‎Practice Makes Catholic‎

‎The author addresses the all-important "why" of many Catholic practices by articulating five key characteristics that form Catholic identity: 1 a sense of sacramentality; 2 a commitment to community; 3 a respect for the dignity of human life and a commitment to justice; 4 a reverence for Tradition; and 5 a disposition to faith and hope rather than despair. Under each of these categories Joe Paprocki explains multiple Catholic practices. With each he then describes how each practice can make a difference in our faith and in our lives.

‎Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven‎

‎<p>In this bestseller the author traces the history of ethics in the West with regard to sexual morality including for example contraception homosexuality and extramarital relations.  The author details specific Church teachings doctrines and practices related to sexual moraltiy.  Beginning with non-Christian traditions this erudite study deals with the earliest evidence including the New Testament; she also studies in extensive detail the teachings of St. Augustine and other Church fathers.  She also considers the evolution of clerical celibacy the influence of monasticism the imposition of monastic norms on lay people the early penitentials and especially Scholasticism including Abelard and Aquinas.  The authors too how the Church was influenced by more recent movements such as Lutheranism and Jansenism. </p><p>On the one hand much of the study has a polemical cast; the author clearly has an axe to grind.  She points out how much the Western tradition is misogynist and pessimistic with regard to sexuality.  Although much of her focus is on monks and clergy the attitudes and values she narrates are actually a reflection of the broader society.  Ultimately one would have to go back more extensively to Stoicism and Manicheanism as understood in the West to see the origins of the problematic attitudes she describes.  She does some of this necessary work in the very first chapter.  Consequently her anti-clerical reflections should more accurately be revised so that they would be understood not as an imposition of false teachings but moreso an expression of already existing cultural norms. </p><p>On the other hand Ranke-Heinemann displays in this study much serious scholarship.  She brings to the fore much data that is not well represented in other works on her chosen topics.  Moreover many rational explanations of sexual values are actually rooted in the cultural contexts that she so thoroughly analyzes.  In fact as the author shows early Christianity was more influenced by pagan sexual value systems than by the Jewish heritage from which Christianity first sprung. </p><p>To understand the history of several of the important topics studied any serious thinker has to take this work into account.</p><p>Elizabeth Schussler Fiorenza of Harvard Divinity School has said that this book is "must reading for anyone conerned with public policy."  She says that the author's arguments are "often witty but carefully researched."</p><p>The author holds a PhD in Catholic theology.  Since late 1987 she held the chair of History of Religion at the University of Essen. </p><p> </p><p> </p> Doubleday hardcover‎

‎Keating James‎

‎The Deacon Reader‎

‎This book is an anthology of articles on the diaconate. Authors include a wide spectrum of theologians historians deacons and others. The first part of the book provides essays on historical and theological questions about the diaconate. The second part gives us articles about pastoral foundations for the identity of the deacon. The third part has two essays on the sociological identity of the deacon including that of married man. The multiple endorsements at the beginning of this book bear witness to its value. The editor himself a deacon intends this book to be used especially by deacons in the course of their studies preparing for ordination. In fact the book would be a valuable resource for any deacon or priest. Especially useful is the very first essay by Father Edward Enright OSA on the history of the diaconate. He shows how the deacon is important to the Church and to its mission down through the ages. Paulist Press paperback‎

‎Anderson Carl‎

‎A Civilization of Love‎

‎"Anderson performs some intellectual heavy lifting in these pages; but at its core his message is utterly simple: Christians will make America into a culture of life and love more by their personal example than by political muscle. He artfully weaves theory and practice giving us a rare specimen indeed: a practical guide for idealists." John L. Allen Jr. senior correspondent National Catholic Reporter <br><br>"Few elements of Catholic social teaching have more forcefully stated or more regularly ignored than our calling to bring Christian teachings to bear on social political and economic issues. Carl Anderson the dynamic leader of the largest Catholic laymen's organization in the United States seeks to bring that message home." Mary Ann Glendon Learned Hand Professor of Law Harvard University<br><br>"A Civilization of Love is a bracing call to a new American revolution: a revolution of virtue. By explaining why freedom must be tethered to truth and ordered to goodness and by offering eminently practical suggestions for bringing truth and goodness into public life Carl Anderson does all Americans a significant service. Give this book to friends who say there's nothing to be done to heal a wounded culture." George Weigel distinguished senior fellow Ethics and Public Policy Center HarperCollins hardcover‎

‎Sacred Silence: Denial and the Crisis in the Church‎

‎"In this balanced and clearly written book Father Donald Cozzens shows himself once again to be a wise well-informed insightful and truth-telling observer of the Catholic Church. This book should have as receptive an audience as his widely celebrated <i>The Changing Face of the Priesthood</i>. It should stimulate as much healthy controversy as well." --Father Richard McBrien.<br><br>"In <i>Sacred Silence</i> Donald Cozzens speaks out in a gentle voice in a way that nobody else does in today's Church. With a calmness and sureness of tone that come of his great love for the Church he examines the tragic results of the studied silence." --Eugene Kennedy.<br><br>".Cozzens is a man of faith who dares to say what needs to be said. This book is the next step in a debate which the Catholic community urgently needs." --Dean R. Hoge Liturgical Press hardcover‎

Running alongside the text are well-chosen quotations photographs diagrams and musical examples. Each chapter ends with a delightful story suggesting what it must have been like for real people who celebrated the Eucharist. This second revised edition is nearly twice as long as the original.

This will be an indispensable text for teachers and students. Congratulations to the author for this achievement.

The liturgical tradition--in both its vibrant diversity and its lively engagement with material reality the visual arts music and architecture--truly comes alive in this volume. From Age to Age is a must for anyone interested in how Christians have celebrated the sacrament of God's real presence in ever-changing contexts." Liturgy Training Publications paperback‎
