Book excerpt: Rome Has Spoken is the only book in the World that copiously quotes Christ (God), the Holy Apostles, the Roman Pontiffs, Ecumenical Councils, Church Fathers, Doctors of the Church, Saints, Theologians, Scholars and Historians on "Communicatio in Sacris." The premise of this book is to instruct, educate and clarify what the Roman Catholic Church has always taught in regards to false religious worship with non-Catholics; and, especially, on Praying and Receiving Sacraments at the hands of Schismatics and Heretics-of which, -the Catholic Church has always prohibited and condemned: Communion with Heretics. Moreover, in a time of massive false-Ecumenism and Religious-Indifferentism; Rome Has Spoken is a sure guide on exploring what Saints died for; namely, to refuse at all costs "Communicatio in Sacris" with the Heterodox.

Download or read book God Has Spoken written by Gerald Bray and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 1266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian theology didn’t develop in a vacuum. Understanding the story behind the doctrines that have been debated, defined, and defended throughout history is crucial for truly understanding the doctrines themselves. In this groundbreaking resource, professor Gerald Bray traces the history of Christian theology from the early church to the modern era. Structured to parallel the order in which orthodoxy gradually matured in response to challenges from both within and without the church, this volume tells the story of how Christians have struggled to understand, confess, and worship the triune God through the centuries.
Download or read book 54 Years That Changed the Catholic Church written by Pope Michael and published by Christ the King Library. This book was released on 2011-04-04 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should Catholics think about the New Rite of the Mass in the language of the people? What should we think about the Latin Mass now being granted by Benedict XVI, following in the foot steps of John Paul II? What should we think about the assembly in Assisi, which is justified by the Vatican II? Do Moslems worship the same God as Catholics? In 1958 the Catholic Church had not been plagued with an Antipope for over a half a millennium. And then Pope Pius XII died and Angelo Roncalli took the name and number of the claimants to the papacy from the Western Schism, John XXIII. Like the first John XXIII, this John XXIII also called for a Council. The first John XXIII resigned in favor of the new election at the Council of Constance, which led to the end of the Western Schism. This John XXIII called for a Council in the Vatican that led to the Great Apostasy, as prophesied in Sacred Scripture. Soon the New World Order had a New Mass and New Sacraments to go along with the New Theology of the Second Vatican Council also called Vatican II. Soon the altars in Catholic churches were replaced with tables and the priest became the President of the Assembly on his throne where once the holy altar stood. What were Catholics to do? An Archbishop rose up and called these New Sacramental Rites bastards and Catholics rallied around him, but were soon dismayed when he compromised with the very bastards who had give us these bastard rites. Another Archbishop rose up and declared the John Paul II an Antipope and began arranging to end the vacancy in the Papacy by consecrating Bishops to call for a Papal Election, but this would not come to pass. Catholics soon began to realize that we were in worse times than the catacombs, for at least in the catacombs there was a Pope huddling with the persecuted Catholics. Now Catholics found themselves without priests who would preach the whole truth of the Faith to them. What was the solution? The second Archbishop actually had the solution, but was betrayed by the very men he consecrated to carry it out. The faithful realized that they could lawfully take the matters into their own hands and began the restoration of the Church in our head, so that the members could rally around the Vicar of Jesus Christ and bring an end to the Great Apostasy. All was done in accord with the teachings of the Catholic Church as found in the Councils, Canon Law and even the basic Catechism all had studied from their youth. Soon the Great Apostasy will end and the universal conversion all of the Fathers of the Church predict will happen after the death of Antichrist will occur. This is the period of peace the Blessed Virgin Mary predicted would soon happen. This book is a must read for any Catholic who wants to make sense of the last half a century of events in the Catholic Church. In addition to discussing the many things that have occurred some key little known documents are reproduced in the Appendices.
Download or read book Wolves of Rome written by Krešimir Vuković and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-12-05 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman foundation myth has been the subject of classical scholarship for centuries. But much in the story of Romulus and Remus remains unexplained. This is the first English language book-length study of the Lupercalia, a religious festival central to understanding both the Roman foundation myth and the history of Rome. The festival of the Lupercalia was a male initiation ritual and shares a number of traits with similar rituals across the world. The agonistic elements in the story of Romulus and Remus and the Lupercalia can be compared to a number of Vedic rituals and traced back to a common Indo-European prehistory. The Lupercalia celebration remained a central annual event throughout the history of Rome and reflected political and social life in the city. Caesar used it to stage a refusal of kingship and Augustus restored its initiatory aspect, which continued in the period of the Empire. It survived all attempts of Christian prohibition to appear in the form of a carnival that criticized the pope in the late 5th century. In sum, the book offers a new interpretation of the Roman foundation myth and the Lupercalia. It follows the transformation of a unique ritual from its Indo-European roots through Roman history to late antiquity.

Download or read book Sacred Rights written by Daniel C. Maguire and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-04-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the work of the "Sacred Choices Initiative" of the Religious Consultation on Population, Reproductive Health, and Ethics. The purpose of this Packard and Ford Foundation supported initiative is to attempt to change international discourse on family planning and to rescue this debate from superficial sloganeering by drawing on the moral stores of the world's major and indigenous religions. In many of the world's religions there is a restrictive and pro-natalist view on family planning, and this is one legitimate reading of those religious traditions. As the essays in this volume demonstrate, however, this is not the only legitimate or orthodox view. These authors show that the paramaters of orthodoxy are wider and gentler than that, and that the great religious traditions are wiser and more variegated and nuanced than a simple repetition of the most conservative views would suggest. This theme is carried out in essays on each of the world's major religious traditions, written by scholar practitioners of those faiths.

Download or read book A History of Catholic Moral Theology in the Twentieth Century written by James F. Keenan and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-01-17 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an historical survey of 20th Century Roman Catholic Theological Ethics (also known as moral theology). The thesis is that only through historical investigation can we really understand how the most conservative and negative field in Catholic theology at the beginning of the 20th could become by the end of the 20th century the most innovative one. The 20th century begins with moral manuals being translated into the vernacular. After examining the manuals of Thomas Slater and Henry Davis, Keenan then turns to three works and a crowning synthesis of innovation all developed before, during and soon after the Second World War. The first by Odon Lottin asks whether moral theology is adequately historical; Fritz Tillmann asks whether it's adequately biblical; and Gerard Gilleman, whether it's adequately spiritual. Bernard Haering integrates these contributions into his Law of Christ. Of course, people like Gerald Kelly and John Ford in the US are like a few moralists elsewhere, classical gate keepers, censoring innovation. But with Humanae vitae, and successive encyclicals, bishops and popes reject the direction of moral theologians. At the same time, moral theologians, like Josef Fuchs, ask whether the locus of moral truth is in continuous, universal teachings of the magisterium or in the moral judgment of the informed conscience. In their move toward a deeper appreciation of their field as forming consciences, they turn more deeply to local experience where they continue their work of innovation. Each continent subsequently gives rise to their own respondents: In Europe they speak of autonomy and personalism; in Latin America, liberation theology; in North America, Feminism and Black Catholic theology; and, in Asia and Africa a deep post-colonial interculturatism. At the end I assert that in its nature, theological ethics is historical and innovative, seeking moral truth for the conscience by looking to speak crossculturally.

Download or read book The Black Robe written by Wilkie Collins and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black Robe (1881) is a novel by Wilkie Collins. Written toward the end of Collins’ career, The Black Robe shows brilliant flashes of the author’s trademark sense of mystery and psychological unease, which made him a household name around the world. Recognized as an important Victorian novelist and pioneer of detective fiction, Wilkie Collins was a writer with a gift for thoughtful entertainment, stories written for a popular audience that continue to resonate with scholars and readers today. While visiting northern France to attend the funeral of his aunt, Lewis Romayne, while playing cards, accuses a local gambler of cheating. Offended by the young Englishman, the man challenges Romayne to a duel, but sends his son in his place. Against the odds, Romayne—unaccustomed to fighting—manages to kill the boy, saving his own life. The screams of his younger brother, however, never leave Romayne, not as he returns to Yorkshire a changed man, not for the rest of his life. Back home, he attempts to regain a sense of normalcy, caring for Vange Abbey, the family estate, and making social trips to London. In the city, he meets and falls in love with the beautiful Stella Eyrecourt, whom he marries. Meanwhile, a vindictive priest looking to gain control of the Abbey hatches a plan to convert Romayne to Catholicism and trick him into signing the property over in his will. Wracked with guilt and trusting to a fault, Romayne walks right into his trap. Beyond its sensational plot, The Black Robe is a masterpiece of mystery and social critique for seasoned readers of Victorian fiction and newcomers alike. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Wilkie Collins’ The Black Robe is a classic work of English literature reimagined for modern readers.
Download or read book Between Rome and Rebellion written by Yves Chiron and published by Angelico Press. This book was released on 2024-06-15 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Between Rome and Rebellion, Yves Chiron, acclaimed author of dozens of biographies and historical studies, once again proves himself a master historian. Drawing upon a vast fund of information gathered over the course of three decades, including numerous interviews, correspondence, diaries, and archives, Chiron tells the thrilling, at times gut-wrenching, story of the “loyal resistance” of Catholics—especially in France, but soon all over the world—who held fast to the old forms of worship, catechesis, doctrine, and family life, in the midst of a Church roiling with reforms that they viewed as betrayals. Starting with the Modernist crisis and Pius X’s response to it, we follow in these pages the immense drama of a century filled with battles on every front—political, military, and ecclesiastical. We learn of the vitality, but also the fissiparousness, of traditionalist groups at a time when nearly everything else in the Church seemed to be falling apart, especially after the tumultuous years of the Second Vatican Council. We see the rage directed at traditionalists by an establishment that tolerates any experiment except “the experiment of Tradition” and writes off all adherence to the past as “integrism.” As everyone tries to navigate the turbulent waters of a conciliar “renewal” that quickly turned into a debacle, we become acquainted with modern-day confessors and white martyrs, wild-eyed prophets and sober critics, two-faced churchmen and secret allies. Chiron’s deft pen brings many controversial figures into sharp relief—above all, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, founder of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X, with whose formidable witness everyone, friend or foe, had to reckon. Breathlessly moving from one disaster and rescue operation to the next, Between Rome and Rebellion sheds new light on the modern transformation of the Catholic Church, and why numerous priests, religious, and laity felt compelled to stand against it.
