Stanton, SJ Papers BC.2002.071 - Page 4 - Biographical note Edward S. Stanton was born to Mary Elizabeth (Sullivan) and Dr. Joseph Stanton in 1916. He grew up with four brothers and five sisters in Brookline and Newton, Massachusetts. Stanton graduated from Boston College High School. In 1935, he entered the Society of Jesus at Lenox, Massachusetts. Stanton received from Boston College both his Bachelor of Arts and his Masters of Arts in 1941 and 1942, respectively. Upon college graduation, Stanton taught high school in Fairfield, Connecticut from 1942 to 1945. In 1948, he was ordained a priest in the Roman Catholic Church. He received his Licentiate in Theology, with honors, from Weston College in 1949. After studying in both Ireland and France, Stanton taught theology at Holy Cross College from 1951 to 1957. He was the New England Promoter of Sodalities, directing retreats, organizing conventions, and counseling from 1957 to 1967. While serving as the summer editor of America in 1963, Stanton met John La Farge, SJ. Impressed by La Farge’s character and work, Stanton began to study his life. Stanton participated in the Third World Congress for the Lay Apostolate in Rome in 1967. In the early 1970s, Stanton began work on his doctorate at Saint Paul University in Ottawa. He chose La Farge as the subject of his doctoral dissertation. After completion of his doctorate in philosophy, Stanton returned to teaching. He was a member of Boston College’s Theology Department and conducted numerous student retreats. Over his long career, Stanton published a number of articles in journals such as America, Christian Action, and The Pilot. Among his work was a chapter about La Farge for a book titled Saints Are Now. Between 1963 and 1976, Stanton wrote over three hundred and thirty-three book reviews for America. He also prepared manuscripts on Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the life of John LaFarge. Stanton died on March 13, 1983. Edward S.

  • The Catholic Elites in Brazil and Their Attitude Toward the Jews, 1933–1939* Graciela Ben-Dror
    The Catholic Elites in Brazil and Their Attitude Toward the Jews, 1933–1939* Graciela Ben-Dror The 1930s were a decade of sweeping political, social, and economic changes in Brazil. The revolution in 1930 propelled Getúlio Vargas to the presidency;1 there was a distinct political polarization; the general persecution of Communists and the left turned into repression of the same in 1935; and Vargas established an authoritarian state, the Estado Novo (“New State”), in November 1937. All these events affected the attitude of the new political and intellectual elites2 toward the Jewish issue and lent the nascent anti-Jewish climate an additional dimension.3 This climate was abetted by racist ideas that been gestating in Brazil since the late nineteenth century and that had nestled in the consciousness of senior bureaucrats and decision-makers.4 Moreover, a few Brazilian Fascists - members of the Integralist Party, an important movement - helped generate the climate of anti-Jewish hostility by creating the metaphor of the Jew who threatens Brazil and equating Jews with Communists.5 These factors – and 1Boris Fausto, A revolução de 1930 (São Paulo: Editora Brasiliense S. A., 1995, first edition, 1970), pp. 92–114. In this book, one of the most important works on the reasons for the 1930 revolution, Fausto argues that the revolution marked the end of the ruling hegemony of the bourgeoisie at that time. The revolution, prompted by the need to reorganize the country’s economic structure, led to the formation of a regime that arranged compromises among classes and sectors. The military, with its various agencies, became the dominant factor in Brazil’s political development.

  • The Silence of the Churches in the Holocaust Years
    NOUGHTS AND CROSSES: THE SILENCE OF THE CHURCHES IN THE HOLOCAUST YEARS COLIN TATZ This essay is about the indifference, even the hostile indifference, of Christian churches to the Jewish experience in the 1930s and 1940s. Even a brief review of the attitudes and actions of the German Catholic and Protestant churches, of two Popes, of the highly-regarded theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer and of the German Jews’ responses leads to this conclusion: that there are much simpler explanations of their silences and their moral abdications than can be found in the grand theorising so often required by the humanities and social sciences. Two factors make this is a difficult assignment. First, identifying let alone pinpointing emotions and attitudes, which is so much harder than assembling chronology and narrative. Second, finding the appropriate words to capture and comprehend church conduct during the Holocaust era. (And then beyond the Shoah to church silence during Burundi, Rwanda, Somalia, Guatemala, North Korea, Bangladesh, Kosovo, Bosnia, Iraq, Darfur, among other such events.) One tries to find and understand the mechanisms, the transmission belts that 'drove' their behaviour. Greed, revenge, hate and contempt explain many acts of evil; Samaritanism, generosity, charitableness, even altruism underlie acts of goodness. A word that doesn’t seem to belong in the vocabularies of good and evil is want. It seems innocuous enough. But want can mislead. To want something is to wish or hope for it, to yearn or pine or even crave for it; the verb implies action towards something positive and definable. Not to want is a much more passive notion, even a negative one.

  • Understanding & Dism Antling Privilege
    . Catholicism Demands That “Black Lives Matter!” Inclusion Matt Harper Alliance of White Anti-Racists Everywhere - LA, White People 4 Black Lives Social Equity andSocial Equity Abstract The historical role that the Catholic Church has played in oppressing many different groups is clear: for example, the oppression of women, children, LGBTQ people, and people of Color. Equally clear is the choice many churches and congregants make today to remain silent and inert when it comes to prioritizing the dignity of all marginalized populations, even those sitting beside them in the pews. Specifically, the White, Catholic community of faith is significantly absent in the work to challenge institutions that oppose the liberation of Black communities. However, this reality is inconsistent with the most faithful demands of Catholic scripture and tradition. From the Old Testament to Jesus of Nazareth and his apostles to Pope Francis, one core principle of Catholicism is the priority God places on the lives and dignity of the most oppressed. By exploring the atrix Center of the Advancement for atrix Center compendium of Catholicism, White Catholics can find an appropriate framework for considering how to engage the work for racial justice. Additionally, those of he M he White identity have a unique responsibility to explore the realities of their racial T identity. By taking intentional action and heeding the call that so many others and before them have taken up, they can find that it is very much in the lexicon of God to loudly proclaim the Gospel truth, “Black lives matter!” This is a personal self- reflection, and I envision the primary audience for this article to be privileged White Catholics who impose their social and political beliefs about the Black Lives Matter movement on their faith.

  • Pope Pius XII's Refusal to Publicly Condemn the Holocaust
    Jewish-Christian Relations Insights and Issues in the ongoing Jewish-Christian Dialogue Pope Pius XII’s Refusal to Publicly Condemn the Holocaust 01.05.2020 | Zaina-Sophie Salibi In 2007, the beatification process of Pope Pius XII was met with protests by Jewish and Catholic leaders alike. The point of contention was the controversy over the Pope’s public silence on the Holocaust both during and after the Second World War. If one is to follow the popular line of several journalists and scholars, Cardinal Eugenio Maria Pacelli, known as Pope Pius XII, was an anti-Semite who refused to intervene or even denounce the killing of Jews during the Holocaust. While the beatification process of Pope Pius XII has been halted to this day, the controversy over the Pope’s silence is far from settled: indeed, some scholars—and even prominent Jewish intellectuals —not only refuse to condemn the Pope’s silence over the treatment of the Jews during the Holocaust, but argue that Pope Pius XII’s public silence over the matter led to the salvation of thousands of Jews in Europe during the War.[1] Guilt and complicity? Some historians such as Frank Coppa[2] argue that the reputation of Pope Pius XII was largely intact—and positive—immediately after 1945. Others have noted small but significant pockets of dissatisfaction over the Pope’s lack of public denunciation of the Holocaust both during and after the War. However, most agree that: “After the production of Rolf Hochhuth’s play Der Stellvertreter (The Representative or The Deputy in English) in 1963 in Berlin and London, and a year later in New York, it became a “hot topic” for a time”.[3] Hochhuth’s award-winning play characterized Pope Pius XII as a cold and scheming diplomat whose only concern was to protect the power of the Catholic Church in Europe at a moment when Nazi and Fascist governments seemed poised to govern Europe.

This historical narrative fails to recognize the achievements of this relatively centrist pope in an era of extremes. In fact, Pope Pius XI played a crucial part in laying the foundation for Christian and Jewish resistance against Nazi racist ideologies and cruelty. Indeed, his actions are in part a makeup of his life’s mission. Thus, by ORRNLQJDWWKHSHUVRQDOLQÀXHQFHVWKDWVKDSHGKLVSHUVSHFWLYHWKURXJKRXWKLVOLIHWKDWVKDSHGKLVSROLWLFDOUDFLDODQGUHOLJLRXV beliefs, Pope Pius XI can be seen both as an opponent to racial antisemitism and a man attempting to keep the Church safe while caught in a world of rapid change due to the ideal of modernity and the spreading of Communism and Fascism. Keywords: Pope, Nazi, racism, antisemitism, Communism, Holocaust, Bolshevism Pope Pius XI was an early opponent of Nazism, and uncle, he would come to know the local archbishop, and deserves a thorough and even-handed study of his life and eventually after graduating from seminary school with a role as supreme pontiff.

INTRODUCTION: CARDINAL SCHONBORN'S "FINDING DESIGN IN NATURE" On July 7, 2005, Christoph Cardinal SchOnborn set off an intense debate when the New York Times published "Finding Design in Nature."' As the editorial secretary for the Catechism for the Catholic Church and a collaborator of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, Schnborn carried great weight. The cardinal wished to correct what he believed to be a misperception: that the Catholic Church in the person of Pope John Paul II had accepted or at least acquiesced to a neo-Darwinian formulation of evolution. Rather, he maintained that one must distinguish between the following: legitimate scientific explorations into the origin of design and purpose in life forms, evolutionary theory, and an illegitimate ideological *S.T.D.

  • Nostra Aetate: a Catholic Act of Metanoia
    Nostra Aetate: A Catholic Act of Metanoia PHILIP A. CUNNINGHAM Introduction he Second Vatican Council’s 1965 Declaration on the Relationship of Tthe Church to Non-Christian Religions, known by its opening Latin words, “In our time” or “In our age,” Nostra Aetate, is rightly called a revolutionary document. Although it was the first authoritative conciliar and magisterial statement in history to address the Catholic Church’s relations with the Jewish people and tradition, it nonetheless reversed centuries and centuries of standard Christian presuppositions and teachings about Jews. It launched a trajectory of unprecedented Catholic reform and creativity. Its impact continues to unfold today as we observe the declaration’s fortieth anniversary, even though—in the words of Cardinal Walter Kasper, current president of the Pontifical Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews—we are probably still only at “the beginning of the beginning” of a deep-seated process of reform.1 Indeed, the renewal catalyzed by Nostra Aetate can properly be described by the Greek word metanoia, in Hebrew teshuvah, a complete “turning,” a total reorientation of attitude or action. This can be demonstrated by considering Catholic perspectives before 1965, the story of the composition of the document, and the development of its key points over the past four decades. This essay will focus on the Declaration’s importance for Catholic-Jewish relations, the original concern from which eventually emerged the final version that discussed all religions. A CATHOLIC ACT OF METANOIA 161 The Catholic Theological Stance Toward Jews and Judaism Before Nostra Aetate The metanoia, the turnaround represented by Nostra Aetate, becomes strikingly clear if one contrasts pre-Vatican II Catholic understandings with those that began to arise subsequently.

The Response of the Catholic Church t Over the past two decades, controversy has raged over the Vatican edict to canonize Pius XII, the pope whose reign coincided with the Second World War and the Holocaust. Debates over his wartime conduct perdured despite the want of ecclesiastical sources. Until the turn of the century, historians had been slow to research the role of the Vatican in the Holocaust, but now they come with determination.1 Grating on Catholic sensitivities, the topic has become a centerpiece of historical scrutiny. This paper explores and explains the response of the Catholic Church to Nazi racial persecution of Jews.2 For a fair and thorough appraisal, it is essential to chart—and give a sense of chronology to—the history of Vatican diplomacy with the Third Reich.
