Catholicism and American Freedom: A History by John T. McGreevy Pdf

"A brilliant book, which brings historical analysis of religion in American culture to a new level of insight and importance." —New York Times Book Review Catholicism and American Freedom is a groundbreaking historical account of the tensions (and occasional alliances) between Catholic and American understandings of a healthy society and the individual person, including dramatic conflicts over issues such as slavery, public education, economic reform, the movies, contraception, and abortion. Putting scandals in the Church and the media's response in a much larger context, this stimulating history is a model of nuanced scholarship and provocative reading.

Freedom from the Roman Catholic Church by Michael Jenison Pdf

While growing up influenced by the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, Michael Jenison took the contents of the Bible to heart, and believed he would be punished for lust and sex. Inspired by the wisdom gathered from his global pilgrimages in search of answers and a spiritual overhaul, Jenison shares a detailed exploration of the Catholic Church’s teachings regarding sexuality. He removes the guilt surrounding premarital sex, masturbation, and lust; and identifies a greater connection to God through polytheism rather than Christianity. While exposing the lies in the edited Bible and within long-held Catholic traditions, he discusses how mistranslations and prejudice have led Catholics and Christians to blur sexuality with immorality. He reveals what God really said about sex, and invites believers to escape the shame regarding sex, embrace physical needs and desires, and ultimately gain freedom from suffering. Freedom From the Roman Catholic Church shares a detailed exploration of biblical perspectives on sexuality while encouraging others to take their own sacred voyage to the truth.

Grace in Freedom by Karl Rahner Pdf

The theology of Karl Rahner is perhaps more than anything else a theology investigating the ground and modes of man's freedom in God. Here this primary concern of his provides the focus for a series of reflections on all aspects of the present situation Catholics find themselves in. The author well understands the dilemma of the Catholic who feels the Second Vatican Council and events subsequent to it have meant the end of enduring Christianity; he understands as well the feelings of the Catholic who believes the Church is not changing quickly enough into a truly Christian community. He addresses himself to both these extremes and then writes provocatively and concretely about how the two should cooperate in "the transition of an established Church to a Church of the community of faith."

Freedom and Religion in the Nineteenth Century by Richard J. Helmstadter Pdf

The subject of religious liberty in the nineteenth century has been defined by a liberal narrative that has prevailed since Mill and Macaulay to Trevelyan and Commager, to name only a few philosophers and historians who wrote in English. Underlying this narrative is a noble dream--liberty for every person, guaranteed by democratic states that promote social progress though not interfering with those broadly defined areas of life, including religion, that are properly the preserve of free individuals. At the end of the twentieth century, however, it becomes clear that religious liberty requires a more comprehensive, subtle, and complex definition than the liberal tradition affords, one that confronts such questions as gender, ethnicity, and the distinction between individual and corporate liberty. None of the authors in this volume finds the familiar liberal narrative an adequate interpretive context for understanding his particular subject. Some address the liberal tradition directly and propose modified versions; others approach it implicitly. All revise it, and all revise in ways that echo across the chapters. The topics covered are religious liberty in early America (Nathan O. Hatch), science and religious freedom (Frank M. Turner), the conflicting ideas of religious freedom in early Victorian England (J. P. Ellens), the arguments over theological innovation in the England of the 1860’s (R. K. Webb), European Jews and the limits of religious freedom (David C. Itzkowitz), restrictions and controls on the practice of religion in Bismarck’s Germany (Ronald J. Ross), the Catholic Church in nineteenth-century Europe (Raymond Grew), religious liberty in France, 1787-1908 (C. T. McIntyre), clericalism and anticlericalism in Chile, 1820-1920 (Simon Collier), and religion and imperialism in nineteenth-century Britain (Jeffrey Cox).

Triumph by H.W. Crocker III Pdf

For 2,000 years, Catholicism—the largest religion in the world and in the United States—has shaped global history on a scale unequaled by any other institution. But until now, Catholics interested in their faith have been hard-pressed to find an accessible, affirmative, and exciting history of the Church. Triumph is that history. Inside, you'll discover the spectacular story of the Church from Biblical times and the early days of St. Peter—the first pope—to the twilight years of John Paul II. It is a sweeping drama of Roman legions, great crusades, epic battles, toppled empires, heroic saints, and enduring faith. And, there are stormy controversies: Dark Age skullduggery, the Inquistition, the Renaissance popes, the Reformation, the Church's refusal to accept sexual liberation and contemporary allegations like those made in Hitler's Pope and Papal Sin. A brawling, colorful history full of inspiring pageantry and spirited polemic, Triumph will exhilarate, amuse, and infuriate as it extols the glories of Catholic history and the gripping stories of its greatest men and women.

Catholic Power Vs. American Freedom by George La Piana,John M. Swomley Pdf

Vetter (minister at large, emeritus, The First Parish, Cambridge, Mass.) has edited a volume of a group of lectures by La Piana (they appeared in the Shane Quarterly in 1949) that provide a historical background to the development of Catholicism's role in American thought. La Piana (d. 1971, church history, Harvard, U.) was both a Catholic and an outspoken critic of Catholicism's dictates in a democracy and his lectures contain many of his views. The lectures are followed by an extended (100-page) response to La Piana by the peace activist John Swomley (emeritus, Christian social ethics, St. Paul School of Theology).

Catholicism and Religious Freedom by Karl Gabriel,Christian Spieß,Katja Winkler Pdf

Just about fifty years ago, in its declaration on religious freedom at the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church programmatically dispensed with political coercion as a means of enforcing its claim to truth. This act of self-imposed restriction with regard to religious claims to truth is exceptional in the history of religions. It is still extremely difficult to explain even today how such a traditional institution as the Catholic Church could have altered its position so fundamentally. In this volume the authors dispute how the Church came to its position, what the reasons and motives were for its repositioning, what shape this process of change took, and the steps involved in the change: What were the characteristics, circumstances and dynamics of the path of Catholicism to recognizing religious freedom? Mit dem II. Vatikanischen Konzil (1962-1965) änderte die katholische Kirche ihre Haltung zur Religionsfreiheit grundlegend und erkannte von nun an das Menschenrecht auf freie Religionsausübung an. Wie konnte es zu diesem erstaunlichen Lernprozess einer Religionsgemeinschaft kommen, zumal gerade die katholi-sche Kirche durch eine präzise Definition und strikte Konti-nuität ihrer Lehre geprägt ist? Unter welchen Bedingungen und Voraussetzungen kann Religionsgemeinschaften ihre eigene Modernisierung gelingen? Der Band folgt der These, dass eine ganze Reihe unterschiedlicher - innerkirchlicher wie äußerer - Faktoren die Erneuerung der Haltung der Kirche zum Verhältnis von Religion und Politik, von Kirche und Staat ermöglichten. Letztlich handelt es sich um den Verzicht der Kirche auf politische Gewalt, um die Beschränkung auf eine zivilgesellschaftliche Rolle, die exemplarischen Charakter haben könnte für den Gewaltverzicht religiöser Traditionen.

Canon Law as Ministry by James A. Coriden Pdf

"James Coriden offers a vision of canon law in the Catholic Church - seeing it not as an instrument of control but as a guide and guarantee of freedom for believers. In the process he emphatically joins the ongoing debate about the role of church law, a debate that he believes "will have profound implications for the long term," possibly reshaping the law and indeed "the very face of the church." While his message is addressed primarily to professional canonists, it will resonate among all Catholics who care about the way their church functions." "The view of canon law that unfolds in these pages is that of a ministry that upholds the freedom of believers and the good order of the community. This is based on the assumption that "church" is first of all a local community rather than a global structure. The test of effective law depends upon its service to the lived experience of its members in their own cultural, economic and social situations." "The concluding section of this book sets forth "An Urgent Agenda for the Future of the Ministry," particularly in the way church law is revised and amended."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
