The paper illustrates the similarities and differences in the strategies applied by the Orthodox Slavs to keep a connection with their basic code of (auto)-identification (i.e. Orthodoxy), as well as with the cultural tradition which was related to it. Particularly, the author focuses on the Serbs of the Habsburg Empire and the Protestant minorities who lived within the Hungarian borders during the 18th century, who were forced to develop some specific cultural strategies in order to offset the unifying tendencies and proselyting policy of the local Catholic Church.

This article describes the activity of a network of Corsican merchants and sailors active in the Western Mediterranean between the sixteenth and the seventeenth century, in particular in Tunis, Marseille, Leghorn and the areas of Corsica under Genoa's rule. Based on early-seventeenth-century factums and memorials, and notary deeds and documents from the archives of the Record's Office of the French Consulate in Tunis, this essay describes how several families of Corsican merchants - some naturalised French in Marseille, some converted to Islam in Tunis - were part of the political and economic elites of the Mediterranean area.

In the past thirty years, the Catholic bishops of the United States have made headlines with their statements on nuclear disarmament and economic justice, their struggles to address sexual abuse by clergy, and their defense of refugees and immigrants. Despite many similarities, the nearly two hundred U.S. bishops are a diverse mix of varying backgrounds and opinions. The last research-based book to study the bishops of the United States came out in 1989, since which time the Church has gone from Pope John Paul II to Benedict XVI to Pope Francis and undergone dramatic shifts.0Catholic Bishops in the United States: Church Leadership in the Third Millennium presents the results of a 2016 survey conducted by the Center of Applied Research for the Apostolate. It reveals the U.S. bishops' individual experiences, their day-to-day activities, their challenges and satisfactions as Church leaders, and their strategies for managing their dioceses and speaking out on public issues. The bishops' leadership has been tested by changes including the movement of Catholics from the Northeast and Midwest to the South and West, the arrival of huge numbers of Catholic immigrants, and the ongoing decline in the number of priests and sisters serving the Catholic community. This book provides a much-needed up-to-date and comprehensive view of who the U.S. bishops of today are, where they are from, and how they are leading the Church in the United States in the era of Pope Francis.

L’ange occupe une grande place dans l’imaginaire humain. Ce sont très souvent des images que l’on retient de l’ange et l’on se figure toujours l’ange comme un être ailé. Or ses ailes révèlent son appartenance au monde spirituel : l’ange est un pur esprit. Pour le connaître, il ne faut donc pas s’attacher à de simples images. Les deux grands théologiens du XIIIe siècle, le franciscain saint Bonaventure et le dominicain saint Thomas d’Aquin sont désignés respectivement par les titres de « Docteur séraphique » et « Docteur angélique » : référence à la Hiérarchie céleste où la place la plus élevée est celle des Séraphins, les plus proches du monde divin, tandis que les Anges occupent la place la plus proche du monde humain. Ceci montre l’importance du monde des anges dans la théologie de ce temps, mais aussi dans tout le christianisme. Saint Bonaventure montre comment la Hiérarchie angélique reçoit la lumière divine, la transmet, de chœur en chœur, jusqu’à la Hiérarchie ecclésiastique, reflet terrestre de ce monde spirituel. Mais survient immédiatement un mouvement ascendant où l’homme est guidé par les Anges vers un retour à Dieu qui est le but de la théologie bonaventurienne, la finalité même de la foi. --
