The Scranton Times XJnivcrsitybfSctanton The Literary *^ 1^ II /4 iu •-^ig"* » 'JF, s eniov students of the World, reaching the crest o[ the hill, stand awhile and look back in order to store in memory those several personal images which will serve as reminders of the years spent at Alma Mater. We Seniors, [irst salute the Administration, and then watch fellow Graduates pass by. Formal Occasions are seen in tinted sepia. After glimpses of the various Classes, we review Athletics at the Uniwersity concluding with th run of Activities. These, the substance of our collegiate life, we wish to bind for life, within "THE WINDHOVER" To Christ Our Lord I caught this morning morning's minion, king­ dom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon in his riding Of the rolling level underneath steady air, and striding High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing. As a skate's heel seeps smooth on a bow-ben: the hurl and gliding Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding Stirred for a bird.^the achieve of, the mastery of the thing! Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here Buckle! And the lire that breaks from thee then, a billion Times told lovelier, more dangerous. O my chevalier! No wonder of it: sheer plod makes plough down sillion Shine, and blue black embers, ah my dear. Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermilion. —Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J. RELIGIO The lofty flight of the Windhover, reflecting the mastery of Christ, symbolizes the sublime aspira­ tions which have been nourished in us by the spirit of our education: the search for eternal values by following the Truth and the Life. CULTURA Christ our Lord, the Chevalier, epitomizes the excellence each of us strives to achieve. His is the ideal Manhood that has been held up for us to emulate. Supremely inimitable, yet ever demand­ ing imitation. His "beauty and valor and act" are the glorious exemplar our eyes have been trained to see, our hearts to follow. MORES By meek submission to suffering and death, the Divine Master displayed with faultless magnifi­ cence that supernatural humility without which no man can progress spiritually. Just as the grain of wheat must fall into the ground and die before it can realize its capacities, so too must we lowly "plowmen" accept sorrow and toil in a spirit of humble obedience as we work to cultivate true and noble Christian personalities. -P.P.L. DEDICATION JLn this memorable year of our own lives, We, the Senior Class, are happy to felicitate on the golden anniversary of his ordination. His Holiness, Pius XII.

  • Fair Game Or Foul?
    Volume 9, Number 4 Fellowship of Catholic Scholars Newsletter September 1986 Fair Game or Foul? The appointment by the Holy See of Fellowship members William May of the Catholic University of America and John Finnis of Oxford University to the International Theological Commission is a well deserved recognition of two scholars whose research talents have been well known for years, not less so than their firm and full commitment to the meaning and integrity of the Catholic faith. They are also obedient sons of the Church, who recognize that the final judge of their work-if it touches the truth of the Catholic faith-is magisterium. These virtues-intelligence, industry, faith, fidelity, humility, obedience, prayerfullness, are necessary compo- nents of anyone who aspires to be a Catholic theologian. One can study the world's experience with religious thought without being a theologian. One can be a scholar in religious matters without being a Christian, certainly without being a Catholic theologian. But the Catholic theologian, is exercising a "genuinely ecclesial authority," which he usually derives from his ca- nonical mission. He is sent by pope and bishops to preach and teach in a way no different than the apostles who were sent by Christ. Even if this canonical mission has not been explicated, theologizing can only be done in communion with the faith, and this means in communion with the magisterium. Who said this? The International Theological Commission (ITHC) in 1976, following five years of meetings over the relationship of Catholic theology to the magisterium. ITHC, with theologians like Yves Congars, Barnabas Ahern, Philip Delhaye participating, published twelve theses which situated Catholic theologians "in medio ecclesiae," subject to the magis- terium.

  • HISTORY of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE for GIRL SCOUTS and CAMP FIRE by Virginia Reed
    Revised 3/11/2019 HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE FOR GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE By Virginia Reed The present National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire dates back to the early days of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Although it has functioned in various capacities and under several different names, this committee's purpose has remained the same: to minister to the Catholic girls in Girl Scouts (at first) and Camp Fire (since 1973). Beginnings The relationship between Girl Scouting and Catholic youth ministry is the result of the foresight of Juliette Gordon Low. Soon after founding the Girl Scout movement in 1912, Low traveled to Baltimore to meet James Cardinal Gibbons and consult with him about her project. Five years later, Joseph Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York appointed a representative to the Girl Scout National Board of Directors. The cardinal wanted to determine whether the Girl Scout program, which was so fine in theory, was equally sound in practice. Satisfied on this point, His Eminence publicly declared the program suitable for Catholic girls. In due course, the four U.S. Cardinals and the U.S. Catholic hierarchy followed suit. In the early 1920's, Girl Scout troops were formed in parochial schools and Catholic women eagerly became leaders in the program. When CYO was established in the early 1930's, Girl Scouting became its ally as a separate cooperative enterprise. In 1936, sociologist Father Edward Roberts Moore of Catholic charities, Archdiocese of New York, studied and approved the Girl Scout program because it was fitting for girls to beome "participating citizens in a modern, social democracy." This support further enhanced the relationship between the Catholic church and Girl Scouting.

  • The Catholic University of America A
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Church Apart: The Catholic Church in the Rural South, 1939-1990 A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of History School of Arts & Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Seth R. Smith Washington, D.C. 2016 A Church Apart: The Catholic Church in the Rural South, 1939-1990 Seth R. Smith, Ph.D. Director: Leslie Woodcock Tentler, Ph.D. This dissertation examines Catholicism in the rural South to answer three questions. The first is how did priests and lay Catholics engage in a pluralistic American society before and after Vatican II while drastically outnumbered? The second is what did it mean to be part of the universal Catholic Church while isolated geographically, socially, and institutionally? Finally, how do we balance the impact of major national and international events on the Catholicism in the rural South with the importance of local context? This dissertation seeks to answer these questions by examining the history of seven parishes – four pastored by Glenmary Home Missioners and three pastored by non-Glenmarians – in the rural South between 1939 and 1990. Throughout much of the twentieth century, Southern Catholics were regarded with suspicion by their neighbors without the protections offered by numbers or their own confessional institutions. Catholics in the rural South dealt with this in two ways. The first was by emphasizing their Southerness. Apart from their religious beliefs, they were virtually indistinguishable from their fellow Southerners, and their views on politics, economics, and race hewed much closer to their non-Catholic neighbors than their co-religionists in the North.

  • Thomas Francis Brennan (1855-1916) of Dallas and St
    CCHA Historical Studies, 71 (2005), 60-78 Departures of the Forgotten Bishop: Thomas Francis Brennan (1855-1916) of Dallas and St. John’s John Edward FITZGERALD In Catholic historical circles, there is little conventional wisdom about Thomas Francis Brennan. Somewhat known in America, he is virtually unknown to Canadians; in the historiographies of Catholicism in both countries he barely receives so much as a footnote. And even in the Archdiocese of St. John’s, Newfoundland, most Catholics who pride themselves on their historical knowledge are unable to identify much about him, save that he was the first Bishop of Dallas, Texas, who briefly came to St. John’s before disappearing. Who was this disappearing bishop? Why were his tenures in the United States and Newfoundland so short? No extensive study yet has been done on Brennan, so this article is intended as a preliminary examination of his career, rather than the last word.1 It identifies issues for further research on the character of Catholicism in Dallas and St. John’s, and concludes with brief remarks on the approach taken by Rome in dealing with embarrassing clerics. Thomas Francis Brennan was born on 10 October 1855 at Bally Cullen, between Cloneen and Mullinahone, in County Tipperary, Ireland.2 According to Brennan, he was “born on the banks of the sweet and smiling Annar [River] above which old Slievenamon lifts his haughty brow.”3 Like many people in Tipperary, his parents James and Margaret (Dunne) Brennan likely would have admired Thomas Francis Meagher, the hero of the Young Ireland rebellion of 1848, who later became a Union General in 1For their help in locating archival material on Brennan I am indebted to Professors Matteo Sanfilippo and Giovanni Pizzorusso in Rome and Luca Codignola in Genoa, Larry Dohey of the Archives of the Archdiocese of St.

  • Rite of Election Calls 96 Catechumens to the Church by TARA CONNOLLY Staff Writer
    “The Allentown Diocese in the Year of Our Lord” VOL. 30, NO. 4 FEBRUARY 22, 2018 Rite of Election Calls 96 Catechumens to the Church By TARA CONNOLLY Staff writer “The holy Church embraces you. We are so honored and privileged to see the Holy Spirit working through you to become a member of our Church,” said Bishop of Al- lentown Alfred Schlert to 96 catechumens during the Rite of Election. Bishop Schlert presided at the Rite of Election and was the main celebrant for the Mass Feb. 18 at the Cathedral of St. Catharine of Siena, Allentown. The afternoon ceremony, celebrated in English and Spanish, formally acknowledged the readiness of 96 cat- echumens – those preparing for the sacraments of initia- tion (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) – to seek full communion with the Catholic Church. The Rite of Election, which is celebrated annually on the first Sunday of Lent, marks the beginning of the final phase of preparation for those participating in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). The Call to Continuing Conversion is celebrated in in- dividual parishes. This ceremony is for candidates who have been baptized in other Christian traditions who now seek to become members of the Catholic Church, or bap- tized Catholics who had no instruction in the faith and are now preparing for Confirmation and Eucharist.
