Editorial Review Product Description The thrust of the book is, however, on the young man’s memory of thosetimes, his idealism and ambition to succeed, the beliefs andexpectations he brought to the seminary experience, his bitterdisillusionment and his eventual turning away after eight years. Hisentry into so-called civilian life was in the mid-sixties, a time rifewith events that probably fueled his propulsion from that cloisteredplace. Throughout the story Kelly remembers a priest who influenced him. Hetraces the evolution of this model priest, who gained some power andreputation, but eventually fell far because of his own weaknesses. Buthe resurrected himself within his faith and continues today, a kind ofsymbol of the survival of the priesthood, albeit heroically. Thecontrast of our protagonist to this priest over the years, how theyboth, for better or worse, faced the harshness of cultural,psychological and spiritual challenges, makes for an fascinatingstory. The narrative is at times irreverent, an obvious channel of great anger toward the Church for the writer, but it takes our now-aging author to task as well. Although he is not saved in the traditional Christian sense, he is at peace with that chapter of his life. His recollections have forced him to look deeply within himself for the meaning of his own life, and he realizes an awakening of compassion, sensitivity and forgiveness. What he considered lost years of youth are now a source of self-discovery that liberate him from his long resentment. Customer Reviews (1)

A good resource That being said, this text does strive for some degree of objectivity.There are few texts available on Old Catholicism; it is an obscure-enough denomination and topic that books go out of print very quickly.Also, there are many varieties of Old Catholicism (and arguments as to the validity of the claim 'Old Catholic' by many from many).It is easy to get lost in the fray, and even the most able historian and researcher will find clarity an elusive goal. Andre Queen is not an historian by profession or training, nor is he a writer.He is, however, bishop of a jurisdiction within American Old Catholicism, based in Chicago, and has various other titles and affiliations that have given him a reputation as a good source of information.Queen made effort to seek the counsel of other leaders in various jurisdictions as he compiled this text, so there was an element of collaboration in the process. In some ways, this book is a compilation, and Queen would be in some respects more aptly described as the editor and compiler rather than the author.This, of course, is in keeping with the methodology of those who have a care for tradition and history - re-inventing the wheel is not necessary.For example, the longest chapter (comprising almost one-third of the entire text) is a model catechism, reprinted with permission from the catechism of the jurisdiction of the Old Catholic Church of America (James Bostwick, archbishop).Not all Old Catholic jurisdictions follow this catechism, and it is not intended to serve here as a dogmatic imposition, but rather as a paradigm for exploration. The first several chapters give a brief history of the development of Old Catholicism in Europe (which has several strands), together with the text of important historical documents, and the transference of Old Catholicism into North America, a trek that has not been without incident, intrigue, and the occasional unfortunate occurrence.As a history, it suffers a bit from lack of a narrative framework; it is more like a patch-work quilt (made of documents, principles and brief biographies) that tells a story than a seamless narrative.For those not already acquainted to some degree with the history, it is easy to get lost.Perhaps in a future edition, this will be addressed. The concluding chapters, 'Why Eastern and Western Expressions Combine in American Old Catholicism' and 'Yesterday's Tomorrow, Today', bring up important points that beg for further development.They address questions that most likely will be ongoing concerns, but further work on these issues would be appreciated. There are three appendices, which deal with more obscure points (one an essay on married clergy, and two biographical/autobiographical pieces on figures of prominence in the movement).These are not really for the uninitiated - the essay on marriage assumes a familiarity with historical theology and church practice (and some degree of canon law); the other two appendices are more accessible.In particular, a reading of the appendix dealing with Archbishop Vilatte, side-by-side with that out of another text, Episcopi Vagantes, shows the trouble in dealing with Old Catholic history, and how apparent bias can be. One minor criticism is that, in a day of computers with spell-check and grammar check, there are a few more typographical errors that one would hope; alas, in this day of self-editing even for major publishing houses, the primarily error-free text is becoming a vanishing species.Again, should there be a future edition, perhaps these will be corrected. With the advent of lightning publishing and print-on-demand, texts such as this can remain available for longer periods of time, which is a blessing, given that in circles drawn as the Old Catholic circles are, it takes time to disseminate the information regarding the text's availability.There is not as yet a tradition of scholarship and publication in the Old Catholic world (European, North American or otherwise); in that instance, most any book is a blessing.This book represents another step in the direction of self-study and self-proclamation by the Old Catholics of their own community and beliefs.Imagine a world in which the only available texts about the Anglican, Presbyterian or Lutheran communions were written by Roman Catholic scholars, or the only texts available on Roman Catholicism were written by Eastern Orthodox scholars - one can begin to appreciate the difficulty of study of the subject. This book strives to put Old Catholicism in the best possible light - a worthy goal, and one that any leader such as Queen would try to do.However, space should be made for the frank admission of the difficulties in Old Catholic history that Old Catholics have caused for themselves; this is brought up implicitly in some of the text, but never specifically addressed.Future editions might develop this theme, so as to not be subject to the charge of not facing our own origins. For those interested in Old Catholicism, this is a valuable resource.It should be required of clergy and lay leaders of every jurisdiction in Old and Independent Catholicism; even the areas of disagreement can yield insight, and issues of difference made more explicit can aid in mutual cooperation.One hopes for further developments of this sort among the Old and Independent Catholic communities. ...

Valuable resources, raw material Melton, a Methodist minister, highlights an issue in the Old Catholic polity in his preface, when talking about most bishops in the OC church: `[An Old Catholic bishop] lacked any of the real power of a traditional bishop. His worker priests, dependent on neither the bishop nor any congregation for their financial support, proved a most rebellious lot. Unable to discipline them, the bishop was forced to cajole and placate them at every turn or face their abandoning him for any one of a hundred other bishops.' The Old Catholic church as a whole has this as a continuing problem -- no central recognised authority, and no overarching ethos of cooperation and consideration toward fellow Old Catholics. Small movements have begun to spring up in the time since Pruter and Melton's work, but the situation still remains that there are many more bishops who believe autonomy is all-important over ideas of community and cooperation. Part of the value of this book comes from the problem with Old Catholic history in general, spelled out without sugar-coating in the first section: `We can see the Old Catholic Church, at least in its American phase, as a very new movement. Almost none of its present leadership and very few of its present membership were raised as Old Catholics. They have come to the movement as converts from the Roman Catholic Church or the Protestant Episcopal Church. Overwhelmingly the various jurisdictions which now make up Old Catholicism were formed in the past decade and those that were formed earlier have little substance to their history.' The first section of the book explores the precursors to Old Catholicism, from European and American sources. The Jansenist movement, the See of Utretch, and the uproar over Vatican I set the stage on the European continent, with later activity among the Polish Mariavites. The Oxford Movement, autocephalous orthodox churches and movement of Old Catholicism into England complete much of the historical path for later developments in America. The spread into America came through Vilatte, various Anglican splits such as the Reformed Episcopal Church, Bishop Brown of the Episcopal Church, Carfora, and independent orthodoxy. Pruter and Melton explore these topics before getting into the more varied history of the ethnic churches, which include the Polish National Catholic Church and the African Orthodox Church. Pruter and Melton are very frank about some of the shortcomings of Old Catholicism in its history. One such problem period was the 1960s, when Vatican II pushed many traditionalists out of the Roman Catholic church, and the older ethnic enclaves in America were assimilating, so Old Catholicism no longer had a strong base of support among those communities. Old Catholicism allowed for both traditional Latinists and diverse experimental liturgies, and so attracted a varied group. This did not encourage collegiality. Likewise, the various social movements of the 1960s and 1970s found homes in some Old Catholic jurisdictions; the issues of women's ordination and homosexuality continue to be hot-button debates in Old Catholic jurisdictions, but various bishops issuing pronouncements on one side or the other as sine qua non conditions for communal relationships led to further splintering. Finally, Old Catholicism has had the historical problem of ordaining the 'wrong' people. `Unfortunately, Old Catholicism, in this process, became a haven for men who had dreams of being a priest or bishop but were entirely unsuitable for the task, or who, in a few cases, wished to use the ministry for exploitive, entreprenurial, or even illegal activities. These later cases have become the scandal of the Movement and have done much to prevent Old Catholicism from attaining much viability at all.' Pruter and Melton develop in some detail the specific jurisdictions and churches under broad headings.Then, the future of Old and Independent Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican jurisdictions is examined here. Whereas these groups seemed to be in decline in the mid-twentieth century, the later part of the century showed a remarkable resurgence.This is occuring at the same time that ecclesiastical authority no longer reigns supreme save in the narrowest of societal bands. Freedom of religion also provides fertile ground for denominational and jurisdictional movement. The authors confess the book is incomplete, as any such book will usually be. This book is perhaps more incomplete than many sourcebooks, because of the difficulty in obtaining original source material, and the trouble with verifying information when it comes from highly biased sources with few relatively objective modifiers for tempering. The original material used in production of this volume is being preserved at the ISAR centre in Evanston, Illinois, and is likely the most complete Old Catholic collection in North America open to the public. Like any good research sourcebook, this sourcebook has an extensive bibliography -- 848 books and primary sources, and 98 periodicals, grouped according to the same pattern as the historical outlines, with introductory annotations. This is a wonderful resource for further research into any Old Catholic topic. The final two sections include a chart of Old Catholic bishops, those resident in North America and those foreign bishops who exercise episcopal oversight for local groups or jurisdictions, and a directory of headquarters and major institutions of most of the Old Catholic jurisdictions in North America. Given the rate of change in Old Catholic circles, both of these sections are largely out of date, and useful as an historical snapshot from the early 1980s, but the usefulness is in doubt. A new edition would be welcome, but is unlikely any time soon. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description In this widely acclaimed book that will long remain an indispensable work on American religion and the Catholic Church, one of its most influential laymen in the United States says that the Roman Catholic Church in America must either reform profoundly or lapse into irreversible decline. In addition to providing a spiritual identity for over 60 million Americans, the church is the nation's largest nongovernmental provider of education and social services, as well as the largest not-for-profit provider of health care. But even before the recent revelations about sex abuse by priests, American Catholicism was already heading for a major crisis, with its traditional leadership depleted by the decline in religious vocations and paralyzed by "theological gridlock." Catholicism in the United States confronts hard choices among contrasting visions for the future, choices with huge implications for American life. Analyzing these choices in ways that escape all the familiar labels of conservative or liberal, Steinfels points to the directions the church must take to survive. Customer Reviews (19)

Editorial Review Product Description In From the Heart of the Church, Judith Merkle, S.N.D., de N., examines the social teaching of the Church since Leo XIII from the perspective of its links to the Church and its life. While the social encyclicals of the popes since Leo XIII form a key expression of the social teachings of the Church in the last century, this book also explores the roots of these teachings in the life and theology of the Church today. Chapters in Part One: Foundations are "Social Teaching: A Message Lived or Professed?" "The Faith to Walk," "Spirituality for the World," and "The Church in Society." Chapters in Part Two: The Catholic Social Tradition are "Social Teaching Before Vatican II," "Social Teaching of John XXIII and Paul VI," "Political Theology," "Liberation Theology," "Social Catholicism After Vatican II," and "Social Teaching of John Paul II." Part Three: The Future of the Catholic Social Tradition includes "Communities Formed in the Heart of the Church: A Thought Experiment." |
