9781589010277: Common Calling: The Laity and Governance of the Catholic Church

Inhaltsangabe

The recent lawsuits against the Catholic Church have caused many US Catholics to consider if and how the laity should be more involved in its governance. This collection of 13 essays, written by both clergy and laity, examines the historical background of early Church governance and the traditions associated with laity involvement, and contemporary perspectives including the feminist and even the Baptist. Contributors examine issues of participatory hierarchy, the contributions of canon law, participation of the laity of the early Church in doctrine, religious education, and a preview of what the Church might become in the third millennium.
