Catholic Discordance : Neoconservatism vs. the Field Hospital Church of Pope Francis
2022 Catholic Media Association honorable mention Pope Francis2022 Catholic Media Association honorable mention in English translation editionOne element of the church that Pope Francis was elected to lead in 2013 was an ideology that might be called the “American” model of Catholicism—the troubling result of efforts by intellectuals like Michael Novak, George Weigel, and Richard John Neuhaus to remake Catholicism into both a culture war colossus and a prop for ascendant capitalism. After laying the groundwork during the 1980s and armed with a selective and manipulative reading of Pope John Paul II’s 1991 encyclical Centesimus Annus, these neoconservative commentators established themselves as authoritative Catholic voices throughout the 1990s, viewing every question through a liberal-conservative ecclesial-political lens.The movement morphed further after the 9/11 terror attacks into a startling amalgamation of theocratic convictions, which led to the troubling theo-populism we see today. The election of the Latin American pope represented a mortal threat to all of this, and a poisonous backlash was inevitable, bringing us to the brink of a true “American schism.” This is the drama of today’s Catholic Church.In Catholic Discordance: Neoconservatism vs. the Field Hospital Church of Pope Francis, Massimo Borghesi—who masterfully unveiled the pope’s own intellectual development in his The Mind of Pope Francis—analyzes the origins of today’s Catholic neoconservative movement and its clash with the church that Francis understands as a “field hospital” for a fragmented world.

The Quiet Revolution of Pope Francis : A Synodal Catholic Church in Ireland?
Pope Francis wants to bring about a quiet revolution within the Catholic Church.He wants a reformed church in which the `sense of the faithful’, the instinct of baptised men and women, is given a role in the formation and reception of church teaching and governance.The model is one of Jesus conversing with his male and female disciples in Palestine – a walking together of the People of God, a `synodal’ church. Irish Jesuit theologian Gerry O’Hanlon examines this ecclesiological project of Francis and the new roles within it of pope and bishops, theologians, and all the baptised.He considers the Pope's strategy of a changed ecclesial structure that would out-live his own pontificate. Francis advocates a critical openness to contemporary culture, a culture of consultation and open debate, and communal discernment practised at every level of `an entirely synodal church'.O’Hanlon argues that this project offers new hope of a better reading of the `signs of the times’ by the Catholic Church, not least in areas of sexuality of gender. The author applies this analysis to our situation in Ireland and suggests that whatever about the desirable spiritual renewal which a papal visit may inspire, it is to be hoped that the more lasting long-term effects might be the realisation of a synodal Irish Catholic Church.

Pope Francis the Legacy of Vatican 11
Professor Echeverria does a thorough job of drawing from the pre-papal writings of Jorge Mario Bergoglio and the man's current papal writings, talks, and sermons (notably Amoris Laetitia, Laudato Si', The Name of God is Mercy, Veritatis Gaudium, and through Christus Vivit) to discover and document the continuity in thought Francis has with the councils. Echeverria compares Francis's discourse with that of his papal predecessors (John Paul II, Bendict XIV, and Paul VI) in the era since Vatican II. He draws heavily on the documents of Vatican II and the theology of doctrinal development stemming from the First Vatican Council and embraced by Vatican II, e.g. Leo XIII and Pius XI. Not left out is the modern ecumenical movement from both the Reformed (Berkouwer et al) and Catholic (Rahner, Balthassar, Mauritain, Kasper, et al) side. This is Echeverria's second edition, revising (with new insight from Francis's voluminous writings through April of 2019) and expanding (almost twice the size) the best-selling book introduced four years previously.

The Church teaches that marriage is a sacrament between a man and a woman, and that homosexual acts are considered to be sinful. The Church's stance on this issue is based on its interpretation of biblical teachings and natural law. While the Church advocates for the dignity and respect of all individuals, it does not recognize or condone same-sex marriages.

How much power does the Pope have?

He has the power to make decisions on matters of faith and doctrine, and to appoint bishops and cardinals. The Pope also has the ability to issue decrees, canonizations, and excommunications. However, his political and temporal power is limited to the Vatican City, where he serves as the head of state.

If the Catholic Church in Germany were to split, would this so-called German-Catholic Church then elect its own pope?
If the Catholic Church in Germany were to split, it is unlikely that the so-called German-Catholic Church would elect its own pope. The election of a pope is a process that involves the entire Catholic Church, not just a specific region or country. The authority to elect a pope lies with the College of Cardinals, who are chosen from all over the world, not just from one particular country or region. Therefore, even if a split were to occur, the German-Catholic Church would not have the authority to elect its own pope.

Church Going Gone : a biography of religion, doubt, and faith
In this colourful memoir, from 1950’s childhood to the COVID crisis, Brian Mountford describes his life as a priest, which has spanned a period of immense social change and seen the secularisation of Britain to the point where 52% of the population say they have ‘no religion’.Opening with a vibrant account of London in the Sixties, he moves to Cambridge college life in the Seventies, Suburbia in the Eighties, and thirty years as Vicar of the ‘most visited parish church in England’, the University Church, Oxford.Rich in humour and anecdote, he unpacks his liberal theological ideas on the way, addressing questions such as God, the meaning of life, sexual ethics, and the relationship between doubt and faith.A central idea is that the abandonment of organised religion has not eradicated spiritual questioning and, following Philip Larkin’s poem Church Going, from which the book takes its title, people of all ages are forever ‘surprising/A hunger in (themselves) to be more serious.’ Both the story and the essay content will fascinate many, many more people than actually go to church.

Reclaiming American Catholicism : Faith, Politics, and the Future of the Catholic Church
A rich portrait of American Catholicism at a crossroads between crisis and opportunityThe most vocal leaders in the US Catholic hierarchy today embrace a culture-war Catholicism that pits them against the pastoral priorities of Pope Francis and many Catholics in the pews. Reclaiming American Catholicism makes the argument that recalibrating the Church's engagement with politics and public life is vital for both the Church and the country.Gehring illuminates the Church that Pope Francis envisions—"bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets"—through stories of Catholic advocates working on the border, young Catholics who question Church teachings but are active in social justice campaigns, LGBTQ+ Catholics within a Church that does not accept their full humanity, and seminarians who work in the fields with migrants as part of their religious formation. This book offers living examples of the pastoral and prophetic Catholicism driving systemic grassroots reform and renewal.

Faith and Science at Notre Dame : John Zahm, Evolution, and the Catholic Church
The Reverend John Augustine Zahm, CSC, (1851--1921) was a Holy Cross priest, an author, a South American explorer, and a science professor and vice president at the University of Notre Dame, the latter at the age of twenty-five.Through his scientific writings, Zahm argued that Roman Catholicism was fully compatible with an evolutionary view of biological systems.Ultimately Zahm’s ideas were not accepted in his lifetime and he was prohibited from discussing evolution and Catholicism, although he remained an active priest for more than two decades after his censure. In Faith and Science at Notre Dame: John Zahm, Evolution, and the Catholic Church, John Slattery charts the rise and fall of Zahm, examining his ascension to international fame in bridging evolution and Catholicism and shedding new light on his ultimate downfall via censure by the Congregation of the Index of Prohibited Books.Slattery presents previously unknown archival letters and reports that allow Zahm’s censure to be fully understood in the light of broader scientific, theological, and philosophical movements within the Catholic Church and around the world. Faith and Science at Notre Dame weaves together a vast array of threads to tell a compelling new story of the late nineteenth century.The result is a complex and thrilling tale of Neo-Scholasticism, Notre Dame, empirical science, and the simple faith of an Indiana priest.The book, which includes a new translation of the 1864 Syllabus of Errors, will appeal to those interested in Notre Dame and Catholic history, scholars of science and religion, and general readers seeking to understand the relationship between faith and science.

If the Catholic Church in Germany were to split off, would this, let's call it the German-Catholic Church, then choose its own pope?
If the Catholic Church in Germany were to split off and form its own entity, such as the German-Catholic Church, it is unlikely that they would choose their own pope. The selection of the pope is a tradition deeply rooted in the structure of the Catholic Church, and the authority to elect the pope lies with the College of Cardinals, which is made up of cardinals from around the world. Therefore, even if the German-Catholic Church were to separate, they would likely not have the authority to choose their own pope.
