Recenzii
"A
bishop,
several
priests
and
lay
people
delivered
these
essays
or
conference
papers
before
an
audience
at
Yale
University
in
March
2003
under
the
theme
of
the
present
title.
Their
lectures
come
at
one
of
the
most
urgent
moments
in
the
history
of
the
church
in
America
and
will
be
helpful
to
anyone
interested
in
its
welfare...The
book
prompts
serious
reflection
on
structural
problems
that
cause
a
kind
of
ecclesial
pleurisy.
Steps
toward
a
remedial
plan
have
been
taken
at
the
national
and
diocesan
levels,
but
the
task
is
far
from
finished.
The
diocesan
synod
is
useful,
but
the
daily
work
of
coordinating
offices
for
pastoral
planning,
lay
review
boards,
finance
councils,
and
canonical
services
continues.
A
handbook
for
these
accomplishments
has
yet
to
be
written."

"Margaret O'Brien Steinfels has pointed out that the sexual abuse scandal so troubling the Catholic Church is more than a crisis about sexual abuse; it is an ecclesiological crisis. The crisis has generated various initiatives on the part of concerned Catholics....The present book, edited by Francis Oakley and Bruce Russett, represents another response, this time by the Saint Thomas More Chapel at Yale University. It collects the papers given at the chapel and the Yale Law School during a...conference in March 2003, which had a size and scope unprecedented in the chapel's history. Oakley is the Edward Dorr Griffin Professor of the History of Ideas and president emeritus of Williams College; Russett is Dean Acheson Professor of International Relations and Political Science at Yale. "The outstanding group of 16 Catholic historians, theologians, journalists, social scientists and executives who gathered for the conference were asked to examine the roots of the crisis and to propose solutions that would be in keeping with the rich history of the Catholic tradition....Each contribution make fascination reading....The historical, political and practical analysis of the contributors is extremely helpful, though I would like to have seen more of the theological. The church may exercise authority in a top-down way, but theologically it is an interdependent communio of pastors and faithful, even if this is not reflected in its structures. Still, Governance, Accountability, and the Future of the Catholic Church forced me to revise my own thinking. It convinced me that renewal means more than simply renewing the way authority is exercised; it must also involve the reform of structures that will provide for greater accountability and a system of checks and balances now almost entirely lacking..."This is an important book. After reading it, the old line 'the church is not a democracy' does not sound quite so final." -Thomas P. Raush, America
"This book, which contains the proceedings of a conference sponsored by "Yale's Catholic Center in March 2003, is an excellent series of essays touching key areas related to the current crisis in the church such as canon law, theology and history....The essays are hopeful, sharing the conviction that the church has the resources to engage in a process of reform. They are also challenging because they lay out the demands of reform. The hierarchy must give up dogmatic thinking, used as deus ex machina, and face history. The laity and the lower clergy must develop the knowledge to enable them to claim the rights that are historically theirs and compel accountability." -Anthony J. Pogorelc, Catholic Books Review
