Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays are: THE INFLUENCE OF RELIGIOUS HOME TRAINING THE OFFICE AND FUNCTION OF POETRY A WEEK IN ROME THE IRISH DRAMATIC MOVEMENT CATHOLIC JOURNALISTS AND JOURNALISM THE RELATION OF THE CATHOLIC JOURNAL TO CATHOLIC LITERATURE WHAT IS CRITICISM? THE RELATION OF THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL TO CATHOLIC LITERATURE CATHOLIC INTELLECTUAL ACTIVITIES THE CATHOLIC ELEMENT IN ENGLISH POETRY The first essay commences: The Church, the Home and the School these are the trinity that mould our lives, fashion our character and fit us for the knighthood of heaven and the knighthood of earth. Each of this trinity has its great work to do. The Church pours upon the new-born the regenerating waters of baptism and makes it a child of God and heir to the Kingdom of Heaven; the home represented in the father and mother keeps watch over the seedlings of grace implanted at baptism in the garden of the infant heart and nourishes those seedlings, while the school trains will and heart and mind to follow the precepts of truth and hearken to the voice and admonitions of God. Now, the nearest representative of God in regard to the child is the Church, but the Church during the first five years of the child cannot exert her care directly over it, so that the life of grace implanted through baptism must remain without nourishment unless the parents-unless father and mother watching over the seedlings of grace implanted by holy baptism in the heart of the child, foster by piety, precept and prayer the tender buds of faith and love that later will bear beauteous blossoms in the full summertide of the garden of life.

Download or read book Deep Down Things written by Cirincione and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2008-08-28 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep Down Things: Essays on Catholic Culture explores common threads that characterize Catholicism. The contributors look successively at: Catholic culture and everyday life of the parish and of work, at Catholic culture and the imaginative life of poets and fiction writers, and at Catholic culture and postmodern life where individual conscience, skepticism, and relativism challenge Church authority and faith itself. They do so while looking for foundational components that persist and comprise a culture that Catholics recognize regardless of their diverse ethnicity, geographic location, or historical epoch. The authors of this collection have aimed to inspire both Catholics and non-Catholics alike, inside and outside the academic community, to deepen their own knowledge and appreciation of the Christian tradition generally and Catholic culture particularly. The authors hope to encourage sincere and open dialogue about Catholic culture (in the best tradition of Catholic thought) both to further the inquiry after truth and to enhance fruitful reflection upon Catholic culture and its contributions over time and across cultures.
Download or read book Essays of a Catholic written by Hilaire Belloc and published by TAN Books. This book was released on 2003-10-03 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN EYE-OPENING BOOK FROM A BRILLIANT, BELOVED CATHOLIC WRITER! Essays of a Catholic is a book as provocative now as it was when it first appeared in 1931. Hilaire Belloc’s observations about our civilization’s demise are all the more urgent today, because they are proving to be prophetic. We are troubled witnesses to many of the evils he predicted as we watch the working out of the destructive trends and forces that he warned would lead to disaster. What key insight led to Belloc’s keen discernment of the times? He recognized that the Catholic Church has inspired and formed our great Western civilization. As the influence of that mighty institution wanes, then—as society slowly abandons what it has learned from her—the night¬ descends on our way of life as we have known it. In its stead emerges a new paganism, and with it, a new barbarism. In these essays, Belloc sharpens our awareness of the calamitous effects of this waning influence of the Catholic Church in society. There is hope for the future of our civilization—but only if we as a people embrace once more the liberating truth of the Catholic faith. The great Hilaire Belloc was one of the foremost Catholic historians of the past two centuries. His astute analysis of our cultural and social ills culminates in an urgent prophetic call for Western civilization to return to its Catholic roots.

Download or read book Renewal of Catholic Higher Education written by Don Briel and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renewal of Catholic Higher Education: Essays on Catholic Studies in Honor of Don J. Briel celebrates twenty years of the Catholic Studies Program at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the leadership of Don J. Briel, PhD, in founding and guiding the development of the program. It arose from a conference to mark the anniversary at the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota, gathering Catholic Studies professors, alumni and other scholars to note the achievements of Catholic Studies and to reflect on the ways in which it can continue to impact Catholic higher education more broadly. The book opens with a foreword by George Weigel. The first section situates Catholic Studies within current challenges facing the university, and includes chapters from scholars such as Fr. Paul Murray, O.P., Michael Naughton, Jonathan Reyes and Russell Hittinger. The second section expounds the distinct pedagogy employed by Catholic Studies, as described by alumni and those who teach in Catholic Studies programs. It concludes with an afterward by Fr. Wilson Miscamble of the University of Notre Dame. In celebrating the first 20 years of Catholic Studies and the leadership of Don J. Briel, the book provides an excellent opportunity to reflect on the future challenges and opportunities for Catholic higher education. Catholic Studies emerged at a pivotal moment when Catholic universities began drifting from their religious identity and mission, and accepted the overspecialized and compartmentalized approaches of secular universities. Catholic Studies programs have made a significant step toward reuniting the various strands of university life, which began to unravel at this time. If Catholic Studies can fulfill three integrative tasks--reuniting faith and reason, faith and culture, and faith and life--it is poised to make a significant contribution toward the renewal of Catholic higher education. Renewal of Catholic Higher Education provides educators with an important opportunity to reflect on the nature of Catholic education and the steps needed to work towards its renewal.

Download or read book Weaving the American Catholic Tapestry written by Derek C. Hatch and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerned that American Catholic theology has struggled to find its own voice for much of its history, William Portier has spent virtually his entire scholarly career recovering a usable past for Catholics on the U.S. landscape. This work of ressourcement has stood at the intersection of several disciplines and has unlocked the beauty of American Catholic life and thought. These essays, which are offered in honor of Portier's life and work, emerge from his vision for American Catholicism, where Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience are distinct, but interwoven and inextricably linked with one another. As this volume details, such a path is not merely about scholarly endeavors but involves the pursuit of holiness in the "real" world.
Download or read book Power to Become Children of God written by Bryan Gesinger and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: APPROVED by the Diocese of Fresno, CA, and endorsed by Catholic apologist, author and radio host Gary Michuta (author of WHY CATHOLIC BIBLES ARE BIGGER and host of HANDS-ON APOLOGETICS), POWER TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD is the culmination of over 25 years' research and reflection on the Catholic Faith. Author Bryan Gesinger, whose work has appeared in the prestigious NEW OXFORD REVIEW (Berkeley, CA) and whom Gary Michuta interviewed twice on his show, HANDS-ON APOLOGETICS, conducted research for the present work over many years of discussions of Catholicism with individuals and groups of diverse ages, educational backgrounds, theological persuasions and personalities. Consequently, the book covers a wide range of topics of interest to Catholics and non-Catholics alike--such as the history and role of the Bible; the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist and the sacrificial character of the Holy Mass; the Communion of Saints, intercessory prayers, and the veneration of statues and icons of Our Lord and the saints; the doctrine of justification and the interrelation of faith and works versus Protestantism's tragic, novel error of "sola fide" (justification by faith alone); the primacy of St. Peter and the biblical and historical roots of the Papacy; and a sketch of the life and works of a great nineteenth-century convert from Anglicanism to the Catholic Church, John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890), from whose brilliant, profound legacy we, in the 21st century, can so richly benefit. You are invited to consider this labor of faith, hope and love--to share in its fruits of research and reflections upon the graces through which Christ bestows power to become children of God.

Download or read book Jesuit at Large written by George Weigel and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father Paul Mankowski, S.J. (1953–2020), was one of the most brilliant and scintillating Catholic writers of our time. His essays and reviews, collected here for the first time, display a unique wit, a singular breadth of learning, and a penetrating insight into the challenges of Catholic life in the postmodern world. Whether explicating Catholic doctrines like the Immaculate Conception, dissecting contemporary academic life, deploring clerical malfeasance, or celebrating great authors, Father Mankowski''s keen intelligence is always on display, and his energetic prose keeps the pages turning. Whatever his topic, however, Paul Mankowski''s intense Catholic faith shines through his writing, as it did through his life. Jesuit at Large invites its readers to meet a man of great gifts who suffered for his convictions but never lost hope in the renewal of Catholicism, a man whose confidence in the truth of what the Church proposed to the world was never shaken by the failures of the people of the Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the most significant work of the highly esteemed contemporary theologian George Schner, who died in 2000. Gathering together his writing in the areas of theology and the philosophy of religion, it offers a distinct contribution to our understanding of the prospects and perils of undertaking theology in the Christian tradition at the present juncture. Engaging key texts in philosophy of religion from the modern period, recent official Roman Catholic teaching related to the basis and doing of theology, and the work of key representatives of the so-called 'Yale School' of post-liberal theology, the essays collected here represent acute and historically informed judgment upon the problematique of the practice of contemporary theology. Drawing together a substantial body of work of recognized intellectual scope, philosophical rigour and theological richness, this volume provides invaluable insight into key questions regarding theological method, the importance of modern philosophy of religion, the nature of theological discourse and contemporary Catholic theological reflection.
