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.

Does the Vatican or the Catholic Church allow homosexual marriages?
No, the Vatican and the Catholic Church do not allow homosexual marriages. 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.

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.
-
Is there also a head of the Protestant church like the Pope in the Catholic church?
No, there is no single head of the Protestant church like the Pope in the Catholic church. Protestantism is a diverse and decentralized movement with various denominations and independent churches, each with its own leadership structure. While some Protestant denominations may have a central figure or leader, there is no equivalent to the centralized authority of the Pope in the Catholic church.

Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, and Charles Spurgeon were great preachers who communicated the Gospel with clarity and passion. Robert Moffat, Hudson Taylor, and Dwight Moody were stirred by God to be missionaries offering hope in Christ to those who were walking in spiritual darkness.

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.

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.
-
Can a Turkish Catholic become Pope?

Why does the Catholic Church teach that the soul is immortal?
The Catholic Church teaches that the soul is immortal because it believes that human beings are created in the image and likeness of God, and that God has endowed each person with an eternal soul. This belief is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, who spoke of the eternal nature of the soul and the promise of eternal life. The Church also teaches that the soul is immortal because it is a fundamental aspect of the human person, and that it continues to exist even after the death of the body. This belief in the immortality of the soul is central to the Catholic understanding of the afterlife and the hope of being united with God for all eternity.
