Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Orden de San Juan de Jerusalén es, sin duda, una de las instituciones más antiguas e importantes de la Iglesia católica, pero además lo es, de forma indiscutible, de la cultura y la civilización de Occidente. Su influencia ha sido importante en la historia de Europa durante siglos, y en la actualidad es el vínculo más importante de nuestra cultura con las Cruzadas. Fundada en Palestina para servir a «nuestros señores los enfermos», por hombres que habían hecho votos de pobreza, castidad y obediencia, pronto se convirtió en una orden monástica dedicada además a la guerra contra los enemigos «de la Cruz». Junto a sus rivales templarios, y a los caballeros teutónicos, constituyó una de las grandes hermandades de monjes guerreros nacidas en Tierra Santa. Sus freires combatieron contra el islam en aquellas regiones durante doscientos años, y cuando cayeron sus últimas posiciones, mantuvieron la lucha en Rodas y Malta durante siglos. Una barrera infranqueable ante los turcos y los corsarios de Berbería que resistió hasta bien entrado el siglo XVII. Con una trayectoria histórica tan amplia, la Orden ha sufrido diversos avatares fruto de su agitado y apasionante devenir en el tiempo. Reconocida en la actualidad como sujeto de Derecho internacional, es en la práctica un Estado sin territorio, pero fiel a los principios de su creador, sigue presente en más de 120 países con sus propias actividades médicas, sociales, asistenciales y políticas; mantiene relaciones diplomáticas con 104 Estados, y está representada ante decenas de organismos internacionales.

Download or read book Central America written by Ralph Woodward and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1988-09-07 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays that analyzes the historical antecedents of the current political crises in Central America. The essays provide a balanced interpretation of such themes as international power politics in Central America since the 19th century and the effects of cultural diversity and local interests in preventing the development of enduring political unity and economic integration. Latin Americanists and those interested in international politics at the upper-division undergraduate level and above will value this informative analysis of the volatile region. Choice This volume contributes to a deeper understanding of the crisis in Central America through an examination of several aspects of the region's historical development. Written by historians, anthropologists, political scientists, and a literary scholar, the essays highlight several themes central to understanding the problems faced in the region today. One is the continual role of major outside forces on development. Nearly all of the essays reflect this presence and suggest a number of distinct effects. A second common theme is the importance of native culture to the region, even though there is considerable diversity among the cultural patterns of the Central American states. Several of the essays reflect the strong class conflicts that developed between entrenched elites dating from the colonial period and the emerging middle and working classes that have begun to find organization and articulation in the twentieth century. Although most of the essays focus on individual states, collectively they reflect one of the strongest themes of Central American history and one of the most important sources of the present conflicts: the failure of the region to reunify into a strong unit following the disruption of the Central American Federation in 1840. These twelve articles suggest the complexity of Central America's historical development and that the present crises are much more than sinmple confrontations between capitalist and communist regimes. Together, they deepen our understanding of those complexities and the powerful strains modernization has placed on traditional Central American life. Because of the diverse backgrounds of the contributors and the importance of Central America to U.S. foreign policy, scholars, students, and the general public alike will find this volume valuable reading.

Book excerpt: El Bailío Gran Prior Fray Gian Galeazzo Ruspoli, percibe la visión de un Ángel que le comunica que la Orden de San Juan a la que pertenece necesita de sus servicios como monje guerrero e investigador en el futuro. Sorprendido ante esta petición, no puede evitar que la curiosidad se adueñe de él. El Ángel le cuenta entonces la historia de la Orden de Malta y sus cinco siglos de lucha encarnizada contra el Islam. La Orden había olvidado por completo su faceta militar y se había centrado desde entonces en sus obras hospitalarias, religiosas y culturales. Se encuentra inerme en una complicada trama que podría acabar con la vida de algunos de sus ilustres caballeros profesos investigadores de la historia de Jesús y minar hasta la misma Iglesia. Gian Galeazzo acepta el reto y se ve al instante proyectado hacia el año 2.000, ocho siglos después de la época en la le tocó vivir. Este es el marco donde se desarrollará la labor de Fray Gian Galeazzo quien deberá aportar todas sus virtudes y habilidades para evitar un desenlace trágico. ¿Logrará llevar a cabo su misión celestial? ¿Cambiará la investigación la historia de la Iglesia Católica? La saga de El Profeso está compuesta de momento por: El Profeso, Asesinato en el Letrán, Muerte de Profesos, El Profeso en Tíbet y, en preparación: El Profeso y el diablo. El protagonista Gian Galeazzo está inspirado en la extraordinaria figura de Galeazzo Marescotti, héroe de Bolonia y absolutamente retratada en otra de sus novelas históricas, titulada: El Confaloniero.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los avances conseguidos en el Concilio Vaticano II parecen ser definitivamente aparcados, sobre todo, desde la llegada al papado del cardenal Ratzinger e iniciada por el Papa Juan Pablo II. La reciente elección de un nuevo pontífice, de nacionalidad argentina, el Papa Francisco, está por ver por dónde se inclinará. En el presente texto se aborda el tema de la relación de la Iglesia y el Carlismo en la España contemporánea. El Carlismo nunca se sintió favorecido por la Iglesia, institución que ha cruzado el Rubicón desde la época de Juan XXIII, en la que se afirmó el pluralismo político y se negó el apoyo al proyecto democristiano de Joaquín Ruíz Giménez. Todo ello ha hecho crecer lo que ya se creía enterrado: el anticlericalismo. Un ejemplo de la respuesta carlista fue la advertencia de Don Javier al cardenal Tarancón, presidente entonces de la Conferencia Episcopal Española. En el texto se relatan desde los enormes privilegios que goza la Iglesia actual hasta su enfrentamiento a todo planteamiento que significara un avance o renovación ideológica de la sociedad española. Posiblemente este trabajo escandalizará a algunos y, sin embargo, a otros les parecerá que nos hemos quedado cortos. El asunto tiene su lógica, ya que lo contrario sería creer que la actual sociedad española pasa de todo. Pero está demostrado que no es así.

Download or read book Structures of Reform The Mercedarian Order in the Spanish Golden Age written by Bruce Taylor and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries the Mercedarian Order of friars, founded in the 1220s, underwent a period of reform from which it emerged utterly transformed. This study sets out to examine not only the context of that reform - the policies of the crown and the papacy, the condition of Catalonia and Spain at large, the circumstances prevailing within the Order and the dialogue with its past - but also to grasp the essence of monastic reform itself against this diverse background. The imposition of other than purely religious criteria onto the reform agenda alerts us to the deeper implications of monastic change in Early Modern Europe. For the Mercedarians the result by 1650 was a wholly new Order; the evolution of this process, by turns calculated and unexpected, is here explored.

Download or read book Evangelization and Cultural Conflict in Colonial Mexico written by Robert H. Jackson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-02 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a study published in the mid-twentieth century, French historian Robert Ricard postulated that the evangelization and conversion of the native populations of Mexico had been rapid and relatively easy. However, different forms of evidence show that the so-called “spiritual conquest” was anything but easy or rapid, and, in fact, natives continued to practice their traditional beliefs alongside Catholicism. Within several decades of initiating the so-called “spiritual conquest,” the campaign to evangelize and convert the native populations, the missionaries faced growing evidence of idolatry or the persistence of traditional religious practices and apostasy, straying from Church teachings. The evidence includes written documents such as inquisition investigations that resulted, for example, in the execution of don Carlos, the native ruler of Tezcoco, on December 1, 1539, or that uncovered evidence of systematic organized resistance to Dominican missionaries in the Sierra Mixteca of Oaxaca. Other forms of evidence include pre-Hispanic religious iconography incorporated into what ostensibly were Christian murals, and pre-Hispanic stones embedded in the churches and convents the missionaries had built. One example of this was the stone with the face of Tláloc at the rear of the Franciscan church Santiago Tlatelolco in Distrito Federal. During the course of some three centuries, missionaries from different Catholic religious orders attempted to convert the native populations of colonial Mexico, with mixed results. Native groups throughout colonial Mexico resisted the imposition of the new religion in overt and covert forms, and incorporated Catholicism into their worldview on their own terms. Native cultural and religious traditions were more flexible than the Iberian Catholic norms introduced by the missionaries. The so-called “spiritual conquest,” a term coined by Ricard, evolved as a cultural war set against the backdrop of the imposition of a foreign colonial regime. The 11 essays in this volume examine the efforts to evangelize the native populations of Mexico, the approaches taken by the missionaries, and native responses. The contributions investigate the interplay between natives and missionaries in central Mexico, and on the southern and northern frontiers of New Spain, and among sedentary and non-sedentary natives. In the end, many natives found little in the new faith to attract them, and resisted the imposition of new religious norms and way of life.
Download or read book Priest Under Fire written by Peter M. Sánchez and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Rodriguez, or Padre David as he is known throughout El Salvador, is a diocesan priest who followed the Second Vatican Council's doctrinal mandate to advocate for the poor and oppressed. Along with other progressive clergy committed to liberation theology, Padre David helped drive forward the country’s popular movement. In the 1970s, Padre David joined the largest guerilla organization in El Salvador, the FPL (Popular Liberation Forces). At first, he supported the FPL clandestinely, helping to organize Christian Base Communities, autonomous religious groups dedicated to spreading liberationist ideas and to giving the Salvadoran poor a clear understanding of why their lives were so difficult. By the end of the twelve-year civil war, he was head of the FPL's finance committee. He traveled to the United States, Europe, and across Latin America raising funds for the movement and its resulting political party, the FMLN (Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front). In Priest Under Fire, Peter Sánchez tells the story of how one priest joined a movement to help his people and his country. He provides much-needed insight into both the Salvadoran civil war and the Catholic Church-influenced grassroots political movements, showing that they continue to inform Latin America today.
