Beyond Biology : Rethinking Parenthood in the Catholic Tradition
A breakthrough in the theology of parenthood, integrating Catholic social thought and social scientific studies of child well-being in order to offer a more diverse and inclusive interpretationThe Catholic Church has a long and diverse history of tolerating various child-rearing arrangements.The dominant Catholic framework for conceptualizing parenthood, however, is highly influenced by concerns over sexual ethics and gender norms.While sexual and reproductive ethics are important, the present consensus that theological consideration of parenthood necessarily hinges on these matters diverts attention from actual parenting practices in their social and cultural contexts.In reality, kinship and caregiving are often negotiated in complex ways. In Beyond Biology, Jacob M. Kohlhaas uses a historical and interdisciplinary theological method that engages both analytically and appreciatively with tradition to sketch a broader Catholic anthropology of parenthood.Kohlhaas’s identification of interpretive options within the Catholic tradition creates room for meaningful, intellectually convincing, and theologically rich responses to challenges facing Catholic parents and families today. By marshaling the diversity of the Christian tradition and exploring contemporary research in the social sciences and humanities, Kohlhaas frames a theological conversation on parenthood as parenthood—considering the needs and well-being of children as well as the potentials and capabilities of adult caregivers.In his discussion, Kohlhaas considers adoption and nonbiological parenthood, fathers as primary caregivers and nurturers, caregiving by siblings and grandparents, and communal parenting and coparenting beyond the spousal pair.In Kohlhaas’s view, conceptions of parenthood should be guided by the meaning of Christian kinship rooted in baptism as well as concern for the actual caregiving capacities of adults and the needs of children.

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.

'Biology or Religion?'
The choice between biology and religion ultimately depends on an individual's personal beliefs and values. Biology offers a scientific understanding of life and the natural world, while religion provides a spiritual and moral framework for understanding existence. Some may find fulfillment in studying the complexities of life through biology, while others may find meaning and purpose through their religious beliefs. Ultimately, both disciplines can coexist and complement each other in providing a holistic understanding of the world.

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.

Can a teacher teach both religion and biology?
A teacher can teach both religion and biology, but it would require a careful and balanced approach. In teaching religion, the teacher would need to present the beliefs and practices of various religions in an objective and respectful manner. When teaching biology, the teacher would need to adhere to the scientific principles and evidence-based curriculum. It would be important for the teacher to create a classroom environment that encourages critical thinking and respectful discussion of different perspectives. Ultimately, it is possible for a teacher to teach both subjects, but it would require sensitivity and skill to navigate the potential conflicts between religious beliefs and scientific understanding.

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.

What is the connection between religion and biology class?
The connection between religion and biology class lies in the study of the origins of life and the diversity of living organisms. In biology class, students learn about the scientific explanations for the development of life on Earth, including evolution and natural selection. This can sometimes conflict with religious beliefs about the creation of life. However, many religious individuals and organizations have found ways to reconcile their faith with the scientific understanding of biology, viewing the study of the natural world as a way to appreciate the complexity and beauty of the divine creation. Ultimately, the connection between religion and biology class highlights the ongoing dialogue between science and faith.
-
Should questions about religion also be addressed in biology class?
Questions about religion should not be addressed in a biology class, as biology is a scientific discipline that focuses on the study of living organisms and their interactions with the environment. Religion is a belief system that is based on faith and spirituality, and it is not within the scope of biology to address religious beliefs. It is important to maintain the separation of science and religion in the classroom in order to respect the diverse beliefs of students and to ensure that scientific principles are taught in an objective and evidence-based manner. If students have questions about religion, they can be addressed in a separate class or in a discussion about philosophy or ethics.
