About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Cardinal Bernardin is widely regarded as having had more impact on the Catholic Church in the United States than any other bishop this century. By the time of his death in 1996 he had attracted the respect and affection of millions around the world. Selected Works of Joseph Cardinal Bernardin provides in two volumes the "essential" Bernardin for those interested in the faith, ecclesial vision, and pastoral insights of this great church leader. This second volume, Church and Society, is at the very heart of the Cardinal Bernardin's teaching ministry with selected talks on the six areas that are most often associated with his name: peacemaking, consistent ethic of life, religion and society, health care, Catholic-Jewish dialogue, and the Catholic Common Ground Initiative. This volume also contains addresses on such favorite topics of Bernardin's as ecclesial vision and mission, evangelization, Catholic education, religion and spirituality, pastoral ministry, and pastoral outreach."Reading these pages provides occasion to drink of the same spiritual springs that gave life and light to Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, indeed to partake of the same Christian spirituality as his." From the foreword by Roger Cardinal Mahony Archbishop of Los Angeles"This collection . . . provides a record of some of the best thinking about the Catholic Church in America in the post-Vatican II era. A great achievement." Robert Schreiter, C.PP.S. Founding Director The Cardinal Bernardin Center for Theology and Ministry"Joseph Cardinal Bernardin was a peerless teacher of the Catholic faith. These documents are an illustration of the range of his pastoral service to the mission of the truth. I was privileged to be his auxiliary bishop during that period when he composed most of these documents. I remember with respect how he always approached his office of teacher with the greatest care. These documents shed light on both his spiritual wisdom as well as his prudent insight into the life of the Church." Wilton D. Gregory Bishop of Belleville
