Hugh Cleary, C.S.C. 329 To Those Who Love the Congregation of Holy Cross 3 INTRODUCTION 5 INTRODUCTION he papal document Ex corde ecclesiae rightly acknowledges that the Catholic university T is “born from the heart of the Church” to serve the good of humanity (§1) and the good of the church (§31). Moreover the document speaks of a critical kind of service that marks, or ought to mark, a Catholic university—“service as the proclamation of truth without which freedom, justice and human dignity are extinguished.” The Catholic university as Catholic and as university occupies a particular position and operates from a particular perspective in fulfilling its tasks to serve the good of humanity and the good of the church so that truth is ac- complished and proclaimed to serve justice, freedom and human dignity. Acknowledging the particularity of this position and of this perspective is not the articulation of a triumphal claim but rather the acknowledgement of a mission to be accomplished and to be celebrated. The mission of the Catholic university serves multiple ends in the transformation of the lives of those who live within its mission—both students who spend several formative years within its culture and the faculty and staff whose careers and lives are intertwined within the life of the university. Among those ends are: (1) the pursuit of truth as the end of the intellec- tual life; (2) the teaching and practice of service as appropriate to citizens of both the City of God and the City of Man; and (3) the development of the life of prayer and the celebration of liturgy as the appropriate expression and acknowledgment of our relationship to God who creates, sustains, and calls us. The University of Portland— Oregon’s Catholic University—in its work as faithful to its mis- sion as a Catholic university hosted two conferences in the spring of 2005 to address this mul- tifaceted role. The first conference, under the title Teaching, Faith, and Service: the Foundation of Freedom, welcomed academicians to campus to directly pursue the first goal—the pursuit of the intellectual life as service to humanity and to the Church. The second conference, under the title Living the Mission, welcomed student affairs and campus ministry leaders to the campus in the direct pursuit of the second and third goals—the teaching of service and liturgy as formative. This collection of some of the presentations from both conferences represents an attempt to share with the community of American Catholic universities the work of the conferences. The presentations are rich and varied in style, in authorship, and in topic. Some are deeply scholarly works and others have the appearance of sermons. Some are interdisciplinary and others are narrowly focused. Some are presentations by well-established and well-known ex- perts and others are the first presentations of young scholars. All are responses to the call for papers directed to scholars as well as to graduate and undergraduate students to contribute to the growth of the work of the Catholic university. The text begins and ends with papers from the Living the Mission Conference. The first paper, Fulfilling the Mission, is the work of Rev. David T. Tyson, C.S.C. Fr. Tyson, former presi- dent of the University of Portland and now provincial of the Indiana Province of Holy Cross, 7 THE FOUNDATION OF FREEDOM describes the work of the university within the context of the Church, the charism of Holy Cross, and the words of the founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Fr. Basil Moreau. Fr. Tyson examines the challenges that are present to the Catholic university now and in the future. He calls the Holy Cross colleges and universities to be bold in their interface with the contemporary culture as they teach their students the truth and form them in justice. The final paper, the Post Script, is the closing sermon of Rev. Hugh Cleary, C.S.C., superior general for the Congregation of Holy Cross. It is entitled To Those Who Love the Congregation of Holy Cross. Fr. Cleary’s work is a reflection on the call to consecrated religious life — the call of Jesus, “Come and follow me.” He reiterates that call as an invitation to serve with love and zeal the mission of Holy Cross and the mission of the Church. The remaining papers have been selected from the conference Teaching, Faith, and Service: the Foundation of Freedom. The Honorable John T. Noonan, Jr. of the United States Court of Appeals in the Ninth Circuit delivered the inaugural Garaventa Lecture as the keynote ad- dress on the opening evening of the conference. In his lecture, Transparency in Theology, Judge Noonan recounts the development of doctrine in the history of the Catholic Church as it responded to new challenges. He claims that the Catholic Church should not deny the truth of corrections when they are made or the advances in the understanding of doctrine when they occur. Acknowledging the mystery of the church as divine and as human should provide confidence in the pursuit of truth and humility in the face of error. He maintains that the peo- ple of God committed to the culture of life depend on the culture of truth and the culture of truth requires transparency in theology. The papers in the second section focus on the task of the Catholic university in response to the papal exhortation Ex corde ecclesiae. This work of John Paul II called the Catholic universi- ties to a period of reflection on their mission and task. Whatever argument one may have with the content of Ex corde ecclesiae, there can be no gainsaying its influence. The first paper in this set is Defining a Catholic University in the U.S.A.: The University of Portland as a Case Study by Rev.

In the days, weeks, months, and years that followed, there was an outpouring of media reacting to and reflecting on the great loss of life and resulting nuclear contamination of the nearby land and sea of the region. Thematically, food plays a large role in many post-3.11 narratives, both through the damage and recovery of local food systems after the natural disasters and the radiation contamination that to this day stigmatizes regionally grown food.

  • Dignitatis Humanae: the Catholic Church's Path to Political Security
    Mystērion: The Theology Journal of Boston College Volume I Issue I Article 4 Dignitatis humanae: The Catholic Church’s Path to Political Security Sean O’Neil Boston College, [email protected] DIGNITATIS HUMANAE: THE CATHOLIC CHURCH’S PATH TO POLITICAL SECURITY SEAN O’NEIL1* Abstract: The Catholic Church has always had a complicated relationship with the political states in which it operates. While much of the Church’s history has shown that the institutional Church’s power relative to the state fluctuates as it has sought to retain political autonomy, it was in the centuries after the Enlightenment in which the most serious threats to the Church’s temporal security began to arise. Considering these alarming trends, the Second Vatican Council’s Declaration on Religious Freedom (Dignitatis humanae) revisited the Church’s relationship with the state in an attempt to secure the Church’s political security in the twentieth century and beyond. Primarily focused on the right to religious freedom, Dignitatis humanae’s authors construct an argument based upon individual claims to religious liberty that ultimately allows the Church to confer upon itself similar protections. Though Dignitatis humanae cedes political authority, it reasserts the Church’s primacy in religious considerations, as well as the disparate judgmental capacities of religious and secular authorities. In concluding, this article will argue that Dignitatis humanae’s significance is two-fold: (1) the Church relinquishes claims to secular governing authority, but (2) elevates its true source of political protection—its individual members—to the forefront of its concern. Introduction In response to questioning from the council of Hebrew elders about his preaching of the Gospel, Saint Peter noted: “We must obey God rather than any human authority.

  • The Centrality of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at Christendom College
    THE CENTRALITY OF THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS AT CHRISTENDOM COLLEGE The Church teaches that the Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life”1 and that the celebration of the Mass “is a sacred action surpassing all others. No other action of the Church can equal its efficacy.”2 That is why “as a natural expression of the Catholic identity of the University. members of this community . will be encouraged to participate in the celebration of the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, as the most perfect act of community worship.”3 Those central truths are taught and lived at Christendom College, a “Catholic coeducational college institutionally committed to the Magisterium”4 of the Church, in the following ways: The Celebration of the Sacred Liturgy The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass • Mass is offered frequently: twice daily Monday through Thursday, three times on MONDAY (Friday), twice on Saturday, and once on Sunday (the day on which we gather as one family). • Mass in the Roman Rite is celebrated in all the ways offered by the Church: in the Ordinary Form in both English and Latin, and in the Extraordinary Form from one to three times per week, as circumstances permit. • The Ordinary Form of the Mass is celebrated with the solemnity appropriate to each feast, utilizing worthy sacred vessels and vestments, and drawing upon the Church’s rich tradition of chant, polyphony, and hymnody. • The Ordinary Form of the Mass is celebrated reverently and with rubrical fidelity. • No classes or other activities are scheduled during Mass times. • The majority of the College community attends daily Mass regularly and with great devotion.

We do have such an on-going puzzle in canon law; it is the prima facie conflict between the demand of stability and the imperative of development. Stability is an essential quality of any good legal system because a community's lav{s are an expression of its identity, and there is no identity without permanency. Many times we hear in the United States that we are a country held together by our laws. Although the statement cannot be the full truth, it is obvious that if our laws ever lost their stability, the nation's identity would be imperiled. In a relig­ ious community where the source of its identity is in the common memory of a divine revelation, the demand for stability is even stronger.

ABSTRACT The encyclicals and speeches of Pope John Paul II placed solidarity at the very center of the Catholic social tradition and contemporary Christian ethics. This disserta- tion analyzes the historical development of solidarity in the Church’s encyclical tradition, and then offers an examination and comparison of the unique contributions of John Paul II and the Jesuit theologian Jon Sobrino to contemporary understandings of solidarity. Ultimately, I argue that understanding solidarity as spiritual exercise integrates the wis- dom of John Paul II’s conception of solidarity as the virtue for an interdependent world with Sobrino’s insights on the ethical implications of Christian spirituality, orthopraxis, and a commitment to communal liberation.

  • This Chapter Will Demonstrate How Anglo-Catholicism Sought to Deploy
    Building community: Anglo-Catholicism and social action Jeremy Morris Some years ago the Guardian reporter Stuart Jeffries spent a day with a Salvation Army couple on the Meadows estate in Nottingham. When he asked them why they had gone there, he got what to him was obviously a baffling reply: “It's called incarnational living. It's from John chapter 1. You know that bit about 'Jesus came among us.' It's all about living in the community rather than descending on it to preach.”1 It is telling that the phrase ‘incarnational living’ had to be explained, but there is all the same something a little disconcerting in hearing from the mouth of a Salvation Army officer an argument that you would normally expect to hear from the Catholic wing of Anglicanism. William Booth would surely have been a little disconcerted by that rider ‘rather than descending on it to preach’, because the early history and missiology of the Salvation Army, in its marching into working class areas and its street preaching, was precisely about cultural invasion, expressed in language of challenge, purification, conversion, and ‘saving souls’, and not characteristically in the language of incarnationalism. Yet it goes to show that the Army has not been immune to the broader history of Christian theology in this country, and that it too has been influenced by that current of ideas which first emerged clearly in the middle of the nineteenth century, and which has come to be called the Anglican tradition of social witness. My aim in this essay is to say something of the origins of this movement, and of its continuing relevance today, by offering a historical re-description of its origins, 1 attending particularly to some of its earliest and most influential advocates, including the theologians F.D.
