【摘要】： 天主教在美国的发展经历了一个漫长的过程,从最初的被敌视到现在的被接受和受到赞赏,这期间有个非常大的转变。这种转变与人们通常所说的“融入”不同,美国天主教与新教社会的关系以“融合”概之显得更贴切,因为在多元的美国社会,并不存在一个融入的对象,而且天主教社会也并没有失去自己的特性,仍然视自己为一个独特的信仰群体。随着时代发展,天主教社会逐渐与美国新教社会进行融合,本文要讨论的就是这种融合。从融合这个概念出发,我们将讨论以下两个问题: 一、天主教与新教社会的融合为什么能够发生?融合的进程又是怎样的? 二、哪些因素在融合过程中发挥了作用?它们又是如何发挥作用的? 为了回答这两个问题,本文将着眼于20世纪上半期,因为这是天主教与新教关系发生变化的转折时期,有许多重大的历史事件可供观察。本文的基本内容是: 第一部分,提出天主教与新教社会的融合问题,从美国天主教社会的形成和发展来探究融合的内涵,并解答这样一个问题:为什么要选择融合? 第二部分,以天主徒个人身份的认同为观察点,考察融合的前提和基础,分析这种前提和基础形成的原因。第三部分,考察天主教社会在经济事务中的反应和活动,以及这种活动的影响,以此来分析其在经济方面与新教社会的融合情况。第四部分,考察天主教社会在重大政治事件中的活动,根据其在某些具体政治事务(如教会学校的地位问题)上的活动来考察天主教社会的政治理念和目的,探究其在政治方面与新教社会的融合情况。第五部分,在讨论天主教与新教社会融合情况的基础上,总结天主教社会的各项举措,分析其原因和影响并得出结论。通过分析,我们最终发现:美国的宗教环境、天主教会领导人的引导、天主教徒自身正确的身份定位和采取恰当的方式等因素,均在整个融合过程中发挥了重要作用;教廷善意对待美国和美国天主教也起了积极影响;社会的多元化、宗教信仰的世俗化和个人化倾向也是这种融合不可缺少的大背景。
[Abstract]:The development of Catholicism in the United States has gone through a long process, from being hostile to being accepted and appreciated now, during which time there has been a great change. This shift is different from what is commonly referred to as "integration". The relationship between Catholicism and Protestantism in the United States is more closely related to "integration," because in a pluralistic American society, there is no object of inclusion. And the Catholic community did not lose its identity and still regarded itself as a unique faith group. With the development of the times, the Catholic society and the Protestant society of the United States gradually merge, this article will discuss this kind of fusion. From the concept of integration, we will discuss the following two questions: first, why can the integration of Catholicism and Protestantism take place? What is the process of integration? Second, what factors play a role in the integration process? How do they work? In order to answer these two questions, this paper will focus on the first half of the 20th century, because this is a turning point in the relationship between Catholicism and Protestantism, and there are many important historical events to be observed. The basic contents of this paper are as follows: in the first part, the integration of Catholicism and Protestantism is put forward, and the connotation of integration is explored from the formation and development of Catholic society in the United States. And answer the question: why choose fusion? The second part, taking the personal identity of God as the observation point, examines the premise and foundation of fusion, and analyzes the reasons for the formation of this premise and foundation. In the third part, the reaction and activities of Catholic society in economic affairs and the influence of such activities are investigated to analyze the integration of the Catholic society and the Protestant society in the economic aspect. The fourth part examines the activities of Catholic society in major political events, and examines the political ideas and purposes of Catholic society according to its activities in certain specific political affairs, such as the status of church schools. Explore its political integration with Protestant society. The fifth part, on the basis of discussing the integration of Catholicism and Protestantism, summarizes the measures of Catholic society, analyzes its causes and influences, and draws a conclusion. Finally, we find that the religious environment of the United States, the guidance of Catholic leaders, the correct identity of Catholics themselves and the adoption of appropriate methods have all played an important role in the whole process of integration; The Holy see's goodwill towards the United States and American Catholicism has also played a positive role; the diversity of society and the secularization and individualization of religious beliefs are also the indispensable background for this integration.
