Christian unity, or the “ecumenical movement,” is one of Joseph Ratzinger’s (turn Benedict XVI) most apparent apostolates during his Pontificate. His thought on the matter is a development of the theologies developed in the Second Vatican Council’s Lumen Gentium and John Paul II’s Ut Unum Sint, borrowing the words “exchange of gifts,” which affirms elements of sanctification present in churches “separated” from Rome. This work will expand on how Benedict XVI’s teachings about the Eucharist as the Sacrament of Unity gained merit in the Church’s ecumenical movement. This theology can be described as a “Eucharistic Ecclesiology,” and it has earlier codification made formal through the thought of Henri de Lubac. It will be done firstly through an exposition of de Lubac’s commentary in Mystici Corporis, which confirms the origins of Eucharistic Ecclesiology through Patristic and Pauline theology. Next is a look at Pope Benedict XVI’s interjection of this theology into his ecumenical thought with a particular emphasis on the essentialities of the ontological reality of the Church, the shared Christian traditions, and “spiritual ecumenism.” In the final discussions, we shall include a quick run through his Pontificate’s ecumenical initiatives where the teachings about Eucharistic Ecclesiology are dispersed in various circumstances.
基督教合一或 "大公运动 "是约瑟夫-拉青格(即本笃十六世)在担任教皇期间最明显的传教活动之一。他在这一问题上的思想是对梵蒂冈第二届大公会议的《普世博闻》和若望-保罗二世的《合一》(Ut Unum Sint)中所阐发的神学的发展,借用了 "交换礼物 "一词,肯定了与罗马 "分离 "的教会中存在的成圣要素。本著作将进一步阐述本笃十六世关于圣体是合一圣事的教导如何在教会的普世运动中获得价值。这一神学可被称为 "圣体传道论",亨利-德-卢巴克(Henri de Lubac)较早地将其正式编纂成典。首先,我们将对德-卢巴克在《圣体奥秘》(Mystici Corporis)一书中的评论进行阐述,该书通过教父神学和保罗神学确认了圣体神学的起源。接下来,我们将探讨教皇本笃十六世将这一神学融入其普世思想的情况,并特别强调教会本体论现实的本质、共同的基督教传统以及 "精神普世主义"。在最后的讨论中,我们将快速回顾本笃十六世教宗的普世倡议,在这些倡议中,有关圣体教会论的教义被分散在不同的环境中。

The blurring boundaries between therapy and human enhancement raise a lot of ethical questions that need to be addressed. Therapy is healing and restoring the sick to health; enhancement is improving the normal functioning of the body. With nanomedicine, the boundary becomes even hazier. Nanomedicine refers to the application of nanotechnology to the prevention and treatment of diseases. The European Science Foundation defines it as the science and technology of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease and traumatic injury, relieving pain, and preserving and improving human health using molecular tools and knowledge of the human body (ESF, 2005). While nanomedicine delivers numerous and unprecedented benefits to the health and general well-being of individuals, nano- enabled human enhancement technologies will be the gateway to the transhumanist vision of immortality. Transhumanism contends that through the advancements in science and technology, we can overcome our physical and cognitive limitations, extend human lifespan, and attain perpetual existence. The blurring boundaries between enhancement will have remarkable consequences on what it means to be a human being. The study will make use of New and Emerging Science and Technology (NEST) Ethics as a framework for addressing dichotomous approaches and polarizing perspectives on human enhancement.

: The juridical consequences of the canonical procedure for the dispensation from the natural and divine positive laws are directed to the dissolution of the natural and supernatural bond validly contracted either in marriage or in the religious profession. A supernatural power may dissolve both the natural and supernatural bonds through the exercise of the ‘ Potestas Vicaria’ of the Roman Pontiff who exercises it not as the Supreme Head of the Universal Catholic Church but in virtue of his prerogative as the “ Vicarius Christi ” on earth. The correct exercise of the divine power is based on theology and grounded in canonical science. Its right understanding and interpretation are harmonious employment of the metaphysical principles applied in theological and canon sciences. The author traces the theological foundation of the potestas vicaria in Sacred Scriptures and Sacred Traditions constantly interpreted and enriched by the Church living Magisterium. The ‘ potestas divina et vicaria’ exercise is based on the canonical provisions and praxis starting from the 7th century. The vicarious power exercised by the Church in the name of God is also referred to as ‘ Potestas Instrumentalis’ , i.e., Instrumental Power. A clearer understanding of the philosophy of this instrumental causality applied in theology and canon law implies a great deal of comprehension of some notion of causality proper of metaphysics.

规范程序的司法后果,从自然和神圣的积极法律的豁免是直接解散自然和超自然的债券有效承包,无论是在婚姻或在宗教职业。一种超自然的力量可以通过罗马教皇行使“牧师权”(Potestas Vicaria)来解除自然和超自然的联系,教皇行使这种权力不是作为普世天主教会的最高元首,而是凭借他作为地球上“基督牧师”的特权。正确运用神的力量是建立在神学和规范科学的基础上的。它的正确理解和解释是神学和正典科学中形而上学原理的和谐运用。作者追溯神学基础的potestas vicaria在圣经和神圣传统不断解释和丰富的教会生活训导。“potestas divina et vicaria”的实践是基于从7世纪开始的规范规定和实践。教会以上帝的名义行使的替代权力也被称为“Potestas Instrumentalis”,即工具性权力。对这种应用于神学和教会法的工具因果关系的哲学的更清晰的理解意味着对形而上学的因果关系的一些概念的大量理解。就业
