Download or read book The Pope s Body written by Agostino Paravicini-Bagliani and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2000-07 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to the role traditionally fulfilled by secular rulers, the pope has been perceived as an individual person existing in a body subject to decay and death, yet at the same time a corporeal representation of Christ and the Church, eternity and salvation. Using an array of evidence from the eleventh through the fifteenth centuries, Agostino Paravicini- Bagliani addresses this paradox. He studies the rituals, metaphors, and images of the pope's body as they developed over time and shows how they resulted in the expectation that the pope's body be simultaneously physical and metaphorical. Also included is a particular emphasis on the thirteenth century when, during the pontificate of Boniface VIII (1294-1303), the papal court became the focus of medicine and the natural sciences as physicians devised ways to protect the pope's health and prolong his life. Masterfully translated from the Italian, this engaging history of the pope's body provides a new perspective for readers to understand the papacy, both historically and in our own time.

Download or read book Religion and the Political Imagination written by Ira Katznelson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of secularisation became a virtually unchallenged truth of twentieth-century social science. First sketched out by Enlightenment philosophers, then transformed into an irreversible global process by nineteenth-century thinkers, the theory was given substance by the precipitate drop in religious practice across Western Europe in the 1960s. However, the re-emergence of acute conflicts at the interface between religion and politics has confounded such assumptions. It is clear that these ideas must be rethought. Yet, as this distinguished, international team of scholars reveal, not everything contained in the idea of secularisation was false. Analyses of developments since 1500 reveal a wide spectrum of historical processes: partial secularisation in some spheres has been accompanied by sacralisation in others. Utilising new approaches derived from history, philosophy, politics and anthropology, the essays collected in Religion and the Political Imagination offer new ways of thinking about the urgency of religious issues in the contemporary world.
Download or read book Nations under God written by Anna M. Grzymała-Busse and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why churches in some democratic nations wield enormous political power while churches in other democracies don't In some religious countries, churches have drafted constitutions, restricted abortion, and controlled education. In others, church influence on public policy is far weaker. Why? Nations under God argues that where religious and national identities have historically fused, churches gain enormous moral authority—and covert institutional access. These powerful churches then shape policy in backrooms and secret meetings instead of through open democratic channels such as political parties or the ballot box. Through an in-depth historical analysis of six Christian democracies that share similar religious profiles yet differ in their policy outcomes—Ireland and Italy, Poland and Croatia, and the United States and Canada—Anna Grzymała-Busse examines how churches influenced education, abortion, divorce, stem cell research, and same-sex marriage. She argues that churches gain the greatest political advantage when they appear to be above politics. Because institutional access is covert, they retain their moral authority and their reputation as defenders of the national interest and the common good. Nations under God shows how powerful church officials in Ireland, Canada, and Poland have directly written legislation, vetoed policies, and vetted high-ranking officials. It demonstrates that religiosity itself is not enough for churches to influence politics—churches in Italy and Croatia, for example, are not as influential as we might think—and that churches allied to political parties, such as in the United States, have less influence than their notoriety suggests.

Download or read book Pour une liturgie cr ative written by Louis-Michel Renier and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1996-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De premier abord, la liturgie chrétienne a toutes les apparences de la répétition : mêmes gestes, même paroles réitérées au fil des jours, des ans, des siècles... Or, quand l'assemblée chrétienne se réunit, c'est pour faire mémoire du peuple de Dieu, créer un avenir. Mais comment savoir quelle expression liturgique est respectueuse de la tradition, lorsqu'elle s'essaie à l'invention ? Est-il possible de modifier certaines paroles - ou certains gestes - lors d'une messe, d'un baptême, d'un mariage ? De quel droit ? Pourquoi ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles répond cet ouvrage. Théologien, doté d'une longue expérience pastorale, l'auteur constate d'abord qu'une centralisation et une programmation excessives ont souvent étouffé la créativité liturgique. Même si l'invention fut toujours possible, le Concile Vatican Il a redonné du souffle à l'innovation dans ce domaine. Ce livre sera particulièrement utile aux Chrétiens - de plus en plus nombreux - qui préparent et participent activement à la liturgie : ils découvriront qu'elle est à la fois un héritage à recevoir, et une provocation à créer du neuf, pour faire exister autrement la sagesse de l'ancien. Louis-Michel Renier, professeur à la faculté de théologie d'Angers, fut successivement, durant vingt-cinq ans, responsable des services de catéchèse et de pastorale sacramentelle et liturgique de son diocèse.

Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage se présente à juste titre comme un " Manuel de pastorale liturgique ". Cela signifie qu'il est destiné à ceux qui " célèbrent " la liturgie en y cherchant une " nourriture de foi ". Dans la manière de traiter les sujets, ne sont jamais séparés ces deux aspects : - la connaissance des rites chrétiens, leur origine biblique et leur signification évangélique, leur charge théologique et spirituelle, leurs variations culturelles jusqu'aux formes rénovées par le Concile de Vatican II, - les assemblées locales concrètes, petites ou grandes, ordinaires ou festives, composées de fidèles initiés et de catéchumènes, d'enfants, de jeunes, d'adultes et de personnes âgées, d'autochtones et d'étrangers, qui doivent pouvoir participer de tout leur être et avec profit aux célébrations selon leur culture propre et, le plus souvent aujourd'hui, en accédant à une nouvelle culture inspirée de l'Evangile. Les quelques quarante collaborateurs de ce manuel, experts en liturgie, sont tous engagés dans la pastorale tant en France qu'en d'autres pays francophones.
