On Oct. 23, Librarian of Congress James H.

  • Bishop William T. Mccarty, C.Ss.R. Papers
    Bishop William T. McCarty, C.Ss.R. Papers Baltimore Province of the Redemptorists Archives 7509 Shore Road Brooklyn, New York 11209-2807 The scope of the papers of Bishop William T. McCarty, C.Ss.R., a member of the Baltimore Province of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, encompasses letters, manuscripts (including memoirs), notebooks, articles, news clippings, and photographs, dating from c. 1889 to as late as 1973, the year following his death. The collection is especially important—however partial—for research on the history of the Catholic Church in Rapid City, South Dakota, and for his activities as the Military Delegate. Of particular interest are the numbers of items related to the Indian missions. The entirety of the collection is open to qualified researchers. Consultation of these materials will be at the discretion of the Province Archivist. Biography: William Tiburtus (sometimes Tiburtius; in his own autobiography it is Tiburtus) McCarty was born August 11, 1889, on a farm a short distance from Crossingville, Pennsylvania, to Timothy C. and Margaret (neé Burns) McCarty. At birth he weighed a mere 3 pounds and the midwife baptized him on the spot. The next Sunday, however, a more formal, though conditional, baptism took place in the Church of St. Philip in Crossingville, where his parents had been married in September 1875. He was the third and last of the couple’s three children, which included Maryanne and Frank. Three brothers predeceased William—John, Jeremiah, and James—all of whom died in infancy. From 1880 until her death in 1891, his mother was an invalid who could barely get out of bed.

The Syrian Orthodox in their Historical and Artistic Settings 2.1 Northern Mesopotamia and Mosul The blossoming of ‘Syrian Orthodox art’ during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries is mainly attested for Northern Mesopotamia. At the time, Northern Mesopotamia was commonly known as the Jazira (Arabic for ‘island’), a geographic entity encompassing roughly the territory which is located between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, and lies north of Baghdad and south of Lake Van. 1 In ecclesiastical terms, this region is called Athur (Assyria). 2 Early Islamic historians and geographers distinguished three different districts: Diyar Mudar, Diyar Bakr, and Diyar Rabi cah. Today, these districts correspond more or less to eastern Syria, south-eastern Turkey, and northern Iraq, respectively. Mosul was the capital of the Diyar Rabi cah district, which ‘extended north from Takrit along both banks of the Tigris to the tributary Ba caynatha river a few kilometres north of Jazirat ibn cUmar (modern Cizre) and westwards along the southern slopes of the Tur cAbdin as far as the western limits of the Khabur Basin’.

Dick (Catholic University of Leuven) Published on H-Catholic (October, 2017) Commissioned by Carolina Armenteros Hunthausen and Sullivan: Prophetic US Bishops In 1962, gathered from around the world, 2,540 bishops were present for the opening session of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). The US delegation of 241 members was second in size only to that of Italy. Vatican II had a major impact on US bishops and inspired them to issue two remarkable pastoral letters in the 1980s: “The Challenge of Peace” and “Economic Justice for All.” Many of the bishops involved in the tense drama of the council are now deceased. Fifty years after the closing of the Second Vatican Council, therefore, two biographies of US bishops animated and shaped by the vision and message of Vatican II deserve special attention. These biographies of prophetic US bishops—Walter F. Sullivan (1928-2012) and Raymond G. Hunthausen (1921-)—detail how the spirit of Vatican II shaped their ministry and the institutional sanctions they endured following that inspiration.
