Abstract

La religion - on l'oublie souvent - structure la vie des hommes du Moyen Âge. Les dogmes qui régissent la foi chrétienne ont été essentiellement définis lors du concile de Nicée en 325. Certes des pratiques païennes ont subsisté, mais elles ont diminué au cours des siècles. Et l'Église a su en assimiler certaines en christianisant d'anciennes fêtes. L'auteur a choisi de suivre ce chrétien tout au long de sa vie, du baptême qui le lave du péché originel à la mort qui l'introduit dans l'au-delà, où il obtiendra récompense ou châtiment. Après son baptême, il reçoit une éducation religieuse, notamment auprès de sa mère, puis au fil des ans, satisfait à des pratiques collectives, par exemple l'assistance à la messe, ou individuelles, comme la réception des sacrements de l'eucharistie, de la pénitence, du mariage. Il doit respecter une morale en particulier dans les domaines de la sexualité, de l'argent ou du comportement : ne pas s'adonner à la violence. Si les dogmes, vérités à croire car elles sont révélées, ne changent pas, les pratiques ou certaines croyances peuvent connaître des transformations. Le baptême par immersion fait place au baptême par aspersion. Le purgatoire, esquissé par saint Augustin, naît véritablement au XIIe siècle. Les limbes apparaissent vers la même époque pour les enfants morts sans baptême, qui n'ont pas mérité des châtiments éternels. La naissance du purgatoire a entraîné une inflation des messes en faveur des défunts, car elles permettent de raccourcir le temps passé en ce lieu, d'où la floraison des indulgences. Moins libres que nous d'exprimer leurs doutes sur le plan religieux, plus sensibles aux pratiques et aux rites (reliques, miracles), les chrétiens du Moyen Age sont bien souvent écartelés entre les tentations de ce monde durant leur existence et la crainte du châtiment divin au moment de leur mort. Une synthèse limpide par un spécialiste incontesté.

Abstract

Through in-depth interviews, four prominent Church leaders refl ect on the mission of the Catholic priest in the modern world. They discuss how changes in the Church and the societies in which Catholics live present priests with both challenges and opportunities to be teachers, fathers, physicians, and shepherds in imitation of Jesus Christ. In order to better understand these four images, four priests—Archbishop Charles Chaput, Archbishop Luis Ladaria, Cardinal George Pell, and Msgr. Livio Melina— present their personal insights on the meaning and the future of the priestly vocation. Within the framework of an extended conversation with Father Carlos Granados, they offer vivid, straightforward testimonies of their own experiences while raising and answering the major questions about the priesthood today.

Abstract

" Una tesi molto fortunata negli studi sul monachesimo sostiene che il tratto rilevante di questo modo di vivere sia la varietà, talmente ricca da renderne impossibile una storia unitaria. Questo libro vuole dimostrare il contrario : la storia della vita monastica fra tarda antichità ed epoca carolingia è sostanzialmente uniforme. Il monaco vive sempre in ville tardoantiche trasformate in monasteri, è alle prese con la difficile pratica della moderazione ed è guidato dalla norma universale della divisione del lavoro. Il testo illustra la vita monastica, il suo spazio d'azione, la lingua d'uso, le regole e gli esercizi ma anche i rapporti con le gerarchie ecclesiastiche e col potere civile, dal momento che i monaci, al contrario degli asceti, con i quali vengono spesso confusi, non sono in fuga dal mondo."

Abstract

Wizards with magical powers to heal the sick, possess the bodies of their followers, and defend their tradition against outside threats are far from the typical picture of Buddhism. Yet belief in wizard-saints who protect their devotees and intervene in the world is widespread among Burmese Buddhists. The Buddha's Wizards is a historically informed ethnographic study that explores the supernatural landscape of Buddhism in Myanmar to explain the persistence of wizardry as a form of lived religion in the modern era.Thomas Nathan Patton explains the world of wizards, spells, and supernatural powers in terms of both the broader social, political, and religious context and the intimate roles that wizards play in people's everyday lives. He draws on affect theory, material and visual culture, long-term participant observation, and the testimonies of the devout to show how devotees perceive the protective power of wizard-saints. Patton considers beliefs and practices associated with wizards to be forms of defending Buddhist traditions from colonial and state power and culturally sanctioned responses to restrictive gender roles. The book also offers a new lens on the political struggles and social transformations that have taken place in Myanmar in recent years. Featuring close attention to the voices of individual wizard devotees and the wizards themselves, The Buddha's Wizards provides a striking new look at a little-known aspect of Buddhist belief that helps expand our ways of thinking about the daily experience of lived religious practices.
