"In Carlo Passaglia on Church and Virgin, Valfredo Maria Rossi traces the significant contribution that Carlo Passaglia (1812-1887) has made to Catholic theology, paying particular attention to his Trinitarian ecclesiology and Mariology. Though highly neglected due to his troubled life, Passaglia is one of the most brilliant theologians of the nineteenth century. Commonly - and yet erroneously - ascribed to the Neo-Scholastic movement, he anticipates and so emerges as a forerunner of several themes which will be developed during the Second Vatican Council. In light of Passaglia's two most relevant theological works (De Ecclesia Christi and De Immaculato Deiparae semper Virginis Conceptu), Rossi convincingly shows the originality of Passaglia's theology, based on a patristic ressourcement highlighting its historical salvific and sacramental dimension"--

The twentieth-century patristics movement that contributed theologically to the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council is generally well known. Less well known, but no less important, is the similarly dynamic return to the ancient ecclesial sources that took place in nineteenth-century theology, which profoundly shaped the Catholic articulation of the relation of faith and reason, the development of doctrine, the Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God, and the nature of the Church. In Engaging the Church Fathers in Nineteenth-Century Catholicism, Joseph Carola, S.J., tracks the theological movement of the Scuola Romana, a contemporaneous, interconnected return to patristic sources pursued by ...
Did the twentieth-century patristic renewal come from nowhere? Was all nineteenth-century theology neo-scholastic? Do theologians’ personal failings invalidate their theologies? These are the questions that guide the contributors to this volume as they reassess the legacy of the so-called Roman School, a nineteenth-century theological network centered in the Jesuit Roman College. Though not entirely uncritical, The Roman College represents a collective effort at sympathetic historical retrieval. It shows how various figures connected to the Roman School—Perrone, Passaglia, Schrader, Franzelin, Newman, Scheeben, and Kleutgen—engaged theologically the problems of their own day and set the stage for later theological renewal.
"Maria vom Siege" – dieser bekannte Marientitel steht im Mittelpunkt der Beiträge, die renommierte Mitglieder der Deutschen Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Mariologie verfasst haben. Wie kann theologisch von Maria als "Siegerin über das Böse" gesprochen werden? Auf welchen biblischen und theologiegeschichtlichen Quellen beruht diese Aussage? Welche historischen Erfahrungen liegen ihr zugrunde? Wie drückt sie sich an den Wallfahrtsorten aus, an denen "Maria vom Siege" verehrt wird, und welche Spiritualität zeigt sich darin – z. B. in Wien, in Guadalupe, in Paris, in Wigratzbad?
The Oxford Handbook of Mary offers an interdisciplinary guide to Marian Studies, including chapters on textual, literary, and media analysis; theology; Church history; art history; studies on devotion in a variety of forms; cultural history; folk tradition; gender analysis; apparitions and apocalypticism. Featuring contributions from a distinguished group of international scholars, the Handbook looks at both Eastern and Western perspectives and attempts to correct imbalance in previous books on Mary towards the West. The volume also considers Mary in Islam and pilgrimages shared by Christian, Muslim, and Jewish adherents. While Mary can be a source of theological disagreement, this authorita...
According to legend, the Virgin appeared one Christmas Eve to an artless young man standing in one of Constantinople's most famous Marian shrines. She offered him a scroll of papyrus with the injunction that he swallow it, and following the Virgin's command, he did so. Immediately his voice turned sweet and gentle as he spontaneously intoned his hymn "The Virgin today gives birth." So was born the career of Romanos the Melodist (ca. 485-560), one of the greatest liturgical poets of Byzantium, author of at least sixty long hymns, or kontakia, that were chanted during the night vigils preceding major feasts and festivals. In The Virgin in Song, Thomas Arentzen explores the characterization of ...
Die kirchenhistorische Studie untersucht die Konflikte innerhalb der deutschen Kirche in der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts, in deren Zentrum der "Rheinische Reformkreis" stand. Dessen Hauptanliegen bestand in einer größeren nationalen Selbstständigkeit der deutschen Kirche gegenüber Rom. Vom Bistum Aachen ausgehend fanden seine Positionen des Kreises in ganz Deutschland Resonanz, infolgedessen es zu gesamtkirchlichen Gefechten um die Erneuerung der Kirche kam. Das Buch arbeitet dieses spannende Kapitel der jüngeren Kirchengeschichte auf. Zugleich bietet es im Anhang bisher unveröffentlichtes Quellenmaterial aus Aachen und Rom.
