  • Allegations Against Cardinal Mccarrick Raise Difficult Questions
    Allegations against Cardinal McCarrick raise difficult questions A new allegation of child sexual abuse was leveled against Cardinal Theodore McCarrick last Thursday, one month after the June announcement that he had been suspended from priestly ministry following an investigation into a different charge of sexual abuse on the part of the cardinal. Along with emerging accounts from priests and former seminarians of sexual coercion and abuse by McCarrick, those allegations paint a picture of McCarrick’s sexual malfeasance that may be among the most grave, tragic, and, for many Catholics, infuriating, as any in recent Catholic history. From all corners of the Church, questions are being raised about those who might have known about McCarrick’s misconduct, about how the Church will now handle the allegations against McCarrick, and about what it means for the Church that a prominent, powerful, and reportedly predatory cleric was permitted to continue in ministry for decades without censure or intervention. Because McCarrick was a leading voice in the Church’s 2002 response to the sexual abuse crisis in the United States, and an architect of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Dallas Charter of the same year, the credibility of that response has also, for some, come into question. For parents and others who placed trust in the Church to secure a safe environment for children, those questions are especially important. At the USCCB’s 2002 Spring Assembly in Dallas, the bishops drafted their Charter for the Protection of Young People and the Essential Norms for Diocesan/Eparchial Policies Dealing with Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests or Deacons, under intense media scrutiny.

  • The Impact of Globalization on Occupational Safety and Health
    Session No. 786 The Impact of Globalization on Occupational Safety and Health Lawrence J. H. Schulze, PhD, PE, CPE Associate Professor Department of Industrial Engineering University of Houston, Houston, TX Abstract Globalization can be defined as the industrialization of the world. However, a more pragmatic definition might be the transfer of manufacturing from Established Economic Markets (USA and European Community as defined by the World Bank) to ‘developing’ economic markets. As such, the transference of manufacturing to areas with little or no infrastructure to ensure the health and safety of their workforces, these economic markets find that their rates of work-related injuries have skyrocketed. Although the globalization of economies has brought economic growth and new prosperity to many regions of the world, it has also brought with it an increasing safety concern. Although there are certainly threats to workplace health and safety, there are also opportunities for the international community. Worldwide cooperation, exchange of information, exchange of stories of success and failure, and international networks of Ergonomists, Industrial Hygienists, Safety Professionals and Public Health Professionals will create a collaboration that will be part of the solution than part of the problem through individual efforts. Approaches such as: (1) grass-roots citizen efforts; (2) consumer efforts; (3) professional collaborations; (4) publication of success stories; (5) and a focus on practical solutions that have an immediate impact on worker health and safety while supporting productivity and competitiveness will have an impact on improving working conditions around the world. The world is truly a small place, where the impact is one region is truly felt globally.

  • Una Aproximación Teológico-Litúrgica a Los Formularios Pascuales
    UNIVERSIDAD DE NAVARRA FACULTAD DE TEOLOGÍA Félix María AROCENA SOLANO LAS PRECES DE LA LITURGIA HORARUM. Una aproximación teológico-litúrgica a los formularios pascuales Extracto de la Tesis Doctoral presentada en la Facultad de Teología de la Universidad de Navarra PAMPLONA 2002 Ad normam Statutorum Facultatis Theologiae Universitatis Navarrensis, perlegimus et adprobavimus Pampilonae, die 1 mensis iulii anni 2002 Dr. Ioseph Antonius ABAD Dr. Ioseph Ludovicus GUTIÉRREZ Coram tribunali, die 28 mensis iunii anni 2002, hanc dissertationem ad Lauream Candidatus palam defendit Secretarius Facultatis Eduardus FLANDES Excerpta e Dissertationibus in Sacra Theologia Vol. XLIII, n. 7 PRESENTACIÓN La reforma litúrgica del Concilio Vaticano II, que —en la opinión mayoritaria de los autores— alcanzó una de sus realizaciones más lo- gradas precisamente en la reinstauración del Oficio romano, se mues- tra como un vasto campo de investigación donde no todo está dicho. Muestra clara de ello lo constituyen las Preces que representan, si no una novedad, sí, al menos, un elemento sustancialmente reinstaurado al que hasta hoy se le ha prestado escasa atención. De hecho, siendo una producción eucológica tan vasta —abarca más de 200 formula- rios que abrazan 1.300 fórmulas—, tras una indagación bibliográfica lo más exhaustiva posible en varias lenguas, hemos encontrado cinco artículos —todos ellos extranjeros— relativamente generales, breves, descriptivos y ninguna obra completa dedicada a su estudio porme- norizado y abarcante de todas sus dimensiones, tales como la historia, la teología, la espiritualidad, la pastoral e incluso un análisis filológico de los textos. Por lo que se refiere a la teología sistemática, echamos en falta un estudio de tipo contenutístico de las Preces, laguna que noso- tros intentamos ahora rellenar mediante el análisis de la pneumatolo- gía y eclesiología contenida en los formularios del tiempo de Pascua.

The paper is reproduced as submitted by the author without formal editing. 1 I. The Impending Workforce Crisis The global workforce is now at a tipping point. We are transitioning out of a decades-long period of rapid growth in working age populations and entering a new era of unprecedented population aging and slowing workforce growth. Population aging is driven by three major demographic forces. First, due to improved health care and innovations, global life expectancy increased from 47 years in 1950 to 67 years in 2000. 2 Second, total fertility rates fell drastically in the second half of the 20 th century. The number of children per woman almost halved between 1950 (when women had on average five children) and 2000 (when women had on average 2.6 children). 3 Finally, a surge in fertility rates in the middle of the 20th century, observed largely in North America, parts of Europe, and Australia, created a “baby boom,” a population bulge now entering the older ages.
