  • Faggioli Offers a Highly Sophisticated Analysis of the New Ecclesial Movements While Telling the Story of the Catholic Church Over the Past One and a Half Centuries
    “Faggioli offers a highly sophisticated analysis of the new ecclesial movements while telling the story of the Catholic Church over the past one and a half centuries. His international perspective informs his use of methods that are historical, sociological, and theological. This book stands in a category of its own among works on this subject.” — Dennis M. Doyle Professor of Religious Studies University of Dayton “Massimo Faggioli has become one of the most respected theological interpreters of Vatican II and the battle over its meaning. This new book explores a wider set of issues with a related agenda. How are we to assess the variety of new Catholic movements and their relationship to the legacy of Vatican II? His analysis and findings will undoubtedly shape the future debate.” — Bradford Hinze Fordham University “Massimo Faggioli brings his fresh, creative voice to the much neglected subject of ‘new ecclesial movements.’ ‘Sorting out’ movements ‘intimately intertwined’ with ‘the modern papacy and the contemporary church’ requires skills as a theologian and historian, which Faggioli has in abundance. Movements have already transformed Catholicism in Europe and Latin America, and in the future they will either complement or substitute traditional parishes, support or undermine Catholic institutions. Those who wish to understand and share responsibility for the future of Catholicism, in the United States and elsewhere, would do well to consider Faggioli’s nuanced assessment of these mostly Euro-centered movements.” — David J.

  • La Forma Ecclesiae Comme Langage
    La forma ecclesiae comme langage Mémoire Léandre Syrieix Maîtrise en théologie Maître ès arts (M. A.) Québec, Canada © Léandre Syrieix, 2017 La forma ecclesiae comme langage Mémoire Léandre Syrieix Sous la direction de : Gilles Routhier, directeur de recherche RÉSUMÉ Le détachement des catholiques de l’Église telle qu’elle se présente aujourd’hui dans ses pratiques et dans ses formes institutionnelles est dû au fait que sa crédibilité comme témoin du Christ à travers ce qu’elle « est », ses paroles et ses gestes, est mise à l’épreuve. Il y a de ce fait une crise de la forma ecclesiae qui introduit la question relative à quelle est la forme de l’Église qui est plus appropriée pour permettre d’annoncer de manière crédible l’Évangile dans le monde contemporain. Ce mémoire de Maîtrise traite ainsi de la forma ecclesiae comme langage en trois chapitres. Le premier présente le concept de forma ecclesiae dans la littérature et en dégage quelques aspects mis en avant par le concile Vatican II. Le second traite de la vie de l’Église comme signe à travers le développement de la conception de l’Église comme « sacrement de Salut » soulignant que toute sa vie est témoignage. Le troisième présente la vocation de l’Église, qui est d’annoncer l’Évangile, à partir de l’Exhortation apostolique Evangelii nuntiandi du pape Paul VI, il présente aussi la reformatio de l’Église qu’implique l’annonce de l’Évangile à partir de l’Exhortation apostolique Evangelii Gaudium du pape François. iii ABSTRACT Catholics have turned back on the contemporary Church, its practices and institutional structures because they question its credibility as a witness for Christ in what it “is”, it says and does.

  • Comece/Ecwm Seminar on the 125Th Anniversary of Rerum Novarum
    EN EVENT REPORT 03.05.2016 COMECE/ECWM SEMINAR ON THE 125TH ANNIVERSARY OF RERUM NOVARUM From Rerum Novarum (1891) to Laudato si’ (2015): Catholic social Teaching as a reference to social and ecological welfare? In times of Panama papers, climate change and a seemingly never-ending economic crisis in Europe, visions are needed that provide the impetus for reforms towards a more equitable and sustainable future. To what extent Catholic social teaching can help politicians to bring about change and be a reference for social and ecological welfare was subject of discussions of a one-day seminar that COMECE and the European Christian Workers’ Movement (ECWM) organised on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of Rerum Novarum on 03 May 2016. Together with distinguished guest speakers from academia, European politics, and social entrepreneurship, they looked back to its development, impact and relevance for today’s decision-makers. The event was divided into two parts: a seminar and an evening reception. I. Seminar: Catholic social thought as an impetus for change In their welcome statements, both Bishop Gianni Ambrosio, President of the COMECE Social Affairs Commission, and Otto Meier, the President of ECWM, referred to the first social encyclical Rerum Novarum. They stated that Pope Leo XIII’s call for a fair balance between work and capital has not lost its topicality. Bishop Ambrosio stressed that, like the industrialisation in the late 19th century, the on-going globalisation and digitisation while increasing opportunities, have undermined the principles of wage justice and fair working conditions. Moreover, Otto Meier highlighted that Catholic social teaching is “As consumers, we have the moral duty that not just a theoretical discipline but, as human rights are respected throughout the Reinhard Cardinal Marx points out in his entire value chain to ensure that globalisation is a positive experience for all.” book “Das Kapital”, a triad of Church’s teaching, the academic discourse, and the Bishop Gianni Ambrosio work of the Catholic social movement.
