DesmitificacióN de Dogmas y Devociones CatóLicos en Cien añOs de Soledad
Author: Ernesto Garc a. Uranga
Publisher: Palibrio
ISBN: 1463331312
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Se podría pensar que vincular la obra maestra Cien años de soledad de Gabriel García Márquez con cuestiones teológicas sería una locura. Sin embargo, en la novela del colombiano -como lo señalara Joaquín Marco en su Estudio introductorio a Cien años de soledad- "Aparecen abundantes elementos religiosos propios de la liturgia católica" que sugieren que no se trata de una simple casualidad; al contrario, todo parece que dichas referencias se dan con toda intención. En el presente trabajo, Ernesto García Uranga toma su lupa y emprende una búsqueda de las referencias a dogmas y devociones católicos presentes en Cien años de soledad. Usando como aval a la Teología histórica para justificar sus argumentos, el investigador se da a la tarea de demostrar que el novelista sudamericano desmitifica, de una manera deliberada, por medio de la parodia, ciertos dogmas y devociones impuestos a los creyentes católicos por el Magisterio de la Iglesia. En este ensayo de ninguna manera se sugiere que dichos dogmas y devociones deben ser eliminados de la cultura religiosa católica; en su lugar, García Uranga deja en claro que, según lo entiende, la verdadera finalidad de la desmitificación que lleva a cabo Gabriel García Márquez en Cien años de soledad es la de conferir a los mencionados dogmas y devociones una interpretación más humana y menos divina a la luz de la justicia social, pues en su forma actual carecen de verdadero significado para el piadoso católico, y, lo que es aún más grave, no encuentran apoyo en las Sagradas Escrituras. "Se requiere", dice el autor de este estudio -citando al decano de la Teología moral católica, profesor Bernard Häring- "de un luto por parte de la Iglesia, de la cabeza y sus miembros, por tantas doctrinas falsas que son constantemente reafirmadas". De lo contrario, si el Vaticano continúa haciendo gala de su terquedad, anteponiendo el Derecho canónico a los Evangelios para la conducción de la Iglesia, se expone a que muchos católicos simplemente le den la espalda. De ahí que sea imprescindible, remata el estudioso, que la Iglesia entienda, como lo puntualiza Leonardo Boff, que "el espíritu de la modernidad no se orienta por la autoridad, sino por la participación". En estos momentos de cambio las ovejas rehúsan permanecer quietas en su redil, ya no se les puede obligar a que crean ciegamente. De ahí que se da por sentado que "Los seres humanos libres" -como indica Mary E. Hines- "tienen el derecho a razones claras por las cuales se les exige creer".

The Book of Prayer of Sor María of Santo Domingo
Author: Mary E. Giles
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780791402368
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
The history of women's spirituality and Christian mysticism demonstrates that women have been influential religious leaders even without benefit of priestly ordination and theological training. St. Catherine of Siena and St. Teresa of Avila are examples of women with visionary gifts of tremendous power. A less well-known Spanish visionary is Sor María of Santo Domingo, a Dominican tertiary of peasant lineage who became so famous for her raptures, austerities, and prophecies that the king, a cardinal, and nobles considered her a living saint. In 1948 research in the archives of the University of Zaragoza uncovered The Book of Prayer of Sor María of Santo Domingo (originally published around 1518) which had gone unnoticed for centuries. The text includes some of Sor María's ecstatic utterances and representations, and is a first-hand look at a women who in many ways is as representative of the early years of sixteenth century Spain as St. Teresa was of the later years. Giles' book provides the first English translation of this text as well as a study of Sor María and the issues that pushed her into the limelight.

The Evangelical Rhetoric of Ramon Llull
Author: Mark D. Johnston
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195358201
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Ramon Llull (1232-1316), born on Majorca, was one of the most remarkable lay intellectuals of the thirteenth century. He devoted much of his life to promoting missions among unbelievers, the reform of Western Christian society, and personal spiritual perfection. He wrote over 200 philosophical and theological works in Catalan, Latin, and Arabic. Many of these expound on his "Great Universal Art of Finding Truth," an idiosyncratic dialectical system that he thought capable of proving Catholic beliefs to non-believers. This study offers the first full-length analysis of his theories about rhetoric and preaching, which were central to his evangelizing activities. It explains how Llull attempted to synthesize commonplace advice about courtly speech and techniques of popular sermons into a single program for secular and sacred eloquence that would necessarily promote love of God and neighbor. Llull's work is a remarkable testimony to the diffusion of clerical culture among educated lay-people of his era, and to their enthusiasm for applying that knowledge in pursuit of learning and piety. This book should find a place on the shelf of every scholar of medieval history, religion, and rhetoric.
