  • Former President of Australian Bishops’ Conference Dies
    Former president of Australian bishops’ conference dies unexpectedly ADELAIDE, Australia (CNS) — Retired Archbishop Philip Wilson, former president of the Australian Catholic Bishops’ Conference who served as archbishop of Adelaide for 17 years, died Jan. 17. He was 70. The Australian Catholic Bishops’ Conference said that while the archbishop had suffered a series of health problems in recent years, including cancer, his death “was unexpected.” Adelaide Archbishop Patrick O’Regan noted that while his predecessor had been charged with failing to respond adequately to allegations of child sexual abuse while a priest, he was acquitted of all charges. “A harrowing period of allegations, charges, conviction and eventually acquittal was a significant chapter on Philip’s life, but his record of supporting and advocating on behalf of victims and survivors is part of his legacy,” Archbishop O’Regan said. “Philip knew what pain many people had endured and suffered as a result of the sickening actions of some within the church. He was part of the solution, and widely recognized as such.” In July 2018, Archbishop Wilson resigned as archbishop of Adelaide Archdiocese after being convicted of failing to report allegations of child sexual abuse by a priest in the 1970s. Although he maintained his innocence and appealed the ruling, Archbishop Wilson said at the time that “there is just too much pain and distress being caused by my maintaining the office of archbishop of Adelaide, especially to the victims of Father (James) Fletcher.” In December 2018, an appeals court overturned his conviction. He served as bishop of Wollongong from 1996 to 2001, and, after his death Wollongong Bishop Brian Mascord asked for prayers “for Philip, the Wilson family and the Archdiocese of Adelaide at this very sad time.” Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher recalled Archbishop Wilson’s “paternal” care of the other bishops when he was president of the bishops’ conference.

Se revisan los dos casos más relevantes del último tiempo en tanto sus demandas, examinando los caminos que ayudan a establecer la responsabilidad civil de la Iglesia, por el hecho propio y por el hecho de su dependiente. Se revisa jurisprudencia comparada, donde han ocurrido situaciones similares y se establece un actuar concordante de la Iglesia Católica en todos los lugares en que se vio involucrada en casos de abusos. Se concluye que la Iglesia Católica chilena es responsable civilmente por hecho propio, su falta de vigilancia respecto de sus sacerdotes, existiendo un marco regulatorio que lo sustenta. vii viii ÍNDICE INTRODUCCIÓN .............................................................................................................. 3 I.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • How the Catholic Church Sexual Abuse Crisis Changed Private Law
    CARDINAL SINS: HOW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SEXUAL ABUSE CRISIS CHANGED PRIVATE LAW MAYO MORAN* ABSTRACT For several decades now, the unfolding of the Catholic Church sexual abuse crisis has been front-page news. It has wreaked havoc on hundreds of thousands of lives, cost the Church billions of dollars, and done irreparable harm to a once-revered institution. Along the way, it has also helped to transform the all- important private law of responsibility. When the crisis began to break in the early 1980s, the few survivors who sought legal redress faced a daunting array of obstacles. Limitations periods alone had the effect of barring almost all child sexual abuse claims. Immunities also helped to shield the Church. Private law itself was generally hostile to institutional liability, particularly where the harm resulted from the criminal act of an individual. All of that has changed. Among the catalysts for change within private law, the Catholic Church sex abuse crisis looms large. The scale of the crisis and the universal nature of the Church were certainly both important factors, but so too was the Church's response. From the initial impulse to cover up instances of abuse to choices made in the legal and political arenas, it appeared willing to do almost anything to protect itself. Yet the Church had traditionally bene®ted from special treatment precisely on the ground that it was not an ordinary, self-interested legal actor. The tension between the Church's mission and its approach to covering up abuse began to attract notice. Courts and legislators were prompted to act.

  • 1.) What Was the Original Name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. the Pirates
    1.) What was the original name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. The Pirates The Pittsburgh football franchise was founded by Art Rooney on July 7, 1933. When he chose the name for his team, he followed the customary practice around the National Football League of naming the football team the same as the baseball team if there was already a baseball team established in the city. So the professional football team was originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates. 2.) How many Pittsburgh Steelers have had their picture on a Wheaties Box? C. 13 Since Wheaties boxes have started featuring professional athletes and other famous people, 13 Steelers have had their pictures on the box. These players are Kevin Greene, Greg Lloyd, Neil O'Donnell, Yancey Thigpen, Bam Morris, Franco Harris, Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Barry Foster, Merril Hoge, Carnell Lake, Bobby Layne, and Rod Woodson. 3.)

  • Pittsburgh Baseball Lesson
    Sept. 2, 2001--- PITTSBURGH, Pa.--The national pastime is blessed with many beautiful new baseball stadiums, but none fit into the pastiche of community as well as PNC Park at North Shore in downtown Pittsburgh. The ballpark is muscled between a regentrified warehouse district and the Allegheny River, an appropriate location for a working-class town where five o'clock shadows are 24/7. It's like having a shot glass next to a beer. The Roberto Clemente Bridge rainbows the river. The former Sixth Street bridge was renamed in honor of one of the Pittsburgh Pirates' most beloved players. Clemente perished in a Dec. 31, 1972, plane crash while leading the Puerto Rican relief effort for earthquake-torn Nicaragua. He was 38. Sometimes Clemente would complain about his aches and pains. I can still see him twitching his neck while going to work in a bitter September wind. But he always got the job done with passion and pride. That's Pittsburgh. The Clemente bridge is closed to vehicles during game days, allowing pedestrians to approach the park with anticipation in each step--just as Clemente used to come to the plate against the Cubs. The right-field wall at PNC is known as "The Clemente Wall." It is exactly 21 feet high in honor of the right fielder's uniform number. One of the best places to watch the game is from the cheapest seat, a $9 ticket in the 300 section of the right field upper deck grandstands. This presents a glorious view of bridges, the north downtown skyline and the ballpark's "toothbrush" light standards.
