Synopsis:
In this volume five Cardinals of the Church, and four other scholars, respond to the call issued by Cardinal Walter Kasper for the Church to harmonize "fidelity and mercy in its pastoral practice with civilly remarried, divorced people".
Beginning with a concise introduction, the first part of the book is dedicated to the primary biblical texts pertaining to divorce and remarriage, and the second part is an examination of the teaching and practice prevalent in the early Church. In neither of these cases, biblical or patristic, do these scholars find support for the kind of "toleration" of civil marriages following divorce advocated by Cardinal Kasper. This book also examines the Eastern Orthodox practice of oikonomia (understood as "mercy" implying "toleration") in cases of remarriage after divorce and in the context of the vexed question of Eucharistic communion. It traces the centuries long history of Catholic resistance to this convention, revealing serious theological and canonical difficulties inherent in past and current Orthodox Church practice.
Thus, in the second part of the book, the authors argue in favor of retaining the theological and canonical rationale for the intrinsic connection between traditional Catholic doctrine and sacramental discipline concerning marriage and communion.
The various studies in this book lead to the conclusion that the Church’s longstanding fidelity to the truth of marriage constitutes the irrevocable foundation of its merciful and loving response to the individual who is civilly divorced and remarried. The book therefore challenges the premise that traditional Catholic doctrine and contemporary pastoral practice are in contradiction.
"Because it is the task of the apostolic ministry to ensure that the Church remains in the truth of Christ and to lead her ever more deeply into that truth, pastors must promote the sense of faith in all the faithful, examine and authoritatively judge the genuineness of its expressions and educate the faithful in an ever more mature evangelical discernment." - St. John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Fair. Spuren von Feuchtigkeit / Nässe; Leichte Rillen / Abschürfungen / Risse / Knicke. In this volume, five cardinals and four scholars respond to Walter Cardinal Kasper's call for the Church to reconcile "fidelity and mercy" in its approach to civilly remarried, divorced individuals. Contributors include prominent figures such as Cardinals Brandmüller, Burke, Caffarra, De Paolis, Müller, and others. Cardinal Kasper references early Church practices to bolster his argument. However, the contributors, drawing on their extensive knowledge, conclude that both Scripture and the Church Fathers do not support the "toleration" of civil marriages after divorce as proposed by Kasper. They also explore the Eastern Orthodox concept of oikonomia, or "mercy," in relation to remarriage and Eucharistic Communion, highlighting the historical Catholic resistance to such practices. The text reveals significant theological and pastoral challenges posed by this issue within Orthodox traditions. The authors assert that traditional Catholic doctrine, rooted in Jesus' teachings, aligns with genuine mercy and compassion. They emphasize that true "gospel of mercy" can be found through a deeper understanding of Church teachings. As St. John Paul II stated, it is essential for the apostolic ministry to uphold the truth of Christ and guide the faithful towards a mature discernment of faith.
