Course Syllabus for HT 507 Catholicism in U.S. History I NOTRE DAME SEMINARY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY Course Syllabus for HT 507 Catholicism in U.S. History Instructor: Rev. Mark S. Raphael, Ph.D. Semester: Fall 2014 Email: [email protected] Time: Tu., Th., Fri. 1:30 to 4 pm Office Hours: By appointment Place: Classroom 5 Phone: 866‐7426 I. Course Description The course covers the particular development of the Catholic Church in what is today the United States, from the European colonization through the Second Vatican Council. The purpose of the course is to trace the origins of the separate traditions of colonial Catholicism and study how they subsequently developed. Particular attention is given to the external influences which prompted internal changes in American Catholicism such as: the creation of the constitutional secular republic, the waves of Catholic immigrants who relocated to the United States beginning in the early nineteenth century, the recurring episodes of anti-Catholicism which caused American Catholicism to become hyper-patriotic, the post-World War II social and moral engagement with larger historical trends such as gender/civil rights, economic movements, government policy, and bioethics. The course will end in the post-Vatican II period, with a reflection on the current state of the Church in light of its history. II. Course Rationale The religious history of the United States presents particular problems of interpretation owing to its disparate origins. In the colonial period the territory that would become the United States was under the political sovereignty of two rival Catholic European powers, Spain and France, as well as an enemy Protestant power, England. When the thirteen English colonies gained their political sovereignty, they organized themselves under a Constitution that was heavily influenced by Enlightenment Rationalism, yet remaining in tension with strong Protestant influences of Calvinism and Anglicanism. It was this compromise Constitutionalism of official state secularism that was imposed on the former colonial territory of France and Spain to create the United States of America. Coming to terms with the implications of these origins is essential in understanding the impact of slavery and of Catholic immigration that occurred in the Modern Period, up to this day. III. Course Goals/Intended Outcomes Envisioned Outcomes: Seminarians will be familiar with important texts in American Catholic History. They will be able to outline the major developments in Catholic history and theology in the United States. Finally, they will be able to explain the various contemporary situations in the American Catholic experience, making specific reference to its historical and theological milieu. IV.

Professional Vocabulary Acculturation is the process of learning norms of other cultures in order to facilitate interaction: e.g. obeying laws, paying taxes, language acquisition, trade practices, etc… thereby attaining advantageous differential access to power and resources. Americanism: Name given to an erroneous ecclesiology condemned by Pope Leo XIII in 1899 for asserting that the American system of quarantining religion from public life, by means of a constitutional separation of church and state, was an ideal that should be pursued by the entire Catholic world. Note: Pope Leo did NOT condemn the United States, nor did he forbid Catholics from participating in civic life of the nation. He merely clarified that the church could not propose as an ideal that it should be restricted from access to public civic life. Patriotism and legitimate love of one’s country ARE entirely acceptable, even if a Catholic must abhor certain laws and policies of their country. See the Catechism of the Catholic Church for correct teaching on “Participation in Social Life,” and “The Common Good,” and “Responsibility and Participation,” in numbers 1897 through 1927. Caesaropapism: An erroneous ecclesiology constructed on the assertion that the supreme secular authority should also have ultimate control of the church in his/her land; the most complete implementation is to be found in Anglicanism, in which the English monarch is the head of the church. Conciliarism: An erroneous ecclesiology designed to undermine the Petrine Office by asserting that the fullness of ecclesial authority, both jurisdictional and magisterial, resided in a Church Council, which could function apart from the Pope and even depose a Pope. This movement was condemned as heretical by Pope Pius II in 1460, and again by the First Vatican Council (1869‐70). The current Code of Canon Law stipulates that appeal against an act of the Roman Pontiff to a Council is punishable by censure (CIC, 1983, canon 1372). Council (Ecumenical): A gathering of bishops summoned by the Pope, which pronounces on matters of faith and morals at the magisterial level; Conciliar pronouncements become universally binding on the faithful after the decrees have been approved and promulgated by the Pope. So far, there have been twenty‐one such legitimate Councils, from Nicaea I (325 A.D.), to Vatican II (1962‐1965). See Canons 336 through 334 (CIC, 1983), and numbers 883 and 883 (CCC, 2nd ed., 1997). Council (diocesan or provincial): Meeting of church leaders convoked by legitimate authority empowered to deliberate and enact decrees that are binding on the faithful with the force of particular law. Such councils are subordinate in authority to an Ecumenical Council as well as to the Pope when exercising his Petrine Office. See Canons 439 through 459 (CIC, 1983). Culture: [Latin colere, “to till, care for, attend to, cultivate;” cult, “care, attention to a diety.” Definition: An interwoven and interdependent pattern of knowledge, beliefs, and norms of behavior facilitating the organic process by means of which an individual becomes self‐aware and comes to an understanding of the world.

  • The Rule of Ten Virtues of the B.V.M.” Historical Brief
    The Genesis of “The Rule of Ten Virtues of the B.V.M.” Historical Brief Br. Andrew R. Mączyński, MIC Author The Rule of the Ten Virtues of the Most B.V.M., or the Rule of the Ten Pleasures of the Most B.V.M. (Regula Decem Beneplacitorum Beatissimae Virginis Mariae), is one of the few religious rules approved in spite of the decree issued by the IV Lateran Council in 1215. This decree forbade the approval of the newly founded religious orders on any other than one of the previously approved rules. The Rule was composed by a Franciscan, Fr. Gilbert Nicolas, better known as Gabriel Maria, the name he received from Pope Leo X by his brief (breve) of June 11, 1517. By this act, the Pope wished to emphasize the special devotion that Fr. Gilbert had for the mystery of the Annunciation of the B.V.M. Gilbert Nicolas, who also appears in history under the name of Johanes Molezius, was born around 1460 in Riom in the Province of Auvergne, France. Influenced as a 16-year old youth by a sermon by a certain Franciscan preacher on the topic of the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M., he discerned his vocation to the religious life. In 1475, in Lafond, near La Rochelle, he joined the Franciscans of the Strict Observance. After completing his novitiate and pronouncing his religious vows, he was sent to the monastery in Amboise in order to continue his education that concluded at his priestly ordination and taking the post of a lector of theology.

  • Pius Ix and the Change in Papal Authority in the Nineteenth Century
    ABSTRACT ONE MAN’S STRUGGLE: PIUS IX AND THE CHANGE IN PAPAL AUTHORITY IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Andrew Paul Dinovo This thesis examines papal authority in the nineteenth century in three sections. The first examines papal issues within the world at large, specifically those that focus on the role of the Church within the political state. The second section concentrates on the authority of Pius IX on the Italian peninsula in the mid-nineteenth century. The third and final section of the thesis focuses on the inevitable loss of the Papal States within the context of the Vatican Council of 1869-1870. Select papal encyclicals from 1859 to 1871 and the official documents of the Vatican Council of 1869-1870 are examined in light of their relevance to the change in the nature of papal authority. Supplementing these changes is a variety of seminal secondary sources from noted papal scholars. Ultimately, this thesis reveals that this change in papal authority became a point of contention within the Church in the twentieth century.

  • Steven Speray Responds to Robert Siscoe and the Remnant
    Steven Speray responds to Robert Siscoe and The Remnant I sent my rebuttal to The Remnant, but they haven’t returned my two emails in over a week. Therefore, I’m publishing it now to prove the veracity of sedevacantism and the errors of those “traditionalists” who are in union with modernist Rome. Robert Siscoe’s critique begins by deriding my person for things like creating a pseudonym, which he also did on my blog to defend himself and a novus ordo priest. My alias was created for secular media which I deleted once my identity was revealed. Siscoe made a big deal out of the issue to bolster his position, a tactic needed when losing a debate. Siscoe deleted his fake name so as not to look like a hypocrite. It’s not important anyway. The issues are what are important. While Siscoe publishes articles against sedevacantism and is preparing a book on the subject - not to mention the hundreds of comments he’s amassed on my blog and other sede’s websites where he refuses to answer the questions - he accuses me of being obsessed. In 2012, Siscoe teamed up with Rev. Shannon Collins in a CD scoffing at sedevacantism. They spent enormous time on the necessity of warnings to establish manifest heresy, never once quoting reputable authorities who say otherwise, such as De Lugo and Tanquerey. [1] Additionally, Shannon and Siscoe never mention Pope Paul’s bull Cum Ex Apostolatus because it destroys their arguments. They make reference to Cardinal Manning’s 1861 teaching about the prophecy that Rome will lose the faith and drive away the pope, but they omit the full context: “Rome shall apostatize from the faith,.

  • 127-San Pietro in Vaticano.Pages
    Saint Peter’s Basilica Vatican City The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri), officially known in Italian as the Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano and commonly known as Saint Peter's Basilica, is located within the Vatican City. Saint Peter's Basilica has the largest interior of any Christian church in the world, holding 60,000 people. It is the symbolic "Mother church" of the Catholic Church and is regarded as one of the holiest Christian sites. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world" and as "the greatest of all churches of Christendom". In Catholic tradition, it is the burial site of its namesake Saint Peter, who was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and, according to tradition, first Bishop of Rome and therefore first in the line of the papal succession. Tradition and some historical evidence hold that Saint Peter's tomb is directly below the altar of the basilica. For this reason, many Popes have been interred at St Peter's since the Early Christian period. There has been a church on this site since the 4th century. Construction of the present basilica, over the old Constantinian basilica, began on April 18, 1506 and was completed on November 18, 1626. Saint Peter's is famous as a place of pilgrimage, for its liturgical functions and for its historical associations. It is associated with the papacy, with the Counter-reformation and with numerous artists, most significantly Michelangelo. As a work of architecture, it is regarded as the greatest building of its age.
