Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Rechnungslegung in katholischen Bistümern
Book SynopsisDieses Buch vermittelt relevante Aspekte der Rechnungslegung in katholischen Bistümern. Deren wichtigste Einnahmequelle sind neben Staatsleistungen und Zuschüssen die Kirchensteuern. Zusätzlich zu ihrer Kernaufgabe, der Verkündigung des Evangeliums, leisten die Kirchen wichtige Beiträge für die Gemeinschaft. Doch der demographische Wandel und Kirchenaustritte wirken sich langfristig negativ auf die finanzielle Lage aus. Als wichtige Gegenmaßnahme gilt die Schaffung von mehr Transparenz: Wie die katholische Kirche ihr Rechnungswesen von der Kameralistik auf die Doppik umstellt, Jahresabschlüsse erstellt und veröffentlicht, zeigen die Beiträge in diesem Buch. Im Vordergrund stehen Ansatz und Bewertung, aber auch Umstellungsfragen und die Modernisierung der Governance-Strukturen. Die dargestellten Aspekte zur Rechnungslegung sind zumindest teilweise anwendbar für andere katholische Rechtsträger wie Bischöfliche Stühle, Domkapitel, Orden, Stiftungen und Kirchengemeinden sowie für Rechtsträger der evangelischen Kirche.Table of ContentsDie Rechnungslegung von Bistümern im Wandel.- Die Vergleichbarkeit der Jahresabschlüsse von Bistümern.- Die Gliederung des Jahresabschlusses von Bistümern.- Die Durchführung von Inventuren.- Bewertung von Grundstücken und Gebäuden.- Bewertung von Kirchen.- Bewertung von Kunstgegenständen.- Bewertung von Pensionsverpflichtungen.- Rechtliches und wirtschaftliches Eigentum.- Ausgewählte Aspekte der Bilanzierung von Kirchensteuern.- Die Bilanzierung erhaltener Zuwendungen.- Die Bilanzierung des Eigenkapitals bei Bistümern.- Die Bilanzierung der zweckgebundenen Rücklagen bei Bistümern.- Führungs- und Aufsichtsstrukturen bei der Aufstellung und Genehmigung von Jahresplanung und Jahresabschluss.

Trivent Publishing The Mirror of Cruelty: A Compendium of Atrocities
Book SynopsisThe sixteenth century, which heralded the end of the Middle Ages and the commencement of the Early Modern Era, was a time of tremendous religious upheaval and social ferment. The nebulous conglomeration of movements often referred to as the "Reformation" led to a wave of bloodshed and persecution which engulfed most of Europe for at least a hundred years. The present volume offers a translation of a particularly graphic literary portrayal of tortures and atrocities committed against Catholics during that time—the Speculum Haereticae Crudelitatis [The Mirror of Heretical Cruelty], by Arnold Havens (1540–1610). Havens was a Carthusian monk, an accomplished historian and scholar, and a prolific author. The Mirror of Cruelty is a remarkable and unique literary achievement, describing in gruesome and chilling detail an extensive catalogue of disturbing, inhuman and often bizarre acts of abuse. Most of these have not been available in any English-language sources until now, or have been presented only in abridged and bowdlerized forms. Havens drew the overall plan of his work from another book which enjoyed a wide, underground circulation at the time—the notorious Theatrum Crudelitatum [Theatre of Cruelties], by Richard Verstegan, a kind of nightmarish picture-book of atrocities committed against Catholics. A selection of illustrations from that book are included in this volume.Table of Contents Translator's Introduction Letter of Approval from the Prior of the Grande Chartreuse monastery, and Moderator and Minister-General of the Carthusian Order, Dom Bruno II de Affringues i.

Springer Verlag, Singapore The Catholic Church, The Bible, and
Book SynopsisThis edited volume starts from the perspectives of Beijing in how it sees that religion should serve the interests of the state. From China’s viewpoint, religion should act as a stabilizing force of society, or else the Christian Churches will lose their reason for existence. This might be incomprehensible to Western Christians, who believe in the freedom of religion and their right to embrace their faith. This collection of articles represents the concerted efforts of Chinese, Italians, and an American—who live in China, Europe, and the United States and belong to different disciplines, such as History, Religious Studies, and Language Studies—to promote a better understanding of the Catholic Church in the world and in China.Table of ContentsPART I: THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.- The Catholic Church in China in the 1980s: Identity, Loyalty, and Obedience.- The Canossian Sisters in Hong Kong and Beyond: Protection, Education, and Emancipation of Women.- PART II: THE BIBLE.- Reading and Praying with Sigao Shengjing (Studium Biblicum Version).- The Use and Reception of Sigao Shengjing (Studium Biblicum Version) by Catholic Communities in China.- PART III: EVANGELIZATION.- Catholic Fishermen in the Qingpu District of Shanghai.- Between Survival and Subordination: Jiangnan Catholics in the 1950s.- A Letter From an ex-Altar Boy to Late Fathers.
