Encyclopedia of Catholic Social Thought, Social Science, and Social Policy

Supplement

By: Michael L. Coulter,Richard S. Myers,Joseph A. Varacalli

The two original volumes of the Encyclopedia of Catholic Social Thought, Social Science, and Social Policy were published in 2007. Those two volumes included 848 entries from nearly 300 contributors and included a wide range of entries in three general categories: entries exploring Catholic social thought at a theoretical level, entries reflecting the learning of various social science and humanistic disciplines as this learning relates to Catholic social thought, and entries examining specific social policy questions. This third, supplemental volume continues the approach of the original two. First, the volume includes entries that explore Catholic social thought at its broadest, most theoretical level; for example, an entry on Pope Benedict’s important social encyclical Caritas in Veritate. Second, the volume includes entries that discuss recent social science research that bears on issues important to Catholic social thought; for example, an entry on the social costs of pornography draws on recent research on the topic. Third, the volume includes entries discussing specific issues of social policy that have become increasingly important in recent years; for example, an entry on embryo adoption and/or rescue. This third volume contains 202 entirely new entries from over 100 contributors. The contributors include distinguished scholars such as Father Robert John Araujo, S.J. (Loyola University of Chicago), Father Kevin L. Flannery, S.J. (Gregorian University), Robert P. George (Princeton University), William E. May (John Paul Institute and the Culture of Life Foundation), D. Q. McInerny (Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary), and Michael Novak (Ave Maria University). The work will appeal to anyone who is looking for a clear and accurate introduction to Catholic social thought.

Conserving Humanity at the Dawn of Posthuman Technology

By: Joseph R. Carvalko Jr.

This volume examines the latest scientific and technological developments likely to shape our post-human future. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the author argues that we stand at the precipice of an evolutionary change caused by genetic engineering and anatomically embedded digital and informational technologies. The author delves into current scientific initiatives that will lead to the emergence of super smart individuals with unique creative capacities. He draws on technology, psychology and philosophy to consider humans-as-they-are relative to autonomy, creativity, and their place in a future shared with ‘post humans.’ The author discusses the current state of bioethics and technology law, both which policymakers, beset by a torrent of revolutionary advances in bioengineering, are attempting to steer. Significantly, Carvalko addresses why we must both preserve the narratives that brought us to this moment and continue to express our humanity through, music, art, and literature, to ensure that, as a uniquely creative species, we don’t simply vanish in the ether of an evolution brought about by our own technology.

BEYOND GODS AND SCRIPTURES

Religion Can Unite Humanity and Not Divide Us

By: Joseph Mani

Religion has been the biggest divisive force in history. This book examines the irrational and harmful beliefs of religious people, which lead to religion becoming a destructive force. Religion can be and has been a force for good too. What are the aspects of religion that make it meaningful? Does God exist? The book details the scientific and philosophical arguments adduced for God’s existence and how valid they are. In the last section, we look at five luminaries of science who either had close encounters with religious establishments or had strong views on religion and God. We look at the lives of Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Einstein and Hawking, not so much as scientists, but as human beings with their own kinks and idiosyncrasies. The author brings to this book his extensive knowledge of physics, philosophy, religion and the behavioural sciences.

Teaching and Learning the Love of God

Being a Priest Today

By: Joseph Ratzinger

Teaching and Learning the Love of God

Being a Priest Today

By: Joseph Ratzinger

This inspiring collection of homilies delivered by Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) over six decades offers deep theological and historical insights on the meaning of the life and the witness of a Catholic priest. When Pope Benedict XVI inaugurated the Year for Priests in 2009, he did so in conjunction with celebrating the 150th anniversary of the death of John Vianney, the patron saint of all parish priests. Benedict's purpose for that special year is the same purpose of this book of homilies—to deepen the commitment of all priests to interior renewal for the sake of a stronger and more incisive witness to the Gospel in today's world. As St. John Vianney would often say, "The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus." This touching expression makes us reflect on the immense gift that priests represent, not only for the Church but for all mankind. Contemporary men and women need priests to be distinguished by their determined witness to Christ. These homilies are meant to illuminate and to inspire priests to renew their commitment to "teaching and learning the love of God". The homilies cover a wide variety of important topics on the priesthood, all deeply rooted in Scripture, including acting in persona Christi, becoming an offering with Christ for the salvation of mankind, being there for God's mercy, and witnessing Christian joy.

Laughter is a gift from God. In fact, St. Francis de Sales used to say, A sad saint is a sorry saint. Smile Awhile is a collection of jokes that Father Shamon uses to soften up his audience while giving lectures on the Faith. This is a real knee-slapping, soup-spittin, ' fall-down-on-the-floor book full of Irish and priestly wit.

The book is based on the life of Jim Mahon, who was an outstanding hockey prospect, killed in a farm accident at age 19. His death broke the heart of a whole community. Jim was generally considered to be a young phenom, like a Gretzky or an Orr. His story is compelling even now, forty years after his death not only because of his hockey ability, but more because he was such a great human being.

Facing Life ... Enjoy the Whether

By: Ronald Joseph Schinderle

At first glance, whether seems like a misspelling of weather. It isnt. Whether is a turning point in your life that will determine a change in direction. The road reaches a T, and you must go left or right and live with your choice. Facing life is the dawn of each new day or each new chapter. I aim to live each new day with faith, courage, and optimism. I did not become a Catholic priest or a Catholic deacon, but the call to follow Jesus is a universal call to all people. Many Americans are, have been, or will be married. The future (according to Dawnher pen name) is for hope and for dreams to come true. Are you patient enough to do it Gods way? Since 2006, I have been conscious of this reality: People dont care how much you know until they know how much you care. My prayer for you: Be well. Be whole. Be full of wisdom. And God bless you.

A History of France

By: Joseph Bergin

Few modern countries can boast of such a lengthy history as France, whose distinctive shape has been a key feature of the successive stages of European history during the past millennium. This engaging narrative seamlessly weaves together the complex tale of French history since the year 1000. Bringing together political, religious, social and cultural developments, A History of France provides an insightful and readable overview of the country's history as it moved from a dominant position within Europe – with an empire stretching across the continents – to one in which it was invaded and occupied by its largest neighbour. Through revolution, war and peace, Joseph Bergin explores how the Frankland of 1000 CE has mutated into the France we know today.

The Doctrine of Being in the Aristotelian Metaphysics

A Study in the Greek Background of Mediaeval Thought

By: Joseph Owens

The problem of being is central to Western metaphysics. Etched sharply in the verses of Parmenides, it took on distinctive colouring in Aristotle as the subject matter of a science expressly labelled 'theological.' For Aristotle, being could not be shared in generic fashion by other natures. As a nature it had to be found not in various species but in a primary instance only. The science specified by the primary nature was accordingly the one science that under the aspect of being treated universally of whatever is: it dealt with being qua being.

Beyond the Call

The Legacy of the Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Augustine, Florida

By: Sister Thomas Joseph McGoldrick

This is the incredible story about the role of a particular group of religious women who came to Florida and Georgia immediately following the Civil War. This book relates the story of the Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Augustine, FL. These French Sisters came in 1866 to educate the liberated slaves. Floridas first Bishop, Augustin Verot invited them from the City of Le Puy in south central France where the Congregation had been founded in 1650. The central piece of the story is about the first eight Sisters and those who followed them in establishing free schools, academies, the founding of orphanages, nursing during yellow fever epidemics (1877, 1888), teaching in Public Schools, Americanization of the Congregation, dynamics in dealing with Bishops in America, separation and excommunication, teaching the Apache Indians, their arrest in 1916 for teaching Black students. There are many letters written by the French Sisters to their comrades and family members in France in the late 1800s giving the real story and the local color of the experiences.

An Invitation to Catholic Faith

By: Joseph Stoutzenberger

What sets Catholicism apart from other Christian faiths? What does it mean to be Catholic today? Is the Bible a "Catholic" book? An Invitation to Catholic Faith gets the Catholic conversation rolling. You'll learn about the rich traditions, awesome mystery, and fascinating people of the Catholic Church. In clear and concise language, the author explains Catholic approaches to Scripture, Tradition, the sacraments, spiritual practices, and more. Wise and lively commentary plus discussion questions make this book perfect for individual or group study; for RCIA inquirers, catechumens, and candidates, and for returning or practicing Catholics. When life is confusing, troubling, or disappointing, the author says, "faith assures Catholics that there is more meaning to their existence than they could possibly know". Book jacket.

My Glorious Journey

From Baptism Priestly Ministry

By: Msgr. Theo. Joseph

My suspicion peaked when my medical doctor proposed, in fact highly recommended, that I have consultations with an oncologist. The meaning and implications of this recommendation meant that my medical doctor had a suspicion of cancer but wanted to verify it. Trembling with fear, I visited the oncologist, and after a battery of tests, it was confirmed that I was a cancer patient. Wow, I thought to myself, my death warrant is signed and sealed but not yet delivered. My preparation for death had begun, and for the very first time, it dawned on me that death was not too far away. The first step in this preparation was to fight death and fight it with all ammunition at my disposal.

The Fathers of My Children: the Genealogy and Lifestyle Changes of the Umorens of Asong in Eastern Nigeria

The Tale of Africans in the Diaspora

By: Joseph A. Umoren

The Fathers of My Children: The Genealogy and Lifestyle Changes of the Umorens of Asong in Eastern Nigeria describes the ancestral origin of the Umorens and the existing lineal connection with all Africans in the Diaspora, regardless of their different migrational pathways in which they found themselves outside of Africa, particularly in North America. The book is also a description of the total African experience throughout human history and of the human motivation in the African voluntary and involuntary migrations. The causes and effects of such migrations are delineated to include the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, the Partition of Africa, and the Colonization and Decolonization of Africa. In part, it is a story of the African holocaust, which spans over four hundred years. While the book does not call for an African retreat from the New Wave of globalism and the individual quest for greener pastures, it serves to remind all Africans of the need to reverse African economic and cultural deprivation, the decay of the African villages and traditional lifestyles through their renewed Africanism that connects one to another and rebuilds the communities they left behind.

The Catholic Social Imagination

Activism and the Just Society in Mexico and the United States

By: Joseph M. Palacios

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.
