The Royal Priesthood and the Renewal of the Church, International Conference at St Mary’s University

"Christian Know Your Dignity" (Pope St Leo the Great). The Royal Priesthood is a rich scriptural theme which draws together God's work of creating and saving humanity in Christ. It implies our divine filiation, the life of grace, the metaphysics of participation, the indwelling Trinity, the Church and the Sacraments, the theology of nature and grace, and many other central Catholic doctrines. It has great potential to aid the renewal already well underway in contemporary Catholic theology, and, more concretely, to direct this renewal towards an awakening and revival of the Church in our times.
