Youth & Family Encounter at WYD 2008. Opus Dei vs. Regnum Christi. OK, here we go again. I know that the OP did not intend this thread to turn into this, but it seems that every few weeks, an Opus Dei thread gets started and the link to ODAN is posted. I agree with Slyboots that that site is much ado about nothing. A lot of sour-grapes/jealousy, if you ask me.

Having said that, Holy Family, I find the overconfidence of your assertions about both organizations, based on two sour-grapes websites, completely astounding! Quote: Of course, all the evil things we read online about someone must be true, right?! Put that up against Toni's years of real-world experience and you have a lot of nothing! Now we're in my backyard. I was not aware the the Church needed rebuilding. I have yet to meet anyone involved with the Work who was "spiritually blackmailed" or abused in any way.

Of course, one does not need Opus Dei to be Catholic! It's not for everyone, but for those called to it, it makes us better Catholics than we would otherwise be! God bless you all! "'Bella' is the Fruit of Regnum Christi" I received this email from Regnum Christi, the lay movement of the Legionaries of Christ.Bella is an award-winning movie directed and produced by Regnum Christi members who wanted to use their talents for a noble mission.Director Alejandro Monteverde, starring actor Eduardo Verastegui, and producer Sean Wolfington got into the film-making business for more than a profit. They wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. And so, Bella was born: a beautiful pro-humanity movie that wins respect by its own merits as a work of art, and wins hearts because it touches people on a level deeper than any argument can reach. It’s a simple story about real people with flaws, mistakes, and a tragic past who are nonetheless capable of rising to the occasion and making extraordinary decisions.

He sent the Twelve to proclaim the Kingdom and to call people to repentance and conversion, to metanoia (cf. Mark 6:12). The Risen Christ transmitted His own power of reconciliation to them: "Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive, are forgiven them" (John 20: 22-23). This Vademecum traces its origin to the particular pastoral sensitivity of the Holy Father, who has entrusted the task of preparing this aid for confessors to the Pontifical Council for the Family.

If, on a doctrinal level, the Church has a solid awareness of the requirements of the Sacrament of Penance, it cannot be denied that a certain void has been forming with regard to implementing these teachings in pastoral practice. "To evoke conversion and penance in man's heart and to offer him the gift of reconciliation is the specific mission of the Church (...). 1. 2. 3. 1. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 2. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 3. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

In the seventh conversation ("dialexis" - controversy) edited by Professor Khoury, the emperor touches on the theme of the holy war. At this point, as far as understanding of God and thus the concrete practice of religion is concerned, we are faced with an unavoidable dilemma. In all honesty, one must observe that in the late Middle Ages we find trends in theology which would sunder this synthesis between the Greek spirit and the Christian spirit.

This gives rise to two principles which are crucial for the issue we have raised. SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Tertia Pars. St. John's Catholic Newman Center : Institute of Catholic Thought : Credit Courses : Religious Studies 447. HPR | Papal Authority in von Balthasar's Ecclesiology. Hans urs von balthasar - theo-drama. In some ways the Theo-Drama is an attempt to explicate the infinite, absolute sovereign freedom of God in relation to the dependent, limited freedom of man in God and to construct a theology of history, a Christology, and a theological anthropology (inseparable tasks in Balthasar’s mind).

But in his discussion of freedom Balthasar sets aside much of the traditional language of efficient causality, secondary causes, concursus, and the like, in order to meditate on the images of drama—particularly those of playwright, director, and actor. In the first instance, this drama finds its expression in the life of the Trinity—the author is the Father, the actor is the Son, and the director is the Spirit. But in redemptive history Christ is the chief actor and we are call to be co-actors with Him.

God Himself is infinitely free, but in non-Christian thought the idea of God’s freedom always falls into difficulties in, at least, one of two ways. Salvation in Christ Luther, Rahner, and Girard. Love Alone is Believable: Hans Urs von Balthasar's Apologetics | by Fr. John R. Cihak. Love Alone is Believable: Hans Urs von Balthasar’s Apologetics | Monsignor John R. Cihak | Ignatius Insight Print-friendly version The greatest challenge I find in bringing someone to Christ and his Church is finding ways to engage him in meaningful conversation. Talk of truth is often met with a yawn, and an assertion about what is good is met with a stare of incomprehension.

In the malaise of contemporary American life, people do not seem to be moved much by claims of truth or goodness. Though people may glaze over when one makes claims of truth and goodness, their ears seem to perk up at the mention of beauty: the flash of lightening across the sky, the dramatic auburn colors of a late summer sunset, a sublime snatch of music whether it be Mozart’s Requiem or a David Gilmour guitar solo. An even more intense encounter is with the beauty that expresses human love: the exhilaration when love is extended and the other’s eyes sparkle, trembling lips break into a smile and say "Yes.
