As Pope Francis writes to us in his exhortation Querida Amazonia “Here we see the authentic The work of H & A illuminates and reveals; it is a Tradition of the Church, which is not a static detection of God’s revelation in our Spiritan deposit or a museum piece, but the root of a history. This discovery invigorates Spiritans to constantly growing tree. This millennial tradition be people who put their lives on the line for bears witness to God’s work in the midst of his God’s revelation and justice, and for the good people and is called to keep the flame alive of humanity. H & A therefore says ‘no’ to the rather than to guard its ashes.” (No. 65) “But let negativity of the free-riders, cynics and us be fearless; let us not clip the wings of the nay-sayers.

Fr Edward Stirling undertook the systematic setting up of the Archives in 1991. They were housed in the premises of the former Catering College. He was a keen collector of memorabilia and other collectables. Fr Pete Queally took over as archivist in 2000 and continued in this role until his sudden death in 2019. He very much progressed the programme of transition year students doing placement work in the Archives. This made the Archives a hive of activity with students doing different projects. They were constantly available for providing family members of both past members and Spiritans with genealogical information. The late Dr Seán O’Donnell and Séamus King were given invaluable access to the Archives as they were writing their respective histories of Rockwell College and Rockwell Rovers GAA club. Fr Bill Kingston has made available in digital format the following: ‘Rockwell Fr Ned Stirling and land registry documents’; ‘History of Rockwell by significant dates’; ‘Rockwell deed documents, 1765-1904’.

It was written in the same spirit as the ‘Regulations’ of Claude Poullart des Places. They were approved by the archbishop of Paris on 2 January 1734. The formators community took the name of Holy Spirit Society and the student’s community was called The Holy Spirit Seminary. At the time of its official recognition the congregation had only five members: Frs Louis Bouïc, Pierre Caris, Pierre Thomas, Michel David and Nicolas Foisset. The number of Holy Spirit priests never exceeded the amount needed to train the seminarians. In fact their number never surpassed fifty in the first century of their existence. In 1773 Fr Louis Bouïc got permission from the archbishop of Paris for the Holy Spirit Congregation to teach their own students. He also encouraged priests formed in the Holy Spirit Seminary to travel to far away missions. Between 1732 and 1792 of the 1,200 priests trained c.120 went to overseas missions.

  • Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015
    Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather.

  • Catholicism and the Judiciary in Ireland, 1922-1960
    IRISH JUDICIAL STUDIES JOURNAL 1 CATHOLICISM AND THE JUDICIARY IN IRELAND, 1922-1960 Abstract: This article examines evidence of judicial deference to Catholic norms during the period 1922-1960 based on a textual examination of court decisions and archival evidence of contact between Catholic clerics and judges. This article also examines legal judgments in the broader historical context of Church-State studies and, argues, that the continuity of the old orthodox system of law would not be easily superseded by a legal structure which reflected the growing pervasiveness of Catholic social teaching on politics and society. Author: Dr. Macdara Ó Drisceoil, BA, LLB, Ph.D, Barrister-at-Law Introduction The second edition of John Kelly’s The Irish Constitution was published with Sir John Lavery’s painting, The Blessing of the Colours1 on the cover. The painting is set in a Church and depicts a member of the Irish Free State army kneeling on one knee with his back arched over as he kneels down facing the ground. He is deep in prayer, while he clutches a tricolour the tips of which fall to the floor. The dominant figure in the painting is a Bishop standing confidently above the solider with a crozier in his left hand and his right arm raised as he blesses the soldier and the flag. To the Bishop’s left, an altar boy holds a Bible aloft. The message is clear: the Irish nation kneels facing the Catholic Church in docile piety and devotion. The synthesis between loyalty to the State and loyalty to the Catholic Church are viewed as interchangeable in Lavery’s painting.

  • 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.

  • Post-Catholic Ireland in Literature and Popular Culture
    P O S T - C A T H O L I C I R E L A N D I N L I T E R A T U R E A N D POPULAR CULTURE Lisa McGonigle A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand April 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis proposes the concept of turn-of-the-millennium Irish culture as “post-Catholic”. It outlines how the Catholic Church had occupied so powerful a position in the post- independent Irish State, but recent decades have seen such profound changes in the moral and political authority ceded to the Church. This thesis therefore argues that the dissolution of the Church’s hegemony constitutes a paradigm sociopolitical and cultural shift, which it defines as the move from a Catholic to post-Catholic society. It also argues that this shift has been both reflected in and effected by literature and popular culture, focusing in particular on issues of gender and sexuality in selected cultural texts. Chapter One examines how Marian Keyes uses the chick-lit novel to write back against conservative Catholicism and the maternalisation of Irish women, supplanting the “Irish Catholic Mammy” with a younger, sexually active generation of Irish women who do not define their subjectivity in terms of their maternal duties. It argues that Keyes’ hostility towards the Catholic Church affects, indeed directs, the sexual politics and frankness of her work and her treatment of topics such as abortion and divorce. Chapter Two investigates how popular novelist Maeve Binchy explores female sexuality and desire in opposition to a traditional Catholic discourse of sin and virtue.

Historically, for all Htheir concern with the sacred and divine, religious groups have also been adept players at secular and pragmatic politics: legitimating monarchs, shaping public morality, exerting control over education and the welfare state, or simply securing a favorable legal status. Yet in the predominantly Christian democracies of the modern era, churches find themselves far more constrained and unable to act alone.1 eL- egal fir walls stymie even those powerful churches whose pews are filled with loyal adherents: clerics no longer stand for office, and church delegates rarely sit in legislatures, governments, or administrative bodies. Despite these constraints, however, religious influence on policy has been extensive. Religious groups, and specifically Christian churches, have successfully spearheaded efforts to ban abortion, offer religious education in schools, limit access to contraceptives, obtain favorable financial exemptions, and constrain stem cell research, to take just a few recent European examples. Curiously, however, this influence varies across countries that are similar in their profiles of religious denomina- tional affiliation, religious participation, and general belief.E ven more surprisingly, this influence occurs despite extensive popular opposi- tion to church involvement in secular policy-making.

  • Doyle Bibliography
    CLERGY SEXUAL ABUSE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SELECTED SOURCES RELATED TO CLERGY SEXUAL ABUSE, ECCLESIASTICAL POLITICS, THEOLOGY AND CHURCH HISTORY Thomas Patrick Doyle Revised June 20, 2021 1 PREFACE This bibliography started off as a 5-page table of references for a report I was asked to prepare for an attorney. The subject of the report was general prior knowledge of bishops and popes of sexual abuse of children minors by Catholic clergy. Shortly after this report had been circulated among some attorneys, I was asked to prepare variations on it. This entailed expanding the table of resources. My original motivation for the bibliography was for strictly private use: I had been collecting articles, scholarly and otherwise, since the emergence of the sexual abuse issue in 1984. I also began buying books about clergy sexual abuse once they started coming out. The very first book that I am aware of that was written about Catholic clergy sexual abuse was Assault on Innocence, written by Hilary Stiles and published in 1987. Hilary Stiles was the pseudonym used by Jeanne Miller. Jeanne is one of the original courageous pioneers who challenged the Catholic hierarchy (The Archdiocese of Chicago) and founded one of the two original victim support and action groups. Originally known as Vocal the name was later changed to The Linkup. The following year I discovered a second book, Clergy Malpractice, written by the late Robert McMenamin and published in 1988. Robert had been a Church attorney who switched and began representing victims. The bibliography began to grow as I purchased every book I could find related to clergy sexual abuse.

  • Chapter 11 Introduction to Investigation of the 46 Priests
    Chapter 11 Introduction to investigation of the 46 priests Selecting the representative sample 11.1 The Commission received information about complaints, suspicions or knowledge of child sexual abuse in respect of 172 named priests and 11 unnamed priests. (Some or all of the 11 unnamed priests may, of course, be included in the 172 named priests.) After a preliminary examination, the Commission concluded that 102 of these priests were within remit. Of those priests who were not within the Commission‟s terms of reference, two main reasons for their exclusion were identified: the complaint was made outside the time period 1975 – 2004; the priest was not operating under the aegis of the Archdiocese of Dublin at the time of the alleged abuse. The priests in question here were mainly priests belonging to religious orders and societies who were working in Dublin but not on behalf of the Archdiocese. 11.2 The Commission decided that the only realistic way in which it could select and report on a representative sample of those complaints and suspicions was to select a representative sample of the priests concerned. Otherwise, the Commission may have had to investigate every priest within remit. The representative sample was chosen from the group of 102 priests who were within remit. The Commission took the view that it was impractical to make two separate samples for those against whom complaints were made and those about whom there were suspicions or concerns. Almost invariably, there were suspicions or concerns expressed about those against whom complaints were made. There was a very small number of priests about whom suspicions or concerns were expressed but about whom no actual complaints were made.
