John Courtney Murray and Martin Luther on the Relationship Between Church and State By FAr= ELIZABETH BURGESS* Introduction IT IS TEN YEARS since the death of the well-known American Jesuit, John Courtney Murray. Murray's scholarly life exem- plified the enormous changes which have taken place in the Roman Catholic Church during the last fifty years. He began his writing in the early 1940's and quickly became involved in the issue of the relationship between Roman Catholicism and modem democ- racy. This involvement led him to the broader question of formu- lating a theory of the relationship between church and state which could be applied to different political situations. Murray's work in the area of church and state elicited strong opposition, and by the early 1950's he had been advised to let the subject rest; at least he should not write anything on the church-state question without clear- ing his ideas with his superiors first.

  • A Review of Avery Dulles Models of Revelation
    A Book Review of Avery Dulles, S. J.’s Models of Revelation Reviewed by David J Keys, PhD About the Fr. Dulles: Avery Dulles, S. J. is one of the most noted American Catholic Theologians of the past century. Avery Dulles converted to Catholicism from Presbyterianism in 1940. Subsequently, he entered the seminary and was ordained into the priesthood in 1956. He received a second doctorate, this one in theology at the Gregorian University in Rome in 1960. At the time of writing this book (1985), Fr. Dulles was a Professor of Systematic Theology at Catholic University (1974-1988). He is currently the Laurence J. McGinley Professor of Religion and Society at Fordham University. Fr. Dulles is the author of over 700 articles and 22 books. Fr. Dulles also is a past president of the Catholic Theological Society of America and has served on numerous Commissions, Committees, and Councils throughout his career. In 2001, Fr. Dulles was named a Cardinal of the Catholic Church by Pope John Paul II. Introduction In 1960, Fr. Dulles began teaching courses in revelation. His teaching centered on “the possibility of revelation and its factual occurrence”.1 In essence, he taught an Apologetics course. As time went on, he became much more interested in two primary questions; “What revelation is and how is it communicated?”.2 In a previous book, Models of the Church, Fr. Dulles had seen the relative advantage of modelling the theological description of “Church”. The purpose of this book is to similarly model the theological descriptions of revelation in order to gain insight through methodology.

  • Models of the Church and Parish Model
    Models of the Church and Parish Model by Msgr. John S. Mbinda The Models of the Church by Avery Cardinal Dulles was first published in 1976, revised in 1987 and again in 2002. This book is a considered a classic on ecclesiology (study of church) that describes the traditional local community Christian church mission. In his book, Cardinal Dulles puts forth six dimensions of active parish life. Catholic (Institution) Community (Mystical Communion) Sacrament Engage/Evangelize (Herald) Servant Disciples of Jesus (Community of Disciples/Stewards) Cardinal Avery Dulles’ understanding of the Church in terms of various models contributes a lot to our understanding of the parish. Most parishes include the one or more of the models in their mission statement in one form or another. Our Mission Statement here at St. John Apostle & Evangelist, Mililani, attempts to include all six models. The statement is outlined below to indicate how the various models are included. A close look shows that we have expanded our vision and mission statements into a value statements that underlines the Church as communion. Our Vision Statement “We strive to become a Spirit-led stewardship parish in Central Oahu”. Stewardship as a way of life is what fuels our parish community. Our Mission Statement “We are a Catholic Christian community, called to develop a deeper relationship with Christ. Such a relationship is fostered through active participation in: Word, Sacrament, Renewal Programs, Ministry / Service and other Spirit-led activities. We dedicate our time,

  • St. Robert Bellarmine on the Indirect Power
    ST. ROBERT BELLARMINE ON THE INDIRECT POWER JOHN COURTNEY MURRAY, SJ. Woodstock College N AN age that is being torn apgxt by a profound spiritual crisis in the I temporal order, it is inevitable that the problem of the relations between the spiritual and temporal should assume ranking importance. No one stands aside from this problem; everyone must adopt some solu­ tion for it. Secular theorists of the "new man" are urging the neces­ sary exclusion of the spiritual, in the traditional sense, from any in­ fluence on temporal affairs, and are enforcing on man his destiny to be the unaided creator of the conditions of his own free life. Christian theorists solve the problem in terms of their own concept of Christianity and the degree and kind of engagement of religion and the church in the affairs of this world that it permits or prescribes; the orthodox Lutheran or Barthian will differ considerably from the contemporary Protestant liberal or freechurchman. In Catholic terms, of course, the cardinal question is that of the spiritual authority of the Church over the temporal—its bases, extension, fields and manner of exercise, techniques of effectiveness, etc. This is an ancient question, with a complicated history; in the details of its answer there has never been, nor is there yet, complete uniformity of view. Writing in the sixteenth century, St. Robert Bellarmine said: "The fact that there is in the Pope a power in regard of temporal affairs is not a matter of opinion but of certainty among Catholics; although there is no lack of disputes over what kind and manner of power it is ..

  • A Response to James D. Davidson
    ● CTSA PROCEEDINGS 63 (2008): 18-27 ● A RESPONSE TO JAMES D. DAVIDSON James Davidson asserts that the generational fires in which American Catho- lics are formed in our adolescent years give rise to differences among us about what constitutes a good Catholic, what commitment to the Church requires, and the locus of Church authority. These generational differences surpass those stem- ming from age, race, and gender. I identify three implications of his research for us as individual theologians coming to terms with our respective generational identities, as a collective theological society charged by Davidson with cultivat- ing generational pluralism, and as teachers of theology who stoke the fires of faith for the Millennial generation. Before exploring these, allow me to make a disclaimer. I have felt paralyzed at various points in preparing this response by a wariness of implying that my generational perspective on what it takes to be a good Catholic or what constitutes authentic theological praxis is somehow nor- mative for all in my Post-Vatican generation. But conversations with many of you in my generation—often in intentionally intergenerational contexts provided, for example, by the Mount Saint Agnes Theological Center for Women in Bal- timore, the New Voices Seminar for women in theology at the Center for Spiri- tuality at St. Mary’s College in Notre Dame, or the New Wine New Wineskins initiative in moral theology at the University of Notre Dame—assured me that this sense of responsibility and wariness are in and of themselves a reflection of my generational location and self-understanding as a theologian.

  • The Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage
    The Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage April 2016 From the Desk of Fr. Mark Bosco, S.J . Easter Greetings! Let us not mock God with metaphor, Analogy, sidestepping, transcendence; Making of the event a parable, a sign pointed in the Faded credulity of earlier ages: Let us walk through the door. This evocative ending to John Updike's poem "Seven Stanzas at Easter" reminds us that Easter is neither nostalgic sentimentality -- Easter bunnies and chocolate -- nor a quaint symbol about springtime. Rather, Easter brings us to that critical juncture each year when we walk through the door with energy and verve -- with hope, joy, and courage -- into a broken world that is loved and saved by God. Whether we walk through the door into churches, classrooms, laboratories, or offices, Easter proclaims that our lives matter, that all lives matter, and that our thoughts and actions can make a difference in the world. The intellectual and artistic heritage of Catholicism is one such door -- one that helps us to deepen our commitments to faith, reason, and justice. This April, the Hank Center invites you to walk through the door with us. On April 8, we are excited to have the Rev. Carlos Maria Galli with us from Argentina. One of Pope Francis' favorite theologians, Fr. Galli has been instrumental in shaping the Pope's vision of the Church. On April 14, join us for the international conference, The Challenge of God: Continental Philosophy and the Catholic Intellectual Heritage. On April 21, we are pleased to co-sponsor the symposium, "The Business of Social Justice" with Loyola's Quinlan School of Business.

THE CURRENT SITUATION: THE PREVALENCE OF "MERE BELIEF" In addressing matters of church and state, Christian theologians in America by and large have assumed that it is their task to justify the First Amendment. We do not intend to take up that task in this Essay; indeed, we intend to do quite the opposite. We intend to show that the theoretical presuppositions and concrete practices under- writing the so-called separation of church and state have produced a set of political arrangements (i.e., the United States of America) that present a deep and intractable challenge to that community whose allegiance is first and foremost to the Kingship of Christ (i.e., "the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church").

  • Apologetics Introduction: When Religion Makes the News
    How to speak of God? Towards a ‘Postsecular’ Apologetics 2017 Roy Niblett Lecture, Sarum College Elaine Graham, University of Chester Introduction: When Religion makes the news I would like to begin with a number of recent instances where religion has made the news headlines. 1. The Rise of the Nones, or: Faith in Crisis According to the latest British Social Attitudes survey, 53% of all adults regard themselves as having no religious affiliation – an increase from 48% in 2015. Almost three-quarters of 18-24 year olds say they have no religion. 3% of adults describe themselves as Anglican and 5% Roman Catholic (NatCen, 2017). 2. Faith in (a) Crisis If that headline might read, ‘Faith in Crisis’, then my next headline might be ‘Faith in a Crisis’. Following the terrible fire at Grenfell Tower in Kensington in London, criticism of the local council and statutory authorities was rife. As the local community rallied to organise relief and as people gathered to mourn the dead, one area of local civil society was prominent by its actions: the faith communities. Stories circulated that it was local Muslims returning from a local mosque who were amongst the first on the scene – by virtue of their observing Ramadan, they had been awake and up and about on the streets and spotted the fire. Muslim groups continued to contribute practical aid in the days following; and the local Anglican church, St Clement and St James, also provided a place of refuge for relief workers, charity volunteers 1 and traumatised residents. Subsequently, the following Sunday, the church building became a focus of a community act of worship attended by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.

Portier, Ph.D. In its analysis of mystical body of Christ theology in the twentieth century, this dissertation identifies three major streams of mystical body theology operative in the early part of the century: the Roman, the German-Romantic, and the French-Social- Liturgical. Delineating these three streams of mystical body theology sheds light on the diversity of scholarly positions concerning the heritage of mystical body theology, on its mid twentieth-century recession, as well as on Pope Pius XII’s 1943 encyclical, Mystici Corporis Christi, which enshrined “mystical body of Christ” in Catholic magisterial teaching. Further, it links the work of Virgil Michel and Louis-Marie Chauvet, two scholars remote from each other on several fronts, in the long, winding French stream.

  • A Citizen of Two Cities Remarks of Robert John Araujo, SJ
    ARAUJO.CORRECTED.PAGE_VI.DOC 12/3/2010 11:46:01 AM LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO SCHOOL OF LAW INAUGURAL LECTURE OF THE JOHN COURTNEY MURRAY CHAIR APRIL 27, 2010 John Courtney Murray, S.J.: A Citizen of Two Cities Remarks of Robert John Araujo, S.J.* Charles Dickens began his Tale of Two Cities with the memorable line, “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.”1 Dickens’ great saga takes us back and forth between two very different worlds, one in England and the other in France, during the bloody turmoil of the French Revolution. The juxtaposition of such diverse places existing in parallel fashion suggests something about the times in which Fr. John Courtney Murray lived—in a world of depression, of two global wars, and of a new kind of tension called the Cold War. And how did he address the challenging era in which he lived? It may have been Murray’s training as a theologian that made him understand the best and worst of his times; it may have been the fact that he was a lawyer’s son who understood the importance of the rule of law in governing a society * John Courtney Murray, S.J.
