Abstract

This essay explores a new way of thinking about the theology and spirituality of the Sacred Heart devotion. The essay begins by identifying the danger of global ecological collapse as a crisis that requires us to rethink traditional theologies. After reviewing the history of the Sacred Heart devotion and how it became associated with the theology of reparation, the essay proposes a renewed Christology that discovers the Heart of Jesus truly at the heart of the world—including at the heart of the Earth’s physicality and its ecological systems. In this view, the damage humans are inflicting on the whole community of Earth creatures literally pierces the Heart of Jesus. Our embrace of his Heart at the heart of the world will awaken us to a spirituality of reparation as compassionate accompaniment of the suffering Earth and its creatures.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be understood from an epistemological standpoint, specifically in relation to the concept of legal personhood. It has evolved into a stronger version with broader capabilities, surpassing its predecessors, particularly Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI). This rapid advancement has significant consequences, not to mention its increasing problem-solving ability–an essential characteristic of intelligence. To determine its legal status, AI must meet specific criteria. Generative AI, such as large language models (LLMs), serves as a warning sign, as Yuval Noah Harari argues, radically altering how humans cooperate. Harari maintains that social constructs have historically relied on human-to-document intersubjective interaction, mediated by bureaucracies. The latest developments, however, shift this relationship toward document-to-document interaction, transforming the nature of information. Instead of being merely a collection of data (‘inform-ation’), information now serves as the fundamental backbone of social institutions (‘in-formation’). From a periscopic perspective, as discussed by the authors, the discrepancy between the real and the metaversal expands AI’s role in everyday human activities. The authors propose a special legal personhood status for AI, considering its emerging analytic a priori capabilities. However, while AI remains in the later stages of its development, this possibility introduces mitigated risks that require further analyses.

Abstract

This study aims to offer an alternative perspective on evangelical poverty among Catholic priests amidst worldly luxury. While priests are encouraged to live in poverty as a spiritual virtue, some have been drawn into the allure of material wealth and comfort. Insights are drawn from the Book of Haggai and Pastores Dabo Vobis (PDV). Haggai emphasizes God as the Omnipotent Sovereign, calling humanity to surrender fully to His will. PDV, depicting God as the Supreme Good and the True and Definitive Treasure, guides priests in living evangelical poverty by responsibly using material goods and trusting in God’s provision. The correlation between Haggai and PDV underscores evangelical poverty as a surrender to God as the Abundance, freeing priests from attachment to material goods, making space for God’s unexpected and transformative grace. This grace leads to a life of self-giving, generosity, and a commitment to rebuilding the lives of those they serve. Reflections from these sources highlight three practical applications: approaching their mission with trust in God’s providence, managing Church resources with integrity and accountability, and offering a prophetic witness of simplicity amidst a consumerist culture.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the origins of the personal prayers of the priest (apologiae sacerdotis) in the book of the Order of Mass (Ordo Missae) and how they have evolved to the present day. This study highlights two key aspects: first, the apologiae sacerdotis, and second, the Ordo Missae. The apologiae sacerdotis refers to certain prayers in the Mass that are recited only by the celebrant (priest or bishop), either silently or in a low voice. The Ordo Missae is a small section of the liturgical texts of the Roman Catholic Church found in the Missale Romanum. It contains the structure of the celebration, prayers, and rubrics used to celebrate Mass. This article analyzes the texts of the apologiae sacerdotis in several Ordines Missae that have developed from the 9th century to the present day. The research method employed is a literature study focusing on historical and comparative analysis. This study demonstrates that the apologiae sacerdotis influenced the formation of the structure of the Ordo Missae and that the current Ordo Missae is not purely Roman but rather a mixture of Roman rites and French-German adaptations. The inclusion of the apologiae sacerdotis in the Ordo Missae shows that the formulation and composition of liturgical books cannot be separated from cultural influences and the needs of the times.

Abstract

This paper aims to provide an overview of religious tolerance as it relates directly or indirectly to Christianity before the Enlightenment. Religious tolerance in the context of pre-Enlightenment Christianity was complex and diverse, depending on the situation, time periodization, location or place, and socio-political context of the society. In Ancient Greece, political tolerance or intolerance of religion during the Hellenistic period rested on community and legal grounds, not on behavior. Whereas in ancient Rome the Hellenistic political tolerance of other religions and cults was adopted by the Romans, but by also adding some criteria centered on the civil, religious, and theological obedience of foreign gods and foreigners to the Dea Romana, the Senate, and the People of Rome. In the 4th century era of Constantine the Great, religious tolerance was realized with the issuance of the Edict of Milan, in 313, which proclaimed religious freedom in the Roman Empire. While in the 5th century era of Augustine of Hippo, religious tolerance was a careful judgment, driven by caritas. In the Middle Ages, religious tolerance took on a new form as interfaith dialogue, which was realised by including representatives of other religions in theological discourse.
