The most acclaimed and substantial early article on Moore as a Canadian author is J. Ludwig, "Brian Moore: Ireland's Loss, Canada's Novelist," in Critique: Studies in Modern Fiction 12 (1962): 5-13. Somewhat ironically, it is Ludwig who makes Moore heir to Joyce. On Moore within the Canadian literary canon, see D. Cameron, "Brian Moore," in Conversations with Canadian Novelists (Toronto: Macmillan of Canada, 1973), 64-85. See also G. Woodcock, in W.

In this latter short piece, originally commissioned by Granta, Moore writes of his desire to return to Ireland for burial. 7 Respectively: Flood, Brian Moore, 13-34, covering Judith Hearne and The Feast of Lupercal; 35-63, covering The Luck of Ginger Coffey and An Answer from Limbo; 64- 88, covering The Emperor of Ice-Cream, I Am Mary Dunne, and Fergus; and 89-96, covering The Revolution Script and Catholics. 8 Flood's work is restricted to novels published up to 1972, and thus with a consideration of Catholics and The Revolution Script. The latter is not easily classified as fiction and it is therefore not included in this present study. It is an account of the kidnap of a British trade minister, James Cross, and a French-Canadian politician, Pierre Laporte, by the Quebec liberation terrorist group, the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQJ, in Montreal in 1970. 9 D.

    Haiti and the United States During the 1980s and 1990s: Refugees, Immigration, and Foreign Policy Carlos Ortiz Miranda* I. INTRODUCTION The Caribbean nation of Haiti is located on the western third of the island of Hispaniola, and shares that island with the Dominican Republic. To its northwest lies the Windward Passage, a strip of water that separates Haiti from the island of Cuba by approximately fifty miles. 1 Throughout the 1980s and 1990s the Windward Passage has been used as the maritime route of choice by boatpeople fleeing Haiti for political reasons or seeking greater economic opportunity abroad.2 * Assistant General Counsel, United States Catholic Conference.

  • Modern Alternative Popes*
    Modern Alternative Popes* Magnus Lundberg Uppsala University The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) is arguably the most important event in modern Catholicism, and a major act on the twentieth-century religious scene at large. On several points, the conciliar fathers made changes in how the Catholic Church perceived the modern world. The language in the decrees was different from earlier councils’, and the bishops opened up for ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, seeing at least “seeds of truth” in other religious traditions. The conciliar fathers also voted in favour of liberty of religion, as meaning something more than the right to practise Catholic faith. A very concrete effect of the Council was the introduction of the New Mass Order (Novus Ordo Missae) in 1969 that replaced the traditional Roman rite, decreed by Pius V in 1570. Apart from changes in content, under normal circumstances, the new mass should be read in the vernacular, not in Latin as before. Though many Catholics welcomed the reforms of Vatican II, many did not. In the period just after the end of the Council, large numbers of priests and nuns were laicized, few new priest candidates entered the seminaries, and many laypeople did not recognize the church and the liturgy, which they had grown up with. In the post- conciliar era, there developed several traditionalist groups that criticized the reforms and in particular the introduction of the Novus Ordo. Their criticism could be more or less radical, and more or less activist. Many stayed in their parishes and attended mass there, but remained faithful to traditional forms of devotions and paid much attention to modern Marian apparitions.

    ESCRITO TOMADO DEL BLOG SURSUM CORDA PUBLICADO ALLI EL Miércoles, 29 de marzo de 2017 El estado mental del Arzobispo Thuc Nota introductoria Presentamos en Sursum Corda este artículo, publicado en 1994 y cuyo autor es el P. Clarence Kelly. La traducción al español fue realizada por la señora Claudia Caputo (como figura al final del mismo) en el año 2002. El artículo es bastante extenso y ocupa unas 22 páginas (en formato word, tamaño A4). (…) Como sé que muchas personas procederán con una nueva catarata de insultos (incluyendo desde amenazas hasta deseos de que yo me vaya al infierno, la muerte de mis familiares y todo lo que a ustedes se les pueda ocurrir), les recomiendo que en primer lugar lean todo el documento y que en caso de tener objeciones las hagan con fundamentos, y si no es demasiado pedir, que esos fundamentos estén sustentados en argumentos teológicos, canónicos e históricos.

Clarence Kelly ("The Bulletin", Oyster Bay, N.Y., January 1994) mental "La recaída en la profanación del sacramento del Orden (la última consagración conferida en una secta fue el 24 de septiembre de 1982) y la falta de firmeza en su promesa de no caer otra vez permiten hacer una pregunta esencial: Este hombre de 85 años de edad, ¿estaba en posesión de sus facultades?, ¿se daba cuenta de lo que hacía al imponer tan fácilmente las manos a cualquiera? ¿Era verdaderamente responsable de sus actos? Sólo hay tres respuestas posibles a esta cuestión. -No. Thuc no estaba en posesión de todas sus facultades; no era responsable y no incurrió en las penas previstas por la ley.

  • Catholic Candle's List of Priests & Those Who Claim to Be Priests
    Revision date: November 6, 2020 Catholic Candle’s List of Priests & Those Who Claim to be Priests This list primarily focuses on whether there is any doubt concerning the validity of the ordination of a priest whom the faithful might encounter. Note: Catholic sacramental theology requires that an ordination be treated as invalid if even the slightest reasonable doubt exists, concerning the validity of either the ordination or the ordaining bishop’s consecration. See the analyses elsewhere in Catholic Candle, which demonstrate the inherent doubtfulness of conciliar ordinations and consecrations: http://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/new-ordination-doubtful.html https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oPuI54eEGd2RRcTFSY29EYzg/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oPuI54eEGZVF5cmFvMGdZM0U/view Also, in the list below, Catholic Candle flags sedevacantist priests (or supposed priests) of which we are aware. Sedevacantism is a grave error and is schism. See this article analyzing the sedevacantist error: https://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/against-sedevacantism.html This is not a list of “approved” priests. It is the beginning of a prudent investigation concerning a particular priest. Fr. Patrick Abbet From Switzerland. Ordained in 2002. Source: STAS.org website, where he was an SSPX seminary professor. Fr. Stephen Abraham As of April 2017, he lives in a house with Bishop Richard Nelson Williamson, in Broadstairs, England. There are serious problems with this SSPX-ordained priest. Stay away from him! If you have a serious practical reason to know more information, please contact Catholic Candle. 1 Revision date: November 6, 2020 Fr. Albert Kallio, O.P.
