Book excerpt: Los agitados años finales del papa más influyente de la historia. «Cuando marzo cedió el paso a abril, en la primavera de 2005, y el mundo aguardaba a las puertas del palacio apostólico en Roma sabiendo que el pontificado de Juan Pablo II llegaba a su fin, los cronistas ya lo estaban describiendo como uno de los más influyentes en dos milenios de historia cristiana.» Con estas palabras, George Weigel, autor de renombre internacional, comienza esta anhelada biografía en la que narra los últimos años de la vida del papa y explica la importancia de su legado. Diez años ha tardado en preparar Juan Pablo II. El final y el principio, donde cuenta la dramática batalla que mantuvo el papa con el comunismo y hace un retrato profundo y cercano de un hombre que no sólo dejó una huella indeleble sobre la Iglesia católica, sino que cambió el curso de la Historia. Cuando fue elegido papa en otoño de 1978, apenas se sabía nada del carismático Karol Wojtyla. Pero en muy poco tiempo pondría en marcha una revolución de conciencia en su Polonia natal que desembocaría en el derrumbamiento del comunismo europeo y la caída de la Unión Soviética. Lo que tampoco se sabía era que la KGB, la policía secreta polaca, y la Stasi de la Alemania del Este habían estado librando una peligrosa guerra, durante décadas, contra Wojtyla y el Vaticano. Weigel, que ha tenido acceso ilimitado a los documentos de la era soviética, hace una crónica sin parangón de la lucha de Juan Pablo II contra las fuerzas oscuras del comunismo soviético. Pero no deja de contar, con tremenda pulsión dramática, la vida tumultuosa de éste en sus últimos años, en los que, ya muy enfermo, intentó adaptarse al «nuevo desorden mundial» y se enfrentó a terribles revelaciones sobre la corrupción de la Iglesia católica. El autor no escatima elogios en esta semblanza apasionada de un hombre que vivió su vida como un testigo de la esperanza al servicio de los ideales cristianos a los que se acogió.

Download or read book Francis A Pope for Our Time written by Luis Rosales and published by Humanix Books. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Church has been undoubtedly going through a period of profound crisis. Endless scandals and conspiracies have plagued the Church in recent years, and with resignation of Pope Benedict XVI in February 2013, the Catholic community was left in dire need of direction and spiritual renewal. Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio, elected to Saint Peter’s Throne on March 13, 2013, in one of the briefest conclaves in history, represents a rekindled sense of hope for the Church’s 1.2 billion followers. The first Jesuit to occupy the papacy, Pope Francis I is also the first pope ever to hail from the Americas, and has inspired an enormous sense of pride, especially among Latin Americans and his native Argentina. Francis: A Pope for Our Time, The Definitive Biography incisively chronicles Pope Francis’ ancestry, youth, call to faith, humble beginnings with the Society of Jesus, and rise through Argentina’s ecclesiastical ranks, all the way to the Vatican. The book emphasizes His Holiness’ Jesuit background of humility, poverty, and service that stands to reform the Vatican’s long history of lavish excess and removed otherworldly style of leadership. This concise biography also details Jorge Bergoglio’s coming of age during the Peronist years, the challenges he faced throughout Argentina’s brutal military dictatorship, as well as his political stance against the progressive policies of the Kirchners. Known as the “Black Pope” (for his Jesuit garb), the “Pope of the Poor,” and the “Third World Pope,” such monikers exemplify Pope Francis’ original and primary mandate: his pastoral commitment to society’s most underprivileged and disenfranchised. His dedication to interreligious dialogue, accessibility to his community, and rejection of pomp in favor of simplicity promises to bring real-world leadership to a modern Church desperate to emerge from old-world precepts.

Download or read book El enigma Wojtyla written by José María Zavala and published by Ediciones Martínez Roca. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un retrato desconocido de Juan Pablo II. Mientras rodaba su tercera película, Wojtyla. La investigación, José María Zavala tuvo acceso a información privilegiada: los archivos secretos comunistas de Polonia, según los cuales Juan Pablo II fue sometido a estrecha vigilancia y escuchas telefónicas desde 1946 e incluso durante su pontificado. La reconstrucción de ese periodo tan controvertido de Europa a través de la vida del joven Karol Wojtyla se complementa con la documentación inédita que aporta el autor sobre la participación del KGB soviético en el atentado del 13 de mayo de 1981 a manos del turco Alí Agca. Así mismo, en el centenario del nacimiento de Juan Pablo II, José María Zavala descubre el desconocido plan para envenenar al Romano Pontífice, sobre el cual informaron en su día los servicios secretos británicos a la cúpula del Vaticano. Ofrece además testimonios inéditos de curaciones y conversiones por intercesión del Papa canonizado por Francisco hace seis años, junto con entrevistas al cardenal Stanislaw Dziwisz, su secretario personal durante casi cuarenta años, o el postulador de su causa de canonización, Slawomir Oder. El libro clave para entender la monumental figura de uno de los Papas más importantes de la santa iglesia católica.

Book excerpt: Volumes have been written about the role the Religious Right played in achieving its ultimate goal - the presidency of George W. Bush. But few know the primary and essential role played by Catholics in instituting and directing the Religious Right as the means for the neoconservative takeover of the U.S. government, a group the author calls neo-Catholics. The first neoconservatives - Irving Kristol, Allan Bloom, and Francis Fukuyama - were proponents of the philosopher Leo Strauss who considered the ideal state as one ruled by an intellectual elite with religion used to mollify and intimidate the masses into obedience. Not only did Catholic leaders have a millennium of experience in propping up monarchs and dictators, but also Catholics were the largest denomination in the U. S. Neoconservative Catholics were ready, willing and able to implement the American brand of church/state unification: Christian Nationalism. This book examines how hawks and neo-conservatives in the Republican Party forged a nexus with powerful right wing Catholics that would change the face of American Catholicism, the structuring of social policy in the United States, and the American agenda in the world. At the start of the 1980s, the Church’s social justice agenda had been committed to alleviating poverty, to demilitarization, to affirmative action,and to ending capital punishment-an agenda antipathetic to the Republican platform. By the end of the nineties, its justice agenda was marginalized, and political action was mobilized around concern for the dying and the unborn. Clermont's rigorous and extensively documented research examines how it was done.
