Neuroteología católica

Autor: Andrew Newberg , Mary Clare Smith

Número de Páginas: 435

El tema de la neuroteología ha visto incrementada su popularidad en los ámbitos académicos, religiosos y divulgativos. Este campo de estudio investiga la intersección entre el cerebro y el fenómeno espiritual y religioso. Sin embargo, no se ha intentado de manera exhaustiva explorar específicamente cómo el pensamiento y la experiencia católica pueden estar relacionados con la neuroteología. El propósito de 'Neuroteología Católica' es abordar íntegramente esta área inexplorada. Los temas se relacionan con un enfoque neuroteológico de creencias fundamentales del catolicismo derivadas de la Escritura y la Tradición, una exploración de los diversos elementos del catolicismo, de los rituales y prácticas católicas, así como una revisión de la espiritualidad y el misticismo católico. Se ha tenido en consideración a diferentes académicos especializados en cuanto a la relación entre sus ideas o enseñanzas y los distintos procesos mentales. En 'Neuroteología Católica' se abordan estos temas de una manera accesible, incorporando aspectos científicos, religiosos, filosóficos y teológicos dentro del campo emergente de la neuroteología. Al revisar estos conceptos ...

La religión en letra de molde

Autor: Carolina Cherniavsky B.

Número de Páginas: 378

El presente libro tiene por objetivo el estudio sobre las transformaciones que supuso en el plano de la religión, la ampliación de la lectura y la cultura impresa durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX en Chile. A partir de tres pilares temáticos fundamentales, la investigación intenta dar cuenta cómo la religión católica decimonónica quedó impresa en letra de molde. Estas aristas son: el estudio del discurso y la representación que la Iglesia católica diocesana de Santiago construyó sobre la lectura y los lectores; el análisis del Corpus de los variados impresos católicos producidos en Chile durante el período; y los registros de los textos que solicitaron la licencia de impresión eclesiástica.

Y sin embargo no se mueve

Autor: Milenko Bernadic Cvitkovic

Número de Páginas: 398

Increíble, pero cierto. Ningún experimento explícitamente diseñado para tal propósito ha demostrado jamás que la Tierra se mueve. En otras palabras, lo que usted ve en el cielo, es pura realidad, así es. El modelo geocéntrico de Tycho Brahe (ligeramente modificado) resulta cierto. Galileo erró ciertamente. Esta verdad, tan evidente y tan incómoda para determinados sectores no científicos sino cientificistas, tiene serias y directas consecuencias para la filosofía, ciencia moderna, y particularmente para la exégesis bíblica. Una lectura apasionada que le mantendrá en vilo hasta el final, un descubrimiento de lo que ya sabe, aunque no se lo pueda creer. Tal vez ahora le resulte algo más fácil o al menos sorprendentemente fresco: todo el universo fue hecho para usted, por amor.

Freedom of Speech in Practice

Autor: Anthony Gray

Número de Páginas: 267

This book considers the application of free speech principles in controversial contexts discussing United States law and equivalent law in Europe, Canada and Australia. Anthony Gray examines the extent to which speech of public sector employees is and should be protected. He tackles the difficult question of hate speech and the degree to which regulation of it has been permitted, and should be permitted. The growing controversy of speech in a university setting is discussed along with the roles campuses play in fostering intellectual debate which democracies depend on. Lastly, Gray looks at free speech issues at stake in the exponential growth of online activity and analyzes questions the of liability these tech companies have and their role as facilitators of mass communication, to what extent does the first amendment even apply, and the potential of the internet to support democratic traditions. Overall, Gray finds that in these several key areas, free speech rights are not as strongly protected as they should be. Courts have often bowed to decision makers balancing away free speech rights in favor of other objectives and instead need to re-assert the importance of free speech...

Roman Catholicism in America

Autor: Chester Gillis

Número de Páginas: 416

Who are American Catholics and what do they believe and practice? How has American Catholicism influenced and been influenced by American culture and society? This book examines the history of American Catholics from the colonial era to the present, with an emphasis on changes and challenges in the contemporary church. Chester Gillis chronicles America Catholics: where they have come from, how they have integrated into American society, and how the church has influenced their lives. He highlights key events and people, examines data on Catholics and their relationship to the church, and considers the church’s positions and actions on politics, education, and gender and sexuality in the context of its history and doctrines. This second edition of Roman Catholicism in America pays particular attention to the tumultuous past twenty years and points toward the future of the religion in the United States. It examines the unprecedented crisis of sexual abuse by priests—the legal, moral, financial, and institutional repercussions of which continue to this day—and the bishops’ role in it. Gillis also discusses the election of Pope Francis and the controversial role Catholic...

My Struggle for Freedom

Autor: Hans Kng

Número de Páginas: 538

Hans Kung is undoubtedly one of the most important theologians of our time, but he has always been a controversial figure, and as the result of a much-publicized clash over papal infallability had his permission to teach revoked by the Vatican. Yet at seventy-five he is also something like a senior statesman, one of the 'Group of Eminent Persons' convened by the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and a friend of heads of government like Tony Blair and President Mubarak of Egypt. In this autobiography he gives a frank and outspoken account of the first four decades of his life. He tells of his youth in Switzerland and his decision to become a priest, his doubts and struggles as he studied in Rome and Paris, and his experiences as a professor in Tubingen, where he received a chair at the amazingly early age of thirty-one. Most importantly, as one of the last surviving eye witnesses he gives an authentic account of the struggles behind the scenes at the Second Vatican Council, in which he took part as a theological expert. Here it becomes clear just how major an influence he was, to the point of shaping the Council's agenda and drafting speeches for bishops to deliver in plenary...

Impostures mystiques

Autor: Joachim Bouflet

Número de Páginas: 395

La fraude mystique est un phénomène récurrent dans l'histoire de l'Eglise. Mais aujourd'hui, face à la sécularisation de la société, elle se multiplie et elle revêt des formes qui prétendent répondre à l'angoisse des hommes. Elle n'en est que plus dangereuse. Les cas de fraude mystique ne sont malheureusement pas isolés dans l'histoire de l'Église. Certains miracles, visions, messages ou autres phénomènes en apparence surnaturels, qui fascinent aisément, ont décidément un revers obscur. Dans les pires cas, ils ne sont pas autre chose que l'oeuvre de faussaires habiles et manipulateurs à l'extrême. Si, à côté des affaires les plus médiatisées, de nombreux dossiers restent méconnus des non-initiés, ils ne peuvent pour autant être ignorés. Trop souvent, face à des débuts de dérive sectaire, l'opinion publique et les institutions ecclésiales se sont tues – par indifférence ou apathie, si ce n'est par complaisance. Les conséquences sont pourtant bien réelles, et parfois très graves : emprise psychologique ou spirituelle, abus financiers ou sexuels... Reste à comprendre comment on a pu en arriver là. C'est ce que nous propose cette étude...

Galileo's Inquisition Trial Revisited

Autor: Jules Speller

Número de Páginas: 436

This book shows that the known accounts of Galileo's trial leave many important facts unexplained or even clash with them. A most careful reading of the relevant documents and treatises backs an interpretation which has Pope Urban VIII sue Galileo for denying God's omnipotence or His omniscience by admitting the «absolute truth» of Copernicanism. The Pope's opinion results from an argument he fully trusts, together with his belief that Galileo failed to fulfill a condition to which the publication of the Dialogue was subjected. That the trial does not end with a conviction for Urban's awful «formal heresy» but merely for «vehement suspicion of heresy», with the «heresy» consisting in the pseudo-heretical belief in a doctrine contrary to the Bible, all this is due to the existence of a Galileo-friendly party inside the Holy Office, led by Cardinal Francesco Barberini and powerful enough to wring a compromise from the Pope.

Church, state and social science in Ireland

Autor: Peter Murray , Maria Feeney

Número de Páginas: 237

The immense power the Catholic Church once wielded in Ireland has considerably diminished over the last fifty years. During the same period the Irish state has pursued new economic and social development goals by wooing foreign investors and throwing the state's lot in with an ever-widening European integration project. How a less powerful church and a more assertive state related to one another during the key third quarter of the twentieth century is the subject of this book. Drawing on newly available material, it looks at how social science, which had been a church monopoly, was taken over and bent to new purposes by politicians and civil servants. This case study casts new light on wider processes of change, and the story features a strong and somewhat surprising cast of characters ranging from Sean Lemass and T.K. Whitaker to Archbishop John Charles McQuaid and Father Denis Fahey.

Blessed Guilt

Autor: James H. Kurt

Número de Páginas: 129

Here is the story of a man on the way of conversion. Though vaguely autobiographical, it is not intended to portray the particulars of any life but to address the journey all souls undergo in moving from the ways of the world – which lead to destruction – to the path of salvation wrought in Christ’s blood. The key step on this journey (to which one must continually return) is life-giving repentance: one must recognize one’s own complicity in the crucifixion of Jesus, and turn to Him for forgiveness. The Son of God has come to save all men from sin, but we cannot find His cleansing blood upon our souls if we fail to see first His blood upon our hands. Only in this way does our guilt become blessed. I pray His blood upon you, my brother, my sister...
