And the Transformation of the Catholic Church in Philadelphia, 1789-1850
Displaced "Pan-Americans" and the Transformation of the Catholic Church in Philadelphia, 1789-1850 HE REVEREND JOHN HUGHES TOLD A GREAT STORY about the construction of the Roman Catholic church of St. John the Evangelist in Philadelphia. Hughes, the project's major fundraiser, St. John's first pastor, and later archbishop of New York, related that his announcement in 1830 of the plan to build a grand new cornerstone of Catholic life garnered only a lukewarm response from his congregation. Days went by before he received his first donation, from a humble ser- vant, who delivered to the priest a few precious cents from her meager wages. From that moment on, Hughes "never had a doubt of the success" of the building project.1 This lovely anecdote, redolent of New Testament teachings, burnishes one of the principal and lasting images of the Catholic Church in the United States, but it obscures crucial aspects of St. John's construction and the Catholic Church's broader institutional development. From the 1780s to the mid-nineteenth century, a small group of "Pan-Americans," men and women with extensive ties to Latin America and the Caribbean, played a determinative role in the church's transformation in Philadelphia and, as a result, the nation as a whole. Some, their lives thrown into disarray by internecine warfare and eco- nomic upheaval, came to Philadelphia for short periods of time, while others made a permanent home in the city. Here, they met residents with an existing network of economic, political, and cultural ties to the region. This group became embroiled in an intense confrontation over the future of American Catholicism. -
Chapter 18: Roosevelt and the New Deal, 1933-1939
Roosevelt and the New Deal 1933–1939 Why It Matters Unlike Herbert Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was willing to employ deficit spending and greater federal regulation to revive the depressed economy. In response to his requests, Congress passed a host of new programs. Millions of people received relief to alleviate their suffering, but the New Deal did not really end the Depression. It did, however, permanently expand the federal government’s role in providing basic security for citizens. The Impact Today Certain New Deal legislation still carries great importance in American social policy. • The Social Security Act still provides retirement benefits, aid to needy groups, and unemployment and disability insurance. • The National Labor Relations Act still protects the right of workers to unionize. • Safeguards were instituted to help prevent another devastating stock market crash. • The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation still protects bank deposits. The American Republic Since 1877 Video The Chapter 18 video, “Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal,” describes the personal and political challenges Franklin Roosevelt faced as president. 1928 1931 • Franklin Delano • The Empire State Building 1933 Roosevelt elected opens for business • Gold standard abandoned governor of New York • Federal Emergency Relief 1929 Act and Agricultural • Great Depression begins Adjustment Act passed ▲ ▲ Hoover F.

Archbishop John J. Hughes the Building of St
A MONUMENTAL LEGACY ARCHBISHOP JOHN J. HUGHES THE BUILDING OF ST. PATRICK’S CATHEDRAL Featuring a Selection of Paintings from the Brian P. Burns Collection of Irish Art THE CONSULATE GENERAL OF IRELAND, NEW YORK MARCH 7 – JULY 31, 2014 Page1.ap.indd 1 2/27/14 11:11 PM THE IRISH IMMIGRANTS who fled their famine-ravaged homeland during the 1840s made an immediate and indelible impact on their adopted country. Within a generation St. Patrick’s Cathedral rose above Fifth Avenue as a living monument to their ascendance in America. The Cathedral soon became a New York City landmark. Today, “America’s Parish Church” is visited by millions and known throughout the world. Born in Ireland and educated in America, Archbishop John J. Hughes emerged as the visionary and driving force behind the Cathedral, which he considered a necessary sanctuary for his people and their faith. Fo- cusing on his remarkable life, A Monumental Legacy tells the story of a diaspora for whom the Cathedral he envisioned became both a spiritual home and a symbol of their success as a community. This year, the sesquicentennial of Archbishop Hughes’s death, St. Pat- rick’s is undergoing an historic restoration. A Monumental Legacy tells the story of the evolution of Irish America in 19th century New York. The exhibition features extensive original research and a selection of paintings from the Brian P. Burns Collection, one of the most impor- tant private collections of Irish American art. Narrative panels and rare images from the Archdiocesan archives further enhance the exhibition which runs through July 31, 2014. -

Jews, Radical Catholic Traditionalists, and the Extreme Right
“Artisans … for Antichrist”: Jews, Radical Catholic Traditionalists, and the Extreme Right Mark Weitzman* The Israeli historian, Israel J. Yuval, recently wrote: The Christian-Jewish debate that started nineteen hundred years ago, in our day came to a conciliatory close. … In one fell swoop, the anti-Jewish position of Christianity became reprehensible and illegitimate. … Ours is thus the first generation of scholars that can and may discuss the Christian-Jewish debate from a certain remove … a post- polemical age.1 This appraisal helped spur Yuval to write his recent controversial book Two Nations in Your Womb: Perceptions of Jews and Christians in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Yuval based his optimistic assessment on the strength of the reforms in Catholicism that stemmed from the adoption by the Second Vatican Council in 1965 of the document known as Nostra Aetate. Nostra Aetate in Michael Phayer’s words, was the “revolution- ary” document that signified “the Catholic church’s reversal of its 2,000 year tradition of antisemitism.”2 Yet recent events in the relationship between Catholics and Jews could well cause one to wonder about the optimism inherent in Yuval’s pronouncement. For, while the established Catholic Church is still officially committed to the teachings of Nostra Aetate, the opponents of that document and of “modernity” in general have continued their fight and appear to have gained, if not a foothold, at least a hearing in the Vatican today. And, since in the view of these radical Catholic traditionalists “[i]nternational Judaism wants to radically defeat Christianity and to be its substitute” using tools like the Free- * Director of Government Affairs, Simon Wiesenthal Center. -
September 5, 2021 ENTRANCE HYMN: Your Hands, O Lord MOZART 1
INTRODUCTORY RITES TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY ENTRANCE ANTIPHON: Lord, you are just, and the judgments you make are right. IN ORDINARY TIME Show mercy when you judge me, when you judge me, your servant. September 5, 2021 ENTRANCE HYMN: Your Hands, O Lord MOZART 1. Your hands, O Lord, in days of old Were strong to heal and save; They triumphed o'er disease and death, O'er darkness and the grave. To you they went, the blind, the deaf, The palsied, and the lame, The leper set apart and shunned, The sick and those in shame. 2. And then your touch brought life and health, Gave hearing, speech, and sight; While strength renewed and health restored Acclaimed you Lord of light; And so, O Lord, be near to bless, With all your healing pow'r, In troubled home, in crowded street, In sorrow's saddest hour. 3. O be our mighty healer still, Great Lord of life and death; Restore and strengthen, soothe and bless, With your almighty breath; On hands that work and eyes that see, Your healing wisdom pour, That whole and sick, and weak and strong, May praise you evermore.

The Partisan Trajectory of the American Pro-Life Movement: How a Liberal Catholic Campaign Became a Conservative Evangelical Cause
Religions 2015, 6, 451–475; doi:10.3390/rel6020451 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article The Partisan Trajectory of the American Pro-Life Movement: How a Liberal Catholic Campaign Became a Conservative Evangelical Cause Daniel K. Williams Department of History, University of West Georgia, 1601 Maple St., Carrollton, GA 30118, USA; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-678-839-6034 Academic Editor: Darren Dochuk Received: 25 February 2015 / Accepted: 3 April 2015 / Published: 16 April 2015 Abstract: This article employs a historical analysis of the religious composition of the pro-life movement to explain why the partisan identity of the movement shifted from the left to the right between the late 1960s and the 1980s. Many of the Catholics who formed the first anti-abortion organizations in the late 1960s were liberal Democrats who viewed their campaign to save the unborn as a rights-based movement that was fully in keeping with the principles of New Deal and Great Society liberalism, but when evangelical Protestants joined the movement in the late 1970s, they reframed the pro-life cause as a politically conservative campaign linked not to the ideology of human rights but to the politics of moral order and “family values.” This article explains why the Catholic effort to build a pro-life coalition of liberal Democrats failed after Roe v. Wade, why evangelicals became interested in the antiabortion movement, and why the evangelicals succeeded in their effort to rebrand the pro-life campaign as a conservative cause.
