Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «La Chiesa non può essere se stessa senza la donna e il suo ruolo. La donna per la Chiesa è imprescindibile». Papa Francesco con queste parole fotografa bene la realtà: sono le donne che tengono in piedi la Chiesa, attraverso le più varie forme di partecipazione e impegno. Un esempio? I catechisti: in Italia l’80 per cento è femmina. Eppure, che siano religiose impegnate in parrocchia, laiche attive negli oratori o docenti negli istituti teologici, nella pratica delle realtà ecclesiali si scontrano quotidianamente con difficoltà, incomprensioni, disparità di trattamento. Ma loro come reagiscono? Che cosa pensano davvero, magari senza dirlo perché nessuno glielo chiede? Quindici donne attive nella Chiesa qui si confessano, qualche volta con critiche anche sferzanti nei confronti di una certa mentalità clericale, in altri casi offrendo idee utili al cambiamento, sempre con l’intento di valorizzare il meglio di una Chiesa alla cui verità e bellezza tutte tengono senza infingimenti né tornaconti. A loro la parola: ascoltiamole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Da secoli la fortezza silenziosa della Chiesa cattolica è la presenza delle donne: sono loro che principalmente trasmettono la fede alle nuove generazioni e sono sempre loro che con generosità portano a compimento numerosi ministeri ecclesiali. Eppure all’orizzonte appaiono i primi segni di rottura di questa intesa. Protagoniste di un tale cambiamento di rotta sono soprattutto donne che hanno tra i 20 e i 40 anni: vanno di meno a Messa, scelgono di meno il matrimonio religioso, pochissime ancora seguono una vocazione religiosa, e più in generale esprimono una certa diffidenza verso la capacità educativa degli uomini di religione. Prima che sia troppo tardi, è questa l’ora di provare a rinegoziare i termini di una nuova alleanza tra la Chiesa e le donne.

Download or read book Il potere delle donne nella Chiesa written by Adriana Valerio and published by Gius.Laterza & Figli Spa. This book was released on 2016-11-03T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con la proposta di papa Francesco di istituire una commissione di studio sul diaconato femminile, servizio antico ma desueto, si intravede per la prima volta in questo millennio una prospettiva nuova e importantissima che potrebbe aprire all'ingresso delle donne al sacerdozio. Ma quale è stata fino a oggi la presenza della donna nella Chiesa? Quali il ruolo e la missione attribuiti alle donne all'interno dei testi sacri? Quali gli effettivi spazi di potere e di governo consentiti? Adriana Valerio risponde a queste domande in pagine suggestive, dense di storia e di riflessione. Ci presenta le straordinarie figure di donne che si ribellano al potere maschile nell'Antico Testamento; ci mostra la rivoluzione del Vangelo, che intende capovolgere letteralmente tutte le vecchie logiche di dominio; ricostruisce le vicende storiche di figure femminili che hanno esercitato il potere, o nella modalità carismatica dell'esempio di vita o nell'effettiva gestione del governo delle cose di questo mondo: profetesse, sante, badesse, mistiche. Sullo sfondo, una domanda radicale: è giusto che le donne aspirino al potere così come gli uomini l'hanno configurato? O una Chiesa che si ispiri al Vangelo e che riconosca con pari dignità il contributo delle donne e degli uomini non dovrebbe al contrario ridimensionare per tutti l'esercizio del potere riportandolo nei termini del servizio?

Download or read book Negotiating Darwin written by Mariano Artigas and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006-09-22 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “well-researched and insightful study” reveals the secret deliberations that decided the Vatican’s stance on evolution (Catholic Historical Review). Drawing on primary sources made available to scholars only after the archives of the Holy Office were unsealed in 1998, Negotiating Darwin chronicles how the Vatican reacted when six Catholics—five clerics and one layman—tried to integrate evolution and Christianity in the decades following the publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species. As Mariano Artigas, Thomas F. Glick, and Rafael A. Martínez reconstruct these cases, we see who acted and why, how the events unfolded, and how decisions were put into practice. With the long shadow of Galileo’s condemnation hanging over the Church as the Scientific Revolution ushered in new paradigms, the Church found it prudent to avoid publicly and directly condemning Darwinism and thus treated these cases carefully. The authors reveal the ideological and operational stance of the Vatican, providing insight into current debates on evolution and religious belief.

Book excerpt: This book presents a semiotic study of the re-elaboration of Christian narratives and values in a corpus of Italian novels published after the Second Vatican Council (1960s). It tackles the complex set of ideas expressed by Italian writers about the biblical narration of human origins and traditional religious language and ritual, the perceived clash between the immanent and transcendent nature and role of the Church, and the problematic notion of sanctity emerging from contemporary narrative.

Book excerpt: 'This is a remarkable, challenging and bravely original work.' The Guardian Ripped from the world by her husband's paranoia, Desdemona turns in death towards the memory of Barbary, the North African maid who raised her: together, they explore the contours of death, race, war, love and motherhood, in a moving elegy. Audacious with ambition, Desdemona is Toni Morrison's intimate reimagining of the fourth act of Shakespeare's Othello, mixing monologue with Rokia Traore's lyrical songs to re-examine the Bard's presentation of race and female suffering. Part-play, part-concert, part-quest into the afterlife, Desdemona is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Joyce Green MacDonald.
