Description
When the Magisterium Intervenes gathers contributions from leading Catholic scholars on the exercise of the church’s official teaching authority in today’s postmodern context. Noted experts in their fields cover many topics, including the investigation of theologians that has occurred in recent years, canonical perspectives on such investigations, the role that women religious have played in these issues, the place of the media when problems arise, and possible future ways forward. The book concludes with “The Elizabeth Johnson Dossier,” a set of documents essential to understanding the case of Elizabeth Johnson, CSJ, whose work was recently the subject of criticism by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Contributors include James Coriden, Richard Gaillardetz, Anthony Godzieba, Bradford Hinze, Colleen Mallon, Gerard Mannion, Vincent Miller, and Ormond Rush.
