I.Iasos 220 and the regulations about the priest of Zeus Megistos

en Le présent article livre une relecture attentive de l’inscription d’époque classique I.Iasos 220 (conservée au British Museum), un règlement cultuel bien connu sur les droits du prêtre de Zeus Megistos. Des progrès dans la lecture ont été favorisés par la découverte fortuite, pendant les fouilles italiennes de 2011, d’une stèle fragmentaire conservant une partie d’une copie légèrement plus tardive du même texte. Lors du remploi de la pierre conservée à Londres, les lettres de sa partie centrale ont été intentionnellement effacées, ce qui rend le fragment récemment découvert particulièrement précieux. La nouvelle édition proposée ici corrige, dans certains cas, et confirme, dans d’autres — en dépit de conjectures ultérieures — nombre des restitutions proposées par le premier éditeur (E.L. Hicks). Les progrès effectués dans la lecture de ce texte contribuent à éclairer de nouveaux aspects des prérogatives du prêtre. Un commentaire aborde en outre tous les problèmes posés par ce document.

The Study on Koreanische Grammatik, Written by Anselm Romer, a German Priest in 1927

이 논문에서는 독일인 가톨릭 사제 안젤름 로머 신부가 1927년에 저술한 한국어 문법서 『Koreanische Grammatik(한국어 문법)』 제2판의 내용을 분석하고 이 책이 언어학적으로 어떠한 의미를 지니는지를 밝히고자 하였다. 이 문법서는 한국에 입국한 독일인 사제들을 위한 교육 자료로 사용하고자 집필한 것으로서 한국어 문법을 독일어 문법과 대조하여 독일인들이 한국어를 직관적으로 이해하고 습득하는 데 도움을 주는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다.BR 이 책은 모두 세 권으로 이루어져 있으며 처음 두 권에서는 동사의 활용을 중심으로 하여 형태론적인 문제를 다루고 세 번째 책에서는 다양한 형태의 이어진 문장을 다루었다. 로머의 문법서에 4격 체계, 분사 등의 개념이 나오는 것은 저자가 독일어 문법에 한국어를 일대일로 대응시켰기 때문이며, 이를 통하여 한국에 입국한 이후에야 한국어를 배우기 시작한 독일인이었던 로머는 자신의 모어인 독일어의 문법 지식을 기반으로 하여 한국어 문법을 기술하고자 하였다는 점을 알 수 있다. BR 로머의 문법서는 이후 루치우스 로트 신부가 1936년에 『Grammatik der Koreanischen Sprache(한국어의 문법)』 을 집필하는 데 큰 영향을 주었다. 로트의 문법서는 로머의 문법서 내용을 이어받았으나 문법 설명 방식 등을 한층 체계화한 것으로 평가된다.

Susan Ackerman. The Mother of Eshmunazor, Priest of Astarte: A Study of her Cultic Role

L’A. traite le role religieux de la mere du roi sidonien Echmunazar, phenicienne et pretresse d’Astarte. La riche documentation en Phenicie atteste la participation importante de pretresses au culte d’Astarte meme si, semble-t-il, cette participation etait reservee aux femmes nees ou mariees dans un milieu de pretres et sans droit au sacrifice. Bien que limitee, cette activite etait contraire aux habitudes du monde syro-cananeen, ou les femmes ne participaient pas au culte.

Bruno Overlaet. And Man Created God? Kings, Priests and Gods on Sasanian Investiture reliefs

Apres reexamen des inscriptions, des representations figurees ainsi que des evenements historiques qui leur sont associes l’A. met en evidence les changements dans l’iconographie des soi-disant scenes d’investiture royale par un dieu dans l’art rupestre des Sassanides. Sous le regne d’Ardashir I, au lieu des scenes de ceremonies qui se deroulent au milieu des courtisans et des pretres (Firuzabad et Naqsh-i Radjab), des scenes plus symboliques apparaissent (Naqsh-i Rustam I). Puis, selon l’int...

Resisting Motherhood in Thomas Kilroy’s Talbot’s Box

This paper discusses the heretofore unexamined role of women characters as performing agents in Thomas Kilroy’s play, Talbot’s Box . Employing a close analysis of textual patterns, it argues that the first Priest Figure and the Woman represent a collaborative effort by two women to highlight and to resist their confinement into roles of symbolized motherhood. In this aim, they are ultimately unsuccessful. Their relationship is fractured, and its object thwarted by the actions of the play’s male characters. We see their suppression as shameful indictment of what it means to be a woman in the world Kilroy is showing us, and by drawing attention to their pain, we are better able to understand why Matt Talbot seeks a life of solitude.

Baptism as Christian Initiation according to the Catechism for Filipino Catholics: Pedagogical Implications for Today

Given the prevailing outlook today that baptism automatically washes away sin if the rite is correctly administered, there are five topics that need to be highlighted and explained in any prebaptismal instruction or catechesis. These are: (1) Christ’s baptism as confirmation of his identity and call to inaugurate the Kingdom of God; (2) Christ as the truly “baptized one,” who is “deeply immersed” in God, including an explanation of how this idea is actually replicated and lived out in the faith of the family who represents the child in infant baptisms; (3) the refocusing from water washing away original sin to the Holy Spirit freeing us from si n; (4) water’s l ife-sustaining and destructive qualities which symbolize Christ’s passage from death to life, and our own participation in this paschal my stery; (5) baptism into Christ as baptism into his body, the Church, since the struggle with our individual sins and the sins of the world is always a collective task, in view and in fulfillment of Christ’s threefold mission as prophet, priest, and king, to further God’s reign in the world. These topics highlight the fact that baptism, like any other sacrament, works not only through the intrinsic power of the sacraments to communi cate grace, but more importantly, through the active and intentional engagement in faith and holiness of both recipients and ministers, an engagement which makes the sacraments not only canonically valid but existentially fruitful and effective.

Próba nadania praw parafialnych katolickiej kuracji w Suszu na przełomie XIX i XX wieku. Przyczynek do badań nad pruską polityką wyznaniową

Starania o nadanie osobowości prawnej placowce duszpasterskiej w Suszu podejmowano juz w 1868 r. Zabiegano wowczas o swobode obrotu środkow finansowych przez tamtejszą katolicką stacje misyjną. Pierwszy duszpasterz suski – ks. Franz Albert Loeper, urzedujący w tym mieście od 1870 r., ponowil wcześniejszą probe. Wniosek o uzyskanie praw parafialnych przedlozono wladzom panstwowym za pośrednictwem biskupa chelminskiego juz w 1873 r., niestety bezskutecznie. Po kilku latach wznowiono procedure, dokonując uprzednio wyboru przedstawicieli lokalnej wspolnoty katolickiej. Ostatecznie wladze panstwowe udzielily pozwolenia na erygowanie parafii misyjnej w Suszu, co nastąpilo w 1902 r. Poza prawem zrzeszania wiernych, zarządzania wlasnym majątkiem i swobodą szafowania sakramentami, nie posiadala jednak pelni praw parafialnych. Nie mogla zatem ubiegac sie o przywileje finansowe udzielane przez panstwo pruskie. Kolejne prośby o zmiane statusu prawnego tejze placowki duszpasterskiej odrzucano, motywując nieprzychylne stanowisko m.in. spadkiem liczby wiernych. Obawiano sie przy tym polonizacji Susza, jego okolic oraz krzewienia tendencji narodowościowych wśrod polskojezycznej spoleczności. Mimo wieloletnich zabiegow nie udalo sie zmienic statusu prawnego opisywanej parafii misyjnej. Jej funkcjonowanie bylo uzaleznione od pomocy finansowej ze strony diecezji chelminskiej, stowarzyszen i organizacji katolickich.

The burnout severity level was significantly higher amongst Imams in Republic of Srpska than amongst Imams in Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina in the postwar Bosnia-Herzegovina

Introduction Modern researches suggested that the burnout syndrome of workers employed in the social services increased and this term is taken as a working diagnosis to indicate a particular form of psychological (mental and emotional) exhaustion due to overload at work. Objective To investigate the differences of burnout syndrome severity amongst Imams (Islamic priests) in the Republic of Srpska (RS) and amongst Imams in the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina (FBH) in the postwar Bosnia-Herzegovina (BH). Methods The sample was consisted from 148 Imams (68 from RS) of age (mean±standard deviation) 40.2±10.7 years (RS=39.7±11.1 years and FBH=40.6±10.2 years, t -test=0.5, P =0.6). We used the standardized – Burnout test of Archibald Hart from 2009. Results The obtained results indicate that the level of burnout syndrome severity was significantly higher amongst Imams in the Republic of Srpska (mean±standard deviation=3.0±1.5 on the Lickert scale 1–5) than amongst Imams i the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina (2.2±1.3) (Student's t -test=4.757, P Conclusion The level of burnout syndrome severity was significantly higher amongst Imams in the Republic of Srpska than amongst Imams i the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina in the postwar Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Without awareness of what I am

Introduction Fifty-year-old male. As a summary note that has a history of psychotic disorder from 25 years to coincide with the theological studies and your income as a priest. It has continued since then reviews and consultations in psychiatry, with two previous hospitalizations in private hospitals. It was stable with low doses of risperidone. Apparently, it makes a routine life linked to the activities of the church. Two months ago, he began to be irritable, suspicious, with discussions and problems at work, coinciding with the abandonment of treatment. Since the death of her mother a year ago has presented worsening. Objectives It presents the case of a patient who has no awareness of illness. Methods Psychopathological examination: conscious, oriented, scarcely manageable. Psychomotor restlessness. Expansive while maintaining distances, dysphoric and irritable. Verbiage. Ideas prejudice family-centered. There appears to be perceptual disturbances. Sleep-wake rhythms preserved. Results Treatment was initiated with injectable paliperidone administered dose of 150mg and 100mg, with 12mg of oral paliperidone with good response progressively. At high partial remission of symptoms, it is factual. Conclusions The lack of awareness of the disease is non-pharmacological factors that can make it difficult to comply with neuroleptic treatment. These patients do not calibrate well how important that medication has on the evolution of his illness. Therefore, the therapeutic substance of such failure worsens the quality of life of patients and their families, as well as the prognosis of their disease presenting increasingly severe relapses.

"Kann Ein Katholik Sozialdemokrat Sein?". Teoria e pratica di un'incompatibilità in Germania alla luce del caso magontino (1890-1920)

In the decades at the turn of the twentieth century, Socialists and Catholics in Germany stood at two opposite poles of a propaganda battle over the possibility of osmosis between their respective milieus. According to the former, a Katholik had several reasons for being a Sozialdemokrat as well; for the latter, on the contrary, Christianity and Socialism were two elements of an irreconcilable antithesis: this idea was conveyed through a series of publications that continued until the first postwar period. While the Catholic point of view seemed very clear theoretically, in practical terms things were far more complicated. What attitude should Catholic priests take towards those believers who sympathized with the socialist ideal or had embraced it, and nonetheless wanted to continue their life within the Church? This paper investigates this question through the case-study of the Diocese of Mainz, where some parish priests in the early twentieth century wondered as to the advisability of absolving, in the confessional, readers of socialist newspapers, and of granting church burials to SPD militants. It then considers the postwar situation, when the German episcopacy decided for the first time to intervene as a body in order to determine guidelines for the pastoral care of Socialist Catholics.
