Romersk katolicisme og romersk-katolske kirker

Denne bog er en kritisk gennemgang af nogle af de tendenser, som præger den katolske kirkes teologi og praksis i den moderne tid. Det handler om politisk opportunisme, filosemitisme og papisme. Der er nogle helt afgørende lærespørgsmål, som er med til at forhindre kirken i at blive genforenet med de kristne kirker i øst: Havde Maria en fri vilje? Er paven ufejlbarlig? Hvad skal katolikker tro på? Det er nogle af de spørgsmål, som bogen behandler.

Bogen er beregnet til forberedelse til katolsk firmelse og er struktureret omkring frelseshistorien som den"den røde tråd". Bogen er illustreret ikke kun med billeder fra verdenskunsten, men også med tankevækkende små tegneserier.

Pave Johannes Paul II (Karol Józef Wojtyła, 1920-2005, pave fra 1978) var et menneske, der bar mærkerne af det 20. århundredes dramatiske begivenheder på legeme og sjæl: nazismen, kommunismen og terrorismen. I denne bog, der bygger på en række samtaler omkring årtusindskiftet, skænker han os sit åndelige testamente. I ligefremme og personlige betragtninger reflekterer han over eviggyldige spørgsmål som ondskabens mysterium, frihedens gave og Guds barmhjertighed som det sidste, afgørende ord, men også over betydningen af Polens og hele Europas identitet i lyset af Evangeliet og den nyere historie. Bogen var Johannes Paul II's sidste værk, der udkom kort før hans død i 2005. Den udgives nu på dansk i anledning af hans saligkåring i den 1. maj 2011 i Rom. I denanledning er den blevet forøget med et forord af biskop Czeslaw Kozon, der flere gange har mødt Johannes Paul II, og et efterskrift af Torben Riis samt et tillæg af farvefotos fra pontifikatet.

Æthelwold of Winchester is among the most famous Anglo-Saxon saints. During his lifetime he was the Bishop of Winchester and stood as one of the leaders of the tenth-century monastic reform movement with the English church, along with his peers, St. Dunstan and St. Oswald of Worcester. He remains as one of the major figure of the Anglo-Catholic Church and Church of England. St. Aethelwold also stands as one of the primary catalyst for the revival of the English intellectual tradition, which had been in a state of perennial disrepair during the chaos of the Viking era, but was fully restored under royal patronage through the assistance of St. Aethelwold.

Mensajes Secretos y Profecias escondidas de la Santisima Virgen MariaDesde 1986 al presente, el Vaticano ha mantenido el mismo mensaje traído desde el Cielo por diferentes mensajeros a través de largas distancias y continentes. Este mensaje es un eco de las graves amonestaciones y llamadas a la humanidad para que se conviertan y encuentren refugio a través del lenguaje de la verdad , el cual amenaza a la paz en el mundo.Actualmente, en el 2024, el mensaje de La Virgen de la Salette, La Fraudais, Tilly, Fátima, Garabandal, Akita y Medjugorje, y sus secretos, revelan un significado de divina importancia, al igual que las prevenciones entregadas por la santísima Virgen Maria que advierte sobre un catastrófico desastre global que ahora es inminente. El temor de la iglesia al asustar a las masas, la falta de acción y la decisión del silencio romano - fundado más en miedo que en cuidado - ha llevado a millones creyentes a la oscura ignorancia, y esto ha conllevado a la falta de conversión, oraciones, y intersección por la paz.Este libro es una propuesta para relevar la luz, y cuestionar a la humanidad para reaccionar a la llamada de advertencia de nuestra amada madre quien compasivamente busca la salvación de sus hijos.

This book will shock you on the Jewish plot to Destroy Catholicism once and for all. Attack the primary Doctrine of the Sacrament of Baptism (John 3:5) Divinely-taught by Christ (God); with that of the circumcision (of the Jews). Forgeries, Interpolations, Corruption, Bribery, Deceit, Mistranslations, Freemasonry, and many other things by the Jews and their minions have been used to Destroy the Sacrament of Baptism--however, it always fails, why? Christ (God) established One True Church to save mankind from destruction and eternal-death not to mention the pains and torments of Hell. Did the Jews believe that Adam (the first man) was a hermaphrodite? What is the teaching of Jews on Circumcision as opposed to that of Baptism? This and many more reasons to purchase yourself this book and read it.

"My daughters, you all aspire to perfection. But what is your idea of perfection? Do you not often use this word in a vague and even false sense? It trips so lightly into your conversation that each one prides herself on having a very clear conception of it. I am positive, however, that if I were to ask you to define this word, the response would be a confusion of tongues."These are the first words of Monsignor Lejeune in his book Counsels of Perfection for Christian Mothers. Written around a hundred years ago, this book of instructions applies to our corrupt modern age at such great urgency. Where mothers are immensely overwhelmed with haste, worry, and confusion brought about by feminism and capitalism, the deeply respected author exhorts mothers to turn to the Mother of mothers, our Blessed Virgin Mary. The author continues:"Do you ask for an example of a perfect woman? I shall give it to you from the heavenly hierarchy, by recalling the life of Mary, who, in the matter of perfection, is the nearest approach to God. She it is whom I charge to prove my thesis in such a way that you will be clearly persuaded that sanctity does not at all consist in splendor or magnificence or the glitter of exterior things, but rather in an interior principle which animates the most ordinary actions, and communicates to them an almost inestimable value.Consider for a moment the life of Mary......."Read for yourself and begin to rediscover your vocation as a mother and a wife according to the will of God.

Many enquirers in the faith and RCIA members will find the text helpful and informative. It is an ideal complement to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, to which it is amply referenced. I strongly recommend this excellent faith resource." - Most Rev B.J. Hickey, Archbishop Emeritus of Perth"At a time when what the Catholic Church believes and teaches seems perplexing, even absurd to many people, there is a need to explain clearly and simply why the Church believes and teaches what she does. We need a new apologetics.

From an international correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter's Global Sisters Report comes a powerful investigative work into the poignant acts of humanitarianism he witnessed during the Ukrainian war.

In an age of relativism many of life's most pertinent questions have been set aside in favor of leisure, entertainment, and other such trivialities. Despite these attempts at avoiding existential anxiety, one invariably asks himself: Why am I here? Where am I going? Is there a purpose and consequence to my existence?While Catholic apologetical works are common enough, "Eternally One, Eternally Three: An Introductory Journey from Atheism to Catholicism Through the Most Holy Trinity," offers something unique: life's most essential questions are systematically broken down for the average reader in a distinct Trinitarian fashion. Namely:1.The Father Almighty: Can a compelling case indeed be made for belief in the existence of God, or is it just nonsensical and naive superstition?2.The Only Begotten Son: Is one the world's religions more rational and compelling than its counterparts, or is each religion simply a similar path to an identical destination?3.The Holy Spirit: Has a specific denomination been entrusted a charism and sovereignty to resolve disputes regarding faith and morals, or are all expressions of Christianity equally authoritative?In the first section the reader is presented numerous introductory philosophical and scientific arguments for belief in the existence of God, as well as a solution to our human condition. In the second, the reader is presented with a compelling case for the veracity of Christianity, and rationale for why religious pluralism and an individualized spirituality are untenable alternatives to organized religion. In the third section the reader is provided numerous scriptural and Church father quotations which evince the validity of Catholicism and manifest its unmatched historical pedigree. Wherefore, whether you are atheist, agnostic, considering religious conversion, or simply seeking to bolster your Catholic faith, if you are truly seeking the answers to life's most pertinent questions, come and discover the beauty, richness, and depth of Catholicism.

The Prayer of Saint Francis is well known across Christendom. What's it's history? What is the meaning behind it? A great booklet for the laity.

This book serves as a valuable introduction to comprehending the Holy Spirit and offers practical guidance for a Spirit-guided life. It arises from the author's personal struggle with maintaining a lasting connection with the Holy Spirit despite intermittent moments of divine insight. The book underscores the necessity of a consistent prayer life and daily Bible reading to preserve the blessings of the Spirit and cultivate the fruits of the Spirit, as God expects us to bear good fruit. The book emphasizes Jesus's plea to the Father for the Holy Spirit to enable us with a virtuous and fruitful life, turning away from sin and preparing for eternity.In its first part, the book explores the teachings of the Catholic Church concerning the Holy Spirit, including the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit's assistance, and sins against the Holy Spirit. In the subsequent part, it delves into practical strategies for living a Spirit-guided life and maintaining a connection with the Holy Spirit, offering insights into how to remain in the blessings of the Holy Spirit.

This work has emerged from efforts to attend Mass then having to leave with a deep sadness that does not easily go away, and the awareness that I am not alone in this. This book is not intended for anyone who is able to happily participate in the sacramental life of the Church, nor is it intended to encourage anyone to stop doing so. As a faithful Catholic has a right to the sacraments, this ritual is for those faithful members of the People of God who are finding themselves unable to do so and still yearning to, a way to help those of us who feel pushed to the margins. In other words, the purpose of this little book is to help faithful Catholics stay in the Church. The core of this ritual is our identity as priests in the common priesthood of Jesus. Each baptized follower of Jesus the Christ has been anointed priest, prophet, and royal. As vassal kings and queens of the King of kings and queens, each of us has been gifted with power rooted in our imago dei, being created in the image of God with gifts and talents we are meant to use to wash the feet of humanity and participate in God's ongoing creative and healing work. As a prophet each of us will be called to speak a truth that God wants heard by a person, a community, or by the whole world, and speaking this truth will involve risk. As a priest in the common priesthood of Jesus the Christ, each of us is called to be in a personal relationship with the one God and to be in communion with God along with each human we encounter. And as priests we are given the power and duty to forgive, a power we use in the first place at home. The Agape Meal Prayers, probably from the late 1st century AD might be best suited today for what we call a potluck supper or dinner on the ground, where everyone brings what they have and there is equal sharing, or perhaps for large family reunions. The Eucharistic Prayer is from the Apostolic Tradition, from about 215 AD, the prayer that I use regularly in these days. The Anaphora of Addai & Mari, probably also from the 3rd century, is still the core of some Eastern Eucharistic Prayers. While a deacon, priest or bishop is the ordinary minister of Baptism, in cases of necessity even a non-Christian with the intention of doing so for the Church can baptize as long as water and the words (I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit) are used. As a pastor I developed a Candidacy for Confirmation, used sometimes at a Sunday Mass and sometimes at the end of a Confirmation retreat, and offer it here for a sponsor and parents. The ritual for Marriage can be used by an officiant of a civil marriage. It recognizes that the spouses themselves confer the sacrament of marriage onto each other in their mutual exchange of consents, and it is their identity as priests in the common priesthood of believers that empowers them to do so. The Prayers for the Sick and the Commendation of the Dying are not to take the place of the Sacrament of Anointing, but recognize that there will be times when a priest is not available and we trust in God's mercy. Though a Funeral is normally presided over by a priest or deacon, a graveside service can be done by anyone. For the closing Blessings in this book, as with any blessing by the lay faithful, the leader simply signs themselves with the sign of thecross along with everyone else. If prayer is done with a group of people, consider making copies and inviting all present to read the prayers together. From the institutional church I beg patience and forbearance with all of this. I know this is not easy. Please remember that Catholics who feel marginalized are also being asked to continue being patient with our institutional church. For more visit idjc.org.

The Spirit of Catholicism is a classic work on the Catholic Faith by Prof. Dr. Karl Adam of Tübingen University in Germany. It delves into the origins of the Church, its beliefs, history, constitution, doctrine and sacraments.Titled in German Das Wesen des Katholismus (The Essence of Catholicism) it was originally published in 1924 but is still recognized to this day as perhaps the best explanation of Catholicism available to the average man.Dr. Adam does not hesitate to tackle the difficult questions of Catholic belief, such as "no salvation outside the Church" and explains what it means to the non-Catholic Christian of good will who loves God but has not yet recognized his Mother Church, the Catholic Church the mother of Christianity.Recognized as perhaps the greatest theologian of the Twentieth-Century, Prof. Adam's belief and deep seated good will toward all Christians is evident in all of his writings. Anyone who wishes to deepen their faith will do well to read this timeless epic.The edition has been edited for readable paragraphs and includes a subject Index for students and researchers.

Over the course of his time as a simply professed Dominican Friar, Sebastian Condon wrote an article for the local Catholic Newspaper once a month.Those articles are collected here for the first time as a complete volume.They offer a snapshot of religious life at the beginning of the twenty-first century, written by a young friar. Some articles are amusing and light-hearted in tone, others are more weighty and theological.Taken as a whole, these monthly installments demonstrate the lived experience of an eager young friar gradually becoming more reflective, and growing in awareness of the complexities of life and faith.
