It is thought to be the only the Study Guide introducing the Apostolic Exhortation, http://www.indcatholicnews.com/news.php?viewStory=22456 2013-05-02T17:36:21Z 2013-05-02T17:36:21Z The election of Jorge Bergoglio as Pope Francis has reinvigorated interest in the Church for many people, both Catholics and non-Catholics alike. With a winning smile and a casual ‘Buona Sera’ the new Pope greeted the world, and the world was entranced. His message of simplicity, and his commitment to the poor and marginalised, have attracted the rapt attention of an often cynical world. So who is Francis, Bishop of Rome, the man his colleagues went ‘to the end of the world’ to find? This short biography by Fr Michael Collins, Vatican expert and biographer http://www.indcatholicnews.com/news.php?viewStory=22404 2013-04-24T16:38:09Z 2013-04-24T16:38:09Z In August 2011, more than 4,000 young pilgrims left Britain in the midst of the London looting and and arrived in Madrid for the World Youth Day celebrations. During this time, many of them had transformational life experiences - including Jo-Anne Rowney, Paula Mendez and James Kelleher. They got together and collected testimonies from the people they met along the way, to produce this beautiful book: 'World Youth Day: Inspiring Generations' which has just been published as an e-book on Amazon. http://www.indcatholicnews.com/news.php?viewStory=22232 2013-03-25T19:19:33Z 2013-03-25T19:19:33Z Two books written by Pope Francis when he was Cardinal Archbishop of Buenos Aires were launched in the Civiltà Cattolica offices in Rome yesterday. Both in Italian, they are a collection of addresses he gave in 2005. They draw on the spirituality of St Ignatius of Loyola and deal with humility in the Church and the fight against corruption in the Church and society. Speakers at the meeting chaired by Fr Antonio Spadaro, editor-in-chief of the Jesuit journal, were Lucetta Scaraffia, an Italian historian, Fr Luigi Ciotti and Lorenzo Fazzini, director of Editrice Missionaria Italiana. http://www.indcatholicnews.com/news.php?viewStory=22098 2013-03-07T14:51:23Z 2013-03-07T14:51:23Z 'The Christian of the future will be a mystic or he or she will not exist at all' - It is these words written by the Theologian Karl Rahner that were the inspiration for this book: Praying with Christian Mystics, by Annetta Maguire. It is intended as an introduction to the life and teachings of four great Christian mystics; Julian of Norwich, St Teresa of Avila, St John of the Cross and Meister Eckhart. By reading and reflecting on passages from their writings a desire to study them in more depth may arise in the reader.
