O artigo discute os conflitos de enquadramento e contraenquadramento desencadeados pela mobilização da Igreja Católica no Brasil em torno das questões ambientais. O primeiro passo consiste em mostrar como sacerdotes brasileiros manejaram, ao longo das últimas décadas, as molduras interpretativas estabelecidas pela ecoteologia católica oficial, elaborada no Vaticano. Em seguida, a análise se desloca para as principais características das contestações antiambientalistas encampadas pelo Instituto Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira (IPCO), uma espécie de think tank do conservadorismo católico brasileiro. Por fim, são examinadas algumas das convergências entre os enquadramentos propostos pelo IPCO e pelo atual governo federal brasileiro.AbstractThe article aims to discuss the conflicts of framing and counter-framing raised by the environmental mobilization of the Catholic Church in Brazil. In the first part, it is presented how the Brazilian priests maneuvered, in the last decades, the frameworks established by the official Catholic ecotheology created in the Vatican. Then, the analysis proceeds to the main characteristics of the anti-environmentalist contests carried out by the Instituto Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira (IPCO) [Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Institute], a kind of think tank of Brazilian Catholic conservatism. Finally, some convergences between the frames proposed by the IPCO and members of the current federal government in Brazil are examined.

The Revolution

Scholars have debated the effects of the Guatemalan Revolution (1944-1954), i.e. the political and social changes carried out during the decade, on the closed corporate community. Many scholars, including the anthropologists Carol Smith and Ralph Beals, have looked at the political pressures and changes during the Revolution in attempts to explain the decline of the traditional community during the decade. Meanwhile, the historian Jim Handy has challenged the common political explanations for the downfall of the community and questioned the degree to which the communities are “closed” and “corporate.” Most scholars agree, however, that the revolutionary period witnessed a breakdown in the traditional village structures.

Neounia is one of the common names of the new unified church, which was introduced by the Polish Roman Catholic bishop on the Ukrainian and Byelorussian lands of Poland during the interwar period (1923-1939). This church had a number of other names: Catholicism of the Eastern Rite, Eastern Rite, Biblical (double-rite) union. Officially, it was called the Parishes of the Catholic Church of the Eastern Catholic Rite or of the Roman Catholic Church of the Eastern Rite. The Church, through which the Vatican sought to convert the "united East" into the bosom of Catholicism, was often referred to as a "government union", since it was in some cases facilitated by local government officials. The unofficial name - neounya - contrasted with the "old union" proclaimed in Brest in 1596.

The article by S. Prysukhin “The Principle of Subsidiarity: Lessons from the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church” analyzes the achievements of the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church, represented by the works of Leo XIII, Pius XI, Pius XII, John Paul II, revealing the meaningful characteristics of the concept of “the principle of subsidiarity”, its role and meaning in the system of Christian values. The principle of subsidiarity makes possible such relationships in social life, when the community of higher order does not interfere in the internal life of the community of the lower order, taking over the proper functions of that function; for the common good it gives it when necessary support and assistance, thereby coordinating its interaction with other social structures. The principle of subsidiarity guides social practice to the promotion of the common good in the human community. The spread and application of the principle of subsidiarity opposes the danger of "nationalization" of society and the most terrible manifestations of collectivism, restricts the absoluteization of power, bureaucratization of state and socio-cultural structures, becoming one of the guarantors of respect for the rights and freedoms of citizens of their country.

The ecumenical dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion is one of the most important and difficult part of activity of both communities. Eucharist is the main goal of ecumenism because in the common celebrating of the sacred liturgy the Christ’s Church is a visible sign of the unity for the world. One of the most important theological problems in the dialogue is the problem of transsubstantiation. For the Anglican Church this Catholic doctrine is against the biblical and rudimental teaching of primitive Christendom. The article shows the problem of trans- substantiation in the ecumenical perspective and in the context of Divine Worship: The Missal. The Catholic Eucharistic teaching is present in this new Western liturgical book, but the term of trans- substantiation does not exist there.

The papal bull Universalis Ecclesiae of 1850 set up a hierarchy of bishops with ordinary power to replace the vicars apostolic who had ruled the catholic church in England since 1688. It stated explicitly that the new bishops were to have all the necessary powers to rule their dioceses in the same way as titular bishops elsewhere, and it spoke clearly about the resumption of the ‘common law of the church’ in England. Yet the commitment of the Roman authorities to a fully independent hierarchy was not wholehearted. The church in England was to remain under the aegis of the Congregation of the Propagation of the Faith (Propaganda), whose normal brief was to look after missionary territories not stable enough to have properly constituted hierarchies. According to the bull, the English bishops were to send regular reports on the state of their dioceses to Rome, and were to be diligent in informing Propaganda ‘of everything which they shall think profitable for the spiritual good of their flocks’.

St. Augustine has long become the common and universal boast of Christianity. The Catholic Church sees in him one of the foremost witnesses of her tradition of teaching. She has given him the title of Doctor gratiae; upon him, down the course of ages, she has ever lavished her praises. But the early Protestant reformers, too, have turned to him as their forerunner, alleging their own doctrine to be his. Men of thought and scholars of diverse creeds and sects are flushed with admiration for him and are profuse in their eulogies. Yet, surely, these individuals and religious bodies cannot all rightfully claim him to be one with them in faith without a contradiction. He must belong either to the Catholica, which he so assiduously and indefatigably defended for so many years, or be an Anglican, or a Protestant of some other sort.

Resumo: Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar uma reflexão acerca das principais críticas do Governo Brasileiro ao Sínodo para a Pan-Amazonia celebrado em outubro passado de 2019.  As objeções despontaram após a publicação dos textos de consulta e do Instrumentum laboris do Sínodo. Em geral nomes proeminentes da estrutura governamental questionaram as pautas sinodais. Elas gravitam em torno do fato que para alguns políticos Brasileiros o Sínodo apresentava risco a Soberania Nacional ou que suas conclusões poderiam ser manipuladas por ambientalistas contra o governo. Esse processo gerou rusgas entre a Igreja católica e o governo e não representavam o escopo do Sínodo. Palavras-Chaves: Críticas – Governo Federal – Sínodo pan-amazônico – Igreja CatólicaAbstract: This article aims to present a reflection on the main criticisms of the Brazilian Government to the Pan-Amazon Synod celebrated last October 2019. The objections emerged after the publication of the consultation texts and the Instrumentum laboris of the Synod. In general, prominent names in the government structure questioned the synod guidelines. They gravitate to the fact that for some Brazilian politicians the Synod posed a risk to National Sovereignty or that their conclusions could be manipulated by environmentalists against the government. This process generated rifts between the Catholic Church and the government and did not represent the scope of the Synod. Keywords: Criticism - Federal Government - Pan-Amazonian Synod - Catholic Church

The paper focuses on the analyses of the socio-political concepts presented in the Catholic social weekly “Ład” in the years 1981–1984. In the period under question, the periodical was a media platform which enabled the expression of views by lay Catholics who perceived opportunities for increasing their socio-political activity in the political reality of Poland at that time. The model of community proposed by them, as well as the way of defining the common good, were for the most part consistent with the concepts of the social teaching of the Catholic Church and conformed to the guidelines of the hierarchs of the Catholic Church in Poland – especially Primate Stefan Wyszyński. The calls to action for the common good were combined with the idea of reconciliation, dialogue, and cooperation. Accordingly, the national community was thus considered the most important community of all. It should be emphasized that these concepts were supposed to enhance the power and importance of this particualt community of Catholics in public life and to contribute to establishing their position as the most important representative of the Catholics on the political scene of the period.
