  • The Theology of the Lay Apostolate
    THE THEOLOGY OF THE LAY APOSTOLATE When Monsignor Murphy requested me to prepare this paper on the theology of the lay apostolate for the 19S9 convention of the Catholic Theological Society of America he indicated that the Com- mittee on Current Problems was interested in the topic in order that a course on the subject could be worked into the seminary frame- work. This seminar, therefore, has a twofold purpose: an inquiry into the theological problems of the lay apostolate and the more practical issue of the relationship of those questions to the seminary curriculum. In order that the second objective might be at least par- tially realized a letter was mailed to the major seminaries of the United States to determine the present status of the theology of the lay apostolate in the seminary course. Forty-five replies were re- ceived and the information can be summarized rather briefly. Nine- teen of the forty-five seminaries said that nothing or practically nothing was done. The remaining twenty-six all treated the topic in one way or another, either in elective seminars, special classes or lectures, in extra-curricular activities or in other classes. The most common method was to consider the lay apostolate in courses already in the curriculum, for example in Dogma (de Ecclesia, de Baptismo, de Confirmatione, de Verbo Incarnato), in Missiology, Pastoral Theology and Catechetics. In the last three cases the treatment tended to be more practical. Whether or not a special course should be introduced into the seminary is questionable. Those who expressed themselves on this point thought that the cur- riculum is already overcrowded and that seminarians have too little opportunity for individual study and reflection.

It is arguable that this prejudice is becoming less topical by the year, for various reasons; among others, Franco died over a quarter of a century ago. Furthermore, Opus Dei is a world-wide institution. However, the theme occasionally comes to the fore. One can still find articles in works of reference affirming that Opus Dei had political influence in Franco’s government, through the important posts occupied by its members.

University of Dayton Advisor: William L. Portier, Ph.D. Yves Congar’s theology of the laity and ministries is unified on the basis of his adaptation of Christ’s triplex munera to the laity and his specification of ministry as one aspect of the laity’s participation in Christ’s triplex munera. The seminal insight of Congar’s adaptation of the triplex munera is illumined by situating his work within his historical and ecclesiological context. The U.S. reception of Congar’s work on the laity and ministries, however, evinces that Congar’s principle insight has received a mixed reception by Catholic theologians in the United States due to their own historical context as well as their specific constructive theological concerns over the laity’s secularity, or the priority given to lay ministry over the notion of a laity.

    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

As we stand at the brink of 2020, everyone knows the Church has been plagued throughout this year with the abuse scandal reignited the previous year along with an onslaught of controversy; mean- while in this time of perceived vulnerability, those with competing worldviews continue to put forth concerted efforts to attempt to deconstruct truths that touch on the foundations of our faith.

    GERMAN OBLATE RESISTANCE by Thomas Klosterkamp, OMI 13 Oblate Heritage Series O.M.I. General Postulation Rome, Italy 1998 Translated by: Werner Rorig, O.M.I. Cover: Claude Tardiff, O.M.I. Printed by: Tip. Citta Nuova Largo Cistina di Svezia, 17 00165 Roma (Italia) GERMAN OBLATE RESISTENCE Preface The present volume of “Oblate Heritage” deals with German Oblates in conflict with National Socialism (abbreviated as N.S.). By the term “German Oblates” we mean members of the Oblate Provinces of Germany and of Sudetenland (the German speaking territory of Czechoslovakia ceded to Nazi Germany by the treaty of Munich in 1938). Here we present cases of 42 individual German Oblates, and also describe the activity of the N.S. regime against the institutions of the two German OMI Provinces. In order to help understand the situation of the period in question, it is necessary to outline briefly the tactics of the Nazis’ battle against the Church, as well as the attitude of the Catholic Church in Germany towards the totalitarian N.S. regime. Until now, for whatever reasons, no attempt has been made to draw up a detailed and documented picture of this part of German Oblate history. Besides, as yet not all the historical documents can be traced and sufficiently examined. We limit ourselves here to the essentials. This study, then, should be understood as a fragmentary coverage of this period of history of the Congregation in Germany. National Two institutions with an absolute claim Socialism on the human person and the Roman Both the ideology of the National Socialist Party, duly Catholic elected to power in Germany in 1933, and the belief of the Church Catholic Church, demand total adherence from their followers.

  • And Theology in Post-Vatican II Germany », Histoire@Politique, [En Ligne], N° 30, Septembre-Décembre 2016
    Claus Arnold, « Turbulent Priests : "Solidarity Groups", "Councils" and Theology in Post-Vatican II Germany », Histoire@Politique, [en ligne], n° 30, septembre-décembre 2016, www.histoire-politique.fr Turbulent Priests : “Solidarity Groups”, “Councils” and Theology in Post-Vatican II Germany Claus Arnold “Will no one rid me of these turbulent priests?” Quite a few German bishops between 1969 and 1973 may have thought so. The formation of radical priest groups was a pan-European phenomenon,1 which found expression in the famous Conference in Rome in October 1969, on the fringes of the Extraordinary General Synod of Bishops. The European dimension of this phenomenon was also stressed by the German-language documentation of the Conference, published by Patmos, Düsseldorf.2 The reception of Vatican II3 had entered a critical state in 1969. This was felt world-wide and led to a virtually simultaneous mobilization and a very keen international awareness within these groups. The general crisis of post-Vatican II reforms in the age of Paul VI, especially after Humanae Vitae,4 provided a common background for all such groups. To some extent, this extraordinary mobilization, which included around 10 % of all priests in Germany,5 had a special antecedent within (West) German Catholicism. “The Discovery of Conflict”: Developments in Post-WW II German Catholicism In contrast to the German Reich, Catholics were no longer a minority in the new West German Republic after 1949,6 and with the arrival of millions of refugees7 the 1 See, for instance, Denis Pelletier, La crise catholique.
