Von Hügel Institute

for Critical Catholic Inquiry
 

The VHI is delighted to congratulate Senior Research Associate Gill Goulding, CJ, Professor of Systematic Theology at Regis St. Michael's Faculty of Theology, University of Toronto, and author of Pope Francis and Mercy: A Dynamic Theological Hermeneutic, for winning a Catholic Media Association Book Award. 

In Pope Francis and Mercy (University of Notre Dame Press, 2023) Gill Goulding, CJ, examines for the first time the critical and determinative role of mercy in Francis’s papacy using his homilies, allocutions, encyclicals, and addresses as primary sources. She explores the theme of mercy in Francis’ thought, its Ignatian foundations and its Christological, Trinitarian, and ecclesiological significance for the Church today, and in particular for the Curia in Rome. The book launch took place in November 2023 at British Embassy to the Holy See in Rome.
