  • Jews, Radical Catholic Traditionalists, and the Extreme Right
    “Artisans … for Antichrist”: Jews, Radical Catholic Traditionalists, and the Extreme Right Mark Weitzman* The Israeli historian, Israel J. Yuval, recently wrote: The Christian-Jewish debate that started nineteen hundred years ago, in our day came to a conciliatory close. … In one fell swoop, the anti-Jewish position of Christianity became reprehensible and illegitimate. … Ours is thus the first generation of scholars that can and may discuss the Christian-Jewish debate from a certain remove … a post- polemical age.1 This appraisal helped spur Yuval to write his recent controversial book Two Nations in Your Womb: Perceptions of Jews and Christians in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Yuval based his optimistic assessment on the strength of the reforms in Catholicism that stemmed from the adoption by the Second Vatican Council in 1965 of the document known as Nostra Aetate. Nostra Aetate in Michael Phayer’s words, was the “revolution- ary” document that signified “the Catholic church’s reversal of its 2,000 year tradition of antisemitism.”2 Yet recent events in the relationship between Catholics and Jews could well cause one to wonder about the optimism inherent in Yuval’s pronouncement. For, while the established Catholic Church is still officially committed to the teachings of Nostra Aetate, the opponents of that document and of “modernity” in general have continued their fight and appear to have gained, if not a foothold, at least a hearing in the Vatican today. And, since in the view of these radical Catholic traditionalists “[i]nternational Judaism wants to radically defeat Christianity and to be its substitute” using tools like the Free- * Director of Government Affairs, Simon Wiesenthal Center.

  • The Priestly Patriotic Associations in the Eastern European Countries
    231 Pregledni znanstveni članek (1.02) BV 68 (2008) 2, 231-256 UDK 272-784-726.3(4-11)«194/199« Bogdan Kolar SDB The Priestly Patriotic Associations in the Eastern European Countries Abstract: The priestly patriotic associations used to be a part of the every day life of the Catholic Church in the Eastern European countries where after World War II Com- munist Parties seized power putting in their programmes the elimination of the Catho- lic Church from the public life and in the final analysis the destruction of the religion in general. In spite of the fact that the associations were considered professional guilds of progressive priests with a particular national mission they were planned by their founders or instigators (mainly coming from various secret services and the offices for religious affairs) as a means of internal dissension among priests, among priests and bishops, among local Churches and the Holy See, and in the final stage also among the leaders of church communities and their members. A special attention of the totalitarian authorities was dedicated to the priests because they were in touch with the population and the most vulnerable part of the Church structures. To perform their duties became impossible if their relations with the local authorities as well as with the repressive in- stitutions were not regulated or if the latter set obstacles in fulfilling their priestly work. Taking into account the necessary historic and social context, the overview of the state of the matters in Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia), Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia demonstrates that the instigators of the priestly patriotic so- cieties followed the same pattern, used the same methods and defined the same goals of their activities.

    7 Razprave Pregledni znanstveni članek (1.02) Bogoslovni vestnik 77 (2017) 1,7—38 UDK: 272-9(497.4)“19“ Besedilo prejeto: 4/2017; sprejeto: 5/2017 Bogdan Kolar Regens nuntiaturae mons. Joseph Patrick Hurley in katoliška Cerkev v Sloveniji Povzetek: Po spremembi politične ureditve v Jugoslaviji s koncem druge svetovne vojne je bilo treba urediti tudi vprašanje odnosov s Svetim sedežem. Jugoslo- vanske oblasti so iskale priznanje Svetega sedeža, pri tem pa so imele pred očmi mednarodni pomen takšne odločitve. Papež Pij XII. je kot svojega osebnega po- slanca v Jugoslaviji imenoval ameriškega škofa mons. Josepha P. Hurleyja, ki se je enoumno postavil na stran katoliške Cerkve in ni opravičil pričakovanj državnih oblasti. Zato so kmalu nastale napetosti, ki so povzročile, da je po dobrih treh letih zapustil državo. Predtem je rešil vprašanje imenovanja nekaterih škofov, tudi v obeh slovenskih škofijah, uredil cerkvene strukture in se tudi drugače za- vzel za pravice Cerkve proti prevelikemu poseganju države na cerkveno področje. Katoliški škofje so v njem našli močnega podpiratelja in vez s Svetim sedežem. Stike z njim so ohranili še po njegovi vrnitvi na sedež sv. Avguština na Floridi. Ključne besede: mons. Joseph P. Hurley (1894–1967), papež Pij XII. (1876–1958), katoliška Cerkev, Slovenija Abstract: Regens Nuntiaturae Mons. Joseph Patrick Hurley and the Catholic Church in Slovenia Due to the change of the political system in Yugoslavia after the end of World War II it was necessary to find a new settlement of the relations between the state and the Holy See. The Yugoslav authorities were trying to be recognized by the Holy See, considering above all the international meaning of such a de- cision.

    OHIO HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION Dear OHSBCA Member, 1/20/11 Welcome to the 2011 OHSBCA State Coaches Clinic: “America’s Game”. The Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association has become the 2nd largest high school coaches’ association in the country. Coaches, national speakers, and vendors from all over the country feel that the Ohio High School Coaches Association Clinic is one of the best in the entire country. One of my favorite quotes comes from one of this year’s clinicians; John Cohen from Mississippi St. John speaks all over the country at not only big national conventions, but small ones too. He said, “Looking forward to seeing you at the clinic. You guys are first class and run an incredible clinic.” My hope is that you will feel the same after this weekend. I would also like to take time to welcome you to the Hyatt Regency, “Downtown Columbus”, and our home for the next few days. What an outstanding and first-class setting for one of the premiere high school coaches’ clinics. Please feel free to let any of the OHSBCA Board members or I know if we can personally help or assist you in any way this weekend while here at the clinic, or throughout the year. We, the board, wish to be the best representation of all our members’ coaches and their concerns. This weekend’s lineup consists of great speakers from all over the country. I thank each and everyone of you speakers for agreeing to come speak and promote this great game of baseball.

Its President, Tim Furlong, explains that Joe was “the unanimous choice” of the 80-member organization. “He’s very, very deserving,” Tim adds, “and I’m shocked that he’s not been Irishman in the past.” He was chosen in recognition of what he has done for the Irish community in Montreal, the general community, and in particular Joe Mell being sashed by Bill Hurley, the 2012 Irishman of the year. for Point St. Charles.

    “ Here come the IRISH“ NEW JERSEY’S LEADERS 2019 MAKE OUR STATE A BETTER PLACE! HERE COME THE IR ISH ! New Jersey’s Leaders 2019 St. Patrick’s Day is once again upon us with its month long festivities. To help celebrate the occasion, InsiderNJ.com presents its annual and profiled list of New Jersey’s Irish American leaders and activists as a salute to the holiday and as a harbinger of long awaited springtime. The annual tribute to the ‘Irish High Holy Days’ is an acknowledgement of accomplishments, numerous contributions and community service. Once again, the list includes both veterans of previous compilations and quite a few newcomers, as well. Collectively, they have all demonstrated a commitment to their Irish American heritage. The updated list is compiled to commemorate the 84th Anniversary of the Newark St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the oldest Irish American march in New Jersey (1936-present), interrupted only by WWII (1943-46). This year’s Irish march in downtown Newark is scheduled for Friday, March 15 at 1:00pm. Grand Marshal Sean O’Neill and Deputy Grand Marshal Kathleen M. Conlon have been elected by delegates to lead the parade. The 2019 Newark Parade is dedicated to Thomas J. Gartland (1939-2018) Tom Barrett, compiler of the list, credits the Newark parade for its sense of tradition and staying power. His father, Thomas P. J. Barrett, a journalist and World War II veteran, was a three-time parade chairman. The list is purely subjective. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY IT! WILLIAM (BILL) BARONI JOSEPH P. BRENNAN, ESQ.
