Patriot Priests
After serving two and a half years as a stretcher-bearer on the Western Front, Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin wrote that he would “a thousand times rather be throwing grenades or handling a machine gun than be supernumerary as I am now.” Mobilized by military laws dating to 1889 and 1905 that opened the clergy’s ranks to conscription and removed their exemption from combat, Teilhard and his fellow men of the cloth served France in the tens of thousands—and nearly half of them served in combat positions.

God on the Western Front
From 1914 to 1918, religious believers and hopeful skeptics tried to find meaning and purpose behind divinely willed destruction.

As crises da Igreja
A obra "As Crises da Igreja – o que elas nos ensinam" percorre alguns dos acontecimentos que poderiam ter feito a Igreja desaparecer: as crises de crescimento, como no caso do batismo dos primeiros cristãos ou os debates em torno da compreensão da pessoa de Cristo; as crises "internas", quando o papado se torna um joguete do poder ou a Igreja se transforma em uma simples organização; mas também as crises atuais, diante das incertezas do mundo, com a diminuição das vocações e os casos de pedofilia e escândalos. Os autores apresentam um olhar original: uma visão espiritual da Igreja por meio dos acontecimentos que a sacudiram, mas que também a fizeram crescer, concluindo que é sempre necessário enfrentar essas crises e examinar atentamente os fatos, a fim de extrair deles ensinamentos.
