First of all, I would like to thank Dr. Rosa Bruno-Jofré for her friendship, support and guidance throughout the entire process of producing this work. I would also like to thank Dr. Michael Attridge for his advice and suggestions for improvement, particularly with the chapters dealing with theology. Thank you to Dr. Jeffrey Brison for his overall support and his guidance concerning my research on the history of the long sixties in Canada. Brenda Reed, the Head Librarian at the Faculty of Education, Queen’s University, and her colleague Peter Lewis provided indispensable assistance, especially in the early stages of my research. I also relied on assistance from several archivists whom I would like to thank: Gillian Hearns, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto; Debra J. Majer and Liz Birchall, the Diocese of London; Michelle Anitra Pariag, Loretta Abbey, Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Canadian Province; Michelle Sawyers, General Archives of the Basilian Fathers; Linda Wicks, Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto; Mary Kosta, Sisters of St. Joseph of London; Bruce Henry, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops; M.C. Havey, Edmonton-Toronto Redemptorists; Father Brian J. Price, the Archdiocese of Kingston; and Veronica Stienburg, the Sisters of Providence of St Vincent de Paul, Kingston. I would also like to thank my children, Clare, Paul, and Anna, for their constant support and encouragement. Their high school experience, and their subsequent desire to learn more about their own religion at a deeper intellectual level, motivated me to research secondary religious education, and to propose a new approach that I believe is necessary if Catholic high schools are to graduate well-informed and committed Catholics. Most of all, I would like to thank my wife and best friend, Theresa. Without her love and support, this book would never have been completed. v Table of Contents Acknowledgements ...................................................................................................... iv About the Author ........................................................................................................... vi Introduction .................................................................................................................... 1 Chapter One: The Papacy and Neo-Thomism ................................................................ 5 Chapter Two: Strict Neo-Thomism, Pluralism, and Education in North America ......... 15 Chapter Three: Catholic Secondary Religious Educational Reform in North America on the Eve of Vatican II: Implications for the Future ........................................................... 31 Chapter Four: The Second Vatican Council and the Declaration on Christian Education ....................................................................................................................................... 41 Chapter Five: The Conditions of Reception for the Reforms of Vatican II and the Declaration on Christian Education ................................................................................ 51 Chapter Six: The Fundamental Shift in Religious Secondary Education in the Catholic Schools of Ontario ......................................................................................................... 67 Chapter Seven: A Proposal for a New Curricular Framework for Secondary Religious Education in the Post-Vatican II Era .............................................................................. 87 Conclusion .................................................................................................................. 102 Notes ........................................................................................................................... 105 Archival Sources and Bibliography .......................................................................... 170 Index ............................................................................................................................ 179 vi About the Author Joseph Stafford is a retired high school teacher who completed his PhD on the history of Catholic religious education at the secondary level at Queen’s University in 2018.

Vatican II and Catholic Education in Ontario 1 Introduction In 1959, Pope John XXIII surprised the Catholic world by announcing that the Church planned to convene the Second Vatican Council, the first such council since the First Vatican Council was disrupted by the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, and the most important council since the Council of Trent in the sixteenth century. Lasting from 1962 to 1965, Vatican II ushered in a new era for the Church, the effects of which are still being felt today. Scholars are still analysing the extent to which the Council impacted the Church. Its impact on Catholic secondary religious

  • THE ATLANTIC REGION BISHOPS a Meeting of the Atlantic Region
    THE ATLANTIC REGION BISHOPS A meeting of the Atlantic Region bishops was held on Prince Edward Island, September 15, 16, and 17. It was also a “first” in the history of our meetings. Let us recall that from 1829 to 1842, we were part of the diocese of Charlottetown which today has a Catholic population of 61,000 out of a total population of 135,000. JUBILEE YEAR As it is with the Church universal, we too are always turned towards Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah “yesterday, today, and forever”. We remember the three great requirements of a jubilee year: the respect of every human being, a sharing of the wealth, and protection of our environment. It is in this context that the bishops’ agenda of some thirty-odd items can be viewed. The bishops and the administrator of the twelve Atlantic region dioceses are very much aware of the jubilee requirements, and they want to experience this exceptional grace to the fullest by opening even wider the doors to Christ the Saviour and by making of their ministry a daily pilgrimage to their brothers and sisters. PASTORS FOR YOU It is significant that our meeting ended with a joyous concelebration in St. Augustin Church, Rustico, the oldest Catholic church on the Island, birthplace of the late Archbishop Cornelius O’Brien of Halifax and the late Cardinal James McGuigan, Archbishop of Toronto. About a pastor’s pastoral charge, Saint Augustin wrote: “I must distinguish carefully between two aspects of the role the Lord has given me, a role that demands a dangerous accountability, a role based on the Lord’s greatness rather than on my own merit.

Najpierw dwukrot- nie ukazało się pod tytułem przyjętym w roku 1932, z wyraźnym dodaniem określenia wskazującego na środowisko, z którym się utożsamia: „Annales Missiologicae Posnanienses” (t. 11-12). Jednak z uwagi na pewne wątpliwości dotyczące poprawności gramatycznej łacińskiego tytułu – po dłuższych waha- niach – po raz trzeci zmieniono tytuł: od tomu 13 (2003) przyjęto nazwę: „An- nales Missiologici Posnanienses”. W latach 2001-2014 pismo ukazywało się w rytmie dwurocznym. Od numeru 19 (2014) redakcja przyjęła roczny rytm wydawniczy.

GIORGIO MOTTOLA VOICEOVER Under a gloomy sky covered by heavy rain clouds, for the first time in history a Pope spoke in front of a totally empty Saint Peter’s square. POPE FRANCIS - URBI ET ORBI BLESSING 27 MARCH 2020 We didn’t listen to the cries of the poor and of our gravely ill planet. We continued undeterred, believing we would always remain healthy in a sick world. GIORGIO MOTTOLA VOICEOVER In the midst of the pandemic, the Pope granted plenary indulgence to the world's faithful. But in some Catholic circles, the Pope himself is seen as the very cause of Coronavirus. JOHN-HENRY WESTEN - DIRECTOR, LIFESITENEWS Is it possible to imagine that, at least in part, this epidemic is a consequence of the Pope’s betrayal of our Lord? GIORGIO MOTTOLA VOICEOVER Basically, God would have used Coronavirus to punish mankind for the Pope’s betrayal. So says the director of Lifesitenews, one of the world’s most popular ultra-Catholic websites. JOHN-HENRY WESTEN - DIRECTOR, LIFESITENEWS The pontiff has authorised sacrilegious communions, granting the holy Eucharist to people who have divorced or remarried. Such a profanation of the holy communion has a direct link with divine punishment. GIORGIO MOTTOLA VOICEOVER This theory was promoted for weeks by dozens of ultra-Catholic websites and by several American internet preachers.

  • Bishop Charles Leo Nelligan and the Creation of the Canadian Chaplain Service (Roman Catholic), 1939-19451
    CCHA Historical Studies, 72 (2006), 95-123 Fighting for the Chaplains: Bishop Charles Leo Nelligan and the Creation of the Canadian Chaplain Service (Roman Catholic), 1939-19451 Yves Yvon J. PELLETIER Since his appointment as Canada’s principal chaplain (Roman Catholic) in 1939, Bishop Charles Leo Nelligan worked tirelessly to ensure that all Catholics serving in Canada’s armed forces overseas and on the home front continued to have access to the sacraments. By the fourth year of his mandate, ongoing struggles to get his fellow bishops and provincials to nominate willing clerics for military duties, along with the extensive hours and demanding workload, had taken their physical and mental toll on Nelligan. In a letter to his childhood friend, Archbishop James McGuigan, Nelligan wrote in mid-1943: “I find now that the need [for chaplains] is so acute that we are almost approaching a state of desperation.”2 This letter underscores one of the difficulties facing the Canadian Chaplain Service (Roman Catholic) and its principal chaplain during the Second World War. As bishop for all Catholics serving in Canada’s military – an appointment officially made by the Holy See but requiring recognition from the minister of national defence – Nelligan was the representative of the Canadian Catholic Church to the federal government. As Military Ordinary (or ‘Episcopus Castrensis’), Nelligan was charged with coordinating wartime religious efforts, approving the nomination of clerics to military positions, and ensuring chaplains had access to soldiers and officers and were equipped with the tools they needed to do their jobs properly. While Nelligan may have been the best choice to become principal chaplain, his effectiveness was hampered by both bishopric and military decisions.

  • For the Bulletin of July 28, 2019
    For The Bulletin Of this was not a lengthy sacrifice of praise July 28, 2019 and thanksgiving; this was not rooted in prophets, Moses, or the Law. This was the prayer of Jesus given to His disciples. And in just one generation the curt address was expanded as we find in Matthew. And some of the imagery, “forgive debts” was changed by Luke to conform more closely to his theological outlook of “forgive sins.” And yet, this prayer is not found in Mark, John, or anywhere else in the New Testament. Only Luke and Matthew give us their respective versions. Still, they are so From Father Robert similar – their differences can be The Lord’s Prayer is something we understood and explained – that scholars likely learned as children, perhaps one of believe we have here something very the first memorized or “rote” prayers we close to the words of the historical Jesus acquired. So, today’s gospel and its when He taught His disciples this prayer. version of the prayer might strike us a bit odd. It’s not the version we find in The next time we rush through this Matthew, which is much closer to the memorized prayer at Liturgy or another version we have memorized and recite at occasion, it might be good to set Liturgy. Instead, Luke’s version has ourselves in the context of Jesus and His some elements that might be closer to disciples, imagining receiving this the words spoken by Jesus Himself. The prayer and His instruction. Let’s Lukan version is certainly shorter and consider the words we are praying and does not seem to have undergone the the worldview they depict.

  • Personal Parish As an Element of The
    Annales Missiologici Posnanienses t. 21 (2016), s. 151-167 DOI: 10.14746/amp.2016.21.8 WOJCIECH KOWAL Saint Paul University, Ottawa Personal Parish As An Element Of The Organizational Structure Of The Pastoral Care Of Polish Immigrants By The Missionary Oblates Of Mary Immaculate In The Archdiocese Of Toronto The topic chosen for this article could easily merit something of the scope of a monograph rather than a short paper. Therefore, this presentation cannot, and by no means will, attempt to respond to all the questions related to per- sonal parish as an element of the organizational structure of the pastoral care of Polish immigrants in Toronto, Canada. The article will rather off er a canon- ist’s look at the reality which has multiple and diverse aspects. Moreover, the ambit of this refl ection will be limited to the Polish personal parishes presently entrusted in the Archdiocese of Toronto to the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a religious clerical congregation of pontifi cal right serving the Church in Canada since 1841. 1. The Past: Personal Parish in Church’s Legislation before the 1983 Code of Canon Law When referring to personal parishes, one has to go back to the 1917 Code of Canon Law or even to an earlier Church legislation. The Pio-Benedictine Code required that all dioceses be divided into parishes: Can. 216, §1 – The territory of each diocese shall be divided into distinct territo- rial parts; to each part is assigned its own church with a determined people, and its own rector, as its proper pastor, is to be put in charge for the necessary care of souls (Sources/Codex iuris canonici).1 1 All references to the canons of the 1917 Code will be styled „CIC/17, c.” for canon and „ IC/17, cc.” for canons, followed by the canon number(s).

  • LAPIDES-By-Vigano.Pdf
    LAPIDES CLAMABUNT By Archbishop Viganò Dico vobis quia si hii tacuerint, lapides clamabunt. I say to you that if these are silent, the stones will cry out. Lk 19:40 Traditionis custodes: this is the incipit [“beginning” or “first words”] of the document with which Francis imperiously cancels the previous Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum of Benedict XVI. The almost mocking tone of the bombastic quotation froM Lumen Gentium will not have escaped notice: just when Bergoglio recognizes the Bishops as guardians of the Tradition, he asks them to obstruct its highest and most sacred expression of prayer. Anyone who tries to find within the folds of the text some escamotage [“sleight of hand” or “trickery”] to circumvent the text should know that the draft sent to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for revision was extremely more drastic than the final text: a confirmation, if ever it were needed, that no particular pressure was needed from of the historical enemies of the Tridentine Liturgy – beginning with the scholars of Sant’Anselmo – to convince His Holiness to try his hand at what he does best: demolishing. Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant. [They make a wasteland and call it peace. – Tacitus, Agricola] The Modus Operandi of Francis Francis has once again disavowed the pious illusion of the hermeneutic of continuity, stating that the coexistence of the Vetus and Novus Ordo is impossible because they are expressions of two irreconcilable doctrinal and ecclesiological approaches. On the one hand there is the Apostolic Mass, the voice of the Church of Christ; on the other there is the Montinian “Eucharistic celebration,” the voice of the conciliar church.
