Carlo Emilio Gadda as Catholic and Man of Science: The Case of Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana Christopher John Ferguson Ph.D The University of Edinburgh 2012 Declaration I declare that this thesis has been composed exclusively by myself, that it is my own work and that no part of it has been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. Christopher John Ferguson Stoneyburn, 16 th of May 2012. 2 This thesis is dedicated to my mum, my dad and Sarah. 3 Abstract The present study looks at the influence that two of the major cultural forces of the twentieth century had on the output of Carlo Emilio Gadda. It grew out of a search for ways of discussing Gadda and in particular his 1957 novel Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana that would be accessible to the widest possible audience. Ten chapters in length, the study treats first the influence that Christianity and in particular Italian Catholicism had on the avowedly atheist writer over five chapters, paying attention to the saints and holy places used in Gadda’s output, then moves on to consider the importance of his scientific training as an engineer and his interest in physics in the second half. Aside from examining the text of Quer pasticciaccio and other works such as Cognizione del dolore and La Madonna dei filosofi , I have used biographical information and in particular data gleaned from research in Gadda’s own personal library. The aims of the study are to introduce the reader unfamiliar with Gadda to his work, to offer a new framework by which the Gadda scholar may consider the Gran Lombardo, and to suggest new solutions to the unending puzzle that is Quer pasticciaccio. 4 Gadda texts are referred to in the thesis by the following abbreviations: Acquainted with Grief – AG Cognizione del dolore - CDD Eros e Priapo – EP

  • Church and Theology in the Modernist Crisis
    CHURCH AND THEOLOGY IN THE MODERNIST CRISIS The first task that our subject presents us with is one of definition. According to the encyclical Pascendí dominici gregis published by Pius X in September 1907, modernism is a coherent system. Although it manifests itself in a variety of spheres and disciplines, the key to its strength and its destructiveness is its philosophy. Its two basic doctrines are "agnosticism" and "vital immanence." Their implica- tions count for most of what is distinctive in modernist theology, history, biblical criticism and apologetics. What helps to make the proponents of this system "the most pernicious of all the adversaries of the Church'" is the fact that they operate not outside but within the community of faith. They include priests and members of religious orders and they present themselves to the unwary as Church reformers. They claim to form no coherent movement but to be responding as conscientious individuals to con- temporary needs and scholarly developments. In fact, however, the encyclical ar- gues, their theories consist "in a closely connected whole, so that it is not possible to admit one without admitting all." The system represents "the synthesis of all heresies." It means "the destruction not of the Catholic religion alone, but of all religion."2 There can be no doubt about the seriousness with which the authors of the en- cyclical view the movement. It threatens "to destroy the vital energy of the Church" and "to subvert the very Kingdom of Christ."3 The pope's pastoral re- sponsibilities and in particular his task of guarding the deposit of faith do not allow him to remain silent.

Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • Sacrorum Antistitum (September 1, 1910)
    Theological Studies 71 (2010) SWEARING AGAINST MODERNISM: SACRORUM ANTISTITUM (SEPTEMBER 1, 1910) C. J. T. TALAR The historiography of Modernism has concentrated on the doctrinal issues raised by partisans of reform and their condemnation, to the relative neglect of social and political aspects. Where such connec- tions have been made the linkage has often been extrinsic: those involved in social and political reform subscribed to theses articu- lated by historical critics and critical philosophers. The connections, however, run deeper, reaching into issues surrounding authority and autonomy, ecclesiastical control of not only Catholic intellectual life but also Catholic political and social activity. This article revisits the Oath against Modernism and brings these connections into sharper resolution. “The atmosphere created by Modernism is far from being completely dissipated.”1 T MAY WELL HAVE BEEN THE CASE, given the defects of human nature Iand the effects of original sin, that ecclesiastics on more than one occa- sion violated the second commandment when they considered the effects of Roman Catholic Modernism. The reference to the motu proprio Sacrorum antistitum in my subtitle, however, indicates that a different kind of swear- ing is of interest here. As its centerpiece, the motu proprio promulgated an Oath against Modernism, prefaced by the republication, textually, of the final, disciplinary section of the antimodernist encyclical, Pascendi dominici gregis. Following the oath was an instruction originally addressed in 1894 to the bishops of Italy and to the superiors of religious congregations C. J. T. TALAR received his Ph.D. in sociology from the Catholic University of America and his S.T.D.

  • The Implementation of the Encyclical Pascendi Outline and Background of a Project
    The Reception and Application of the Encyclical Pascendi The Reports of the Diocesan Bishops and the Superiors of the Religious Orders until 1914 edited by Claus Arnold and Giovanni Vian The Implementation of the Encyclical Pascendi Outline and Background of a Project Claus Arnold (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Deutschland) Giovanni Vian (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia) Summary 1 The Concept of ‘Modernism’. – 2 The Measures Against ‘Modernism’. – 3 The Place of the Project in the Historiography on ‘Modernism’. – 4 Immediate Reactions to Pascendi. Keywords Modernism. Pius X. The name of the “conservative reform Pope” Pius X (1903-1904)1 has been linked to a ‘modernizing’ increase in efficiency of the Roman Curia and of the entire pastoral organisation of the catholic Church – with a decidedly anti-modern tendency.2 With the goal of a Christian restauration of society (Omnia instaurare in Christo; Eph 1:10), the Pope ‘reformed’ especially the church of Italy by implementing a rigorous visitation.3 Not content with the slow workings of the Roman Congregations of Index and Inquisition, Pius X envisioned new ways of control also for the church around the world in his fight against ‘modernism’.The pope’s Encyclical Pascendi dominici gregis,4 which appeared in September 1907, defined ‘modernism’ as the sum of all heresies, a kind of super-heresy of modernity.5 1 Aubert, “Pius X.”. 2 Cf. Fantappiè, Chiesa Romana e Modernità Giuridica, and the criticism by Vian, “Pio X grande riformatore?”. 3 Vian, La riforma della Chiesa. 4 On the making of Pascendi see Arnold, “Antimodernismo e magistero romano”.

  • Pope Advances Sainthood Causes, Including Brazil’
    Pope advances sainthood causes, including Brazil’s ‘Mother Teresa’ VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope Francis advanced the sainthood causes of four men and four women, including Blessed Dulce Lopes Pontes, the “Mother Teresa” of Brazil. The pope signed the decrees May 13 during a meeting with Cardinal Angelo Becciu, prefect of the Congregation for Saints’ Causes. The Vatican published the decrees May 14. The pope recognized the miracle needed for the canonization of the Brazilian nun, who was a member of the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception. Born in 1914, she was known to Brazilian Catholics as Sister Dulce, the mother of the poor. She founded the first Catholic workers’ organization in the state of Bahia, started a health clinic for poor workers and opened a school for working families. She created a hospital, an orphanage and care centers for the elderly and disabled. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by then-President Jose Sarney in 1988. St. John Paul II, who called her work “an example for humanity,” met her in 1980 during his first trip to Brazil and, returning in 1991, he visited her in the hospital. She died in 1992 at the age of 77 with tens of thousands attending her funeral and even more gathering for her beatification in 2011. Pope Francis also authorized the publication of a decree recognizing a miracle attributed to the intercession of Blessed Josephine Vannini, who was born in Rome in 1859 and died in 1911. She co-founded the Daughters of St. Camillus, who serve the sick and elderly.
