Titoli in Cattolicesimo

Il termine "Vaticano" evoca immediatamente l'immagine dell'immensa piazza antistante la basilica di San Pietro e il monumentale colonnato che l'abbraccia. Tra i fedeli cattolici evoca anche la finestra da cui il papa benedice la folla festante. Ma il Vaticano è molto di più. Stato di diritto tra i più piccoli al mondo, minuscola città dentro la vasta città di Roma, di cui ha condiviso le vicissitudini e di cui costituisce "l'altra faccia", ha una lunghissima storia, ricca di chiaroscuri e di personaggi più o meno limpidi.

E come sono cambiate, dal dopoguerra a oggi, la Chiesa e la società italiane?

Christianity arose within the social and spiritual dislocation of the Roman Empire. Jesus, perceived by authorities as a threat to public stability, was executed in about 30 CE; his crucifixion and belief in his resurrection became a defining symbol for world-wide Christian religion.

The enduring influence of the Catholic Church has many sources, but in the first half of the 19th century, the foundations upon which the church had rested were shaken. For many people, liberalism in the guise of liberty, equality, and fraternity was the quintessence of the evils that shook those foundations. At the Vatican Council of 1869-1870, the church made an effort to set things right by defining the doctrine of papal infallibility. Author John W. O'Malley draws us into the bitter controversies over papal infallibility that at one point seemed destined to rend the church in two.
