Johannes Dörmann

Covers John Paul II's first encyclical, Redemptor Hominis, the cornerstone of his "Theology of Assisi." Includes the Pope's vision of universal peace, Public manifestations of the new religion, the "trinitarian trilogy", a new man-centered theology and the "double revelation" of universal salvation and salvation history.

Unravels the Pope's encyclical on the Holy Ghost, Dominum et Vivificantem in a thorough paragraph by paragraph analysis comparing the novelties in it to the perennial teachings of the Church. Begins with a fabulous 38-page Key to the Theology of Pope John Paul II.

Shows how John Paul II's encyclical Dives in Misericordia is the second part of his universal salvation thesis and how it explains the Pope's ecumenical endeavors. Fr. Dormann dissects the encyclical and contrasts it with traditional Catholic doctrine.
