SCHILTZ† In recent decades, a strand of feminist theory variously referred to as “care feminism,” “cultural feminism,” or “relational feminism” has been arguing for a social re-evaluation of what has traditionally been regarded as “women’s work”—the care of dependents, such as children and elderly or disabled family members. As part of that project, a number of feminists have suggested that the traditional liberal theory of justice, based on the ideal of autonomous, independent actors, should be rejected, or at least revised to reflect the reality of dependency in the life of every individual. Recent books offering such alternative, dependency-based theories of justice include: Joan Tronto, Moral Boundaries: A Political Argument for an Ethic of Care;1 Eva Feder Kittay, Love’s Labor;2 Robin L. -

Philosophical Anthropology and Evangelium Vitae
ACTA PHILOSOPHICA, vol. 12 (2003), fasc. 2 - PAGG. 311-322 Philosophical Anthropology and Evangelium Vitae WILLIAM E. MAY* ■ The purpose of this presentation is to articulate the philosophical anthropolo- gy underlying the teaching of Pope John Paul II in his encyclical Evangelium vitae and to contrast this understanding of the human person with the philosoph- ical anthropology underlying the “culture of death.” I will begin by considering the anthropology at the heart of the culture of death, continue by offering a critique of this utterly false and dualistic under- standing of the human person and setting forth the key elements central to the realistic and integral anthropology at the heart of the teaching found in Evangelium vitae. 1. The Anthropology Underlying the Culture of Death John Paul II explicitly and accurately identifies this anthropology in the first chapter of Evangelium vitae, a chapter entitled Present-Day Threats to Human Life. In identifying this anthropology he likewise sketches the authentic anthro- pology of his encyclical. The Pope goes to the root causes of these threats, declar- ing that the culture of death has its roots in «the mentality which carries the con- cept of subjectivity to an extreme and even distorts it, and recognizes as a subject of rights only the person who enjoys full or at least incipient autonomy and who emerges from a state of total dependence on others» (no. 19). It is a mentality «which tends to equate personal dignity with the capacity for verbal and explic- it, or at least perceptible, communication» (no. 19). It is likewise rooted in a «notion of freedom which exalts the individual in an absolute way, and gives no * Michael J. -

Portier, Ph.D. In its analysis of mystical body of Christ theology in the twentieth century, this dissertation identifies three major streams of mystical body theology operative in the early part of the century: the Roman, the German-Romantic, and the French-Social- Liturgical. Delineating these three streams of mystical body theology sheds light on the diversity of scholarly positions concerning the heritage of mystical body theology, on its mid twentieth-century recession, as well as on Pope Pius XII’s 1943 encyclical, Mystici Corporis Christi, which enshrined “mystical body of Christ” in Catholic magisterial teaching. Further, it links the work of Virgil Michel and Louis-Marie Chauvet, two scholars remote from each other on several fronts, in the long, winding French stream. -
Gerard Mannion Is to Be Congratulated for This Splendid Collection on the Papacy of John Paul II
“Gerard Mannion is to be congratulated for this splendid collection on the papacy of John Paul II. Well-focused and insightful essays help us to understand his thoughts on philosophy, the papacy, women, the church, religious life, morality, collegiality, interreligious dialogue, and liberation theology. With authors representing a wide variety of perspectives, Mannion avoids the predictable ideological battles over the legacy of Pope John Paul; rather he captures the depth and complexity of this extraordinary figure by the balance, intelligence, and comprehensiveness of the volume. A well-planned and beautifully executed project!” —James F. Keenan, SJ Founders Professor in Theology Boston College Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts “Scenes of the charismatic John Paul II kissing the tarmac, praying with global religious leaders, addressing throngs of adoring young people, and finally dying linger in the world’s imagination. This book turns to another side of this outsized religious leader and examines his vision of the church and his theological positions. Each of these finely tuned essays show the greatness of this man by replacing the mythological account with the historical record. The straightforward, honest, expert, and yet accessible analyses situate John Paul II in his context and show both the triumphs and the ambiguities of his intellectual legacy. This masterful collection is absolutely basic reading for critically appreciating the papacy of John Paul II.” —Roger Haight, SJ Union Theological Seminary New York “The length of John Paul II’s tenure of the papacy, the complexity of his personality, and the ambivalence of his legacy make him not only a compelling subject of study, but also a challenging one. -
Biblical Reflections on Co-Creating with the Redeemer
panel i co-cReaTing wiTh The cReaToR 14 Biblical Reflections on Co-Creating with the Redeemer williaM s. kuRz, sJ, phd Professor, Department of Theology, Marquette University with anne caRpenTeR With gratitude for Anne Carpenter’s research and editorial assistance absTRacT he Bible does not explicitly answer questions about co-creating with God and discerning whether to try to have children. In consulting Scripture regarding con- temporary concerns, one needs to go beyond histori- cal exegesis. Reading Scripture as God’s Word requires Tseeking what God, the divine author of all of Scripture, is currently saying in the biblical passages under study. The primary foundation for biblical teaching about marriage and family is Genesis, especially concerning God’s original intention in creating marriage (Gen 1-2). Humans are created in the image of God as male and female, and marriage is the two becoming one flesh. 230 Science, Faith, & Human Fertility Most of Scripture treats adjustments that were made after mar- riage and family were gravely wounded by human rebellion against the Creator’s plan (Gen 3). The Book of Ruth demonstrates the broader familial contexts and purposes of marriage beyond the couple. The Song of Songs is a powerful poem celebrating the passion, emotion, and love in court- ship and marriage. The prophet Hosea portrays the relation of God to his people as that of the covenant between husband and bride, on which the New Testament Letter to the Ephesians builds, in compar- ing Christian marriage to the mystery or sacrament of Christ’s mar- riage covenant with his bride, the Church. -

SEXUAL CONFUSION • Sticker: Your body may be a temple, but mine’s an amusement park. • Meeting the challenge of our age ➢ Common notion of God as a sexual killjoy rather that the Creator of sexuality for our enjoyment ➢ Quest for guilt-free sexual enjoyment by rejection of God’s law and Christian teaching on sex. ➢ I can do what I like with my body because it belongs to me. ➢ Loss of Christian moral imagination by younger generation ➢ Recovery of the beauty of the Christian teaching and practice of sexuality ➢ Luther in LC 218: “I say these things in order that our young people may be led to acquire a love for the estate of marriage and know that it is a blessed and God-pleasing estate.” • Christian teaching: owned body ➢ St Paul in 1 Cor 6:19: You are not your own. ➢ Given by God its Creator as His gift: body that belongs to Him and my spouse ➢ Ordered sexual intercourse: protection of God’s gift and its enjoyment by His law ➢ Our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19) 2.

Mulieris Dignitatem Twenty Years Later: an Overview of the Document and Challenges
MULIERIS DIGNITATEM TWENTY YEARS LATER: AN OVERVIEW OF THE DOCUMENT AND CHALLENGES Sr. Prudence Allen, R.S.M.g INTRODUCTION August 15, 2008, marked the twentieth anniversary of the promulgation of the apostolic letter Mulieris Dignitatem.1 This Article provides an overview of Mulieris Dignitatem, looking at some of the key principles Pope John Paul II articulates. This Article describes how the principles were innovative with respect to previous teaching about women, evaluates the principles in light of present developments in our American culture, and suggests some possible ways we might consider acting on these principles for a new evangelization. Reflections proceed chronologically and thematically through Mulieris Dignitatem. This Article discusses the following themes: Part I, the truth about the human being; Part II, Mary, the Mother of God, as our pilgrim guide; Part III, communio in the Holy Trinity as analogous for communio of women and men; Part IV, the rupture within a person and among persons through sin; Part V, encountering Jesus Christ as enabling this rupture to be overcome; Part VI, the mandate to release each woman’s genius in the face of evil for the good of all; Part VII, paradigm dimensions of women’s vocations in the Church; Part VIII, complementarity through spousal bonds; and Part IX, plans of action through educating on the nature and dignity of women and through ransoming language. g Sr. Prudence Allen, R.S.M., Ph.D., is a Professor, Department of Philosophy, at the St. John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver, Colorado. 1.

Ecce Fides Pillar of Truth
Ecce Fides Pillar of Truth Fr. John J. Pasquini TABLE OF CONTENTS Dedication Foreword Introduction Chapter I: The Holy Scriptures and Tradition Where did the Bible come from? Would Jesus leave us in confusion? The Bible alone is insufficient and unchristian What Protestants can’t answer! Two forms of Revelation What about Revelation 22:18-19? Is all Scripture to be interpreted in the same way? Why was the Catholic Church careful in making Bibles available to individual believers? Why do Catholics have more books in the Old Testament than Protestants or Jews? Chapter II: The Church Who’s your founder? Was Constantine the founder of the Catholic Church? Was there a great apostasy? Is the Catholic Church the “Whore of Babylon”? Who founded the Church in Rome? Peter, the Rock upon which Jesus built his Church! Are the popes antichrists? Why is the pope so important? Without the popes, the successors of St. Peter, there would be no authentic Christianity! Why is apostolic succession so important? The gates of hell will not prevail against it! The major councils of the Church and the assurance of the true faith! Why is there so much confusion in belief among Protestants? What gave rise to the birth of Protestantism? Chapter III: Sacraments Are sacraments just symbols? What do Catholics mean by being “born again” and why do they baptize children? Baptism by blood and desire for adults and infants Does baptism require immersion? Baptism of the dead? Where do we find the Sacrament of Confirmation? Why do Catholics believe the Eucharist is the
