  • And the Transformation of the Catholic Church in Philadelphia, 1789-1850
    Displaced "Pan-Americans" and the Transformation of the Catholic Church in Philadelphia, 1789-1850 HE REVEREND JOHN HUGHES TOLD A GREAT STORY about the construction of the Roman Catholic church of St. John the Evangelist in Philadelphia. Hughes, the project's major fundraiser, St. John's first pastor, and later archbishop of New York, related that his announcement in 1830 of the plan to build a grand new cornerstone of Catholic life garnered only a lukewarm response from his congregation. Days went by before he received his first donation, from a humble ser- vant, who delivered to the priest a few precious cents from her meager wages. From that moment on, Hughes "never had a doubt of the success" of the building project.1 This lovely anecdote, redolent of New Testament teachings, burnishes one of the principal and lasting images of the Catholic Church in the United States, but it obscures crucial aspects of St. John's construction and the Catholic Church's broader institutional development. From the 1780s to the mid-nineteenth century, a small group of "Pan-Americans," men and women with extensive ties to Latin America and the Caribbean, played a determinative role in the church's transformation in Philadelphia and, as a result, the nation as a whole. Some, their lives thrown into disarray by internecine warfare and eco- nomic upheaval, came to Philadelphia for short periods of time, while others made a permanent home in the city. Here, they met residents with an existing network of economic, political, and cultural ties to the region. This group became embroiled in an intense confrontation over the future of American Catholicism.

    THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF NORTH AMERICAN THEOLOGY: THE U.S. STORY This Land is Your Land This Land is My Land From California to the New York Islands From the Redwood Forests to the Gulf Stream Waters This Land was Made for You and Me.' While I was thinking about tonight's address, my friend Michael True sug- gested that a talk to theologians on "the U.S. story" sounded like an excellent opportunity to launch the long-stalled campaign to canonize Woodie Guthrie and replace "The Star Spangled Banner" with "This Land is Your Land." Reluc- tantly, I will forego the temptation and simply let the verse stand as the text for tonight's reflections. If, in the words of another troubadour of the American civil religion (though one less suitable for canonization) Norman Mailer, our Church is now "full of mutations and staggering across deserts of faith," it may be due less to our departure from God than to the absence of meaning in our experience as Americans who happen to be Catholics.2 In the torrent of articles which preceded the recent extraordinary synod, few writers noticed the change in our sense of ourselves as Americans. John Kennedy, John XXIII, the council, all made many of my generation feel that, at last, this land was our land. We were "a new generation, American and Catholic." The action in those days was in the suburbs, in Newman clubs and on Catholic cam- puses, among "the emerging laity," wherever the Catholic middle class gath- ered. We were going to build an open church modeled on the open society.

  • HT504 HISTORY of CHRISTIANITY II Summer Semester 2010 Reformed Theological Seminary Orlando, FL Dr
    HT504 HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY II Summer Semester 2010 Reformed Theological Seminary Orlando, FL Dr. W. Andrew Hoffecker The purpose of the course is to study Christian church history from the Protestant Reformation to the present. The course will be multifaceted and will include: the development of Christian theology such as the theologies of Luther, Calvin, Schleiermacher, and Barth; the institutional church; various views of the religious life including pietism and Puritanism; and prominent movements (e.g., Protestant scholasticism, modern liberalism and Neo Orthodoxy) and individuals who inspired them. Our aim, therefore, is not to limit our study to “church history” alone, but always as it is related to other fields in the history of Christian thought and the larger culture. By surveying diverse but related subjects, students will gain an overall historical perspective of the Church – its theology, institutions, and leaders during the last five centuries. Throughout our study the advantages of an integrated perspective will be stressed. The major benefits of this approach will be an increased appreciation of God's providential work throughout its history and insights into important issues of our own era. A principal interest will be to understand how people and ideas influenced the church of the past, and how they still affect contemporary events. COURSE REQUIREMENTS 1. TEXTS: The following texts are required for the course: Justo Gonzalez, The Story of Christianity: Vol 2 The Reformation to the Present Day; Hugh T. Kerr, Readings in Christian Thought. Students will read Gonzalez in its entirety; Kerr, pages 136-403. Students will also complete additional pages of reading which will be reported on the day of the final exam on the “READING REPORT FOR HT504” attached to this syllabus.

  • Passing on Our Faith
    Passing on our Faith The Catholic Review Last week, I had the privilege and honor of preaching the homily at the Mass to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Parish of the Most Holy Trinity in Augusta, Georgia. Though I had ties to the community dating back to the 1970s, I was asked to preach at this momentous occasion because of my succession to Archbishop John Carroll. It was Archbishop Carroll who, two centuries ago, founded the parish. Though in Georgia, the parish was under his jurisdiction as Archbishop of the Premier See–in 1810, the Archdiocese of Baltimore stretched from Maryland to the Florida Panhandle and west to the Mississippi River. It’s easy for us to forget the instrumental role the Church in Baltimore has played in the spread of the Catholic Church in the United States. And though the growth of the U.S. population seemed to occur quickly and with ease, the spread of Catholicism proved much more difficult for my predecessors. In my homily in Augusta, I recounted for those present one of the many challenges facing Archbishop Carroll as he oversaw the propagation of the faith 200 years ago in that area of the Archdiocese. Archbishop Carroll’s eminent biographer, Dr. Annabelle Melville wrote: “One area John Carroll had never succeeded in pacifying was the region of the South. The issues of Trusteeism and independent churches reared their ugly heads in Norfolk, Virginia, in Charleston, South Carolina and in Augusta, Georgia.” Even the clergy he appointed to help chart the course for Catholicism presented a challenge.

  • Bishop John England of Charleston 1820-1842
    BISHOP JOHN ENGLAND OF CHARLESTON 1820-1842 THE IRISH BACKGROUND TO HIS MINISTRY IN SOUTH CAROLINA CORK CITY IRELAND, BIRTHPLACE OF BISHOP JOHN ENGLAND Prepared for Bishop Gugliemone for Diocesan 200th anniversary Dr Cormac O’Duffy PhD (University of Limerick) It would not be unreasonable to suggest that Bishop John England (September 23 1786- April 11 1842) was the foremost ecclesiastic in the Catholic Church in the US during his time in office: in a new country, experimenting with new forms of democracy and government, which was decidedly protestant and largely anti-Catholic in nature, he could be labelled as the foremost apologist for the Catholic faith. In doing this singular service to the Church of his youth, his baptism and ordination, he was however also very much an early exponent of ecumenism. Everywhere he travelled in these southern states he was asked to address congregations and educational groups of all backgrounds and denominations. His love for fellow Christians and for explaining the delicacies of Catholic faith and doctrine, long before the Catholic Church’s espoused dialog between different Christian confessions at Vatican 2, meant that all the church bells in Charleston were rung together on the day of his funeral in 1842. All denominations, including the Jewish community attended his funeral and lamented his passing and recognized his genius and integrity. Amongst various achievements, he was a founder of the first Catholic newspaper in America, the founder of a community of religious sisters which has survived to the 1 present day, the first Catholic prelate to address Congress in the presence of the President, and the promoter of a Synodal system for the US church which enabled it to speak in unity as an American Catholic voice in the new nation.
