Download or read book Common Calling written by Stephen J. Pope and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-19 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Church has been exacerbated in the minds of many by the dismal response of church leadership. Uncovered along with the abuse of power were decisions that were not only made in secrecy, but which also magnified the powerlessness of the people of the church to have any say in its governance. Accordingly, many have left the church, many have withheld funding—others have vowed to work for change, as witnessed by the phenomenal growth of Voice of the Faithful. Common Calling is indeed a call—for change, for inclusion, and a place at the table for the laity when it comes to the governance of the church. By first providing compelling historical precedents of the roles and status of the laity as it functioned during the first millennium, Common Calling compares and contrasts those to the place of the laity today. It is this crossroad—between the past and the possible future of the Catholic Church—where the distinguished contributors to this volume gather in the hope and expectation of change. They examine the distinction between laity and clergy in regard to the power of church governance, and explore the theological interpretation of clergy-laity relations and governance in the teachings of the Second Vatican Council. They look at how church officials interpret the role of the laity today and address the weaknesses in that model. Finally, they speak clearly in outlining the ways governance may be improved, and how—by emphasizing dialogue, participation, gender equality, and loyalty—the role of the laity can be enhanced. Speaking as active believers and academic specialists, all of the contributors assert that the church must evolve in the 21st century. They represent a variety of disciplines, including systematic theology, sacramental theology, canon law, political science, moral theology, pastoral theology, and management. The book also includes an essay by James Post, cofounder of the Catholic lay movement Voice of the Faithful, the organization that was in part responsible for the resignation of Boston's Cardinal Bernard Law. Common Calling looks to a future of transparency in the Catholic Church that, with an invested laity, will help to prevent any further abuse—especially the abuse of power.
Download or read book Clericalism written by George B. Wilson and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Searching for answers in the midst of the sexual abuse crisis in the church, many blamed the clerical culture. But what exactly is this clerical culture? We may know it when we see it, but how can we 'whether clergy or laypeople 'go about dismantling it and putting in place a new, healthy culture? George Wilson has spent decades working with organizations to help them discover, and often recover, their foundational calling. He is also a Jesuit priest engaged in the lives of congregations. In Clericalism: The Death of Priesthood he brings together both capacities and gives his sense of the challenges facing the church. As members of the church, Wilson maintains, we are all responsible for creating a clerical culture. And we are also responsible for that culture's transformation. Clericalism aids this transformation by helping us examine some underlying attitudes that create and preserve destructive relationships between ordained and laity. After looking at the crisis and establishing where we are now, this book challenges us with concrete suggestions for changing behaviors. We are lay and ordained, but all baptized into the royal priesthood of 1 Peter 2:9, all called to spread the Gospel and do the work of God's love in the world. Ultimately, this is a hopeful book, looking for the restoration of a genuine priesthood, free of clericalism, in which we become truly united in Christ..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do You Believe? A Catholic Layman’s View By: Nicholas Fuerst Nicholas Fuerst has previously published two short books: Thy Kingdom Come – My Life in God’s Kingdom, and Thy Will Be Done – Three Principles for Godly Living. As a lifelong Catholic Christian, Dr. Fuerst has held firmly to his faith and diligently pursued a deepening degree of knowledge, understanding, and experiences of his religious convictions. Sharing the Christian faith with others now propels him through the later years of his life. Being born and raised in Rochester, New York, he obtained his higher education in Buffalo, NY. He then trained in Family Medicine in Washington, Pennsylvania, where he completed forty-five years of medical practice and raised his family. He now continues to maintain committed family connections with his wife Patricia, their three sons and daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren. A variety of parish and community Christian service activities provide ongoing opportunities for him to practice his faith. Dr. Fuerst’s life’s perspective has convinced him of God’s ever-present love and guidance. He has always hoped he would be part of God’s blessings to others, and that one day eternal life with our Father in Heaven would be available to him, as well as to all of those whom God has placed in his life.
