This book was released on 2022-03-03T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travail, argent, immigration, solidarité, écologie, guerre... Que savons-nous de la Doctrine sociale de l’Église? Percevons-nous l’actualité de son message? Qu’en faisons-nous en pratique ? À partir d’un exposé clair et de larges extraits de textes fondamentaux, ce livre nous montre combien elle s’avère, plus que jamais, d’une totale actualité. C’est une invitation à se positionner et à s’interroger sur des sujets aussi divers que le capitalisme, les institutions internationales, la vie politique. C’est un manuel pour comprendre comment l’Église s’est levée contre des injustices du monde contemporain et continue à le faire. De bout en bout concret et pragmatique, Jacques-Benoît Rauscher nous invite à puiser dans cet héritage des outils renouvelés afin d’agir dans le monde. Une invitation à explorer un aspect trop méconnu de la grande Tradition chrétienne. Un trésor de sagesse active à la veille de grandes échéances électorales. Dominicain, agrégé de sciences économiques et sociales, docteur en sociologie, Jacques-Benoît Rauscher travaille actuellement à l’université de Fribourg où il a enseigné la Doctrine sociale de l’Église et prépare un doctorat en théologie morale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’immigration enflamme et divise les opinions publiques, les partis politiques, les familles de pensée... et même l’Église. L’engagement très affirmé du pape François en faveur d’un accueil généreux des migrants ne fait pas l’unanimité. Ses interpellations répétées contre la « mondialisation de l’indifférence » ont même rencontré chez certains catholiques une fin de non-recevoir. Comment comprendre les tensions suscitées par le discours pontifical au sein de l’Église et, plus largement, dans la société ? Jacques-Benoît Rauscher nous propose ici des clés de compréhension de ce désaccord, décelées à l’intérieur même de la Doctrine sociale de l’Église. Il inscrit le discours des papes sur l’accueil de l’étranger dans la Tradition de l’Église et il en montre l’évolution sur le temps long, en s’appuyant sur une exploration de la figure de l’étranger dans la Bible et dans la théologie chrétienne. Ce livre ne cherche à réduire ni les contestataires à des identitaires ni les militants à des utopistes. Il met en évidence que la Doctrine sociale de l’Église mérite d’être examinée, discutée et enrichie et que, par ce moyen, leur opposition peut être dépassée. D’une brûlante actualité, l’exposé est salutaire. Agrégé de sciences économiques et sociales et docteur en sociologie, Jacques-Benoît Rauscher est dominicain. Il a soutenu en 2024 un doctorat en théologie à l’Université de Fribourg (Suisse). Il enseigne la théologie morale, notamment à l’UCLy (Lyon). Il a publié différents ouvrages, dont L’Église catholique estelle anticapitaliste ? (Presses de Sciences Po, 2019) et Découvrez la Doctrine sociale de l’Église avant d’aller voter (Éd. du Cerf, 2022).

Download or read book Living the Truth written by Klaus Demmer and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is moral theology related to pastoral theology? In this first English translation of Living the Truth, Klaus Demmer answers this question by offering a complete theory of action. Its crucial element is truthfulness, which Demmer claims is a basic attitude that must be translated concretely into our individual decisions. Demmer demonstrates that the demand for truthfulness offers a critical corrective to the usual praxis whereby ethical norms are formulated. This has significant consequences for every area of ethical directives, including questions about celibacy and partnerships. Demmer moves away from the act-centered morality that dominates the neo-Scholastic manuals of moral theology. His concern is to show how our actions embody and carry out a more original anthropological project. Not only does this anthropological project condition our insights into goods and values, it provides the criteria by which our actions are judged morally. This book will be welcomed by all who are looking for ethical norms, and by all whose task it is to formulate such norms.

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 Divagations written by Stphane Mallarm and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a book just the way I don't like them," the father of French Symbolism, Stphane Mallarm, informs the reader in his preface to Divagations: "scattered and with no architecture." On the heels of this caveat, Mallarm's diverting, discursive, and gorgeously disordered 1897 masterpiece tumbles forth--and proves itself to be just the sort of book his readers like most. The salmagundi of prose poems, prose-poetic musings, criticism, and reflections that is Divagations has long been considered a treasure trove by students of aesthetics and modern poetry. If Mallarm captured the tone and very feel of fin-de-sicle Paris, he went on to captivate the minds of the greatest writers of the twentieth century--from Valry and Eliot to Paul de Man and Jacques Derrida. This was the only book of prose he published in his lifetime and, in a new translation by Barbara Johnson, is now available for the first time in English as Mallarm arranged it. The result is an entrancing work through which a notoriously difficult-to-translate voice shines in all of its languor and musicality. Whether contemplating the poetry of Tennyson, the possibilities of language, a masturbating priest, or the transporting power of dance, Mallarm remains a fascinating companion--charming, opinionated, and pedantic by turns. As an expression of the Symbolist movement and as a contribution to literary studies, Divagations is vitally important. But it is also, in Johnson's masterful translation, endlessly mesmerizing.

Download or read book The Calendar in Revolutionary France written by Sanja Perovic and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most unusual decisions of the leaders of the French Revolution - and one that had immense practical as well as symbolic impact - was to abandon customarily-accepted ways of calculating date and time to create a Revolutionary calendar. The experiment lasted from 1793 to 1805, and prompted all sorts of questions about the nature of time, ways of measuring it and its relationship to individual, community, communication and creative life. This study traces the course of the Revolutionary Calendar, from its cultural origins to its decline and fall. Tracing the parallel stories of the calendar and the literary genius of its creator, Sylvain Maréchal, from the Enlightenment to the Napoleonic era, Sanja Perovic reconsiders the status of the French Revolution as the purported 'origin' of modernity, the modern experience of time, and the relationship between the imagination and political action.
Download or read book American Religion written by Mark A. A. Chaves and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most authoritative resource on religious trends in America—now fully updated Most Americans say they believe in God, and more than a third say they attend religious services every week. Yet studies show that people do not really go to church as often as they claim, and it is not always clear what they mean when they tell pollsters they believe in God or pray. American Religion presents the best and most up-to-date information about religious trends in the United States, in a succinct and accessible manner. This sourcebook provides essential information about key developments in American religion since 1972, and is the first major resource of its kind to appear in more than two decades. Mark Chaves looks at trends in diversity, belief, involvement, congregational life, leadership, liberal Protestant decline, and polarization. He draws on two important surveys: the General Social Survey, an ongoing survey of Americans' changing attitudes and behaviors, begun in 1972; and the National Congregations Study, a survey of American religious congregations across the religious spectrum. Chaves finds that American religious life has seen much continuity in recent decades, but also much change. He challenges the popular notion that religion is witnessing a resurgence in the United States—in fact, traditional belief and practice is either stable or declining. Chaves examines why the decline in liberal Protestant denominations has been accompanied by the spread of liberal Protestant attitudes about religious and social tolerance, how confidence in religious institutions has declined more than confidence in secular institutions, and a host of other crucial trends. Now with updated data and a new preface by the author, this revised edition provides essential information about key developments in American religion since 1972, plainly showing that religiosity is declining in America.
Download or read book To See with a Better Eye written by Jacalyn Duffin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: René Théophile Hyacinthe Laennec (1781-1826) is best known for his invention of the stethoscope, one of medicine's most powerful symbols. Histories, novels, and films have cloaked his life in hagiography and legend. Jacalyn Duffin's fascinating new biography relies on a vastly expanded foundation of primary source material, including thousands of pages of handwritten patient records, lecture notes, unpublished essays, and letters. She situates Laennec, the scientist and teacher, within the broader social and intellectual currents of post-Revolutionary France. Her work uncovers a complex character who participated actively in the dramatic changes of his time. Laennec's famous Treatise on Mediate Auscultation was his only published book, but two lesser known works were left in manuscript: an early treatise on pathological anatomy and a later set of lectures on disease. The three parts of Duffin's biography correspond to these books. First, she examines Laennec's student research on the emerging science of pathological anatomy, the background for his major achievement. Second, she uses his clinical records to trace the discovery and development of "mediate auscultation" (listening through an instrument, or mediator, to sounds within the human body). The stethoscope allowed clinicians to "see" the organic alterations inside their living patients' bodies. Finally, she explores the impact of auscultation on diagnostic practice and on concepts of disease. Analyzed here for the first time in their entirety, Laennec's Collége de France lectures reveal his criticism of over-enthusiastic extrapolations of his own method at the expense of the patient's story. Originally published in 1998.
