Paul J. Griffiths, "Why Read Pascal?"
English | ISBN: 0813233844 | 2021 | 264 pages | PDF | 1523 KB
Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) is known in the English-speaking world principally for the wager (an argument that it is rational to do what will affect belief in God and irrational not to), and, more generally, for the Pensées, a collection of philosophical and theological fragments of unusual emotional and intellectual intensity collected and published after his death. He thought and wrote, however, about much more than this: mathematics; physics; grace, freedom, and predestination; the nature of the church; the Christian life; what it is to write and read; the order of things; the nature and purpose of human life; and more. He was among the polymaths of the seventeenth century, and among the principal apologists of his time for the Catholic faith, against both its Protestant opponents and its secular critics.
Goertz, ""Who Am I to Judge?": Homosexuality and the Catholic Church"
English | ISBN: 3110705028 | 2021 | 500 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Die Haltung der katholischen Kirche gegenüber Homosexualität ist nach wie vor zwiespältig: Homosexuelle sollen geachtet und nicht diskriminiert werden, aber ihre intimen Beziehungen werden moralisch verurteilt. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes plädieren für eine Änderung dieser Position. Homosexualität ist als Variante menschlicher Beziehungs- und Liebesfähigkeit anzuerkennen. Dazu werden exegetische, theologische, ethische und humanwissenschaftliche Argumente vorgetragen. Es gibt gute Gründe für eine Revision der katholischen Lehre über Homosexualität.
