Don Stanislao. Druga twarz kardynała Dziwisza
Historia w ebooku „Don Stanislao. Druga twarz kardynała Dziwisza" Kardynał Dziwisz od samego początku pontyfikatu Jana Pawła II wiernie służył polskiemu papieżowi. Zapewne chciałby, byśmy tak go zapamiętali. Ale czy powinniśmy? I czy powinniśmy mu ufać? Może kardynał ma drugą twarz? Rozmówcy Marcina Gutowskiego sugerują, że tak. Z ich słów wyłania się obraz kapłana nieczułego na krzywdę ofiar pedofilii, sprzyjającego seksualnym bestiom w sutannach, obraz urzędnika Kościoła przyjmującego grube koperty od duchownych oskarżanych o łamanie prawa, niewahającego się nawet używać krwi (tak, krwi) zmarłego papieża do budowania swojej pozycji, kłamiącego dz...
The Next Pope
"Papal elections are easily the oldest surviving of electoral processes. The current sequestered form, i.e., within a conclave, dates back, uninterrupted, to 1294. The next election will be the seventy-fourth in this sequence. Historical longevity, with its inevitable repertoire of accumulated drama, though entralling, is but just one of the facets that make papal elections so captivating. The dignified pomp as red-clad cardinals solemnly congregate in Rome, the obstinate obfuscation as to who is in the running to be the next pope, and the eagerly awaited color-coded smoke signals [sfumata] are matchless and enduring. Even the urn that serves as the ballot box is a bona fide work of art by a...
The Art of Dying and Living
Earlier generations of Christians studied classic ars moriendi manuals on the art of dying to help them face and embrace morality. They learned from these books something our own generation is in danger of forgetting: that the manner in which one dies very much depends on the manner in which one has lived. The author explores the connection between living and dying well by recounting the stories of seven exemplary people of our time and the particular virtues they embodied.
God's New Man
The dramatic events leading up to the appearance of white smoke over the Vatican and the public declaration from the balcony of St Peters- Habemus Papam- has been the most remarkable yet in the election of any Pontiff.

Now he has died the legacy of this outstanding Pontiff is already the matter of fierce debate.

The final part of this important new book is an in-depth profile of the new P...
Francis
"Francis, rebuild my Church!" That is how St. Francis of Assisi heard the call of Christ. It is also how Jorge Mario Bergoglio, at the age of 76, and a Jesuit, seems to have accepted his election to the papacy with the choice of a name that no other pope has ever chosen. Who is Pope Francis, elected in one of the shortest conclaves in history? Who is the man chosen to be the first pope from the Americas and the first Jesuit pope? How does he see the world and his ministry? How does he understand his call to serve Christ, his Church, and the world? In short, what is the mind and heart of this new pope of a new world--of the Americas and the rest of the world of the 21st Century? In the words,...

Security for the Pope
Security issue has emerged in workshops and seminars as one of the pertinent themes of today. Global security is at stake as terror networks fuel hate and intolerance against the Christian minority. The Roman Catholic Church is subjected to threats by some radical section of Muslims, and fundamentalists from Pentecostal sects. Some Church ministers including popes have been targeted and attacked. Given such a situation; the security of the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church is an urgent theme for reflection in response to the concrete situations facing the Church. Security issue cannot be treated as peripheral theme in contemporary ecclesiology.
