Описание: Death of an Altar Boy tells the sad story behind the 1972 murder of a 14-year-old Massachusetts boy and how the Catholic Church’s history of whitewashing priest abuse was the cause and the reason it went unsolved until now. The death of Danny Croteau faded from newspapers and memory for 20 years, until the Boston abuse scandal exploded and it was revealed that his parish priest was the only suspect. Everyone, including his superiors, assumed he was the murderer, and still does. But he was not alone. After reviewing over 10,000 pages of police and court files, and interviewing investigators, Danny’s family and friends, fellow abuse victims, and church officials, E.J. Fleming uncovered the truth about what happened to Danny. For the first time, Death of an Altar Boy exposes church complicity in the cover-up and hiding their priests’ involvement with an organized ring of abusive priests active at the time of the killing. A strong case is also made for the identity of the ring members who participated in the murder.
Описание: Beyond the Altar illustrates how women religious overcome sexist subjugation by side-stepping the patriarchal power of the Roman Catholic Church. This book counters the stereotypical image of Catholic nuns as being loyally compliant with their church by showing how a number of current and former women religious in Canada challenge their institutional religion's precepts and engage in transformative strategies to effect change both within and outside the Roman Catholic Church. The sisters' testimonials reveal never-before-shared details about their painful experiences of male domination, their courageous efforts to move beyond such sexist stifling, and the women-led and women-centered spiritual, governance, and activist practices they have engendered in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.Featuring many examples of the sisters' resourcefulness, resilience, and resistance, this book fills a void in international scholarship on what Canadian Catholic women religious have endured and accomplished. Through interviews and in-depth accounts of the complexities and nuances present in the current and former sisters' lives, readers will discover their steadfast indomitability as they strategically, and sometimes subversively, innovate their spiritual spaces.

Описание: The publication of The Roman Missal, Third Edition offers an opportunity for homilists to explore the relationship between the Sunday readings and the new Roman Missal. Between the Ambo and the Altar is the final book (Year C) in a three-volume series that presents scriptural, liturgical, and preaching commentary for Sundays, solemnities, and feasts throughout the year. Each Sunday's resources are presented in three sections: exploring the Scripture, connecting the Lectionary with the liturgy, and a homiletic strategy. DeBona takes the preacher through a meditation on the language of the Missal, suggests parallels to the Sunday Lectionary, and gives practical homiletic strategies using core themes and images. It is hoped that the commentary advances a framework for homily preparation so that preachers might "savor the deep meaning of the word of God which unfolds each year in the liturgy" (Benedict XVI, Verbum Domini 52).
