Desde seus primeiros movimentos, a instituição eclesiástica foi ameaçada pelas novas forças emergentes, tanto no plano de seu poder temporal, quanto no plano de seu pensamento teológico. No século XIX delinearam-se duas formas de interpretar os “sinais dos tempos”: uma – de tendência liberal – que entendia que a Igreja deveria se “abrir” às novas disposições, e outra – de tendência conservadora – que via com grande desconfiança o mundo novo que se vislumbrava, defendendo fervorosamente a ordem disciplinar e doutrinal. Ambas tiveram também projeção no Brasil, e já entre a primeira e a segunda metade do século XX foi possível notar as divisões crescentes no catolicismo brasileiro. O Concílio Vaticano II pode ser considerado o campo no qual essas duas linhas compreensivas se cruzaram mais claramente e combateram por maior influência nos rumos do cristianismo. O objetivo principal desta tese é o de apresentar as linhas de pensamento que marcam a tendência conservadora, sua organização e principais ações no interior do Concílio. / The rising of modernity brought out several issues for the Roman Catholic Church. Since its first movements, the ecclesiastic institution had been threatened by the emergent forces, both in the ground of its temporal power, and in the ground of its theological thought. In the 19th century, two ways of seeing the “signs of the times” were designed: one – based on a liberal inclination – advocated that the Church should “open” itself for the new disposals; and other – based on a conservative inclination – noticed with suspicion the new rising world, and supported feverously the disciplinal and doctrinal order. Both streams had its projections on Brazil, and throughout the 20th Century it was possible to notice the growing division inside the Brazilian Catholicism. The II Vatican Council could be considered the ground where those two thought streams had encountered each other and had fought for a greater influence on the Christianity future. The main purpose of this thesis is to present the approaches that mark the conservative inclination thought, its organization, and its main actions inside the Council.

[pt] A partir do diálogo promovido pelo Movimento Litúrgico e pelo Concílio Vaticano II, entre a exegese, a patrística e a teologia dogmática, tem sido possível redescobrir um conceito mais bíblico, eclesial e profético dos sacramentos celebrados pela Igreja. Os sacramentos, à luz do pensamento conciliar, têm sido abordados pela teologia como atos do próprio Cristo, que se prolongam na vida de sua Igreja. O fio condutor de nossa pesquisa é a relação profunda que existe entre a teologia das ações simbólicas dos profetas e as de Jesus, as quais se prolongam nas celebrações litúrgicas da comunidade cristã e no testemunho vivencial dos batizados. Por meio dessas celebrações, os que creem são inseridos na vida do Ressuscitado e chamados a prolongar em suas vidas as palavras e ações de Cristo. Desse modo, os fiéis tomam consciência de exercerem o ministério profético que lhes foi confiado no batismo. A compreensão dos sacramentos como ações proféticas é capaz de revelar à própria Igreja a missão profética que é chamada a exercer no mundo de hoje, bem como a sua condição de sacramento de Cristo em prol da salvação de todos os homens. / [en] It has been possible to rediscover a more biblical, ecclesial and prophetic concept of the sacraments celebrated by the Church through the dialogue promoted by the Liturgical Movement and the Second Vatican Council, between exegesis, patristics and dogmatic theology. The sacraments, in light of the conciliar thought, have been approached by theology as acts of Christ himself, and they have continued in the life of his Church. The guiding thread of our research is the deep relationship that exists between the theology of prophets symbolic actions and those of Jesus, which are extended to the liturgical celebrations of the Christian community and in the lived witness of the baptized. Through these celebrations, those who believe are inserted into the life of the Risen One and they are called to prolong in their own lives the words and actions of Christ. In this way, the ones who have faith become aware of exercising the prophetic ministry entrusted to them by baptism. The understanding of the sacraments as prophetic actions is able to revealing to the Church the prophetic mission that it is called to practice in the world of today, as well as its condition as the sacrament of Christ for the salvation of all men.

In my thesis I came to several conclusions. Holy Fathers John XXIII., Paul IV. and Francis, who followed and related the legacy of II. of the Vatican Council to, are much more popular in society than the popes, who have a different opinion and do not support the last ecumenical council. The openness of the personality and the pope's approach to the church modernization is for public absolutely necessary. Another crucial aspect for today's church is for sure the media world.

In light of women’s marginal status in church governance and ministry through most of recorded history, feminist trinitarian ecclesiology is needed to transform the church’s institutional and spiritual life. While Vatican II provided the paradigm shift and promising anthropology essential for an egalitarian church, feminist ecclesiology prompts a radical transformation of its hierarchical and patriarchal structures and practices so that it may truly embody the Trinity. Trinitarian life provides practical and radical consequences for Christian life, and provides a model of church marked by relationships of equality, mutuality, unity and reciprocity. It also provides a strong ecclesiological argument for reform of the juridical Catholic nullity of marriage process, which may pave a pathway for the civilly remarried to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist.

The thesis "The Sacrament of Confirmation - the theological understanding in the particular documents and regulations of the dioceses (in Slovak Republic and Czech Republic) and its comparison with the theological concept in the universal magisterial documents from the second Vatican council until now" deals with the sacrament of confirmation as the essential part of Christian initiation which constitutes the heart of sacramental organism and shapes being of every Christian. First two chapters analyze presence of the seven aspects of confirmation in universal and particular magisterial documents (history of salvation; sacramental sign; relationship to the rest of initiation, common priesthood and apostolate; effects; recipient and catechesis; minister; ecumenical perspective). Then in the third chapter, the two approaches are compared and critically considered.

The thesis "Ecumenism in the work of Josef Kubalík" provides an overview of several works of professor Josef Kubalík. His works influenced generations of students of Catholic theology. Author was a professor of Fundamental Theology at Cyrilometodějská bohoslovecká faculty in Litoměřice in the second half of the 20th century. He wrote a lot of books, university textbooks and ariticles in specialized press. Theologia Fundamentalis has been his most known work. Which is partly still under the influence of manualistic, apologetic-polemical theology. In his later reissues are added council documents Dei Verbum and Lumen Gentium. He translated documents of Second Vatican Ecumenical Council for professional public. We compare his work to these documents and to Ut Unum Sint. At the end it is said, that professor Kubalík grew in the openness and friendliness towards non - Catholics. But he was unable to change given schemes of his thinking.

The outcomes of the Second Vatican Council have brought essential changes into liturgy, having impacted the liturgical space as well. However, the totalitarian communist regime that was in power in Czech lands at the time allowed only a limited space for the application of the Council outcomes in practice. That is why the post-Council situation in liturgy is in many ways unique in the Czech Republic. After the Velvet Revolution there was a rapid and rapturous development that has brought not only positives, but also certain negatives stemming from the too-quickly loosening grip of bondage. The aim of this thesis is to monitor the state of the discussion on liturgical space in the period between the Second Vatican Council and the present day. The theoretical part looks at the summary of the discussion in the Czech Republic before the Second Vatican Council, then briefly presents concept of sacred space of the Second Vatican Council and at the end outlines the pre-Council and the post-Council European context. The practical part consists in the finding, researching and evaluating of materials concerning the subject. They have been assessed according to three main criteria. The first is a historical viewpoint sorting the materials by the time they came into being. The second classifies them by the...

[pt] A presente tese tem como objetivo principal contribuir para um renovado conceito dos sacramentos da Igreja, a partir da teologia litúrgica das ações simbólicas dos profetas de Israel e de Jesus. Com o avanço das pesquisas na área bíblica, patrística e dogmática, tem sido possível explorar um conceito mais bíblico e eclesial dos sacramentos celebrados pela Igreja. À luz do Concílio Vaticano II é traçada a natureza litúrgica dos atos proféticos realizados pelos profetas e por Jesus. Como sinais do poder Deus, inseridos na história da salvação, estes atos hoje são prolongados no mundo por meio da liturgia da Igreja. Inseridos na última etapa da historia salutis, os sacramentos são atos divinos que revelam a presença salvífica de Cristo no mundo e antecipam o cumprimento escatológico do reino de Deus. Sendo assim, os sacramentos como atos proféticos da Igreja querem provocar uma expressão renovada dos atos litúrgicos da Igreja. As ações simbólicas provocam uma reposta, fazendo com que o cristão participe ativamente do mistério e compreenda que os sacramentos são atos que possuem uma força transformadora na própria vida, na Igreja e em todo o mundo. / [en] The main purpose of this thesis is to contribute to a renewed concept of the sacraments of the Church, starting from the liturgical theology of the symbolic actions of the prophets of Israel and Jesus. With the advance of biblical research, patristic and dogmatic, it has been possible to explore a more biblical and ecclesial concept of the sacraments celebrated by the Church. In the light of the Second Vatican Council, the liturgical nature of the prophetic acts performed by the prophets and by Jesus is outlined. As signs of God s power, inserted in salvation history, these acts are prolonged in the world today through the liturgy of the Church. Inserted in the last stage of the historia salutis, the sacraments are divine acts that reveal Christ s saving presence in the world and anticipate the eschatological fulfillment of the kingdom of God. Therefore, the sacraments as prophetic acts of the Church want to bring about a renewed expression of the liturgical acts of the Church. The symbolic actions cause a response, making the Christian participate actively in the mystery and understand that the sacraments are acts that have a transforming force in their own life, in the Church, and in the whole world.

In 1936 the founders of PAX aimed at 'resistance to modern warfare on grounds of traditional morality'. Believing that 'just war' criteria could no longer be met, they called themselves pacifists. Although most members were Roman Catholic Pax did not claim to be a 'Catholic society' because the RC Church at that time took an opposing view, particularly of conscientious objection. Church authorities attempted to censor Pax literature and instructed clergy to resign from the society. Pax supported conscientious objectors during the Second World War. When membership declined afterwards it continued to publish the Pax Bulletin and to provide a forum where Catholics could debate theological and practical questions of war and peace. By the 1960s Pax had gained some distinguished sponsors and a branch in the United States - support which enabled it to influence debate at the Second Vatican Council in 1965. The Council endorsed the right to conscientious objection. In 1971 Pax merged with Pax Christi, the international Catholic peace organisation which began in France in 1944/45. This is the first detailed historical study of the Roman Catholic element in the British peace movement. The story of Pax demonstrates the part that even a small pressure group can play in changing public opinion through patient work. Eventually, despite apathy and opposition, Pax helped bring the RC Church to a recognition of the right to conscientious objection and played a crucial role in the development of a more widespread peace movement within the Church
