Time Management

"David Tracy is widely considered the most important Catholic theologian in North America, and his two-volume "Selected Essays"-his first books in over twenty years-will be a major event. Long a vital fixture in the University of Chicago's intellectual community, Professor Emeritus Tracy is known for his work on the pluralistic context of theology and his embrace of ambiguity as a necessary and enriching facet of religious life. His work is unusual for its disciplinary breadth, drawing on science, literature, the arts, Continental philosophy, psychoanalysis, and non-Western religious traditions. The first volume gathers Tracy's most important essays on broad theological questions-notably the problem of suffering and the category of the Infinite. The second is devoted to profiles of significant theologians, philosophers, and religious thinkers. The title of volume I, "Fragments: The Existential Situation of Our Time," refers to the potential of fragments (understood both as concepts and events) to shatter closed systems and open us to difference and Infinity. The range and erudition of Tracy's essays arc breathtaking. Issues addressed in volume I alone include "the invisible" as employed in mathematics, physics, philosophy, myth, religion, and theology; the relation of psychoanalysis to religion in the work or Freud (which Tracy reads as prophetic) and Lacan (construed as mystical); and the category of "sunyata" (emptiness) as a central contemplative category in Buddhism. Other essays elaborate a contemporary hermeneutics constituted by retrieval, critique, and suspicion, exploring how, hermeneutically understood, fragments of art and religion reach beyond their particular origins to achieve public and, at the limit, universal effect"--

Following in the very successful tradition of Critical Terms for Literary Studies and Critical Terms for Art History, this book attempts to provide a revitalized, self-aware vocabulary with which this bewildering religious diversity can be accurately described and responsibly discussed. Leading scholars working in a variety of traditions demonstrate through their incisive discussions that even our most basic terms for understanding religion are not neutral but carry specific historical and conceptual freight.

The Holocaust as Interruption

The peace, in a small urban Catholic parish, was shattered by the presence of an alcoholic pedophile Pastor. When the Author became aware of the harm being done he was pressed into a war with his Archdiocese in trying to remove the predator. The lack of courage and candor of the bureaucracy to remove a threat to the flock pressed this lifelong Catholic to reevaluate the process of leadership selection, from the towers of the Vatican to the basements of every parish, throughout the world. The Author concludes that Bishops, the world over, have become addicted to their own power and have often ignored the real Mission Statement; that of the Gospel of Jesus. With in-depth Scriptural research, the Author analyzes how Bishops are selected and how involvement of the faithful in the Apostolic Church was taken away and placed in perpetual control of an elite - now very much out of touch with their flocks and in some cases actually harming lambs. The Author suggests some solutions that can help the Church regain its accountability and credibility, avoiding the sacrifice of children to the Moloch of addiction and regain its focus on true ministry. A cradle Catholic, David Tracy attended an Archdiocesan elementary school and a Jesuit High School. After graduating, he was a Journalist for his local Archdiocesan newspaper. Eventually, he moved on to work for the Rocky Mountain News. Now retired, Tracy enjoys gardening, reading and has been a Lector and Cantor in his beloved parish for over 30 years. During the writing of this book Tracy became aware, through DNA testing, that his ancestry is Ashkenazi Jewish. This revelation has brought renewed interest in his Christianity by enhancing his study of Scripture, especially the Psalms. The Author wrote this book as a result of his efforts (eventually but not initially) to remove an alcoholic pedophile Pastor from his parish. The result required a reevaluation of how a Church, whose Mission Statement is the Gospel of Jesus, can perform just the opposite. Tracy believes the Bishops are so out of touch with their flocks that their selection process must be returned to the Apostolic norms where the faithful had a hand in their selection. While not perfect, a return to the origins could not be any worse than the current state of excess and debauchery. Tracy maintains that the Leadership of the Church has become addicted to their own power. The results are obvious with millions of Catholics leaving and very few young people seeking its graces. Enough is enough.

Since antiquity, religious beliefs and practices have inspired many of the world’s greatest works of art. These masterworks have, in turn, fueled the imaginations of fashion designers in the 20th and 21st centuries, yielding some of the most innovative creations in the history of fashion. Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination explores fashion’s complex and often controversial relationship with Catholicism by examining the role of spirituality and religion in contemporary culture. This two-volume publication connects significant religious art and artifacts to their sartorial expressions. One volume features images of rarely seen objects from the Vatican —ecclesiastical garments and accessories—while the other focuses on fashions by designers such as Cristobal Balenciaga, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Madame Grès, Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, Jeanne Lanvin, Claire McCardell, Thierry Mugler, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Gianni Versace. Essays by art historians and leading religious authorities provide perspective on how dress manifests—or subverts—Catholic values and ideology.
