Ueber und aus Reden von zwei syrischen Kirchenvätern über das Leiden Jesu
No full textIn the two articles reprinted here from the Theologische Quartalschrift, nos. 52 (1870) and 53 (1871), Pius Zingerle surveys, in German, two cycles of poems on Jesus’ suffering and death: six poems from Isaac of Antioch and eight from Jacob of Sarug. His aim is to look at how two different Syriac authors expound the same theme, in this case, the events surrounding Jesus’ crucifixion. Zingerle first gives a synopsis of the fourteen poems and then gives selections from them in German with brief commentary. The themes touched on include Jesus’ fulfilling of Old Testament texts, symbolism between Jesus’ actions and other biblical narratives, the Sacraments, the thieves beside Jesus at the crucifixion, virginity, the disciples’ flight at Jesus’ crucifixion, Peter’s denial, Jesus’ time in the grave as the fulfillment of the Old Testament Sabbath and the inauguration of the new creation, and the fact that Jesus really did suffer (against Docetism, etc.). This early survey of these two important Syriac authors remains valuable for its presentation of how Syriac writers interact with and preach Scripture.Reprinted from the Theologische Quartalschrift, nos. 52 (1870) and 53 (1871
Papież Pius XII wobec Szoah. Artykuł sprawozdawczy
No full textCzy Pius XII jest winny lub współwinny zagłady Żydów w czasie II wojny światowej? Odpowiedź Żydów – świadków, którzy przeżyli Shoah, jest jednomyślna: nikomu tyle nie zawdzięczają, ile temu papieżowi. Sztuka teatralna „Namiestnik” z 1963 r. radykalnie zmieniła tę opinię na niekorzyść papieża: został uznany (głównym) winowajcą zagłady. Ekspozycja przygotowana w Muzeum Męczeństwa Yad Vashem w Jerozolimie w 2005 r. sformułowała winę papieża Piusa XII w siedmiu oskarżeniach-zarzutach: 1. zawarł konkordat z Hitlerem; 2. nie ogłosił antyrasistowskiej encykliki przygotowanej przez Piusa XI; 3. nie reagował protestem na relacje o postępującej zagładzie; 4. uchylił się od podpisania deklaracji aliantów w 1942 r. potępiającej eksterminację; 5. nie ochronił Żydów rzymskich; 6. zachowywał neutralność; 7. milczał wobec ludobójstwa. Autor usiłuje wykazać niesłuszność tych zarzutów.Is Pope Pius XII an accomplice or responsible for the extinction of the Jews during the World War II? The answer of the Jews - the witnesses who survived the Shoah are unanimous: they are grateful only to this Pope. The performance called The Deputy changed radically that opinion to the Pope's disadvantage. He is supposed to be the (main) culprit of the extinction. An exposition prepared in 2005 in The Holocaust History Museum in Jerusalem raised seven objections to the Pope Pius XII: 1. He made a concordat with Hitler, 2. He missed publishing the encyclical prepared by his predecessor Pius XI, 3. He didn't protest against the information about the progressive extinction, 4. He didn't sign the allies declaration condemning the extinction from 1942, 5. He didn't protect the Roman Jews; 6. He kept the neutrality, 7. He was silent against the genocide. The author of the article tries to prove that that objections are wrong. War der Papst Pius XII. mitschuldig an der Vernichtung der Juden im Laufe des Zweiten Weltkrieges? Die Antwort der Juden - Zeugen, die die Shoah überlebt haben, ist einstimmig: niemand verdanken sie so viel, wie diesem Papst. Das Theaterstück "Stelvertreter" aus dem Jahre 1963 radikal veränderte diese Sicht zu Ungunsten des Papstes: er sei der (größte) Schuldige an der Vernichtung. Eine 2005 im Museum des Martyriums in Yad Vashem vorbereitete Ausstellung formulierte die Schuld des Papstes Pius XII. in sieben Vorwürfen: 1. Er schloss das Konkordat mit Hitler, 2. Er veröffentlichte nicht eine durch Pius XI. vorbereitete Enzyklika, 3. Er reagierte mit keinem Protest auf die Nachrichten über die forrtschreitende Vernichtung, 4. Er weigerte sich, die 1942 veröffentlichte und die Exterminierung verurteilende Deklaration der Allierten zu unterschreiben, 5. Er beschützte nicht die römischen Juden, 6. Er bewahrte die Neutralität, 7. Er schwieg angesichts des Genocides. Der Autor dieses Artikels versucht, die Grundlosigkeit dieser Vorwürfe zu beweisen.
Prospects of Community Crime Control Initiatives in an Era of Terrorism: Lessons from Lagos State, Nigeria
No full textTerrorism has arguably become one of the foremost security challenges besetting Nigeria today. Not only has the country lost so much interms of human and material resources to several terrorist attacks, the social and political colourations of this phenomenon have become the newest threat to Nigeria’s corporate existence. Although the deployment of the combined team of the armed forces, the police, and allied state security services by government has recorded some successes, it is believed that much more successes would have been recorded if this response took the local people into confidence, especially because in many cases, the insurgents live and operate among these people. Against this backdrop therefore, and drawing from the success stories of the neighbourhood crime control groups in Lagos State, this paper explores the prospects of community crime control initiatives in fighting terrorism. The paper is anchored on the twin theories of community participation and partnership policing, and relies on data generated through indepth interviews and focus group discussions from purposively selected members of identified community crime control groups, Police personnel, community leaders and members across four Local Government Areas of Lagos State. The paper advocates the enlisting of community based crime control groups in the crusade against terrorism because of their closeness to the people and the enormous goodwill they enjoy. This way, the government would make the crusade against terrorism more participatory and inclusive aside engendering a sense of identification with and continuing responsibility for the exercise.

Pius XII. und die Geistlichen im KZ Dachau
No full textThe article publishes—for the first time—a letter written in December 1942 in the Sedelhof, Emmenbrücke, near Lucerne, concerning the incarcerated priests in the Dachau concentration camp. Its author is the German refugee Walter Ferber (1907-1996) and its recipient the Apostolic Nuncio in Switzerland, Filippo Bernardini (1884-1954). Bernardini forwards the letter to the Vatican Secretary of State, Luigi Maglione (1877-1944). Maglione’s reply to Bernardini shows that the Vatican knew about the crimes committed in concentration camps since at least December 1942, and explains the lack of public intervention by Pope Pius XII concerning the incarcerated priests in Dachau and, in part, the Nazi extermination policy in general. Despite this lack of public intervention, Pope Pius XII uses the term “the holocaust” (l'olocausto) already in his Christmas message of December 24, 1942

Human Rights Violations in Counter-Terrorism Efforts: A Qualitative Study of Victims Experiences in Nigeria
No full textAbstract
This study explores the complex nature of human rights violations in the context of countering terrorism in Nigeria. Consequent to the persistent threat of terrorism, especially since the 2009 Boko Haram terrorist\u27 attacks, the Nigerian government has enforced several measures in order to provide national security and save its citizens from terrorist attacks. However, the implementation of these counterterrorism strategies has constituted human rights abuses. This study examined the complicated human rights violations that occurred in the government\u27s counterterrorism framework by utilizing a detailed review of scholarly literature, legislations, media reports, United Nations\u27 provisions, findings from non-governmental human rights organizations, and primary qualitative data analysis. Through semi-structured interviews, victims (N=24) of human rights abuses in the context of counterterrorism were examined to understand their experiences with Nigerian security operatives, based on the theoretical saturation method. Participants were displaced victims of terrorism residing in various Internally Displaced Person\u27s (IDP) camps in Borno state, Nigeria. Findings revealed a pattern of systemic violations ranging from physical, psychological, and sexual to economic exploitations, with torture as the prevalent abuse pattern. By delving into the interdependence of security and human rights concerns, the study emphasizes the importance of developing more balanced approaches that support human rights and security. The findings of this study highlight the need for the Nigerian government and the international community to prioritize counterterrorism strategies that uphold civil liberties and ensure adherence to due process. Future research should explore comparative studies across different geopolitical regions and investigate the perspectives of diverse stakeholders to inform more equitable and effective policy frameworks
