Partnership experiences in developing the Preparation for Tertiary Learning course in the Teachers in Training programme.
No full textThis article is a collection of three partnership voices: Roselyn Maneipuri, Immaculate Runialo and Noeline Wright. The first two, lecturers in the Arts and Languages Department at the School of Education (SOE), Honiara, Solomon Islands, found themselves working with a New Zealander who was tasked with helping them review and develop new courses for a new cohort of teacher education students. The three had never met before, but within about three weeks had to build a professional relationship, build some contextual understanding, establish what elements the course needed, and develop it in time for Roselyn and Immaculate to teach the first cohort of students (currently teaching in schools but without any teacher education background), who were due to arrive in less than three months' time
Immaculate Sounds
No full textIn Catholic doctrine, the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary is the belief that Mary, the mother of Christ, was exempt from original sin from the moment of her conception, and thereby a co-redeemer alongside her son. Praise for this complicated devotion took place in Europe throughout the medieval period and resounded in the Americas with the founding of the first convent in Mexico City under the Order of the Immaculate Conception in 1540. All other orders of nuns in New Spain branched out from this convent, spreading the Marian devotion throughout the region.
In this book, author Cesar D. Favila argues that the sonification of virginity and the Virgin Mary was fundamental to the promotion of the Immaculate Conception doctrine, and that this was part of a complex network of sonified practices in the lives of New Spanish nuns. These ""immaculate sounds,"" a term Favila uses for the cloistered nuns' idealized vocalizations as well as the expression of doctrinal rhetoric through musical metaphors, echoed the highly regulated realm of the convent and played a pivotal role in mediating between the lives of New Spanish nuns and the expectation that they would save the secular world with their vocalized prayers. In addition to the sonification of discipline, Favila shows that immaculate sounds also enhanced the nuns' engagement with their religious practices and facilitated embodied and spiritual engagement with Catholic doctrines.
Throughout his study, he delves into rarely studied music sources from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century New Spain alongside the rulebooks, devotional literature, and nuns' biographies that regulated convent life and inspired nuns' hymns. In doing so, Favila brings together a narrative of salvation that shines a light on the musical lives of nuns and locates women's agency within a hierarchical society that silenced some women and required others to sing

William of Ware’s Arguments in Defense of Mary’s Immaculate Conception
No full textThe current article aims to shed light on the reasoning used by the 13th century English Franciscan master William of Ware to defend the belief in the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary. To do so, this English theologian begins by dismantling the alleged reasons of those who opposed such belief. He then examines the numerous proofs that, in his opinion, confirm the truth of the thesis under study. As a methodological strategy, the author of this article sets out step by step and in detail the interrelated arguments of William of Ware to rationally support his defense of the immaculate conception thesis. The results of this research highlight the courageous and innovative pro-immaculate stance of William of Ware in the face of the then dominant current of deniers of the belief in the immaculate conception of Mary

The arguments of John Duns Scotus in defence of Mary’s Immaculate Conception
No full textThis article aims to specify the theoretical approaches through which the conspicuous Scottish Franciscan theologian John Duns Scotus (c.1265/66–1308) became the leader of the defenders of the belief in the Virgin Mary’s Immaculate Conception. The article is structured in two parts. The first relates summarily the authors and works that have dealt with Duns Scotus’s doctrine on Mary’s Immaculate Conception to a greater or lesser extent. The second part (much more critical) develops Duns Scotus’s arguments to defend the belief in the Immaculate Conception of Mary. In this sense, the author of the article exposes step by step the argumentative structure of the Scottish theologian, based on the traditional model of medieval Scholasticism, namely: first, he exposes and refutes the arguments and objections of the deniers of Mary’s Immaculate Conception; then he subtly explains his personal arguments with which he supports his fervent defence of the thesis of the Virgin Mary’s Immaculate Conception.Argumenty Jana Dunsa Szkota w obronie Niepokalanego Poczęcia Maryi
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest określenie teoretycznego podejścia, dzięki któremu wybitny szkocki teolog franciszkański Jan Duns Szkot (ok. 1265/66– 1308) stał się głównym obrońcą wiary w Niepokalane Poczęcie Najświętszej Maryi Panny. Artykuł składa się z dwóch części. Pierwsza z nich w skrócie odnosi się do autorów i dzieł, które w większym lub mniejszym stopniu zajmowały się doktryną Dunsa Szkota dotyczącą Niepokalanego Poczęcia Maryi. Druga, znacznie bardziej krytyczna, część rozwija argumenty Dunsa Szkota w obronie wiary w Niepokalane Poczęcie Maryi. W tym kontekście autor artykułu przedstawia krok po kroku strukturę argumentacyjną szkockiego teologa, opartą na tradycyjnym modelu średniowiecznej scholastyki, a mianowicie: najpierw przedstawia i obala argumenty i zastrzeżenia przeciwników Niepokalanego Poczęcia Maryi; następnie subtelnie wyjaśnia swoje osobiste argumenty, którymi wspiera gorącą obronę tezy o Niepokalanym Poczęciu Najświętszej Maryi Panny
The Immaculate Conception of Mary and Divine Mercy
No full textThe purpose of the article is to demonstrate that there is a mutual relationship between the Immaculate Conception of Mary and Divine Mercy. The author asserts that the act of creating Mary free from original sin was God’s act of mercy in the context of her calling to participate in the work of redemption, in keeping her constantly free from personal sins. In addition, Mary’s sanctity is a gift of DivineMercy for sinners who can have recourse to her. God also showed his mercy by giving Mary to people in order to protect them against Satan’s attacks, as Satan never had power over her
