In evidenza

24 Settembre 2018

Gerry O’Shaughnessy, SDB, surveys the influences and legacies of the six Popes of the modern era, from Pius XII to Francis. In this fascinating book, Gerry explores the impact of the First and Second World Wars, changes to the Mass, and the challenges in Church and society faced by our most recent Popes. Each chapter ends with a set of questions for reflection, challenging the reader to consider how we as individuals and as parishes respond to aspects of the Gospel-based guidance from each of the Holy Fathers, and engage with pastoral work.

“Pastoral Popes. Living the Gospel in Modern Parish Life” is a survey of the influences and legacies of our six most recent popes, set in the context of pastoral guidance and modern parish life.
