Subsidiarity in America: the Legacy of Bishop Bernard James Sheil SUBSIDIARITY IN AMERICA: THE LEGACY OF BISHOP BERNARD JAMES SHEIL Dissertation Submitted to The College of Arts and Sciences of the UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology By Justin Michael Yankech, M.A. Dayton, Ohio May 2021 SUBSIDIARITY IN AMERICA: THE LEGACY OF BISHOP BERNARD JAMES SHEIL Name: Yankech, Justin Michael APPROVED BY: _____________________________________________ Vincent J. Miller, Ph.D. Committee Chair _____________________________________________ Kelly Johnson, Ph.D. Committee Member _____________________________________________ David J. O’Brien, Ph.D. Committee Member _____________________________________________ William L. Portier, Ph.D. Committee Member _____________________________________________ Anthony B. Smith, Ph.D. Committee Member ii © Copyright by Justin Michael Yankech All rights reserved 2020 ABSTRACT SUBSIDIARITY IN AMERICA: THE LEGACY OF BISHOP BERNARD JAMES SHEIL Name: Yankech, Justin Michael University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Vincent J. Miller The principle of subsidiarity is a signature concept in Catholic social doctrine and papal teaching. Yet, an incomplete understanding of the full principle and papal refrain from prescribing policies or concrete examples of the principle has created difficulties in developing subsidiarity within specific social and cultural situations. This project uses theological and historical methods to investigate the social work and thought of Bishop Bernard James Sheil, his collaboration with Saul Alinsky, and the results of their collaboration in the institutionalization of Alinsky-style community organizing in the American Catholic Church in the form of the Campaign for Human Development, to determine how Catholic subsidiarity is influenced by an adaptation to American democratic culture and the demands that Catholic subsidiarity makes on American liberal democratic social imagination. This study shows that Bishop Sheil’s collaboration with Saul Alinsky represents a full embodiment of the structural pluralism, structural-pluralistic subsidiarity and associational subsidiarity that make up the principle of subsidiarity while also attending to American democratic culture’s focus on the liberal individual. In short, Bishop Sheil’s legacy, in the form of the institutionalization of his collaboration with Saul Alinsky in the CCHD, is representative of a distinctly American and wholly Catholic form of subsidiarity. iii Dedicated to my wife and children iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Vincent Miller, my advisor, for providing his support and time during the many Summers it took to complete this, and for his expertise and much- needed editorial skills. I would like to thank the staffs at the Archdiocese of Chicago Archives, the Archives of the University of Notre Dame, the Briscoe Center for American History, and the Madonna House Archives. Their work and help made this project possible. I would like to thank Leah Yankech, my wife, whose patience, support and motivation during this long process has been vital. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ......................................................................................................................................... iii DEDICATION ................................................................................................................................... iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................................. v INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................................................. 1 Research Focus ................................................................................................................................ 1 Background ....................................................................................................................................... 1 Findings ............................................................................................................................................. 4 Chapter Outline ............................................................................................................................. 12 Methodology................................................................................................................................... 16 Research Methods and Sources ................................................................................................... 16 CHAPTER I: UNDERSTANDING SUBSIDIARITY .............................................................. 18 Introduction .................................................................................................................................... 18 Part I.

FINAL_MORELAND 8/14/2018 9:10 PM THE PRE-HISTORY OF SUBSIDIARITY IN LEO XIII MICHAEL P. MORELAND† Christian Legal Thought is a much-anticipated contribution from Patrick Brennan and William Brewbaker that brings the resources of the Christian intellectual tradition to bear on law and legal education. Among its many strengths, the book deftly combines Catholic and Protestant contributions and scholarly material with more widely accessible sources such as sermons and newspaper columns. But no project aiming at a crisp and manageably-sized presentation of Christianity’s contribution to law could hope to offer a comprehensive treatment of particular themes. And so, in this brief essay, I seek to elaborate upon the treatment of the principle of subsidiarity in Catholic social thought. Subsidiarity is mentioned a handful of times in Christian Legal Thought, most squarely with a lengthy quotation from Pius XI’s articulation of the principle in Quadragesimo Anno.1 In this proposed elaboration of subsidiarity, I wish to broaden the discussion of subsidiarity historically (back a few decades from Quadragesimo Anno to the pontificate of Leo XIII) and philosophically (most especially its relation to Leo XIII’s revival of Thomism).2 Statements of the principle have historically been terse and straightforward even if the application of subsidiarity to particular legal questions has not.

  • Distributism Debate
    The Distributism Debate The Distributism Debate Dane J. Weber Donald P. Goodman III Eds. GP Goretti Publications Dozenal numeration is a system of thinking of numbers in twelves, rather than tens. Twelve is much more versatile, having four even divisors—2, 3, 4, and 6—as opposed to only two for ten. This means that such hatefulness as “0.333. ” for 1/3 and “0.1666. ” for 1/6 are things of the past, replaced by easy “0;4” (four twelfths) and “0;2” (two twelfths). In dozenal, counting goes “one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, elv, dozen; dozen one, dozen two, dozen three, dozen four, dozen five, dozen six, dozen seven, dozen eight, dozen nine, dozen ten, dozen elv, two dozen, two dozen one. ” It’s written as such: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X, E, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1X, 1E, 20, 21... Dozenal counting is at once much more efficient and much easier than decimal counting, and takes only a little bit of time to get used to. Further information can be had from the dozenal societies (http:// www.dozenal.org), as well as in many other places on the Internet. © 2006 (11E2) Dane J. Weber and Donald P.

Yocum This dissertation considers a spectrum of five distinct approaches that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomist Catholic thinkers utilized when engaging with the tradition of modern scientific psychology: a critical approach, a reformulation approach, a synthetic approach, a particular [Jungian] approach, and a personalist approach. This work argues that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomists were essentially united in their concerns about the metaphysical principles of many modern psychologists as well as in their worries that these same modern psychologists had a tendency to overlook the transcendent dimension of human existence. This work shows that the first four neo-Thomist thinkers failed to bring the traditions of neo-Thomism and modern psychology together to the extent that they suggested purely theoretical ways of reconciling them.

  • Hypergeorgism: When Rent Taxation Is Socially Optimal∗
    Hypergeorgism: When rent taxation is socially optimal∗ Ottmar Edenhoferyz, Linus Mattauch,x Jan Siegmeier{ June 25, 2014 Abstract Imperfect altruism between generations may lead to insufficient capital accumulation. We study the welfare consequences of taxing the rent on a fixed production factor, such as land, in combination with age-dependent redistributions as a remedy. Taxing rent enhances welfare by increasing capital investment. This holds for any tax rate and recycling of the tax revenues except for combinations of high taxes and strongly redistributive recycling. We prove that specific forms of recycling the land rent tax - a transfer directed at fundless newborns or a capital subsidy - allow reproducing the social optimum under pa- rameter restrictions valid for most economies.

During the depression decade of the 1870s, the efficacy of the laissez-faire economic system came into question, during this same timeframe neoclassical economics supplanted classical political economy. This inquiry considers both of George’s key works: Progress and Poverty [1879] and The Science of Political Economy [1898], establishing the distinct components of Georgist economic thought.
