  • Draft 5 for Printing
    Jan Milí č of Kroměř íž and Emperor Charles IV: Preaching, Power, and the Church of Prague Eleanor Janega UCL Thesis Submitted for the degree of PhD in History 1 I, Eleanor Janega, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in my thesis. 2 Abstract During the second half of the fourteenth century Jan Milí č of Krom ěř íž became an active and popular preacher in Prague. The sermons which he delivered focused primarily on themes of reform, and called for a renewal within the church. Despite a sustained popularity with the lay populace of Prague, Milí č faced opposition to his practice from many individual members of the city’s clergy. Eventually he was the subject of twelve articles of accusation sent to the papal court of Avignon. Because of the hostility which Milí č faced, historians have most often written of him as a precursor to the Hussites. As a result he has been identified as an anti-establishment rabble-rouser and it has been assumed that he conducted his career in opposition to the court of the Emperor Charles IV. This thesis, over four body chapters, examines the careers of both Milí č and Charles and argues that instead of being enemies, the two men shared an amicable relationship. The first chapter examines Milí č’s career and will prove that he was well-connected to Charles and several members of his court. It will also examine the most common reasons given to argue that Charles and Milí č were at odds, and disprove them.

  • St. Thomas University Establishes Living-Wage Policy for Employees
    St. Thomas University establishes living-wage policy for employees MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – After 13 years on the housekeeping staff at St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens, Livia Herrera saw her wages rise by almost $3 an hour in July. So did more than a dozen of her co-workers, whose hourly pay increased to a minimum of $10.27 per hour. The July 1 increase is due to a living-wage policy adopted by the university. The hourly rate is in addition to health benefits, which the university will continue to cover at 80 percent. “The difference is big,” said Herrera’s supervisor, Eduardo Torres, who also will benefit from the new policy. “It’s going to help us a lot, thank God,” said co-worker Norma Darias. According to Anthony Vinciguerra, director of the university’s Center for Justice and Peace, St. Thomas, sponsored by the Archdiocese of Miami, is one of only two Catholic universities in the nation to implement a living-wage policy. Jesuit-run Georgetown University in Washington is the other. The new policy directly affects about 20 housekeeping and grounds maintenance employees. But Monsignor Franklyn Casale, president of St. Thomas, said the school will keep the living wage in mind when it negotiates with subcontractors. “It is our hope that this pay increase will not only benefit our employees but also create a precedent throughout the region,” Monsignor Casale said. “I believe that the greatest resource of any institution is its human resource, in other words, its people. Treating people fairly and justly is part of our Catholic tradition.
