This article examines the importance of strengthening the virtue ethics approach in Catholic social teaching for a Chinese Christian community through putting the Catholic tradition and Confucian tradition into dialogue. Through examining the virtue features in the Confucian and Christian traditions, it is found that they share a number of commensurable elements. This study contributes to the ongoing reflection on inculturation in the Hong Kong Church and dialogue between Chinese culture and Christianity. Moreover, strengthening virtue ethics approach in CST is important in moving the hearts of Chinese Christians and transforming them to engage in social justice endeavor, leading to common good and solidarity with the vulnerables. It can complement the principle-based approach in CST. Employing virtue ethics method to approach CST, it would emphasize both rational and emotive approaches rather than primarily cognitive principles, leading to a more holistic formation and integrative way of planning pastoral action. It also offers concrete ways of practice through practicing various virtues. Moreover, it can integrate spirituality and morality, linking personal ethic with social ethic. It is an attempt to contribute to the renewal of ethical methods of Catholic social ethics.

This article examines the processes of peacebuilding in the southernmost part of the Philippines, on the island of Mindanao and smaller, surrounding islands. It begins with the history of the conflict there between Muslim inhabitants and three waves of colonization and settlement by Christians: the Spanish, the Americans, and then Filipinos from other islands. Then efforts at building peace, by Christians and interfaith groups of Christians and Muslims, follow. The author then presents his own experience of working there over the past eight years. It concludes with some reflections about the learnings about peacebuilding that have been emerging over the most recent period.

To the ears of first century hearers and to Asians, Jesus’ harsh saying, “Let the dead bury their own dead,” is not only insensitive and unsympathetic but a blatant transgression of law and tradition. Evidence from the Hebrew Bible to rabbinic sources and even from the wider Greco-Roman sources supports the importance to burying the dead, especially one’s parents. Given the importance of the sacred obligation and cultural expectation to bury one’s parents, Jesus’ statement is both shocking and scandalous. To properly interpret this difficult saying, appropriate contexts are needed. The author demonstrates that the most plausible social context is not connected to the ritual of the primary burial but rather the secondary burial. The practice of secondary burial, which is the gathering of decomposed remains (bones) into ossuaries, primarily served as a fashion statement to enhance the social status of the wealthy class residing primarily in Jerusalem. Contrary to various popular interpretations, the author proposes that the saying is not about the subordination of family ties or about the opposition of filial piety; rather, with this saying Jesus severely opposed the Roman burial practice that had little or no religious significance but rather promoted a practice that preserved the social status of an elite wealthy class. Consequently, the social context of secondary burial provides a new lens and perspective to correctly interpret and understand one of Jesus’ most problematic and enigmatic sayings.

This article is an exploration of and theological reflection on the teaching of Pope Francis about the nature and mission of the church, as expounded in his encyclical Evangelii Gaudium and in the talks and presentations he has given in a number of venues. The author identifies three salient themes in Francis’ thought about the church: (1) the church as communion, (2) a church in solidarity, and (3) a servant church. The author relates Francis’ statements about the church as communion to the ecclesiology of Vatican II, especially as articulated in Lumen Gentium . The article expounds the pope’s emphasis on the need for the church to be in solidarity with the poor and other suffering people in the world, connecting it with statements made by Pope Benedict XVI at the 2007 CELAM gathering at Aparecida. Finally, the author reflects upon Francis’ summons to Christians to embody a spirit of service in their mission to the wider world and in their approach to ministry within the church. The author concludes by acknowledging that Francis’ ecclesiology will undoubtedly continue to develop, but he suggests that these three themes will remain central to the pope’s vision of the church in the modern world.
