that a Council not be followed by great confusion.” Gaillardetz shows that the two major proponents for helping to understand the council documents were Pope Paul VI and John Paul II. There are several references to their writings as Pope that clarified misunderstandings or built upon the teachings in the documents. A key issue that Pope Paul VI built upon was the inclusion of the laity in the sensus fidei, in the discernment of church matters. Gaillardetz notes in the 1980s American bishops adopted

Blessed Pope Paul VI was born September 26, 1897 as Giovanni Battista Montini in Concesio, a small town north of Brescia, Italy. Giovanni’s father was a middle class lawyer and journalist and local politician. His mother was of similar social background. Due to poor health, Giovanni studied mainly at home in his early life. Later, he studied in Brescia and was ordained a priest on May 29, 1920, at the age of twenty two. He was then sent to Rome for higher studies by his Bishop. Giovanni was eventually

resolved within. Selections from Nostra Aetate, Caritas in Veritate: Charity in Truth, and Letter from Birmingham Jail guide us to what it means to live a life of meaning and purpose. Nostra Aetate written by Pope Paul VI reflects the importance and purpose of our life. Charity in Truth by Pope Benedict XVI, aids us to identify what makes us human. Letter from Birmingham Jail supports

Pope Paul VI pushed to bring back together the cardinals and reconvene Vatican II. By doing this, he changed our church. Our liturgy would be different if he hadn’t reconvened Vatican II. By understanding his history, maybe we can come to understand his motives to Change the Church. Our future pope was born in Brescia, Lombardy on September 27, 1897 under the name Giovanni Battista Montini. He was born to a prominent newspaper editor. He had very bad health as a child, so the priests allowed him

asserts that moral reasoning is not a human construct, but rather it comes from God. God is all-knowing and all-good as his plan for salvation was conceived in “wisdom and love” (Pope Paul VI). God delivered Christ to humanity to save humans from evil, and those who follow Christ will “walk in the light of life”(Pope Paul VI). Christ established the Church, and the church is the pillar of truth, and transmits the truth of

Through critical analysis of Pope Paul VI’s encyclical regarding artificial birth control, it is possible to infer his views on Natural Law and God’s Plan and then translate this to modern issues regarding embryonic research. Because of his strong adherence to Catholic values, his approach to artificial birth control as related to embryonic stem cell research would refuse to fully contemplate utilitarian and deontological approaches to embryonic stem cell research. Thus, his views are incompatible

Human life is a sacred right that all individuals possess. It is unlawful and mortally sinful to take away or prevent the life of an infant. “Human life is sacred—all men must recognize that fact,” said Pope John XXIII in defense of the unborn (John XXIII). To be truly pro-life, one must accept that doing so does not only refer to being opposed to abortion, but also being opposed to birth control and contraception. The Catholic Church has professed for two thousand years that the conjugal act is

Women are NOT Objects For as long as many can remember, women have had a difficult time dealing with things that men have been able to do with ease. For example, throughout history, it has always been said that men were the only ones allowed to vote for their future president, whereas women were not. Another example was back in the 60’s when women were advertised with sexist jobs such as being house wives while men were to be treated courteously (Sex-Appeals-in-Advertising). With that said, when

the lay Missionaries of Charity try to follow Mother Teresa's spirit and charism in their families. Mother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards. From Nobel Lectures, Peace 1971-1980, Editor-in-Charge

Mathematics and theology have blossomed together throughout history with many great mathematicians also being great theologians. However, in the modern scientific era, mathematics has become by and large secularized in mainstream academia. Although the secularization of mathematics seems to ignore mathematics’ metaphysical value, in truth, this secularization allows for mathematics to act as a universal tool and allows the individual to attach his or her own personal truths without marginalizing
