If anything, that feeling is now stronger. There had been a suggestion that despite the Pope’s fine vision for the Church, he lacked ‘generals’ on the ground to support him in what needed to be done. Now however, it is evident that he has been calmly appointing carefully chosen prelates to key positions, men he knows and trusts after his many years in the Vatican. In Rome all seems positive – even though not everyone will end up with all that they might hope for! When we turn to our own country, the contrast is inescapable. In the matter of changes affecting the Holy Days of Obligation, our Bishops’ Conference has drawn upon itself an unprecedented storm of criticism, reflected even in The Tablet and confirmed in its opinion poll.

  • Analysis of International Baccalaureate Program
    October 8, 2020 Analysis of International Baccalaureate Program By Dr. Denise Donohue and Dr. Dan Guernsey he following is part of The Cardinal Newman Society’s series of analyses of secular T materials and programs used in Catholic education. Such materials and programs must be carefully evaluated to determine if their underlying philosophy, content, and activities are aligned to the mission of Catholic education and, if used, what adaptations might be needed. The Newman Society’s “Policy Guidance Related to Secular Materials and Programs in Catholic Education” offers a framework for such evaluation and is the basis for this particular analysis. Overview The International Baccalaureate (IB) program is used in about 5,000 schools in more than 150 countries,1 including more than 1,800 schools in the United States.2 The IB program has steadily increased its presence in the U.S., adding about 100 new schools a year in recent years.3 Catholic schools currently comprise 2 percent of that total.4 Originally designed to instruct the children of international diplomats, the IB Diploma Program (IBDP) and its foundational Theory of Knowledge course were officially registered in Geneva in 1968. As the program slowly acquired global recognition, the Middle and Primary Year Programs were introduced, followed by a program geared toward students on a career-related track. The mission statement reads: 1 See https://www.ibo.org/about-the-ib/ (accessed on June 12, 2020). 2 See https://www.ibo.org/country/US/ (accessed on June 12, 2020). 3 “International Baccalaureate: Guided by a Mission” at https://www.newsweek.com/insights/best-usas-ib- accredited-schools-2016 (accessed on June 12, 2020).

The former head of a Catholic girls school in Birmingham, Jean, who lived just over a mile from where Newman was at the Oratory, spoke to BBC Radio Suffolk live from Rome. “We are all so excited about today. I had a reserved seat and an invitation to a reception at the British Embassy attended by Prince Charles,” she said. “There are lots of similarities in my own faith journey to Newman’s,” said Jean. “I was brought up an evangelical – both my dad and grandad were evangel - ical preachers - then friends took me to an Anglican church.

  • Principles of the New Evangelization: Analysis and Directions
    PRINCIPLES OF THE NEW EVANGELIZATION: ANALYSIS AND DIRECTIONS By Richard M. Rymarz, B.Sc (Hons), M.Sc, M.Ed.Studies, Grad Dip Ed, Ed.D, M.A (Theol). A thesis submitted as full requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Australian Catholic University. School of Theology Faculty of Philosophy and Theology Australian Catholic University Date of Submission: 25th of May 2010 University Research Services Office Melbourne Campus Locked Bag 4115 Fitzroy VIC 3065 1 STATEMENT OF AUTHORSHIP AND SOURCES This thesis contains no material published elsewhere or extracted in whole or in part from a thesis by which I have qualified for or been awarded another degree or diploma. No part of this thesis has been submitted towards the award of any other degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution. No other person’s work has been used without due acknowledgement in the main text of the thesis. Richard M. Rymarz 2 ABSTRACT This thesis, after appropriate analysis, proposes a number of principles, which guide both an understanding of the new evangelization as formulated by Pope John Paul II and how the new evangelization can be applied. The key insight of the new evangelization is that growing numbers of people, especially in Western countries such as Australia, whilst retaining what can be termed a “loose” form of Christian affiliation, can no longer be described as having a living sense of the Gospel. This makes these people distinct from the classical focus of missionary activity, namely, those who have never heard the Gospel proclaimed. Pope John Paul II’s exposition of the new evangelization arose from his understanding of key conciliar and post-conciliar documents.

  • Human Sexuality in Catholic Education
    December 2020 Human Sexuality in Catholic Education atholic education is committed to the pursuit of truth and promotion of the Gospel. Central C to its mission is the integral formation of students’ minds, hearts, and bodies in truth and holiness. A significant challenge toward this end is confusion in the common culture regarding the nature of human sexuality. The Catholic Church has a deep and rich understanding of the human person informed by natural law and firmly rooted in Christian revelation, which is its privilege and duty to proclaim and which the culture desperately needs to hear. Errors in understanding human sexuality can lead to errors in understanding human nature, the moral order, and even truth and reality itself. Catholic education’s proclamation of the full truth of humanity requires both sensitivity and courage. It requires clarity, charity, and integrity. It requires loving pastoral responses and clearly articulated beliefs, standards, and policies. Such pastoral efforts and policies should support the mission of Catholic education, be consistent with Church teaching, and be based on a sound Christian anthropology (i.e., concept of the human person). This concept derives from the overarching biblical vision of the human person, which proposes that we find our deepest identity and happiness only by making a sincere gift of ourselves to others. God made men and women as complementary creatures who are naturally ordered to the special union of one man and one woman in marriage. Central as well to the Christian concept of the human person is that God made both men and women in His image, of equal and immense dignity, existing as a unity of body and soul, and destined for union with Him according to His plan.

  • The Enduring Effects of War: Introduction
    The Enduring Effects of War: Introduction A series of lesson plans on war for Year 9 and 10 students created through a partner- ship between the Medical Association for Prevention of War, its project partner Act for Peace and the History Teachers’ Association of Victoria. The Enduring Effects of War: Introduction INTRODUCTION History teachers often struggle with lessons about war. Conflicts have shaped the ancient and modern world and it is important that students are aware of the role of conflicts in the history of civilisation. In addition to developing a world view, teachers hope that understanding the history of war will help future generations learn from the actions of their ancestors. However, many teachers are concerned that unless approached sensitively, the focus on war in the classroom can have the opposite effect, causing students to glorify it. This unique set of resources has been developed from the perspectives of medical practitioners, many of them also war veterans. It helps students focus on the physical and mental costs of war, aspects of conflict often marginalised by larger themes of mateship and national pride. Students will learn about the often silent effects of war: injury, mental illness and disease. ABOUT THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION FOR PREVENTION OF WAR The Medical Association for Prevention of War (Australia) is a professional not-for-profit organisation that works to promote peace and disarmament. MAPW aims to reduce the physical and psychological impact, as well as environmental effect, of wars throughout the world. MAPW has branches in every state and territory in Australia. The members of MAPW are mostly medical practitioners who use their understanding of world medical issues in the campaign to prevent war using diplomatic channels rather than armed combat.

  • Analysis of Secular Character Development Programs and Materials
    October 8, 2020 Analysis of Secular Character Development Programs and Materials By Dr. Denise Donohue and Dr. Dan Guernsey he following is part of The Cardinal Newman Society’s series of analyses of secular T materials and programs used in Catholic education. Such materials and programs must be carefully evaluated to determine if their underlying philosophy, content, and activities are aligned to the mission of Catholic education and, if used, what adaptations might be needed. The Newman Society’s “Policy Guidance Related to Secular Materials and Programs in Catholic Education” offers a framework for such evaluation and is the basis for this particular analysis. Overview By their very nature, schools form character; as long as schools have existed, there have been character development programs and materials. Many are designed for public schools and are therefore secular in orientation.1 Because public schools cannot directly address the theological foundations of virtue, morality, and character, they primarily rely on cultural, psychological, or philosophical assumptions to ground their efforts. Unfortunately, many programs and materials designed primarily for public schools have been tainted by atheistic humanism or relativism. Other resources are more promising, based on concepts of natural law and a traditional Western understanding of the human person without explicitly teaching traditional Christian norms. 1 There are numerous, widely varied programs. By way of example, but without endorsement, these include such programs as Alive to the World, an international character-building program; Character Counts, used in public schools across the U.S.; the Center for the 4th and 5th Rs, which promotes moral virtue; the Human Dignity Curriculum of World Youth Alliance; and the Heart2Heart program of Illinois Right to Life.
