Dom Brandão, o profeta do povo de Deus do baixo São FranciscoIsaías Carlos Nascimento Filho 03 April 2012 (has links)
Esta dissertação analisa, enquanto fenômeno do campo religioso brasileiro, a trajetória eclesiástica e a ação pastoral de Dom José Brandão de Castro junto aos camponeses, índios, sem-terra, pescadores e quilombolas que constituíam o segmento mais pobre da população do Estado de Sergipe, no período de 1960 a 1987, acentuando a sua opção preferencial pelos pobres organizados nas Comunidades Eclesiais de Bases (CEB‟s), à luz da Teologia da Libertação, e as consequências advindas dessa mesma opção. Foi usado o método da CEHILA na reconstrução historiográfica, por sua dupla valência: enquanto metodologia histórica especialmente desenvolvida para resgatar a história dos que, normalmente, não têm voz na História e, enquanto atitude teológica, visto que se trata da história da caminhada de fé de um povo excluído que, com um pastor que finalmente os escuta, organiza-se num processo de libertação. As pesquisas reconstruiram parte dos caminhos percorridos por Dom José Brandão, desde seu núcleo familiar, passando por sua formação, ministério sacerdotal e episcopal como missionário redentorista, até sua renúncia como Bispo de Propriá. Elas retratam como evoluiu sua sensibilidade para com os pobres, passando progressivamente de uma atitude afetivo-assistencialista a uma atitude afetivo-libertária, cuja coerência o levou a pagar um preço alto: a renúncia forçada. Os testemunhos revelam que ele deixou um legado de libertação que persiste na memória, nas expressões de fé e nas atitudes de várias comunidades e grupos organizados na região do Baixo São Francisco, até os dias atuais. / This dissertation analyzes, as a phenomenon of the Brazilian religious field, the ecclesiastical trajectory and the pastoral action of Dom José Brandão de Castro, in the period from 1960 to 1987, regarding the peasants, natives, landless workers, fishermen and quilombolas, who form the poorest population segment of the State of Sergipe, emphasizing his option for the poor who were organized in the Ecclesiastic Base Communities (EBCs),considering the Theology of Liberation, and the consequences which followed his option. The CEHILA method was the one used in the historiographical reconstruction, because of its double utility: as an historical methodology specially designed to rescue the history of those who normally have no voice, and as theological stance, since this is the story of the faith journey of an excluded people who after finally finding a pastor that listens to them, organized themselves in a process of liberation. The researches rebuilt part of the paths taken by Dom José Brandão, starting with his family, through his education, priestly and Episcopal ministry as a Redemptorist missionary, until his renunciation of the position of Bishop of Propriá. They portray how he improved his sensitivity towards the poor, moving progressively from an affective-assistance -based attitude to an affective-libertarian attitude, whose consistency made him pay a heavy price: the forced renunciation. The testimonies reveal that he left a legacy of liberation that remains in the memory, the expressions of faith and in the attitudes of several communities and organized groups in the Lower São Francisco, until the present day.

Ignatius Loyola and the internet : insights from Ignatian spirituality on the use of the internet for evangelisation.Pollitt, Russell Edward. January 2008 (has links)
The internet has brought about a revolution in human communication, unparalleled, because of its ability to communicate instantaneously across the globe. It has transformed our culture and made, what seemed impossible, now achievable with the click of a mouse, from an office in a city or in the comfort of your lounge. The computer networks we use are far more than a means of communication. They are agents of social change. I try to analyse what impact the electronic media have on human worldview and behaviour. I highlight some of the challenges that electronic media pose: we are not sure how these media (and technologies) will continue to shape our lives as they develop at a rapid pace. Jesus of Nazareth spent his incarnate life proclaiming the reign of God and, in doing so, invited humanity into a relationship with God. He commissioned his disciples and, the whole Church in all time, to continue his proclamation of Good News. In obedience to his command the Church has, throughout history, used the communication technologies at her disposal to carry out this command. The internet makes another technology available to the Church. In this thesis I attempt to better understand the impact of communication technologies, specifically the internet, on the Church. I look at the relationship between the Church and mass media. I analyse how the Catholic Church has responded to the advent of the internet and, how the internet has been used for the task of evangelisation. I investigate some of the key documents of the Church on the means of Social Communication, focusing especially on those of the Second Vatican Council, in order to understand how the Church understands and perceives the media. Using the spirituality of St. Ignatius Loyola I offer an Ignatian Communications Model to help the Church use the internet more effectively for evangelisation. St. Ignatius lived in a time when another communication revolution took place: the advent of the Gutenberg printing press. I show how, using his spirituality, the Church can better use the internet for the task of evangelisation. / Thesis (M.Th.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2008.

The mission of the church as family: implementing the ecclesiology of the African Synod (1994) in the Catholic Diocese of MasvingoBasera, Michael 02 1900 (has links)
Bibliography: leaves 221-244 / The purpose of this thesis is to examine the mission of the ‘Church as family’ and to explore
its implications in terms of levels of inclusion and participation of church members in the
Catholic Diocese of Masvingo. The background of the study is the 1994 African Synod that
suggests the ecclesiology of the mission of the ‘Church as family.’ The study helps the
Catholic Diocese of Masvingo to evaluate the implementation of the ideal of the mission of
the ‘Church as family’ and draw implications for nuclear, single parent, child-headed,
reconstituted and extended families within the church. The study explores Shorter’s culture
model to examine how cultural practices, symbols, values and belief systems can be used as
an analytic framework for the human dimension of the church. A qualitative research
methodology that involves 36 participants in semi-structured interviews, three focus group
discussions in urban, semi-urban and rural parishes and participant observation was used to
collect data from parishioners, priests and religious of the Catholic Diocese of Masvingo. The
study reveals that each family type contributes to Evangelisation as proclamation of the Good
News and inculturation differently thereby enriching the ideal of the mission of the ‘Church
as family.’ Furthermore, the study shows that guilds, associations and commissions help to
strengthen families through spiritual, psychological, social and economic support. Findings
also indicate that the Trinity is the theological foundation of the family and it finds
acceptance in African communal setup. Family types in Masvingo Diocese are analysed
using the notion of the Trinity to show that dignity, equality and respect among family types
can be used to strengthen the ideal of the mission of the ‘Church as family.’ At pastoral level,
economic, social and cultural obstacles to family ministry stand as a challenge to the full
implementation and realisation of the ideal of the mission of the ‘Church as family’. In the
light of the research, recommendations for mission strategies were suggested at different
levels that involve Diocesan administration, priests, religious, catechists and parish leaders.
Recommendations for further researches were also suggested for areas that seem to be
important yet outside the scope of this study. The theological, pastoral, and cultural issues
raised in this study combine to help the Catholic Diocese of Masvingo to become an
authentic expression of the mission of the ‘Church as family’ of God. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)
