Saint Colman’s Society for Catholic Liturgy hosted in July 2014 the VII FOTA International Liturgy Conference in Cork, Ireland. The main theme was “In Persona Christi Agens: Aspects of the Ordained Ministry” where aspects of the ordained priestly ministry and sacred liturgy where addressed. A new book has just been release as a result of the conference.
The book “Agere in persona Christi – Aspects of the Ministerial Priesthood” was edited by Mariusz Biliniewicz, a theologian, international spokesman and former lecturer at Mater Dei Institute in Dublin, Ireland. It is a compilation of many essays written by acclaimed scholars where the question of priesthood is discussed from biblical, patristic, systematic, historical and canonical points of view.
One of the book’s collaborators is Dr. Joao Paulo Dantas (Brazil), an ordained priest, writer, professor and member of Shalom Catholic Community since 1996. Fr. Dantas is doctor in Dogmatic Theology by the Faculty of Theology in Lugano, Switzerland. His contribution is a clarification on the systematic theology of the ordained ministry.
