    Peter A. Redpath Adler-Aquinas Institute, Colorado Springs, USA Pope Francis, Common Sense and Contemporary Ecological Science (The Green New Deal as Neo-Catharism in Drag) Introduction Before starting my presentation today, I want to thank Professor Piotr Jaroszyńki for, once again, inviting me to give a tale at this annual Man in Culture international conference. While I would much prefer to be able to be present with you physically in Po- land, I am pleased I can at least join you virtually today to speak about an issue of pressing historical and philosophical importan- ce. Being at present 75 years old, I have lived through the papacy of 6 popes: Pius XII, John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, and Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio). During this time, I have never experienced a pope as politically divisive among Catholics and Christians in general and as intensely disli- ked by people who tend to identify themselves as believing, or- thodox Catholics as is Pope Francis. Among people often referred to as ‘Practicing’ (not ‘Cafeteria’) Catholics, ‘Evangelical Chri- stians,’ and other denominational Christians who try to put into practice tenets faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ as passed on to posterity by the Apostles, Pope Francis tends to be as inten- sely disliked today as is Donald Trump among the global political Left. 264 Peter A. Redpath Why is this? What is the psychological disposition of Pope Francis that causes so many traditionally-minded Catholics and other Christians to dislike him so much and to wish for him simply to go away as soon as possible.

    International Marian Association Letter to Cardinal Mueller

    International Marian Association Letter to Cardinal Mueller 31 May 2017 Eminence, Gerhard Cardinal Müller Prefect, Congregation for the Doctrine on Faith Piazza del S. Uffizio, 11 00193 Roma, Italy Your Eminence: We, Executive Members of the International Marian Association, which consti- tutes over 100 theologians, cardinals, bishops, clergy, religious and lay leaders from 5 continents, wish to, first of all, thank you for the many excellent and courageous articulations and defenses of our holy Catholic Faith, as contained in your recently released, The Cardinal Müller Report. At the same time, we are obliged to express to you our grave concern regarding your comment from the text when you state: “(for example, the Church … does not call her [Mary] “co-redeemer,” because the only Redeemer is Christ, and she herself has been redeemed sublimiore modo, as Lumen Gentium [n. 53] says, and serves this redemption wrought exclusively by Christ… (p. 133). You unfortunately refer to this term as an example of false exaggeration: “falsely exaggerating per excessum, attributing to the Virgin what is not attributable to her” (Ibid.). Your Eminence, in making this statement, albeit as a private theologian since a public interview carries no authoritative or magisterial status, you have publicly stated: 1) a theologically and historically erroneous position, since the Church undeni- ably has and does call Mary a co-redeemer; and 2) a position which, in itself, materially dissents from the repeated and authoritative teachings of the Papal Magisterium, the historical teachings from your own Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (Holy Office)and other Vatican Congregations; the pre- and post-conciliar teachings of the Magisterium as expressed through numerous cardinals, bishops and national episcopal conferences; teachings of the broader Church, inclusive of multiple can- onized saints and blessed who all do, in fact, assent to and theologically expand upon the authentic Magisterial teachings of the Church concerning Mary as a co- redeemer.

    Russia's Imperial Encounter with Armenians, 1801-1894

    CLAIMING THE CAUCASUS: RUSSIA’S IMPERIAL ENCOUNTER WITH ARMENIANS, 1801-1894 Stephen B. Riegg A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Louise McReynolds Donald J. Raleigh Chad Bryant Cemil Aydin Eren Tasar © 2016 Stephen B. Riegg ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Stephen B. Riegg: Claiming the Caucasus: Russia’s Imperial Encounter with Armenians, 1801-1894 (Under the direction of Louise McReynolds) My dissertation questions the relationship between the Russian empire and the Armenian diaspora that populated Russia’s territorial fringes and navigated the tsarist state’s metropolitan centers. I argue that Russia harnessed the stateless and dispersed Armenian diaspora to build its empire in the Caucasus and beyond. Russia relied on the stature of the two most influential institutions of that diaspora, the merchantry and the clergy, to project diplomatic power from Constantinople to Copenhagen; to benefit economically from the transimperial trade networks of Armenian merchants in Russia, Persia, and Turkey; and to draw political advantage from the Armenian Church’s extensive authority within that nation. Moving away from traditional dichotomies of power and resistance, this dissertation examines how Russia relied on foreign-subject Armenian peasants and elites to colonize the South Caucasus, thereby rendering Armenians both agents and recipients of European imperialism. Religion represented a defining link in the Russo-Armenian encounter and therefore shapes the narrative of my project. Driven by a shared ecumenical identity as adherents of Orthodox Christianity, Armenians embraced Russian patronage in the early nineteenth century to escape social and political marginalization in the Persian and Ottoman empires.
