During each day, the young people took turns serving different Indianapolis agencies in small groups: the Cathedral Soup Kitchen, Miracle Place, Holy Trinity Adult Day Care Center, St. Augustine Home for the Aged, St. Elizabeth- Coleman Pregnancy and Adoption Center, and a day camp for Hispanic children operated by the Missionaries of Charity.

  • World Youth Day Chronology (1984-Present)
    World Youth Day Chronology (1984-Present) World Youth Day is a global celebration of faith for Catholic youth and young adults, held every year since its inception during the Jubilee of Redemption (1983 to 1984), when St. John Paul II called for an international meeting of young people on Palm Sunday 1984 in Rome and handed over the Jubilee cross (now known as the “World Youth Day Cross”) to young adult Catholics around the world. As the development of this pilgrimage took place, a trend began with the international gatherings being held in a different host country every two to three years, with local celebrations of youth and young adults (in Rome and around the world) taking place in the intervening years. The following is a chronology of these World Youth Day gatherings: 1984: The Jubilee of Redemption for Young People Rome (St. Peter’s Square): April 11-15, 1984 Theme: “A Festival of Hope: A Jubilee of Young People in Rome” Song: “Resta Qui Con Noi” (Italian) International Attendance: 300,000; U.S. Attendance: not known NOTE: Pope John Paul II entrusts the WYD Cross to young people (April 22, 1984) 1985: International Year of Young People Rome (St. Peter’s Square): Palm Sunday, March 31, 1985 Theme: “A Festival of Hope: International Year of Young People” International Attendance: 300,000; U.S. Attendance: not known NOTE: Pope John Paul II announces institution of World Youth Day (December 20, 1985) 1986: First World Youth Day Local Celebrations: Palm Sunday, March 23, 1986 Theme: “Always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who calls you to account for the hope that is in you” (1Pt 3:15) 1987: II World Youth Day (International) Buenos Aires, Argentina: April 11-12, 1987 Theme: “We ourselves have known and put our faith in God’s love towards ourselves” (1Jn 4:16) Song: “Un Nuevo Sol” (Spanish): “A New Sun” International Attendance: 1,000,000; U.S.

Let others see this, let the world see it.” - Pope Benedict XVI, Homily at World Youth Day, 2005 “The direct duty to work for a just ordering of society . is proper to the lay faithful. As citizens of the State, they are called to take part in public life in a personal capacity. The mission of the lay faithful is therefore to configure social life correctly.” -- Pope Benedict XVI, God is Love, 2005, no. 29 “A society of genuine solidarity can be built only if…we consider it an honor to be able to devote our care and attention to the needs of our brothers and sisters in difficulty….

For all formal use please refer to the official version on the website, as linked below. The Catholic Church in International Politics https://www.e-ir.info/2013/11/14/the-catholic-church-in-international-politics/ ALAN CHONG, NOV 14 2013 It is axiomatic in the study of International Relations (IR) to treat the emergence of the Westphalian roots of the present pattern of international society as the simultaneous beginnings of a secular system of sovereign states that acknowledge no authority higher than their own. Power rules relations between states, as realists would have one believe, by imposing fear or attaining goals by overcoming the resistance of the weak. Liberals would seek instead to recast international interaction in terms of an enlightened embrace of win-win logics and belief in the pacific compatibility of differing national interests, if reason were allowed to run its course against the logic of force. The role of the Catholic Church in international politics challenges these assumptions—the dominant pillars of ‘IR theory’—by positing itself as a universal association of governmental and nongovernmental believers in a Christian God. But this does not necessarily mean that the Catholic Church is or has been an entity of spiritual and political perfection since the beginning of the historical time signified by the prefix ‘Anno Domini’. In fact, both the Old and New Testaments that comprise the Holy Bible, the founding text of all Christianity, record a worldwide institution constantly struggling under the multiple overlapping jurisdictions of prophets, their disciples, enlightened lay persons, and even among the rival religious adherents challenging Christianity in a quest for the meaning of the Good.

DEEDS Dr. John M. Frymire, Thesis Advisor DECEMBER 2018 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis entitled THE PULPITS AND THE DAMNED: WITCHCRAFT IN GERMAN POSTILS, 1520- 1615 presented by Tanner H. Deeds a candidate for the degree of Master of Arts, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor John M. Frymire Professor Kristy Wilson-Bowers Professor Rabia Gregory I owe an enormous debt to my entire family; but my greatest debt is to my maternal grandmother Jacqueline Williams. Her love and teachings were instrumental in making me who I am today. Unfortunately, she passed away during the early stages of this project and is unable to share in the joys of its completion. My only hope is that whatever I become and whatever I accomplish is worthy of the time, treasure, and kindness she gave me. It is with the utmost joy and the most painful sorrow that I dedicate this work to her. ACKNOWLEGEMENTS At both the institutional and individual level, I have incurred more debts than I can ever hope to repay. Above all I must thank my advisor Dr. John Frymire. Dr. Frymire has been an exemplar advisor from my first day at the University of Missouri. Both in and out of the classroom, he has taught me more than I could have ever hoped when I began this journey.

  • What Is World Youth Day?
    “World Youth Day (WYD) is an opportunity for young Catholics to encounter the global Church and all its riches. More than 2/3s of the Catholics in the world now live outside of North America and Europe. WYD is a time to experience that reality.” “Many of the young men and women who have entered Holy Orders or religious communities had found the profound first call to a vocation at WYD.” “Come to WYD to be with your peers and Pope Francis!” Bishop Coyne What is World Youth Day? Starting in 1985 in Rome by Pope John Paul II, the Holy Father has invited youth and young adults to gather periodically with him across the world in an epic event known as World Youth Day. Though the title indicates a “day,” it is really a week long life changing experience of the universality and richness of the Catholic Church. This past summer, Pope Francis invited youth and young adults from across the world to the 14th World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland. The Diocese of Burlington will be teaming up with Chris Dawson and “Save Vermont” to send a group of pilgrims, along with millions of other Catholics from around the world, to the place where Saint Pope John Paul II spent much of his life. The official website for WYD Krakow has been released (http://www.krakow2016.com/en ) Please view the official World Youth Day promotional video here Who can attend? The pilgrimage is for both youth and young adults. For the purpose of this pilgrimage, we are defining youth and young adults as the following: Youth • generally between 16-18 years old • at least 16 years old by time of departure (July 22, 2016) -- exceptions may be made for those teens attending with a parent • currently enrolled in high school or is in home school • graduated from high school in the spring/summer of 2016 Young Adult • between 18-29 years old • graduated from high school on or before the spring/summer of 2016 What will happen and how will we get there? The basic itinerary for the trip is as follows: - July 19th – Travel to Poland (van from Burlington to Montreal – then a flight to Poland).

  • Jeder Treu Auf Seinem Posten: German Catholics
    JEDER TREU AUF SEINEM POSTEN: GERMAN CATHOLICS AND KULTURKAMPF PROTESTS by Jennifer Marie Wunn (Under the Direction of Laura Mason) ABSTRACT The Kulturkampf which erupted in the wake of Germany’s unification touched Catholics’ lives in multiple ways. Far more than just a power struggle between the Catholic Church and the new German state, the conflict became a true “struggle for culture” that reached into remote villages, affecting Catholic men, women, and children, regardless of their age, gender, or social standing, as the state arrested clerics and liberal, Protestant polemicists castigated Catholics as ignorant, anti-modern, effeminate minions of the clerical hierarchy. In response to this assault on their faith, most Catholics defended their Church and clerics; however, Catholic reactions to anti- clerical legislation were neither uniform nor clerically-controlled. Instead, Catholics’ Kulturkampf activism took many different forms, highlighting both individual Catholics’ personal agency in deciding if, when, and how to take part in the struggle as well as the diverse factors that motivated, shaped, and constrained their activism. Catholics resisted anti-clerical legislation in ways that reflected their personal lived experience; attending to the distinctions between men’s and women’s activism or those between older and younger Catholics’ participation highlights individuals’ different social and communal roles and the diverse ways in which they experienced and negotiated the dramatic transformations the new nation underwent in its first decade of existence. Investigating the patterns and distinctions in Catholics’ Kulturkampf activism illustrates how Catholics understood the Church-State conflict, making clear what various groups within the Catholic community felt was at stake in the struggle, as well as how external factors such as the hegemonic contemporary discourses surrounding gender roles, class status, age and social roles, the division of public and private, and the feminization of religion influenced their activism.
