This article explores the interplay between culture and Christianity by detailing the history, experience, and impact of the Charismatic Catholic Renewal in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea (PNG). In 1985, the PNG Catholic Bishops' Conference approved the charismatic movement as one of the authentic movements for spiritual renewal of the Catholic Church in PNG. However, the conference stressed this renewal not to be made independent or outside of the Church. In this article I discuss how in Bougainville the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) has been predominantly operating ‘outside’ the institutional Catholic Church, drawing upon both Catholic and cultural logics to mobilise devotees across Bougainville towards renewal and political change. In particular, I will focus on various local Marian movements, elucidating the power and force of the CCR in contexts of Bougainville's civil war (1988–1998). In doing so, this paper will explore what Catholicism and CCR may contribute to discussions about the positioning of culture within Christianity, at the same time showing how charismatic Marian devotion invites reassessment of recent prevailing discussions on cultural ‘continuity’ versus ‘rupture’, as well as doctrinal boundaries held so dearly by the CCR and the Roman Catholic Church in general.

布干维尔的超凡魅力天主教复兴：重新认识玛丽安奉献作为文化和社会政治力量的力量

本文通过详细介绍巴布亚新几内亚布干维尔自治区（PNG）的魅力天主教复兴的历史，经验和影响，探讨文化与基督教之间的相互作用。1985年，巴布亚新几内亚天主教主教大会批准了魅力运动，这是巴布亚新几内亚对天主教会进行精神复兴的真正运动之一。但是，会议强调这种更新不能独立进行，也不能在教会之外进行。在本文中，我将讨论在布干维尔，天主教魅力复兴会（CCR）如何主要在机构天主教会的“外部”开展活动，同时借鉴天主教和文化逻辑，动员布干维尔各地的奉献者进行更新和政治变革。我将特别关注各种当地的玛丽安运动，阐明了在布干维尔内战（1988–1998）的背景下CCR的力量和力量。在这样做的过程中，本文将探讨天主教和CCR可能对基督教中文化定位的讨论做出贡献，同时展示玛丽亚的超凡魅力如何引起对最近关于文化“连续性”与“破裂”的主流讨论的重新评估，例如以及CCR和罗马天主教会如此崇高的教义界限。
