  • Can We Save the Catholic Church?
    Hans Kung Can We Save the Catholic Church? Аннотация As the Year of Faith draws to a close, radical Catholic theologian and visionary Hans Küng presents the Church with an urgent and controversial call to arms. Can the Church Still be Saved promises what Catholics have long been yearning for: modern responses to a modern world.Fifty years ago, the world’s bishops gathered for the Second Vatican Council in the hope they could, in the words of Pope John XXIII, ‘open the windows of the Church and let some fresh air in.’ It was a gathering of real optimism; Hans Küng and our current Pope were both there.In Can the Church Still be Saved?, Kung relates how after fifty years and two Popes, the Church has only turned back the clock, becoming ever more conservative. Refusing to open dialogue on celibacy for male priests; the role of women in the priesthood; homosexuality and gay marriage; or the use of contraception even to prevent AIDS in Africa, the Papacy is losing touch. Now, amid widespread disillusion over child abuse, the future of Catholicism is in crisis.Küng calls for a complete renewal of the Church, setting out a radical and inspiring programme of action. As grassroots support grows - both in the UK and internationally - Can the Church Still be Saved makes a compelling case for structural reform and for a proper dialogue on the modern world.

  • Sermon – Bishop Dr. Michael Gerber
    www.schoenstatt.org Inauguration of Dr Michael Gerber as 18th Bishop of Fulda Fulda Cathedral on 31 March 2019 Sermon of Bishop Dr Michael Gerber Dear Confreres in the service of the Bishop, the priests and the deacons, dear Sisters and Brothers! We have gathered for this celebration this afternoon from the whole of the Diocese of Fulda and far beyond, and from many different networks. We belong together, so do the people who are standing outside the Cathedral and who join us at home via their TVs. We are celebrating the Eucharist at this place where Sturmius and his companions erected a cross. They started an important new chapter in the history of Christianity in our country. When someone comes into a diocese for the first time as Bishop, it is necessary for him to be guided by an attitude of respect as he asks: What is the history God has written with the people here? What paths has God followed with this people who live in the region between Bad Karlshafen and Hanau, between Geisa and Amoeneburg? At this point I would like to thank all who have set their stamp on the history of this diocese in the last years and months: Above all Bishop Heinz Josef Algermissen, who has led this diocese for many years, and together with him Prof. Gerhard Stanke as Vicar General. Auxiliary Bishop Karlheinz Diez, who has been diocesan administrator until today, has invested a great deal in the last weeks in order to introduce me to the diocese. However, I would also like to thank you, the priests, the full time and voluntary workers, the people of consecrated life, and the ordinary worshippers who support the various offices in the diocese with your prayer, commitment and testimony.

  • Road Narrows at the Vatican?
    ROAD NARROWS AT THE VATICAN? Did Christ Die ‘For Many’ or ‘For All’? Wolfgang Beinert N 2006 A NOTE, DATED 17 OCTOBER, was delivered to the presidents of I bishops’ conferences from Cardinal Francis Arinze, Prefect of the Liturgical Congregation. It said that the Congregation was writing, on the Pope’s instructions, to the following effect: by 2008, in all new translations of the Missal, the words spoken over the chalice in the institution narrative, pro multis, should no longer be translated as ‘for all’, but as ‘for many’.1 Perhaps because Christmas was close when the letter became public, hardly any attention was paid to this apparently inoffensive instruction at first—and the fact that the letter, scarcely one side long, could not be downloaded from the Vatican website as most other Vatican documents can, promptly and carefully translated, may have played a part too. Apparently it was translated into German only by the right-wing Catholic news agency kreuz.net; and they quoted Catholic World News (CWN) as their source. The translated text on the kreuz.net website is immediately followed by ‘Readers’ views’.2 Reading these latter dispels any impression that Cardinal Arinze’s letter is just a routine Vatican instruction on translation. The expressions of opinion, mostly anonymous, promulgated by kreuz.net, welcome the new instruction, but not everyone is persuaded that it goes far enough: In view of the problems, particularly the liturgical ones (the doubtful validity of the sacraments since 1969) and the soteriological- ecclesiological ones (the Catholic Church is no longer seen as necessary for salvation), brought into the Church through the 1 See letter from Cardinal Francis Arinze on the translation of pro multis, http://www.usccb.org/ romanmissal/translating_arinze_letter.shtml.

  • Disillusioned German Catholics: the Pope's Di
    Druckversion - Disillusioned German Catholics: The Pope's Di... http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/disillusioned-ge... 09/20/2011 04:17 PM Disillusioned German Catholics The Pope's Difficult Visit to His Homeland When Joseph Ratzinger became pope in 2005, Catholics in Germany joyfully celebrated the first German pope in almost 500 years. Since then, the euphoria has turned to disappointment and disillusionment. Benedict XVI's visit to Germany this week will do little to heal the deep divide between conservatives and reformers in the German Church. By SPIEGEL Staff. One thing is already clear: The two men will be all smiles when they meet. If all goes according to plan, German President Christian Wulff will greet the pope at 11:15 a.m. this Thursday in front of Bellevue Palace, the president's official residence in Berlin. Photographers and cameramen will be eagerly jostling for the best spots, security teams will be intently scanning the area, and Wulff will shake his guest's hand with the proper degree of decorum. But what will happen next? What will the German head of state and the leader of the Roman Catholic Church talk about when they meet for the first time, shortly after Benedict XVI's landing in Berlin? Will they talk about the fact that Wulff, a practicing Catholic, is divorced and remarried, a fact that, under the current rules of the Church, excludes him from receiving Communion? Will Benedict XVI address the sensitive issue in his speech before the German parliament, the Bundestag, that afternoon? Although about 100 Bundestag members plan to boycott his address, Gerda Hasselfeldt, the Catholic chairwoman of the conservative Christian Social Union's group in the Bundestag, will be there without fail.
