Such a rejection of an essential human nature ... bears significant implications for theological anthropology, and for the Christian doctrine of the Imago Dei. It challenges notions of an eternal, pre-existent human nature, and suggests that theological teachings concerning a God-given order of creation or Natural Law which pre-ordains separate functions for women and men may be untenable’ (pp. 217 & 223). This then, is a book that, depending on theological background and outlook, will be variously celebrated or rejected out of hand. However, the question at its heart is a pertinent one. ’[It] is effectively a question about the authority of secular perspectives; but also about the nature of Christian orthodoxy,

As part of a strategy he suggests greater emphasis on pedagogy concerning the sacrament, a rehabilitation of the notion of &dquo;green martyrdom&dquo; i.e. a life of witness to conversion as process, and a multi-faceted approach to the confessor’s ministry where the facilitation of dialogue and worship are central. The perennial value of Cassian’s insight on &dquo;healing by contraries&dquo;, the holistic approach to the interrelationship of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, and the greater integration of penitential practices into the liturgical year, with closer attention to places of prayer and pilgrimage, are also stressed.

He conceded that it &dquo;constitutes a difficulty for most other Christians, whose memory is marked by painful recollections&dquo;. He added: &dquo;To the extent that we are responsible for these, I join my Predecessor Paul VI in asking for forgiveness&dquo; (n. 88). He outlined the scriptural and patristic basis of the petrine ministry and acknowledged his personal responsibility to heed &dquo;the request made of me to find a way of exercising the primacy which, while in no way renouncing what is essential to its mission, is nevertheless open to a new situation&dquo; (n. 95). Accordingly he issued the following invitation:

The law on celibacy has been described as &dquo;merely a Church law&dquo; similar to the law on fasting and abstinence. Over the last twenty years much scholarly writing has been done on the subject and it is my intention to present the main findings of that research so that contemporary discussion can be based on accurate historical information. It does not intend to close discussion on celibacy, but rather to contribute to a more informed debate.

En fait, cela n'a pas toujours ete le cas et, en 1995, par la voix de Jean-Paul II, l'Eglise assuma sa part de responsabilites et invita toutes les Eglises-soeurs a un renouveau dans l'oecumenisme.

The task of finding a new theological basis for canon law was taken up by many theologians and canonists. Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II gave a valuable impetus to this debate. However the task of ’putting canon law in its place’ still continues ; it will not have the dominating influence it had in the period before the Council. Gone are the days when, in the words of Paul Edwards, ’scripture was a Cinderella, shouldered aside by some larger, ugly, but actually much younger sisters, such as Moral Theology, Apologetics, and Canon Law’ (People of the Book, p. 8). However, finding the right relationship between theology (in the wide sense) and canon law is not a simple task. Defining that relationship is one of the principal preoccupations of this book, and W. pursues this task by means of a thematic analysis of two key-figures in the field of canon law in this century. I approached this work with less than an open mind. I did my postgraduate studies in Canon Law at the Gregorian University and heard the name of ’Dominus Morsdorf being cited, usually to illustrate why he was wrong! Since the work of Morsdorf is mostly in German, it has not been accessible to canonists in the
