The Source of Controversy

By Mariusz Biliniewicz

Series: Routledge Focus on Religion

0.0 (0 reviews)

Summary

Amoris Laetitia, Pope Francis' post-synodal exhortation on love in the family, has sparked significant controversy within the Catholic Church. Published after the 2014 and 2015 Synods on the Family, the document's interpretation remains disputed among bishops, theologians, and pastors. This book connects the disputed interpretations of Amoris Laetitia with the notion of "the spirit of Vatican II," arguing that embracing this spirit offers the most promising hermeneutical approach to understanding and implementing the exhortation.

Mariusz Biliniewicz delves into these debates within Catholic theology, offering insight into one of contemporary Catholicism's most contentious topics.

This book is ideal for theologians, clergy, and engaged lay readers interested in contemporary Catholic debates on marriage, pastoral care, and Church teaching, particularly those seeking a scholarly yet accessible exploration of Amoris Laetitia in the context of Vatican II.

Description

Amoris Laetitia, Pope Francis' post-synodal exhortation on love in the family, turned out to be one of the most controversial documents of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church in recent decades. It was published in April 2016 following the two "Synods of Bishops on the Family" held in 2014 and 2015.

The document brought division amongst the Catholic hierarchy, theologians, and pastors, and nearly two years after its publication the exact meaning of the document and its implications for the Church are still a matter of dispute. A number of prelates present at the Synods indicated that these gatherings were animated by "the spirit of Vatican II."

This work links the notion of "the spirit of Vatican II" with Amoris Laetitia and argues that a hermeneutics of interpretation of the Second Vatican Council, which focuses on following "the spirit of the Council," is the hermeneutics which can be, and in the future most likely will be, the predominant way of interpreting and implementing Amoris Laetitia.

This book aims to provide a contribution to this hotly debated topic in the field of Catholic theology.

"In the context of one of contemporary Catholicism’s most contentious debates, this work helpfully presents the differing interpretations of Amoris laetitia and successfully argues their relation to how Vatican II documents were received. Highly recommended." - Paul Morrissey, President of Campion College, Australia

The book is praised for its carefully reviewed bibliography and balanced, respectful language addressing the controversial issue of access to sacraments for divorced and remarried Catholics. It is described as a small but precious contribution to understanding Catholic self-understanding today.
