The History
of INSTAURARE The
journal INSTAURARE omnia in Christo was founded
in Udine (Italy) in 1972. It has since been regularly published. In 2011, it
enters into its 41st year of existence. It
was founded by a group pf Catholics, both priests and laymen, which got
together in Udine in 1971. The constitution of the group was motivated by the
fact that a member of the Christian Democratic Party and former adherent of
Catholic Action had signed a law, which permitted divorce. His name was
Emilio Colombo, and at the time he was also the ad interim minister of Grace
and Justice. The group intended to ÒreactÓ not only to the law, which had
been signed in December 1970, but also (and more fundamentally) to the
ÒnaturalisticÓ premises of the Italian legal system, in particular the
leading principles of the Constitution. More generally, they intended to
react to the deep orientations of late 1900s hegemonic culture. The group,
which was initially named Adveniat Regnum Catholic Movement, was joint
by ÒFriendsÓ from other parts of Italy, and from abroad. The
first editor of the journal was Alfonso Marchi, a lawyer from Pordenone
(Italy). From his death, in 1993, Danilo Castellano, professor at the
University of Udine, edits the journal. The
first scientific board of INSTAURARE
was constituted by: Prof. Rev. Dario Composta (Pontifical Urbanian
University, Rome), Prof. Fr. Cornelio Fabro (University of Perugia), Prof.
Pietro Giuseppe Grasso (University of Pavia), Prof. Francesco Saverio
Pericoli Ridolfini (University of Rome, Tor Vergata), Prof. Paolo Zolli
(University of Venice). Subsequently
(following the death of three members of the first board) it was integrated
and internationalized. Now it is composed by: Prof. Miguel Ayuso (Comillas
University, Madrid, Spain), Prof. Pietro Giuseppe Grasso (University of
Pavia, Italy), Prof. Felix A. Lamas (Catholic University of Buenos Aires,
Argentina), Prof. Francesco Saverio Pericoli Ridolfini (emeritus at the
University of Rome, Tor Vergata, Italy), Prof. Wolfgang Waldstein (former
chancellor of the University of Salzburg, Austria, and emeritus at the
Lateran Pontifical University, Italy). Last
