    Catholic Social Teaching: Arriving At a 'Third Way'?
    (Tangaza University College, 2006) G Martel, Damian
    The aim of this Long Essay is to outline the two dominant, and opposed, ideologies of the late nineteenth and twentieth Centuries and to discuss the view of Catholic social teaching towards them. With the collapse of Communism, across Eastern Europe, in 1989, it seemed Capitalism had won the ideological struggle, but in its unchecked form it has been criticised, especially by Pope John Paul II, for its failure to respect human dignity and social justice. In the Western and Central Europe, Governments have spoken of a 'Third Way', where Capitalism can flourish but where also people are protected by the State. The Government should ensure fair wages and the provision of Social Services, should not be totally left to the Markel. I wish to investigate, whether Catholic social teaching has arrived at an agenda, for this 'Third Way'. A number of documents will be discussed, which 1 feel give us a sense of the historical development of social teaching from the Church, and give emphasise to the issues of private property and workers rights, which are central to the ideological debate. On the basis of my research, I wish to come to a conclusion to the question, of whether we have arrived at a 'Third Way' between Communism and Capitalism

    The Official Teaching of the Catholic Church on the Issue of Women’s Ordination to the Ministerial Priesthood
    (Tangaza University College, 2000-02) Bartodziej, Slawomir
    First, we will introduce the content of the first document followed by the contemporary criticism of only some objects of uncertainty. Second, we will look very briefly at the second document, followed by the exposition of the controversy which has been caused by its claim to infallibility in Responsum ad Dubium. Thirdly, we will present the content of the document, Ad Tuendam Eidem, where the infallible teaching has been clearly defined and Pope John Paul II gave a final word with regard to the non ordination of women to the ministerial priesthood. Before we conclude the whole research we will look at some topics, namely: - "Theology of the Priesthood of Christ" "The Twelve Apostles" "The Role of Women in the Church" which are, in my opinion, very much related to the problem of women's ordination. This last chapter before the conclusion is meant to help us, in our personal reflection, to make a proper and mature discernment of the whole issue, in the light of the official teaching of the Church on one side and the voices of critics on the other, as Christian faithful in the Catholic Church. As a matterof fact this research does not contain all existing arguments for and against women's ministerial ordination, due to its large and complex extent. It is impossible to deal with all the theological problems raised by the question of the possibility or non possibility of the ordination of women in this paper. This restriction must be noted from the very outset. The core of this essay is the presentation of the developing understanding of the issue of women's ordination to the ministerial priesthood by the Magisteriurn of the Catholic Church which has been presented in the official documents.
