The Inner Life of Priests
The Inner Life of Priests is a landmark exploration of how the categories and practices of psychology are contributing to a new health and vitality in the priesthood. Authors McGlone and Sperry (both nationally-recognized experts on the integration of psychology and spirituality in priestly life), investigate issues and answer questions that concern those invested in the healthy ministry of priests everyone from the people in the pews to those in Church leadership. They include: How has psychology helped us understand both mental and spiritual health of those applying to Catholic seminaries and then serving in priestly ministry? How has it shaped understanding of key issues like affective maturity, cultural competency and even the discipline of celibacy? How has it helped Church leaders better understanding and positively influence clerical culture in seminaries, dioceses, and religious orders? Catholic laity, priests, seminarians, vocation directors, those considering religious and priestly vocations everyone interested in how men serving in this critical ministerial role are identified, formed and supported will welcome this authoritative and positive book.
Toward Healing and Renewal
On February 6, 2012, an international symposium gathered at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome to address the problem of sexual abuse of minors by representatives of the Catholic Church, especially priests. Its purpose was to make an honest examination of conscience and begin the work of healing this wound in the Body of Christ. With love inspired by the Gospel, the participants strove to create the beginnings of a culture in which effective protection of the vulnerable and support for victims can become a reality. Their work is presented here. Book jacket.
The Road to Joy
In The Road to Joy, Kevin McClone invites us to join him in a personal and professional journey exploring eight core psychospiritual pathways that lay the foundation for more joyful living. Inspired by the death of his beloved wife, Grace Chen-McClone, this book seeks to integrate core pathways of psychospiritual transformation. Each chapter explores one pathway in depth, utilizing psychological and spiritual sources, and ends with concrete practical action plans. McClone draws heavily from psychology research and spirituality embedded in various spiritual and mystical traditions including the wisdom rooted in the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Precarious
"I never imagined how much sexual assault on a child could destroy their adult life. I was shocked by the scandal of such crimes, especially when they are perpetrated by men of the Church. That was my view until one day suddenly it came back to me what a priest had done to me during my childhood. I had been locked in denial for almost forty years. Because I had complained and finally spoke, I thought I could heal, but everything fell apart. In the rubble of my history, came a nagging question: how could I have chosen to become a priest?" This is the blub from the French text of Prière, de ne pas abuser, a memoir by Jesuit Patrick C. Goujon about his recovered memory as an adult that he had been abused by a priest as a boy. The book is written in a very poetic French. It was published last year by Éditions du Seuil and has been reviewed very prominently in France, including in Le Monde, Le journal du Dimanche, La Croix, and L'est Republicain"--
Transitioning from an Ethnic to a Multicultural Church
Multicultural churches help us understand God’s will for us to become one in this multicultural world and experience a heavenly gathering in advance. This book, based on case studies of four multicultural churches, provides insights and knowledge regarding minority-dominant multicultural churches in the United States. Many multicultural churches in America are mainly concerned about racial reconciliation between the white and the black. On the other hand, resources concerning minority-dominant multicultural churches are scant. With the special attention on Korean immigrant churches, this book contributes to the body of knowledge regarding minority-dominant multicultural churches. Specifica...
Models of Priestly Formation
The preparation of new priests for ministry currently faces closer scrutiny than at any time since the Reformation, and the importance of effective priestly formation has perhaps never been clearer in the entire history of the Church. In Models of Priestly Formation, some of the world’s leading experts on the topic consider priestly formation since Vatican II, explore current best practices internationally, and imagine what the future of such formation might look like. The book promises to become an essential reference for every person involved in priestly formation and for anyone interested in understanding better how it is carried out and how those who do it think about their task. The eBook edition includes four additional essays.
Menschliche Mobilität, Migration – und die Kirche?
Wie wichtig für die Kirche und ihre Pastoral die Fragen von menschlicher Mobilität und Migration sind, zeigt sich darin, dass Papst Franziskus nicht nur ein "Dikasterium für den Dienst zugunsten der ganzheitlichen Entwicklung des Menschen" errichtet hat, sondern dass er auch dessen Sektion "Flucht und Migration" selbst leitet. Ein gemeinsamer Studientag, ausgerichtet vom "Zentrum für vergleichende Pastoraltheologie (ZvP)" an der Theologischen Fakultät Fribourg und dem "Scalabrini International Migration Institute (SIMI)" in Rom, ging den Herausforderungen dieser Schwerpunktsetzung nach. Dieser Band versammelt die internationalen Zugänge und Einblicke des Studientags zur Bedeutung von menschlicher Mobilität und Migration für die Kirche und ihre Pastoral.

Mémoires des violences sexuelles dans les Églises
Ce recueil souligne que le travail de mémoire des violences sexuelles dans les Eglises est un devoir de justice : - envers les personnes victimes qui le demandent comme signe de la reconnaissance des violences et crimes commis, et du silence et du déni qui leur ont été infligés ; - envers la société dans son ensemble, car par leur défaillance en matière de protection des enfants et des personnes vulnérables, et par leur tolérance de l'impunité, des communautés ecclésiales ont gravement porté atteinte aux contrats sociaux et de confiance qui fondent notre vivre ensemble. Le travail de mémoire est également une responsabilité pour les Eglises qui implique un chemin de repenta...
