La Crisis en la Iglesia: Un Diálogo Semi-Ficticio entre Un Católico en Evolución Post-Vaticano II James Marley y una Católica de la Doctrina-Eterna Ronda Chervin
TESTIMONIALS
“Cuando Eclesiastés 7:12 explicó que “la sabiduría da vida a los que la poseen”, su autor no necesitaba más que Ronda Chervin como explicación de lo que quería decir. En este diálogo comprometido, Chervin expone las divisiones en nuestra Iglesia y revela la gracia que es necesaria para sanarlas.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, co-autor con Dra. Ronda Chervin de Catholic Realism.
“La mayoría de los católicos sienten que desde la época del Vaticano la Iglesia ha estado experimentando una crisis, que generalmente describirían como una experiencia de división sin precedentes, que, inquietantemente, se manifiesta más claramente en el área de la doctrina. Si bien esto es ciertamente cierto … hay más en esta crisis. Chervin, la filósofa católica más articulada de la Iglesia hoy en día (¡70 libros publicados y contando!) abre este tema (que ha existido durante tanto tiempo que la gente está empezando a aceptarlo como la “nueva normalidad”) de una manera verdaderamente fascinante, es decir, en sí mismo … sin precedente. A través de un diálogo amistoso, pero intenso con un colega, el Dr. Chervin demuestra (como solo un filósofo puede) que la lucha espiritual de la era moderna, que es la base subyacente de la crisis en la Iglesia, es la cuestión “políticamente incorrecta” de … La verdad. Como señaló el cardenal Joseph Ratzinger en su libro… Verdad y tolerancia (Ignatius Press, 2004; p.193): “La confianza para buscar la verdad y encontrarla nunca es anacrónica: es precisamente esto lo que mantiene la dignidad del hombre, lo que rompe el particularismo y lo que lleva a los hombres unos hacia otros más allá de los límites de sus entornos culturales sobre la base de su dignidad común”. El nuevo libro del Dr. Chervin, a través de un enfoque dialógico (que ha sido defendido por el filósofo griego Sócrates, el filósofo judío Martin Buber y el filósofo católico San Juan Pablo II) muestra que en medio de esta crisis, hay esperanza … así como una oportunidad para el crecimiento y la curación.” — Fr. Lawrence Edward Tucker, SOLT, autor de The Prayer of Jesus Crucified, Adventures In The Father’s Joy, To Whom The Heart Decided To Love, y The Redemption of San Isidro.
