  • The Gospel According to a Personal View Owen O'sullivan OFM Cap
    The Gospel according to MARK: a personal view Owen O’Sullivan OFM Cap. 1 © Owen O’Sullivan OFM Cap., 2007. 2 The Gospel according to MARK: a personal view Contents Page Preface iv Sources used v Introduction 1 Main Text 6 3 Preface I was stationed in the Catholic parish of Christ the Redeemer, in Lagmore, West Belfast, Northern Ireland, between 2001 and 2007. When the liturgical year 2005-06 began on the first Sunday of Advent, 27 November 2005, with the Gospel of Mark as the Sunday Gospel, I decided to begin a study of it, in order to learn more about it and understand it better, and, hopefully, to be able to preach better on it at Sunday Mass. I also hoped that this study would be of benefit to me in my faith. It was never on my mind, then or now, that it be published. It is not good enough for that. I have had no formal training in scripture studies, other than what I learned in preparing for the priesthood. Mostly, it has been a matter of what I learned in later years from reflection in daily prayer and personal study, of which I did a good deal. It took me more than a year to complete the study of Mark, but I found that it carried me along, and I wanted to bring it to completion. I was glad to be able to do that early in 2007. The finished product I printed and bound principally for my own use, simply to make it 4 easier to refer to for study or preaching.

  • Guide for the War Below/Underground Soldier
    Underground Soldier, by Marsha Skrypuch Teacher’s Guide Summary In 1943, in the midst of World War II, Luka is an injured slave labourer in a Nazi work camp. He escapes in a wagon of corpses and tries to walk back home to Kyiv in the hopes of finding his father who had been imprisoned in Siberia by the Soviets (Luka's mother was captured by the Nazis and is a slave labourer at an unknown camp). Instead of walking away from the war, he ends up walking right into the Front. He is saved by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, a multi-ethnic group of underground freedom fighters who steal weapons from the Nazis and the Soviets and fight both of these brutal regimes. Luka joins and fights with them, but he never loses his desire to find his parents and somehow be reunited with his beloved Lida, who he last saw at the slave labour camp. Underground Soldier is a companion novel to Stolen Child and Making Bombs for Hitler. Historical Background World War II is popularly viewed as the war against Hitler and the Nazis, and while this is largely true from a western perspective, to Ukrainians, Poles, and other Slavs whose homelands were the battleground, the Nazis were not the only enemy. Stalin and the Soviets also committed genocide before and during World War II, and they were responsible for even more deaths than the Nazis. Why are Hitler's crimes common knowledge and Stalin's are not? In part, because Stalin was allied with us during the latter part of WWII.

  • Gender Roles & Occupations
    1 Gender Roles & Occupations: A Look at Character Attributes and Job-Related Aspirations in Film and Television Stacy L. Smith, PhD Marc Choueiti Ashley Prescott & Katherine Pieper, PhD Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism University of Southern California An Executive Report Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media Our earlier research shows that gender roles are still stereotyped in entertainment popular with children.1 For example, female characters in feature films populate less than 30% of all speaking roles. A slightly better percentage emerges across our research on gender roles in children’s television programming. Not only are on screen females present less frequently than on screen males, they are often sexualized, domesticated, and sometimes lack gainful employment. To illustrate this last point, our recent analysis2 of every first run general audience film (n=21) theatrically released between September 2006 and September 2009 reveals that a higher percentage of males (57.8%) than females (31.6%) are depicted with an occupation. While females hold marginally more professional jobs than their male counterparts (24.6% vs. 20.9%), women are noticeably absent in some of the most prestigious occupational posts. Across more than 300 speaking characters, not one female is depicted in the medical sciences (e.g., doctor, veterinarian), executive business suites (e.g., CEO, CFO), legal world (e.g., attorney, judge), or political arena. More optimistically, 6 of the 65 working females (9%) are shown with a job in the hard sciences or as pilots/astronauts. These findings suggest that females have not shattered as many glass ceilings in the “reel” world as one might suspect.
