Download or read book Pious Postmortems written by Bradford A. Bouley and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the process of consideration for sainthood, the body of Filippo Neri, "the apostle of Rome," was dissected shortly after he died in 1595. The finest doctors of the papal court were brought in to ensure that the procedure was completed with the utmost care. These physicians found that Neri exhibited a most unusual anatomy. His fourth and fifth ribs had somehow been broken to make room for his strangely enormous and extraordinarily muscular heart. The physicians used this evidence to conclude that Neri had been touched by God, his enlarged heart a mark of his sanctity. In Pious Postmortems, Bradford A. Bouley considers the dozens of examinations performed on reputedly holy corpses in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries at the request of the Catholic Church. Contemporary theologians, physicians, and laymen believed that normal human bodies were anatomically different from those of both very holy and very sinful individuals. Attempting to demonstrate the reality of miracles in the bodies of its saints, the Church introduced expert testimony from medical practitioners and increased the role granted to university-trained physicians in the search for signs of sanctity such as incorruption. The practitioners and physicians engaged in these postmortem examinations to further their study of human anatomy and irregularity in nature, even if their judgments regarding the viability of the miraculous may have been compromised by political expediency. Tracing the complicated relationship between the Catholic Church and medicine, Bouley concludes that neither religious nor scientific truths were self-evident but rather negotiated through a complex array of local and broader interests.

Download or read book Loved as I Am written by Sr. Miriam James Heidland SOLT and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sr. Miriam James Heidland’s life as a successful college athlete proved unfulfilling, she went searching for something deeper and ended up falling in love with Jesus. By charting her own journey toward wholeness, Heidland invites young Catholics to pursue their own relationship with Jesus. Although originally full of athletic ambition and goals for a career in sports news, Heidland was transformed in a very slow but deep way during her undergraduate years, moving from party girl to bride of Christ. In Loved as I Am: An Invitation to Conversion, Healing, and Freedom through Jesus, Heidland helps readers learn from her experience of seeking love in the wrong places and instead finding it in Christ. She shares her struggles—learning she was adopted, battling alcoholism, and healing from childhood sexual abuse—as signs of hope that anyone who desires to know Christ can find him and be loved intimately by him in return. By bringing readers into Heidland’s healing process, Loved as I Am provides a gentle and subtle template for finding peace and freedom in Jesus.

Download or read book Anatomy of an Episcopal Dressing Down and Clericalism A Prince of the Catholic Church and an Ecclesial Irritant written by Tarcisius Mukuka and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polemic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Theology - Practical Theology, grade: 1.0, Kwame Nkrumah University, course: Pastoral Theology, language: English, abstract: This article aims at presenting a theological difference of opinion between a bishop and a lay theologian brought about by the recent alleged papal endorsement of same-sex unions presented in a new documentary Francesco. The surprising thing was that while the lay person was on the side of the Pope and arguing that there was no change in the perennial teaching of the Church, he ended up at the receiving end of an episcopal dressing down for misleading those “differently abled intellectuals who may not be as highly gifted” than he was. The author argues that the real issue was clericalism and as long as he wore the ID “ex-priest” he had lost his place at the theological high table. The episcopal dressing down was a rude reminder that clericalism was alive and well and keeping the Catholic Church in the Stone Age. In his default position, he would have told the bishop to get on his bike but thanked him for clearing the air where he stood in the theological pecking order and to take his place under the table.

Book excerpt: Leaving one's religion for another is not a mindless decision. It is something done thoughtfully and oftentimes with great trepidation. You are leaving your faith, the faith of your family, and many times losing their respect. But there are times when it just has to be done, because not following though could be spiritually fatal. This is the story of one young man and his struggle with the Roman Catholic Church, his family, and eventually with himself. He did not leave the Catholic Church for another church, but left it for a soul-saving relationship with Jesus Christ that goes far beyond any organizational relationship. The book reads like a novel as the author totally bares his soul in his struggle with individual Catholic priests as he prods and digs for answers to the great question of individual salvation. Part of this includes a word-for-word debate near the end of the book with two Jesuit priests at Boston College that is unlike anything now in print. The author at this point knew his subject matter from the inside out, not as one who studied the differences like some "scholars" might, but as one who lived it and came through it. This story took place in the early 1960s and much has changed in the Catholic Church since then. But what has not changed is the sacramental/law system of salvation that holds so many in bondage. It is not what one does for himself--but what Jesus has done for him. Understanding this is the key that frees one from bondage to law and brings one into the freedom of God's grace.
