Could a Pope ever consent to be the subject of a political power Chadwick presents an analysis of the causes and consequences of the end of the historic Papal State and the psychological pressures upon old Rome as it came under attack from the Italian Risorgimento and not only from Italy but from liberal movements in Germany France Spain and Portugal as well as Tsarist Russia as it oppressed its Polish subjects If a united Italy was to be achieved the State would have to disappear These pressures caused Popes to resist the world rather than to try to influence it to make the Vatican more of a sanctuary behind high walls and to preach the more otherworldly aspects of Catholic faith At the same time they met new moral demands the rights of the laborer in industry divorce and tolerationwhich they could confront because the Revolution had destroyed the powers of the Catholic kings over their churches Thus Chadwick points out Catholic authority could be far more centralized in Rome

Contemporary news headlines as well as the history of the Church are replete with scandals unholy acts and abuses of power Such a disappointing trend has shaken the faith of many and made it fashionable to decry the hypocrisy of organized religion Yet despite these massive stumbling blocks the Church has always insisted and continues to maintain that it is none other than the Holy Body of Christ How can these polarities be reconciled How can the worlds trust in the Church be renewed in this postmodern era of religious indifference and apathy How can an obviously flawed institution become the genuine Church as intended by Jesus Christ Responding to these questions the author calls for a critical selfevaluation of the Church in her quest for renewal presents a muchneeded modern interdisciplinary approach to apologetics and powerfully promotes ecumenism This scholarly and passionately written book substantiates Christian optimism and provides a thoughtful and convincing response to the challenges posed by skeptics such as Nietzsche Freud Dawkins and their contemporary intellectual heirs

Before the Reformation in the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church being a wife or mother was not a holy vocation The only spiritual calling for women was to be found in a convent The Reformers confronted the bad theology which led to this and other worse abuses like priestpatronized brothels and returned to the Bible to develop a theology of vocation that began to free Christians to be holy no matter their occupation But today modern feminist claims about vocation have more in common with the preReformation popes than anything else except feminists have replaced the nunnery with the hallowed corporate workplace Christian women wondering about their place in society and comparing feminism with the Bible should start with the teaching of the Reformers and the lives of many exceptional women of the Reformation Part history and part contemporary reflection Popes and Feminists argues that women today have some of the same choices facing them as women in the sixteenth century In this fascinating study Elise Crapuchettes shows how the Reformation changed the lives of Christian women as it turned them away from trying to earn their salvation and toward a joyful liberating view of vocation and work

Recent scandals have led many to claim that the Catholic Church is inherently flawed and that to save it the Pope and bishops must yield decisionmaking authority to the laity With clarity and verve Ronald Knox here shows that by the very terms of its commission from Christ the Catholic Church cannot become a democracy Unlike Protestant congregations the Church on earth is not just an assembly of Christians pledged to keep intact a set of dogmatic truths and moral principles It is directly God s handiwork deliberately designed by Him as a hierarchical institution headed by the Pope Knox explains that although the Church is not inerrant in its policies it is infallible in its doctrines and it rightly serves as the living interpreter of Scripture and of its own teachings He shows that despite the faults of its members and even the faults of many of its leaders the Church on earth has a higher claim on our loyalty than country party or even family Indeed argues Knox when Catholics obey the Church they obey the voice of God These pages offer a bracing counterpoint to the recent popular rush to democracy in the Church They are essential reading for all who genuinely desire to understand the Church as Christ established it for us and who seek to ensure that in our day the Church will remain faithful to the holy mission He entrusted to it
