Clergy

Não obstante o apreciável labor produzido pelas historiografias portuguesa e brasileira no que concerne à História Eclesiástica e Religiosa na Época Moderna, os comportamentos luxuriosos da sociedade e, particularmente, os do clero nem sempre foram estudados de forma profunda através de fontes históricas e usando o método comparativo. Talvez por isso se tenha verificado, até hoje, a latência de modelos concetuais antigos, de natureza sociológica e antropológica, no campo historiográfico da História, que tendem a ver na colónia brasileira certos traços específicos sem os testar pela via contrastiva. Um deles, talvez o maior, é o luso-tropicalismo, à luz do qual foram forjadas as seguintes ideias: o clima das terras quentes, como as do Brasil, instigava à luxúria; essa imoralidade, que ocorria entre os vários grupos étnicos que povoavam a colónia, era tolerada e/ou instrumentalizada como política colonial de incremento populacional, sendo esse um traço distintivo da colonização portuguesa. Por pressupor, na colónia, a inexistência, inoperância ou complacência dos mecanis-mos judiciais eclesiásticos de vigilância e disciplinamento, este quadro argumentativo será revisto à luz de fontes judiciais originais e de um enfoque comparativo incidente sobre a luxúria clerical nas duas margens do Atlântico Português. Abstract: Despite the considerable labor of the Portuguese and Brazilian historiog-raphies concerning the ecclesiastic and religious history in the early modern period, the lustful behaviors of society, and particularly those of the clergy, have not always been studied in depth through historical sources and using the comparative method. Perhaps that is why a latency of old conceptual models, of a sociological and an-thropological nature, in the historiographical field of history have persisted upt the present, which tend to see certain specificities in the Brazilian colony without testing them in a contrastive way. One of them, perhaps the largest one, is Luso-tropicalism, in light of which the following ideas were forged: the climate of hot lands, like those of Brazil, instigated lust; this immorality, which occurred among the various ethnic groups that populated the colony, was tolerated and/or managed as a colonial policy of population increase, a distinctive feature of Portuguese colonization. Since these arguments assume that in the colony the ecclesiastical judicial mechanisms of vigilance and discipline did not exist, were inoperative or complacent, a review will be

According to Polish law, churches and other religious associations that enjoy the guarantee of freedom of conscience and religion, grant some of their members the status of ministers. The Republic of Poland is characterized by the diversity of functioning religious communities. At the same time, the priests whom they establish, set strictly defined goals and objectives to be achieved. Provisions of Polish law relating directly to the clergy provide for a certain division, affecting the legal status within this group as well.
This work attempts to answer the question of whether the principle of equality of all before the law is maintained in relation to clergy in religious associations. On the basis of the analysis, it should be noted that the provisions of Polish law, when determining the status of clergy, take into account certain specific differences in their service as well as differences in their own law. This provision does not contradict the principle of equality as expressed in article 32 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland.

The impact of ministry on Australian families is understudied. We conducted a qualitative survey across four years, including an online, anonymous survey of over 281 participants. 99.1% told us that we needed to provide structured, long- term support, regulated systems of accountability + extensive and uniquely tailored pastoral care to suit their personal needs. Their responses, in a brief, easy-to-read format, are below. We encourage communities to share and discuss these findings where possible.

AIM This paper aimed to gain insight into the spiritual aspects of nursing care within the context of health care in the Netherlands and to provide recommendations for the development of care in this area and the promotion of the professional expertise of nurses. BACKGROUND International nursing literature suggests that caregivers are expected to pay attention to spiritual aspects of patient care. In Dutch nursing literature, the spiritual dimension is increasingly becoming a focus of attention. Despite this, there is a lack of empirical data from professional practice in the Netherlands. METHOD Data were collected by means of focus group interviews. The sample was made up of the specialist fields of cardiology, oncology and neurology and divided into groups of patients, nurses and hospital chaplains. The interviews took place between May and December 2004. Data were qualitatively analysed using the computer programme Kwalitan. RESULTS Different spiritual themes emerged from the int...

Multiple factors influence end-of-life (EOL) care discussions that occur in health care systems, within organizations, among individuals working within these systems and in patients and family/friend support networks. This study examined barriers to EOL care discussions as experienced by health care providers working in a public safety-net health care system where the majority of their patients were low-income and immigrant Latinos seeking medical treatment. Qualitative data were collected in South Central Los Angeles through semistructured interviews with 46 health care providers from different disciplines in medicine, nursing, social work, and chaplaincy. The themes indicated communication barriers in the public sector health care setting and sociocultural patient- and family-level factors. All providers made valuable contributions to clarify the complexity of the problems. Universal strategies are needed to improve communication.

The authors reviewed the literature on mental health issues among clergy and other religious professionals, using electronic searches of databases of medical (Medline), nursing (CINAHL), psychology (PsycINFO), religious (ATLA), and sociological research (Sociofile). The existing research indicates the Protestant clergy report higher levels of occupational stress than Catholic priests, brothers, or sisters. Catholic sisters repeatedly reported the lowest work-related stress, whereas women rabbis reported the highest stress levels in various studies. Occupational stress appears to be a source of family stress among Protestant clergy--a factor which clergy and their spouses believe the denominational leadership should address. High levels of stress also have been found to be associated with sexual misconduct among clergy. The authors make several recommendations based on these and other findings they report in their review.

Between reform and reformism. Clothing of papal manor-house in time of crisis

After return of popes from Avignon back to Rome and after overcomming conciliar crisis at council of Konstanz (1414-1418) and Basilej (1431-1449) had to renaissace popes reestablish their authority. It assisted them surprisingly visual power of ceremonies, which let easily know, which would otherwise theologists explain for a long time in words. It confirmed importance of papal symposiarch (magister caeremoniarum apostolicarum), who in terms of noble scenography and particular clothing „properties“ focused attention on person of pope. Ponderous medieval form of representative clothing of pope also cardinals started to abbreviate. Pope set up to use new headgear called camauro and reduced hood called mozetta and since 16.century also special train called falda. It all ought emphasize exceptionality of pope in Church, apparent maiestas papalis. Even purple wardrobe admited of transfromation – old type of purple cape decreased, cardinalate started to wear purple biretta and mantelletta (1464).

La promulgación de la nueva Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis: «El don de la vocación presbiteral» hace necesaria una revisión y actualización del sentido de las normas del Código de Derecho Canónico que se refieren a la formación sacerdotal. Este breve artículo trata de destacar esas novedades que vienen a aclarar o completar los cánones, pero, al mismo tiempo, destacar algunos interrogantes que plantea la lectura de la Ratio, apuntando algunas soluciones y dejando para una reflexión ulterior otras.

The promulgation of the new Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis: «The gift of the priestly vocation» necessitates a revision and update of the meaning of the Code of Canon Law norms that refer to priestly formation. This short article tries to highlight those novelties that come to clarify or complete the canons, but, at the same time, highlight some questions posed by the reading of the Ratio, pointing out some solutions and leaving others for further reflection.

The increased social acceptance of LGBTQ individuals and behaviors has begun to conflict with traditional Abrahamic proscriptions. An "opt-in" sample of 324 individuals who attended Jewish congregations was recruited from the Internet as part of a larger research project. This analysis is conducted on part of the data collected in that study. Two categories of congregations were identified: congregations in which the rabbi had self-revealed as LGBTQ and congregations in which the rabbi was believed heterosexual. There was no significant difference in the level of trust in the rabbi based on the LGBTQ status of the rabbi, which differed from findings in secular organizations. The results of the analysis indicated a need for further study, both quantitative and qualitative. The public self-revelation of LGBTQ identity on the part of the rabbi is a religious signal, thus possibly contributing to higher levels of trust.

I explore what the literature indicates makes for excellence in teaching and teacher-training, and then articulate distinct elements of pre-service teacher training for Jewish educators and rabbis.

En el pensamiento de John Wyclif (c. 1328-1384) se encuentran íntimamente entrelazados el poder, el dominio y la gracia. En su amplio proyecto reformador, que abarcaría todo lo existente, el Doctor evangelicus considera que todo dominio es conferido por Dios en la forma de un préstamo, y tiene como modelo –inalcanzable para los humanos- el dominio divino. Wyclif distingue tres tipos de dominio de los seres humanos: el del estado de inocencia, el de la vida postlapsaria y el de la bienaventuranza posterior al Juicio Final. El dominio natural del Adán inocente y el dominio evangélico de la reconstitución de la inocencia por medio de la encarnación de Cristo son considerados como legítimos por Wyclif. El nivel histórico –el dominio civil- solo puede volverse justo si obtiene la gracia de Dios. En relación a los bienes temporales, la Iglesia solamente puede disponer de ellos en la modalidad de la comunidad de bienes. El clero es considerado únicamente como parte de la Iglesia institucional y sin relación  comprobable con la Iglesia invisible, la única verdadera. La reforma radical que propone nuestro autor tiene como uno de sus ejes principales el apartamiento total del clero de lo temporal y su sometimiento a las autoridades laicas. En esta realización en el siglo del proyecto de reforma wyclifita juega un papel relevante la doble vara que aplica el pensador inglés, que permite una libertad de movimientos al laicado –liderado en Inglaterra por una monarquía parlamentaria incipiente- que le es rotundamente negada al clero. A este orden le corresponde la valiosa tarea de atender los bienes espirituales, pero sin ningún reconocimiento de un rol mediador entre los hombres y Dios. Queda así claro que Wyclif administra de manera no ecuánime el principio de la gracia como condición del dominium, según se refiera al poder temporal o al espiritual.

Mulder and Martí have presented a riveting account of the dangers of turning religion into just one more product in the capitalist marketplace. While the book will be of obvious interest to church leaders contemplating the expansion of their ministries, it should be required reading for anyone concerned with the way neoliberal economic models have demeaned and corrupted religious as well as educational institutions.

Transitions in the American religious landscape including religious non-affiliation, congregational and seminary enrollment declines, and the proliferation of megachurches have reshaped the clergy labor market and increased the precariousness of this type of work. One potential indication of this growing instability is the supposedly increasing number of bivocational clergy who depend on a second job to supplement their income. There is little reliable data, however, that can trace out national-level trends of bivocational clergy. Using Current Population Survey data, this study tests whether there has been any proportional increase in bivocational clergy and to what extent such an increase has been localized to certain groups. We find that the percentage of clergy who report having a second job has not increased since 1996. However, clergy who are female, unmarried, or working in the American northeast are increasingly likely to report working a second job. These trends suggest that clergy who receive occupational advantages―due to gender or marital status―or who live in highly religious/low cost-of-living regions of the country may be protected from taking on a second job whereas those clergy without these advantages increasingly must depend on additional sources of income.

Leaders play an important role in clergy’s response to their call. Toxic leadership, also known as the dark side of leadership, negatively influences their decision to remain in full-time pastoral ministry. There is a shortage of clergy in the Roman Catholic Church and a distribution or displacement challenge facing the Protestant church. This shortage adversely affects the future of the church as clergy play an integral part in the preparation of congregants for their works of service (Eph 4:11–12). The purpose of this study was to discover what factors were
involved in clergy’s response to the call to full-time pastoral ministry. A practical theological grounded theory approach was used to discover the properties of the category ‘leadership’. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and data were coded using Glaser and Strauss’s grounded theory methodology. The category of ‘leadership’ includes properties such as favouritism, leaders abdicating responsibilities, leaders taking no action/being inactive, leaders ‘labeling’ subordinates, leaders’ ‘unethical’ behaviour, nepotism, poor conflict handling, poor handling of multi-racial issues, being placed on a pedestal, affirming subordinates and autocratic leadership style. Osmer’s descriptive-empirical task was used as a practical theological lens through which to view the category ‘leadership’. The results indicated three responses by clergy to the call to full-time pastoral ministry: not being called in the first place, a dual call (being bi-vocational or ‘seasonal’) and being called but leaving anyway because of, among other factors, toxic leadership. A steward leadership approach is recommended in response to the dark side of leadership (Article available at http://hts.org.za/index.php/HTS/article/view/4625).

Pomimo prowadzonych od wielu lat badań nad historią miasta Wilna, wciąż niewiele wiemy o jego mieszkańcach, szczególnie ludziach drugiego i trzeciego planu historii, żyjących w cieniu wielkich dworów i pałaców. Równie słabo zbadane pozostają jurydyki wczesnonowożytnej stolicy Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego, w tym jurydyka kapituły wileńskiej. W oparciu o rękopiśmienny materiał źródłowy podjęta została próba jej zarysu oraz ukazania ludzi i problemów w niej zachodzących; jej zobrazowaniu posłużyć może załączony w aneksie Rejestr wybierania poboru z 1602 roku, dokument publikowany po raz pierwszy. Problemy własnościowe i personalne krzyżowały się w licznych sprawach związanych z występkami kanonika Izaaka Fechtinusa († 25 V 1607), który przez wiele lat gorszyć miał ulicę wileńską, mieszkańców miasta i kapitulnych konfratrów. Na przestrzeni kilkunastu lat wielokrotnie zarzucano kanonikowi nocne włóczęgi z podejrzanymi osobami, pijaństwo oraz utrzymywanie i mieszkanie z kobietami, najczęściej na terenie jurydyki kapitulnej. Bezskutecznie nakładano nań kary pieniężne, wstrzymywano wypłatę refekcji, grożono pozbawieniem kanonii, stosowano areszt domowy i zakazywano wstępu do Kościoła.

Commentary on the new Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis: The gift of the priestly vocation by making a brief exposition of the history of the recent Magisterium and analyzing the aspects collected in the document.

Leaders in health care chaplaincy and practice guidelines, such as the Association of Professional Chaplains' Standards of Practice, call for chaplains to develop an evidence-based approach to their work. The extent to which practicing chaplains accept this new paradigm is unclear. The aim of this study was to gather information regarding chaplains' attitudes and practices with respect to evidence-based chaplaincy care. Data for the study came from surveys of healthcare chaplains working in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA, n = 440), the Department of Defense (DoD, n = 164), and civilian settings (n = 169). Chaplains from all three contexts strongly endorsed an evidence-based approach to chaplaincy. Approximately three-fourths of the healthcare chaplains from VA and DoD and 42% of those from civilian settings considered their current chaplaincy practices to be evidenced based, with over half in VA and DoD samples and 94% in the civilian sample indicating that they woul...
