Freedom And Responsibility: Reflections On Chapter Ii Of Veritatis Splendor, David A. Yocis

Sacred Heart University Review

In this chapter of the encyclical the Pope responds to the basic question of morality: "How can obedience to universal and unchanging moral norms respect the uniqueness and individuality of the person and not represent a threat to his freedom and dignity?"

The Catholic vision of our relationship to God says that human freedom and growth is not in opposition to obedience to God and to the moral law, but that the two in fact presuppose one another. This is the heart of the vision of morality which Pope John Paul is asking the Church to live in our present …

The Evangelical Turn Of John Paul Ii And Veritatis Splendor, Christopher J. Walsh

Sacred Heart University Review

In this essay Christopher Walsh points to a Christological and evangelical emphasis in the writings of John Paul II.

Thirty years after Vatican II, on the verge of the third millennium, Pope John Paul II is saying in his latest encyclical that all people, by the grace and revelation of God consummated in Jesus Christ — even if they do not explicitly know Christ or God himself — all people can come to "know the truth and the truth will set them free."

Contemporary Catholic Questions, Monika Hellwig

Sacred Heart University Review

Monika Hellwig poses questions. What is specifically Catholic? What makes Catholic individuals, institutions, traditions, practices, characteristically Catholic? How do those characteristics relate to the Catholic Church as Church, as institution and as community, and as a community of witness to others? How can we pass that on when we no longer have the inclusive shaping of the lives of young people, of the family, or the community? How do we pass it on when it is no longer formulated in quite such a black and white, clear-cut way? What is the role of a Catholic university in that?
