The study presented here covers the period 1887 to the summer of 1898. It does not conclude with the end of a specific period in the life and work of the Servant of God, but rather with his 50th year of life. What was said in the Preface to DSS XIV remains valid also for DSS XV. Therefore, it shall not be repeated. But let it be stressed once more that the results of the historical investigations presented here are the author's sole responsibility. This is particularly true with regard to those persons who played important roles in the life of the Servant of God. They are viewed in relation to their impact on Fr. Francis of the Cross, and are not intended to convey a full picture of their personalities. However, where their paths crossed, the attitudes of these Servants of God were investi- gated no less critically than Jordan’s own. Approaching him this way shows that a person is not simply holy, but becomes holy; and that in such "holiness" there is always the shadow of human imperfection. What is presented here has neither been aimed at nor "ordered." I relied on the existing documents. At the same time it is unquestionable that the cogency of historical documents always remains humanly limited. But they deserve trust and belief whether the language they use is sober or impulsive. This matter of fact was not passed over in silence in the critical evaluation of the various documents. Further, one will see that a complete history of the Society has not been attempted here. Special events like foundations of houses or the takeover of missions have of course been regarded insofar as they played a role in Jordan’s life. However, the proper history of SDS personalities, houses and provinces remained excluded. In an appendix has been added a selection of addresses and extracts of Jordan’s weekly capitulum culpae held in the Roman community. They reflect with persuading insistence -vi- certain basic values of Salvatorian spirituality, or as expressed at that time, the "Spirit of the Founder." [Omitted in this edition; cf., DSS XXIII.] Corrections handed in and supplements to DSS XIV have not been added (contrary to DSS XIII), because they bring only secondary corrections. Special thanks to the Generalate of the Salvatorian Sisters who lent the archivistic co-operation of an assistant to the SDS postulator, Fr. Melchior Bzowski, SDS. Fr. Timotheus (Robert) Edwein, SDS. Rome, September 8, 1984, 66th anniversary of the death of the Servant of God. EDITOR’S PREFACE This volume employs the same style as the previous volume. More specifically, all of the brief material that appears in the excursus section of the German text has here been placed in footnotes to the regular text section. Now only the longer excurses appear in the section entitled “A Closer Look.” Each has been assigned a three-part identification number (e.g., 2.15/30). The first number indicates the chapter; the second its location in the order of excurses; the third number in small font indicates its original footnote number in the German text. Finally, since the material found in the German edition taken from the chapter talks of the Founder is now completely available both in German and in English (cf., DSS XXIII), it has been omitted here.

Without preparation, we may arrive at Christmas morning without first quietly considering and preparing for the gift of the Nativity. Advent is a season of quiet preparation in the home and the heart, and this atmosphere is cultivated carefully in our plans and activities. Consider first. As you consider the pages and ideas here (some are my own, most are compiled and gathered from other resources listed at the end of the book), and plan what you will bring into your own home as you set the atmosphere of preparation during Advent, please consider your family and your own time availability. One does not have to check off everything listed here to enjoy a beautiful and rich Advent! When we began celebrating the liturgical year as a family, I had a handful of holy cards, a liturgical year calendar, and a great desire to tap into the richness the Church offered through the rhythm of Her year.

  • Archbishop John J. Williams
    Record Group I.06.01 John Joseph Williams Papers, 1852-1907 Introduction & Index Archives, Archdiocese of Boston Introduction Biographical Sketch Scope and Content Content List (A-Z) Subject Index Introduction The John Joseph Williams papers held by the Archives of the Archdiocese of Boston span the years 1852-1907. The collection consists of original letters and documents from the year that Williams was assigned to what was to become St. Joseph’s parish in the West End of Boston until his death 55 years later. The papers number approximately 815 items and are contained in 282 folders arranged alphabetically by correspondent in five manuscript boxes. It is probable that the Williams papers were first put into some kind of order in the Archives in the 1930s when Fathers Robert h. Lord, John E. Sexton, and Edward T. Harrington were researching and writing their History of the Archdiocese of Boston, 1604-1943. At this time the original manuscripts held by the Archdiocese were placed individually in folders and arranged chronologically in file cabinets. One cabinet contained original material and another held typescripts, photostats, and other copies of documents held by other Archives that were gathered as part of the research effort. The outside of each folder noted the author and the recipient of the letter. In addition, several letters were sound in another section of the Archives. It is apparent that these letters were placed in the Archives after Lord, Sexton, and Harrington had completed their initial arrangement of manuscripts relating to the history of the Archdiocese of Boston. In preparing this collection of the original Williams material, a calendar was produced.

  • 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.

  • Theological Basis and Canonical Implications of Involvement of Religious in the Local Church
    1 Theological basis and Canonical Implications of Involvement of Religious in the Local Church 1. Introduction There are two states in the church – the clergy and the laity. The two groups of persons are referred to as hierarchical/institutional and charismatic/prophetic. There are different categories of people in the church – the clergy, the consecrated people and the laity. The three categories are to work in collaboration with each other in order to evangelise and build the Body of Christ. The consecrated persons/religious are in the vanguard of the mission of the church. They are encouraged to be enterprising in their initiatives and undertakings in keeping with the charismatic and prophetic nature of religious life. But they depend on the hierarchical/institutional church for discernment and approval of their charism and apostolate. Working together does cause some conflict and tensions. Hence a proper understanding of these two groups along with the theological basis of consecrated life, their roles and dependence (canonical implications), will help to clarify the relationships and bring about more effectiveness in ministry. If they work in partnership, with dialogue and mutual consultation, the church will benefit and the kingdom that Christ inaugurated will be furthered. 2. Brief History of Consecrated life How did consecrated life begin? What were its essentials? What is its present form? What was the role of the hierarchy in approving it? In order to seek an answer to these questions, we will have to look into a brief history of consecrated life. In early Christian communities there were virgins, widows and ascetics who lived a life distinguished from the ordinary life by its leaning to perfection, continence and sometimes the renunciation of riches.

  • President of the Missionary Union of the Clergy
    President of the Missionary Union of the Clergy Bshop Conforti's concern for the Church entrusted to him never distracted him from the “concern for those parts of the world where the Word of God had not yet been proclaimed.” He was convinced that the proclamation of the Gospel “ad gentes” (to the nations), was the most effective way of re-evangelizing his own people. He was untiring, therefore, in his commitment to mission evangelization and promotion, both through the work of his own missionary family, as well as supporting every missionary animation initiative in Italy and throughout the world. He was particularly committed to assisting in the foundation and spreading of the Pontifical Missionary Union of the Clergy of which he was the first president. In fact, in 1916 Guido Conforti got together with Fr Paolo Manna of the Pontifical Institute of Milan Missionary Society. The idea was to mobilize priests around the world to reawaken their awareness of having been ordained for the whole world and encourage them to heighten their people's commitment to spreading the Gospel. It was to be another legacy to the mission of the Church. The Bishop of Parma was almost like a magnet to those who felt the urgency of missionary formation of the people of God. The missionary heart of Fr. Manna, founder of PIME missionaries, had the intuition that only through the personal conversion of priests and bishops to the universal mission of the church, he could hope for a missionary re-launching. Bishop Conforti joined wholeheartedly the Missionary Union of the Clergy and helped organize and attended Mission Congresses throughout Italy: in Bergamo (1919, 1923), Rome (1920), Naples (1922), Modena (1923), and in particular in Palermo (1924) when he gave the key-note address on “The Eucharist and the Missions.” When Conforti retired from the Missionary Union of Clergy in 1927 as its first national president, the association was present in 44 Italian dioceses alone.

  • The Story of Father EDWARD MNGANGA the First Zulu Catholic Priest
    1 THE ABUSE OF A GENIUS EDWARD MULLER KECE MNGANGA -1872-1945 The Story of Father EDWARD MNGANGA The First Zulu Catholic Priest By T. S. N. GQUBULE 2 INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I was at the home of my daughter, Phumla, and her husband Tutu Mnganga when Tutu told me that there was a Roman Catholic Priest in his family who had studied in Rome. I was interested because I had written a Ph.D thesis on the Theological Education of Africans in the Anglican, Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian Ministers in South Africa during the period 1860-1960. I visited the offices of the Roman Catholic Church in Durban where that I contact Bishop Mlungisi Pius Dlungwane of the Diocese of Mariannhill. The Bishop welcomed Tutu Mnganga and myself warmly and introduced us to Father Raphael Mahlangu, a lecturer at St. Joseph’s Scholasticate, Cedara outside Pietermaritzburg. Father Mahlangu gave me valuable information and many pictures which are included in this book as well as articles which appeared in a Zulu Newspaper, “UmAfrika”. Many of these were written after the death of Edward Mnganga in 1945. I am very grateful to Professor Philippe Denis of the University of KZN who passed on to me the unpublished Ph.D. thesis of G. S. Mukuka from which I have learnt a lot about the life and work of Father Edward Mnganga. Later Mukuka’s thesis appeared in book form under the title “The Other Side of The Story” . The book details the experiences of the Black clergy in the Catholic Church in South Africa (1898-1976) and is published by Cluster Publications (2008).
