This article argues that the divide between the two churches on these issues is much wider than generally thought. I start by sketching two conditions under which Mormon and Catholic realms oper- ate, namely, in the defining of doctrine and policy, and in leader- ship approach. It is a rough and short rendering of some char- acteristics and I acknowledge its incompleteness, but it helps ex- plain the background for the divide. Next I compare respective positions on human life ethics. These pertain to the relation be- tween sex and procreation, and to abortion, embryonic stem cell research, and euthanasia. In all of this, I consider only the official institutional positions, not the way individual Catholics and Mor- mons interpret and live these positions. The comparison shows that, on these issues, present-day Mormonism is more careful and compassionate than Catholicism, and more trusting of individual conscience. The Mormon approach, however, provides grounds for Catholics to denounce the Mormon Church as unreliable and even pernicious. These considerations lead to ref lections on the 1 2 DIALOGUE: AJOURNAL OF MORMON THOUGHT, 46, no. 3 (Fall 2013) implications for same-sex marriage. I analyze a number of factors that could ease the way for the Mormon Church to withdraw its opposition to same-sex marriage, at least as it concerns civil soci- ety, while the Catholic Church is unlikely to budge. At the same time I realize the transience of some of my comments on such a current and constantly evolving topic. Differences in Defining Doctrine and Policy The Catholic and Mormon processes that define doctrine and major policies are broadly different. Catholic dogmas, viewed as transmitted from the scriptures or by tradition, are by definition immutable. Though their historical genesis is complex,2 the pres- ent perception of the sanctity of their origin, as well as their expo- sition over many centuries, in approved “magisterial documents” such as theological treatises, conciliar decrees, pastoral letters, papal declarations, or encyclicals, make any later nuancing of these doctrines, let alone change, nearly impossible. Modifica- tions usually require the approval of large councils, rarely held, which often also necessitate the agreement of churches and ordi- naries in communion with the Apostolic See of Rome. The last council, Vatican II, now already half a century ago, took three years (1962–65).3 The process also requires long editing by the various participants to come to the final texts. After Vatican II, it took twenty years to issue the revised code of Roman Catholic Canon Law. Such intricate and protracted procedures, unlikely to be soon repeated, add to stagnation. Thus, the Catholic leader- ship derives its ethical viewpoints from what it claims to be unal- terable religious premises and defends them with remarkable drive and detail, using its political power openly and vigorously

Soon after the death of Gov. Silas H. Jenison, who had before been appointed to that service, the author of the followinof work was requested by the Committee of the Middlebury Historical So- ciety to write a history of the town of Shoreham. He soon becan to make mquiries and to collect materials to form into a history • but it was not until all those persons who first settled in this town were dead, with the exception of a single individual, that he en- tered upon the duties assigned him. The difficulties attending the prosecution of such an undertaking, under such circumstances, may easily be conceived, but these were aggravated by the absence of all records dating back beyond the year 1783. His only resource therefore, was to consult the only living man who had been here be- fore the Revolution, and a few of the older inhabitants who came soon after. It was a happy circumstance that Major Noah Callender had not then passed away, whose memory, though he was then more than eighty years old. remained unimpaired. The author held fre- quent conversations with him, and noted down whatever he deemed important for the prosecution of his work, and it is with pleasure he is able to state that on no important point has he found Major Callender's statements to be erroneous, after having been subjected to the severest tests.

  • Life Under the Jolly Roger: Reflections on Golden Age Piracy
    praise for life under the jolly roger In the golden age of piracy thousands plied the seas in egalitarian and com- munal alternatives to the piratical age of gold. The last gasps of the hundreds who were hanged and the blood-curdling cries of the thousands traded as slaves inflated the speculative financial bubbles of empire putting an end to these Robin Hood’s of the deep seas. In addition to history Gabriel Kuhn’s radical piratology brings philosophy, ethnography, and cultural studies to the stark question of the time: which were the criminals—bankers and brokers or sailors and slaves? By so doing he supplies us with another case where the history isn’t dead, it’s not even past! Onwards to health-care by eye-patch, peg-leg, and hook! Peter Linebaugh, author of The London Hanged, co-author of The Many-Headed Hydra This vital book provides a crucial and hardheaded look at the history and mythology of pirates, neither the demonization of pirates as bloodthirsty thieves, nor their romanticization as radical communitarians, but rather a radical revisioning of who they were, and most importantly, what their stories mean for radical movements today. Derrick Jensen, author of A Language Older Than Words and Endgame Stripping the veneers of reactionary denigration and revolutionary romanti- cism alike from the realities of “golden age” piracy, Gabriel Kuhn reveals the sociopolitical potentials bound up in the pirates’ legacy better than anyone who has dealt with the topic to date. Life Under the Jolly Roger is important reading for anyone already fascinated by the phenomena of pirates and piracy.

  • Pirate Articles and Their Society, 1660-1730
    ‘Piratical Schemes and Contracts’: Pirate Articles and their Society, 1660-1730 Submitted by Edward Theophilus Fox to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History In May 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract During the so-called ‘golden age’ of piracy that occurred in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in the later seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, several thousands of men and a handful of women sailed aboard pirate ships. The narrative, operational techniques, and economic repercussions of the waves of piracy that threatened maritime trade during the ‘golden age’ have fascinated researchers, and so too has the social history of the people involved. Traditionally, the historiography of the social history of pirates has portrayed them as democratic and highly egalitarian bandits, divided their spoil fairly amongst their number, offered compensation for comrades injured in battle, and appointed their own officers by popular vote. They have been presented in contrast to the legitimate societies of Europe and America, and as revolutionaries, eschewing the unfair and harsh practices prevalent in legitimate maritime employment. This study, however, argues that the ‘revolutionary’ model of ‘golden age’ pirates is not an accurate reflection of reality.

  • Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, Vol. 2
    ^7<y,/ kSLct f>1>ï /933 To the binder: these 2 leaves, pp.vil-x are throw-outs in the final binding: GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY of MAINE and NEW HAMPSHIRE PART II THE SOUTHWORTH PRESS PORTLAND, MAINE 1933 PREFACE TO PART II Although over four years have passed, the promise made in the Preface to Part I, that before Part II should go to press, all of my materials would have been thoroughly worked over for the whole book, is ixnkept. Not only have my minutes from so many years among the records not been fidly uti­ lized, but people who have studied certain families will often find that au­ thentic matter in print has escaped notice. Genealogists trained to library work will turn to many such omissions. Yet I do, to console myself, hold to the belief that James Savage himself, had he -in our day- thought of writing his Genealogical Dictionary, would have abandoned it almost before start­ ing. As it was, he exhausted every printed book from cover to cover (often led into errors thereby). Today such books have multiplied more than a hundred fold. In the interim between Parts I and II, books have gotten into print which fill me with dismay, and worse— books -flung- into print, reckless of errors; and some of these by a genealogist of high reputation. Is there not now enough of such material on the library shelves without increasing it 1 More to the point, shall I add to it? Personally I have reached a conviction that we have arrived at a stage where the desideratum is not the multiplication of genealogical books, nor even the extension of research, but the rescuing of genealogy itself from being brought into public contempt by reckless graspers after high ancestry and their exploiters.

  • Joseph Smith, Captain Kidd Lore, and Treasure-Seeking in New York and New England During the Early Republic
    Joseph Smith, Captain Kidd Lore, and Treasure-Seeking in New York and New England during the Early Republic Noel A. Carmack In his 2003 Dialogue article, Ronald V. Huggins discussed the pos- sibility that Joseph Smith’s ostensible encounter with the angel Moroni was the invocation of a long-held folk tradition of treasure guardians in a milieu of treasure seeking and folk magic in the northeast.1 Huggins concluded that “Smith must have learned of the [treasure-guardian] motif while helping his father dig for Kidd’s treasure and while studying Kidd’s life and lore as a boy.”2 Some Latter-day Saint scholars, however, maintain that the figure Moroni was a visiting angel, as has been represented in official LDS accounts.3 Whether or not Moroni was an angel or treasure guardian may be important in determining the derivation of Joseph Smith’s Book of Mormon character and otherworldly messenger, but perhaps more provocative is whether Smith’s two-decades- long encounter with the treasure-seeking worldview had any in- f luence on his role as translator. What did Joseph Smith know about Captain William “Robert” Kidd and other pirates operat- ing in the East Indian Ocean? How would he have obtained such information? This article examines the transmission of tales and published accounts of Captain Kidd (some of which may have been accessible to Joseph Smith) and the possibility that he appro- priated place names that appear in the Book of Mormon and pre-1830 maps, atlases, and geographical texts. Does the Book of 78 Carmack: Joseph Smith, Captain Kidd Lore, and Treasure-Seeking 79 Mormon contain language that might ref lect Smith’s youthful preoccupation with Captain Kidd and his hidden treasure? Scholars have well established that the prevalent use of folk magic and divining practices in New York and the New England states for the search of buried treasure was motivated by Captain Kidd’s legend and other pirate lore.
