John W. O. Malley Orden de los libros (cronológico)

In 1869, around seven hundred Catholic bishops convened in Rome for the first church-wide council in three centuries, following the upheaval of the French Revolution. Pope Pius IX aimed to restore the church's authority by declaring papal infallibility, igniting intense conflicts that threatened schism. As Italian forces under Garibaldi encroached on the Papal States, the legitimacy of the council came into question. Figures like Gladstone and Bismarck became involved, and as the church's temporal power diminished, it became increasingly centered on the papacy, leading to enduring consequences. John W. O'Malley vividly captures the debates surrounding infallibility, highlighting the profound changes initiated by the council that continue to influence the lives of Catholics today. His scholarship invites readers to understand modern Catholicism as deeply shaped by the legacy of Pius IX. Praised for his gripping narrative and masterful account, O'Malley engages readers with a history that remains relevant, completing his trilogy on church councils and providing insights into both the past and the contemporary church.

Od Ignáca po Františka. Dejiny jezuitov sú napínavým príbehom o ľuďoch, ktorí sa podujali veľkodušne žiť podľa charizmy svätého Ignáca. Za takmer poltisícročie existencie zažila rehoľa obdobia búrlivého rozkvetu, obdobia hľadania svojej identity v meniacich sa podmienkach i obdobia útlaku a nepriateľstva zo strany Cirkvi i jej neprajníkov. Táto knižka v štyroch kapitolách poskytuje čitateľovi prehľad toho najdôležitejšieho, čo Spoločnosť Ježišova vo svojich dejinách zažila, dokázala, vytrpela, priniesla. Pre všetkých, ktorých zaujíma história, bude istotne zaujímavým čítaním.

Chronicles the history of the Jesuit order from the time of Ignatius of Loyola to the present Pope Francis.

Nato dalla rielaborazione della popolare serie di lezioni-audio “2000 anni di Storia Papale”, Storia dei papi di O’Malley ripercorre le vicende dei papi che si sono succeduti tra Pietro e l’attuale Benedetto VXI. Alcuni erano santi, altri peccatori, alcuni di grande statura, altri figure minori: la Chiesa insomma è fatta di uomini.

Nei quattro anni delle sue sessioni, il Concilio Vaticano II catturò l'attenzione dei media con cerimonie pubbliche e dibattiti che occupavano le prime pagine. L'interesse non era superficiale: l'opinione pubblica mondiale percepiva la portata delle trasformazioni in atto nella Chiesa cattolica. Considerato unanimemente il più importante evento religioso del XX secolo, il Concilio ebbe effetti che si diffusero oltre i confini ecclesiali. Questo libro di John O'Malley, basato su documentazione ufficiale, offre una narrazione avvincente di ciò che accadde dal momento in cui Giovanni XXIII lo annunciò nel 1959 fino alla conclusione nel 1965. I temi principali emergono nel loro contesto storico-teologico, fornendo chiavi di lettura per comprendere i conflitti e le dinamiche delle assise conciliari. O'Malley restituisce il 'dramma' del Concilio attraverso i colori vividi dei personaggi e dei loro scontri, superando le categorie di 'progressisti' e 'conservatori'. Propone un'interpretazione centrata su tre problemi fondamentali: il rapporto tra identità e cambiamento, la relazione tra il papato e i vescovi nel governo, e lo stile di missione della Chiesa.

"The cultures considered here originated in the ancient world, took on Christian forms, and manifest themselves today in more secular ways. These are, as John W. O'Malley identifies them: the prophetic culture that proclaims the need for radical change in the structures of society (represented by, for example, Jeremiah, Martin Luther, and Martin Luther King, Jr.); the academic culture that seeks to understand those structures (Aristotle, Aquinas, the modern university); the humanistic culture that addresses fundamental human issues and works for the common good of society (Cicero, Erasmus, and Eleanor Roosevelt); and the culture of art and performance that celebrates the mystery of the human condition (Phidias, Michelangelo, Balanchine)."

"John O'Malley works out a guide to the intellectual and historical developments behind the concepts of Catholic reform, the Counter Reformation, and, in his felicitous term, Early Modern Catholicism." "Trent and All That makes a case for subsuming the present confusion of terminology under the concept of Early Modern Catholicism. The term indicates clearly what this book demonstrates: that Early Modern Catholicism was an aspect of early modern history, which it strongly influenced and by which it was in itself in large measure determined."--Jacket
