    ecclesiology 14 (2018) 203-211 ECCLESIOLOGY brill.com/ecso Article Reviews ∵ Walter Kasper on the Catholic Church Susan K. Wood Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, usa [email protected] Walter Kasper The Catholic Church: Nature, Reality and Mission, trans. Thomas Hoebel (London and New York: Bloomsbury, T&T Clark, 2015), xviii + 463 pp. isbn 978-1-4411-8709-3 (pbk). $54.95. The Catholic Church: Nature – Reality – Mission, following more than twenty years after Jesus the Christ and The God of Jesus Christ, is the third volume of a trilogy, their Christological unity indicated by their German titles: Jesus Der Christus (1974), Der Gott Jesu Christi (1982) and Die Kirche Jesu Christi (2008). Life had intervened in the interim, first by Kasper’s service as bishop of Rottenburg- Stuttgart (1989–1999), followed by eleven years with the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity (1999–2010) where he was its cardinal prefect from 2001. This interim period also included his work as theological secretary of the Extraordinary Synod (1985) which had identified communio as a central theme and guiding principle of the Second Vatican Council. His life in and for the church had interrupted his theological work on a systematic treatise on the church, fortuitous for an ecclesiology that not only reflects develop- ment since the Second Vatican Council, but also aims to be an existential ec- clesiology relevant for both the individual and society. He comments that an ecclesiology for today must perceive the crisis of the Church manifested by decreasing church attendance, decline in participation in the sacraments, and priest shortages in connection with the crises of today’s world in a post- Constantinian time (p.

  • This Article First Presents the Status Questionis of the Issue of Communion for the Remarried Divorcees
    EUCHARISTIC COMMUNION FOR THE REMARRIED D IVORCEES: IS AMORIS LAETITIA THE FINAL ANSWER? RAMON D. ECHICA This article first presents the status questionis of the issue of communion for the remarried divorcees. There is an interlocution between the affirmative answer represented by Walter Kasper and the negative answer represented by Carlo Caffara and Gerhard Mueller. The article then offers two theological concepts not explicitly mentioned in Amoris Laetitia to buttress the affirmative answer. INTRODUCTION THE CONTEXT OF THE ISSUE rom the Synod of the Family of 2014, then followed by a bigger Fsynod on the same subject a year after, up to the issuance of the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia (AL), what got the most media attention was the issue of the reception of Eucharistic communion by divorcees, whose marriages have never been declared null by the Church and who have entered a second (this time purely civil or state) marriage. The issue became the subject matter of some reasoned theological discourse but also of numerous acrimonious debates. Three German bishops, namely Walter Kasper, Karl Lehman and Oskar Saier were the first prominent hierarchical members who openly raised the issue through a pastoral letter in 1993.1Nothing much came out of it until Pope Francis signaled his 1 Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger thumbed down the proposal in 1994.

  • Oblates to Celebrate Life of Mother Mary Lange,Special Care Collection
    Oblates to celebrate life of Mother Mary Lange More than 30 years before the Emancipation Proclamation, Mother Mary Lange fought to establish the first religious order for black women and the first black Catholic school in the United States. To honor the 126th anniversary of their founder’s death, the Oblate Sisters of Providence have planned a Feb. 3 Mass of Thanksgiving at 1 p.m., which will be celebrated by Cardinal William H. Keeler in the Our Lady of Mount Providence Convent Chapel in Catonsville. The Mass will be followed by a reception, offering guests the opportunity to view Mother Mary Lange memorabilia. A novena will also be held Jan. 25-Feb. 2 in the chapel. Sister M. Virginie Fish, O.S.P., and several of her colleagues in the Archdiocese of Baltimore have devoted nearly 20 years to working on the cause of canonization for Mother Mary Lange, who, along with Father James Hector Joubert, S.S., founded the Oblate Sisters in 1829. With the help of two other black women, Mother Mary Lange also founded St. Frances Academy, Baltimore, in 1828, which is the first black Catholic school in the country and still in existence. Sister Virginie said the sisters see honoring Mother Mary Lange as a fitting way to kick-start National Black History Month. Father John Bowen, S.S., postulator for Mother Mary Lange’s cause, completed the canonization application three years ago and sent it to Rome, where it is currently under review. There is no timetable for the Vatican to complete or reject sainthood for Mother Mary Lange, Father Bowen said.
