Description

Few topics are as essential, or as controversial, as the right kind role and exercise of authority within the Roman Catholic Church. Inspired by Pope Francis’s bold rereading and decided implementation of the teaching of Vatican II, Richard Gaillardetz has totally revised and expanded his book By What Authority? It offers a helpful introduction to the character and sorts of church authority and their relationship to authentic Christian belief and discipleship. Gaillardetz offers theologically clear and pastorally insightful considerations of:

  • the character of divine revelation, the authority of Scripture and tradition
  • the role of the pope and bishops in preserving the Christian faith
  • the levels of church teaching authority, the central faith witness of all of the baptized
  • the possibility of disagreements with church teaching, and the right kind relationship between theologians, the magisterium, and the entire folks of God
  • the authority of the believing community and the controversial questions that arise when there are conflicting interpretations of church teaching.
