Reflections in Advance of the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation ($75,000). Gordon College. PIs: Thomas Albert Howard (Gordon College) and Mark A. Noll (University of Notre Dame) With an eye on the approaching quincentennial, of the Protestant Reformation, the project has engaged in a fundamental inquiry into the historical significance of Protestantism, its heterogeneous trajectories of influence, and their relationship to forces of social innovation, political development, and religious change in the modern West and across the globe. The quincentennial of the Protestant Reformation in 2017 will bring into public view longstanding scholarly debates, interpretations and their revisions—along with lingering confessional animosities and more recent ecumenical overtures. For Western Christianity, a moment of historical recollection on this scale has not presented itself in recent memory. Acts of commemoration can be enlisted to reflect, shape, and introduce novel forces into history. They were not simply conduits or transmitters of the old, but definers and harbingers of the new. In this sense, we might view the past commemorations of the Reformation as being not unlike the sixteenth-century Reformation itself: a series of acts motivated by the desire of retrieval and restoration that, in the final analysis, left a legacy of profound change, disruption, and innovation in human history.

  • Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1980
    Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1980 Robert L. Richardson, Jr. A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by, Michael H. Hunt, Chair Richard Kohn Timothy McKeown Nancy Mitchell Roger Lotchin Abstract Robert L. Richardson, Jr. Neoconservatism: Origins and Evolution, 1945 – 1985 (Under the direction of Michael H. Hunt) This dissertation examines the origins and evolution of neoconservatism as a philosophical and political movement in America from 1945 to 1980. I maintain that as the exigencies and anxieties of the Cold War fostered new intellectual and professional connections between academia, government and business, three disparate intellectual currents were brought into contact: the German philosophical tradition of anti-modernism, the strategic-analytical tradition associated with the RAND Corporation, and the early Cold War anti-Communist tradition identified with figures such as Reinhold Niebuhr. Driven by similar aims and concerns, these three intellectual currents eventually coalesced into neoconservatism. As a political movement, neoconservatism sought, from the 1950s on, to re-orient American policy away from containment and coexistence and toward confrontation and rollback through activism in academia, bureaucratic and electoral politics. Although the neoconservatives were only partially successful in promoting their transformative project, their accomplishments are historically significant. More specifically, they managed to interject their views and ideas into American political and strategic thought, discredit détente and arms control, and shift U.S. foreign policy toward a more confrontational stance vis-à-vis the Soviet Union.

    142 CTSA Proceedings 56 / 2001 the presentation. Second, Deck-Figueroa considered the insight from the exile experience that life does indeed arise from death, even the death of the loss of a home Third, Deck-Figueroa was struck by the correlation of Manll's work with Ignatian spirituality : the review of how God works in our lives leads us to mission is the experience of the exiles, who, rooted in faith, are broken by (social) sin, find love and life in another place, and commit to a ministry ol compassion and justice to others. During a lively question and answer period every member of the audience commented and pointed toward a broader application of such a theology to the great numbers of peoples on the move in the world today. Finally, discussion continued beyond the scheduled time on the subjects of sin, atonement, sacrifice and redemption. ALICIA C.

Bush administration’s foreign policy are becoming. “Acquiring additional burdens by engag- ing in new wars of liberation is the last thing the United States needs,” declared one Bush critic in Foreign Affairs. “The principal problem is the mistaken belief that democracy is a talisman for all the world’s ills, and that the United States has a responsibility to promote dem- ocratic government wherever in the world it is lacking.”1 Does this sound like a Democratic pundit bashing Bush for par- tisan gain? Quite the contrary. The swipe came from Dimitri Simes, president of the Nixon Center and copublisher of National Interest. Simes is not alone in calling on the administration to reclaim the party’s pre-Reagan heritage—to abandon the moralistic, Wilsonian, neoconservative dream of exporting democracy and return to a more limited and realistic foreign policy that avoids the pitfalls of Iraq. 1.

  • Course Description Course Rationale
    Notre Dame Seminary School of Theology SL 602 – Liturgical Space and Time Spring 2013 Professor: Rev. Nile C. Gross Phone: 504-866-7426 (x3919) Email: [email protected] Office Hours: SJ 109, by appointment Classroom: 3 Class Time: Thurs., 1:30-3:15PM Course Description “As sacrament, the Church is Christ’s instrument. ‘She is taken up by him also as the instrument for the salvation of all,’ ‘the universal sacrament of salvation,’ by which Christ is ‘at once manifesting and actualizing the mystery of God’s love for men’” (CCC 776). The Church is the sacramental instrument employed by Christ her Head for the sanctification of the world. Most considerations of this theme of the Church’s sanctifying role rightly emphasize man’s sanctification through her. However, mankind alone is not the object of salvation; all of creation must be brought together in Christ. In this course, we will discuss how the Church, who shares Christ’s mission to “make all things new,” participates in the sanctification of created space and time. Firstly, we will examine how the Church’s prayer itself serves to consecrate time. This investigation will have three main foci – the Divine Office (daily), Sunday worship (weekly), and the Liturgical Year (yearly). Secondly, we will examine how the Church sanctifies space. Here, we will concern ourselves primarily with our church buildings, their architecture and décor. As this is a class in liturgical theology, we will remain focused on the principles established by the Church which allow us, as her members, to more fully recognize and participate in this action of sanctifying the world.

  • Bearings, We Look for Clues About the Future of the Church by Paying Attention to the Church of the Present
    for the Life of Faith A UTUMN 2013 A Publication of the Collegeville Institute for Ecumenical and Cultural Research Editors’ Note Theologian James Gustafson once referred to the church as housing “treasure in earthen vessels.” Treasure may abide, but earthenware is notoriously apt to chip, crack, and shatter. It’s an appropriate image for our time. Far and wide, scholars are diagnosing a permanent state of decline in the institutional church as we know it, at least in the West. According to nearly every marker of institutional health, the church is failing. It is bitterly divided, financially strapped, plagued by abuses of power, shrinking in numbers, and poorly regarded in public perception. Tellingly, a growing number of prominent Christian figures are quite willing to bid farewell to the church—the very institution that reared them and upon which their livelihood depends. With titles such as Jesus for the Non-Religious, Saving Jesus from the Church, and Christianity After Religion, various church leaders are suggesting that the church may be more of a hindrance than a help to Christian identity and mission in today’s context. It’s hard not to hear echoes of theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer who, over 75 years ago, warned in his book The Cost of Discipleship of a church “overlaid with so much human ballast—burdensome rules and regulations, false hopes and consola- tions,” that it stood in danger of abandoning its central call to follow the way of Jesus. Even if the church is coming to some sort of an end, Christianity is still very much with us.

  • THE JESUIT MISSION to CANADA and the FRENCH WARS of RELIGION, 1540-1635 Dissertation P
    “POOR SAVAGES AND CHURLISH HERETICS”: THE JESUIT MISSION TO CANADA AND THE FRENCH WARS OF RELIGION, 1540-1635 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joseph R. Wachtel, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Alan Gallay, Adviser Professor Dale K. Van Kley Professor John L. Brooke Copyright by Joseph R. Wachtel 2013 Abstract My dissertation connects the Jesuit missions in Canada to the global Jesuit missionary project in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries by exploring the impact of French religious politics on the organizing of the first Canadian mission, established at Port Royal, Acadia, in 1611. After the Wars of Religion, Gallican Catholics blamed the Society for the violence between French Catholics and Protestants, portraying Jesuits as underhanded usurpers of royal authority in the name of the Pope—even accusing the priests of advocating regicide. As a result, both Port Royal’s settlers and its proprietor, Jean de Poutrincourt, never trusted the missionaries, and the mission collapsed within two years. After Virginia pirates destroyed Port Royal, Poutrincourt drew upon popular anti- Jesuit stereotypes to blame the Jesuits for conspiring with the English. Father Pierre Biard, one of the missionaries, responded with his 1616 Relation de la Nouvelle France, which described Port Royal’s Indians and narrated the Jesuits’ adventures in North America, but served primarily as a defense of their enterprise. Religio-political infighting profoundly influenced the interaction between Indians and Europeans in the earliest years of Canadian settlement.

  • Marriage and the Family (Catholic Truth Society, 1979)
    “The Heart of the Deepest Truth” Consultative Document: Marriage and the Family Issued by the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, 15 December 1979 Table of Contents Marriage and the Family: A Consultative Document Foreword Introducing the Theme 1. The Panorama A. Economic Factors B. Social Factors C. Relationship Problems 2. Some Aspects of the Church’s Teaching on Marriage and the Family A. Marriage B. The Family C. Particular Issues 3. The Pastoral Response A. The Family Apostolate B. Needs Of The Family C. Church Initiatives Foreword In October 1980 the International Synod of Bishops will discuss family life. To prepare for that meeting the Synod has already published a preliminary working paper to discover the reactions of Bishops’ Conferences throughout the world. Consequently the bishops have decided to seek the views, experience and findings of people in England and Wales, particularly those with experience of marriage, and of those clergy and laity who have made special study of the many aspects of marriage and family life today. This, then, is not a teaching document; instead its modest purpose is to focus attention on the questions already proposed by the Synod’s preparatory working paper. As it happens, many of these issues are already being discussed in preparation for the National Pastoral Congress in May 1980. The questions raised by the Synod are in some ways wider and more fundamental, and will, of course, prove to be of importance for the Congress itself. The bishops, however, have to respond to the Synod consultation by the end of this year, so the enquiry must be made now; the results will further the Congress discussions in the spring.

  • 10 Lasallian Ministry and the Unity of Christians
    Jeffrey Gros, fsc Lasallian Ministry and the Unity of Christians MEL Bulletin 10 • What is your experience with other Christian churches in your Lasallian ministry? • What challenges do you face in implementing the ecu- menical initiatives of the Church in your ministry? • What have been the most positive experiences for you and your ministry along the road of the Church toward deeper communion with other Christians? • What resources would best serve your ministry in the process of uniting Christians? 5 Introduction In educational service of the poor, outreach to fellow Christians as partners in ministry and as communities we serve, is integral to Catholic identity and Lasallian ministry. The Catholic Church is committed to the long pilgrimage to full reconciliation among all Christian churches through the process of collaboration, prayer and dialogue. This is particularly important where Catholics are a majority in the community. The Catholic school is a privileged place for spiritual formation, dialogue and education. The General Chapter reaffirmed this dimension of Lasallian com- mitment: Among Lasallian institutions, the school is an ideal place for an interreligious and ecumenical dialogue which will bear witness to the values of all forms of faith. Lasallians working in universities have the opportunity to contribute to our mission, in a special way, by their commitment to research in the field of the faith development of young people, whatever their religion, and by training and accompaniment of those persons entrusted with the difficult task of sharing the Good News in an increasingly secu- larized and multi-religious context. The Lasallian charism is already a source of inspiration in the con- text of multi-cultural and multi-religious societies.

  • The Reformation at Five Hundred
    first things November 2014 the reformation at five hundred Thomas Albert Howard and Mark A. Noll outline the changing ways we remember the Reformation. n October 25, many church- es will once again observe “Reformation Sunday,” com- memorating the dayO in 1517 when Martin Luther is said to have nailed his Ninety-Five Theses concerning theological reform on the door of the Castle church in Wittenberg, Saxony. This event continues to be regarded as the birth of Protestantism. We now stand just three years out from the five-hundredth anniversary, which will be marked worldwide in 2017. Churches, institutions, and individuals shaped by what began so many centuries ago face a daunting question: How in fact ought one to com- memorate the Reformation five hundred years after the fact? Thomas Albert Howard is professor of history and director of the Center for Faith and Inquiry at Gordon College. Mark A. Noll is the Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame. 43 the reformation at five hundred It’s not an easy question to answer. Protestantism, inspiration from their history-making Joint Decla- it should be remembered, has not only been cred- ration on the Doctrine of the Justification (1999), ited for restoring Christian truth (or, on the other these two imposing church bodies regard 2017 as an hand, blamed for church divisions) but has been in- opportunity to deplore past divisions, engage in self- voked as the cause of modern liberalism, capitalism, criticism for opportunities lost, and strive for greater religious wars, tolerance, democracy, individualism, unity in the future.

Summary This thesis deals with the different ways in which Anglican Sisterhoods were portrayed in fiction and journalism, both religious and secular, in the mid-nineteenth century. It examines the influence of anti-Roman Catholic and anti-convent literature on these portrayals and considers whether there was any significant interchange between Sisterhoods and the feminist movement of the mid-nineteenth century.
