Given the theological anthropology and ecclesiological charge of Gaudium et spes , living out its call demands Christians appreciate that “Nothing that is genuinely human fails to find an echo in our hearts,” indeed sometimes a thorn in our hearts. This essay outlines some of the key themes and legacies of Gaudium et spes in light of this focus and then returns to several elements of its “echo” in areas of dialogue, conscience, and resonance for the church today.

If anyone has been a part of the liturgical team at a parish or been involved in any way with parish life, you know that we celebrate Holy Thursday and Good Friday with a powerful liturgy and ritual, but as soon as Good Friday is over, the lilies come out and the sanctuary is decorated for Easter. Holy Saturday, it seems, becomes a liturgical void as we prepare for Easter—it is a marginalized and forgotten in-between space; it becomes, even if unintentionally, an “other.”

This essay argues that the Second Vatican Council, with its characteristic aggiornamento , and the two Special Assemblies for Africa of the Synod of Bishops, have from their incipience indicated the change that would be witnessed within the structures of theological and moral discourses of the future. In a specific manner, the paper aims to show how the contemporary construction of morality online, globally but particularly in Africa, could almost be seen as a prophetic insight already indicated by the vision of the Second Vatican Council and its two Special Assemblies for Africa.

Despite the prevalence of pregnancy loss, theologians and pastoral ministers have continually neglected the experience. In this paper, I suggest that a deep lacuna exists in theological reflection and pastoral practice with respect to the widespread but silenced experience of miscarriage and stillbirth. While Catholic magisterial teaching is outspoken in its opposition to abortion and embryo destruction, the sparse and improvisational nature of theological, pastoral, and liturgical responses to women who experience the loss of a child in the womb calls into question the depth and breadth of its commitment to the conviction that unborn life is sacred and worthy of being mourned. I begin by briefly mapping the contours of the treatment of pregnancy and motherhood in feminist theology, arguing that theological neglect of pregnancy loss impoverishes feminist discourse and pastoral practice. I then identify three areas of social and theological contestation that have contributed to this neglect. Finally, I place personal and pastoral experience in conversation with Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza's retrieval of the Mary Magdalene/empty tomb tradition in John’s gospel (Jn 20:1-18), arguing that it provides a promising hermeneutical lens through which to begin to approach theologically and pastorally women’s experiences of death before birth.

This article evaluates the current Catholic youth ministry practice to, with, and for Catholic LGBTQ youth. The methodology utilized is both descriptive and prescriptive, and calls into question the lack of ministerial presence afforded to Catholic LGBTQ youth. The essay briefly examines the official ecclesiastical documents on homosexuality and their relevance for LGBTQ youth. Next it assesses the major US ecclesial youth ministry document, Renewing the Vision, and calls for its renewal and revision. In particular the article offers concrete recommendations for the two areas of Catholic youth ministry—advocacy and pastoral care—that would have the most positive impact for LGBTQ youth and Catholic youth ministry. Finally, the article calls for the US Catholic bishops, youth ministers, and parents to be more open and affirming with LGBTQ youth and provides some practical suggestions.

One of the most significant consequences of Vatican II has been the worldwide effort at inculturation and contextualization of the Christian tradition, particularly at the level of foundational theology and method. This process implies drawing on the unique patterns of thought, social structures, cultural narratives, and rituals to develop new theological and pastoral sensibilities. This process, termed “prophetic dialogue” by Steve Bevans and Roger Schroeder, [1] seems to be dramatically underway practically everywhere in the Roman Catholic world except, most notably, in the United States. While Hispanics/Latin@s, African Americans, Asian Americans, feminists, etc., have continuously served with an awareness of the need for contextualization, Euro-American academic and ecclesial theology has largely failed to analyze, articulate, and critique its own US cultural context and to engage it in a serious evangelical and theological dialogue. In this article, I propose to offer what I believe are four significant insights about to the task of inculturation/contextualization as it relates particularly to Euro-American theology in the church and academy in the coming decade.

梵蒂冈第二次会议最重要的后果之一是世界范围内对基督教传统的本土化和语境化的努力，特别是在基础神学和方法的层面上。这一过程意味着利用独特的思想模式、社会结构、文化叙事和仪式来发展新的神学和牧灵情感。这个被Steve Bevans和Roger Schroeder称为“预言对话”的过程，似乎在罗马天主教世界的几乎所有地方都在戏剧性地进行着，除了最明显的是在美国。虽然西班牙裔/Latin@s、非裔美国人、亚裔美国人、女权主义者等不断意识到需要情境化，但欧美学术和教会神学在很大程度上未能分析、阐明和批评其自身的美国文化背景，也未能参与严肃的福音派和神学对话。在这篇文章中，我打算提供我认为的关于本土化/语境化任务的四个重要见解，因为它与未来十年教会和学术界的欧美神学特别相关。[10] Stephen B.

This essay explores the ritual dynamics of Good Friday at the San Fernando Cathedral in San Antonio, Texas. Four liturgies take place on this day, the most famous of which is the via crucis , or public reenactment of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. As gripping as the via crucis is, the author focuses on a lesser-known Good Friday liturgy, a traditional Mexican service called the Pesame . In this solemn service, congregants come to pay their condolences to the grieving Mary, who performs a powerful liturgical dance. The essay explores the ways that Mary ’ s dance ignites not only a visceral aesthetics of sense but also a more encompassing aesthetics of the moral imagination. In offering this interpretation, the author draws on insights from both ritual studies and practical theology, showing how they may critically inform each other.
