Between the late 7th and the early 8th Centuries eleven bishops of Rome were "Greeks", Greek-speakers born in Sicily or in the eastern regions of the Mediterranean world. Many historians labelled those years as the «Byzantine captivity»of the papacy, assuming that "Greek" popes necessarily were imposed by a Byzantine Emperor. On the contrary, it has been argued that Greek popes did not matter, because the city of Rome was politically already Byzantine and culturally Greek, point of arrival of a considerable migration of Easterners who simply rose through the ranks of the Roman ecclesiastical hierarchy. Through the analysis of Agatho's papacy (678-681), the first "Greek" pope, and his role in the Monothelite controversy, it will be shown that the debate should be reopened. Their "Greekness", neither ethnic nor political, but cultural, did matter, and it shaped the cultural, political and ideological history of the papacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper analyses the Eleonora Ramirez di Montalvo's experience (1602-1659): she is the founder of the congregation of the so-called Montalve. The congregation was dedicated to the education of girls humble and of noble young women. This is a case study of a certain importance, owing to the link between the Eleonora's educational project and the pastoral job of the Florentine Jesuits and owing to the success of the Montalve schools, the educational and training model realised by the congregation founded by Eleonora. It would be applied by Grand Duke Leopold of Lorraine to the female Conservatories that, by his will, were instituted after the suppression of the ecclesiastical institutions. The focus of the paper is on the relationship between Eleonora Ramirez's experience and the extremely difficult socio-sanitary and economic situation of the pandemic period (1630-1633), reading it in parallel with the activity of the Florentine Jesuits whose pastoral work and example played a very important role in stimulating and directing her educational projects. Finally, the article shows that Eleonora Ramirez's educational project was a reaction to the devastating social effects of the plague, which tragically affected the weaker social strata and women in particular.

This paper aims to analyze the phenomenon of the virgines subintroductae, using different sources from ancient Christian literature. Virgines subintroductae were young girls who cohabited with male ascetics or members of the clergy as "spiritual wives". This practice was widespread, despite being criticized by many Christian authors and repeatedly condemned in councils. The paper focuses on the Pseudo-Clementine epistles Ad Virgines, in which the problem of cohabitation is particularly developed. Even though the work has been transmitted as two letters on virginity attributed to Clement of Rome, it is actually a single long sermon written around the third century by an unknown author, who is concerned about the spread of the practice of cohabitation in his community. The theme of subintroductae is particularly important to understand the historical and cultural context in which Ad Virgines were written. In addition to this anonymous work, passages from Tertullian, Hermas, Jerome and other ancient authors are considered, as well as the canons of the synods of Ancyra, Nicaea and Mar Isaac on the theme of subintroductae.

The paper aims to study how the repression of astrology occurred in southern Tuscany following the condemnation expressed in the bull Coeli et terrae, issued by the pope Sixtus V on January 5, 1586. The Sistine bull imposed the requisition of all books of astrology and related disciplines, both in print and in manuscripts, as well as the revocation of all concessions in force until then. The documents preserved in the archive of the Sienese court of the Holy Office clearly show how the new directives led not only to the confiscation of entire libraries, but also to a general increase of the fight against divination practices, which were then still particularly widespread in different social and cultural spheres but sometimes communicating. An overall look at the trials, however, also shows that the repressive action was more incisive in the eighties of the sixteenth century and then weakened considerably in the following period until the complete cessation of the accusations.

The paper deals with the relationship of collaboration between the diocese of Padua and the local University during the long episcopate of Girolamo Bortignon (1949-1982). Bortignon integrated university elements into his pastoral action, promoting the involvement of academics in the formation of the clergy and in the birth of the journal «Studia Patavina» and supporting the foundation of CUAMM (Collegio universitario aspiranti medici missionari). During the council period, the bishop supported the historical studies and, with the participation of university professors, launched the Istituto per la storia ecclesiastica padovana. He was attentive to the needs of the students, founding accommodation facilities and, at the end of the Sixties, opening places of aggregation not controlled by the Azione cattolica where university students could confront each other. The article closes briefly dealing with the attitude held by the Church of Padua when the terrorist violence involved and hit the city and the university. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with the Apocalypse of Saint John the Theologian, a Byzantine apocalypse that can be dated in the early 8th century. Its narrative structure, due to the presence of formal elements and contents belonging to different literary genres, witnesses to the transformation processes of the literary genre of the apocalypses. The present contribution is therefore proposed as a "case study" for a better understanding of such processes. This work was certainly conceived by its author as a hypertext of the canonical Apocalypse of John. It describes the events of the end of the world, using both narrative elements typical of the literary tradition of Jewish and Christian apocalypses and eschatological topics distinctive of Byzantine apocalypses. The revelation is here framed into a pattern of questions asked by the apostle John and answers given by Christ's heavenly voice: this fits the literary genre erotapokriseis then used in several fields of knowledge. The author of this apocalypse clearly knows some Byzantine collections of erotapokriseis and draws on them for material concerning mainly the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment.

The paper, written for a doctoraral course of Modern History, meant to outline a survey of the diffusion and development of Reformation and its theological and ecclesiological ideas in Poland, Lithuania and Moscovia, The are many interesting and distinguishing features: the pacific co-existence of the different reformed voices: Luther in german-speaking countries; Zwingli, Calvin, and the most revolutionary tendences in Poland and Lithuania; the close links between the Reformation and the cultural development of the countries (literature, schools, universities, publishing, book circulation); the fundamental tolerance preserved from Sigismond i and Sigismond ii. The interest for the Reformation was quite unlike in Muscovy. Ivan iv assured freedom of conscience to the alien residentes but they were forbidden to have any relations with his subjects. In Poland and in Lithuania the Reformation was really a multiform, rich, conflicting event. The Counter-Reformation was successfull to crush churches, movements, communities, but not to destroy at all the cultural and religious heritage of the Reformation. We have tried to stress only two examples: the wide circulation of the reformed catechism and the idea of the Pope-Antichrist. The Reformers' catechism (those of Luther, Calvin, Brenz, Melanthon, until that of Rakow), and their Hymnaries were translated, revised, spreaded and in use until the whole of the xviith Century; the Budny's Katichizis [...] dlja prostych ljudej jazyka russkogo survived not only in Poland and Lithuania but especially in Muscovy. The idea of Pope-Antichrist reached Moscow trough the ruthenian revisitation and there grew steady in a peculiar, orthodox fashion until the xxth Century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the evolution of the political cult of Saint Francis from the post-WWII period to the 1980s, by focusing on the Sacred Convent of Assisi, in particular on the national celebrations of October 4 and the magazine «San Francesco patrono d’Italia». My investigation points out the dialectics between the national Catholic use and the pacifist reading of the saint. In the age of Pius xii, the cult remained marked by a clerical fascist legacy and manifested the objective of a Christian democracy with hierocratic and anti-communist boundaries. Then, the Council aggiornamento launched a reorientation towards the brotherhood of the peoples and ecumenical dialogue, making Francis a global pop icon. But it was necessary to wait for the Second Cold War climate and the end of the season of terrorism for the friars of the Sacred Convent to approach pacifist activism. That did not exclude again putting forward the Italianness of the Poverello, in order to reassert the country’s Christian roots and the church’s conditioning of the political agenda.

This paper explores those fading trends in the Western artistic tradition concerned with the representation of the Holy Face of Christ. While the theme of the Holy Face inspired prominent artists throughout the seventeenth century, in the following century it came to suffer from considerable neglect, as if artistic practice itself had chosen to shield the viewer's gaze from an unsettling encounter with Christ's own scrutinizing, suffering eyes. The avoidance of the theme remained constant throughout the xix century, and the specific theme of the Holy Face was absorbed in the more general iconography of the pieta, with the notable exception of the work of Odilon Redon. The rise of abstract art in the xx century and the general trend towards the elision of a represented subject's facial distinctiveness (as in the works of Giacometti, Baselitz and Rainer) did not however prevent the emergence of an "obsessive exaltation" of the Face of Christ in the works of Hawlensky and Rouault. The author in particular looks at the later works of the Foundation Paul vi of Concesio (in Lombardy), to explore how a peculiar interest for the Holy Face of Christ was reawakened later in the century, as the theme was liberated from its connotations of suffering, relating acheiropoietic mythologies and the more general symbolic indexing of Christ's sovereignty. The author also follows the development of the theme amongst French artists such as Damon, Arcabas and Houver, and concludes by looking at the case of the monumental Face of Christ unveiled in Strasbourg Cathedral in September 2015.
