  • Post-Catholic Ireland in Literature and Popular Culture

    Post-Catholic Ireland in Literature and Popular Culture

    P O S T - C A T H O L I C I R E L A N D I N L I T E R A T U R E A N D POPULAR CULTURE Lisa McGonigle A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand April 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis proposes the concept of turn-of-the-millennium Irish culture as “post-Catholic”. It outlines how the Catholic Church had occupied so powerful a position in the post- independent Irish State, but recent decades have seen such profound changes in the moral and political authority ceded to the Church. This thesis therefore argues that the dissolution of the Church’s hegemony constitutes a paradigm sociopolitical and cultural shift, which it defines as the move from a Catholic to post-Catholic society. It also argues that this shift has been both reflected in and effected by literature and popular culture, focusing in particular on issues of gender and sexuality in selected cultural texts. Chapter One examines how Marian Keyes uses the chick-lit novel to write back against conservative Catholicism and the maternalisation of Irish women, supplanting the “Irish Catholic Mammy” with a younger, sexually active generation of Irish women who do not define their subjectivity in terms of their maternal duties. It argues that Keyes’ hostility towards the Catholic Church affects, indeed directs, the sexual politics and frankness of her work and her treatment of topics such as abortion and divorce. Chapter Two investigates how popular novelist Maeve Binchy explores female sexuality and desire in opposition to a traditional Catholic discourse of sin and virtue.
  • Twenty Fourth Annual Report 2002

    Twenty Fourth Annual Report 2002

    FOREWORD The year 2002 was one of steady progress through the Second Work Programme of the Commission and at the end of the year there were seventeen research projects at various stages of completion. The Commission launched four Reports and two Consultation Papers during the year. In March a Consultation Paper on Penalties for Minor Offences was launched by the then Attorney General, Michael McDowell SC. In May the publication of the Consultation Paper on Prosecution Appeals in Cases brought on Indictment was launched by Mr Justice Nial Fennelly. In July a Report giving a Review of Developments since 1991 in respect of the Indexation of Fines together with a draft bill was launched by Mrs Justice Susan Denham. In December the Commission published the Report on Section 2 of the Civil Liability (Amendment) Act 1964, analysing and applying the principles underlying the Deductibility of Collateral Benefits (called ‘special damages’ by practitioners) from Awards of Damages. This paper was subsequently launched by Mr Justice Hugh Geoghegan. Two Land Law Reports were completed in December 2002, the first dealing with Acquisition of Easements and Profits à Prendre by Prescription and the second covering Title by Adverse Possession of Land. Both Reports suggested clarification and simplification in respect of acquisition and were launched by Ms Justice Mary Laffoy. A major development of the year was that the Commission, having reviewed its mandate to research in: “conveyancing law and practice in areas where this could lead to savings for house purchasers” under the Attorney General’s reference of 1987, decided to explore a new project to fulfil the spirit of this request.

    Author: Courtney Martin

    National University of Ireland, Galway European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation A.Y. 2018/2019 What is the most appropriate transitional justice model in addressing historical human rights abuses? —A comparative analysis of the experiences of Australia and the Republic of Ireland Author: Courtney Martin Supervisor: Dr. Anita Ferrara Word count: 22,673 Abstract Transitional justice as a restorative framework may be used to address past, endemic human rights abuses in both transitional and non-transitional contexts. Different forms of transitional justice mechanisms—including truth commissions and national public inquiry models used in conjunction with other truth and justice seeking measures—have been utilised globally in diverse geopolitical settings to expose publicly State wrongdoings, and officially document (new) national narratives. A critical finding of this research is the little scholarly comparative analysis available that assesses transitional justice mechanisms as they operate in culturally distinct contexts, and the related benefits. To arrive at these conclusions, like-inquiry models within the Anglosphere were assessed (namely, child abuse inquiries conducted in Australia and Ireland) in light of Chile’s ongoing efforts in the Latin American context to address its dictatorial history. Focus was given to the (statutorily conferred) powers of each child abuse inquiry, the use of testimony and related evidence, in addition to the retention and archival management of information and documents collected during each inquiry process. This piece postulates that analysing elements of mainstream transitional justice mechanisms in culturally distinctive contexts will more informatively and effectively heal countries torn apart by human rights atrocity. It is suggested this approach will better prevent the recurrence of systemic human rights violations, whether they occur in transitional or non-transitional settings, by fostering cross-cultural learning, appreciation and global dialogue within the realm of transitional justice.

    SIGNIS STATEMENT SPOTLIGHT 10Th of December 2015 Since Its

    SIGNIS STATEMENT SPOTLIGHT 10th of December 2015 Since its screening in competition in Venice, 2015, and its subsequent screenings at various festivals, then award nominations, including several for Best Film of 2015, the reputation of Spotlight has grown. For the statement by the SIGNIS Jury in Venice, see below. It is primarily a film about investigative journalism, the work of the Boston Globe in 2001. Memories of this kind of film go back to 1976 and the Watergate exposé in All the Presidents Men. At the same time as the release of Spotlight, there was a very powerful film on investigative journalism that is well worth seeing, Truth, about the NBC investigation of George W. Bush’s going into the National Guard to avoid service in Vietnam – showing the detail of investigation but also highlighting the need for consistent verification otherwise the investigation is not credible. The Boston Globe’s investigation focused on sexual abuse, clergy and survivors. This means that it is a film of particular Catholic interest. Cardinal Sean O’Malley, Archbishop of Boston and a member of the papal committee on sexual abuse, wrote a statement in October, acknowledging the realities of abuse in the church, acknowledging that the film treats an important subject. Again, see below. There have been films on clerical sexual abuse since 1990, quite a number, documentaries and feature films. They have been serving as a contribution to an examination of conscience by the church, an acknowledgement of realities for victims and survivors, a critique of the behaviour of church authorities, the need for a recognition of sinfulness in the church.

    Doyle Bibliography

    CLERGY SEXUAL ABUSE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SELECTED SOURCES RELATED TO CLERGY SEXUAL ABUSE, ECCLESIASTICAL POLITICS, THEOLOGY AND CHURCH HISTORY Thomas Patrick Doyle Revised June 20, 2021 1 PREFACE This bibliography started off as a 5-page table of references for a report I was asked to prepare for an attorney. The subject of the report was general prior knowledge of bishops and popes of sexual abuse of children minors by Catholic clergy. Shortly after this report had been circulated among some attorneys, I was asked to prepare variations on it. This entailed expanding the table of resources. My original motivation for the bibliography was for strictly private use: I had been collecting articles, scholarly and otherwise, since the emergence of the sexual abuse issue in 1984. I also began buying books about clergy sexual abuse once they started coming out. The very first book that I am aware of that was written about Catholic clergy sexual abuse was Assault on Innocence, written by Hilary Stiles and published in 1987. Hilary Stiles was the pseudonym used by Jeanne Miller. Jeanne is one of the original courageous pioneers who challenged the Catholic hierarchy (The Archdiocese of Chicago) and founded one of the two original victim support and action groups. Originally known as Vocal the name was later changed to The Linkup. The following year I discovered a second book, Clergy Malpractice, written by the late Robert McMenamin and published in 1988. Robert had been a Church attorney who switched and began representing victims. The bibliography began to grow as I purchased every book I could find related to clergy sexual abuse.
