'The canonization of Newman is no conventional accolade to a very pious man. Newman strove all his life after holiness, but he had more than his share of human frailties. He could be tyrannical in friendship, he was thin-skinned and easily offended, slow to forgive, even at times implacable. Canonizations always have a point, which is often political, in the broadest sense. Newman believed passionately that religion without dogma slid inexorably into mere sentiment, and it would be possible to portray him as the patron saint of dogmatism, a model for the tame theologian anxiously eager to stay within the bounds of orthodoxy. But that would be a radical misunderstanding of his life's work. Newman possessed one of the most original Christian minds of modern times, indeed of any time. His significance for the Catholic Church, and for all the churches, is neither as a model of mere piety, nor as a paragon of conformist orthodoxy, but specifically as a teacher and exemplar of Christian thinking at the edge; for the patient, generous, attentive and interrogative mind he brought to bear on the questions of good and evil, meaning and purpose, that are the heart of religion.'--book jacket.

"Giovanni Morone (1509-80) ebbe un'esistenza in apparenza paradossale: due volte legato papale al concilio di Trento - che chiuse nel 1563 salvandolo dal fallimento cui pareva destinato - fu oggetto di gravi accuse di eresia sfociate in due processi inquisitoriali voluti dai papi-inquisitori del suo tempo, Paolo IV (che lo rinchiuse per oltre due anni in Castel Sant'Angelo) e Pio V. Solo la stima e l'appoggio dei sovrani asburgici (il re di Spagna Filippo II e l'imperatore Ferdinando I) gli permisero di sfuggire alla condanna e di tornare a tenere le redini dei principali avvenimenti coevi: dall'alleanza che portò alla battaglia di Lepanto alla crisi della repubblica di Genova. Impareggiabile diplomatico formatosi nella Milano degli Sforza, protagonista dei colloqui di religione nella Germania sconvolta da Lutero, amico di Vittoria Colonna e committente di Michelangelo, vescovo riformatore, Morone fu uomo di grande prestigio europeo, la cui memoria è stata tuttavia riproposta solo in chiave di esemplare prelato cattolico, rimuovendo i drammatici conflitti interni alla gerarchia ecclesiastica che segnarono la sua vita ed ebbero un peso decisivo nel delineare l'identità della Chiesa cattolica nella lunga età della Controriforma." --

Remembering Wolsey seeks to contribute to our understanding of historical memory and memorialization by examining in detail the commemoration and representation of the life of Thomas Wolsey, the sixteenth-century cardinal, papal legate, and lord chancellor of England. Hornbeck surveys a wide range of representations of Cardinal Wolsey, from those contemporary with his death to recent mass-market appearances on television and historical fiction, to go beyond previous scholarship that has examined Wolsey only in an early modern context.Remembering Wolsey contributes significantly to the ongoing reimagining of English church history in the years prior to the Reformation. Surveying chronicle accounts, pamphlets, plays, poems, historical fictions, works of historical scholarship, civic pageants and monuments, films, and television programs, the book shows how an extended sequence of authors have told widely varying stories about Wolsey’s life, often through the lens of their own religious and ideological commitments and/or in response to the pressing concerns of their times.

"Quando, nel giugno 1960, Giovanni XXIII nominò il cardinale Augustin Bea a capo del Segretariato per l'unità dei cristiani, molti, come il domenicano Yves Congar, restarono sbalorditi da quella che ritenevano una singolare scelta. Cosa aveva a che fare un porporato settantanovenne, esegeta conservatore tra i più fidati collaboratori di Pio XII e suo confessore personale, con la primavera ecumenica che dal Vaticano II, e proprio da quel Segretariato, ci si attendeva? Eppure il gesuita tedesco si sarebbe in breve tempo rivelato uno dei protagonisti più autorevoli del rinnovamento conciliare e tra gli interpreti più fedeli dell'eredità roncalliana. Cosa si cela dunque dietro quella che agli occhi di molti apparve come un'improvvisa conversione? Proprio tale interrogativo, che la storiografia ha indicato come "l'enigma Bea", è al centro dell'indagine del volume, che, sulla base della documentazione degli archivi privati (tra cui l'inedito carteggio con il vescovo di Paderborn Lorenz Jaeger pubblicato integralmente in appendice), ricostruisce l'attività del gesuita nel decennio precedente al concilio, quando, dal 1949, era consultore del Sant'Uffizio. Quello che emerge è un originale profilo del futuro cardinale, divenuto progressivamente avvocato e intercessore dell'ecumenismo cattolico, in particolare tedesco, durante l'ultimo periodo del pontificato pacelliano. Fu proprio in quegli "anni di pazienza" che Augustin Bea maturò gradualmente le competenze e i contatti in ambito ecumenico che nel 1960 lo avrebbero reso tra i più stimati collaboratori di Giovanni XXIII e paladino di quell'ecumenismo destinato a rivoluzionare la chiesa cattolica durante il Vaticano II."
