Allegations Against Cardinal Mccarrick Raise Difficult Questions
Allegations against Cardinal McCarrick raise difficult questions A new allegation of child sexual abuse was leveled against Cardinal Theodore McCarrick last Thursday, one month after the June announcement that he had been suspended from priestly ministry following an investigation into a different charge of sexual abuse on the part of the cardinal. Along with emerging accounts from priests and former seminarians of sexual coercion and abuse by McCarrick, those allegations paint a picture of McCarrick’s sexual malfeasance that may be among the most grave, tragic, and, for many Catholics, infuriating, as any in recent Catholic history. From all corners of the Church, questions are being raised about those who might have known about McCarrick’s misconduct, about how the Church will now handle the allegations against McCarrick, and about what it means for the Church that a prominent, powerful, and reportedly predatory cleric was permitted to continue in ministry for decades without censure or intervention. Because McCarrick was a leading voice in the Church’s 2002 response to the sexual abuse crisis in the United States, and an architect of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Dallas Charter of the same year, the credibility of that response has also, for some, come into question. For parents and others who placed trust in the Church to secure a safe environment for children, those questions are especially important. At the USCCB’s 2002 Spring Assembly in Dallas, the bishops drafted their Charter for the Protection of Young People and the Essential Norms for Diocesan/Eparchial Policies Dealing with Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests or Deacons, under intense media scrutiny. -

Readers come together to celebrate their love of books. Not all, but many are members of book clubs. We are after all the only book club festival in the country. Audiences in 2017 will be guaranteed their festival favourites – the perennial 10 Books You Should Read, as well as a stellar line up for our Sunday Symposium on Sports & Politics. 2017 is also a year in which we evolve in new directions: we host our first Children’s Book Club, welcome the Laureate for Irish Fiction, The Irish Times and the Rick O’Shea Book Clubs, and we’re delighted to be collaborating with Clare County Library on Teen Week. Throw into the mix Paul Durcan, Rose Tremain, Little John Nee and the arrival of thousands of book club members, and you’re in for something singular in Irish literary culture.

Frank McGuinness’s The Match Box “Grief softens the mind,” says Shakespeare’s great character Queen Margaret – it makes people “fearful and degenerate”. There’s only one valid response to such feelings, she claims: “Think on revenge and cease to weep.” In making those remarks, Margaret places herself in a long line of heroines whose desire for revenge is both glorious and horrifying. Her precursors are figures like Sophocles’ Electra and Euripides’ Hecuba; her ancestors include Hester Swayne in Marina Carr’s brutal By the Bog of Cats. All of those women choose vengeance over grief - and in doing so they go beyond good and evil, committing terrible acts that we can nevertheless understand and perhaps even admire. The plays that dramatize their stories are thus both mythic and intimate: they reveal aspects of the human condition that we all recognize (much as we might prefer not to), and they show how one person’s decisions can unravel a family, a society, or an entire world. -
Irish Authors Collections Guide 18 August 2020 English Literature Is One of the Two Greatest Strengths of the Rosenbach's Libr
Irish Authors Collections Guide 18 August 2020 English Literature is one of the two greatest strengths of the Rosenbach’s library collections (the other being American history). What we usually call English Literature is more precisely the English-language literature of Great Britain, Ireland, and surrounding islands. Some of the greatest writers in the English language have been Irish. Dr. Rosenbach certainly recognized this, and although we don't know that he had a special interest in Irish writers as such, it means that he did collect a number of them. His interest was chiefly in pre-20th-century literature, so apart from James Joyce there are few recent writers represented. Although they are not segregated by country of origin on the Rosenbach shelves, this guide highlights Irish authors as a particular sub-set of English-language authors. The guide is arranged in alphabetical order by author’s last name, and in the instances of James Joyce, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde, the list is further broken down by collections category. Throughout this guide, all objects owned by Dr. Rosenbach are marked with an asterisk (*). Those marked with double (**) are part of Philip Rosenbach’s gift to the Foundation on January 12, 1953, consisting partly of objects from Dr. Rosenbach’s estate. This guide will be updated periodically to reflect new acquisitions and further cataloging of the Rosenbach collections. Objects acquired since 2014 are marked with a “+”. For further information on any item listed on this collections guide, please contact us at https://rosenbach.org/research/make-an-inquiry/.

The young James Joyce described him as ‘the national poet’,3 but Mangan’s leanings were international, and his delight in the East emerged in a series of six articles on Oriental poetry, titled ‘Literæ Orientales’, published in the Dublin University Magazine between September 1837 and January 1846. -
Jonathan Swift Address by Dr Don Thornhill, St Patrick's Cathedral
Jonathan Swift Address by Dr Don Thornhill, St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin, 17 October, 2010 I would like to thank my friend and neighbour from Co Waterford, the Very Reverend Dr Robert McCarthy for giving me the honour and pleasure of speaking here this afternoon. But some caveats and acknowledgements are in order. As regards the caveats I hope that in inviting me here, as the Dean himself wrote, to speak, and I quote, “on any aspect of Swift”, the Dean was not, like his predecessor, being ironic. I am not a historian or a literary scholar. My interests are some distance away in economic policy, taxation and competitiveness, public sector reform and education policy. In the arenas where these topics are discussed I and other have preached from time to time – but never before from a pulpit! But I was helped by the patience, support and critical contributions (critical in both senses of the word!) of my family, particularly Maura, and of my friends during the past few months. I would like to thank Dr Ronan Kelly, author of Bard of Erin, a much acclaimed biography of Thomas Moore, who gave me essential advice and guidance. In our current economic circumstances it would, of course be tempting in response to the Dean’s invitation by quoting liberally from Swift’s commentaries on human foolishness and injustices. His saeva indignatio/ savage indignation, some of which he directed at bankers, undoubtedly has a contemporary resonance 1. A “What would Swift say if he were alive today ” exercise could be entertaining and maybe cause some bitter amusement but others are better equipped to do it. -

Contemporary challenges are great, but that they can be Cardinal Daniel N. addressed without DiNardo anger and with love Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston said in his first address as USCCB president during the bishops’ fall general assembly. “We are facing a time that seems more divided than ever,” Cardinal DiNardo said. “Divisions over health care, conscience protections, immigration and refugees, abortion, physician-assisted suicide, gender ideologies, the meaning of marriage and all the other headlines continue to be hotly debated. But our role continues to be witnessing the Gospel.” See related He explained that column, page 4. the National Catholic War Council, created by the U.S. bishops in 1917 in the response to the world refugee crisis that emerged from World War I and the forerunner to the USCCB, was formed to address great national and international needs at a time not unlike today. He said the history of the Catholic Church in America is full of examples of the work of “holy men and women” responding to social challenges. -
Genre and Identity in British and Irish National Histories, 1541-1691
“NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 A dissertation presented by Sarah Elizabeth Connell to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2014 1 “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 by Sarah Elizabeth Connell ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April 2014 2 ABSTRACT In this project, I build on the scholarship that has challenged the historiographic revolution model to question the valorization of the early modern humanist narrative history’s sophistication and historiographic advancement in direct relation to its concerted efforts to shed the purportedly pious, credulous, and naïve materials and methods of medieval history. As I demonstrate, the methodologies available to early modern historians, many of which were developed by medieval chroniclers, were extraordinary flexible, able to meet a large number of scholarly and political needs. I argue that many early modern historians worked with medieval texts and genres not because they had yet to learn more sophisticated models for representing the past, but rather because one of the most effective ways that these writers dealt with the political and religious exigencies of their times was by adapting the practices, genres, and materials of medieval history. I demonstrate that the early modern national history was capable of supporting multiple genres and reading modes; in fact, many of these histories reflect their authors’ conviction that authentic past narratives required genres with varying levels of facticity. -

Transnational Ireland on Stage: America to Middle East in Three Texts
Transnational Ireland on Stage: America to Middle East in Three Texts Wei H. Kao Introduction: Between the Local and the Global on the Irish Stage Historically, the comprehensive Anglicisation of Ireland from the early nineteenth century, and the geopolitical location of Ireland in Europe, have laid the foundations for more Irish participation on the world stage. The rapid globalisation process, however, has not fully removed the frustration buried deep in the Irish psyche about the country still being in partition, but it has encouraged many contemporary playwrights to express concerns regarding other areas that are just as troubled as the state of their country, despite the fact that the Northern Ireland issue is not yet fully resolved. It is noteworthy that globalisation, as the continuation of nineteenth- and twentieth-century imperialism in a new form, not only carries forward the exercise of colonial incursion but facilitates the oppressively homogenising effects on the less advantaged Other. This is partly due to the rise of critical theory to ‘productively complicate the nationalist paradigm’ by embarking on transnationalism since the 1970s.1 One consequence of this was to prompt reevaluations of existing cultural productions, thus initiating cross-cultural and interethnic dialogues that had usually been absent in colonial and Eurocentric establishments, and prompting the public to envisage the Other across both real and imagined borders. Even more significantly, the meaning of a text starts to shift if it is studied in an international context, and this applies particularly to a text in which the characters venture into unexplored territories and impel ‘meaning [to] transform as it travels’.2 The transformation of meanings is further accelerated by intercultural encounters that are motivated by globalisation that interconnects individuals and societies around the world. -
