Episode 13: St Jerome - A modern mind in ancient times
<p><strong>Welcome to La Civiltà Cattolica’s podcast.</strong></p> <p>The great bible scholar St Jerome spoke Latin and Greek and Hebrew. In the 4th Century it was exceptional for a Christian to study Hebrew, almost unheard of.</p> <p>Fluent Hebrew gave St Jerome access to the original bible texts that was unique for the time.</p> <p>Not until centuries later, with the Renaissance, did scholars start taking an interest in Hebrew. Like other great bible scholars, most notably Martin Luther, Jerome translated from Hebrew to his vernacular and as a Roman that was Latin.</p> <p>Jerome’s bible became known as the vulgate, it was the “bible of the people.” For centuries it was the Bible Latin Christianity read from.</p> <p>Today, we have access to several centuries of research, Hebrew to Latin dictionaries and grammars, and linguistic studies has entered a new era as we have software specifically designed for students of the bible that provide grammatical analysis and philological analysis. Contemporary students, translators of the bible are privileged to have access to these resources.</p> <p>What is so admirable about Jerome is that he acquired his Hebrew and completed the translations without this body of knowledge or the technology. He had access to Jewish scholars; yes, scholars because even in the Jewish community Hebrew was not generally spoken. It was for scholars; it was a language of learning and he paid for their services as teachers.</p> <p><strong>Fr Michael Kelly</strong>interviews <strong>Fr. Dominik Markl SJ </strong>a bible scholar with a deep admiration for what St Jerome accomplished.</p> <p>Michael Kelly, SJ is the publisher of the English language edition of the 171-year-old Jesuit periodical <strong>La Civiltà Cattolica</strong>, published in English since 2017 is also available in Italian, French, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese.</p> <p>Anchored by <strong>Robert Barber</strong> and produced by <strong>Binu Alex</strong>for La Civiltà Cattolica</p>

Episode 12: Accompanying and Discerning the Australian Synod
<p><strong>Welcome to La Civiltà Cattolica’s podcast.</strong></p> <p>In 2018 the People of God in Australia began preparing for their first Plenary Council since the Second Vatican Council. After delays due to the pandemic, the Australian Catholic Church gathered for the first Assembly of this Plenary Council in Adelaide, October 2021. A second assembly will be held in June 2022.</p> <p>“It's the first time really, the first time, in Australian church history that there has ever been an effort to listen to anybody else but official voices. And that means those participating have to learn a whole lot of new skills and aptitudes to be able to make the thing work,” La Civilta Cattolica, English publisher Fr Michael Kelly says.</p> <p>In this podcast, Fr Kelly interviews Geraldine Doogue, one of Australia’s most respected journalists, about the Council and its processes. Geraldine works for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation presenting Saturday Extra for ABC Radio National and Compass for ABC TV. She is one of the most experienced people in Australian media.</p> <p>An informed and searching Catholic, she has followed the recent, landmark Australian Plenary Council meetings to understand the way these have and will contribute to the growth of the Church she loves.</p> <p>“There are groups trying to derail this but I think there's a broad bulk of middlebrow Catholics who are members, who are determined that it be a genuine process,” Doogue says.</p> <p>But with such opposition could that process be a Pandora’s Box?</p> <p>“Episodic and systematic, and you might be inclined to say, ‘oh, dear, how mediocre’. But by the same token, that process… is forcing people to talk to each other,” Doogue believes.</p> <p>Together, Michael and Geraldine follow the evolution of the Synodal approach in Australia.</p> <p>“Most of the effective work of the Australian church is done through ministries, schools, hospitals, welfare institutions, which are run by lay people. So that's only going to get more so and become much more significant as time unfolds,” Kelly says.</p> <p>Michael Kelly, SJ is the publisher of the English language edition of the 171-year-old Jesuit periodical La Civiltà Cattolica, published in English since 2017 and available in Italian, French, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese apart from English.</p> <p><strong>Anchored by Robert Barber and produced by Binu Alex for La Civiltà Cattolica</strong></p>

Episode 11: China and the Catholic Church: Education and inculturation are building a global society
<p>Welcome to La Civiltà Cattolica’s podcast.</p> <p><strong>Fr Michael Kelly </strong>in conversation with <strong>Fr You Guo Jiang, SJ</strong> a teacher at Boston College who researches and writes on education, global engagement, student development, spirituality and Christianity in China. This includes biographical articles on prominent Chinese Christians such as Ma Xiangbo, founder of Fudan University, Shanghai and the famous jurist, Wu Ching Hsiung who helped draft China’s first constitution.</p> <p>This conversation reveals the contours and the shape of Chinese engagement with Christianity. We hear about the themes and topics of Jiang’s research and the central message of this body of work.</p> <p>“The role of Jesuit education, or any education, is not just to teach you a skill or give you a degree or diploma but to form the whole person. In that way we combine the science, technology and the humanities for personal formation”</p> <p>This podcast conversation explains how these concepts are received, especially if they are expressed in Chinese by and for Chinese. “Visiting China and meeting with students and parents I try to promote this idea: what kind of person or citizen do you want to be. How can you make a difference?” Jiang wants young people to consider: “What sort of impact you will have on the world – will you help create a harmonious society, with love justice and concern for your neighbors, people less advantaged or marginalized?”</p> <p>“Education is not just about status, ranking. How do we make education an instrument to make the world a better place?” he tells us.</p> <p>Western Christians have often not understood China and the Chinese, and attempting to engage often imposed their own culture on their understanding of how Christianity is to be accepted</p> <p>“Throughout China and Asia we often hear this term inculturation. East and West must sit down and dialogue, communicate and negotiate…. We need to build a global society where everyone feels they are part of a big family”</p> <p>East and West, religions, people, groups, politicians must seek mutual understand: “We need open, peaceful and transparent dialogue”</p> <p>Listen as two Jesuits, one Eastern, one Western engage with respect and an understanding of the other’s heritage.</p> <p>Michael Kelly, SJ is the publisher of the English language edition of the 171-year-old Jesuit periodical La Civiltà Cattolica, published in English since 2017 and available in Italian, French, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese apart from English.</p> <p><strong>Image Courtesy: Sam Zhai / The Heights</strong></p> <p><strong>Anchored by Robert Barber and produced by Binu Alex for La Civiltà Cattolica</strong></p>
