Comments: Softcover from Riehle Foundation (1984), this is A rebel from riches: The autobiography of an unpremeditated monk by Bede Reynolds.

by Frederick E Crowe
Product Group: Book
ISBN: B0006BVIJK
Binding/Media: Hardcover - 168 pages
Condition: Good
Comments: What was the temper of the times in the Catholic Church in 1968, a few years into the post-Vatican II turmoil and confusion? This book by Jesuit theologian Frederick E. Crowe gives a glimpse into that world, by the issues the author addresses. Hardcover with dj, this is A Time of Change: Guidelines for the Perplexed Catholic, 1968 from The Bruce Publishing Company. The book's core theme is "What is aggiornamento and what are its parameters, difficulties and challenges?" The text is divided into three parts, I) Guidelines, II) Problems and III) Limits. From what I have read in browsing the book, it seems also aptly suited for today's issues in Catholicism. Fr. Crowe considered his audience to be Catholics in their mid-30's and older in the late 60's, whose difficulties with the changing Church were of a different nature than those of older Catholics. A primary concern of his audience was, "What of our children? What effect will the aggiornamento with modern culture have on the passing on of the Faith?" We are those children and grandchildren. What effect did the decades that came after Vatican II have on the Faith? This copy has shelf dirt accumulated around the corner edges, some edge wear, a little chipping and rubbing of the dust jacket. The pages are clean, but age-tanned. With Nihil obstat, Imprimatur, and Imprimi potest. « if ( document.getElementById ) { document.writeln('Show less'); }
