Catholics and Jews: and for the Sentiments Expressed
Archdiocesan News A PUBLICATION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF CAPE TOWN • ISSUE NO 81 • JULY-SEPTEMBER 2016 • FREE OF CHARGE WORLD YOUTH DAY 2016 At the end of July an Archdiocesan contingent of seven young people (and Fr Charles) headed to Poland to be a part of World Youth Day 2016. They spent some days in Czestochowa Diocese in the small town of Radonsko, experiencing Polish hospitality and visiting the shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa. Then they headed off to Krakow for various activities and an encounter with millions of other pilgrims from all over the world, culminating in an all-night vigil and Mass with Pope Francis. Claremont Mosque condemns killing of Catholic Priest PRESS STATEMENT – 26 JULY 2016 CMRM Condemns Inhumane Killing of Catholic Priest The Claremont Main Road Mosque (CMRM) congregation strongly con- demns the brutal killing of an 85 year-old Catholic priest by two ISIS/Da`ish supporters during a Mass at a Church in Normandy, France. The inhumane and gruesome killing of the elderly Father Jacques Hamel and the sacrili- geous violation of a sacred prayer space bears testimony to the merciless ideology of Da`ish. It is apparent that Da`ish is hell-bent on fuelling a reli- gious war between Muslims and Christians. However, their war is a war on humanity and our response should reflect a deep respect for the sanctity of all human life. This tragic incident should spur us to redouble our efforts at reaching out to each other across religious divides. Our thoughts and prayers are with the congregation of the Church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray and the Catholic Church at large. -
Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England
Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England by Christian D. Knudsen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of the Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto Copyright © by Christian D. Knudsen ABSTRACT Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England Christian D. Knudsen Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto This dissertation examines monastic sexual misconduct in cloistered religious houses in the dioceses of Lincoln and Norwich between and . Traditionally, any study of English monasticism during the late Middle Ages entailed the chronicling of a slow decline and decay. Indeed, for nearly years, historiographical discourse surrounding the Dissolution of Monasteries (-) has emphasized its inevitability and presented late medieval monasticism as a lacklustre institution characterized by worsening standards, corruption and even sexual promiscuity. As a result, since the Dissolution, English monks and nuns have been constructed into naughty characters. My study, centred on the sources that led to this claim, episcopal visitation records, will demonstrate that it is an exaggeration due to the distortion in perspective allowed by the same sources, and a disregard for contextualisation and comparison between nuns and monks. In Chapter one, I discuss the development of the monastic ‘decline narrative’ in English historiography and how the theme of monastic lasciviousness came to be so strongly associated with it. Chapter two presents an overview of the historical background of late medieval English monasticism and my methodological approach to the sources. ii Abstract iii In Chapter three, I survey some of the broad characteristics of monastic sexual misconduct. -

The Bishop's Secret by Fergus Hume, Author of "The Mystery of a Hansom Cab," "For the Defense," "The Harlequin Opal," "The Girl from Malta," Etc
THE BISHOP'S SECRET BY FERGUS HUME, AUTHOR OF "THE MYSTERY OF A HANSOM CAB," "FOR THE DEFENSE," "THE HARLEQUIN OPAL," "THE GIRL FROM MALTA," ETC. CHICAGO AND NEW YORK: RAND, McNALLY & COMPANY, PUBLISHERS. Copyright, 1900, by Rand, McNally & Co. Copyright, 1906, by Rand, McNally & Co. PREFACE. In his earlier works, notably in "The Mystery of a Hansom Cab" and "The Silent House in Pimlico," Mr. Hume won a reputation second to none for plot of the stirring, ingenious, misleading, and finally surprising kind, and for working out his plot in vigorous and picturesque English. In "The Bishop's Secret," while there is no falling off in plot and style, there is a welcome and marvelous broadening out as to the cast of characters, representing an unusually wide range of typical men and women. These are not laboriously described by the author, but are made to reveal themselves in action and speech in a way that has, for the reader, all the charm of personal intercourse with living people. Mr. Hume's treatment of the peculiar and exclusive ecclesiastical society of a small English cathedral city is quite worthy of Anthony Trollope, and his leading character, Bishop Pendle, is equal to Trollope's best bishop. The Reverend Mr. Cargrim, the Bishop's poor and most unworthy protegè, is a meaner Uriah Heep. Mrs. Pansey is the embodiment of all shrewishness, and yields unlimited amusement. The Gypsies are genuine—such as George Borrow, himself, would have pictured them— not the ignorant caricatures so frequently drawn by writers too lazy to study their subject. -

For God and Country: The Religious Right, the Reagan Administration, and the Cold War A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Jeremy R. Hatfield May 2013 © 2013 Jeremy R. Hatfield. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled For God and Country: The Religious Right, The Reagan Administration, and the Cold War by JEREMY R. HATFIELD has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach, Jr. Associate Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT HATFIELD, JEREMY R., Ph.D., May 2013, History For God and Country: The Religious Right, the Reagan Administration, and the Cold War Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach, Jr. In the late 1970s, a number of prominent evangelical ministers decided to become actively involved in American politics. Dubbed the New Christian Right by some, the Religious Right or the Christian Right by others, these figures immediately became very vocal about the need to restore morality to American society and to insure that the United States retained its position as a preeminent military power in the world. This dissertation examines the Religious Right’s activism in matters of American foreign policy from the late 1970s through the end of the Cold War. It illuminates the underlying theological and political beliefs that characterized the Religious Right’s politics, and explains how the Religious Right became politicized. It also demonstrates that foreign affairs played a more prominent role in the activism of the Religious Right than many historians have realized. -
Parochial Vicarages in Lincgln Diocese During the Thirteenth Century
PAROCHIAL VICARAGES IN LINCGLN DIOCESE DURING THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY By PATRICK BRUCE MCGUIGAN Bachelor of Arts Gklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1976 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1979 .d-~.l. / l~lq M/4Qr ~.'L : I • Name: Patrick Bruce McGuigan D~te of Degree: May 12, 1979 Institution: Oklahoma State University Location: Stillwater, Oklahoma Title of Study: PAROCHIAL VICARAGES IN LINCOLN DIOCESE DURING THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY Pages in Study: 101 Candidate for Degree of Master of Arts Major Field: History Scope and Method of ~tudy: The aim of ' this study was to examine conditions in the parochial vicarages of Lincoln Diocese during the thirteenth century. Changes in the vicarage system were made due to the reforming efforts of the Bishops of Lincoln: Hugh of Welles, Robert Grosseteste, Richard Gravesend, and Oliver Sutton. Primary ~ource materials in the form of bishops' registers and episcopal letters provided the bulk of the information utilized in this study, although other primary materials were also used. Modern authorities were consulted to aid in under standing the effects of inflation on church values and vicaral income. Findings and Conclusions: The analysis indicated that because of the efforts of Lincoln's bishops, major reforms in the administration of vicarages were brought about by the end of the century. However, in a significant number of cases severe problems remained. Despite the best intentions of the four bishops, ·· their diocese was only part of a much larger system designed for the convenience of wealthy church and secular officials. -
Liam Kelly OFM Writes of a Recent Parish Mission, 16 One of Several Conducted by the Friars in Ireland in Recent Years
St Anthony Brief IRISH FRANCISCAN MISSION MAGAZINE No .3 ApR/MAy 2016 €2.00 ✣✣ Healing the Wound of Shame ✣✣ The Art of Moral Courage ✣✣ A Rebel’s Story Spirit and Life pope francis’ heresy? Everything in the Lord speaks of mercy. Nothing in him is devoid of compassion. Do not be afraid of his tenderness! His closeness and tenderness! This may sound like heresy, but it is the greatest truth! It is more difficult to let God love us, than to love him! The best way to love the Lord in return is to open our hearts and let him love us. This is really very difficult: letting ourselves be loved by him. And that is perhaps what we need to ask: 'Lord, I want to love you, but teach me the difficult art, the difficult habit of letting myself be loved by you, to feel you close and feel your tenderness!’ Let us allow our hearts to be touched. Let us allow ourselves to be warmed by the tenderness of God. We need his caress. – Pope Francis St Anthony Brief SStt AAnntthhoonnyy BBrriieeff 2 Spirit and Life. 4 From the Editor.
