Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Hope for the World is a very well-thought out interview book between American Cardinal Burke and a French author, Guillaume d'Alançon. The book covers Burke's life growing up in Wisconsin, as well as his views on current issues in the church, both liturgical and administrative (i.e. what is the role of a bishop). It makes for interesting reading and he comes out as a very articulate advocate for his views. Unfortunately, rather like last year's God or Nothing by Cardinal Sarah, I think that only those who already agree with him will read it, which is a shame, because he says a lot about the Church worth think about and pondering over. Highly recommended. ( ) no reviews | add a review
In a thorough and hard-hitting discussion, Cardinal Raymond Burke frankly offers his thoughts and insights on the pressing issues of our times: the role of the Catholic Church in the modern world, the liturgy, spiritual renewal, marriage and family, respect for human life, and more. His deep love for Christ is evident as he recounts his own upbringing in a devout Catholic family, his early priestly years, and his service as a bishop in the United States and Rome Every topic is approached from the perspective of deep faith and sound reasoning, without polemics. Cardinal Burke, a great canonist with long pastoral experience, treats difficult subjects with clarity and directness. His lucid and straightforward answers help with understanding the essential moral and spiritual challenges of today. They uncover the foundational truths of the natural law, which is written on our hearts. No library descriptions found. |
