1 Paulist Press JAN.-FEB #112 Lent & Easter Titles pp Catholic Perspectives on Political Participation Edited by Nicholas P. Cafardi Voting and Holiness is a collection of 15 essays by noted Catholic thinkers on how Catholics should participate in the political process. The authors outstanding Catholic writers and theologians explain how the Catholic tradition is too rich and nuanced to be pigeonholed into single issues. Topics include: abortion; common good; prudential judgment; Catholic bishops and the electoral process; religion and faith in the American political life; the real meaning of intrinsic evil in the Catholic ethical tradition; voting as a potentially sinful act; conscience and citizenship; the indispensability of social justice; and participation in political life as a genuine act of holiness. For many American Catholics, the election season turns into a wrenching time of spiritual extortion, in which political campaigners attempt to exploit the Catholic conscience in order to achieve victory at the polling booth. All too often, Catholic lay people and clergy go along with this, and hot-button political and social issues become litmus tests for fidelity to the Catholic faith. In the worst cases, threats to withhold the sacraments are directed at Catholics who have, in good conscience, put their support behind certain candidates. Contributors include: Lisa Sowle Cahill; Cardinal Georges Cottier, OP; William V. D Antonio; M. Cathleen Kaveny; Richard Gaillardetz, Stephen F. Schneck; Terrence Tilley; and Bryan Massingale, among others. Nicholas P. Cafardi is dean emeritus at Duquesne University Law School. Cafardi received his undergraduate education at the Gregorian University in Rome, his master s from Duquesne University, his JD from the University of Pittsburgh, and his JCL and JCD from the University of St. Thomas in Rome. He is the author of Before Dallas (Paulist Press) / $24.95 / 6 x 9 / 272 pp. / Paperback

2 2 Vatican II The Battle for Meaning Massimo Faggioli The death of John Paul II and the election of Benedict XVI constituted undoubtedly two important elements in the broad theological and ecclesiastical landscape of the debate about Vatican II in the last few years. This change of pontificate has also nourished the journalistic and political dispute about Vatican II, its history and its legacy, and not only the historiographical and theological debate. Brief accounts of the history of Vatican II have reached the public at large but the research on Vatican II is already proceeding forward and beyond the state of knowledge about the council reached at the end of the 90s. Even if some observers seem to be satisfied with the present knowledge, for twenty-first century church historians and theologians interested in understanding contemporary Catholicism in the light of Vatican II, the intellectual undertaking is still evolving. The book gives a comprehensive presentation of the theological and historiographical debate about Vatican II. The attempt to go beyond the clash of interpretations Vatican II as a rupture in the history of Catholicism on one side and the need to read Vatican II in continuity with the tradition on the other is necessary indeed because the ongoing debate about Vatican II is largely misrepresented by the use of clashing interpretations as a tool for understanding the role of the council in present-day Catholicism. Massimo Faggioli who holds a PhD from the University of Turin, is assistant professor of theology at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul (Minnesota). He is author of numerous articles on Vatican II and contemporary Catholicism / $14.95 / 5 3 /8 x 8 / 208 pp. / Paperback The Road to Vatican I Maureen Sullivan The story of how through the theological insights and espousal of certain paradigm shifts of some key theologians so attuned to the workings of the Holy Spirit the Roman Catholic Church moved from a Pius IX at Vatican I ( ) a council which espoused a rigid, hierarchical model of church to a John XXIII at Vatican II ( ) a council which ushered in a collegial, communio model of church $ Questions & Answers on Vatican II Maureen Sullivan An informative and accessible guide to everything you want to know about Vatican II $14.95 Related Titles Living Vatican II The 21st Council for the 21st Century Gerald O'Collins, SJ Tells the story of how one of the leading theologians of the late twentieth century was personally affected by the ouncil and then explores the work of some institutions in Rome and elsewhere towards implementing the teaching and decisions of Vatican II, along with suggestions about the future life of the church $19.95 Theological Highlights of Vatican II Joseph Ratzinger now Pope Benedict XVI Joseph Ratzinger s report on the debates and struggles that made up each of the four sessions of Vatican II ( ), along with theological commentary $16.95 Paulist Press Publisher: Mark-David Janus, CSP MISSION STATEMENT Since 1865, as a mission of the Paulist Fathers, Paulist Press has published the best of Catholic thought at the intersection of faith and culture, using all contemporary media to communicate religious truths and to support people in their search for meaning Paulist Press Macarthur Blvd., Mahwah, NJ 07430

5 5 What Mary Means to Christians An Ancient Tradition Explained Reverend Peter M. J. Stravinskas Do Catholics actually worship Mary? What exactly is her role in Catholic Spirituality? How do Catholics justify their beliefs, some of which don t seem to have biblical attestation? In What Mary Means to Christians, theologian Peter Stravinskas provides concise but extremely thorough explanations of every aspect of the Marian tradition, including some interesting facts that Catholics themselves might not be aware of. Written not only for Catholics, but for non-catholics who want an objective explanation of Mariological beliefs, this invaluable resource for both lay people and clergy explains how the ancient tradition of devotion to the Blessed Mother is not just proper to Catholicism, but to the entire Christian tradition as a whole. Peter M. J. Stravinskas is the executive director of the Catholic Education Foundation; an editor at The Catholic Response; and publisher at Newman House Press. A well-known theologian and Catholic apologist, he speaks frequently on Catholic subjects and is the author of several books / $9.95 / 5 3 /8 x 8 / 112 pp. / Paperback Related Titles Mary in the Plan of God and in the Communion of Saints Toward a Common Christian Understanding Alain Blancy and Maurice Jourjon and the Dombes Group; translated by Matthew J.

Talking with Evangelicals A Guide for Catholics Ralph Del Colle It is imperative that Catholics and Evangelicals move beyond mutual stereotypes they may have of one another. In this book, part one provides a history of Evangelicalism and an answer the question of who is an Evangelical? Part two takes up specific issues that distinguish Catholics and Evangelicals. The method is intended to affirm a common faith while providing mutual understanding of the doctrines and practices that divide the two communities. It is directed more to the Catholic reader who when confronted by an Evangelical Christian often does not know how to respond. Special attention is given to the experiential aspects of Christian life that often place the Catholic Christian at a disadvantage such as a personal relationship with Christ. By exposing the underlying doctrinal differences and then appealing to the experiential register in both traditions, it is hoped that the book will equip Catholics to anticipate the fruitful possibilities of this dialogue. By taking up the challenge of Evangelicalism to Catholics as well as exposing some of its weaknesses, it is hoped that a more robust and ecumenical Catholic identity will emerge for the reader.

Marginalized and ignored by French historians for two centuries after her death, her spiritual writings have nonetheless remained consistently popular among English-speaking audiences. Guyon had a strong influence among Quakers and Methodists in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and her message of self-abnegation and the complete abandonment of individual desires in conformity to God s will continues to inspire many Christians today. This volume offers new, con temporary translations of her most important spiritual writings, including her Short and Easy Method of Prayer and her Commentary on the Song of Songs, never-before-translated letters of spiritual direction, and selections from her autobiography. The most comprehensive introduction to Guyon s life, theology, and historical context available in English, this book focuses on the religious and political conflicts responsible for her persecution and eventual imprisonment in the dreaded Bastille and examines her spiritual influences and theological contributions. Dianne Guenin-Lelle teaches in the modern languages and cultures department at Albion College. She received her PhD in seven teenth-century French literature from Louisiana State University. Ronney Mourad teaches in the religious studies department at Albion College. He received his PhD from the University of Chicago Divinity School. St. Irenaeus of Lyons Against the Heresies (Book 3) Translated and Annotated by Dominic J. Unger, OFM Cap, with an Introduction and Further Revisions by Irenaeus M. C. Steenberg ANCIENT CHRISTIAN WRITERS NO. 64 The magisterial Adversus Haereses by the second-century apologist and bishop Irenaeus of Lyons takes on the daunting task of refuting the heresies that had begun springing up in the Christian world. Book 3 of this five-book work is perhaps the most important of all: its overarching theme is to establish, as the rule of faith, that it is one and the same God and Father who was announced by the prophets, handed down by the Gospel, whom we Christians worship and love with our whole heart as the Creator of heaven and earth and of all things in them. Irenaeus does this by mining the Gospels for every shred of evidence that he can marshal to prove his points. This new translation and introduction, based on the most up-to-date sources, is an invaluable addition to scholarship on the most significant work by one of the most renowned authors in early Christianity. Matthew C. Steenberg is a deacon in the Russian Orthodox Church in Great Britain and Ireland and professor of theology at Leeds Trinity University College in Leeds, UK. He has authored many studies of early Christianity. To Order: info@paulistpress.com

8 8 PERFECT FOR LENT LIVING THE DAYS OF LENT 2012 edited by Ellen Dauwer, SC, and Mary McCormick, SC Ash Wednesday, February 22 From Ashes to Joy But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face. your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Matthew 6:17 18 For centuries, wearing ashes a sign of public humiliation acknowledges Christian penitents as sinners, those who have turned away from God. During the ritual we are reminded that we come from the earth and at the end of our lives we shall return to the earth. But viewed in the context of Easter, Ash Wednesday should be a day of great joy. As the Exultet proclaims, O happy fault! Only by acknowledging our sinful nature and repenting for the falsities and excesses of our lives can we change. Only by turning toward God can we be assured that we are more than dust, that we have been ransomed, that far more awaits us than the grave. Today, as I wear the ashes of humiliation, may I be joyful, for today is the acceptable time to turn to God, to accept the grace of God. Today is the day of salvation! Readings: Joel 2:12 18; Psalm 51:3 6, 12 14, 17; 2 Corinthians 5:20 6:2; Matthew 6:1 6,16 18 Thursday, February 23 The Daily Cross Then he said to them all, If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it. Luke 9:23 24 In response to Peter s declaration that Jesus is the Messiah of God, Jesus teaches his followers what being the Messiah, the anointed one, really means. He breaks apart the traditional meaning: the king of Davidic lineage who will deliver Israel and restore its golden age in the worldly sense. Jesus teaches us that self-denial and suffering even to the point of death lead to freedom and everlasting life. By reversing the curse of the first man s disobedience, the Son of Man s obedience even unto death ransoms us as daughters and sons of God. Today, as I reflect on the paradoxes of the Gospel message, may I joyfully accept the crosses in my life, viewing those burdens as my participation in God s salvation of the world. Readings: Deuteronomy 30:15 20; Psalm 1:1 4, 6; Luke 9:22 25 Living the Days of Lent 2012 continues the Paulist tradition of the popular a-page-a-day format this series has seen for over 25 years.

My friend Bartholomew, who s left? the angel asked, with just a thread of a voice. The man scratched his head. My dear boy, are you sure the girl still lives in Nazareth? Just last year, three families moved to Jerusalem and among them were at least two Marys. The girl lives here. I m sure of it. Help me one more time, please. There aren t many Marys left. The daughter of Simon the cart driver. The daughter of Andrew the carpenter. Oh and the daughter of Joseph the goat-herder. Who s Joseph the goat-herder? asked the angel, curious.

His face became radiant as only that of an angel can be. Greetings, favored one! he said. The Lord is with you. But the young girl was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. The angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end. Mary said to the angel, How can this be, since I am a virgin? The angel said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore, the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.
