Confession of a Catholic Worker: Our Moment of Christian Witness Chapp Larry
Everyone knows there is a "crisis" in the Catholic Church and in the world around us. Others say it is the decay of tradition, family, and objective truth. Some say it is capitalism gone wild.
Though all may not agree on the nature of the crisis, who doesn't agree that there is one, and who isn't worried?For Larry Chapp, crisis is always the norm of Christian existence. Still others say it is the rise of radical, reactionary conservatism. In a cold, dying world choked by greed, the Gospel calls for radical love and radical living according to the Sermon on the Mount.
Using the theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Peter Maurin, and Dorothy Day, Chapp argues that the real remedy to the disease of sin is not niceness, not political liberation, not fancy liturgical dress, not technical rigor, but a free decision to live totally and joyfully in Jesus Christ,
