  • Saint Anselm, Blessed John Henry Newman, and the Idea of a Benedictine University
    Saint Anselm, Blessed John Henry Newman, and the Idea of a Benedictine University Fr. Daniel Patrick Moloney, Ph.D. John Henry Newman's "Benedictine Essays" develop a strong thesis that Benedictine spirituality is necessarily at odds with the methods of the modern university. Benedictine spiritual life encourages the monk to mortify his intellect, not to satisfy it or to stir it up. It is best suited to grammar school, to the study of literature and history and Scripture, while rejecting the value of studying worldly topics that don't prepare a person for union with God in the next life. Newman's account makes the project of a Benedictine university like St. Anselm's College seem deeply problematic, even oxymoronic. St. Anselm of Canterbury, a transitional figure on Newman's account, shows some ways of reconciling a speculative intellectual life with Benedictine spirituality, but Newman's challenge to the project still remains. It’s a great honor to be here. When I was invited to give this lecture, that is to give the Saint Anselm Lecture at Saint Anselm College on the Feast of Saint Anselm, I thought I noticed a theme. I’m an expert on Saint Anselm, having written my dissertation on your patron saint and having been studying him since I was a senior in college more than twenty years ago. So I figured that the topic of my talk was going to be Saint Anselm. But then I read the fine print of the invitation, and realized that because this year is the anniversary of the College, that I was being asked to talk not just about Saint Anselm and his continued significance, but about something I didn’t know anything about, namely “distinctively Benedictine Catholic higher education.” I’m sure that’s a topic of some reflection here, at a Benedictine College, but it’s not something I’ve ever thought about.

    INTRODUCTION The inspiration for this little booklet comes from two sources. The first source is a booklet developed in 1997 by Father GeorgeW. Traub, S.j., titled "Do You Speak Ignatian? A Glossary ofTerms Used in Ignatian and]esuit Circles." The booklet is published by the Ignatian Programs/Spiritual Development offICe of Xavier University, Cincinnati, Ohio. The second source, Beoneodicotionoal)', a pamphlet published by the Admissions Office of Benedictine University, was designed to be "a useful reference guide to help parents and students master the language of the college experience at Benedictine University." This booklet is not an alphabetical glossary but a directory to various offices and services. Beoneodicotio7loal)' II provides members of the campus community, and other interested individuals, with an opportunity to understand some of the specific terms used by Benedictine men and women. \\''hile Benedictine University makes a serious attempt to have all members of the campus community understand the "Benedictine Values" that underlie the educational work of the University, we hope this booklet will take the mystery out of some of the language used commonly among Benedictine monastics. This booklet was developed by Fr. David Turner, a,S.B., as part of the work of the Center for Mission and Identity at Benedictine University. I ABBESS The superior of a monastery of women, established as an abbey, is referred to as an abbess.. The professed members of the abbey are usually referred to as nuns. The abbess is elected to office following the norms contained in the proper law of the Congregation ohvhich the abbey is a member.

In the early medieval period, certain followers of western Christianity concerned themselves with living ascetically ideal lives in order to reach redemption. This type of lifestyle included a withdrawal from society. To many, solitude could lead to the eventual obtainment of the ascetic goal. Solitude, however, was not the only requirement for those who desired a spiritual lifestyle. Individuals who longed for purity of heart and Christian reward would only yield results by keeping several other aspects of Christianity in mind, “Key notions…are…the importance of scripture, both as a source of ideas and, through recitation, as a means to tranquility and self-control; the value ascribed to individual freedom…and the awareness of God’s presence as both the context and the focus of work and prayer.”1 Together, a solitary lifestyle and the freedom that accompanies it, the importance of scripture, and the everlasting presence of God came to characterize the existence of those who strove to work towards complete austerity. In this thesis, I hope to explore one fork of the ascetic path – monasticism. Communal monastic living proved to be popular in the late antique and early medieval periods.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Development and Significance of the Religious Habit of Men A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Peter F. Killeen Washington, D.C. 2015 The Development and Significance of the Religious Habit of Men Peter F. Killeen, Ph.D. Director: Raymond Studzinski, Ph.D. In light of the diminished status of the religious habit since Vatican II, this dissertation explores the development and significance of the religious habit of male institutes of the Western Church. Currently (2015), many older religious believe that consecrated life may be lived more faithfully without a religious habit, while a high percentage of younger religious desire to wear a habit as a visual expression of their consecration. This difference of opinion is a cause of tension within many religious institutes. Despite tremendous change in the use of the religious habit since Vatican II, the habit has received minimal scholarly attention, and practically none written in English. This dissertation engages the initial legislative texts of numerous religious institutes in an effort to present the historical development of the habit of male religious of the Western Church. It also gives magisterial directives on the habit that have been issued throughout the history of the Church. The dissertation summarizes theological themes that have traditionally been connected to the religious habit, and it engages theological interpretations that have emerged since Vatican II which have contributed to the diminishment of the religious habit.

  • Chapter Twenty-Three Christianity from the Fifth to the Eleventh
    Chapter Twenty-three Christianity from the Fifth to the Eleventh Century While the Dar al-Islam was prospering, much of Christendom was impoverished and the rest of it was under attack. In western Europe the Roman empire had disintegrated, and what had once been highly civilized lands entered a long Dark Age. Military and therefore political power was in the hands of Germanic warlords, whose territories soon evolved into kingdoms. Social and economic conditions deteriorated to a level not seen since before the original Roman conquests. In the east, the Byzantine empire not only surrendered everything south of the Taurus mountains to the Arabians, but also suffered on its western and northern frontiers the same kind of barbarian raids and takeovers that had earlier ruined western Europe and Britain. Although the Byzantines survived the barbarian onslaught, their empire was much diminished by it: from the fifth through the seventh century the Byzantine empire lost not only the Levant, Egypt and North Africa to the Arabians, but also most of southeastern Europe to Slavic- or Avar-speaking warlords. In the bleakest periods the empire consisted only of Anatolia and, in Europe, Constantinople itself and its hinterland. For Christianity, nevertheless, the fifth through eleventh centuries were a time of remarkable growth as the faith spread through the British isles and all of Europe. As Germanic and Slavic speakers were converted, paganism disappeared and by the beginning of the crusades almost everyone in western Eurasia worshiped God. Although the Christian communions in the Dar al-Islam tended to dwindle, both Catholic and Orthodox Christianity grew substantially.

Introduction: How Do You Solve a Problem Like the Cistercians? One of the great paradoxes of the medieval period is the Albigensian Crusade (1209- 1229). The result of cooperation between the papacy, the northern French king, and the monastic order of the Cistercians, the crusade pitted an army from the north of France against the counts and ‘heretics’ of Southern France, with the ultimate goal of eliminating the heresies commonly known as Catharism.1 This crusade, in stark contrast to the First and Second Crusades which preceded it, was fought entirely within Medieval Europe and between two groups of Christians, already making it a unique event in medieval history.

He was a young man, short but sturdy, and wore the dress of a university student. As he approached the village, the sky became overcast. Suddenly there was a shower, then a crashing storm. A bolt of lightning rived the gloom and knocked the man to the ground. Struggling to rise, he cried in terror, "St. Anne help me! I will become a monk." The man who thus called upon a saint was later to repudiate the cult of the saints. He who vowed to become a monk was later to renounce monasticism.
