When one thinks of evangelization and missionary life, often one of the first people to spring to mind is St Paul. In our December issue one of our regular contributors Prof. Marc Rastoin from the Pontifical Biblical Institute of Rome looks at the life of St Paul, the apostle par excellence.
Continuing his series on the Virtues Giovanni Cucci, looks at Fortitude: A demanding virtue, revealing it is an indispensable virtue for living together. When it is lacking, evils of all kinds flourish, because those who could prevent them fail to take a stand!.
Andrea Vicini, one of our regular U.S. contributors and another educator, is a moral theologian and bioethicist at Boston College. In Pope Francis, Vaccines and Global Health he reflects on the importance of commitment to health care and identified three significant areas that comprise one solution: traditional health care practice; public health; and global health.
Pope Francis’ new motu proprio Traditionis Custodes (“Guardians of Tradition”), addresses necessary changes to the Roman Missal in Unity and Concord in the Use of the Roman Missal: An analysis of ‘Traditionis Custodes’. Francis himself is our guide, explaining in this letter the reasons that led him to pronounce on the use of this liturgical book that for more than thirty years has been in search of peace.
Following on from Spiritual Parents, published in the November issue, we have another piece from Miguel Angel Fiorito Spiritual Discernment. Fiorito explains the search for God at every moment is the hinge on which Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s whole doctrine of spiritual discernment turns.
