I realized that on this path we are not alone, that the great multitude of saints walk with us, and the living saints, the faithful of today and tomorrow, sustain us and walk with us,” he said. “Then came the laying on of hands, and finally Cardinal Faulhaber proclaimed to us: ‘Iam non dico vos servos, sed amicos’ – ‘I do not call you servants, but friends’; at that moment, I experienced my priestly ordination as an initiation into the community of Jesus’ Assumption BVM Parish friends, called to be with him and to proclaim his message.” Moose Jaw In his June 11, 2010, homily for the conclusion of the Year for Priests, which he called to commemorate the 150th anniversary of 70th Anniversary Celebrations the death of St. John Vianney, patron saint of parish priests through- August 21, 2016 out the world, Benedict emphasized the importance of the sacra- mental element of the priesthood.

    James Bernauer, S.J. Boston College From European Anti-Jesuitism to German Anti-Jewishness: A Tale of Two Texts “Jews and Jesuits will move heaven and hell against you.” --Kurt Lüdecke, in conversation with Adolf Hitleri A Presentation at the Conference “Honoring Stanislaw Musial” Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland (March 5, 2009) The current intense debate about the significance of “political religion” as a mode of analyzing fascism leads us to the core of the crisis in understanding the Holocaust.ii Saul Friedländer has written of an “historian‟s paralysis” that “arises from the simultaneity and the interaction of entirely heterogeneous phenomena: messianic fanaticism and bureaucratic structures, pathological impulses and administrative decrees, archaic attitudes within an advanced industrial society.”iii Despite the conflicting voices in the discussion of political religion, the debate does acknowledge two relevant facts: the obvious intermingling in Nazism of religious and secular phenomena; secondly, the underestimated role exercised by Munich Catholicism in the early life of the Nazi party.iv My essay is an effort to illumine one thread in this complex territory of political religion and Nazism and my title conveys its hypotheses. First, that the centuries long polemic against the Roman Catholic religious order the Jesuits, namely, its fabrication of the Jesuit image as cynical corrupter of Christianity and European culture, provided an important template for the Nazi imagining of Jewry after its emancipation.v This claim will be exhibited in a consideration of two historically influential texts: the Monita 1 secreta which demonized the Jesuits and the Protocols of the Sages of Zion which diabolized the Jews.vi In the light of this examination, I shall claim that an intermingled rhetoric of Jesuit and Jewish wills to power operated in the imagination of some within the Nazi leadership, the most important of whom was Adolf Hitler himself.

Catholicism and the Roots of Nazism: Religious Identity and National Socialism. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2010. 312 S. $29.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-19-539024-7. Reviewed by Todd Weir (Queen's University, Belfast) Published on H-German (November, 2010) Commissioned by Benita Blessing Was the Early NSDAP a Confessional Party? Given the growing number of studies charting the complicity of segments of the Protestant lay and clerical leadership with National Socialism, it comes as no surprise that historians are also turning up skeletons in the closet of Germany's Catholic community. What is surprising about Derek Hastings's monograph is the time frame he charts for Catholic complicity with the Nazi movement. Whereas the course of Protestant entanglement appears as an ascending line through the final phase of the Weimar Republic, Hastings argues that Catholic involvement with the Nazi movement was substantial and even critical in the first years of the movement, until relations soured in the run-up to and aftermath of the "Beer Hall Putsch" of October 1923. Thereafter both the NSDAP and the Catholic Church were happy to sweep the memory of this interlude under the carpet. Hastings begins his study by alerting the reader to the peculiarities of Catholic politics in Bavaria, and particularly in its capital. Although predominantly Catholic, the voters of Munich gave the Center Party a scant 15.9 percent of their votes in the Reichstag election of 1912.

Recent scholarship presents a complex picture in Europe both before and immediately after the Second World War, both in the local churches and at the Vatican.

Stahnisch (Guest Editor)1 Abstract: The processes of long-term migration of physicians and scholars affect both the academic migrants and their receiving environments in often dramatic ways. On the one side, their encounter confronts two different knowledge traditions and personal values. On the other side, migrating scientists and academics are also confronted with foreign institutional, political, economic, and cultural frameworks when trying to establish their own ways of professional knowledge and cultural adjustments. The twentieth century has been called the century of war and forced migration: it witnessed two devastating World Wars, which led to an exodus of physicians, scientists, and academics. Nazism and Fascism in the 1930s and 1940s, forced thousands of scientists and physicians away from their home institutions based in Central and Eastern Europe.

  • To a Millennial Kingdom: the Nazi Aryanization of Christianity
    TO A MILLENIAL KINGDOM: THE NAZI ARYANIZATION OF CHRISTIANITY Daniel Lucca Honors Thesis: Department of History University of Colorado Boulder Defense Date: April 5th, 2018 Defense Committee: Primary Advisor: Dr. David Shneer, Department of History Outside Advisor: Dr. Saskia Hintz, Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures Honors Council Representative: Dr. Matthew Gerber, Department of History Dan Lucca To a Millennial Kingdom: The Nazi Aryanization of Christianity One of the most defining characteristics of the Nazi regime was a virulent antisemitism, which manifested itself in the ideology and actions of the Nazi leaders and party. For instance, in his work Mein Kampf (My Struggle), Hitler demonstrated virulent antisemitism by portraying the Jew as a parasitic being that corrupts others. As parasites, Hitler believed that Jews are “people without any true culture, especially their own.”1 This disdain for the Jews manifested itself in many hateful laws and acts. one of the most important being the strategy of Arisierung (Aryanization), which began in 1933. The process of Aryanization, according to Roderick Stackelberg and Sally A. Winkle, largely refers to the process of confiscating and selling off of Jewish property.2 However, Aryanization also encompassed the process of the removal everything that was Jewish or perceived to have Jewish influence from Germany. Besides the confiscation of Jewish property, the process of Aryanization included, but was not limited to: the destruction of Jewish books in book burnings, the exclusion of Jews from participating in national sports teams, and the the removal from Jews from the civil service and professions, the ban on Jews performing German music, and many other laws that seeped into every aspect of German society and culture during the Third Reich.

  • OSKAR ROSE (Groß Strehlitz, Former Upper Silesia, Now Poland, January 27, 1906 – 1968)
    OSKAR ROSE (Groß Strehlitz, former Upper Silesia, now Poland, January 27, 1906 – 1968) Oskar Rose was born on January 27, 1907, to Anton and Lisetta Rose in Groß Strehlitz (then Upper Silesia). His brother, Vinzenz Rose, was two years his junior. In the early 1930s, the family lived in Darmstadt. Anton Rose ran a successful cinema company, where his sons also worked. The Rose family, who were Sinti, suffered discrimination. As early as 1934, Anton Rose was expelled from the Reichsfilmkammer (Reich Chamber of Film) He challenged his expulsion, but eventually, in 1937, Nazis shut down the cinema, and he and his family were deprived of their livelihoods. To avoid impending arrest, the family, who now lived in Frankenthal (Palatine), decided to flee. On October 21, 1940, the family members went into hiding. Over the next few years, they stayed in different places, including in Image: Documentation and Cultural Centre of German Sinti and Roma Czechoslovakia. Sadly, most of the family members were captured, arrested and deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp in 1943. Oskar Rose, however, was able to avoid being arrested, staying hidden from the authorities with forged papers. In Munich, in the spring of 1943, he tried to get in touch with various high-ranking representatives of the Catholic Church. Despite of the risk, Rose contacted the Catholic Archbishop and Cardinal Michael von Faulhaber to inform them about the plans in place to kill the Sinti and Roma, and the imminent deportations. Requesting his assistance, he was refused an audience with the Cardinal. The two letters sent by Rose to the President of the Episcopal Conference of Fulda, Cardinal Adolf Bertram, and the Archbishop Conrad Gröber of Freiburg, resulted in similar outcomes.

It concerns itself with topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially United States Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces through its publication, STUDIES IN THE SPIRITUALITY OF JESUITS. This is done in the spirit of Vatican LT's recommendation that religious institutes recapture the original inspiration of their founders and adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar welcomes reactions or comments in regard to the material that it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the United States. The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, and laity, to both men and women. Hence, the journal, while meant especially for American Jesuits, is not exclusively for them. Others who may find it helpful are cordially welcome to make use of it. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR Robert L. Bireley, S.J., teaches history at Loyola University, Chicago, IL (2001). Richard A.

Introduction: Scheffczyk’s Theological Œuvre The shortest way to introduce Leo Scheffczyk (1920– 2005) to an American theological audience is probably to state that he is “the European Avery Dulles.” Such a generalization is incorrect and yet contains a kernel of truth.1 At the same consistory in 2001, both master theologians were created cardinals by St. John Paul II. It is also most indicative of their contributions to theology that this date coincided with the 200th birthday of Blessed Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801–90), who informed their thinking in central ways.
