ABSTRACT SOULS IN THE BALANCE: THE “HERESY AFFAIR” AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON, 1960-67 Brown, Mary Jude University of Dayton, 2003 Director: Dr. Sandra Yocum Mize This dissertation examines the “Heresy Affair” at the University of Dayton, a series of events predominantly in the philosophy department that occurred when tensions between the Thomists and proponents of new philosophies reached crisis stage in fall 1966. The “Affair” culminated in a letter written by an assistant professor at Dayton to the Cincinnati archbishop, Karl J. Alter. In the letter, the professor cited a number of instances where “erroneous teachings” were “endorsed” or “openly advocated” by four faculty members. Concerned about the pastoral impact on the University of Dayton community, the professor asked the archbishop to conduct an investigation.

  • The Development of US Roman Catholic Church Lay Leaders
    The Development of U.S. Roman Catholic Church Lay Leaders For a Future with Fewer Priests A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education (Ed.D) in the Urban Educational Leadership program of the College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services 2013 by Gloria Jean Parker-Martin B.S., University of Cincinnati, 1974 M.B.A., Xavier University, 1979 Committee Chair: Mary Brydon-Miller, PhD ii Abstract The Catholic Church of the United States is facing a future with fewer priests. The diminishing number means many more parishes will be without a resident pastor, and some parishes will no longer have a priest available to them at all. The trend makes it more likely that new models of ministry will need to be launched to maintain Catholic faith communities throughout the country. It is likely more and more responsibility for the growth of such churches will rest with lay leaders. This study looks at the problem through the lens of Change Theory with the methodology of Action Research. This report examines the effects of the priest shortage trends on St. Anthony Parish in Madisonville, and the efforts to define the best ministerial and administrative structure for its lay people to position the parish within a Pastoral Region in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. For the U.S. Church to survive the laity must begin to take on roles that priests once held. There is a new vigor for the laity, particularly women, to assume stronger roles in the parishes.

This decision is considered to be irrevocable by the federal government. He must also notify the Priests’ Personnel Office in writing of this fact and indicate that he has made adequate provision for a similar type of pension supplement and other Social benefits, e.g., Medicare and/or Medicaid. If you have any questions, please contact Bishop Joe Binzer at 513.263.6601.

Little more than a country town, the city with its coronet of hills lay on the Northern Bank of the" Beau­ tiful River" - our much reviled, because muddy, Ohio. Who will say that the Indian eye had not a full perception of beauty and the Indian soul, instincts of poetry, when he gave to our lovely meandering stream, with its hill-capped shores, soft as velvet and green as emerald, a name from his own language, Ohio, meaning "Beautiful River." 1 1 "The Shawanoese called it Kis-ke-pi-Ia-sepe. meaning Eagle River. but the Wyandots who were in the country centuries before the Shawanoese called it 18~9-1888J SISTERS OF CHARITY OF CINCINNATI 153 We who live today at an elevation of six hundred feet above the water, and at a distance of eight miles from the smoke and noise of machinery and the rushing hum of commercial life, can form some idea of what Cin­ cinnati was to our pioneer Sisters, on the morning of October ~7, 18~9, as the boat anchored in the bend of the river and they beheld the picturesque city, guarded by forests of towering oak, black walnut, linden, "Buckeye," maple, sycamore, and other ma- A jestic trees, arrayed in their incomparable autumnal foliage.

  • Founding the Church in Ohio
    CHAPTER 6 FOUNDING THE CHURCH IN OHIO Hardly was the Dominican mission well started in Kentucky when letters to Bishop John Carroll from Ohio settlers led to a new missionary venture. It would be significant for the Order and the Catholic Church in the United States, and particularly for the first bishop of Ohio. The first letter on record was that of Jacob Dittoe who arrived in Ohio two years after it achieved statehood. In 1805 he wrote on behalf of a colony of thirty German Catholics around Lancaster, promising land for a church if the nation's first Catholic bishop could provide a priest for them.[1] A second letter was sent to Baltimore by two men of the small Ohio capital of Chillicothe near the western end of the National Road. On February 1, 1807, they wrote, We join our hands as one man in supplication to you desiring a priest, as there is no teacher of our Church in this part of the country; and if it is convenient for you to send us one we will do everything that is reasonable to support him. We have made no calculation of what might be collected yearly as we did not know whether we could be supplied or not; neither can we give a true account of the number of Catholics; but as nigh as we can come, is betwixt 30 and 40 which came from the Eastern Shore . .[2] In the summer of 1808 Bishop Carroll, having read this letter and endorsed it "Important," received Edward Fenwick on a visit from Kentucky.

Standing at the window of the Cathedral residence shortly before his death, and noticing the sisters passing by, Arch- bishop John Baptist Purcell commented to a friend, "Ah, there go the dear Sisters of Charity, the first who gave me help in all my undertakings, the zealous pioneer religious of this city, and the first female religious of Ohio,—who were never found wanting, and who always bore the brunt of the battle.' When four Sisters of Charity arrived in Cincinnati, Ohio, in Octo- ber 1829 to open an orphanage and school, they were among the trailblazers in establishing the Roman Catholic Church on a sound footing in a diocese which encompassed almost the entire Northwest Territory. These women were members of a Catholic religious com- munity founded in 1809 by Elizabeth Bayley Seton with its motherhouse in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
