Teología pastoral Inter Loci : una disciplina teológica ante el aporte de las experiencias creyentes en escenarios sociales contemporáneos

Resumen: El texto realiza una relectura del método Ver-Juzgar-Actuar teniendo en cuenta el acercamiento biográfico que ofrecen las ciencias sociales. Propone considerar que la Teología Pastoral desarrolla así un discurso sobre la Iglesia, la Academia y la Plaza Pública en el cruce que estos ámbitos tienen en las mismas prácticas cristianas, dando lugar a una Teología Inter Loci. Y describe el perfil teológico emergente en dicha experiencia utilizando el marco de las inteligencias múltiples.

Fe, cristianismo y humildad: núcleos teologales de la pastoral popular del padre Rafael Tello

Resumen: Sin pretender “espiritualizar” la teología del padre Rafael Tello, este artículo ofrece algunas de las vertientes en las que abreva la espiritualidad de la pastoral popular de la que el teólogo argentino es uno de sus más originales representantes. Indagaremos en ciertos núcleos teologales y teológicos que nos permitirán registrar una continuidad entre teología y vida, al tiempo que nos dejarán en el umbral de una propuesta evangelizadora que no es posible comprender sin esta manera de vivir la fe cristiana. De la mano de figuras tradicionales de la mística y de la teología como san Juan de la Cruz y santo Tomás de Aquino, el padre Tello nos propone recrear la vivencia del evangelio para los tiempos actuales.

Herejías, espiritualidad, pastoral : ayer y hoy

Resumen: El autor del artículo propone un recorrido a través de las herejías que se presentaron en los primeros años de vida de la Iglesia con sus variantes y modalidades, y del testimonio de los Santos Padres. Su propósito es ofrecer un instrumento para la revisión de distintas actitudes actuales en el ámbito de la fe, la cristología y la eclesiología y plantear el desafío metodológico que proponen a la hora de elaborar respuestas. Presenta, en este sentido, las primeras herejías cristológicas y analiza los significados e implicancias en la perspectiva eclesiológica del docetismo, el gnosticismo, la tendencia monofisista y la herejía de Apolinar difundida en los siglos IV-V y el nestorianismo, y traza relaciones con el contexto cultural actual. Especial importancia concede al gnosticismo, tentación siempre presente de la existencia cristiana. Dentro de las herejías eclesiológicas, desarrolla el significado y las actitudes del movimiento donatista. En torno a las herejías de la gracia, desarrolla los contenidos de la doctrina pelagiana y de la propuesta semipelagiana como tendencia más espiritual y pastoral. Se destaca el valor de la Tradición que nos incorpora en la historia viva de la Iglesia.

Charles I : unhero of royalist poetry

During the English Civil War, Charles I appeared as a character in Royalist poetry, both directly and allegorically. These depictions drew on ancient Roman epic poems, particularly Lucan’s De Bello Civili, in their treatment of the subject matter of civil war and Charles as an epic hero. Though the authors of these poems supported Charles, their depictions of him and his reign reveal anxiety about his weakness as a ruler. In comparison to the cults of personality surrounding his predecessors and the heroes of De Bello Civili, his cult appears bland and forced. The lack of enthusiasm surrounding Charles I may help to explain his downfall at the hands of his Parliamentarian opponents.  

A Igreja no Brasil e o zelo pastoral de D. José Joaquim Justiniano Mascarenhas Castelo Branco: breve olhar sobre a implementação do catolicismo colonial e seus reflexos no sétimo episcopado carioca do século XVIII

A presente pesquisa aborda a formação da identidade da religião católica no Brasil colonial e seus reflexos nos desregramentos recorrentes na segunda metade do século XVIII, na diocese de São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro durante o episcopado de D. José Joaquim Justiniano Mascarenhas Castelo Branco (1773 1805) tendo sido este o primeiro bispo a assumir o comando de sua diocese natal. O tema proposto aborda diretamente a complexa relação entre os poderes temporal, representado pelo Estado português personificado na figura da realeza , e o espiritual, pertencente à Igreja sua representatividade máxima no local varia de acordo com a posição ocupada pelos clérigos, respeitando-se, assim, a hierarquia eclesiástica (monges, freiras, padres, bispos etc.). Apesar da obrigatoriedade do catolicismo na colônia, a coroa metropolitana não foi capaz de dar o suporte necessário para o estabelecimento de uma religiosidade fiel às determinações do Concilio de Trento, conforme determinava o direito de Padroado. Isso levou à formação de um catolicismo colonial por vezes aparente. A miscigenação étnico-cultural deu brecha para o surgimento de praticas sincréticas e diferentes comportamentos sociais reprovados pela Igreja. O desvio de conduta era um problema que afetava, não só os fiéis, mas também o clero, sendo este composto na época por sacerdotes mal formados e alguns estrangeiros de índoles duvidosas. Assim, os bispos do Brasil do século XVIII tiveram que lidar com problemas que eram, na verdade, reflexo da realidade da estrutura colonizadora local onde, apesar de ter sido a Igreja uma importante aliada do Estado lusitano, e vice-versa, havia também grande rivalidade entre ambos. Dessa forma, ocorriam na época constantes embates entre as autoridades civil e religiosa, as quaisuniam-se e desuniam-se de acordo com seus interesses.

Reflective writing: The student nurse's perspective on reflective writing and poetry writing.

Summary Background Reflective writing is a mandatory part of nurse education but how students develop their skills and use reflection as part of their experiential learning remains relatively unknown. Understanding reflective writing in all forms from the perspective of a student nurse is therefore important. Objectives To explore the use of reflective writing and the use of poetry in pre-registered nursing students. Design A qualitative design was employed to explore reflective writing in pre-registered nursing students. Setting A small university in Scotland. Participants BSc (Hons) Adult and Mental Health Pre-registration Student Nurses. Methods Two focus groups were conducted with 10 student nurses during March 2012. Data was analysed thematically using the framework of McCarthy (1999). Results Students found the process of reflective writing daunting but valued it over time. Current educational methods, such as assessing reflective accounts, often lead to the ‘narrative’ being watered down and the student feeling judged. Despite this, reflection made students feel responsible for their own learning and research on the topic. Some students felt the use of models of reflection constricting, whilst poetry freed up their expression allowing them to demonstrate the compassion for their patient under their care. Conclusions Poetry writing gives students the opportunity for freedom of expression, personal satisfaction and a closer connection with their patients, which the more formal approach to reflective writing did not offer. There is a need for students to have a safe and supportive forum in which to express and have their experiences acknowledged without the fear of being judged.
