You gotta see this…    In something brand new for Let Me Be Frank, we recorded the show live in front of an audience at St Mary Church in Greenwich!   “What do you want to talk about?” I asked Bishop Caggiano before we started rolling the cameras.   “Let's see what the people in the audience have on their minds,” he smiled.   And so this week's episode is audience questions (and follow ups). We talked about: …why do pastors have term limits? …how do we get families of children in CCD to be more active? …how do we revitalize our Catholic schools? …how can we pray the rosary better? …can you help me forgive someone who continues to hurt me?   I'm sure you'll enjoy this episode… and please join us for the next live audience session on Friday, May 30th at St Rose of Lima in Newtown!   Pax Christi, Steve Lee The other guy on Let Me Be Frank   LINKS Email List: https://www.veritascatholic.com/ To Support Veritas: https://www.veritascatholic.com/donate Other Shows The Tangent on Veritas: https://www.youtube.com/@thetangentonveritas Daily Reflections: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyCatholicReflections Restless Catholic Young Adults: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1SbvGysG6C0mnQRAVcagkg

Frieden – ein großes Wort, das oft selbstverständlich klingt. Doch was bedeutet es wirklich, sich aktiv für den Frieden einzusetzen? Die multimediale Ausstellung "Gesichter des Friedens" im Stadttheater Ingolstadt zeigt Menschen, die genau das tun – aus ganz unterschiedlichen Hintergründen und mit bewegenden Geschichten. Ihre Gesichter erzählen von Versöhnung, Engagement und der Suche nach Gerechtigkeit. Veranstaltet wird die Ausstellung unter anderem von PAX Christi.

Controversies in Church History returns to its ongoing series on the Latinization of the Eastern Churches. The tenth installment deals with the trials of the Armenian Catholic Church, which faced persecution within the Ottoman Empire but also suspicion from Rome, which led to a brief schism in the 1870s. Along the way we discuss the wider context of the Ottoman Empire, Vatican I and the calamity of the Armenian Genocide during WWI. Please spread the word about the podcast if you like what you hear.

Scottie reeve: Peace, Pax Romana vs Pax Christi - 8 December 2024 by Blueprint Church

Vom Feldgeistlichen zum Friedensaktivisten - der katholische Priester Max Josef Metzger hatte im Ersten Weltkrieg an einer der härtesten Schlachten zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich teilgenommen und wandelte sich durch seine Kriegserlebnisse zu einem der bedeutendsten Friedensaktivisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Metzger wurde am 17. April 1944 von den Nazis hingerichtet, weil seine „Idee des Friedens“ zu gefährlich für deren Macht war. Am 17. November 2024 wird Metzger in einem feierlichen Gottesdienst im Freiburger Münster seliggesprochen und in den Kreis der „Vorbilder im Glauben“ aufgenommen. Was ihn auszeichnet und welche Positionen der Priester und Theologe vertreten hat, darüber spricht Dr. Christian Heß in der neuen Ausgabe von „Alpha und Omega – Kirche im Gespräch“. Heß ist Priester in der Kirchengemeinde March-Gottenheim. Er hat seine Doktorarbeit über Metzger geschrieben und kennt den (Mit-)Gründer von Pax Christi und der Christkönigsgesellschaft wie kein Zweiter. Moderation/Redaktion: Ralf Schöffmann

Patrick has a profound discussion about the sacred bonds of marriage and the divine role of Mary as the spouse of the Holy Spirit. He distinguishes doctrines from customs in the Catholic faith, highlighting their significance and divine origin. For an insightful dive into this theological topic, he recommends exploring Pope John Paul II's encyclical, Redemptoris Mater.   Mary - What do you know about the group called Pax Christi? (03:05) Tony - Can I walk my bicycle inside the Church so it doesn't get stolen? (12:53) John - What are the ramifications of Mary being the spouse of the Holy Spirit? (15:30) James Earl Jones was Catholic (23:17) George - Can you talk about tonight's debate and the values we should look for as Catholics? (33:35) Jackie - Can a Catholic attend a Jewish Chabad ceremony? (41:56)

(2:00) Bible Study: NA 2:1, 3; 3:1-3, 6-7 Father talks about the ethnicity cleansing of Nineveh MT 16:24-28 If there was nothing in it for you, would you still follow Jesus? (18:29) Break 1 Father answers when Jesus actually gave Peter the keys to the kingdom. (22:50) Letters: Father answers a whether or not confession is needed because the curtain was torn in the temple, what it means to have baptism for the dead and a visionary who saw visions of the life of Christ. (36:23) Break 2 (39:06) Word of the Day: Prophet (41:43) Phones: Daniel - Thank you for everything he's given, and that from the Catechism supports in the Kingdom of God.  In CCC 221, the whole idea of his kingly nature is love.   What do you think? Jackie - How do you get forgiveness from someone who's passed on? Mary - Does he know anything about Pax Christi, they're very leftist? Charles - Who knew and who didn't know and when that the Ark was in the Holy of Holies? Harriat – Can I see a relic if I am not in the state of grace?

In Wat blijft gaat Lara Billie Rense in gesprek met tekstschrijver en regisseur Joeri Vos over het fenomeen Maria. Met muziektheatergezelschap De Veenfabriek maakte Vos de voorstelling MARIA MARIA MARIA, over de bekendste moeder ter wereld. Hij laat daarin Maria het publiek rechtstreeks toespreken: Jacobien Elffers speelt Maria en vertelt, onder begeleiding van muzikanten, over haar leven en dat van haar kinderen. Vos deed onderzoek naar moederschap en liet zich inspireren door verhalen uit de Bijbel en de Koran, persoonlijke verhalen van de muzikanten en liederen over middeleeuwse wonderen. Wat leert Maria ons over menselijkheid en moederschap? Waarom is zij nog altijd zo'n enorme inspiratiebron voor kunstenaars over de hele wereld?  Verder in Wat blijft: gitarist Duane Eddy, econoom Bob Goudzwaard en theoloog Fred van Iersel. In het tweede uur en de podcast van Wat blijft: Theoloog, ethicus, bijzonder hoogleraar en hoofdaalmoezenier van het ministerie van Justitie Fred van Iersel had gedurende zijn leven en loopbaan eigenlijk maar één onderwerp: oorlog en vrede. Of preciezer: de ethiek van de krijgsmacht. Hij was betrokken bij de vredesbeweging Pax Christi en promoveerde in 1993 in de godgeleerdheid op het proefschrift 'Vrede leren in de kerk' dat de polarisatie beschrijft die de kerken doormaakten als gevolg van vredesactivisme.Toen hij ongeneeslijk ziek werd, ging hij op bedevaart naar Lourdes en daarover schreef hij een boek.

Theoloog, ethicus, bijzonder hoogleraar, hoofdaalmoezenier van het ministerie van Justitie Fred van Iersel was zijn leven lang bezig met het onderwerp oorlog, vrede en de ethiek van de krijgsmacht. Hij was betrokken bij de vredesbeweging Pax Christi, verleende geestelijke bijstand aan militairen, schreef boeken en doceerde in Tilburg; alles wat hij deed was met een enorme betrokkenheid. Hij was als kind al gehandicapt – hij was halfzijdig verlamd– iets dat hem nog meer stimuleerde vooral zijn intellect in te zetten voor de goede zaak. Toen hij uiteindelijk ernstig ziek werd, ging hij op bedevaart naar Lourdes.  Peter Blom volgt zijn spoor terug: Wat blijft, na de dood van Fred van Iersel?

“I think there's a major concern for living more in harmony with creation, which is a result of conversion,” says Bishop John Stowe, OFM Conv., “But I think Pope Francis is also, as our good shepherd, calling us to greater urgency to act because time is slipping away and we haven't done much.”  Bishop John Stowe is a Conventional Franciscan, the third bishop of Lexington, Kentucky and the bishop president of Pax Christi. Listen to Bishop Stowe's homily for the Fourth Sunday of Easter year B on this week's episode of “Preach.” After the homily, he shares with host Ricardo da Silva, S.J.—a Jesuit priest from South Africa, associate editor at America and associate pastor at the Church of St. Francis Xavier in Manhattan—how he connects the image of the Good Shepherd from the gospels to the climate crisis.

Tommaso Giannuzzi"La spiritualità del presbitero"Commento alle omelie crismali di Tonino BelloPrefazione di Vito AngiuliEdizioni Dehonianehttps://dehoniane.itA trent'anni dalla scomparsa del vescovo di Molfetta, si ripropone un commento alle omelie da lui tenute durante il suo ministero episcopale per la messa crismale. L'invito fondamentale, suggerito da don Tonino, è quello di puntare gli occhi su Cristo, fontana d'acqua viva, per rendere feconda la missione dei cristiani nel mondo.Tommaso Giannuzzi, nato a Galatina, si è formato nella spiritualità francescana. Nel suo ministero si è sempre dedicato all'insegnamento, al vicerettorato nei collegi arcivescovili della diocesi e alla direzione spirituale.Tonino (Antonio) Bello (1935–1993) è stato vescovo della diocesi di Molfetta-Ruvo-Giovinazzo-Terlizzi (Bari) e presidente nazionale di Pax Christi. Predicatore instancabile, colpì l'opinione pubblica con la sua marcia per la pace verso Sarajevo nel 1992, in pieno conflitto e in uno stato di salute reso ormai precario dalla malattia. Amava definirsi «vescovo con il grembiule», alludendo al gesto di Gesù che la sera del Giovedì santo lava i piedi ai suoi discepoli.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

Hey everyone! This is new Short, a preview of the latest patron only episode for everyone else. This is from Episode IV of our series on Latinization, which is on Rome's relationship with Eastern Christians in the Ottoman Empire between 1450 and 1800. In this clip, I discuss the relationship between Rome and the Maronite Church of Lebanon during the late 16th century, and how both sides sought to gain from their relationship, but which contributed to Latinization of the Maronites in the long run. The full episode will be available to all listeners at months end, but if you want to listen to it now (and free of ads), consider becoming a patron of the podcast.

Hey everyone! This is a new feature I will be using going forward. I provide early access to certain episodes to my supporters on Patreon, in particular the episodes in my longer ongoing series. After a month, I drop the episode for everyone. So, to give non-subscribers a sneak preview, I am going to share clips of the full episodes before they drop, to give you a sense of what's going on. The current series is on the topic of Latinization, how Rome "latinized" or otherwise made Eastern Churches in communion with her adopt Latin liturgical and disciplinary customs. This clip is from Episode III of that series, a primer for the Early Modern Period. In it, I discuss Pope Benedict XIV, a scholar and pontiff of the 18th century who wrote an encyclical on the Eastern Rites in communion with Rome called Allatae Sunt (1755). The clip focuses on his contention that, barring any question of orthodoxy (which popes have a natural right to investigate), Eastern Christians in communion with the Holy See ought to keep and celebrate their own rites and not be "Latinized" by missionaries. You can hear the full discussion of this episode later in the month, or you can go to Controversies in Church History's patreon account to get access now. Thanks to all of my listeners as always.

In this re-recording of a lecture given in early 2020, I take a look at the Gregorian Reform movement, a medieval movement that sought to reform the Christian world with the papacy as its champion. Beginning with monastic reforms in the tenth century, a series of reforming monks and clergy sought to free the Church from lay control while reforming the behavior of the clergy. When one of their number became Pope Gregory VII in 1073, the stage was set for a clash with the Holy Roman Emperor, as the reformers exalted papal authority in a bid to reform not only the Church itself but the entire Christian world.

On Friday, September 16th, the first ever Pax Christi New York State gathering will take place in conjunction with the 24th annual Kateri Peace Conference which will be held the next day September 17 at the St. Kateri National Shrine in Fonda, NY. Rosemarie Pace, state co-coordinator, discusses the emphasis on redressing the Catholic Church's mistreatment of indigenous people and the need to promote racial justice. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

En République démocratique du Congo, si le taux d'enfant par femme reste élevé, l'infertilité n'en demeure pas moins une préoccupation. Considérée comme un problème de femme par le passé, l'infertilité masculine est désormais prise en compte dans les principaux hôpitaux du pays. Difficile d'estimer avec précision son taux en RDC, mais avoir un enfant, c'est parfois le parcours du combattant pour certains couples et synonyme de rejet pour certaines femmes. À Kinshasa, des moyens existent pour pallier cela.  Des femmes de tout âge sont regroupées dans la salle d'attente de la clinique Pax Christi. Des jeunes filles qui viennent faire des dons d'ovocytes, des cellules reproductrices. Et puis celles qui ont la quarantaine, là, dans l'espoir de faire un enfant. L'une d'entre elles, qui a souhaité garder l'anonymat, a mis sept ans avant de tomber enceinte. « J'ai essayé, j'ai tenté de plusieurs manières. J'ai consulté des gynécologues, j'ai suivi des traitements. On m'a diagnostiqué une endométriose, après les traitements, on m'a dit que ça refonctionnerait. J'ai fait des essais, et ça n'a pas marché », confie-t-elle.  Finalement, seule la fécondation in vitro (FIV), la reproduction en laboratoire, a fonctionné. Un soulagement pour cette quadragénaire. En RDC, les femmes mariées sans enfant subissent souvent des humiliations, comme l'explique cette infirmière enceinte de 8 mois. « Imaginer un mariage sans enfant, c'est dur. Les habitants du quartier, les amis, les connaissances, savent que vous êtes mariée. La famille du mari se dit que la femme a avorté avant d'être marié à leur fils », raconte-t-elle.  Alors pour celles qui en ont les moyens, une FIV coûte environ 7 000 dollars, la clinique du Dr Chris Katsuva est la solution. Dans son cabinet, il reçoit des patientes souvent inquiètes. Le gynécologue est le premier à avoir développé cette technique en RDC,  face au constat d'une infertilité croissante. « Nous estimons à 30 ou 40% des couples au Congo infertiles. Dès que la femme atteint l'âge de 40 ans, le pourcentage de conception par cycle est de 3%. Il y a aussi le problème des infections, ainsi que d'autres maladies. Du côté des hommes, la diminution de la qualité et de la quantité des spermatozoïdes est un grave problème », explique le médecin. L'infertilité reste un problème tabou dans le pays, cachée par un taux de fertilité élevé. Les femmes congolaises avaient en moyenne 4,3 enfants en 2020, selon la Banque mondiale.

In 1899, pope Leo XIII wrote a letter to Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, condemning something called "Americanism." Many contemporary Catholic historians and scholars have claimed that "Americanism" is a phantom, a term of abuse by "conservative" Catholics hurled at their opponents. In this episode, we will talk about what "Americanism" is and and isn't, the American Church in the 19th century, and why pope Leo XIII condemned the ideas associated with the term "Americanism."

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Bruce Kent (1929–2022), published by Gavin on June 10, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Tank officer, Catholic monsignor, head of the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament 1980-1985. In 1973, while serving as a Catholic priest, Bruce Kent performed a formal exorcism of the Faslane nuclear submarine base. (No uploads of the photos unfortunately.) Kent strikes me as a model activist of a certain kind - highly invested in symbolism, in consciousness raising - a single issue politician - an agent in great stories and fine speeches. Clearly a good person. But to what end? During his tenure at CND, membership increased tenfold - mostly due to the coming of Trident and the associated massive spending. "This made it one of the largest political organisations in Britain and probably the largest peace movement in the world (outside the state-sponsored movements of the communist bloc)." He was famous, famous enough that someone sent him a letter bomb. Wikipedia claims that he was forced to resign from the priesthood for being too political, though this doesn't match his own description of events. He also signed on to Compassion in World Farming, why not. Two cheers CND was the first mass movement against x-risk. (Currently our best guess is that nuclear x-risk is relatively small, but this isn't obvious now and was far from obvious then.) But it's not enough to have the right cause: you need to get the intervention right too. CND are most famous for pushing unilateral disarmament for the UK. Insofar as this push has a theory of change, it's something like inspiring other countries to unilaterally disarm (moving the world to a Kantian equilbrium). On the face of it, this is unlikely to work; nonviolent protest only works if your opponents have scruples and/or if the opinion of the world matters to them. Some part of the push will be the classic desire for clean hands, rather than a real plan to reduce x-risk. (He's been called a useful idiot, but this doesn't seem fair either.) "Peace, not war". Well, yes. It would be nice if moving in a straight line, leading by example were the way to get there, and I don't know that it isn't, but trying it is very hazardous. Misc It's always difficult to evaluate impact. But the direct action and consciousness raising groups are the worst, because they won't even make up numbers for what they've done, besides the odd headcount at a march. I've spent 20 minutes trying to work out what Pax Christi, one of his other organisations, do. I think it's meetings. I haven't tried to look at CND's impact through direct action, for instance (before Kent's time) their exposing the emergency backup plan for post-apocalyptic UK government. Which seems pretty bad! But in general I think direct action has a place and I hope someone does a full accounting. "Bruce's razor-sharp intellect, together with his humour, tireless work, intolerance of flannel, and total commitment to his faith and principles, made him a leader of our movement beyond compare" (I have learned a new sense of flannel, though I liked it better when I misread it.) Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.

Join MJ and Jerry as they share stories and learnings about teaching skills and tools to disarm heal our hearts, connect within and with others, and turn from violence to wellness and peacemaking.   From MJ and Jerry's interview: “My mom was an activist and took me to Dr. King's marches and movements. But my dad said, what do you two want? And I said, Dad, you know, we want peace. And he said, how are you going to make it happen? When he said that, I said, Dad, you're right. If we want peace, we have to teach peace.”   “One little boy said, MJ, you're not going to live very long. And I said, why? And he said, well, you don't like guns. And there's a lot of bad people out there. And right away, I thought, wow, this is the stirrings. We need to equip people with the tools, the instruments, so to speak. Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. I asked myself this question okay, how am I going to teach peace? What's it going to be? And Jerry was such a supporter of let's go for it together. Let's be like Dr. King said, it takes more creativity to make peace than war.”   “We started peace camp… Kids are coming home with positive language. They're saying let's be a peacemaker, not a peace breaker; they're loving the peace train…there is no violence; it's run on love. Then we got into tools for peace and not weapons of war.”   “We would go and hang out and Jerry helped start a garden. They were having cookouts. We would just join. So it wasn't like we were bringing, but they also taught me. Some of the youth would say, MJ, if you take away our guns or our weapons you need to give us, replace them with something. And that really struck me. So, I have felt empowered that if we're gonna interrupt violence, we have to replace them with tools … tell them how to use it. Because of the fear, and especially now in this culture, when violence has been so on the uptick, we have pivoted to more focusing on social, emotional wellness. Because we know that the violence is coming out of lost connections and feeling that I don't count or I've lost my heart, my root, my centeredness.”   “We need to own that if we want peace, we have to work for it, give it space, give it a spotlight so that it will elevate the courage. At peace camp, the kids of all ages feel safety. They'll say, oh, I like it here. And I say why? And they say, because people are nice and you're like, well, shouldn't that be the way of the world? But that's not what we're all experiencing. So I don't like the phrase now anti-bullying or, you know, banners saying compassion, mindfulness, all those code words, because I feel like we have to really own that it takes focus and work.”   “The circle was healing because it's a listening time, trying to share not only our struggles, but our good times and also our dreams…. When Black Lives Matter broke out during the pandemic, I kept saying, if we keep shouting at each other and becoming more and more divided, when we come together how can we listen and share? So we started these circles and providing a safe place for people to become self-aware, but also aware of what another person is going through or what is causing them to think a certain way.”   “The littleness in Little Friends For Peace, is definitely that "littleness" of St. Francis. Your lifestyle and your vision, your approach to people, how it disarms violence in people's hearts and in fact their whole sense of walking lightly on the face of our Mother Earth…. It's our little way of trying to make a little difference in a big world, but it's the how to find joy in the little things and the smile and the kind word and the listening that will interrupt violence…. We are going to have to keep disarming our own heart and finding ways to build those connections.”   For a full transcript, please include episode number and email: fslfpodcast@fslf.org.   References: Church of the Saviour, Washington DC: a network of independent, ecumenical Christian faith communities and ministries that have grown out of the original COS community which was founded in the 1940's.

Sr Teresia Wamuyu Wachira, a Kenyan Loretto sister,  Co-President of Pax Christi International, and peace and justice advocate makes a passionate call for peace in the world. She calls for an end to the wars in Ukraine, Ethiopia-Tigray, Ituri in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and many other senseless wars going on in Africa and many parts of the world. She invites world leaders and governments in Africa to reduce their investment in arms and weapons of mass destruction, and invest in the education of their citizens, health, food production, environmental protection, and promotion of democracy, dialogue, and civic engagement. She invites us to embrace non-violence as the best approach to conflict resolution because violence and wars do not solve any problems. Her message of peace in this conversation is quite compelling and inspirational.
