PAGE 04 CONVERSATIONS WITH BERTHA - #1 This new series will appear from time to time in Archbishop’s Pettipas’ letters. These tales are of a purely Catechetical nature, and any resemblance between Bertha and any person known to the reader is purely coincidental. Let me tell you a little bit about Bertha. Archbishop Gerard Pettipas, C.Ss.R Bertha is a convert to the Catholic Church. She was raised in a Protestant Church of some sort – one of the many small evangelical churches that these days dot any city or small town. One of her best childhood friends was a Catholic, and Bertha admired lots of what she heard about the Catholic Church, and especially the Sacraments. She loved joining her friend for Mass. It didn’t all make sense to her, but she liked it. She became a Catholic when she married her husband, who was a Catholic but a reluctant one at times. Bertha felt it was important for her small family to pray in the same church. She still had lots of questions about the Catholic Church, though, and she was not shy to ask me these, even if she sensed her question might force me into a corner. Some Catholics would be shy to ask such things, even of a priest, let alone a bishop. I think there’s still a Protestant streak in Bertha. I like to go swimming at the Eastlink Centre. Not often, but every so often I’ll run into parishioners there. The other evening, as I came out of the men’s changeroom, I bumped into Bertha as she exited the women’s change room. “Good evening, Bertha”, I greeted her. “Oh, Your Grace. So nice to see you. Are you off somewhere right now? Or could I treat you to an ice cream at this fancy parlour nearby?” “That’d be nice, thank you”, I replied. We got in our respective vehicles and met up at Menchies. This story begins with a swimming trip to Eastlink Centre in Grande Prairie. As we each made our way into our custom-made cups of frozen yogurt, Bertha began. “Your Grace, in RCIA they told us about the Catholic Church going back to Jesus’ twelve apostles. The Church that I grew up with didn’t make those sorts of claims, in the sense of a line of succession like a family tree. PAGE 05 "We took the Bible very seriously, and so I believed firmly that we go back to Jesus Christ Himself, and his teachings. We would turn to the Bible when we wanted to know God’s Word about any teaching. But the Catholic Church makes stronger claims than that. Can you tell me more what that’s all about?” “That’s a good question, Bertha. And to answer it fully, our ice cream would be either devoured or long melted. Let me try to put this as simply as possible. “As Jesus came to earth to do the Father’s Will, that is to save us from eternal death and establish the Kingdom of God, he gathered twelve apostles from among his many followers, to be especially close to Him and leaders with him. This corresponds to the twelve tribes of Israel, who were the “Kingdom of Israel”, grown out of the twelve sons of Jacob. At the Pentecost event told by Luke early in the book of Acts, we see the Holy Spirit coming upon them, giving them the spiritual gifts that they needed to become Archbishop Gerard Pettipas celebrates the 2021 Chrism Mass with the priests of the Archdiocese of Grouard-McLennan. confident and bold evangelizers, who would go forth from Jerusalem and bring Jesus’ message to the then-known world … which in those days was basically around the Mediterranean. The twelve apostles had become 11, of course, with Judas Iscariot’s suicide, but the 11 corrected that by selecting Matthias as a replacement for Judas. And you had St. Paul, after his conversion on the road to Damascus, also becoming what he called himself — an apostle. “Many people who heard the apostles and others preach about Jesus came to believe and accept the Christian message, and asked to be baptized. The Christian community spread very quickly during the first decades and centuries, even in the face of persecution by Roman emperors and other leaders who were suspicious of what they saw as a new movement or sect. In each place, the apostle who founded a Church in that area might ‘lay hands on’ and thus ordain a successor to lead that community, while he himself went on to other cities and towns. These leaders of Christian communities were called by the Greek word, episcopoi, which means ‘overseers’. We translate that word into English as bishop. So, each bishop in the Catholic Church at least is the leader of a local Church, or what we call a diocese. His spiritual lineage, like a family tree, goes all the way back to the apostles. This is what we mean when we say in the Creed at Mass every Sunday, ‘I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.’ It’s apostolic because it goes back to the apostles.” Bertha looked down at her empty ice cream cup. She looked over and saw that mine was empty as well. “Thank you for this, Your Grace. But what you just said about one, holy and catholic raises other questions for me.” “Another time”, I said.

DEEDS Dr. John M. Frymire, Thesis Advisor DECEMBER 2018 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis entitled THE PULPITS AND THE DAMNED: WITCHCRAFT IN GERMAN POSTILS, 1520- 1615 presented by Tanner H. Deeds a candidate for the degree of Master of Arts, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor John M. Frymire Professor Kristy Wilson-Bowers Professor Rabia Gregory I owe an enormous debt to my entire family; but my greatest debt is to my maternal grandmother Jacqueline Williams. Her love and teachings were instrumental in making me who I am today. Unfortunately, she passed away during the early stages of this project and is unable to share in the joys of its completion. My only hope is that whatever I become and whatever I accomplish is worthy of the time, treasure, and kindness she gave me. It is with the utmost joy and the most painful sorrow that I dedicate this work to her. ACKNOWLEGEMENTS At both the institutional and individual level, I have incurred more debts than I can ever hope to repay. Above all I must thank my advisor Dr. John Frymire. Dr. Frymire has been an exemplar advisor from my first day at the University of Missouri. Both in and out of the classroom, he has taught me more than I could have ever hoped when I began this journey.

  • Jeder Treu Auf Seinem Posten: German Catholics
    JEDER TREU AUF SEINEM POSTEN: GERMAN CATHOLICS AND KULTURKAMPF PROTESTS by Jennifer Marie Wunn (Under the Direction of Laura Mason) ABSTRACT The Kulturkampf which erupted in the wake of Germany’s unification touched Catholics’ lives in multiple ways. Far more than just a power struggle between the Catholic Church and the new German state, the conflict became a true “struggle for culture” that reached into remote villages, affecting Catholic men, women, and children, regardless of their age, gender, or social standing, as the state arrested clerics and liberal, Protestant polemicists castigated Catholics as ignorant, anti-modern, effeminate minions of the clerical hierarchy. In response to this assault on their faith, most Catholics defended their Church and clerics; however, Catholic reactions to anti- clerical legislation were neither uniform nor clerically-controlled. Instead, Catholics’ Kulturkampf activism took many different forms, highlighting both individual Catholics’ personal agency in deciding if, when, and how to take part in the struggle as well as the diverse factors that motivated, shaped, and constrained their activism. Catholics resisted anti-clerical legislation in ways that reflected their personal lived experience; attending to the distinctions between men’s and women’s activism or those between older and younger Catholics’ participation highlights individuals’ different social and communal roles and the diverse ways in which they experienced and negotiated the dramatic transformations the new nation underwent in its first decade of existence. Investigating the patterns and distinctions in Catholics’ Kulturkampf activism illustrates how Catholics understood the Church-State conflict, making clear what various groups within the Catholic community felt was at stake in the struggle, as well as how external factors such as the hegemonic contemporary discourses surrounding gender roles, class status, age and social roles, the division of public and private, and the feminization of religion influenced their activism.

  • The Christian Movement in the Second and Third Centuries
    WMF1 9/13/2004 5:36 PM Page 10 The Christian Movement 1 in the Second and Third Centuries 1Christians in the Roman Empire 2 The First Theologians 3Constructing Christian Churches 1Christians in the Roman Empire We begin at the beginning of the second century, a time of great stress as Christians struggled to explain their religious beliefs to their Roman neighbors, to create liturgies that expressed their beliefs and values, and to face persecution and martyrdom cour- ageously. It may seem odd to omit discussion of the life and times of Christianity’s founder, but scholarly exploration of the first century of the common era is itself a field requiring a specific expertise. Rather than focus on Christian beginnings directly, we will refer to them as necessitated by later interpretations of scripture, liturgy, and practice. Second-century Christians were diverse, unorganized, and geographically scattered. Paul’s frequent advocacy of unity among Christian communities gives the impression of a unity that was in fact largely rhetorical. Before we examine Christian movements, however, it is important to remind ourselves that Christians largely shared the world- view and social world of their neighbors. Polarizations of “Christians” and “pagans” obscure the fact that Christians were Romans. They participated fully in Roman culture and economic life; they were susceptible, like their neighbors, to epidemic disease and the anxieties and excitements of city life. As such, they were repeatedly shocked to be singled out by the Roman state for persecution and execution on the basis of their faith. The physical world of late antiquity The Mediterranean world was a single political and cultural unit.
