This New Saint Joseph Catechism is designed to prepare young
Catholic children for their first communion.
Taking stock of the present moment and the challenges of the
future, a host of leading spiritual writers reflect on the most
pressing spiritual questions of our time. Whether the focus is on
nurturing consciousness, building community, or transforming global
structures, the answers provide a road map for personal, ecclesial,
and social change.
Compiled in honor of Benedictine writer Joan Chittister, the
volume concludes with a moving autobiographical reflection by
Chittister herself, "The Power of Questions to Propel".
First published edition of documents and letters from a
highly-significant incident within the nineteenth-century Catholic
church. The row between Bishop Herbert Vaughan of Salford and the
Jesuits became a cause celebre in the 1870s and was only settled
eventually in Rome after the personal intervention of the pope.
While the immediate issue was the provision of secondary education,
at stake were key questions of authority that had troubled the
English Catholic community for centuries; the solution played a
major part in determining the relationship between the newly
restored bishops and the Religious Orders. This volume brings
together for the first time all the relevant English and foreign
archival sources and enables the reader to take a balanced view of
the whole issue. The documents and letters [including Vaughan's
private diary] paint an intriguing and not always flattering
picture of the principal combatants. Bishop Vaughan [later Cardinal
Archbishop of Westminster] was a determined champion of his own and
his fellow-bishops' rights as diocesan bishops. Against him stood
the leaders of the Jesuit Order, jealous of their traditional
privileges and heirs to centuries of service to the English
Catholic community. By the 1870s that community wasbeginning to
develop a commercial and professional middle class who demanded
secondary education for their children. Many of them looked to the
Jesuits to provide it and they claimed the right to do so,
irrespective of the wishesand rights of the bishop. The source
material is accompanied by an introduction placing them into their
social and historical context, and explanatory notes. It forms an
important addition to an understanding of the nineteenth-century
English Catholic Church. Father Martin John Broadley is a priest in
the Catholic diocese of Salford; he also lectures at the University
of Manchester.

In this addition to the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture,
two well-respected New Testament scholars interpret the Gospel of
John in its historical and literary setting as well as in light of
the Church's doctrinal, liturgical, and spiritual tradition. They
unpack the wisdom of the Fourth Gospel for the intellectual and
spiritual transformation of its readers and connect the Gospel with
a range of witnesses throughout the whole history of Catholicism.
This volume, like each in the series, is supplemented by features
designed to help readers understand the Bible more deeply and use
it more effectively in teaching, preaching, evangelization, and
other forms of ministry.
