It is an ancient paradox and the present words of thanks are no exception in this regard. I have been granted the oppor- tunity in the last number of years to explore, and in some instances virtually ‘bury’ myself in what some might be inclined to describe as ‘old paper’ and others as ‘historical sources’. Th e result is the present study . yet more paper. But if historians should be capable of any- thing, they should be capable of seeing the reality that lies behind the piles of paper, human beings in all their variety. Th e same capability is also required of the readers of this book, which would never have been written had it not been for the help of a multitude of individuals. While it would be impossible to mention all of them by name, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to some in particular. In the fi rst instance, I would like to thank my colleagues in the research department History of Church and Th eology at the Faculty of Th eology of the Catholic University of Leuven. Th eir frequently earnest observations and insights were rarely off ered without a smile. Special thanks are due to Anthony Dupont, Wim François, Jürgen Mettepenningen and Johan Leemans in this regard. My research of the last years also facilitated contact with many international scholars, among them Gilles Routhier, Joseph A. Komonchak, Riccardo Burigana and Jared Wicks. Th ey share my sin- cere gratitude together with the late Giuseppe Alberigo for the warmth of his hospitality at the Istituto per le scienze religiose. Th e contribution of the men and women charged with preserving these mountains of paper—the archivists—remains, of course, incalculable. Particular gratitude is due to Mrs Miqol Tancini of the Istituto per le scienze religiose, Mrs Lydia Salviucci, archives of the Gregorian Uni- versity, Rome, Sister Marguerite Smith of the Archdiocesan Archives of New York, and Monsignor Sergio Pagano, head of the Archivio Seg- reto Vaticano. Likewise, Joseph Famerée, director of the Centre Lumen Gentium and Gerrit Vandenbosch of the Archdiocesan Archives in Mechelen deserve a special word of thanks. Th anks are also due to Mrs Karim Schelkens - 978-90-04-18365-0 Downloaded from Brill.com05/16/2020 02:00:23PM via Universiteit van Tilburg viii acknowledgements Caroline Honnoré of the Diocesan Archives of Tournay and Canon Daniel Meynen of the Diocesan Archives of Namur.

Life and Learning, Vol. XII (2002): 265-286. Publisher Link. © 2002 University Faculty for Life, Inc. Used with permission. Spiritual Responses to the Regulation of Birth (A Historical Comparison) Richard J. Fehring, D.N.Sc, R.N. Elizabeth McGraw, B.A., R.N. ABSTRACT Over 30 years ago the founders of the Christian Family Movement (CFM), a worldwide Catholic family action group, conducted a survey to investigate the marital effects of practicing “rhythm.” Their final report indicated that many participants felt that periodic abstinence was harmful to their marriage and caused spiritual and religious distress. The CFM survey results were thought to have been influential in convincing the 1966 Papal Birth Control Commission to recommend a change in church teaching. The purpose of this paper is to report a re-analysis of the 1966 archived data (in the light of the Papal Encyclical Humane Vitae–On the Regulation of Birth) and to compare that study with responses from married couples using modern methods of NFP, i.e., methods that purport to be more effective and to have fewer days of periodic abstinence. This paper will provide an examination of the original study within its historical context and report on the responses relating to spirituality from the 1966 couples in comparison with couples currently practicing periodic abstinence through the Billings Ovulation Method.

Nel 1939 scriveva: “In che cosa la mia vita si caratterizza per quella di un’anima consacrata al Signore, più precisamente consacrata a Cristo Re, nel mondo? Per il fatto che scrivo così dei libri?

Powell, Associate Professor of Political Science, Leadership Studies Sol Goldman, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Political Science Copyright 2014 Katherine M. Campbell Abstract: Scholars have debated Pope Pius XII’s role in the Holocaust since the 1960s. Did he do everything he could and should have done to save Jews? His critics say no because of antisemitism rooted in the traditional Catholic views. His defenders say yes and deny that he was an antisemite. In my thesis, I shall assess the arguments on both sides in terms of the available evidence. I shall focus both on what Pius XII did do and what he did not do and on the degree to which he can be held responsible for the actions of low-level clergy.

  • The International Union of Social Studies of Malines and the Catholic Cultural Turn Drafting a Moral Code at the End of the Constantinian Era
    Church History Church History and and Religious Culture 99 (2019) 504–523 Religious Culture brill.com/chrc The International Union of Social Studies of Malines and the Catholic Cultural Turn Drafting a Moral Code at the End of the Constantinian Era Dries Bosschaert KU Leuven [email protected] Abstract The present article argues that the unexpected end of the Union de Malines’ Code de morale culturelle, an international collaboration of prominent twentieth-century Catholic moral theologians, should be attributed to three shifts in Catholic Social Teaching, only the first two of which the Union de Malines managed to undergo: from scholastic hegemony to theological diversity, from social doctrine to personalism, and from a juridical style of writing to a humanistic one. Particularly this last shift, intro- duced by the Second Vatican Council, proved to be a too big a leap for the Union, understood as a ‘little social tradition,’ to take. The cultural turn, which the Union de Malines had in fact anticipated, proved by the end of the council to belong to the future. Keywords Union Internationale d’Etudes Sociales de Malines (Union de Malines) – Catholic Social Teaching – Theology of Culture – Gaudium et spes – Second Vatican Council In 1961, the French Dominican Marie-Dominique Chenu announced in his pro- grammatic La fin de l’ère Constantinienne the renewal of Western Christianity and its transformation into a global church, including the collapse of the clas- sical doctrinal tradition of social Catholicism.1 For a long time this tradition 1 Marie-Dominique Chenu, “La fin de l’ère Constantinienne,” in Un concile pour notre temps, ed.

THE SACRED CONGREGATION FOR SEMINARIES AND UNIVERSITIES NORMS FOR THE CORRECT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTION “VETERUM SAPIENTIA” The sacred Deposit of the Latin Language is a thing which even from the first centuries of the Church’s existence, the Throne of Peter has always guarded as something holy. It considers Latin an overt and beautiful sign of unity, a mighty instrument for safeguarding and spreading Christian Truth in its fullness, and for performing sacred rites. Our most Holy Father and Lord Pope John XXIII has lifted it up from neglect and contempt and firmly asserted its official, confirmed status within the Church. In a solemn ceremony on February 22, he signed with his own hand the Apostolic Constitution “Veterum Sapientia” in the Basilica of St. Peter, laying the foundations and establishing the principles by which this language, which is proper to the Church and forever bound into Her life, shall be restored to its ancient place of glory and honor. No one, least of all this Sacred Congregation, can be unaware what great and arduous effort this most noble and necessary task will require, on account of the unfortunate state of learning and of use of the Latin language today, and because of conditions existing in various places, times, and nations.

  • Jesuit Theology, Politics, and Identity: the Generalate of Acquaviva and the Years of Formation Franco Motta
    chapter seventeen Jesuit Theology, Politics, and Identity: The Generalate of Acquaviva and the Years of Formation Franco Motta The Jesuit Archetype: A Long History What is a Jesuit? A priest; a member of a religious order, or rather of a regular congregation; a priest called to mission. Often, a teacher. Today, the list of defini- tions would more or less stop here. There is nothing specifically “Jesuit” about this description, as it could apply to the members of many other Catholic religious orders. It is one of the many consequences of secularization: in the collective perception, the differences that make up the complexity of the church are lost; the identities of the religious orders fade, and with them, the meaning of schools that at one time were recog- nizable in speech, modes of being, and their presence in the world. Before the mid-twentieth century, things were different. If we step back eighty years, we encounter signs and meanings that are connected to a far more distant past. In January 1932, the Spanish republic disbanded the Society of Jesus within its territories and forfeited its benefits on the grounds that the Jesuits were loyal to a foreign sovereign: the pope. At that time, a Jesuit’s identity was much clearer: an enemy of the state, an agent in service of a great power, an agitator, equipped with great influence over women, aristocrats, and elites; and, above all, a sworn enemy to civil and scientific progress.1 This was more or less the conceptual catalog that was then in use. Naturally, the prime minister of the

Carlino’’, Collegio di Maria di Monreale. Monreale Archivo Storico Collegio di Maria 2 Ringraziamenti Alla fine di questo lungo percorso di lavoro, il mio più sentito grazie va all’Amministrazione della ‘’Fondazione Greco Carlino’’, nella persona del Presidente della precedente Amministrazione, Dott. Antonio Cangelosi, con cui abbiamo con entusiasmo avviato questo interessante progetto, dell’attuale Commissario Dott. Guglielmini e del ragioniere Pietro Caracci, i quali ci hanno sostenute e accompagnate lungo questi mesi, credendo in noi. Un grande ringraziamento va all’Archivio Storico della Diocesi di Monreale ed al suo Direttore Mons. Ferina, sotto la cui paternità abbiamo avviato i lavori. Un particolare ringraziamento va agli archivisti della Diocesi Gianluca Bucceri e soprattutto Anna Manno che ci ha dispensato consigli preziosi e indispensabili, senza la quale guida non avremmo potuto attuare il riordinamento di questo Archivio Storico. Ringrazio inoltre la Dott. M. Romano della Sovrintendenza Archivistica della sicilia- Archivio di Stato di Palermo, la quale ha monitorato con pazienza il nostro lavoro. Ma il mio GRAZIE più grande va a Francesca Vaglica, mia sorella, con cui ho diviso questo lungo e faticoso lavoro, alla pari, senza ruoli o mansioni, la quale ha dato il suo tempo prezioso senza risparmiarsi e nonostante le numerose difficoltà. Abbiamo creduto insieme, allo stesso modo, all’importanza di questa ricostruzione del passato; abbiamo operato attivamente allo stesso modo, lusingate dal privilegio di raccogliere e tramandare ai posteri le voci sopite di un passato dimentico ai più.
