This article is an investigation of the connotative meaning of the names used in the selected Catholic hymns. The meaning of names is analysed within the theoretical framework of conceptual metaphor developed by Lakoff and Johnson (2000) in their seminal work, Metaphors we live by and thereafter modified into the cognitive theory of metaphor. The study aims to demonstrate that for religious relevance and indigenisation, Catholicism adapted in Lifela tsa Bakriste particular Sesotho traditional aspects in order to express the nature and essence of God, Jesus Christ, the Church and other aspects to Basotho. The article concludes that Lifela tsa Bakriste collected by Skhakhane (1985) is an acculturation of Catholicism and traditional Sesotho poetry.

The increase in migration at the international level also increases the number of religiouslymixed marriages. The Catholic Church advises against entering into such marriages because thisissue refers to the laws of God and the question of preserving faith. The Catholic Church approvesof mixed marriages in terms of nationality or race because belonging to the Church is primarilydetermined by faith in Jesus Christ and baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity. Independentlyof canon law, progressive social secularization is noticeable on that subject matter.

Since the early 1980s, allegations of the sexual abuse of children by members of the clergy and other representatives of religious organizations have been reported in the media with alarming frequency. In North America, the majority of reports highlight the Catholic Church. Many of these allegations refer to incidents, which took place many years previously. This chapter explores three specific examples of other religious groups, that are not the Catholic Church, involved with the sexual abuse of children. These include the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons), Moravians, and Orthodox Judaism (Haredi).

Practical Dimension

Theologians have a particular task to provide discernment when expressing in interreligious dialogue the Christological proclamation that Jesus Christ is "'the way, the truth, and the life,' (Jn 14:6), in whom people may find the fullness of religious life, in whom God has reconciled all things to Himself" (Nostra Aetate, §3). Therefore, there is a need to renew the spirit of the Conciliar Declaration Nostra Aetate,, which reminds us that the Catholic Church rejects nothing that is true and holy in the other religions. The Church acknowledges with sincere reverence ("sincera cum observantia") that the other often religions reflect a ray of that Truth which enlightens all people. In this article, I highlight three different moments in which this sincere reverence towards other religions may be realized. The first moment may be called methodological and refers to the Ignatian tradition of the Spiritual Exercises. I develop first of all the praesupponendum (presupposition) as an attitude of being able to listen to the religious experience of the other; then the contemplatio ad amorem (contemplation in attaining love), as awareness and recognition of the action of the Spirit: being able to distinguish the religious experience of God from its theoretical and practical interpretations; finally the magis, the continuing transcending of the religious conscience in reaching out God: Deus semper maior (God is always greater). The second moment of my paper is more theoretical. I deal with the question of Truth within the interreligious dialogue and how God’s ineffable transcendence and otherness have been revealed in this Jesus of Nazareth; "No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him" (Jn 1:18). The humanity of God, Jesus’ particularity, is not a limitation for interreligious dialogue, but constitutes an adequate perspective for determining the universality of Jesus Christ. The third moment considers the practical dimension of the dialogue. I relate the inner otherness of God (Trinity) with God’s becoming other than himself (Incarnation), showing how the evangelical praxis of the believer, who makes himself everything for everybody, is able in the praxis, more than in theory, to sustain the eschatological tension between the already and not yet that is characteric of interreligious dialogue.

O artigo evoca o que significou, não só para a Igreja católica romana, mas para a Igreja de Jesus Cristo, presente também em outras Igrejas cristãs, a iniciativa inspirada de João XXIII de convocar o Concílio Vaticano II. Estuda-se o complexo problema da recepção do Concílio e mostra-se que a crise atual do aggiornamento Conciliar é resultado, paradoxalmente, do seu sucesso, analisado a partir de três temas conciliares: a soberania da Palavra divina e sua tradição, a eclesiologia de comunhão e as aberturas ecumênicas desta eclesiologia. Conclui-se mostrando a obrigatoriedade para a Igreja do aggiornamento conciliar e o seu futuro.ABSTRACT: The article evokes what John XXIII’s initiative of convoking the Vatican II council meant not only for the Roman Catholic Church , but also for the church of Jesus Christ, present in ther Christian churches. It studies the complex issue of the council reception and shows that the current crisis of conciliar aggiornamento is paradoxically the result of its success by analyzing three conciliar themes: the sovereignty of divine Word and its tradition, the ecclesiology of communion, and the ecumenical openness of this ecclesiology. It concludes by showing the mandatory character of the conciliar aggiornamento for the church and its future.

Nos últimos tempos, particularmente após o Concílio Ecumênico Vaticano II, emerge e prevalece o movimento ecumênico, ou seja, a consciência de que a Igreja sempre se encontra em processo de novas formas, como também, e principalmente, de comunhão na diversidade a partir do comum seguimento de Jesus Cristo e da missão evangelizadora por ele confiada a seus seguidores. Por isso, advoga a continuidade e a consolidação do espírito ecumênico.Palavras-chave: Igreja católica. Reforma luterana. História. Conflitos.

For this reason, it advocates the continuity and the consolidation of the ecumenical spirit.Keywords: Catholic Church. Lutheran Reform. History. Conflicts. Ecumenism.

This research aims to find out the basic meaning of the traditional ritual of Basaru 'sumangat in the context of batalah for Dayak Kanayatn people, the meaning of baptized sacrament in the Catholic Church, the relationship between Adat basaru' sumangat in the context of Batalah Kanayatn traditions with baptized sacrament Catholic Church. Using a qualitative approach, data were obtained from the results of in-depth interviews which focused on the village of Nangka, Landak district. The results of the research analysis show that: First, the basic meaning of the Batalah tradition of the Kanayatn Dayak people in Nangka Village is a ceremony that allows a newborn to gain safety. According to Kanayat Dayak belief in Nangka Village by carrying out the batalah ceremony, all bad things in the baby's body are removed thanks to the prayers delivered by the panyangahatn priest to Jubata or God, and by carrying out this batalah ceremony the existence of a baby will be recognized in society. Second, the meaning of the batalah tradition is almost the same as the tradition of the baptismal ceremony in the Catholic Church, which focuses on the appreciation of union with Jesus Christ which leads to holiness and salvation. Third, the relationship between the basaru 'sumangat ceremony in the context of the Batalah Dayak Kanayatn tradition with the sacrament ceremony of baptism in the Catholic Church is the path of holiness to salvation and the initiation of salvation. The path of holiness to salvation means that the holiness received through baptism or through the bat ceremony brings a person to salvation. Whereas the initiation of salvation is intended as a process that initiates a person into belonging to those who have safety. Both as members of the community (in babies who are questioned) and as members of the Church (in people who are baptized).

For sociologists, Jesus Christ and the associated Catholic Church are generally seen are regressive, conservative, and authoritarian. For this reason, Sociologists avoid reading the Bible as a textual research source. Overcoming sociological resistance, however and examining the Christian New Testament reveals a story much different than expected. While the Church may certainly be conservative, regressive, authoritarian, even predatorial, Jesus Christ and his apostles were not. Exegesis of Christian gospels reveals not a gentle shepherd of sheeple, but a revolutionary Christ that is neither conservative, gentle, nor passive—an impassioned and committed revolutionary set on progressive social change and fundamental revision of elite power structures. Keywords: Religion, Christianity, Jesus Christ, Critical theory, Narrative analysis.

Shaykh Abu Salih the Armenian reported that in the VII century there was a Nasara Nasathirah (Nestorian) Church in Fansur or Fahsur. According to Y. Bakker, Fansur or Fahsur is the name of a country in North Sumatra and the Nestorian Church is the Catholic Church. Y. Bakker’s interpretation is somewhat weak for two reasons. First, Fansur or Fahsur can also refer to a country in northwest India. Second, in the seventh century of our era there was not yet section of the Nestorian Church which was in full communion with Rome; thus the Nasara Nasathirah Church cannot be called a Catholic Church if the Catholic Church is understood as a Church that is in full communion with the Roman Church. However, the Nasara Nasathirah Church can be called a Catholic Church if the Catholic Church means the Church which based herself on the faith in Jesus Christ

The human character of the church and diversity within the church. In the ecumenical symbols of catholic Christianity the church is described as one, holy, catholic and apostolic. These notions correlate with the manner in which the one and only God interacts with humankind, as reported in Scripture. Holiness does not presuppose that the church consists of people who assume themselves to be in a timeless and spaceless heavenly kingdom, but that it consists of human beings, in a right relationship with God, who existentially live the values of God's kingdom. Catholicity presupposes the diversity of the church with regard to humankind, time, locality and culture. The catholic church, however, finds its identity not in plurality, but in its unity which transcends all diversity. This unity is the work of God's Spirit, encompassing the multiple witnesses of the prociaimers of the Jesus-event by empowering people in various ways at different times and places and letting them confess multifariously that Jesus Christ is Lord.
