The premise of the book -- looking at the state of the Catholic Church by examining the lives of 6 of the cardinals attending the conclave to elect Pope Benedict XVI - is an interesting idea, but I found it lacking. Though he draws more universal truths from the stories of the various cardinals, such as an interesting discussion of the emergence and subsequent snuffing of liberation theology in Latin America, I found the experience of the congregations needed more attention to fully explain where we are as a church today. If you are interested in the details of the election of our current Pope, however, this is an excellent source. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
A deeply informed look at the intensifying struggle over the future of the Catholic Church. Robert Blair Kaiser examines the most important and divisive issues confronting the Church: the sex abuse scandal, a shortage of priests due to the insistence upon celibacy, the ban on contraception, the roles of women in the Church, the increased participation of laypeople in Church affairs. He gives us an in-depth and behind-the-scenes view of six of the cardinals who gathered in Rome in April 2005 to choose a new pope and through them makes clear why Catholics worldwide are increasingly leaving the Church or defying Church doctrine. With passion and heartfelt concern, Robert Blair Kaiser brilliantly illuminates the issues and the combatants in the battle for the soul of the Catholic world. No library descriptions found. |
