Book Vivere il matrimonio

Download or read book Vivere il matrimonio written by Luigi Negri and published by Edizioni Ares. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Che cosa descrive ed esprime più tenacemente la vita dell'uomo? È il desiderio di compiersi nell'altro. È l'affezione. La parola matrimonio, che viene sempre meno utilizzata nel linguaggio dell'intellighenzia culturale, sostituita con termini che si vogliono falsamente sinonimi (coppia, convivenza...), evoca l'espressione piena di un'umanità responsabile che è segno di redenzione dentro la storia, anche attraverso gli aspetti materiali della vita: perchè il dover stare insieme è un aspetto materiale, carico di grandezza e di limite. L'affezione reciproca è un sentimento grande, ma al tempo stesso faticoso, come lo è mettere al mondo dei figli ed educarli; come è faticoso far fronte alle necessità economiche del quotidiano, specie alle soglie dell'esperienza coniugale...Ma che cos'è che rende lieve ogni difficoltà e fa del sacramento del matrimonio uno strumento privilegiato e incarnato della salvezza cristiana? Il suo porsi come segno di contraddizione nel contesto del mondo dominato dagli scopi individualisti e intraterreni del potere e del successo, come luogo della fedeltà, della condivisione tra i due, dell'ospitalità e del sacrificio reciproco e verso gli altri. Luogo del riscontro vivo della fede che riconosce e manifesta l'azione salvifica di Cristo nella storia, apportatrice di un destino di amore e felicità eterni, che chiede di essere vissuto e annunciato, con sguardo non alla terra che finisce, ma al cielo che verrà. In definitiva, nella risposta alla vocazione particolare del matrimonio, gli sposi non possono che diventare memoria e missione dell'amore e del sacrificio di Cristo stesso, e la loro comunione costituisce la cellula originaria della Chiesa, corpo mistico di Cristo, prefigurazione storica della comunità dei santi.

Book Cardinal Giacomo Antonelli and Papal Politics in European Affairs

Download or read book Cardinal Giacomo Antonelli and Papal Politics in European Affairs written by Frank J. Coppa and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coppa provides the first full-length study of Giacomo Antonelli, friend and advisor to Pope Pius IX (Pio Nono) and his Secretary of State and chief minister from 1849 to 1876. Based on the documents of the secret Vatican Archives, and neglected family papers in the State Archive in Rome, the book gives an important reevaluation of this key diplomatic figure, separating the man from the myth and delving into his character and policies. The book examines both the personality and policies of the Cardinal, who was seen to be the Pope’s Richelieu and Mazarin combined. Confronting the polemical literature which has charged him with sexual misconduct and venality, the study examines his early formation and career, the inspiration for his European policies, his relationship to Pio Nono, and the part he played in the Counter-Risorgimento and the Papal reaction. By improving our understanding of Papal, Italian, and European developments during these crucial decades, this study provides new insights into Rome’s fortress mentality and its rejection of the main currents that were transforming western life— currents that influenced not only the Catholic Church but European society as a whole.

Book The Unknown Pope

Download or read book The Unknown Pope written by John Pollard and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth and extensively researched biography of Pope Benedict XV. Best known for his efforts to end World War I, Benedict XV was the first contemporary pope to assume the role of peacemaker, a role that has persisted in the papacy since. Although Benedict's 1917 Peace Note was rejected by officials, he went on to help establish Save the Children and to lead European efforts at humanitarian aid. His brief pontificate resulted in a positive reassessment of the Church's attitude towards colonialism and colonized peoples. Using previously unpublished correspondence and private papers from the Vatican archives, John Pollard has written the first biography on Benedict XV in almost half a century.

Book Birth  Marriage  and Death   Ritual  Religion  and the Life Cycle in Tudor and Stuart England

Download or read book Birth Marriage and Death Ritual Religion and the Life Cycle in Tudor and Stuart England written by David Cressy and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1997-05-29 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From childbirth and baptism through to courtship, weddings, and funerals, every stage in the life-cycle of Tudor and Stuart England was accompanied by ritual. Even under the protestantism of the reformed Church, the spiritual and social dramas of birth, marriage, and death were graced with elaborate ceremony. Powerful and controversial protocols were in operation, shaped and altered by the influences of the Reformation, the Revolution, and the Restoration. Each of the major rituals was potentially an arena for argument, ambiguity, and dissent. Ideally, as classic rites of passage, these ceremonies worked to bring people together. But they also set up traps into which people could stumble, and tests which not everybody could pass. In practice, ritual performance revealed frictions and fractures that everyday local discourse attempted to hide or to heal. Using fascinating first-hand evidence, David Cressy shows how the making and remaking of ritual formed part of a continuing debate, sometimes strained and occasionally acrimonious, which exposed the raw nerves of society in the midst of great historical events. In doing so, he vividly brings to life the common experiences of living and dying in Tudor and Stuart England.
