Francis of Assisi is counted among the most important personalities of history. The life and ideals of this humble, semiliterate medieval friar have had a shaping influence on the Christian church that has spilled over into Western culture at large. This biography by Lawrence Cunningham looks anew at Francis’s life and legacy, seeking to counter efforts to romanticize him yet without diminishing his deep piety or abiding significance.

English | ISBN: 166694940X | 2024 | 286 pages | PDF | 2 MB
In Pope Francis, Marriage, and Same-Sex Civil Unions: Foundations for the Organic Development of Catholic Sexual Doctrine, Todd A. Salzman and Michael G. Lawler argue for the organic development of Catholic sexual teaching to recognize the morality and sacramentality of opposite-sex and same-sex marriage. They do so on the basis of Pope Francis’ support of the legal protection of same-sex civil unions, "new pastoral methods," theological anthropological, and ethical methodological developments. To that end, the authors consider the historical development in the Catholic tradition of sexual and marital ethics; the impact of virtue ethics, emphasis on the authority and inviolability of an informed conscience, and a revised understanding of sexual complementarity on defining human dignity and the method for doing Catholic ethics; the sacramental nature of opposite-sex marriage as an upper-case Sacrament and same-sex marriage as a lower-case sacrament; the widespread and growing phenomenon of cohabitation before marriage where couples grow into the ideal of marriage; and sociological and experiential data that supports the overwhelming positive impact on children of opposite-sex and same-sex parents. All of these issues are considered in the light of the theological and pastoral changes that Pope Francis is introducing, with widespread support and minority opposition, into the Catholic tradition.

English | 2005 | pages: 100 | ISBN: 1599150557, 0690332602 | EPUB | 0,1 mb
Relates how the gay, courtly young soldier became a knight of Jesus Christ, vowed devotion to Lady Poverty and proved himself the "little brother" to all men and even to the birds and beasts. The son of a wealthy merchant, Saint Francis of Assisi kept company in his youth with a lawless band of young nobles who were bent on having a good time and thought nothing of the comfort of other people. When sickness puts an end to his soldierly ambitions, he turns his back on earthly possessions, much to the disgust of his father, and dons a dust-colored robe and ties a rope around his waist. Traveling barefooted and bareheaded through the hills of Italy he begins his ministry to the outcasts of society: the lepers, the poor, the hungry. He gathers other men to his side to share in his work, including three robbers who feel the transforming power of his love. His powers extend over the animal kingdom as well. He preaches to the birds and he tames the wolf who has been terrorizing the villagers of Gubbio. When he journeys eastward with the Crusaders, he ministers to Saracen and Christian alike. One year at Christmas he presents a living nativity scene to his neighbors, beginning a tradition that has lasted for centuries. One reviewer writes, "We wish this charming book might be the introduction of most children to this medieval saint." Suitable for children ages 8 and up.

Dear friend, If you want to earn 4-figures per month as a freelance copywriter, improve your skills, and expand your network, this is going to be the most important message you’ll read all day. Here’s why. My name is Francis Nayan. I’ve been an email marketer and business consultant for freelance copywriters for the last 7 years. Way back in 2017 when I first started my freelance business, all I wanted to do was get paid to write, improve my skills, and learn from experienced marketers and business owners so I could accelerate my progress. I learned quickly that going at it “alone” was not the best move. After all. When you’re a total newbie. Do you really know if your copy is good, no matter how much you practice? Are you actually using the stuff you’re learning? Can you learn how to run a business quickly without advice from others or failing repeatedly yourself? I couldn’t. I was lost AF. Even worse, when I actually DID get on a call with a lead. My lack of experience and confidence always got me rejected and ignored. And when I actually did close a client. They’d pay pennies and the partnership wouldn’t last long. You may be experiencing something similar? That happened A LOT until I found a sneaky way to boost my skills, get references, earn money consistently and gain confidence as a marketer: Partnering with Email Marketing Agencies!
