The Crisis of Confidence in the Catholic Church
The Catholic Church in the United States and Europe has seen declining numbers both in regular attendance and in clergy and religious life.Scandals have torn at people's allegiance, and feelings of disappointment, disillusion, and anger have become widespread. Church authorities have seemed reluctant to acknowledge or address these problems and have responded with vexation to those who raise them from the Right or Left. The Crisis of Confidence in the Catholic Church examines the roots of this crisis in light of the nature of the Church community, its institutional structure, and the historical experiences that have brought it to this pass. Raymond Helmick, SJ, traces the problems of the Cat...

Fear Not
One could only dare to presume that this study authored by Father Raymond G. Helmick, S.J. is meant as an intellectual exercise, determined to decipher the meaning of several enigmatic biblical passages. Although he brilliantly accomplishes this exegetic goal, what is more powerful in his brief and yet profound account is the perception of a God who manifests Himself not as a--mysterium tremendum et fascinans--just to use Rudolf Otto?s widely quoted expression from his Das Heilige--but as a Sacrificial God who, emptied Himself, by taking the form of a servant (Philippians 2:5-11), and who has borne our grief and carried our sorrows (Isaiah 53:4), to empower the human being against fear of existential death.? ?Irineu Ion Popa, Archbishop of Craiova and Metropolitan of Oltenia, Member of the Romanian Academy

Formation for Life
From all corners of the world, both inside cities and in the remote countryside, the cry for "just peace" rings out loud and strong. But, as many will note in this book, the cry for just peace isn't enough, for just peace requires active faith, working hands, and willing hearts.Gathered in this volume are essays written from a wide variety of perspectives, religious traditions, nationalities, and ages (from a sixteen-year-old high school student to an eighty-four-year-old senior professor) that seek to offer insight toward answering one question: How are "just peacemaking," faith formation, and discipleship connected within a twenty-first-century context?
