Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Theology - Practical Theology, grade: 1.0, Kwame Nkrumah University, language: English, abstract: This paper was presented to the St Ignatius Christian Life Community [CLC], one of the thousands of CLC cell-groups in all five continents. The St Ignatius CLC is the oldest such group in Zambia. The current members of the group go back over 30 years of belonging to the community. While preparing to deliver this paper via Zoom on 29 November 2020, it occured to me that for members of Christian Life Community who wish to understand 'The Spirit of Fratelli Tutti,' they need not look further than the ethos and spirituality of CLC. I challenged members of CLC to ask themselves: how can CLC help us to live out the Spirit of Fratelli Tutti I reminded the participants that the number of Papal Encyclicals since the modern era is staggering. From the papacy of Pope Benedict XIV (1740-1758), to the papacy of Pope Francis, it is estimated that 299 encyclicals have been churned in the modern era but it looks like most of them ended on shelves in presbyteries around the world and did not reach the ordinary Christian in the pew. There may have been many reasons for that such as the pyramidal structure of the Church which saw the Church through the lens of the clergy. I feared that this may be the way of Fratelli Tutti if we did not do anything about it. That is why this Zoom conference was important and in many ways. It was something of a first - it was organised by lay people and delivered by a lay person. I challenged participants to go back to their families, neighbourhoods, parishes, Small Christian Communities, country, continent and even planet to ask, 'What does Fratelli Tutti mean for my family, neighbourhood, parish, Small Christian Community, country, continent and even planet '.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Document from the year 2021 in the subject Sociology - Religion, grade: 1.0, Kwame Nkrumah University, language: English, abstract: This article seeks 'to expose the falseness or hollowness' of a millennia-old ideology. I intend to critique what I have described, with a modicum of poetic licence, as the father of the postmodern evil Demon known as patriarchy by turning on its head, an op-ed by Cardinal Wilfrid Napier entitled 'Patriarchy is not the source of all evil' which got my scribal juices flowing. I explore the origins of patriarchy going back to about four millennia ago in Mesopotamia in the Ancient Near East and show that patriarchy in both religion and society is the source of the post-modern evils of domination, colonisation, and othering others, suppressing and dehumanising them, especially if these others are women, simply because men can pee while standing. This has been the case since at least four millennia ago if not earlier. Patriarchy is not limited to domination of women. In fact, it began at the time of the shift from homo sapiens being hunter-gatherers to sedentary agriculturalists when gender roles begun to be defined. Men specialised in bringing home the bacon as warriors and bread winners while women focused on child rearing. Patriarchy is now so steeped in religion and society that men are unlikely to relinquish it any time soon because it is in the interests of the menfolk to perpetuate it. Soon after the elf-like President Frederick Chiluba came into power in a landslide election win in 1991, he was heard to remark to close aides, one of whom I know, 'Power is sweet.' I have employed two lenses to examine the evil of patriarchy: critical theory and ideology. I take cognizance of the phenomenon of patriarchy being so pernicious and widely accepted, even revered ideology that it needs to be critiqued and debunked.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Scientific Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Didactics - Theology, Religion Pedagogy, grade: 1.0, Kwame Nkrumah University, language: English, abstract: This elaboration draws out what the author refers to as the 'Spirit of Fratelli Tutti' from the recent encyclical by Pope Francis entitled Fratelli Tutti. He provides a socio-religious or theological perspective on the new encyclical. Based on three social virtues, fraternity, solidarity and social friendship, the encyclical is a call to humanity to unite and to build a brave new world order after the Covid-19 pandemic.He has limited himself to examining why the encyclical has been well-received, how Covid-19 calls us to a new way of being human in which humanity is being challenged not to return to business as usual in the way we deal with each other; how natural evil, such as a pandemic, cannot thwart the plan of the creator; how the new encyclical, Fratelli Tutti factors into a new World Order and ending with five lessons he was able to cull from Fratelli Tutti.Written, as the Pope says, when 'the Covid-19 pandemic unexpectedly erupted, exposing our false securities' (Pope Francis, Fratelli Tutti 2020: par 7), he uses that as a jumping off point to challenge the age-old theologoumenon of the impassibility of God. He argues that God in fact suffers as he has been suffering during the Covid-19 pandemic, but he is not overwhelmed by suffering. Fratelli Tutti calls for a new way of relating to each other as our brothers' and sisters' keepers, as we head towards Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Document from the year 2020 in the subject Theology - Practical Theology, grade: 1,0, Kwame Nkrumah University, language: English, abstract: This satirical article examines the case of the fictitious suspension of a Catholic priest, John Mwanyenga of Kabuchende parish in Ulufyengo archdiocese in the fictional country of Zambezia. Its main characters are all fictitious and any similarity to actual historical persons and places are purely coincidental designed to explore in depth the use of hard power in the Catholic Church. The aim of the article is to shine a spotlight on a too often occurrence in the Catholic Church in the relationship between priests and bishop which involves a miscarriage of justice. This issue is closely linked with the secretive and archaic method of appointing Catholic bishops destined to lead Catholic dioceses.…

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Theology - Historic Theology, Ecclesiastical History, grade: 1.0, Kwame Nkrumah University, language: English, abstract: Like the recent searingly honest McCarrick-Report, this paper is a no-holds barred analysis of the sexual abuse scandal generated by the high-profile former Cardinal Archbishop of Washington, Theodore McCarrick. This paper argues that the McCarrick-Report is a sign of a dysfunctional system held together by clericalism, patriarchy, secrecy, and sovereignty. Sexual abuse in the Catholic Church will not be rooted out unless the two twin villains of clericalism and patriarchy, secrecy and sovereignty are abolished.In terms of its hierarchy, it needs to reflect the rest of society comprising male and female, straight and gay, married and celibate, young and old. This paper highlights the unprecedented nature of this report from the Secretariat of State. As John Allen says, 'In the end, it's possible the McCarrick Report may be remembered as the single most consequential step toward reform during the Francis papacy, not only because of what it reveals about this particular case, but the precedent it sets for how all future cases ought to be handled. Once the genie of transparency is out of the bottle, that is, it's going to be awfully difficult to put it back in.'It is hoped that one of the corollaries of the McCarrick Report is to lead to a change in the way bishops are appointed in the Catholic Church. They ought to be elected by their constituency to a limited or even to a lower retirement age of 65 or whichever comes first.…

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.0, Kwame Nkrumah University (School of Humanities and Social Sciences), course: Religious Studies / Religion and Politics, language: English, abstract: This article examines the theological symbiosis or lack thereof between Joe Biden, Pope Francis and the US Catholic bishops. My argument is that Joe Biden and Pope Francis model authentic Catholic Social Teaching and faith in the public square, especially the former who, as a non-ecclesiastic doesn't have to. I find the US Catholic bishops ambivalent. They talk a good game but walk an ambivalent one. I point to three examples: how they demonised Joe Biden during his campaign for the US presidency, canonised Donald Trump and how they have dealt with sexual abuse by priests, bishops and cardinals. In this latter case, I reluctantly agree with the views of a rogue Prince of the Church, Carlo Maria Viganò. The unusual triumvirate of Joe Biden, Pope Francis and the US Conference of Catholic Bishops which I examine here are held up to the litmus test of Catholic Social Teaching. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Theology - Biblical Theology, grade: 1.0, Kwame Nkrumah University, course: Biblical Theology, language: English, abstract: This article critiques Ellen G White's classic, 'The Great Controversy', an account of how the conflict between Christ and Satan has panned out in history, beginning with the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 CE. The article uncovers the ideological underpinnings of The Great Controversy which includes a literalistic approach to apocalyptic literature using the insights of Teun A. van Dijk 'Ideology and discourse analysis.'While the hermeneutical vicissitudes of The Great Controversy are understandable in the light of nineteenth century biblical interpretation, the book is open to criticism in the light of the historical-critical method of interpreting scriptures associated with the likes of Hermann Gunkel and Julius Wellhausen, to name two of its progenitors. One way to understand what is going in The Great Controversy is to postulate a literary technique common to the apocalyptic genre of Vaticinium ex Eventu which Ellen G White, along with many of her contemporaries construed as futuristic.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Polemic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Theology - Practical Theology, Kwame Nkrumah University, course: Religious Studies, language: English, abstract: This article expands and justifies the authors view that the Pope does not say anything new nor has he re-written Catholic moral and sacramental theology on homosexuality and same-sex partnerships.The author asks two questions: Does the Pope's endorsement of same-sex unions signify a change in the Catholic Church's teaching on marriage and homosexuality What has Pope Francis said about same-sex unions in the past Surprisingly, the answers to both questions are fairly straightforward. Marriage is still a covenant between a man and a woman - a relationship which is open to the generation of new life. Same-sex partnerships or unions cannot be put in the same basket. The Pope suggests instead, the legal recognition of what he calls 'Convivencia civil' picked up and translated as 'civil union' by the Press. The recent papal opinions are complicated by translational challenges from Spanish to English and redaction from the unedited footage and text of the Mexican outlet Televisa to Evgeny Afineevsky's redaction of the Russian-born film director, producer and cinematographer who lives in the United States. The Pope's view is neither new nor contradictory to the perennial teaching of the Catholic.The shift is in pastoral approach to ensure the non-marginalisation of homosexual families. Pope Francis expressed the same view in 2010 when Argentina was debating same-sex marriage which he opposed. Instead, he suggested what is generally known as same-sex unions which guarantees the rights of gay people but does rise to the same doctrinal, sacramental or canonical status as the traditional heterosexual marriage between a man and a woman, freely entered into and open to the generation of new life.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Didactics - Theology, Religion Pedagogy, grade: 1.0, Kwame Nkrumah University, language: English, abstract: This present article aims at debunking the popular notion abroad, of a prophet as someone who foretells the future in the manner of someone who has a speed dial to God and is afforded a telescopic view into the future not available to ordinary mortals.A Zambian online newspaper, Zambian Eye, reported that Prophet T B Joshua was able to prophesy the enmity between President Edgar Lungu of Zambia and his nemesis, Hakainde Hichilema after the death in office of the incumbent, Michael Chilufya Sata.But prophetic revelations know no bounds. Their predictions range from predicting who in their congregation will be driving a BMW or will be pregnant this time next year, presumably with a little libidinal help from the prophet showing the woman's husband how to do it while she ecstatically reaches orgasm shouting, 'Alleluia' to who will win the elections in the United States because God is really bothered about the political affiliation of US presidents because of the country's privilege of exceptionalism.The paper tries to show that all this nouveau prophetism is a misunderstanding of the office of prophet in both the Hebrew Bible and Christian Bible. Rather than foretell the future, the prophet is someone who forth-tells - tells it as it is - whether about the past, present or future doesn't matter.In the process, the popularity of modern prophets as God's merchandisers, usually for personal gain, is discussed. As in the Hebrew Bible and Christian Bible there were always true and false prophets. How to tell the difference, one from the other was the recent conversation I had with my colleague whose niece had been haunted by a modern false prophet. If the truth be told and to be fair to latter-day prophets, the choice is not always binary, that is, either true or false. There are fifty shades of grey in between, to adapt a trope from E.L. James' erotica of the same title ranging from the genuine to the charlatan or spiritual conman.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Polemic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Theology - Historic Theology, Ecclesiastical History, grade: 1.0, Kwame Nkrumah University, language: English, abstract: This article examines the significance of the breaking news - at least on 11 January 2021- from the Vatican about Pope Francis modifying Canon 2301 of the Code of Canon Law to officially grant women access to the ministries of lector and acolyte. The breaking news, I argue, was not about 'Access of Women to the Ministries of Lector and Acolyte' but 'Modifying Canon 2301 of the Code of Canon Law'.This article explores why this is significant and whether ultimately it could lead to the full Monty of the ordination of women to the Catholic diaconate, presbyterate and episcopate. Although coming 62 years too late after the decision by Pope John XXIII on 25 January 1959 to renew the 1917 Code of Canon Law, the recent decision to modify the Code in this regard is a significant step in Bergoglian reforms enabling women what Sacrosanctum Concilium described as 'that fully conscious and active participation'. With the Apostolic Letter Spiritus Domini and the letter to the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Pope Francis has effectively opened the door slightly ajar for the ordination of women as deacons, priests and bishops in the Catholic Church.The modification of Canon 2301 has chipped at two mountains in the way of female ordination: male-gendered clericalism and patriarchy. In practice though, what has happened is that canonical legislation has just caught up with Sensus Fidelium in many parts of the Catholic Church where women ply their trade as lectors and acolytes or extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist on an equal footing with their women folk.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Theology - Historic Theology, Ecclesiastical History, grade: 1.0, Kwame Nkrumah University, language: English, abstract: This article provides a theoretical and literature framework accompanying a currently ongoing six-month post-doctoral research project, 'Female Catholic Ordination to the Diaconate, Priesthood and Episcopate: A Constructivist-Epistemological-Phenomenological Inquiry,' a post-doctoral research project submitted to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Kabwe, Zambia and the University of Pretoria in Pretoria, South Africa.Essentially, the article debunks the argument of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church that 'the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful'. The argument goes something like this. The priest presiding at Mass does so in persona Christi [in the person of Christ], therefore the priest must be male because Jesus was male, at least for 30-plus of his life in first century Palestine. The priest stands in for Jesus and therefore has to have a 'natural resemblance' to the earthly Jesus, and that resemblance is his maleness. Just why this male resemblance is important is not set out in black and white. Being human or Jesus' post-resurrection status in which gender or sex are irrelevant, do not cut the ontological mustard.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Polemic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Theology - Historic Theology, Ecclesiastical History, grade: 1.0, Kwame Nkrumah University, language: English, abstract: This article aims at examining the Catholic Church's indefensible and ambivalent position on homosexuality vis-à-vis the Catholic priesthood. I conclude that while its teaching is clear, in my view erroneous, its practice is ambivalent due to the many gay priests among its ranks, even some would say, up to the highest level of cardinals as the recent McCarrick Report (2020) by the Vatican Secretariat of State revealed.On one level, the answer to the question whether gay men, and by extension gay women, should be admitted to the Catholic priesthood or not is a straightforward affirmative. They should. This is probably a left of centre position. It is my position. Carlo Maria Viganò calls it 'an anti-Church of heretics, corrupt men and fornicators' who include 'the Vatican Sanhedrin' or what he calls 'the deep Church' as I have mentioned below. It would argue with evidence in bucket loads that there are already gay clerics - both high and low - in the Catholic priesthood but only men, I hasten to add. I know a handful. In my erstwhile career as a Catholic seminary lecturer, I personally knew a gay priest colleague, an amiable fellow if ever there was one. There was queer talk about him wherever he had been posted but nothing concrete until at his last post he was reported to the Zambian police for sexual abuse of two teenage boys. May be if it had not been for the age of his victims, he might still be in the gay closet.…
