  • The Crisis of the Fisheries in Newfoundland and Labrador and the Notion of the Common Good in David Hollenbach
    The Crisis of the Fisheries in Newfoundland and Labrador and the Notion of the Common Good in David Hollenbach by Bertha Marie Yetman A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Regis College and the Theology Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College. © Copyright by Bertha Marie Yetman 2017 The Crisis of the Fisheries in Newfoundland and Labrador and the Notion of the Common Good In David Hollenbach Bertha Marie Yetman Doctor of Philosophy University of St. Michael’s College 2017 Abstract This thesis offers an extended theological reflection on the notion of the common good, in light of the decimation of the world’s largest cod fishery in the waters off the northeast coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. Drawing on Church and local political history, this thesis argues that the theological notion of the common good would have provided the theological perspective for Catholic Church-local leaders to see this socio- economic-ecological crisis as a spiritual crisis, a one which summoned the active engagement of the Church. The destruction of the northern cod fishery in the latter half of the twentieth century is considered through the lens of David Hollenbach’s reinterpreted notion of the common good in Catholic social tradition. Hollenbach’s common good re-envisioned, offers a way of articulating and reflecting on the theological-ethical insufficiency of the local Church’s response to this socio-economic-ecological-political-spiritual tragedy. Despite the long-standing tradition of the Catholic Church to interpret, define and advance the needs of the common good of all humanity, that Vatican II had happened, and was followed by more than fifteen years of Canadian Catholic Bishops social justice statements, Newfoundland Church leaders in the late twentieth century, did not see it ii appropriate to become involved in this immense political, socio-economic-ecological, cultural-spiritual travesty of justice.

  • Prologue to the Future.Pdf
    1 Pope Leo XIII erected the Diocese of Dallas from the Diocese of Galveston July 15, 1890. 2 Text Copyright Catholic Diocese of Dallas 4 Contents Introduction ………………………………………………… 6 Pre‐Story ………………………………………………………. 7 Beginnings …………………………………………………… 8 A New Diocese and a New Century ………………. 16 Behold the Great High Priest ……………………….. 30 Texas Centennial Catholic Exhibit ………………… 36 A Changing Catholic Paradigm ………………………. 44 An Immigrant Church ‐ Déjà vu ……………………… 53 A New Millennium …………………………………………. 58 Index ……………………………………………………………… 65 Bibliography ………………………………………………….. 71 Acknowledgements ……………………………………….. 72 5 Introduction History is a story of stories, it is more than a chronology of dates, it is dynamic, ever changing. Every yesterday adds to the continuum that Bishop Kevin Farrell describes in his pre‐story. History does not change. Our awareness and understanding of historical events changes, but not the events or the decisions of which history is comprised. Prologue to the Future, the title of this brief work was inspired by the wisdom of two men who shaped history and were shaped by it. Theodore Roosevelt once said “The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future,” and Shakespeare penned, “What’s past is prologue…” This book is not intended as a record of accomplishments, past or present, of the myriad of organizations whose work has contributed so much to the making and the shaping of the Diocese of Dallas. To do so would require many volumes. Rather this book is about beginnings, about the courage and resourcefulness of those men and women, clergy and laity, who took the dream of Pope Leo XIII who signed the bull creating the Diocese of Dallas, and fashioned it into the reality that it is today.

Boston College The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Department of History ―FOR FAITH AND FOR FREEDOM‖: AMERICAN CATHOLIC MANHOOD AND THE HOLY NAME SOCIETY IN BOSTON, 1870-1960 a dissertation by DAVID J. MCCOWIN submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2011 © copyright by DAVID J. MCCOWIN 2011 ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the Holy Name Society, a Catholic men‘s confraternity that thrived in early-to-mid twentieth-century America, aimed at addressing perceived problems of modernity by curbing blasphemous speech and bringing men back to the regular attendance to the sacraments of the faith. A dual focus on the local Holy Name movement in Boston and the national campaign uncovers the linkages within the organization as its numbers and purposes expanded. Blending the perspective of lived religion with the methods of social and cultural history, the study explores social relationships of Holy Name men pertaining to race, gender, family, and children, and it shows that the institution was the main lens through which its members translated their faith into their daily lives. Holy Name men, for example, entered into the era of Catholic Action long before historians understand that movement to have begun.

Bridgewater, Massachusetts A Town in Transition Churches in Bridgewater, Massachusetts 1900-1910 (Including Some Historical Background) Benjamin A. Spence © 2008 An Explanation For several years I have had the pleasure of delving into the history of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, concentrating on the first quarter of the twentieth century and providing, when appropriate, historical background to make my discussions clearer. Although my research and writing are ongoing, I have decided to make available drafts of a number of topics which I have explored at length, with the hope that the material presented will prove helpful to many readers. I would request that credit be given if my findings are used by other writers or those making oral presentations. As my study has proceeded, many people have been helpful and, hopefully, I will be able to thank all of them during the course of my writing. At this point, let me mention just a few who have been especially supportive. Many thanks to the Trustees of Bridgewater’s Public Library for allowing me free access to the sources in the town’s library, made easier by the aid given to me by the research librarians under the competent direction of Mary O’Connell.
