  • Pages : 218 pages

Download or read book Guide for Confessors written by Alphonsus Liguori and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This rich classic passed out of common usage years ago, but here we find it restored for the first time to the benefit of the English reader. St. Alphonsus transformed the landscape of the experience of this Reconciliation, and our confessional experience would be unthinkable without his saintly, intellectual, and pastoral prowess. While the cultural and historical context is amazingly fascinating, it necessitates peeling back those layers to see the glimmering treasure within. For that reason, this edition provides an introductory essay that steps lightly to take note of these difference for a fruitful reception of the saint's genius. May all readers benefit for the greater glory of God.

Book Sin and Confession on the Eve of the Reformation

Download or read book Sin and Confession on the Eve of the Reformation written by Thomas N. Tentler and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although John Calvin often likened sacramental confession to butchery, the Council of Trent declared that for those who approached it worthily, it was made easy by its "great benefits and consolations." Thomas Tentler describes and evaluates the effectiveness of sacramental confession as a functioning institution designed "to cause guilt as well as cure guilt," seeing it in its proper place as a part of the social fabric of the Middle Ages. The author examines the institution of confession in practice as well as in theory, providing an analysis of a practical literature whose authors wanted to explain as clearly as they safely could what confessors and penitents had to believe, do, feel, say, and intend, if sacramental confession were to forgive sins. In so doing he recreates the mentality and experience that the Reformers attacked and the Counter-Reformers defended. Central to his thesis is the contention that Luther, Calvin, and the Fathers of Trent regarded religious institutions as the solution to certain social and psychological problems, and that an awareness of this attitude is important for an assessment of the significance of confession in late medieval and Reformation Europe.

Book Voices of Conscience

    Book Details:
  • Author : Nicole Reinhardt
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2016-09-29
  • ISBN : 0191008702
  • Pages : 448 pages

Download or read book Voices of Conscience written by Nicole Reinhardt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voices of Conscience analyzes how the link between politics and conscience was articulated and shaped throughout the seventeenth century by confessors who acted as counsellors to monarchs. Against the backdrop of the momentous intellectual, theological, and political shifts that marked this period, the study examines comparatively how the ethical challenges of political action were confronted in Spain and France and how questions of conscience became a major argument in the hegemonic struggle between the two competing Catholic powers. As Nicole Reinhardt demonstrates, 'counsel of conscience' was not a peripheral feature of early-modern political culture, but fundamental for the definition of politics and conscience. Tracing the rise and fall of confessors as counsellors reveals the parallel transformation of both, approaching a historical understanding of the modernisation of politics with the idea of an 'individual conscience' at its heart. Placed at the junction of norms and practices, royal confessors, directly or in oblique reflection, shaped the ways in which the royal conscience was identified and scrutinized. By the same token, the royal confessors' expertise and activities remained a source of anxiety and conflict that triggered wide debate on the relationship between State and Church, religion and politics. The notion of 'counsel of conscience', of which this book provides the first in-depth analysis, allows the reader to re-examine and challenge fundamental historical paradigms such as the emergence of 'absolutism', individualisation, and the division of public and private. Putting theological concepts and religious dimensions back into political theory and practice sheds new light, not only on the importance of counselling for early modern statecraft, but also on the reconfiguration of the normative frameworks underlying it.

Book Hearing Confessions

    Book Details:
  • Author : Kenneth N. Ross
  • Publisher : Wipf and Stock Publishers
  • Release : 2014-06-06
  • ISBN : 1725254387
  • Pages : 128 pages

Download or read book Hearing Confessions written by Kenneth N. Ross and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A restatement of the principles and practice of hearing confessions is long overdue. The enlarged role of psychiatry and pastoral counseling, the questioning of the special role of the priesthood, the diminished sense of individual responsibility, and the influence of situation ethics are all factors to be reckoned with, no less than the practical questions of administering the sacrament. This practical guide for confessors was prepared for publication following the author's death by Reginald Cant, Canon of York Minster, and includes a memoir of the author by Gordon Hopkins.
