Entre as inúmeras aberturas para o “novo” do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo no mundo de hoje que o Concílio Vaticano II trouxe está, sem dúvida, a abertura de um espaço mais visível para a mulher. O presente artigo procura demonstrar como os textos do Concílio já mencionam explicitamente esta novidade. A seguir, mostra a trajetória que a mulher fez nos tempos pós-conciliares. Alguns documentos do Papa Paulo VI e do Papa João Paulo II reconhecem e valorizam esse caminho. Concluindo, apresenta a situação da mulher no hoje da Igreja e da sociedade.Abstract: There is no doubt that the acceptance of a more visible place for women is one of the main ‘novelties’ of the Gospel of Jesus Christ brought to light by the Council Vatican II. The present article attempts to show how the Council’s texts already mentioned this novelty explicitly. Subsequently the paper gives an overview of women’s trajectory in the postCouncil period. Some documents written by Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II obviously recognize and encourage this new stance. To conclude, the paper looks at the situation of women today, in the Church and in society as a whole.

Currently, 92 years have passed since the announcement of St. Teresa of the Child Jesus, patron of the mission. There are still questions about the legitimacy of this act made by Pope Pius XI. However, this article focuses primarily on the timeliness of this patronage, and not on the act itself and its legitimacy. First, it presents the missionary life of the Saint of Lisieux, which is a de facto missionary feature of her spirituality, and then the “missionary thought” of Saint. Teresa of the Infant Jesus is juxtaposed with the teaching of the Church, represented by Vatican II and Redemptoris Missio John Paul II.

Pope John Paul II explored the African continent this May with all the stamina, exuberance, and gusto of the nineteenth-century missionary-explorers Stanley and Livingston. He had to call on his talents as linguist, diplomat, humanist, and intellectual to deal with the complex problems he faced —and continues to face. For examples: How should Rome react to the continuing Africanization of the evangelization of the Church? What is the position of Christianity vis-à-vis the proliferation of Marxist/socialist experiments in Africa? Can Christianity coexist peacefully with Islam in a continent where the latter is growing at a rate of 3 1/2 million adherents per year?

Pope John Paul II understood the mission of the Church to be a participation in the priestly, prophetic, and royal mission of Christ. This essay follows the development of this understanding from his time as Archbishop of Cracow though to Evangelium vitae. It examines, in particular, evangelization and its relationship to the threefold mission. It traces its development through his integration of the teaching of Lumen gentium on the threefold office of Christians and the teaching on evangelization in Evangelii nuntiandi. Noting that the Lineamenta of the Synod on New Evangelization makes little reference to the threefold office, it, finally, offers some ideas as to how we might develop our understanding of the threefold mission and apply it to ‘new evangelization.’

RESUMO: O artigo apresenta traços do ensinamento de Bento XVI sobre a solicitude ecumênica e uma nota sobre sua renovação e avanço pelo papa Francisco na sua programática exortação Evangelii Gaudium. Depois de se reportar ao compromisso ecumênico do Concílio Vaticano II, considerado irreversível por João Paulo II, e de observar algumas dificuldades, como sobre a Declaração Dominus Iesus, examinam-se entrevistas, discursos e encíclicas de Joseph Ratzinger/Bento XVI, especialmente em relação com uma afirmação da constituição Gaudium et Spes do Concílio Vaticano II, sobre respeito e amor. No final, acrescenta-se uma anotação breve, mas importante, sobre a renovação e o avanço na Evangelii Gaudium do Papa Francisco. Destacam-se o ensinamento de respeito e o amor como fundamentais para o ecumenismo e o diálogo inter-religioso e valorizam-se: a oração e a espiritualidade; o testemunho da fé preservando a harmonia nas diversidades; a gratuidade e a reciprocidade; o diálogo; a promoção do bem e da paz. Finalmente, a abertura, a Igreja em saída, ao encontro dos outros, como é acentuado na Evangelii Gaudium.ABSTRACT: The article presents traces of the teachings of Benedict XVI on the ecumenical concern and a note on its renewal and advancement by Pope Francis in his programmatic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium. After reporting back to the ecumenical commitment of Vatican Council II, considered irreversible by John Paul II, and to observe certain difficulties, such as on the Declaration Dominus Iesus, it examines interviews, speeches and encyclicals of Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, especially in relation with an affirmation of the Constitution Gaudium et Spes of Vatican II, about respect and love. In the end, it adds a brief but important annotation on the renewal and the advancement of Evangelii Gaudium by Pope Francis. Here is highlighted the teaching of respect and love as fundamental for ecumenism and inter-religious dialog and value: prayer and spirituality; the testimony of faith while preserving the harmony of diversity; generosity and reciprocity; dialog; the promotion of goodness and peace. Finally, openness, the Church ready to go out, to meet others, as is emphasized in Evangelii Gaudium.

Num momento em que o Ensino Religioso Brasileiro vem construindo uma epistemologia própria, vários posicionamentos têm se manifestado por parte, sobretudo, de segmentos do episcopado católico com relação à construção de sua nova identidade. Tais manifestações têm suas raízes no próprio magistério da Igreja. Por isso, julgamos relevante uma volta aos ensinamentos do papa João Paulo II, pois foi ele quem mais insistiu em que os estados assegurassem, em nome da liberdade religiosa, o ensino religioso conforme a confissão de fé dos alunos e de seus familiares. O Acordo entre Brasil e Santa Sé é um claro indício desse esforço. Portanto, este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar descritivamente a visão do ensino religioso na perspectiva do papa João Paulo II.Abstract: At a time when Brazilian Religious Education is building itself an epistemology, several positions have been expressed in particular segments of the catholic bishops regarding the construction of their new identity. These manifestations have their roots in the teachings of the church itself. On that account, we deem relevant to return to the studies of Pope John Paul II, since he was the one who took a strong stand in favor of religious education according to the faith of the students and their families, on behalf of religious freedom. The agreement between Brazil and the Holy See is a clear indication of that effort. This article aims, therefore, to present a descriptive vision of religious education in the light of Pope John Paul II.

O antigo arcebispo de Diamantina, Dom Geraldo de Proença Sigaud (1909-1999), foi uma importante e controversa figura histórica da Igreja brasileira contemporânea. De fato, Sigaud teve um papel marcante nas polêmicas que permeavam a Igreja dos anos 1930 até 1980. Além do mais, o arcebispo foi um dos mais importantes agentes catalisadores da minoria no Concílio Vaticano II (1962- 1965), congregando em torno de si bispos de tendências conservadoras de todo o mundo a fim de bloquear os impulsos de reforma que vinham se estabelecendo desde o primeiro período conciliar. Dessa forma, a partir de um olhar histórico, o presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a atuação de D. Sigaud no Vaticano II, suas relações com a TFP (Associação para a Defesa da Tradição, Família e Propriedade) na ocasião do Concílio e demonstrar alguns momentos da atuação do Coetus Internationalis Patrum, grupo que funda com outros bispos a fim de organizar a minoria conciliar e influenciar as determinações finais do concílio.Abstract: The late Archbishop of Diamantina, Don Geraldo de Proença Sigaud (1909-1999) was an important and controversial historical figure in the contemporary Brazilian Church. Indeed, Sigaud played a remarkable role in the polemical issues that pervaded the Church from the 1930s until 1980. Moreover, the Archbishop was one of the most important catalytic agents of the minority in the Vatican II Council (1962-1965), congregating around himself bishops with conservative tendency from all over the world in order to block the reform impetuses that were establishing themselves from the earliest conciliar period. Thus, from a historical perspective, the present article aims at presenting D. Sigaud’s actions at the Vatican II, his relations with the TFP (Association for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property) at the time of the Council and to show some moments in the acting of the Coetus Internationalis Patrum, a group that Sigaud founded with other bishops in order to organize the Council’s minority and influence its final decisions.

O artigo tem como ponto de partida a questão da mudança de época em que a Igreja é chamada a realizar, hoje, sua vida e missão; aponta as dificuldades teológicas e canônicas geradas pela eclesiologia “inacabada” do Vaticano II; e, finalmente, sugere reformas que, coerentes com os horizontes eclesiológicos abertos pelo Concílio e com as interpelações que vêm dos “sinais dos tempos”, certamente ajudariam a Igreja, no século XXI, a ganhar credibilidade no testemunho de Cristo e de seu Reino, a serviço da vida e da esperança dos homens e das mulheres de todos os povos e culturas, sobretudo dos pobres e esquecidos. Escrito no final do ano de 2012, após o Congresso de São Leopoldo, passou por algumas atualizações, à altura da revisão final, em setembro de 2013, dado o novo contexto criado pelo pontificado do Papa Francisco. Abstract: The present article has as a starting point the fact that the Church is now asked to carry out its life and mission in a different era; it points to the theological and canonical difficulties generated by the “unfinished” ecclesiology of the Vatican II; and finally, it suggests some reforms that - consistent with the ecclesiological horizons opened by the Council and with the challenges that come from “the signs of the times” - would certainly help the Church in this 21st century to gain credibility in the testimony of Christ and of His Kingdom, at the service of the life and hope of the men and women from all peoples and cultures and in particular of those who are poor and forgotten. Written in the last months of 2012, after the Congress in São Leopoldo, Brazil, it went through some updating at the time of the final revision in September 2013, given the new context created by Pope Francis’ pontificate.Keywords: Catholic Church.

Resumo: O artigo se propõe a analisar a teologia do matrimônio e da família, desde assuas raízes bíblicas até os ensinamentos magisteriais nos documentos da Igreja. O casalque escreve o artigo, reconhece que o conhecimento dessa teologia é importante para oenfrentamento dos desafios conjugais e familiares. Mas considera que a maior dificuldadeé colocar em prática, na vida pessoal, conjugal e familiar, ao menos as bases principaisdessa teologia. Após destacar quatro pontos da teologia bíblica do matrimônio (a origemdo matrimônio, na criação, em Gênesis; a celebração festiva do encontro com Deus, nasnúpcias do Cordeiro, no Apocalipse; o embate do matrimônio com o pecado e o resgatede sua beleza original por Jesus Cristo; as descrições que embasam o sinal sacramentale a graça do matrimônio, em Jesus e em Paulo), os autores ressaltam aspectos importantesda catequese do papa João Paulo II, de corte bíblico-antropológico, centrada nateologia do corpo, do amor e do sacramento. Retomam textos da Gaudium et Spes e daHumanae Vitae, que consideram significativos para a atualização da doutrina conciliarem nossos tempos.Palavras-chave: Matrimônio e Família; Matrimônio no Vaticano II; Catequeses de JoãoPaulo II.Abstract: The paper intends to analyze the theology of Marriage and Family, from itsbiblical roots until the magisterial teachings in the documents of the Church. The couplewho write, they recognize that the knowledge of this theology is important in order to copewith the conjugal and familiar challenges.

First Words

Appearing on the balcony of St. Peter's, his first words as supreme pontiff were: “May Jesus Christ be praised!” At the close of the installation eucharist John Paul II lifted high the papal crozier, redesigned by Pope Paul as a staff surmounted by the crucified Christ. In all his utterances to date the new pope has emphasized Christ as the hope of the world but has also lifted up the mankind Christ came to save. He has illuminated the variousness of this mankind, from the individual in all his loneliness, even his alienation, to persons in collectivities of family, class, race, and nation. He has described many Christians too as people often filled with doubt about their ultimate meaning to themselves or for others, both on the level of social relations of all kinds and in the redemptive community of the Church. John Paul closed his installation homily: “I appeal to all men—to every man (and with what veneration the apostle of Christ must utter this word, ‘man’)—pray for me.“Some days later John Paul visited Santa Maria Sopra Minerva and declared that he dedicated his pontificate to the Dominican tertiary St. Catherine of Siena (d. 1380). This was one further gesture of his identification with the Italian people as their national primate, for St. Catherine and St. Francis of Assisi are the two patron saints of Italy. But he was also signaling his intention, in his choice of a lay woman, a reformer, a crusader, a mystic, and a doctor of the Church (so proclaimed in 1970), to assign high positions of decisionmaking to lay women and to female religious of all orders in recognition of the prominent role women have played in the past and of the much greater role, short of the priesthood, they would be playing under his pontificate.
