Book Synopsis Papal Journeys by : Antonio Spadaro SJ
Download or read book Papal Journeys written by Antonio Spadaro SJ and published by ucanews. This book was released on 2022-07-27 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 11 travelogues in this eBook offer an insight into Francis’ character, his belief in fraternity, peace, his love for humanity and his constant desire to connect with the world. Since the pontificate of Paul VI, each pope has travelled widely led by St John Paul II who visited 129 countries in his 27 year reign. Pope Francis has continued in his predecessors’ footsteps, travelling to the four corners of the globe beginning with a trip to World Youth Day, 2013 in Brazil only four months after his election. During his travels, the pope has met Catholics on the peripheries of the global church in places like Myanmar and Iraq, Christians of all denominations, believers of other religions in Asia, Israel, and across the Muslim world. Two ideals that lie at the heart of his travels are a deep desire for both encounter and tolerance. More than any modern pope, Francis has sought encounters with our Muslim brothers and sisters in Egypt, Turkey, Jordan and Azerbaijan to Bangladesh and the Gulf States. Very often when Francis travels, Fr. Antonio Spadaro, director of La Civiltà Cattolica, has accompanied him and subsequently written an account of the trip. These “travelogues” offer an insight into Francis’ character, his belief in fraternity, peace, his love for humanity and his constant desire to connect with the world.
Download or read book Pope Francis written by Mario I. Aguilar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is about Pope Francis, the diplomat. In his eight years of pontificate, Pope Francis as a peacemaker has propagated the ideas of human and divine cooperation to build a global human fraternity through his journeys outside the Vatican. This book discusses his endeavours to connect and develop a common peaceful international order between countries, faith communities, and even antagonistic communities through a peaceful journey of human beings. The book analyses his speeches, and meetings as a diplomat of peace, including his visits to Cuba and the United States, and his mediations for peace in Colombia, Myanmar, Kenya, Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Jerusalem, the Central African Republic, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. It discusses the role of Pope Francis as mediator in different circumstances through his own writings, letters, and Vatican documents; his encounters with world leaders; as well as his contributions to a universal understanding on inter-faith dialogue, climate change and the environment, and human migration and the refugee crisis. The volume also sheds light on his ideas on a post-pandemic just social order, as summarised in his 2020 encyclical. A definitive work on the diplomacy and the travels of Pope Francis, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of religious studies, peace and conflict studies, ethics and philosophy, and political science and international relations. It will be of great interest to the general reader as well.
Book Synopsis The Mind of Pope Francis by : Massimo Borghesi
Download or read book The Mind of Pope Francis written by Massimo Borghesi and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A commonly held impression is that Pope Francis is a compassionate shepherd and determined leader but that he lacks the intellectual depth of his recent predecessors. Massimo Borghesi’s The Mind of Pope Francis: Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s Intellectual Journey dismantles that image. Borghesi recounts and analyzes, for the first time, Bergoglio’s intellectual formation, exploring the philosophical, theological, and spiritual principles that support the profound vision at the heart of this pope’s teaching and ministry. Central to that vision is the church as a coincidentia oppositorum, holding together what might seem to be opposing and irreconcilable realities. Among his guiding lights have been the Jesuit saints, Ignatius and Peter Faber; philosophers Gaston Fessard, Romano Guardini, and Alberto Methol Ferrer; and theologians Henri de Lubac and Hans Urs von Balthasar. Recognizing how these various strands have come together to shape the mind and heart of Jorge Mario Bergoglio offers essential insights into who he is and the way he is leading the church. Notably, this groundbreaking book is informed by four interviews provided to the author, via audio recordings, by the pope himself on his own intellectual formation, major portions of which are published here for the first time.

Book excerpt: Pope Francis: A Photographic Portrait of the People's Pope offers a rare look at life behind the scenes with His Holiness Pope Francis.

In Pope Francis: A Photographic Portrait of the People's Pope, this close-up is coupled with the inside knowledge of author Father Michael Collins, a former adviser at the Vatican, who provides a complete look at the workings of the papacy and the Holy City.

Book Synopsis Sharing the Wisdom of Time by : Pope Francis and Friends
Download or read book Sharing the Wisdom of Time written by Pope Francis and Friends and published by Messenger Publications. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas Day 2021 sees the release of a Netflix series, Stories of a Generation with Pope Francis, based on this book. Pope Francis views elders as reservoirs of wisdom and historical memory and believes their insights will offer future generations much-needed understanding and direction. More than 250 people were interviewed and Loyola Press sent a collection of stories to the Vatican. These encompassed universal themes of love, loss, survival, hope, peace in the face of unimaginable tragedy, and above all, faith. Pope Francis received every story, prayed over them, and responded with sensitivity and grace to 31 of the stories and the issues they raise. In his Preface, Pope Francis lays out his reasons for this collection of wisdom stories and the movement he hopes it inspires. He also contributes as a fellow elder, offering a story from his own life at the start of each chapter . And in his own wise and compassionate way, he serves as a spiritual shepherd, commenting on dozens of heartfelt stories.
Download or read book Pilgrimage written by Mark K. Shriver and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A down-to-earth and deeply intimate portrait of Pope Francis and his faith, based on interviews with the men and women who knew him simply as Jorge Mario Bergoglio Early on the evening of March 13, 2013, the newly elected Pope Francis stepped out onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica and did something remarkable: Before he imparted his blessing to the crowd, he asked the crowd to bless him, then bowed low to receive this grace. In the days that followed, Mark K. Shriver—along with the rest of the world—was astonished to see a pope who paid his own hotel bill, eschewed limousines, and made his home in a suite of austere rooms in a Vatican guesthouse rather than the grand papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace. By setting an example of humility and accessibility, Francis breathed new life into the Catholic Church, attracting the admiration of Catholics and non-Catholics alike. In Pilgrimage, Shriver retraces Francis’s personal journey, revealing the origins of his open, unpretentious style and explaining how it revitalized Shriver’s own faith and renewed his commitment to the Church. To help us understand how Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis, Shriver travels to Bergoglio’s native Argentina to meet with the people who knew him as a child, as a young Jesuit priest, and as a reformist bishop. Shriver visits the confessional where Bergoglio first felt called to a faith-based life and takes us to the humble parish where the future pontiff’s pastoral career began: in a church created from a converted vegetable shed in an area just outside the city of Buenos Aires. In these impoverished surroundings, Bergoglio answered Christ’s call to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and shelter the homeless, following the example set by his papal namesake, St. Francis of Assisi. In this deeply reported yet highly personal book, Mark K. Shriver explores how Francis's commitment has struck a chord in the hearts of millions who long to make faith, love, humility, and mercy part of their lives as they go out into the world to serve and learn from the most marginalized. Praise for Pilgrimage “Well-researched . . . Pilgrimage shines a light on [Pope Francis’s] unexplored aspects. . . . A very timely and important addition to the literature on the life and person and thinking of Pope Francis. Everybody interested in Pope Francis will enjoy reading this biography.”—The Washington BookReview “Apt to stir the soul of readers . . . While this is a rich telling of Bergoglio’s life and ascension to the papacy, it is more movingly a spiritual memoir that draws us deep into a knowing of this at once humble and soul-stirring rekindler of faith.”—Chicago Tribune “A fascinating portrait of a man and a nourishing account of spiritual yearning.”—Booklist “This fast-paced and fascinating tale takes us on Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s pilgrimage from his grandmother’s knee in the Italian-Argentine community, through years of success and sorrow in the tumultuous country that he loved, to his surprise election as Pope Francis.”—Cokie Roberts, New York Times bestselling author of Capital Dames: The Civil War and the Women of Washington, 1848–1868 “All people of good faith, including those whose lives are not guided by religious beliefs, will be inspired and enlightened by the compelling manner in which Pilgrimage brings us closer to the heart and mind of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis. I highly recommend this book; it will make a difference in your life.”—Cardinal Seán O’Malley, OFM Cap.

Book Synopsis Poverty, Money, and Ecology as Pillars of Pope Francis' Pontificate (2013–2019) by : Pablo Alberto Baisotti
Download or read book Poverty, Money, and Ecology as Pillars of Pope Francis' Pontificate (2013–2019) written by Pablo Alberto Baisotti and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will deal with arguments that analyze the Vatican policies of Francis, during the first seven years of his pontificate, in relation to some of the most urgent questions concerning humanity: migrants and refugees, the economy, and ecology. The logical choice of the time period for this work is given by Jorge Bergoglio's ascent to the "chair of St. Peter" until the end of 2019. That is why there is an interrelationship between history and the present, since it is written—in part—as his apostolic journeys, interventions, diplomatic actions, and discourses are carried out. To this is added an important quantity of writings of his authorship, as well as of some of his predecessors, in order to frame the question in a historically correct way and to understand his approach to issues of politics and international diplomacy, given his investiture as a religious and—at the same time—political leader

Book Synopsis What is the Synodal Journey? The thought of Pope Francis by : La Civiltà Cattolica
Download or read book What is the Synodal Journey? The thought of Pope Francis written by La Civiltà Cattolica and published by ucanews. This book was released on with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COP26 finished with a compromise agreement that brings us closer to reducing emissions that will limit global warming to -2C but we have a way to go. Hopefully, COP27 at Sharm-el-Sheik in Egypt will deliver even better emission reductions. Fr Gaël Giraud, director of research at CNRS (Center national de la recherche scientifique) and Loïc Giaconne, Georgetown University, explain we need to shift from what Pope Francis calls a “culture of waste” to a “culture of care.” In recent years, several studies have been published on the “genealogy” of Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s thought. Above all, it is inspired by Romano Guardini and the philosopher Gaston Fessard and the ever present influence of Fr. Miguel Ángel Fiorito. Along with three Frenchmen: Henri de Lubac, Michel de Certeau, and the Protestant Paul Ricouer. Fr. Miguel Ángel Fiorito writes about spiritual paternity. A spiritual person, according to Origen, is one in whom theory and practice are united, involving care for one’s neighbor and a spiritual charism for the good of one’s neighbor. The wounds inflicted on the victims by clergy continue to be an ongoing challenge for us. Fr Marcel Uwineza suggests a thoughtful response between to crisis a theology capable of guiding healing and reconciliation. Giovanni Cucci continues his series on the virtues with Justice: An uncomfortable virtue. Fr Cucci proposes justice is best established by means of a new social contract, in which individuals who differ considerably in their sensibilities, habits, cultural and religious affiliations agree on the criteria for the allocation of available resources.
Book Synopsis The Joy of the Gospel by : Pope Francis
Download or read book The Joy of the Gospel written by Pope Francis and published by Image. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
Book Synopsis Communicating Papal Authority in the Middle Ages by : Minoru Ozawa
Download or read book Communicating Papal Authority in the Middle Ages written by Minoru Ozawa and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-17 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bridges Japanese and European scholarly approaches to ecclesiastical history to provide new insights into how the papacy conceptualised its authority and attempted to realise and communicate that authority in ecclesiastical and secular spheres across Christendom. Adopting a broad, yet cohesive, temporal and geographical approach that spans the Early to the Late Middle Ages, from Europe to Asia, the book focuses on the different media used to represent authority, the structures through which authority was channelled and the restrictions that popes faced in so doing, and the less certain expression of papal authority on the edges of Christendom. Through twelve chapters that encompass key topics such as anti-popes, artistic representations, preaching, heresy, the crusades, and mission and the East, this interdisciplinary volume brings new perspectives to bear on the medieval papacy. The book demonstrates that the communication of papal authority was a two-way process effected by the popes and their supporters, but also by their enemies who helped to shape concepts of ecclesiastical power. Communicating Papal Authority in the Middle Ages will appeal to researchers and students alike interested in the relationships between the papacy and medieval society and the ways in which the papacy negotiated and expressed its authority in Europe and beyond.
