Download or read book Hacer teologia y etica teologica frente a la crisis de los abusos written by Daniel J. Fleming and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este volumen titulado "Hacer teología frente al abuso sexual" surge como resultado de un "laboratorio teológico" promovido por el Centro para la Protección Infantil y la Ética Teológica Católica en la Iglesia Mundial (CTEWC). Los participantes, a causa de la pandemia del COVID-19, durante dos años tuvieron que reunirse de manera remota en "mesas virtuales". Tras estos encuentros, veintiséis académicos compartieron sus reflexiones acerca de dicha problemática y sus posibles abordajes. La publicación de esta obra supone cierta urgencia, una urgencia que a menudo no se encuentra en otro tipo de trabajos teológicos o ética teológica. La extensión del daño a la dignidad humana causado por el abuso sexual dentro de la Iglesia plantea profundos dilemas, tanto para las disciplinas como para aquellos que las practican: ¿En qué medida hemos pasado por alto estos problemas? ¿Por qué nuestros esfuerzos en teología y ética teológica han tardado tanto en abordar estos temas? ¿De qué manera están implicadas la teología y la ética teológica en esta crisis? ¿Qué contribuciones específicas podrían ofrecer estas disciplinas para abordar constructivamente este desafío? Este volumen reúne el trabajo de diversos académicos de distintas partes del mundo, todos ellos abocados al análisis y la reflexión sobre estos y otros interrogantes.
Download or read book El azote de Dios written by Josep Carles Clemente and published by Editorial Manuscritos. This book was released on 2013-07-14 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los avances conseguidos en el Concilio Vaticano II parecen ser definitivamente aparcados, sobre todo, desde la llegada al papado del cardenal Ratzinger e iniciada por el Papa Juan Pablo II. La reciente elección de un nuevo pontífice, de nacionalidad argentina, el Papa Francisco, está por ver por dónde se inclinará. En el presente texto se aborda el tema de la relación de la Iglesia y el Carlismo en la España contemporánea. El Carlismo nunca se sintió favorecido por la Iglesia, institución que ha cruzado el Rubicón desde la época de Juan XXIII, en la que se afirmó el pluralismo político y se negó el apoyo al proyecto democristiano de Joaquín Ruíz Giménez. Todo ello ha hecho crecer lo que ya se creía enterrado: el anticlericalismo. Un ejemplo de la respuesta carlista fue la advertencia de Don Javier al cardenal Tarancón, presidente entonces de la Conferencia Episcopal Española. En el texto se relatan desde los enormes privilegios que goza la Iglesia actual hasta su enfrentamiento a todo planteamiento que significara un avance o renovación ideológica de la sociedad española. Posiblemente este trabajo escandalizará a algunos y, sin embargo, a otros les parecerá que nos hemos quedado cortos. El asunto tiene su lógica, ya que lo contrario sería creer que la actual sociedad española pasa de todo. Pero está demostrado que no es así.
Download or read book The Catholic Social Imagination written by Joseph M. Palacios and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-11-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reach of the Catholic Church is arguably greater than that of any other religion, extending across diverse political, ethnic, class, and cultural boundaries. But what is it about Catholicism that resonates so profoundly with followers who live under disparate conditions? What is it, for instance, that binds parishioners in America with those in Mexico? For Joseph M. Palacios, what unites Catholics is a sense of being Catholic—a social imagination that motivates them to promote justice and build a better world. In The Catholic Social Imagination, Palacios gives readers a feeling for what it means to be Catholic and put one’s faith into action. Tracing the practices of a group of parishioners in Oakland, California, and another in Guadalajara, Mexico, Palacios reveals parallels—and contrasts—in the ways these ordinary Catholics receive and act on a church doctrine that emphasizes social justice. Whether they are building a supermarket for the low-income elderly or waging protests to promote school reform, these parishioners provide important insights into the construction of the Catholic social imagination. Throughout, Palacios also offers important new cultural and sociological interpretations of Catholic doctrine on issues such as poverty, civil and human rights, political participation, and the natural law.
Download or read book Ulysses Guatemala written by Denis Faubert and published by Hunter Publishing, Inc. This book was released on 2000 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerald M. Phillips draws on his twenty-five-year, five-thousand-client experience with the Pennsylvania State University Reticence Program to present a new theory of modification of “inept” communication behavior. That experience has convinced Phillips that communication is arbitrary and rulebound rather than a process of inspiration. He demonstrates that communication problems can be described as errors that can be detected and classified in order to fit a remediation pattern. Regardless of the source of error, the remedy is to train the individual to avoid or eliminate errors—thus, orderly procedure will result in competent performance. Inept communicators must be made aware of the obligations and constraints imposed by deep structures that require us to achieve a degree of formal order in our language, without which our discourse becomes incomprehensible.
Download or read book Pope Francis written by Mario I Aguilar and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2014-05-29 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pope Francis: His Life and Thought paints a compelling picture of a truly remarkable pope, considering his life in detail until his election as Pope Francis in 2013. Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was a highly unusual candidate for the papacy for two main reasons: the 'pope from far away' is the first non-European to be elected, and, furthermore, he began his career as a Jesuit, one of 'God's soldiers'. Members of the order traditionally do not ascend the hierarchy of the Church, and it took a personal request from Pope John Paul II for Bergoglio to leave the Society of Jesus and accept his appointment as bishop. Bergoglio's theological principles have been profoundly shaped by these two factors. However, the author also reveals that the evolution of his thought was deeply affected by his simple Argentinean upbringing and his fearless work in the slums of Buenos Aires as a young Jesuit and as a senior member of the Church. Bergoglio has consistently emphasised the importance of alleviatingthe suffering of the poor, following the teaching of Vatican II, and in keeping with his own unflinching morality. This volume reveals Pope Francis as remarkably humble and altruistic man, doctrinally conservative, and engaged less in politics thanin the struggle to re-centre the Church at the margins of society. It will be of great interest to any reader who wishes to know more about this inspiring individual.

Download or read book The Politics and Memory of Democratic Transition written by Diego Muro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most accounts on the Spanish transition to democracy of the late 1970s are based on a false dilemma. Its simplest formulation could be: was it the pressure from below, i.e. the organized working classes, students and neighbors associations that triggered political change; or was the elite settlement reached by the regime soft-liners and the moderate sectors of the democratic opposition that established it? This new and innovative volume appraises the movement towards a more democratic Spain from a variety of important perspectives; the collection of essays sheds light on the wide range of crucial processes, institutions and actors involved in the political transformation that operated in the Spanish instance of the Third Wave of democratization. By making comparisons to other democratic transitions, synthesizing the ideas of several leading Spanish History scholars, as well as incorporating new voices involved in creating the directions of research to come, The Politics and Memory of Democratic Transition offers a thorough and vital look at this key period in contemporary Spanish history, taking stock of critical lessons to be gleaned from the Spanish Transition, and pointing the way toward its future as a democratic nation.

Book excerpt: First published in 1991. An implicit thesis of this volume is that popular culture in Chile is more than the total of many individual biographies. It requires a new analysis of society as a whole and of social change. Too often, political scientists and other social analysts have seen social change as proceeding from the top down. One can interpre

Download or read book Que Venga el Amanecer written by Brian Hogan and published by Disciple Making Mentors. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¡Que Venga el Amanecer! ofrece una experiencia de lectura única. Este híbrido totalmente integrado es a la vez una novela de ritmo rápido y una herramienta de formación incisiva. Equipa a uno para evangelizar de una manera que se propaga como el sarampión, para hacer discípulos que obedezcan activamente a Jesús y para multiplicar iglesias o células. La mejor manera, por mucho, de preparar un pastor eficaz o un multiplicador de iglesias es hacerlo como lo hicieron Jesús y Pablo: llevar aprendices con ellos al lugar donde se lleva a cabo la acción. Su viaje simulado lo transporta a uno fuera de una zona de comodidad familiar a un entorno similar al de muchos pueblos entre los cuales Dios está trabajando poderosamente, como en el libro de los Hechos.
Download or read book ALIMENTO ESPIRITUAL PARA UN ALMA QUE BUSCA written by PADRE JOSEPH BELLERIVE, JCD. and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro trata de nuestra fe, que es un don que Dios en su inmenso amor nos da para nuestro crecimiento personal, espiritual y humano. Aquellos que son humildes y están abiertos para recibir este don en sus corazones, son capaces de hacer frente a los múltiples desafíos de la vida sin desanimarse, sin caer en la angustia o sin sentirse abandonados. Es un acto de humildad que todos tenemos que hacer en este mundo lleno de confusión y orgullo, con el fin de experimentar la verdadera paz que el Señor ha venido a traernos. Este libro está destinado a apoyar a cualquier cristiano que esté preocupado por la realidad del Último Día, la cual experimentará cada uno de nosotros. Es también una referencia para todos los que están dispuestos a profundizar en su fe para permanecer despiertos y estar preparados para el Señor con la ayuda de las enseñanzas de la fe. No importa que se trate de un intelectual, de un profesor, de un granjero, de una ama de casa, etc.; de una persona joven o adulta. El libro ofrece una presentación de nuestra propia identidad como hijos de Dios. En cada uno existe una dimensión espiritual donde Dios se comunica con nosotros y que nos permite ser llamados hombre o mujer. Es una aberración que algunas personas se tengan a sí mismas como ateas por no creer en Dios cuando, irónicamente, Dios sí cree en ellas y les permite vivir en el mundo que Él ha creado. Cada ser humano debería tomar en serio su condición y su presencia en esta vida para no caer en la mediocridad de no creer. Confundidos con las muchas cosas materiales a las que ellos están expuestos, muchos hombres toman la decisión de no creer en Dios. Lógicamente, esta decisión es una negación de su propia existencia, porque un hombre o una mujer sólo pueden existir en relación con Dios, su Creador. Ninguno de los seres humanos se puede dar vida a sí mismo. Antes que ellos nacieran, alguien superior los ha precedido, de la misma manera que antes de nacer un hijo existen ya su padre y su madre. Así, este libro es una reafirmación de nuestra fe, expresada de una manera muy sencilla y sin ninguna complicación. Este libro es también un recordatorio para nosotros amar a nuestra Iglesia y defenderla a pesar de que haya muchas cosas que nos puedan provocar desencanto. No debemos desanimarnos; al contrario, debemos estar felices de saber el camino que conduce a la paz y a la salvación. La Iglesia se inició con la traición de Judas, que contribuyó a la cruz de Jesús. Este tipo de hechos seguirán estando presentes en nuestra Iglesia, en nuestras comunidades, e incluso en el comportamiento de nuestros líderes. Pero, si Dios está con nosotros, ¿quién puede estar contra nosotros? Jesús nos ha marcado el camino que debemos seguir si queremos estar con Dios nuestro Padre. Mi libro está escrito en armonía con las enseñanzas de la fe católica y el mensaje va directo al corazón de la persona humana. El contenido del libro nos invita a mantener la fe con el fin de comprender mejor nuestro papel en un mundo lleno de violencia y de secularismo. Hemos llegado a ser violentos no sólo con los demás, sino también con nosotros mismos, al elegir creencias y actitudes que no nos ayudan a convertirnos en personas obedientes, humildes y felices. Muchos hombres y mujeres entran en la Iglesia, pero tienen una interpretación errónea de la fe y de la jerarquía. Ellos no están de acuerdo ni contentos con una cosa ni otra. Piensan que pueden escoger y elegir lo que quieran y como quieran. Sin embargo, es importante entender que la Iglesia no es, y nunca ha sido, una democracia. La Iglesia es jerárquica y encuentra su fundamento en la autoridad que el Señor Jesús recibió del Padre. Con esa autoridad, Él dijo a Pedro: " Tú eres Pedro, y sobre esta piedra edificaré mi Iglesia, y el poder del infierno no la derrotará".
