Abstract

This book offers a unique overview on the career and work on Benedict XII, the third pope of Avignon. Benedict XII (ca. 1334-1342) was a key figure of the Avignon papal court, renowned for rooting out heretics and distinguishing himself as a refined theologian. During his reign, he faced the most significant religious and political challenges in the era of the Avignon papacy: theological quarrels, divisions and schisms within the Church, conflicts between European sovereigns, and the growth of Turkish power in the East. In spite of its diminished political influence, the papacy, which had recently moved to France, emerged as an institution committed to the defense and expansion of the Catholic faith in Europe and the East. Benedict made significant contributions to the definition of doctrine, the assessment of pontifical power in Western Europe, and the expansion of Catholicism in the East: in all these different contexts he distinguished himself as a true guardian of orthodoxy.

Abstract

Als Jacques Duèze am 7. August 1316 zum Papst gewählt wurde, war er bereits 72 Jahre alt. Die Kardinäle hatten ihn als Kompromiss- und Übergangskandidaten vorgesehen, dessen absehbarer Tod eine neue Wahl ermöglichen würde, doch diese Erwartung wurde gründlich enttäuscht. Als Papst Johannes XXII. regierte er 18 Jahre und war der bedeutendste der in Avignon residierenden Päpste. In vielen Tätigkeitsbereichen engagiert und vielen Konflikten ausgesetzt, perfektionierte er die päpstliche Kurie, erweiterte die Möglichkeiten päpstlicher Einflussnahme und suchte die päpstliche Vollgewalt in praktisches Handeln umzusetzen.Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes tragen zu einer neuen Bewertung des Pontifikat Papst Johannes' XXII. bei. Sichtbar wird ein umfassendes Konzept des Pontifikats, das die bisher in der Forschung getroffenen Urteile von juristischer Intransigenz und machtpolitischer Optimierung übersteigt: Es ist das Konzept einer langfristigen Implantierung von Regeln und Verfahren auf der Basis der religiösen Begründung des päpstlichen Amtes.

Abstract

In The Lonely Cold War of Pope Pius XII Peter Kent shows how the Catholic Church was able to continue to exist on both sides of the Iron Curtain in spite of the division of Europe after the Second World War. Although Christian democracy became increasingly influential in western Europe, the struggle to preserve the position and rights of the Church in the east was much more difficult. When east European governments, under Moscow's direction, began their offensive against the independence of the Church in 1948, the papacy found that it stood alone, with little assistance from the U.S. Kent offers a new assessment of Pius XII, extending the study of his career and papacy beyond the Second World War. He also examines the origins of the Cold War, the European perspective on American and Soviet policies, and the diplomatic role and influence of the Roman Catholic Church.

Abstract

Since being elected to the Chair of St. Peter on March 13, 2013, Pope Francis has given unique shape to the meaning of the new evangelization. With his emphasis on the concept of encounter, and his stunning expression of pastoral ministry in Evangelii gaudium, the present pontiff has breathed new life into the Christian vocation to evangelize. This book brings together the voices of fifteen American Catholic scholars around the theme of Pope Francis and the Event of Encounter. Inaugurating the new series, Global Perspectives on the New Evangelization, this book incorporates a variety of approaches and questions in order to amplify the theology behind the pontificate of Pope Francis and the most recent developments in the new evangelization. Among the topics treated in the book are mercy, ecology, doctrine, culture, and the life and ministry of Jorge Mario Bergoglio. The reader will be delighted with an array of perspectives that promise to give inspiration for embarking on further frontiers of the new evangelization. --Book cover.

Abstract

This book is the first cultural history of papal authority in late antiquity. While most traditional histories posit a 'rise of the papacy' and examine popes as politicians, theologians and civic leaders, Kristina Sessa focuses on the late Roman household and its critical role in the development of the Roman church from c.350-600. She argues that Rome's bishops adopted the ancient elite household as a model of good government for leading the church. Central to this phenomenon was the classical and biblical figure of the steward, the householder's appointed agent who oversaw his property and people. As stewards of God, Roman bishops endeavored to exercise moral and material influence within both the pope's own administration and the households of Italy's clergy and lay elites. This original and nuanced study charts their manifold interactions with late Roman households and shows how bishops used domestic knowledge as the basis for establishing their authority as Italy's singular religious leaders.
