Book excerpt: Wherever the standard of the Cross has been carried, there divine Providence has chosen heroic souls to imitate the sacrifices and charity of the Crucified. For centuries these elect of God were banded together in Institutes called Orders which demanded of their members the profession of Solemn vows and generally also the observance of the Cloister. With the changed conditions of society it frequently became very difficult, and in some countries even impossible, to adhere to this ancient and approved mode of Religious life and still render to society that multifarious service which Christian charity inspires. Hence divine Providence. As the Holy Father tells us, came to the rescue by providing Institutes which were adapted to our times and necessities. For a long time, however, the Church was extremely' reluctant to recognize officially some of the new Institutes that had sprung up in the various parts of the Christian world. She ever appreciated the good they performed and repeatedly confirmed their rule of life as well adapted to the purpose of their Institutes. But it was only after years of probation that She gradually placed Her official approval on single Communities and their mode of living. Especially was this Her attitude towards Institutes of women. But it remained for the celebrated Pontiff, Leo XIII. By his decree "Conditae a Christo." to give the Congregations a pennanent and specific standing in the Common law of the Church. A consistent policy of reforming and generalizing the laws for Religious Congregations was carried on throughout his entire pontificate. These regulations and generalizations. however, extended chiefly to the external relations of Congregations. Some important modifications and new laws were made for the internal regime, but even these have frequently a more or less dose connection with external conditions. Many valuable works have been written in the Latin, German, French. and Italian languages on Religious Congregations. Frequently their authors wrote before a definite and common status had been assigned to Religious Institutes. Then. too, large parts of their works are often devoted to the "Normae" drafted and used by the Holy See in approving new Institutes. But the Holy See has never imposed these "Normae" on an Congregations as laws. Still it must be said that no better foundation could be laid for their writings, for they express the mind of the Holy See. Finally, the new discipline demands a reconstruction of many of the works on Religious Congregations. These different circumstances and the fact that Religious Societics occupy such an important place in Religious Iife and ecclesiastical legislation, have led us to believe that Religious Congregations afforded a valuable subject for a canonical study. The present study, however, excludes particular and internal regulations and privileges. It aims solely at investigating the legislation of the Church in regard to the external relations of Religious Congregations in general. For this purpose it has seemed necessary to review the origin and development of Religious Congregations. to give the laws governing a new foundation and its approval. the conditions requisite for entrance, the regulations regarding dismissal. and the external government, With this brief foreword we introduce the reader to the following eight chapters of "Religious Congregations in Their External Relations,"' hoping some day to perfect and supply what is wanting in them. We deplore the fact that European conditions prevented us from investigating some valuable works having direct bearing on our subject. Some Canonists have written commentaries on many of the new decrees used in this treatise. But at present it is very difficult and in some cases impossible, as we experienced. to obtain them. No doubt these experienced minds throw considerable light on many points of the new regulations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion and Global Politics: Soft Power in Nigeria and Beyond examines the deployment of religious soft power in African states and the potential it has for transforming perceptions of the continent. The contributors refocus the attention on religion away from the ‘misery’ discourse of conflict and violence towards the domain of international relations, diplomacy and foreign policy in Africa. Through this shift, the contributors analyze the ways in which religion has impacted the external relations of African states. Religion and Global Politics introduces the theme of religion to the discourse of African international relations and politics to provide a thorough examination of religion’s influence on politics in the daily lives of African people.
Download or read book Politics in a Religious World written by Eric Patterson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politics in a Religious World examines why US diplomacy often misunderstands, if not ignores, the role of religion in international conflicts. After the Cold War, it became evident that religion was a key factor in many conflicts, including Bosnia, Rwanda, and Afghanistan. However, the US failed to correctly appreciate this role, for example predicting the failure of the Iranian theocrats in 1979. Today, most of the security and foreign relations challenges faced by the US are infused with religious factors, from its relations with Iran to the Iraq war and jihadist terrorists. Religion, however, can also play a transnational role when it comes to human rights, conflict resolution, and political mobilization. Written by an expert in the field, the book analyzes why the US deliberately avoids the religious dimension of international affairs and proposes a comprehensive approach to a religiously literate US foreign policy. Politics in a Religious World addresses a needed area and will appeal to anyone studying US foreign policy as well as the interaction of religion and international affairs.

Download or read book Religion as Empowerment written by Kyriaki Topidi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume shows how and why legal empowerment is important for those exercising their religious rights under various jurisdictions, in conditions of legal pluralism. At the same time, it also questions the thesis that as societies become more modern, they also become less religious. The authors look beyond the rule of law orthodoxy in their consideration of the freedom of religion as a human right and place this discussion in a more plurality-sensitive context. The book sheds more light on the informal and/or customary mechanisms that explain the limited impact of law on individuals and groups, especially in non-Western societies. The focus is on discussing how religion and the exercise of religious rights may or may not empower individuals and social groups and improve access to human rights in general. This book is important reading for academics and practitioners of law and religion, religious rights, religious diversity and cultural difference, as well as NGOs, policy makers, lawyers and advocates at multicultural jurisdictions. It offers a contemporary take on comparative legal studies, with a distinct focus on religion as an identity marker.
Download or read book Religion and Foreign Affairs written by Dennis Hoover and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of religion in foreign policy debates, while never absent, has often been sidelined by popular prejudices and secular demands. The religious resurgence in America and the threat of extremist terrorism abroad have paved the way for a renewed recognition of the necessity of careful and candid dialogue about religion's place in international affairs. In recent years, scholars, practitioners, and policymakers have consistently reflected upon the role of religion in foreign policy, resulting in a vast, rich array of resources important for moving forward in an increasingly pluralistic world. Dennis Hoover and Douglas Johnston here present the writings of leading scholars, revealing distinctive approaches to religion and global politics. Religion and Foreign Affairs offers readers a broad selection of essays, ranging across cultures and worldviews. From the ethics of force and peacemaking to globalization and American foreign policy, this compendium provides a solid introduction to the field of religion and foreign affairs that will stimulate discussion and encourage intelligent practice.

This collection offers a compelling overview of the Orthodox world, covering the main regional traditions of Orthodox Christianity and the ways in which they have become global. The contributors are drawn from the Orthodox community worldwide and explore a rich selection of key figures and themes. The book provides an innovative and illuminating approach to the subject, ideal for students and scholars alike.
