The Gospel of the Family, by Stephan Kampowski and Juan Perez-Soba (paperback)

The Gospel of the Family (Paperback)
By Stephan Kampowski and Juan Perez-Soba

Discover profound insights into the heart of family life with The Gospel of the Family. This compelling book delves into the Church’s teachings on marriage, civil re-marriage, and communion, offering a thoughtful response to Cardinal Kasper’s proposal. Written by renowned theologians Stephan Kampowski and Juan Perez-Soba, and featuring a foreword by Cardinal George Pell, this work is a must-read for anyone seeking clarity and guidance on these critical issues.

Walter Cardinal Kasper created an international media stir when he proposed allowing divorced and civilly remarried Catholics to receive the sacraments after a penitential period. But is this something the Church can even authorize? This book takes up the Kasper Proposal and sorts the helpful from the problematic. Never separating pastoral concerns from doctrinal considerations, the authors engage Cardinal Kasper's ideas with respect, but also at times with some profound disagreement.

How can we heal the wounds of a broken culture? How do we best support families, given the challenges of modern life? What is truly merciful? If the family is central to both society and the Church, how do we best express the truth of its importance? As the authors delve into the matter, they discuss how the early Church addressed issues of marriage and separation, and review the history of Church practice and discipline on marriage. They also explore how contemporary moral attitudes have shaped modern perceptions of marriage and divorce, and how the Church can offer pastoral guidance in this area.
