Doctrine & Life
November 2021
In Christ We Journey Together
Church Leaders reflect on the damage which resulted from the partition of Ireland 100 years ago, and on the possibilities now arising for reconciliation and hope.
The Case for Mindful Religion
Fergus Armstrong reflects on the need to integrate spiritual practice and religious observance. He surveys how the thinking and practices of David Steindl-Rast, Karlfried von Dürckheim, and Mike Boxhal could transform life, leading to a deeper sense of being present and a greater trust in life
Transformed Church as Icon of the Trinity
John O’Brien argues that the reform so necessary in the Church runs deeper than introducing democratic structures. It requires that the Church become ‘a vehicle to communicate exhaustively the height, breadth and depth of God’s creative-salvific love.’ This requires recognizing that all Church structures are necessarily provisional.
The Ministry of Catechist
Thomas O’Loughlin shows how the Pope’s institution of a new ministry of catechist opens up a new era.
The Path to the Synod
Patrick H. Daly muses on the implications and challenges of the listening phase of the synodal path, which Pope Francis inaugurated on 10 October.
Europe after Merkel
David Begg points to how Angela Merkel was central to re-structuring power relations in Europe. He suggests that a comparable role may now devolve to Emmanuel Macron. In view of the hasty US withdrawal from Afghanistan, with minimal notice to European partners, the trans-Atlantic alliance may appear less reliable and there will come a need for a new European compass of its security needs.
Organ Retention: An Ethical Approach
John Scally is prompted by a recent scandal to re-visit earlier incidents of organs, removed at post-mortems, being disposed of without consent, and to survey the ethical norms in place.
Did Martin Luther Save Christmas?
Martin Henry reflects on how the iconoclastic element in the Reformation movement would have abolished gift-giving for the feast of St Nicholas, and on how Luther’s affection for children made gifts for children a feature of celebrating the birth of the Christ-Child.
Where Are the New Humanists?
Kevin Hargaden reviews We Built Reality: How Social Science Infiltrated Culture, Politics, and Power, by Jason Blakely
Envisaging a New World Order
Brian D. Cosgrove reviews We Cannot be Silent!, by Catherine Prendergast and Deirdre Mullan
