DOWNLOAD EBOOKArchbishop Dolan clearly sets forth what it takes to be a Catholic priest in the Third Millennium. Whether he is stressing the necessity of regular Confession and the need to celebrate daily Mass and say the Liturgy of the Hours or discussing priestly celibacy in frank, realistic terms, he emphasizes true priest identity by presenting a life worth living, a life worth sharing, a life worth offering up to the Father through Christ and in the Holy Spirit. Pastoral, practical, and thoroughly Catholic, Priests for the Third Millennium will renew the joy of being Catholic in the heart of seminarians, priests, and the people they serve.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat is Catholicism? And where is the Catholic Church headed in the third millennium? These two questions provide the structure for Thomas Rausch's Catholicism in the Third Millennium. Here Rausch combines a faithful presentation of the tradition with a critical theological reflection and interpretation of where the Church is today and where it might be moving. Catholicism in the Third Millennium offers an appreciation of the forces and movements that have shaped, and continue to influence, the ongoing change and development of Roman Catholicism. Chief among these is the influence of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) in reshaping Catholicism. This revised edition includes updated text from Rausch's Catholicism at the Dawn of the Third Millennium particularly the final chapter on "The Unfinished Agenda" of Vatican II. Each chapter concludes with focus questions developed by Catherine E. Clifford of St. Paul's University, Ottawa. This experience of guided reading provides readers with a broad survey of Roman Catholic faith and practice in its contemporary context. For readers who wish to compare particular passages of this volume with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, an outline is provided in an appendix, with references to the appropriate sections of the Catechism. A second appendix offers a glossary of terms used in the book, while a third appendix lists a number of basic works for further investigation of Catholic faith and life. Chapters are "The Church and the Council," "Faith and the Believing Community," "A Visible Church," "A Living Tradition," "Sacraments and Christian nitiation," "Christian Life and Discipleship," "Sin, Forgiveness, and Healing," "Sexual Morality and Social Justice," "Prayer and Spirituality," "The Fullness of Christian Hope," and "The Unfinished Agenda." Includes Appendix I: Outlook of Book, with References to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Appendix II: Glossary of Terms, and Appendix III: Basic Reference Works on Catholicism. An Index of Names, and an Index of Subjects are also included. Thomas P. Rausch, SJ, PhD, is professor of theology at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. He is the author of Catholicism at the Dawn of the Third Millennium, Reconciling Faith and Reason, and editor of the bestselling The College Student's Introduction to Theology published by Liturgical Press. Catherine E. Clifford, PhD, is a professor of theology at St. Paul's University in Ottawa, Ontario.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBorn from the side of Jesus, pierced on the cross, the church is the living body of Christ. Like Jesus himself, it is both eternal and temporal, spiritual and material, spotless and wounded. Constituted as an integrated, living body, the church is the sacrament of Christ; that is, it reveals Christ to the world and makes him present in the world. It exists in order to evangelize and does this most effectively when its diverse members are united in love. This collection of chapters from scholars from diverse fields offers a fresh approach to Catholic ecclesiology. It is hoped that the reader of this book will discover anew the beauty of the church, a living body always old and ever new.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Test everything; hold fast to what is good; abstain from evil.’’ 1 Thessalonians 5:21 The renowned Cardinal Pell, Archbishop of Sydney, recently appointed by Pope Francis as Prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy at the Vatican, challenges readers with St. Paul’s words in these powerful reflections to consider some of the "ultimate" questions that confront us all: Why are we here? What is the purpose of life, amidst suffering and death? What is the good we should hold onto, and the evil to abstain from? Reaching out to youth, as well as people of all ages, faiths, and experiences, and using an engaging style mixed with a keen 'Aussie' wit--"rooster today, feather duster tomorrow"- -Cardinal Pell writes as a seasoned story-teller, expert historian, insightful scholar, patriot par excellence, and outstanding Churchman. His advice to all is credible, practical, necessary, and helpful: "Search for genuine love and service"; "Do not follow the crowd"; "Reject evil,"; and most importantly, "Remember to pray." He reminds Christians that "Every lover must be a fighter . . . We know that evil will triumph if good people do nothing." To those harboring doubts or tempted to disbelief he brings steadfast encouragement: "The Christian vision does not deceive: if it comes slowly, wait, for it will come without fail." Among the many interesting topics he discusses are: Mystery of the Trinity; Old Testament Prophets; Jesus Christ, Our Redeemer; Triumph of the Cross; Meaning of Suffering; The Eucharist: Heart of our Faith; Praying the Psalms; Faith and Science; Love and Life; Mary, Mother of God; Christians in Public Life; The Papacy; Saints and Martyrs; Humanae Vitae, and much more. Cardinal Pell's overall message points us to the Cross of Christ as the unique and final measure of what it means to be human, and thus holy.Cardinal Pell, modern man of faith, vision and action, inspires readers with St. Paul to go deeper and to "Test Everything, Hold Fast to What Is Good."
