Reinventing Theology in Post-Genocide Rwanda
The first comprehensive examination of the Catholic Church's role in the genocide against the Tutsi and its attempts at reconciliation From April to July 1994, more than a million people were killed during the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Tutsi men, women, and children were slaughtered by Hutu extremists in churches and school buildings, and their lifeless bodies were left rotting in these sacred places under the deep silence of church authorities. Pope Francis's apology more than twenty years later presents the opportunity to reimagine the essence of the Church, the missionary enterprise, theology in its multiple dimensions, the purification of memory, and the place of human dignit...
What is the Synodal Journey? The thought of Pope Francis
COP26 finished with a compromise agreement that brings us closer to reducing emissions that will limit global warming to -2C but we have a way to go. Hopefully, COP27 at Sharm-el-Sheik in Egypt will deliver even better emission reductions. Fr Gaël Giraud, director of research at CNRS (Center national de la recherche scientifique) and Loïc Giaconne, Georgetown University, explain we need to shift from what Pope Francis calls a “culture of waste” to a “culture of care.” In recent years, several studies have been published on the “genealogy” of Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s thought. Above all, it is inspired by Romano Guardini and the philosopher Gaston Fessard and the ever present in...
Inculturation in Africa: Challenges and Prospects
A collection of 8 articles from the January 2020 edition of La Civiltà Cattolica, the highly respected and oldest Catholic journal published from Rome. In Inculturation in Africa: Challenges and Prospects, Marcel Uwineza, SJ suggests certain paths that the inculturation process could take in Africa. He explains how refusing to inculturate the Gospel message slows down the process of the Church putting down roots in the continent. Pope Francis urges us not to become accomplices of any forms of human trafficking, but instead to forge a new worldwide solidarity and fraternity. Human Trafficking and the Dignity of Work discusses one of the most important and urgent global social responsibilitie...
Left to Tell
Immaculee Ilibagiza grew up in a country she loved, surrounded by a family she cherished. But in 1994 her idyllic world was ripped apart as Rwanda descended into a bloody genocide. Immaculee’s family was brutally murdered during a killing spree that lasted three months and claimed the lives of nearly a million Rwandans. Incredibly, Immaculee survived the slaughter. For 91 days, she and seven other women huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor while hundreds of machete-wielding killers hunted for them. It was during those endless hours of unspeakable terror that Immaculee discovered the power of prayer, eventually shedding her fear of death and forging a profound and lasting relationship with God. She emerged from her bathroom hideout having discovered the meaning of truly unconditional love—a love so strong she was able seek out and forgive her family’s killers. The triumphant story of this remarkable young woman’s journey through the darkness of genocide will inspire anyone whose life has been touched by fear, suffering, and loss.

Justice After War
Justice After War is aimed especially to both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as the general audience who want to understand the significance of a recent development within the just war tradition, namely, the increasing attention given to the category of jus post bellum (postwar justice and peace). While examining the interrelated challenges of moral and social norms in both political and legal domains, as well as church practices, this work proposes an innovative methodology for linking theology, ethics, and social science so that the ideal and the real can inform each other in the ethics of war and peacebuilding. The main task of this project, then, is to identify what the aut...

Perspectivas sobre la teología y la Iglesia en África
Este número de la revista es el resultado de las conversaciones entre el Consejo editorial de Concilium y los teólogos y agentes de pastoral africanos en el II Congreso Católico Panafricano sobre Teología, Sociedad y Vida Pastoral (Nairobi, Kenia, 18-22 de julio de 2022). Los artículos de este volumen abordan las diversas perspectivas sobre algunas de las cuestiones y preocupaciones más importantes del catolicismo africano contemporáneo. Hoy en día nos enfrentamos a nuevos y complejos desafíos a nivel mundial, que en África se asientan sobre muchos años de lucha de los pueblos africanos en su resistencia a las fuerzas de la muerte y la destrucción. Pero, en medio de todo esto, hay una fuerte esperanza que está enterrada en los corazones de muchos africanos. Este impulso se encarna de forma singular en las bazas de las mujeres africanas y en el dinamismo de los jóvenes africanos.
