Benedict Labre House: 1952-1 966 The History of an Unofficial Lay Apostalate Patricia A. E. Nolan In 1952 Benedict Labre House opened as a home of hospïtality for the poor and as a center for the lay aystofate. Situateci at 41 8 La GauchetiGre Street in St. Patrick's parish. Benedid Labre House served Montreal's marginalized residents. In 1954, a parallel mission. Patricia House, was established in Griffintown to assist marginalized wornen and their children. In 1955. Benedict Labre House moved into Grlntown, a small comrnunity in St. Ann's Ward, which was once the historical home of the city's lrish Catholic comrnunity. Benedict Labre Houe evolved out of a confluence of the theology and praxis of several American and Canadian lay movements. One of many lay organizations operating within Quebec dunng this period, this Catholic lay organization was not mandatecl by the church hierarchy. Despite its unofficial status. Benedict Labre House became known as a vital Cathdic lay organization. Through an informal approach to formation. this lay apostolate provided theological, spiritual and practical education to Montreal English lay Cathalics from 1952-1966. Key to Benedict Labre House in this period was the founding group, including Tony Walsh. and other lay people frorn Montreal's English Catholic community. This thesis seeks to demythologize Tony Walsh and Benedict Labre House through a critical analysis of the sources. Using rnany primary documents, sudi as newspapers, correspondeme and inte~ews,this historical accoun? seeks to examine the evolution of Benedict Labre House's lay theology. its theory and praxis during its founding. 1952-1955, its develapment,1955-1959, and its peak and decline in the Vatican II yean, 1960-1966. To my late parents. John Malcolm and Patricia Mary Nolan. the first lay Catholics in my life ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To Benedict Labre House, to those of its pstand its present, a special thank you.

To my family and friends who supported me through this journey, I am greatly indebted. To Betty and Diane Sharon Williams, and to Fred and Emiîy Jones, your support and patience dunng the critical times made this project happen. A special thanks to Dorothy Williams, a Montreal historian, who shared with me her understanding of Montreal history and its demographics with a particular focus on St-Am's ward. She also provided advice about critical sources parüailar to southwest Montreal. I would also like b thank Linda Cormier, a teacher, always ready with her thoughtful insights about the history of Quebec and the francophone Catholic milieu. She directed me to sources on aie hi- of the Church and Quebec. To Lynn Gold, whose sharp wit and red pencil made this a better thesis. Finally, I am grateful for my thesis advisor, Doctor Parnela Bright. WithOut her inspiration and encouragement, I would not have had the courage to start nor to sustain mis project. Doctor Bright has shared her extensive knowledge of Church history and strongly supported the wriang of this community-based history. Her greatest ability was to draw out Me histotical narrative, and she encouraged me to develop an holistic understanding of the historical and theological context of Benedict Labre House. vii CONTENTS CONTENTS viii ABBREVIATIONS X LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS xi CHAPTER 1 -INTRODUCTION 1 Mythology Methodology Sources CHAPTER 2 -PATH OF THE QUESTION CHAPTER 3 -THEOLOGICAL CONTEXT Theofogy of the Lay Apostolate American Unofficial Lay Movernents The Theological Position of Benedict Labre House Impact d Vatican II CHAPTER 4 -HISTORICAL CONTEXT l ntroduction Lay Movements and the Church CHAPTER 5 -EARLY DEVELOPMENT (1898 -1 952) Tony Walsh-Birth to Performance Early Years in Monlreal(1949 -1951) Pre-Founding Year (1 951-1 952) CHAPTER 6 -FOUNDING YEARS (1 952-1 955) EstaMishing a Lay Apostolate Early Forms of Public Relations Response of the Montreal Laity Formation CHAPTER 7 -DEVELOPING YEARS (1 9561959) Predominance of the Laity Heightened Profile viii CHAPTER 8 -THE VATICAN II YEARS (1 960-1966) lntroduction Pre-Vatican 11 (1 960-1 962) Mid-Vatican 11 (1962-1 965) Post-Vatican 11 (1 965-1 970) CHAPTER 9 -CONCLUSION SOURCES CONSULTE0 APPENDICES GLOSSARY BLH Benedict Labre House CBC Canadian Broadcasting Corporation DO-CW Dorothy Day-Catholic Worker J.E.C.

Quebec. was established as a Catholic house of hospitality for the poor, and as a center for the lay apostolate in 1952. This is a history of Benedict Labre House's founding. its development, its objectives. its network and impact. and its theory and praxis. Now situated at 308 Young Street. Benedict Labre House continues to thrive, sewkg and canng for the poor and rnarginalized of Montreal daily. Benedict Labre House. like the world around it, has evolved over its fifty years of service to Montreal's Cathdic corn munity. However, mis thesis will critically examine the evolution of Benedict Labre House's lay theology, its theory and praxis, only during its first fiieen years, from 1952 to 1966. At this writing. Montreal's English Catholic community is bereft of a comprehensive history. parücularly for the 20th centwy, and even les research has been done on Benedict Labre House itsel. Despite these shortcomings, this research will be the first attempt to combine chronological analysis with an analysis of the theology of the lay apostolate in the early lay initiatives of Benedict Labre House. To assist the post-Vatican II reader, there is a small glossary of terms relateci to the lay apostolate. Though this thesis is not intended to be exhaustive, l hope to stimulate further research into the stuûy of Montreal's English Catholic institutions, and to add to our understanding of anglophone lay movements in Quebec. Mythology peflnitlon and Use History and myth are intertwined. In fact, history often begins in rnyth.' What is mm? Webster defines myth as 'a popular belief or tradition that has grown up around something or someone; especially one embodying the ideals and institutions of a society or a segment of a society." This definition is closely linked to the purpose of myth. which is a Vaditional story, of ostensibly historical events that serves to unfold part of the world view of a people or explain... a belief ."* At first glance, the dictionary definition dearly explains myth. However, when writing history, there are other dynamic processes at play. The historian must be aware of false belief and his own active agency. Arthur Lower believed that "the myth establishes its own version d history, partly by the colouring of fact. parg by deliberate suppression of umnrelcome facts." This is the misuse of half-truths to project a false image. Though historians do mate myths. any 'perversion of the evidence" simply to create a myth 'is an unpardonable sin for the historian" and clearly must be avoided." Despite his injunction, Lower rhapsodires about the exïgency and interconnectedneçs of myth and history.

  • CHAPTER THIRTY the AFFLUENT SOCIETY Objectives a Thorough Study of Chapter 30 Should Enable the Student to Understand: 1
    CHAPTER THIRTY THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY Objectives A thorough study of Chapter 30 should enable the student to understand: 1. The strengths and weaknesses of the economy in the 1950s and early 1960s. 2. The changes in the American lifestyle in the 1 950s. 3. The significance of the Supreme Court’s desegregation decision and the early civil rights movement. 4. The characteristics of Dwight Eisenhower’s middle-of-the-road domestic policy. 5. The new elements of American foreign policy introduced by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. 6. The causes and results of increasing United States involvement in the Middle East. 7. The sources of difficulties for the United States in Latin America. 8. The reasons for new tensions with the Soviet Union toward the end of the Eisenhower administration. Main Themes 1. That the technological, consumer-oriented society of the 1 950s was remarkably affluent and unified despite the persistence of a less privileged underclass and the existence of a small corps of detractors. 2. How the Supreme Court’s social desegregation decision of 1954 marked the beginning of a civil- rights revolution for American blacks. 3. How President Dwight Eisenhower presided over a business-oriented “dynamic conservatism” that resisted most new reforms without significantly rolling back the activist government programs born in the 1930s. 4. That while Eisenhower continued to allow containment by building alliances, supporting anticommunist regimes, maintaining the arms race, and conducting limited interventions, he also showed an awareness of American limitations and resisted temptations for greater commitments. Glossary 1. Third World A convenient way to refer to all the nations of the world besides the United States, Canada, the Soviet Union, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, China, and the countries of Europe.

It is important to note that all of these objectives contain an emphasis on rural development. This emphasis was the result of decisions by Cuban economic planners to correct what had been perceived as the most serious ·negative consequence of the Island's economic past--the economic imbalance between town and coun­ try. 1 The dependence of the Cuban economy on sugar production, with its dramatic seasonal employment shifts, the control of the Island's sugar industry by American companies and the siphoning of sugar profits out of Cuba, the concentration in Havana of the wealth created primarily in the countryside, and the lack of economic opportunities and social services in the rural areas, were the main features of an economic and social system that had impoverished the rural population, creating a movement for change.

We have analysed VLBA 92 cm archive data of 44 extragalactic sources in order to identify early targets and potential calibrator sources for the LOFAR radio telescope and the RadioAstron space VLBI mission. Some of these sources will also be suitable as “in- beam” calibrators, permitting deep, wide-field studies of other faint sources in the same field of view. Methods. All publicly available VLBA 92 cm data observed between 1 January 2003 to December 31, 2006 have been analysed via an automatic pipeline, implemented within AIPS. The vast majority of the data are unpublished. Results. The sample consists of 44 sources, 34 of which have been detected on at least one VLBA baseline. 30 sources have sufficient data to be successfully imaged. Most of the sources are compact, with a few showing extended structures.

  • Code Words to Hide Sex Abuse
    CODE WORDS TO HIDE SEX ABUSE A.W. Richard Sipe Revised May 1, 2015 The sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Church has gone on for so long that a community of researchers, academics, and writers has arisen to study the crisis. Among us are historians, legal scholars, sociologists, psychotherapists and more. But no matter our main discipline, we all have had to struggle with many of the same challenges. The first is coming to terms with the fact that while the Church is famously careful about its records and documents, when it comes to sex and the clergy these documents are obscure to the point of deception. The people who keep the records for the Church are driven to deceive by the clerical culture of celibacy, which forbids all sexual activity by ordained men. Because it is forbidden, clerical sexual activity is always guarded in secrecy, and individuals expend enormous effort to keep it that way. Whenever the secrets are identified within the Church, officials use code words to keep others in the dark while they establish a record that will be useful to them, but not to an outsider. This is why a search of Church documents for evidence of prior knowledge of sexually abusing priests will rarely turn-up the words pedophile, abuser, sex, or any other direct reference to actual sexual or abusive behavior. However, those of us who have worked on this issue both from within and outside the Church have noted similar coded terms and euphemisms being used in documents written around the world and at every level of the ecclesiastical bureaucracy.
