This empirical study explores how the sampled priests understand
their priesthood. Chris A. Fallon reviews Liverpool's history of
expansion and decline, which has left fewer and older priests
serving fewer active Catholics and an undiminished number who still
require baptisms, first communions, marriages and funerals. It
contrasts the models of priesthood found in Liverpool with American
studies of the cultic and servant leader models of priesthood,
taking into account the theological viewpoints and personality
profiles of the individuals who took part.
This booklet will show your children how to go to confession, at
the same time laying out the meaning and the purpose of this
practice in the Catholic Church.
Popular, accurate and readable, the NRSV is the bible for all
Catholics. The NRSV maintains the long tradition of accurate Bible
translation. It is formal enough to convey the meaning of the
original Greek and Hebrew text, yet contemporary enough to meet the
needs of Catholics today. The New Revised Standard Version of the
Bible is steadily increasing in popularity. It is highly respected
among academics and used in theological colleges across the board
as the most accurate translation available. It has been widely
adopted across the Church. The NRSV is ideal for public and private
reading, for group study and for academic work.
