padres chamassem os leigos para participar das atividades da Igreja, a preocupação com a entrada de outras crenças cristãs e não cristãs marcou o governo de D. Alberto. Distante da política partidária e dos cargos eletivos, o Bispo de Ribeirão Preto preocupou-se em implantar o ensino religioso nas escolas públicas, a Ação Católica nas paróquias e, realizou um Congresso Eucarístico Diocesano. As diretrizes do Vaticano foram acolhidas e seguidas por D. Alberto e pelo bispo auxiliar que chegou em 1940 D. Manoel da Silveira D Elboux / This thesis focuses on the establishment of the diocese of Ribeirão Preto and the government of its first bishop. In June of 1908 the diocese of Ribeirão Preto was created along with five other dioceses which became part of the Ecclesiastical province of São Paulo, a project developed by D. Duarte Leopoldo e Silva with the intent of increasing and consolidating the presence of the Church in the interior of the state of São Paulo. The bishop elected for Ribeirão Preto was D. Alberto José Gonçalves, a priest and politician who had held office as congressman and senator for the Republic from the state of Paraná, and who came with the incumbency to recruit all Catholics in the task of weakening the forces of anticlerical modernism and of other beliefs in the region. D. Alberto s term in government extended from February 1909, when he took office, until his death in May of 1945. During the 36 years in which he was at the head of the diocese of Ribeirão Preto he organized the assets, constructed and embellished the cathedral, and encouraged his priests to build and renovate their parishes. D. Alberto s pastoral works began as pastoral visits in his diocese, preaching, administering the sacraments and orientating priests and lay people. His incentive to his priests to call upon the participation of lay people in church activities, as well as his preoccupation with the expansion of other faiths, both Christian and non-Christian, were important issues of D. Alberto s government. Maintaining a distance from political parties and from any elected office, the Bishop of Ribeirão Preto set about implanting religious teaching in the public schools, setting up the Ação Católica (Catholic Action) in the parishes and holding a Diocesan Eucharistic Congress. All of the directives of the Vatican were accepted and followed by D. Alberto and by his auxiliary bishop, D. Manoel da Silveira D Élboux, who arrived in 1940

Este trabalho investigou a presença da Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana na Região da Mata Sul de Pernambuco, através da Diocese de Palmares, no período de 1962 a 2000, justamente quando aquela Igreja particular completa trinta e oito anos de ação pastoral em meio à realidade canavieira. A pesquisa analisou a instalação daquela Igreja no contexto geral da Igreja Católica, seus primeiros passos - com o primeiro bispo - D. Acácio Rodrigues Alves que, logo após assumir a diocese, viajou a Roma, a fim de participar do Concílio Vaticano II. Depois foi vista toda a caminhada da instituição no período da ditadura militar e na implantação das diretrizes do Vaticano II. Foram aprofundadas as ações desta instituição que assumiu como prioridade a evangelização do homem do campo e a implantação das orientações do Concílio. Procuramos mostrar como a Diocese não limitou seu trabalho ao campo religioso, mas como ela interferiu, condicionou e participou ativamente de muitos momentos fortes da região, principalmente no que diz respeito aos direitos dos trabalhadores rurais. Concluímos destacando que a Diocese de Palmares ainda hoje se apresenta como instituição forte no contexto social da região.

La pâleur des témoignages distillés par une Antiquité tardive et un haut Moyen Âge roussillonnais, pourtant florissant, a jeté un voile nous privant pour longtemps de toute la richesse chromatique d’une longue période, qui n’a d’obscure que les a priori que l’on s’en fait. Opérer une introspection sur la genèse du vocabulaire formel chrétien est inévitable pour en comprendre les raccourcis, ceux souvent initiés par une vision monofocale n’offrant que trop peu souvent la possibilité d’envisager le bâtiment ecclésial selon sa polysémie : tout à la fois lieux de l’accomplissement du culte, de rassemblement des fidèles, mais aussi lieux d’expression techniques et artistiques. Un condensé, en somme, au cœur d’une société en mutation, où les différents acteurs politiques n’ont eu, en réalité, qu’un impact modéré.Les modestes églises rurales anté-romanes, par leurs structures et leurs modes de construction, sont finalement révélatrices d’un héritage et d’une continuité, jusque là minimisés, voire insoupçonnés. En choisissant de ne pas dissocier l’évolution des techniques de celle des formes, tout en prenant en compte les nouvelles perspectives soulevées par l’archéologie médiévale, pour d’autres territoires, les postulats chronologiques s’étiolent, se faisant moins relatifs et plus impartiaux. Entre relecture et reformulation, il convient maintenant d’envisager une mise à l’épreuve de l’architecture préromane. / The scarcity of evidence trickled down from the late Antiquity and the Roussillon Early Middle Ages, although quite flourishing, has casta veil depriving us for quitea while of all the chromatic richness of a long era, obscure only because of the a priori one has about it. Carrying out an introspection into the genesis of the formal Christian vocabulary is an absolute must to understand its shortcuts, those being often brought about by a monofocal vision too rarely offering the opportunity to consider the church building according to its polysemy: worshipping and congregating places for the believers as well as places where their craftmanship and art could be expressed. A summary, all in all,in the midst of a mutating society where the various political actors have only had in fact a moderate impact.The humbleante-Romanesque rural churches, by their structures and their method of building are eventually revealing of a legacy and a continuity played downuntil now, unsuspectedindeed. By choosing not to dissociate the evolution of techniques from that of the forms while factoring in the new prospects brought up by medieval archaeology, for other areas, the chronological postulates weaken, becoming less relative and more unbiased. Between rereading and rewording, it is now advisable to consider putting to the test pre-Romanesque architecture.
