Das Zweite Vatikanische Konzil (1959-1965) ist das Weltereignis in der jüngeren Geschichte des Katholizismus, an dem sich bis heute die Geister scheiden. So geht es um nichts weniger als den Wandel von einer Kirche als Gegengesellschaft hin zur Kirche der Weltgesellschaft. Damit ist ein neuer, qualitativer Globalisierungsschub für eine in quantitativer Hinsicht bereits bestehende Weltkirche ausgemacht. In den Konzilsdokumenten wird die innergesellschaftliche Umwelt als primär funktional differenziert wahrgenommen und es kommt dabei vor allem die Globalität der verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Teilbereiche in den Blick. Wenn darüber hinaus noch auf foundation des Menschenrechtsdiskurses neuerdings der conversation mit „allen Menschen guten Willens“ gesucht wird, handelt es sich aus soziologischer Perspektive um eine eindrucksvoll frühe Beschreibung von Weltgesellschaft.

The Order of St Lazarus, which observed the assumption develop into a truth, based institutions throughout Western Europe to supply crucial aid for its hospitaller and army vocations. This e-book explores the real contribution of the English department of the order, which via 1300 controlled a substantial property from its leader preceptory at Burton Lazars in Leicestershire. Time proved the English Lazarites to be either tricky and tenacious, if now not consistently preoccupied with the care of lepers. Following the autumn of Acre in 1291 they persevered a interval of sour inner clash, simply to emerge reformed and reinvigorated within the 15th century. even though those overdue medieval knights have been very varied from their twelfth-century predecessors, a few ideologies lingered on, even though subtly readapted to the necessities of a brand new age, until eventually the order used to be eventually suppressed by way of Henry VIII in 1544. the fashionable refoundation of the order, a charitable establishment, dates from 1962. The publication makes use of either documentary and archaeological facts to supply the 1st ever account of this little-understood crusading order.DAVID MARCOMBE is Director of the Centre for neighborhood historical past, college of Nottingham.
