Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação procura narrar, testemunhar e dar a conhecer quem foram os 38
mártires da Albânia, beatificados em 2016, bispos, sacerdotes diocesanos e religiosos, um
sacerdote ortodoxo, um seminarista, uma postulante e três leigos, e a forma do seu martírio
tendo como fonte a obra do Padre Zef Pllumi, Vive somente para contar.
O estudo não se limita aos 38 mártires, mas evoca tantos outros mártires e confessores,
em sentido estrito e alargado, que professaram a sua fé na Albânia sob o regime comunista,
entre os anos 40 a 90 do século XX.
A partir destes “testemunhos” pretendemos recolher as linhas mestras de uma teologia do
martírio para os dias de hoje, em tempos em que se volta a falar de cristianofobia. Partindo do
paradoxo entre uma ideologia que quis “calar” a fé e a parresia dos que teimaram confessar a
fé, faremos da narração a chave de leitura e de reflexão teológica.
Para isso, não podemos deixar de nos situar no contexto histórico em que os factos se
desenrolam, para, num segundo momento, melhor entendermos o significado dos fatos
narrados.
This master dissertation aims to show, testify, and make known who were the 38 martyrs of Albania, beatified in 2016: bishops, diocesan priests and religious, an Orthodox, a seminarian, a postulant and three laic people, and the form of their martyrdom, having as a source the work of Father Zef Pllumi, live only to tell. This study is not only limited on the 38 martyrs but it evokes so many other martyrs and confessors, in the narrow and broad sense of it, whom professed their faith in Albania under the Communist regime between the 40s and 90s of the XX century. From these "testimonies" we intend to collect the main lines of a theology of martyrdom into the present day, in times when again Christianophobia is being discussed. Starting from the paradox of an ideology that sought to "silence" the faith and parresia of those who professed to confess their faith, we will make "narration" the key of reading and theological reflection. In order to do so, we cannot fail to situate ourselves in the historical context in which the facts unfold, so, that at the next moment, we can better understand the meaning of the narrated facts.
