OR, FOUR MEN IN A BATEAU (213 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Natasha Levinson, Ph. D. Dozens of academic studies over the course of the past four or five decades have shown empirically that Catholic schools, according to a wide array of standards and measures, are the best schools at producing good American citizens. This dissertation proposes that this is so is partly because the schools are infused with the Catholic ethos (also called the Catholic Imagination or the Analogical Imagination) and its approach to the world in general. A large part of this ethos is based upon Catholic Anthropology, the Church’s teaching about the nature of the human person and his or her relationship to other people, to Society, to the State, and to God.

  • Catholic Novelists in Defense of Their Faith, 1829-1866
    Catholic Novelists in Defense of Their Faith, 1829-1866 WILLARD THORP IN THE EARLY YEARS of the Republic there was a general distrust of fiction. Novels were held to be insipid, frivolous, and even dangerous. Indulgence in novel-reading was, at the least, a waste of time; at the worst, it could lead to immoral- ity. In his Sentimental Novel in America (l940) Herbert Ross Brown notes that these inherent evils were of concern to men prominent in public affairs. Thomas Jefferson wrote to Nathaniel Burwell: 'When this poison infects the mind, it de- stroys its tone and revolts it against wholesome reading. The result is a bloated imagination, sickly judgment, and dis- gust towards all the real businesses of life.' Noah Webster had strong feelings in the matter. Presidents Dwight of Yale and Witherspoon of Princeton viewed with alarm. Still, as literacy increased and urban life became more ur- bane, people wanted to read novels. Our early novelists soon discovered ways to relieve readers of feelings of guilt. One way was to announce in the title that the tale was designed to inculcate virtue. Surely one might safely venture inside a novel with such a title as Amelia; or. The Influence of Virtue (I8O2) or What is Gentility? a Moral Tale (1828). Another strategy was to declare that your novel was 'founded on fact.' For some reason that escapes me, believing that you were reading a factual, not a fictional account of kidnapping, seduction, or murder was reassuring. 25 26 American Antiquarian Society Writers also discovered that if their novels championed a cause, they could attract readers.
