An Easter Homily on the Pope
|
by Tom Cornell
...That's what a pope is, that's what his job is, to be a pastor, a shepherd, a father. Some may say, "We don't need a shepherd, we are men and women, not sheep. We are adults, and we don't need a father. This is 'a world come of age,'" they say. "We make our own way, we know where we are going." Sure! A steady march to a cliff, the very brink of destruction!

The Sign of Peace
|
The Sign of Peace journal brings a theological and scholarly look to matters of war and peace.
The latest issue focuses on the "Good War," World War II. We feature articles about those who resisted the Nazi regime nonviolently, including the village of Le Chambon, the White Rose Martyrs, and Franz Jägerstätter. We reprint seminal pieces from the era by Catholic moral theologian John C. Ford, SJ and philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe, both of whom questioned the Allies' true motivations in fighting the war (available only in the print version). Meanwhile, the editors give answers to "seven perennial questions" that people working for peace often face about the Second World War.
