Conversos, vescovi e inquisitori tra Spagna e Sicilia (secc. XV-XVII)
2022
La vasta geografia della Monarchia spagnola degli Asburgo è ormai da tempo considerata uno spazio storiografico di grande interesse, all’interno del quale si incrociano fenomeni tanto di integrazione o esclusione di gruppi sociali e religiosi, come nel caso dei conversos, quanto di circolazione di prelati impegnati nel controllo delle istituzioni ecclesiastiche, come vescovi e inquisitori. La Sicilia fu parte integrante di questo “scambio” di gruppi e individui, che con il sostegno delle rispettive reti familiari e clientelari contribuirono alla costruzione del composito e policentrico impero spagnolo. The wide geography of the Spanish Monarchy under Habsburgs’ rule has long been considered…
Nilde Iotti e i cristiani di sinistra: confronti di idee, momenti di storia
2021
The political commitment of Nilde Iotti, president of the Chamber of Deputies for three legislatures, provides an opportunity to compare the political ideas of Catholics and Communists during the Resistance and in the first decades of the Italian Republic. This comparison highlights that freedom and work are the fundamental elements of Italian democracy in the second half of the twentieth century.
Theological and doctrinal texts in the Old Frisian Thet Autentica Riocht
2015
The Frisian literary corpus is composed mostly by legal texts. However, interspersed in the law manuscripts, various texts of different nature are occasionally attested, several of which are of religious content. Among them, worthy of consideration are a number of short pieces devoted to theological and biblical topics, such as those contained in the so-called Thet autentica Riocht (fifteenth century): the Seven Virtues of the Mass, the Seven Things that God hates, the Ten Signs in the Host, the Three Unforgivable Sins, as well as a piece devoted to the benefits of confession. These texts share features with the Five Keys to Wisdom, a brief didactic treatise preserved in the First and Secon…
«Tiene per altro il cappellano nella sua galera sempre dinanzi un campo grande di messe». L’assistenza religiosa nell’Ordine di Malta in un’istruzion…
2018
The article analyses unpublished instructions written by a vice-prior of the Order of St. John in the late seventeenth century. They were directed at the conventual chaplains providing religious support to knights, soldiers and crew (including slave rowers) during the naval campaigns of the Order galleys, the so-called “caravane”. On one hand the work was inspired by literature on the “Christian soldier” (whose authors were often Jesuits), on the other it brought together the spiritual care issues directly experienced by the same chaplains on board. What emerged is their lack of preparation in fully accomplishing their pastoral duties in the cramped and mixed space of the galley, where the …
Kościół dla wybranych? O specyfice indyjskich chrześcijan knānāya
2015
Nazwą knānāya (także „południowcy”) określa się jedno z ramion indyjskiego chrześcijaństwa, którego członkowie doszukują się swojej genezy w starożytnej emigracji perskich chrześcijan, przybyłych do Indii pod przewodnictwem kupca Tomasza z Kany. Charakterystyczną cechą tej grupy jest silne przywiązanie do tradycji i bezwarunkowa ochrona tożsamości łączącej współczesnych „południowców” z ich przodkami. Sam fakt głębokiego przywiązania do tradycji i w konsekwencji jej silna ochrona nie powinien dziwić, wszak jest to jedno z podstawowych praw każdej wspólnoty i każdego człowieka. Jednakże knanaici, chcąc zachować „czystość krwi”, zupełnie nie dopuszczają do siebie niczego i nikogo z zewnątrz. …
Byzantine Liturgical Hymnography: a Stumbling Stone for the Jewish-Orthodox Christian Dialogue?
2019
Abstract This article discusses the role of Byzantine liturgical hymnography within the Jewish-Orthodox Christian dialogue. It seems that problematic anti-Jewish hymns of the Orthodox liturgy were often put forward by the Jewish side, but Orthodox theologians couldn’t offer a satisfactory answer, so that the dialogue itself profoundly suffered. The author of this study argues that liturgical hymnography cannot be a stumbling stone for the dialogue. Bringing new witnesses from several Orthodox theologians, the author underlines the need for a change of perspective. Then, beyond the intrinsic plea for the revision of the anti-Jewish texts, this article actually emphasizes the need to rediscov…
