  • A Christian Understanding of Homosexuality
    A CHRISTIAN UNDERSTANDING OF HOMOSEXUALITY Introduction Over the past 45 years, our society has undergone a revolution – there is really no other way to describe it – in the prevailing cultural attitudes towards homosexuality and various related ‘alternative’ sexualities, an entire range of behaviors now collectively referred to by the acronym LGBTQ – Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (this last term being a catch-all for identities and behaviors that do not fit into any of the preceding categories). Most of the contemporary population has come of age during this revolution. Older readers will remember a time when if such things were even mentioned, it was usually in the form of a tasteless joke, or in the context of an insult. Indeed, the behaviors associated with homosexuality were once criminally punishable in almost every jurisdiction – federal, state, and local – in the United States, and similarly abroad. To be ‘outed’ credibly as someone who engaged in homosexual behavior usually meant that one’s reputation and career were ruined. Active homosexuals stayed carefully closeted, as they could become targets of blackmail or worse. Today, not only does our society broadly tolerate homosexual behavior, it is legally recognized and given protected status. The US Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision in June of 2015 made the United States the 22nd country to officially recognize same-sex marriage. Homosexual characters are everywhere in television and films, and the attention of social progressives is moving towards the mainstreaming of ever more exotic sexual identities. Young people are growing up in an environment where casual acceptance of homosexuality and bisexuality is increasingly seen as the norm, and where dissenters from the new orthodoxy are regarded with contempt, not only as ignorant and unenlightened, but as positively evil.

  • Report of Gifts, It Is Clear That the Mission of Holy Cross Is Recognized and Appreciated in Heartfelt and Tangible Ways by Its Alumni, Parents, Students and Friends
    COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS Report2012 of Gifts TABLE OF CONTENTS Highlights of the Year 4 The Holy Cross Fund 6 Honor Roll of Donors 12 Parent Giving 64 Honor Roll of Friends 71 Corporate and Foundation Giving 75 Front and back cover photos by John Gillooly MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT New plans stand on a firm foundation Holy Cross is celebrating a year of impressive dedication and generosity. Contributions to the College made history with a record-breaking 17,227 alumni donors. In recognition of their love and enthusiasm for Holy Cross, 55.2 percent of our alumni made a gift to the College. This achievement keeps Holy Cross among a very small and elite group of colleges and universities that can claim such extraordinary alumni support. An anonymous donor provided a $1 million challenge gift in recognition of this goal, contributing to a total of $22.9 million in donations. In addition, we saw tremendous attendance at our annual dinner of the Holy Cross Leadership Council of New York, where we honored alumnus Stan Grayson ’72. Such devotion has helped make Holy Cross the premier Jesuit liberal arts college in America. In my first few months as president, I have been deeply moved by our caring and enthusiastic Holy Cross community. Our year-end statistics are impressive by any measure, upholding our reputation as one of the country’s most-loved colleges, based on our alumni giving rate. In this Report of Gifts, it is clear that the mission of Holy Cross is recognized and appreciated in heartfelt and tangible ways by its alumni, parents, students and friends.

  • The Illicit Business of Terrorism
    The Illicit Business of Terrorism Julia Semmelbeck Inaugural dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Social Sciences in the Graduate School of Economic and Social Sciences at the University of Mannheim Date of the Oral Defense: July 27, 2020 Dean of the School of Social Sciences, University of Mannheim: Prof. Dr. Michael Diehl First Examiner: Prof. Sabine C. Carey PhD, University of Mannheim Second Examiner: Prof. Laura Dugan PhD, University of Maryland Third Examiner: Prof. Dr. Thomas Brauninger,¨ University of Mannheim iii SUMMARY OF THE DISSERTATION This dissertation addresses a key variable determining the threat posed by terrorist groups. It relates the threat posed by terrorist attacks to how capable a terrorist group is to carry out attacks. As such, it links the threat not to the willingness of a terrorist group to conduct attacks but to its ability to do so. I maintain that for any active terrorist group the willingness to commit attacks is a necessary requirement. A terrorist group’s capability, in contrast, depends on a variety of internal and external factors. Study- ing how differences in those endowments or constraints induce varying capabilities offers a tangible approach to understand the threat posed by a specific terrorist group. I argue that in order to conduct attacks, a terrorist group needs resources. This dissertation discusses different aspects of how terrorist groups generate resources. Access to resources and a terrorist group’s ability to manage resources helps to explain variation in the behavior of terrorist groups. To develop my argument I focus on the economic activities of a terrorist group, claiming that a terrorist group, just like a firm, needs to efficiently exploit its opportunities.
