As an Historian, he also mentioned that it was first presented in 1990 on Msgr. Robert McNamara, who had published an 850-page history of the College thirty four years before. The second was conferred on former Rector Bishop Francis Reh. Three other former Rectors have received the award, Cardinal James Hickey (1993) Msgr. Kevin McCoy (2008) and Msgr. Charles Murphy (2011). Awards were also granted to priests who had served on the Staff of the Casa, Bishop Frederick Freking, Msgr. Charles Elmer, and Msgr. Bernard Yarrish. Brother Randal Riede, CFX the long-time librarian was hon- ored in 1996. Other prelates who have received the award are Cardinals William Baum, Edward Egan, and Justin Rigali. Archbishop Philip Hannan, Daniel Cronin, Oscar Lipscomb, Charles Maloney and last year John Quinn. The only Rev. to receive the award was Val Peter, Director of Boys Town for so many years. He and his brother Dr. James Peter have been generous benefactors of the college for many years. The award was conferred on three lay persons; Sir Virgil Dechant, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus (1992), Mrs. Elena Ponti, who served the college for many years (2009), and Mr. Greg Jewell, long time supporter of the college and co-Chairman of the “Vision for the Future” campaign in 2006. If anyone ever deserved the Founders Award it was Archbishop Martin J. O’Connor, whom Msgr. DiGio- vanni wrote about so fondly in his book of the revival of the College from 1945-1953 called “The Second Founder”. Unfortunately the Archbishop died three and a half years before the award was instituted. However, his spirit lives on in those he guided as seminarians, ordained priests, and friends. His memory should be revered by all alumni. ALUMNI NEWS Sr. Rebecca Abel, Library Supervisor at the North American College Library from 1996-2013 is now living at the Mother house in Ferdinand, IN.

  • The Catholic Bishops and the Rise of Evangelical Catholics
    religions Article The Catholic Bishops and the Rise of Evangelical Catholics Patricia Miller Received: 27 October 2015; Accepted: 22 December 2015; Published: 6 January 2016 Academic Editor: Timothy A. Byrnes Senior Correspondent, Religion Dispatches; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-703-519-8379 Abstract: White Catholics are increasingly trending toward the Republican Party, both as voters and candidates. Many of these Republican-leaning Catholics are displaying a more outspoken, culture-war oriented form of Catholicism that has been dubbed Evangelical Catholicism. Through their forceful disciplining of pro-choice Catholics and treatment of abortion in their quadrennial voting guides, as well as their emphasis on “religious liberty”, the U.S. bishops have played a major role in the rise of these Evangelical Catholics. Keywords: U.S. Catholic bishops; abortion; Republican; Democratic; voting 1. Introduction While the Catholic Church is associated with opposition to legalized abortion, a review of the historical record shows that the anti-abortion movement was largely fomented by the Catholic hierarchy and fueled by grassroots Evangelical opposition to abortion [1]. Lay Catholics have largely tracked general public opinion on abortion, with just over half of white Catholics saying it should be legal; polls have consistently found that only about 13% of Catholics support the position of the Catholic Church that abortion should be illegal in all circumstances [2,3]. As a result, Catholic voters have been comfortable supporting candidates who favor abortion rights, adding to their reputation as swing voters who have backed both successful Republican and Democratic presidential candidates. However, a substantial subset of white Catholic voters now appears more firmly committed to the Republican Party.

  • Priests for Life Defies Constitution and Conscience
    OPPOSITION NOTES AN INVESTIGATIVE SERIES ON THOSE WHO OPPOSE WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH Faithless Politics: Priests for Life Defies Constitution and Conscience INTRODUCTION riests for Life national director Frank Pavone has spent more than 15 years trying vainly to grow his Catholic antichoice group into the mass clerical movement P envisioned in its rhetoric, only to find himself banished to a Texan wasteland. In a country with some 40,000 Catholic priests, Priests for Life (PFL) has never claimed more than 5,000 members—and quietly stopped counting some time around the turn of the 21st century. Unapologetic electoral campaigning, and unabashed cooperation with the most militant antichoice figures, have not brought PFL membership numbers to match the New York priest’s ambitions. Pavone’s nonprofit says it is “for everyone who wants to stop abortion and euthanasia,” “not an association that seeks to be some sort of separate and elite group of priests who claim to be more pro-life than all the rest”1; it boasts the church hierarchy’s approval, strict orthodoxy and a board of archbishops and cardinals. Even by PFL’s own optimistic estimates, however, Pavone appears never to Pavone has always personalized the PFL message and have attracted a membership of more than one in five US priests. His reaction has been to all image, selling himself—often with large photos of himself but give up on the existing priesthood, which he on PFL billboards—much as a candidate for office might do. regularly castigates as too timid on abortion, and to seek to mold young priests in his image at his new Texas refuge.

I am proud to say that we have met all our obligations to the Knights supreme and State organiza- tions. Additionally, we met each of our programming, membership and insurance goals for the year qualifying us for Star Council. Past Grand Knight Bisell had the vision to achieve this in 2015. He took it personally watching all the other councils receive recognition for their efforts. It made him ask, why not us? We do all those things! He mentioned his goal of being a Star Council to us and it was received with lukewarm enthusiasm. I had my own doubts and little interest at first. I gradually arrived at his way of thinking at the following 2016 State conven- tion. I saw the same awards and the same lack of recognition for the incredible activities and results our council achieved. I had the same thoughts. We’re doing all these things. Why not us? With just a little focus in a few key areas and some extra documentation, that can be us. May / June, Quite frankly, that should be us! Bisell, let’s do it. Let’s go for Star Council! Issue 6 The brilliance of this award is the motivation and structure it provides to do all the right things.
