Religious life is vitally necessary to the Catholic church today. But it will exist in new and varied forms which speak to the spiritual hungers of different societies, ethnic cultures, and generations. God’s Call Is Everywhere is the first comparative analysis of research in six countries investigating women who have entered vowed religious life in Catholicism in the twenty-first century. The data include survey responses from institute leaders, formation directors, and the women themselves, conducted in the United States, Canada, Australia, and France, along with focus groups and interviews in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and France. Through a careful summary of these studies and compari...
Praedicate Evangelium (Preach the Gospel) is one of the most important legislative acts that Pope Francis has promulgated since his election in 2013. In addition to the full text of this new constitution, this book features world-renowned theologian Massimo Faggioli’s explanation of the significance and limitations of this document. Bringing his unique insight as an Italian church historian, Faggioli explains how the constitution tries to apply, in a way that is different from the reforms of both Paul VI in 1967 and John Paul II in 1988, the ecclesiology of Vatican II to the structure and culture of the Roman Curia. It puts into motion many different aspects of the whole pontificate of Francis, including his desire for more diversity in the college of cardinals, decentralization of papal power, the reform of the economic and financial institutions of the Vatican, and the necessary structure to manage the global clergy abuse crisis in the Catholic Church.
This theological study examines how Pope Francis lives out mercy in his own Petrine ministry and calls for it to be lived out by the people of God. The centerpiece of Pope Francis’s pontificate from the very first days has been his proclamation of the importance of the mercy of God. While facing global problems of climate change, terror, political destabilization, refugees, and dire poverty, the Holy Father has articulated the mission of the Church through mercy, love, and forgiveness to reveal the compassion of God for all and particularly for those most vulnerable existing on the margins of society. In this compelling study, Gill Goulding, CJ, examines for the first time the critical and...
"In Reseeding Religious Life through Global Sisterhood, sisters from around the world reflect on a synodal vision and engage in a contemplative dialogue on the emerging future of religious life"--
Zum Glück gibt es jede Menge nichtklerikaler Priester. Aber es gibt eben auch die anderen. Diejenigen, die mit römischem Kragen oder gar in Soutane herumlaufen, um sich von allen übrigen Getauften abzuheben. Dazu gehören dann auch männerbündische Seilschaften wie das Klerikalmilieu der Kölner 'Nebelbrüder', aber auch entsprechend habitualisierende Ausbildungsformen im Priesterseminar. Ursprünglich bildete Klerikalismus einen Gegenbegriff zur französischen Laizität. Inzwischen bezeichnet er jedoch vor allem einen Habitus "statusbegründeter Selbstherrlichkeit" (Rainer Bucher), der zu den wichtigsten systemischen Missbrauchsgründen gehört: "Klerikalismus meint ein hierarchisch-aut...
The fundamental intuition of this essay is that liturgical theology does not simply deal with Christian rituals, festivals and sacraments, but with the core of faith itself: God, world, the Christ event, tradition, Church, and redemption.

Esta é uma reflexão de um grupo de mulheres de diversos continentes e de diferentes idades que, depois de anos de silêncio, por medo ou por estar sob pressão psicológica, decidiram fazer ouvir a sua voz para ajudar quem ainda não tem coragem de falar. São gritos e sofrimentos calados de religiosas consagradas feridas. O nome do livro diz tudo: véu e silêncio. O véu é cobertura ou couraça para esconder os cabelos, parte sensualizada do corpo feminino. O silêncio é ausência de expressão da fala. Voto de silêncio obsequioso: calar os sentimentos de culpa, ser colocada em posição de submissão, ser oprimida. Silenciar é humilhar, estigmatizar, desonrar e abandonar. Com profunda humanidade, sem sensacionalismo, Salvatore Cernuzio propõe uma alquimia de "diamante bruto" que visa a humanização de atores religiosos situados entre a fragilidade humana e o ideal de santidade.
Als am 11. September 2001 das World Trade Center in New York durch einen Terrorakt zerstört wurde, brach mehr als ein Gebäude zusammen. Neben dem Verlust der vielen Toten war ein System erschüttert worden, die Weltordnung fand sich an einem Nullpunkt wieder. Es ist deshalb auch nicht verwunderlich, dass der Ort 'Ground zero' genannt wurde. Rasch wurde dort mit dem Wiederaufbau des nun neu benannten 'One World Trade Centers' begonnen. Der Versuch, die buchstäbliche Lücke zu schließen, war begleitet von der Suche nach Formen, das Unbegreifliche zu fassen und den Nullpunkt zu bearbeiten. So entstanden etwa Kreuze aus den Trümmern der Stahlträger und Riten, um die Katastrophe zu bewälti...
Synodality envisions a new way of proceeding in the Church: toward a coresponsible and participatory Church for the third millennium. It is an ecclesial model that calls for the recognition of laity as full subjects in the Church.
