Podcast appearances and mentions of albert nolan

A book of tributes to Albert Nolan, the renowned South African Catholic priest, author, theologian and anti-apartheid activist, has been published less than nine months after his death on October 22 last year. Edited by Nolan's fellow Dominicans Mike Deeb, Mark James and Philippe Denis, and published by ATF Press, the 500-page volume includes contributions from 71 of Nolan's friends and contemporaries, including his Dominican brothers and sisters, former students from his days as a Young Christian Students chaplain, as well as colleagues, academics, and political activists. Archbishop Stephen Brislin, who addressed the book's Cape Town launch on July 8 and was named as one of 21 new cardinals by Pope Francis the very next day, described Nolan as a great intellectual and academic with a special gift for being able to speak and write profound thoughts and ideas in a way that was easily understandable to people. "There was no complicated language disguising or softening what he taught - he was straight forward and to the point. He lived what he taught, especially through his simple lifestyle. Always kind and gentle, he had a wonderful sense of humour," Brislin recalled. Many of the tributes in the book, Deeb noted during the Gauteng and Cape Town launches, referred to Nolan as a 'prophet', a view that is partly mirrored in the book's own title. However, its full title, 'Reluctant Prophet', is more reflective of who Nolan actually was - especially his humility. Drawn from a documentary interview with the Irish TV company, Radharc, and described in Joseph Dunn's book No Lions in the Hierarchy, Nolan was quoted as saying: "If there's any sense in which (my speaking up) is prophetic, then like Jeremiah I'm a very reluctant prophet, and I wish to God that I didn't have to do it". Deeb went further at the launches by distinguishing Nolan from the traditional view of prophets as people who can come across as serious, grumpy, aggressive and abrasive. "Albert was always so joyful and welcoming even of those who disagreed with him." In his foreword to the book, former Master of the Dominican order Timothy Radcliffe also reflected on Nolan's "simple, whole-hearted joy", recalling a memory of a pub visit some forty years earlier when Nolan came to stay in Blackfriars, Oxford. "[His joy] so overflowed that when the time came for the pub to be closed for the night, the publican invited us to stay on and share some more drinks with him. I had never had that honour before or since." The book and the launch events also underlined Nolan's commitment to the anti-apartheid struggle, including his unprecedented 1983 request to be excused from taking up the role of Master of the Dominican Order, to which he had been elected, so that he could remain active in his opposition to the system that discriminated against black South Africans. In his contribution, fellow Dominican priest Nicholas Punch recalls how the Dominican Chapter had to vote again to see if they accepted Nolan's reasons for declining, which they duly did. "So, we had to go through the process of electing again! It did not take long for the Irish provincial Damian Byrne to be elected . [Damian] promised obedience not only to the Order and to the pope, but to Albert Nolan. That received a standing ovation! I dare say this was probably the most unusual election in the his­tory of the Dominican Order," Punch writes. Addressing the Gauteng launch, well-known anti-apartheid activist and theologian Reverend Frank Chikane (who also wrote a chapter in the book) recalled how Nolan and his Catholic network kept him out of the clutches of the notorious apartheid security police when he was once again facing arrest and detention in the 1980s. "I was hidden in convents and community houses and Albert even arranged for me to stay for three months with the Jesuits in Jules Street. The Catholics really took care of me," the ordained Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa minister recalled. That netwo...

Lucas 15: 1CUANDO LOS ESCRIBAS Y FARISEOS pronunciaron las palabras de nuestro texto de hoy, estaban muy molestos con Jesús. ¿Qué los molestaba tanto? Al menos, dos cosas.Lo primero, que Jesús «se juntara, con una simpatía tan visible, con los parias de la sociedad» (Palabras de vida del gran Maestro, cap. 15, p. 144). Lo segundo, que esas «parias» también parecían sentirse muy bien en la presencia del Señor porque, no solo lo buscaban, sino que «escuchaban con arrobada atención sus palabras >> (ibíd.). Así que la rabia de los rabinos era por partida doble: A quienes ellos entendieron «malditos» (ver Juan 7:49), «Cristo los saludaba como a hijos de Dios [...], apartados de la casa del Padre, pero no olvidados por el corazón del Padre» (ibíd., p. 145).¿Quiénes eran esos pecadores a quienes Jesús saludaba como a «hijos de Dios»? Según Albert Nolan, en la Palestina de ese tiempo entre los pecadores se contaban quienes desempeñaban trabajos considerados pecaminosos o impuros: las prostitutas, los cobradores de impuestos, los usureros, los apostadores...*Es difícil leer estas palabras ya la vez ignorar sus implicaciones: ¿También a las prostitutas las considera el Señor como «hijas»? ¿Qué diríamos de los homosexuales? A mi mente acude un relato que leí en un libro de Tony Campolo. Es la historia de un pastor que había oficiado el funeral de un homosexual que había muerto de sida. Cuenta este pastor que al sepelio acudieron unos veinticinco a treinta amigos del fallecido; al parecer, todos homosexuales, por la forma como vestían.Al concluir el servicio en el cementerio, ya él se separará del lugar cuando notó que ninguno de los presentes se movía. Entonces les preguntó si había algo más que podía hacer por ellos. Uno le pidió que leyera el Salmo 23. «Cuando me levanté esta mañana —dijo— pensé que me gustaría que alguien me leyera el Salmo 23». Al terminar, otro le pidió que leyera el pasaje de la Biblia que dice que nada nos puede separar del amor de Dios. Cuenta el pastor que cuando leyó que nada nos puede separar del amor de Dios, por primera vez vio señales de emoción en sus rostros. Luego vino otro pedido, seguido de otro, y otro. Durante casi una hora, el pastor estuvo leyendo los pasajes bíblicos favoritos de este grupo de homosexuales.Mientras leía este relato, no pude evitar que se me hiciera un nudo en la garganta. Tampoco pude evitar preguntarme: si ellos no han sido olvidados por el corazón del Padre, ¿qué estamos haciendo para atraerlos a la casa del Padre? ¿No son también «hijos de Dios»? Capacítame hoy, Padre, para no considerar a ningún ser humano como indigno de la sangre de Cristo. ¿Quién soy yo para condenar a quién tú llamas «hijos»?*Jesús ante el cristianismo, Nueva York: Orbis Book, 1999, p. 29. **Carpe Diem. Seize the Day, Dallas: Word Publishing, 1994, pp. 64-67.

Marcos 3:1, DHHCRECÍ EN UN BARRIO DE CARACAS en el que era muy común llamar a la gente por apodos. En la mayoría de los casos, el apodo era el producto de un defecto físico de la persona, o de algo que hacía mal. Lo más curioso de este hecho no era tanto el apodo en sí, sino que en algunos casos nunca sabíamos el verdadero nombre de la persona, mucho menos su apellido. ¿Cómo es que, durante años, llamábamos por su apodo a una persona sin tomarnos la molestia de saber al menos su nombre?A mi mente se me ocurrieron estos recuerdos cuando pensé en el hombre del cual habla nuestro texto de hoy, en ocasión de su visita un día sábado a la sinagoga. Una versión de la Biblia dice que el hombre «tenía seca una mano» (RV95). Otra dice que el hombre tenía «la mano paralizada» (NVI). Todavía otra dice que «tenía una mano tullida» (DHH). Me pregunto cómo lo llamarían en el pueblo: «¿El tullido»?, «¿El paralítico?», «¿El hombre de la mano seca?».Es aquí donde entra en juego el título de nuestra reflexión para hoy: «Dios está en los detalles». (Este dicho, por cierto, ha sido atribuido al escritor francés Gustave Flaubert.)* En una sinagoga que, por lo general, se llenó los sábados, ¿por qué Jesús fija su atención precisamente en este hombre? Estamos hablando de un tiempo en el que los paralíticos, los ciegos, los sordos, tienen que mendigar para subsistir. Este hecho los colocaba en el lugar más bajo en la escala social; y les tocaba sufrir la vergüenza de tener que depender de la caridad ajena para sobrevivir. ** ¡Y el Señor se fija justo en él!Mateo y Marcos dicen que «tenía seca una mano». Y Lucas añade que era «la mano derecha» (Luc. 6:6). Definitivamente, Dios está en los detalles. Este es el Dios que observa a una viuda colocar dos centavitos en el arca de la ofrenda, mientras los ricos echaban cuantiosas sumas. El mismo Dios que vio a Natanael cuando oraba debajo de la higuera, ya Zaqueo subido a un árbol de sicómoro.Ese día, en la sinagoga, el Señor pidió al hombre de la mano seca que se levantara, y luego lo sano de su mal (ver Mar. 3: 3-5). Pero ese fue el segundo milagro del día. El primero se produjo cuando, de todos los presentes, la atención del Salvador se fijó precisamente en él. ¿No es también un milagro que el Señor se haya fijado en ti y en mí?Gracias, Jesús, porque te interesas en los detalles de mi vida. Y también porque notas aun mis pequeños esfuerzos para agradarte.* Citas familiares de Bartlett, ed. 16:1, Little, Brown and Company; 1992, pág. 783. ** Albert Nolan, Jesus before Cliristianity, Orbis Books, 1999, p. 29

Day 13 – Lenten Prayer and Reflection – 8th March 2021   Today the theme of our readings is about prophets and prophecy and the prophetic role that we have in our world. It's important especially in a time when the church itself is deeply involved in having an impact on society, the role of prophecy and the work of a prophet. What do we do looks so important for us to understand. So the first reading is taken from 2 Kings 5 and we are introduced to the prophet Elisha and his mission there. 2 Kings 5:1 Now Naaman was the commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy. We are introduced to this commander of the king of Aram who had a lot of gifts but he also had a terrible problem. I think this reflects for us what life is. Every one of us has some giftedness, some goodness, but every one of us has a weakness, a challenge, a problem in our life as well. We wish that we had other people's strength and gave away our weaknesses but we have to deal with both. We have giftedness, we have weakness and together it makes us who we are. 2 Kings 5:2-3 Now bands of raiders from Aram had gone out and taken captive a young girl from Israel and she served Naaman's wife. She said to her mistress, "If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy." We are now introduced to a slave girl. By no stretch of imagination can we think a slave girl is in a fortunate situation. They are in an enslaved situation. But the Bible is saying, God is working even in that slave girl, and creating a situation of blessing. As I was thinking about it and praying about it, all of us have unfortunate things that have happened in our life -- we have made the wrong choices and we've got caught up in the wrong things, or we fell into an unfortunate situation, we made the wrong decisions, and now sometimes we are stuck with it. The good news is, even there, if you start cooperating with God, God is able to start blessing from that place. This morning, this is good news, good news for all of us. Maybe we are caught up in a situation where we took the wrong job or married the wrong person as we think or went through a wrong decision we made, and now we are stuck with it. The good news is, if you start cooperating with God in that situation, God is able to work for good even there. Sometimes people never deal with the present because they are longing for the past or they are thinking, "In vain we should have a better way, we'll do a better thing." The good news is He is at work even in your present situation. I always quote St. Patrick, who was captured by robbers in England, taken to Ireland and because of his slavery in Ireland he was used by God to convert Ireland into Christianity. And Ireland is completely Catholic and Christian because of the mission of St. Patrick. We can see God is at work, to work in the unfortunate situations of our life. 2 Kings 5:4-5 Naaman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel had said. "By all means, go," the king of Aram replied. "I will send a letter to the king of Israel."   Politicians have been writing letters even from those those times. 2 Kings 5:5 continued So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents of silver... 2 Kings 5:6 The letter that he took to the king of Israel read: "With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman to you so that you may cure him of his leprosy." We have a very interesting reaction from the king of Israel. 2 Kings 5:7 As soon as the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his robes and said, "Am I God? Can I kill and bring back to life? Why does this fellow send someone to me to be cured of his leprosy? See how he is trying to pick a quarrel with me!" The king was a politician, and I would say he would have been a professional in state-craft, handling people, working with things, and he looked at this event in and through his political reality. Through his political reality he understood that the king of Aram was trying to pick a fight with him. Why did that happen to him? He was so caught up in this political reality. There is a message for all of us here. When we get caught up in the things that happen around us and the people around us, they become our only reality. When that happens we are stuck within time and space. We can be religious, we can pay lip service to religion. We can quote the scripture, we can tell the principles of Christianity, but the truth is we are stuck in this dimension of politics and human situations. That's exactly what happened to the king. I'm sure he would have gone to the temple and said his prayers. I'm sure he had prophets, he had priests, but his reality was the political one. Our reality can be the social one, our job, what's happening in our families. That can be our reality and that's the only one -- it causes us depression, sadness, anger, stress. Why? We are caught in this one dimension as reality. That's the curse of being caught up in this world. 2 Kings 5:8 When Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes, he sent him this message: "Why have you torn your robes? Have the man come to me and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel." Elisha tells him there is a man who has a connection beyond space and time. He has a connection with God, he hears God, he knows God and he is able to bring God into this world. That's what prophesy is. A prophet is someone who has a connection with God and can bring the realities of God into this world, so that people trapped in the realities of this world can know God, hear God and find answers from God who operates outside space and time. It happens to all of us as well. We become prisoners of this world and we need the prophets, the people who will bring the realities of God into our world and change what is happening around us. We know what happened. They went to Elisha and Elisha didn't come out. They sent him a message and said another servant is there, again a little person. He went and told Elisha, "This great soldier has come asking for healing" and Elisha says, "Tell him to go and have a bath in the Jordan river." This guy gets really angry. He says, "He didn't even come and talk to me." How was Elisha behaving this way, not afraid to   affront this soldier, not afraid to tell the king what he thought? You can see that on one side. On the other side, you have the king frightened about what the other king was thinking, afraid of the ramifications of rejecting this letter. Can you see the difference? The difference is, I think, because Elisha had a connection with God. His reality was different. Therefore, he was not afraid to confront somebody. He was not afraid to be in the bad books of somebody else. He didn't really care. Then the servant comes in. We have little people doing great things in these readings. 2 Kings 5:13-14 Naaman's servants went to him and said, "My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, 'Wash and be cleansed'!" So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy. When you go to Holy Land you'll see the dead sea mud is put into boxes and sold as the answer. You rub it on your face and dark people become fair. Naaman had the same thing working. What's important here is, the little people whom God used and the prophet, the prophet who was free of the political interactions between the two kings, who was free of the importance of the man, the commander, that was sent to him. He was free of them. Why? Because he had a connection with God. The real problem with being a part of an institution is that the realities of people become more real than God. So much so that pleasing people, holding our position, having the right words, being a diplomat becomes more important than listening to God and responding to Him. And we can lose God because of that. We can be serving Him, but actually we lost Him, because the institution has become a reality. And that's why all prophets were in the wilderness, because if they were in the temple, or they were in the palace, they would have been pleasing the kings. And that's the difference between a Jeremiah and the temple prophets, because he had this freedom. Even this great prophet of God. Now we go to the gospel, and in the gospel we have, again, prophecy. Again the gift of the prophet and prophecy given to us in the gospel. One thing we know is Jesus knew how to make friends. He knew how to talk to people. He knew how to talk to sinners, he knew how to talk to broken people, he knew how to really deal with a leper, but his skills in dealing with the powerful was really a problem. And you can see here: Luke 4: 24-26 "Truly I tell you," he continued, "no prophet is accepted in his hometown. I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land. Yet Elijah was not sent to any one of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. In other words Jesus is saying, God worked outside the religion of Israel. Outside the frame of their understanding, and it was really annoying these people. And we must remember that. We belong to God, but God doesn't belong to us. I think that that's really the challenge we have. There is this famous author called Albert Nolan, and he asked the question, "Was Jesus a Christian?" It's a challenge, and he brings out the answer, he's bigger than Christianity. And God is bigger than what we   are doing or bigger than the institution. And we need to understand that and His working is bigger. If you look at the reaction Jesus got in verse 28: Luke 4:28-29 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him down the cliff. If you think Jesus was pleasing to all, and happy with everybody, here is the reading. They took him to throw him down the cliff. The security of God is given here. Luke 4:30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way. Why did he walk right through the crowd and go on his way? Because his time had not yet come. Why was Jesus a controversial figure? He's a great prophet, the Prophet of prophets. What does that mean? He was hearing God, listening to God and revealing God's heart to our world. And because he did that, he didn't fit into the times, he didn't fit into the system that existed then. That's what happens to prophets and we need to suffer for that. But it is in that suffering that that time is prepared for the future. Everyone who made a change in the world, was not accepted in their time. If you don't have the internal peace and freedom to be rejected, you can never fulfill the call of prophecy that God has for us. For that you need a connection with God. This morning I just like to share with you, we are going through a situation where the church is dealing with the Easter bombings. We are dealing with the government, we are dealing with the issues of how to handle this. And I was just thinking, is there some light that God can give us? In 2014, Pope Francis went to Jerusalem, the Holy Land. When he went to the Holy Land, they took him to the hall of the holocaust. To those who don't know what that is, it is actually a massive museum in which all the things that were used and the photographs of the 6 million Jews who died in the concentration camps of Europe. They have even transported a railway carriage there, for people to see how they were transported. Photographs of these people killed, walking naked. And they were expecting Pope Francis to condemn what had happened there and also to talk to the people. There is a movement today in the world to deny the holocaust, to say that it never happened, it's built by the Jewish thinking, so that people would not take the responsibility for the holocaust. Therefore, the Jews were expecting Pope Francis to condemn the deniers of the holocaust. It was a politically tricky moment. Whatever he said was going to really have an impact. What he said that day, is a guideline on the gift of prophecy. He pointed people who had expected a political condemnation, an action, to a higher reality. I think that's what a prophet does. Not only explain what is the present political situation but points people to a higher reality. There is something bigger that is taking place here. And how did he do that? I thought it's really beautiful. He quoted Genesis 3:9: Genesis 3:9 ..."Adam, where are you?"   See the beautiful words. The brilliance was Genesis 3:9 is accepted by the Jews as the word of God, accepted by the Islam religion as the word of God, accepted by Christians. And he brought out this question, "Adam, where are you?" Then he said these words: "Adam, where are you? I no longer recognize you. Who are you, O man? What have you become? Of what horror have you been capable? What made you fall to such depths?" What did he do? He showed the problem of humanity, not just the problem of a race, not just the problem of a religion, not just the problem of a people. He brought out the problem of humanity. He said the murder of 6 million Jews cries out a problem of humanity itself. That there is this wickedness, there is this sinfulness, there is this terrible thing that can make religious people do terrible things. If you look at the people who carried out the holocaust, mainly the German people, they brought out the greatest classic music the world has ever seen. They brought out some of the greatest machines that the world has ever seen, and they brought out the greatest talents, but they also brought out some of the base instincts that you cannot even imagine. And I think, we are called in this time, to remind our world and our nation, that there is a deep human problem hidden within the destruction and the bombing. That religion carried out to extremes can actually make you a monster. But how does one actually bring them to understand this. Is it by condemnation alone? Is it by attack alone? Or is there a deeper place we need to go to? And Pope Francis gives it beautifully. He spoke in the museum of the holocaust, and he goes on like this: "Today, in this place, we hear once more, the voice of God. O Adam, where are you? What made you do this?" And then he brilliantly quotes from the prophet Baruch, from Baruch 1:15. Pope Francis says: "From the ground there rises up a soft cry. Have mercy on us O Lord. To you O Lord, our God, belongs righteousness. But to us, confusion of face and shame." In other words, Pope Francis reminded we challenge people to repent, to turn to God, to find their deeper self, to transform, to change from the heart, that's the role of the prophets. Not just to condemn and punish. That's the role of justice in the world, and we need to do that. But it goes beyond, and we invite people, by bringing God's heart into that situation, recognize what God is telling you in this. When people hear God's voice, they will see a bigger meaning and a deeper purpose in what has happened, and then repentance bears fruit. A transformation that can make sure that no more Easter Sunday violences will take place in our world. Because the heart must be shattered into repentance and broken. It is beautifully said: "The devil exposes and condemns to destroy. But God exposes to heal, to forgive and transform." And I think that's really the challenge, because when God searched for Adam, He was seeking Adam to heal him, to transform him, to bless him. But Adam was hiding. And today in our world, challenging the attitude of extremism has to be at a deeper place than mere arguments of what is right and wrong. It's a deeper place, bringing the heart of Christianity, that it puts to shame those who would like to give violence as an answer. And that's why we have our Lord hanging on the cross. He says, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." And we have the Centurion at his feet, looking at him. And he says, "Truly this man was the Son of God." What did he see in this? Did he see a crown? Did he see a purple robe? Did he see a throne? Did he see his armies? Or did he see the power of the something that came from heaven and was revealed while Jesus was dying on that cross? We are deeply challenged, we need to pray, not only that the truth is revealed, not only that the reality of what happened is known, but also that the power of God will bring about a transformation and a change, that can really make a difference to our world.

A very rare sight awaited many a rambler who took to the Blueway over the weekend. And many were drawn out by the good weather. Three jet black Swans with deep red beaks were spotted in a few locations along the River Suir from down as far as Carrick to close to Clonmel. Albert Nolan, Treasurer of the Tipperary Branch of Bird Watch Ireland, talks to Fran about the swans and how rare a sight is it to see them in Ireland, or here even?
