Continuation of tape recordings of the classes of Missiology
“Rerum Ecclesiae” Pio XI February 28, 1926
“Encyclical on missionary activity in which he gives the title of Pontifical Missionary Works at 4. It also introduces the World Mission Sunday. It aims to double the field: The Church and the Church sent helped.
Raises up vocations in native institutions. Formation of catechists. Reiterates again as the previous document. The popes again reiterate the above claim forever. And always something new arises. This Pope has been called the Pope of the Missions. It was he who gave impetus to the consecration of bishops native accelerating the move to the implementation of the Church.
The tone of his missionary activity is to expedite the existence and autonomy of native apostles, reiterates this. Working to these vocations arise strongly, because that way they can work the same national immersed in their culture, and that access for foreign missionaries is very difficult. China has a China Patriotic Catholic Church. But yet they have left the Papal authority. Separately.
This is the Pope’s missionary document XXII. Thus has a historical context, which is a credit to the Pope and his immediate staff, and some Cardinals. This paper also presents and points to a double field, he said. Now beginning to raise always the responsibility of the whole Church with regard to The World at War universal evangelization. Interest stands to highlight the responsibility of the bishops with the Pope. Model is first to be a missionary.
Vocations, missionary motivation, specifically to raise support and vocational, are based on the appreciation of the gift of faith, and the urgency of Christian charity, which should lead to the proclamation of the gospel to all peoples.
“Evangelii Praecones” Pio XII June 2, 1951
Encyclical on how to promote missionary work. At one point in the post war (WWII) the world is reconciliation. On the occasion of 25 anniversary of the encyclical before.
It harmonizes the two objectives of the mission, which is called to conversion and faith. The implementation of the established Church hierarchy native. The appointment of Bishops, and also knowledge of the language. Making the cooperation of the laity. There is talk of Catholic Action. The pope carried forward.
It leaves to summarize the missionary history of the past 25 years. That has led to persecution and martyrdom. Makes a special appeal to the missionary help in a time of war. Also in the mission countries where there had been a great loss of missionary and apostolic works. He had lost territory, and human resources.
Do not forget that the Pope had issued an encyclical on missionary July 13, 1940, addressed to the hierarchy of Portugal, she praises the great missionary work done in Africa, America, and Asia. In this encyclical, there are contributions of outstanding universal value. As is all about the training of missionaries. He later published third missionary encyclical (“Fides Domun”) In this letter we are seeing the Pope outlined in two chapters:
In the first chapter we look back on recent years, the boom has been the missionary. In the second chapter, keep in mind the principles and rules of missionary activity. What are the objectives, about the native clergy?, Of lay cooperation in the field of education. The press. The charitable action. The social doctrine and practice of the Church. The importance of the arts sector. It also notes the importance of the Pontifical Mission Societies “
