The construction of Loyola High School began on Calvert Street in early 1852 and on September 15, the doors opened. In 1941, the school relocated to Blakefield in Towson, Maryland. Between 1981-1988, a Middle School was gradually introduced and Loyola officially became known as Loyola Blakefield. Loyola typically enrolls 1000 students, with 750 students in grades 9-12.

Professor James O’Toole, Advisor In the 1960s American Jesuit secondary school administrators struggled to resolve a profound tension within their institutions. The religious order’s traditional educational aim dating back to the 1500s emphasized influence through contact with “important and public persons” in order that the Jesuits might in turn help direct cultures around the world to a more universal good. This historical foundation clashed sharply with what was emerging as the Jesuits’ new emphasis on a preferential option for the poor. This dissertation argues that the greater cultural and religious changes of the 1960s posed a fundamental challenge to Catholic elite education in the United States. The competing visions of the Jesuits produced a crisis of identity, causing some Jesuit high schools either to collapse or reinvent themselves in the debate over whether Jesuit schools were for richer or for poorer Americans.
  • The Denial of Holy Communion Due to Obstinate Perseverance in Manifest Grave Sin

    The Denial of Holy Communion Due to Obstinate Perseverance in Manifest Grave Sin

    THE DENIAL OF HOLY COMMUNION DUE TO OBSTINATE PERSEVERANCE IN MANIFEST GRAVE SIN : THE APPLICATION OF C. 915 IN THE AMERICAN CONTEXT by Laura MORRISON A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Canon Law Saint Paul University, Ottawa, Canada, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Canon Law Saint Paul University © Laura Morrison, Ottawa, Canada 2015 ABSTRACT The pastoral interpretation and application of the clause of c. 915 which says those who are obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communions, as applied to persons in irregular marriages and politicians that espouse “pro- choice” platforms, is the focus of this study. A tremendous amount of confusion and alienation on the part of the faithful occurs in relation to the application of the pertinent clause in parishes and dioceses throughout the United States, due to the words used in the norm and an inconsistent application of them. The approaches within the Church are disparate. Some are told by their pastors that they simply must face the consequences of the choices they have made and not present themselves for Communion until their situation is corrected. Others are never approached about the issue. Few, though, are provided with an explanation of the law and an opportunity to discuss their personal circumstances in relation to it, in any meaningful way; that is, with an opportunity to make informed decisions about how to proceed in their lives. Most people to whom the law of c. 915 is applicable were not sufficiently catechized to know they could be denied Holy Communion if they divorced and civilly remarried or ran on a particular political party platform.
