In more than two hours of discus- sion about the letter on the last day of their Nov. 15-18 annual meeting a large majority of the 31 bishops who addressed the issue supported the basic thrust of the pastoral, couching their criticisms of specific points in terms of a desire to strengthen the total document and give it greater im- pact and credibility.

Mostrom All rights reserved 2018 iii ABSTRACT YVES CONGAR’S THEOLOGY OF LAITY AND MINISTRIES AND ITS THEOLOGICAL RECEPTION IN THE UNITED STATES Name: Mostrom, Alan D. 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.

  • NEW YORK ENCOUNTER 2011: Can an Accomplished Scientist Be a Genuine Believer Today?
    NEW YORK ENCOUNTER 2011: Can an Accomplished Scientist Be a Genuine Believer Today? A discussion exploring the boundaries of faith and science With Msgr. Lorenzo ALBACETE, Theologian, author, columnist, Dr. Kenneth MILLER, Professor of Biology, Brown University, and Dr. Charles TOWNES, Nobel Prize Winner in Physics Sunday, January 16, 2011, The Manhattan Center, New York, NY Landi: Good evening. My name is Maria Teresa Landi and I’m a scientist at the National Institute of Health, and I’m also a member of the Advisory Board of Crossroads Cultural Center that is among the organizers of New York Encounter. Tonight I have the great privilege to introduce three distinguished speakers, Professor Charles Townes, Nobel Prize winner in physics, Professor Kenneth Miller, a professor of biology at Brown University, and Msgr. Lorenzo Albacete, author, theologian and former scientist. Tonight we will address one of the most widely discussed topics in academic and public life: Can an accomplished scientist be a genuine believer today? And we have asked the speakers to address this question starting from their experience. I want to begin introducing Professor Townes with just a few salient points among his long list of accomplishments. Dr. Charles H. Townes, who received the Nobel Prize in 1964 for his role in the invention of the maser and the laser, is presently a Professor in the Graduate School at the University of California, Berkeley, and engaged in research in astrophysics. He is known for a variety of research involving the interaction of electromagnetic waves and matter, and also as teacher and government advisor.

  • Restorative Justice
    "I have come to heal..." Restorative Justice This is the fourth in a series of six pastoral statements by Catholic Bishops of the South on the Criminal Justice process and a gospel response. "We are guided by the paradoxical Catholic teaching on crime and punishment: We will not tolerate the crime and violence that threatens the lives and dignity of our sisters and brothers, and we will not give up on those who have lost their way. We seek both justice and mercy. Working together, we believe our faith calls us to protect public safety, promote the common good, and restore community. We believe a Catholic ethic of responsibility, rehabilitation, and restoration can become the foundation for the necessary reform of our broken criminal justice system." U.S. Catholic Bishops statement, "Responsibility, Rehabilitation, and Restoration: A Catholic Perspective on Crime and Criminal Justice," November 2000. As pastoral leaders of the Roman Catholic community, we would like to continue to reflect with you on the themes of responsibility, rehabilitation and restoration in light of the reality of crime and criminal justice in our area of the country. Prisons, like wars, are public admissions of defeat for humanity. Whenever possible, alternatives for incarceration must be searched for and implemented. Such an alternative is the approach of restorative justice.1 All of us have a right to public safety and protection from violence. The criminal justice system was created when public safety was threatened, when violence occurred. Our current criminal justice system is based on retribution - those who cause suffering by committing crime are to be punished by the government for what they have done wrong.2 However, many people, including many victims of crime, think the current system is not working.

  • USCCB Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations
    NRVC chose to take a closer look at our future, challenges, and hopes... Dear Friend of NRVC, In preparation for the 2008 presidential election, Americans around the country examined their values and priorities, and compared them with those of our two presidential candidates, so that they would be well-informed about the country’s present challenges and their own hopes for the country’s future. In a similar fashion, last year NRVC chose to take a closer look at our future, our challenges and our hopes so that we can be well- informed about what lies ahead. Our first priority was to launch a major study on vocations to religious life, in collaboration with the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA), which we did in the fall. When the results are finally released later this year, the “best practices” gleaned from this study will serve as a guide for religious insti- tutes to develop their future, vocation strategies. Complementing this project, the annual VISION survey from VocationMatch.com in- dicates a rise in the number of inquiries to religious life for the third year in a row—another hopeful sign for our future! Our Executive Board is also looking to secure the future of NRVC by identifying our major priorities for the coming three years as our previous strategic plan will be completed in 2010. The need, the energy, and the passion to promote new membership in religious life are there. I felt it in Louisville, KY, where approximately 450 vocation ministers processed through the downtown streets raising vocation awareness.

Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin supported the president’s plan, stating, “A significant percentage of people in our congregations who are undocumented live in families with both U.S. citizenship and legal status. Protecting children from getting separated from their parents, and husbands from their wives, should be a sacred act and extension of our ministries. We applaud the president’s actions as consistent with the family values guiding our country.” Angie Reyes, a member of Holy Spirit Parish in Indianapolis, rejoiced during a watch party hosted by the Indianapolis As part of the entertainment at the Intercultural Ministry Awards Dinner on Nov. 15 at the Archbishop Edward T.

She said that the president’s plan provides protection for her family. “Growing up in Indianapolis, the only Intercultural Ministry dinner recognizes home I’ve had since I was 6 years old, I didn’t have hope until last year when the president’s Deferred Action Program meant ‘there are no aliens in the family of God’ I would go to college, get a good job and reach my dreams,” Reyes, 18, said.
