THE MINISTRY OF THE POPE: Crisis and Renewal

A Presentation by Thomas O’Meara, O.P. at Loyola University Chicago’s Institute of Pastoral Studies, October 21, 2010.

Renowned theologian and Rahner scholar, Thomas O’Meara, takes a prophetic look at the ministry of the Bishop of Rome and at how that ministry has changed over time, particularly in recent centuries.

A sketch of underlying theological and political causes of the turmoil surrounding the papacy today will be followed by possible directions which renewal might take.
