Who is Leo XIV, newly elected #1 US Vicar of Christ on Earth, Augustinian missionary?<\/em><\/h1>\n

By Claudio Resta | VT<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The name chosen by a Pope is not random but an extremely synthetic expression of his pastoral program.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Nomen Omen.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For example, the late Pope Francis had chosen that name to ideally refer to Saint Francis, known as the poor man of Assisi, thus meaning a pauperist program.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What does Leo, the name of the newly elected Pope, mean now?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First of all, I observe that all Popes with this name have been Popes who broke with the past and also with the policies of the previous Pope.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Secondly, it seems important to note that the last pope with this name, Leo XIII: had promulgated the encyclical Rerum Novarum \u201dOf New Things\u201d (implied of our time).<\/span><\/span>\u00a0A social encyclical, the first in history, promulgated on May 15, 1891 by Pope Leo XIII, in an era in which socialist ideology was beginning to confront liberal capitalistic ideology, an encyclical with which for the first time the Catholic Church took a position on social issues and founded the modern Social Doctrine of the Church.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Catholic movement was then divided into various currents regarding the attitude to be taken towards advancing capitalism: those who proposed a rapprochement with the socialist movement to try to mediate in consideration of radical Marxist atheism, were opposed by the convinced supporters of progress, trade and laissez faire, concepts for which they asked for a substantial blessing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The originality of this encyclical Rerum Novarum therefore lies in its mediation: the Pope, placing himself exactly halfway between the parties, warns the working class not to give vent to its anger through ineffective ideas of revolution, envy and hatred towards the rich, and asks the employers to mitigate their attitudes towards employees, who should not be treated like slaves.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The hope is that there will be agreements and collaborations between the social parties on the social question, admitting associations \u201cboth of workers only and mixed workers and employers\u201d for the mutual protection of rights.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

An invitation is even made to Christian workers to form their own companies, rather than join an \u201corganization contrary to the Christian spirit and the public good\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Finally, the encyclical contains a firm condemnation of socialism, the theory of class struggle and Freemasonry, preferring that the social question be addressed and resolved by the combined action of the Church, State, employees and employers.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Protection of the weaker classes \u201cIf, through excessive work or work not suited to sex and age, the health of workers is harmed; in such cases, the force and authority of the laws must be used within due limits.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn protecting the rights of private individuals, special consideration must be given to the weak and the poor. The rich class, strong in itself, has less need of public defense; the miserable masses, lacking their own support, have a special need to find it in the patronage of the State.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Therefore, the State must preferentially direct its care and provisions to workers, who are among the weak and needy.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Having at heart the protection of the rights of women and children, who were often the most exploited workers, the encyclical also proposes to reserve for women tasks that are appropriate to them, also from the moral point of view and of their role in the education of their children.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In this regard, it is impossible not to remember that the newly elected Pope Robert Francis Prevost comes from Chicago, the most \u201dAmerican\u201d of US cities as well as the earliest capital of Fordist capitalism that has been in post-industrial crisis for some time now.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A new contemporary periphery of the world in the heart of the US Empire!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And as such, he will certainly have a particular sensitivity for this crisis of the \u201dAmerican Dream\u201d that led to the election of President Trump.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0MAGA, precisely.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And it is hoped by everyone that a constructive dialogue can be established between the two American leaders of the World.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Then given his multi-ethnic and multicultural origins, Robert Francis Prevost who was born in Chicago, Illinois, on September 14, 1955 to Louis Marius Prevost, of French and Italian origins, and Mildred Mart\u00ednez, of Spanish origins<\/span><\/span>, despite being American, has all the prerequisites to be able to dialogue with South America (where he was on mission for many years) as well as with the Rest of the World.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to English, he speaks Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese fluently, and can read Latin and German.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0With dual\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>citizenship, American and Peruvian, he is the second\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Pope from the American continent and the first in history from the United States of America.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In August 2015 he obtained Peruvian citizenship in addition to having American citizenship where he was born.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then, regarding his missionary activity, as he emphasized in his presentation speech Urbi et Orbi\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>he is an Augustinian Friar and Cardinal.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see now what it means to be an Augustinian Friar.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The emblem of the order<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Order of Saint Augustine (in Latin Ordo Fratrum Sancti Augustini), previously known as the Hermits of Saint Augustine (in Latin Ordo Eremitarum Sancti Augustini; acronym O.E.S.A.) is a male religious institute of pontifical right: the friars of this mendicant order, called Augustinians, historically add the acronym O.S.A. to their name.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/i>Although tradition traces its origins back to Saint Augustine, the order arose in 1244 from the union, promoted by Cardinal Riccardo Annibaldi and sanctioned by Pope Innocent IV, of the fraternities of hermits of Tuscia in a single religious family under the guidance of a general prior and with the rule of Saint Augustine.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
In 1256, other congregations were joined to the Hermits of Saint Augustine.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>In 1968, the general chapter approved the change of the institute\u2019s title from Hermits of Saint Augustine to Order of Saint Augustine.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
With the election of Girolamo Seripando to the office of prior general in 1539, the period of maximum flourishing began for the order.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
The Augustinians, engaging in missions in America, Asia and Africa, also propagated the order in these lands.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
The first community of seven Augustinian missionaries arrived in Mexico from Castile in 1533: they developed to the point of being able to organize a first autonomous province in 1568 and a second in 1602.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
The Augustinians founded their first convent in Lima in 1551 and the communities of Peru were able to constitute themselves into a province in 1575: their college of Sant\u2019Ildefonso in Lima was elevated to the rank of pontifical university in 1608.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
From Peru the hermits spread to Ecuador (in 1579 the province of Quito was established), to Colombia and Venezuela (where in 1601 they constituted the province of New Granada) and to Chile (autonomous province since 1627).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
From Mexico the Augustinians arrived in the Philippines on April 28, 1565: they played a leading role not only in the evangelization of the archipelago, but also in the education and technical training of the natives, in the design of the road network, and in the study and preservation of local languages.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
The Augustinians of the Philippines founded their province, dedicated to the Name of Jesus, in 1575.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
From the Philippines, the Spanish Augustinians attempted to penetrate China as early as 1575, but succeeded only in 1680: their mission lasted until 1800.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
In 1602 they also penetrated Japan, but many were victims of persecution and the last were expelled in 1637.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In 1554, Pope Julius III elected the Augustinian Gaspar C\u00e3o as bishop of S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9, who in 1572 brought with him from Portugal twelve brothers who dedicated themselves to the evangelization of Congo, S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The Augustinians of the Portuguese province also founded convents in Arabia, Zanzibar, Kenya, Iran, Iraq, Georgia, but they all had a short-lived existence; they had greater success in India, where they remained until the suppression of the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>religious orders in Portugal in 1834.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Gregor<\/p>\n

The Augustinian Gregor Johann Mendel OSA ( 20 July 1822\u2013 6 January 1884) was an Austrian biologist, meteorologist, mathematician, Augustinian friar and abbot of St. Thomas\u2019 Abbey in Brno (Br\u00fcnn), Margraviate of Moravia.<\/p>\n

Mendel was born in a German-speaking family in the Silesian part of the Austrian Empire (today\u2019s Czech Republic) and gained posthumous recognition as the founder of the modern science of genetics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though farmers had known for millennia that crossbreeding of animals and plants could favor certain desirable traits, Mendel\u2019s pea plant experiments conducted between 1856 and 1863 established many of the rules of heredity, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance.<\/p>\n

The period that began in 1786, when Emperor Joseph II suppressed most of the convents in the Habsburg countries, was one of the most difficult for the order: numerous Augustinian communities in Europe and Latin America were dispersed and their assets confiscated by the state.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Only the convents in the Philippines and the United States of America were not affected by the suppression movement.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
In 1881, Pope Leo XIII called the Italian Antonio Pacifico Neno, who had worked for a long time in the United States, to govern the order: Neno reopened a novitiate in Italy and launched a large vocations campaign;<\/span><\/span>\u00a0new missions were also started and the provinces were reorganized.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
During the general chapter held in Villanova in 1968, the capitular fathers decided to eliminate the expression \u201ceremitani\u201d from the title of the institute, as it no longer expressed any fundamental character of the order.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The new title was approved by the congregation for religious on February 12, 1969.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Augustinian habit is black and consists of a scapular, cowl and tunic, with a hood and wide sleeves;<\/span><\/span>\u00a0it is cinched at the waist by a leather belt with a buckle.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This style of dress essentially dates back to the origins of the order (13th century), even if small changes have been made over the centuries.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In 1585, however, a legend spread that traced the adoption back to a miraculous episode that had as its protagonist Saint Monica, mother of Augustine: after the death of her husband Patrizio, she turned in prayer to Mary, who appeared to her dressed in a black dress and belt (the one she would wear after the death of her husband Joseph) and guaranteed her protection and consolation to those who imitated her.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This legend arose only when the confraternity of the Cinturati of Bologna was placed under the title and pro<\/span><\/span><\/span>tection of Our Lady of Consolation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first constitutions of the order were ratified and confirmed by the general chapter of the order celebrated in Regensburg in 1290;<\/span><\/span>\u00a0they remained in force until 1551, when they were slightly modified by the prior general Girolamo Seripando.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

New constitutions were prepared in 1925, after the promulgation of the Benedictine Piano Code, and after the Second Vatican Council by the general chapter celebrated in Villanova (Pennsylvania) in 1968-1969.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The supreme power of the order resides in the general chapter, composed of representatives of the friars, which meets every three years.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The general chapter, every six years, elects the prior general, who is the head of the order: the mandate of the priors general was initially three years, then increased to six.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In 1745 the term of office became lifelong, but was increased to six years in 1786.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the government of the order, the prior general is assisted by a council composed of a certain number of assistants elected by the general chapter: each assistant represents an \u201cassistance\u201d, that is, a group of provinces gathered by geographical area.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The order is divided into provinces: the provincial chapters are celebrated every four years and the provincial priors are elected, by letter, by all the friars of the province with active voice.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
