Western liberal societies are characterized by two stories: a positive story of freedom of conscience and the recognition of community and human rights, and a negative story of unrestrained freedom ...that leads to self-centeredness, vacuity, and the destructive compromise of human values. Can the Catholic Church play a more meaningful role in assisting liberal societies in telling their better story? Australian ethicist Robert Gascoigne thinks it can. InThe Church and Secularityhe considers the meaning of secularity as a shared space for all citizens and asks how the Church can contribute to a sensitivity to-and respect for-human dignity and human rights. Drawing on Augustine'sCity of Godand Vatican II'sGaudium et spes, Gascoigne interprets the meaning of freedom in liberal societies through the lens of Augustine's "two loves," the love of God and neighbor and the love of self, and reveals how the two are connected to our contemporary experience.The Church and Secularityargues that the Church can serve liberal societies in a positive way and that its own social identity, rooted in Eucharistic communities, must be bound up with the struggle for human rights and resistance to the commodification of the human in all its forms.
This study explores the relationship between the metaphysical conception of the Church that can be found in Jan Hus’ treatise De ecclesia, and its possible social realization. The influences of this ...approach (Wycliffe and Augustine) are looked at, as are the problems that these influences bring with them. Hus’ conception of the church has broad social consequences, because Hus understands the church non-institutionally, i.e. as a collective organism of all who are predetermined for salvation. That is why, according to him, the Church is the pinnacle of all creation. If however we take this conception of the Church and the associated dualism between the Damned and the Church of the Chosen truly for what they are, and add in the eschatological expectation of the end of time and the coming of the Antichrist, then we might expect the revolutionary result of Hussitism. Lastly, the possible areas in which we can see Hus’ potential for broad social reform are shown.
The purpose of this article is to explore an aspect of the Catholic theology of the 19th century which is relatively unknown: namely the Roman School and Carlo Passaglia’s position within it. This ...contribution is focused on presenting the main theological treatise of Carlo Passaglia (1812–87), De Ecclesia Christi (1853–56), an unprecedented work in the context of 19th-century theology, from which a Trinitarian ecclesiology, rooted in the economy of salvation, emerges. The article will be divided into three parts: the first will provide a brief outline of the Roman School, which played a significant role in the theology of the 19th century; the second will offer a biography of Passaglia; finally, the third will focus on the De Ecclesia and will present a basic survey of the whole monograph in order to highlight the most significant aspects of Passaglia’s ecclesiology. Moreover, this contribution will seek to emphasize that several aspects of Passaglia’s Trinitarian ecclesiology went on to be developed by the Second Vatican Council, particularly in Lumen Gentium.
La Comisión teológica preparatoria del Concilio Vaticano ll compuso, entre junio de 1960 y octubre de 1962, ocho esquemas destinados al Concilio. La preparación--que se basó en los deseos del ...pontífice y las peticiones de obispos de todo el mundo-, se articuló a lo largo de diversas sesiones plenarias que fueron siempre preparadas o seguidas de reuniones de la subcomisión y del incansable trabajo del P. Sebastián Tromp sj, secretario de la Comisión. En la Comisión trabajaron bajo la dirección de su presidente, el cardenal Alfredo Ottaviani, teólogos y obispos llegados de todo el mundo. En nuestro artículo nos referimos sobre todo a Yves Congar op y a Henri de Lubac sj.
Tato studie se zabývá vztahem mezi metafyzickým pojetím církve, které nalezneme ve spisu Jana Husa O církvi, a jeho možným společenským uskutečněním. Je poukázáno na vlivy tohoto přístupu (Viklef ...a Augustin) a na obtíže, které tyto vlivy s sebou nesou. Husovo pojetí církve má celospolečenské důsledky, protože Hus chápe církev neinstitucionálně, tedy jako kolektivní organismus všech, kteří jsou predeterminováni ke spáse. Proto je podle něj církev vrcholem všeho stvoření. Pokud se však toto pojetí církve a s ním spojený dualismus mezi církví vyvolených a zatracenými vezme skutečně realisticky, spolu s eschatologickým očekáváním konce časů a příchodu Antikrista, pak lze očekávat revoluční vyústění, které nastalo s husitstvím. Nakonec je poukázáno na možné body, ve kterých můžeme vidět Husův celospolečenský reformní potenciál.
Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit der Beziehung zwischen der metaphysischen Auffassung der Kirche, die wir in der Schrift De ecclesia von Jan Hus finden, und deren möglicher gesellschaftlicher Verwirklichung. Dabei wird auf den Einfluss dieses Denkansatzes (Wyclif und Augustinus) und auf die Schwierigkeiten hingewiesen, die diese Einflüsse mit sich bringen. Die Auffassung von Kirche bei Hus hat gesamtgesellschaftliche Konsequenzen, da Hus die Kirche nicht-institutionell auffasst, d. h. als kollektiven Organismus aller Menschen, die für das Seelenheil prädestiniert sind. Daher ist für Hus die Kirche die Krönung aller Schöpfung. Wird jedoch diese Auffassung von Kirche und der damit verbundene Dualismus zwischen der Kirche der Auserwählten und den Verlorenen realistisch verstanden und in Verbindung zum erwarteten Ende aller Zeiten und der Ankunft des Antichrist gesetzt, dann sind revolutionäre Folgen zu erwarten, wie im Hussitentum geschehen. Zum Schluss der Studie wird auf mögliche Punkte hingewiesen, in denen wir das gesamtgesellschaftliche Potential von Jan Hus für Reformen sehen können.

Este estudio pretende analizar la "Nota Praevia explicativa" sobre la Iglesia en el Concilio. Trata de profundizar en dicha nota y compararla con la constitución "Lumen Gentium", de forma que se ...compruebe si explicita o no el sentido inspirado por el Concilio. Se interpretan aportaciones de diferentes autores sobre el tema.
La constitución dogmática "De Ecclesia" fue proyectada por la Comisión Teológica preparatoria del Concilio en 1962. Se promulgó oficialmente en 1964 con el nombre de "Lumen Gentium". El Concilio ...Vaticano II es el Concilio que más ha profundizado y, de manera más original, en la doctrina de la Iglesia.
