The Catechetical Review - Communicating Christ for a New Evangelization

Reportaje final de la serie: La catequesis para las personas con discapacidades

Authored by Sr. M. Johanna Paruch in Issue #3.1 of Catechetical Review
En esta serie de reportajes relacionados con la catequesis para las personas con discapacidades, volvemos la mirada hacia San Pablo quien nos dijo que nuestra actitud debe de ser la de Cristo (Cf. Fil 2:5). En este último artículo de la serie,[i] veremos una gran variedad de condiciones incapacitantes que pueden afectar a los adultos que catequizamos o con quienes compartimos la banca en Misa. La respuesta clave en cada circunstancia es el respeto continuo, auténtico y de corazón. Dice el Papa Francisco, "En esta época en la que el cuidado del cuerpo se ha convertido en un mito de masas y por tanto en un negocio, lo que es imperfecto debe ser ocultado, porque va en contra de la felicidad y de la tranquilidad de los privilegiados y pone en crisis el modelo imperante."[ii] Se opone a la idea de que "una persona enferma o discapacitada no puede ser feliz, porque es incapaz de realizar el estilo de vida impuesto por la cultura del placer y de la diversión".

The problem here, though, is that Jesus isn’t only a wise teacher. To be his disciple requires something more. At the Great Commission, when he charged... Read more
Marian Devotion and the Renewal of Church Life
By John C. Cavadini
Free What happened to Mary? This is a question that could easily occur to anyone reading through 20th-century theology. Marian theology up to the 1960s was vibrant and flourishing. Fr. Edward O’Connor’s 1958 magisterial volume The Immaculate Conception (recently re-released by University of Notre Dame Press) seems to sum up an era. The lively essays... Read more
The Witness of Mary: A Portrait of Doctrine
By Sean Innerst
In Evangelii Nuntiandi (EN), Pope Paul VI, of sainted memory, said something that has become almost a banner that we fly above our apostolic work today, both in our evangelization and our catechesis. “Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses.” [1] This is...
