Catching up with Bishop Zipfel the “Diocesan Roundup” Section Will Share “Hard News” Items and by Evan W VOL. 73 NO. 2 WWW.BISMARCKDIOCESE.COM FEBRUARY 2014 Dakota Catholic Action Reporting on Catholic action in western ND since 1941 Editor’s note: Welcome to the “new” DCA! As you’ve undoubtedly noticed, the Dakota Catholic Action is sporting a new look this month, and I’d like to take a moment to introduce you to some of its new features. Most notably, we’ve reversed the fold to help make the DCA feel more like a true newspaper. Instead of a “cover” each month, you’ll be greeted at your mailbox by our top stories immediately on page one. You’ll also notice “A Look Inside” on the bottom of the fi rst page, which highlights other stories within the paper to help you dive in! We’ve now more logically organized the paper with distinct sections. The words, schedule and social media activity of our bishop will remain on page two, followed by the “Catholic Action” section. Bishop Emeritus Zipfel was born September 22, 1935 to Albert J. Zipfel and Leona O. Rau in St. Louis, Mo. He was ordained a This new section will aptly feature Catholic priest on March 18, 1961 and was ordained a bishop on June 29, 1989. Zipfel was installed as bishop of the Diocese of Bismarck on February 20, 1997. He now resides at St. Joseph’s residence hall at the University of Mary.

(l/LëUüW V \ DISSERTATION COMMITTEE PREFACE As a result of Rolf Hochhuth's play, The Deputy, in recent years the world has focused a great deal of attention on the relations between the Vatican and the Third Reich. In particular, The Deputy has stimulated interest in Pope Pius XII, and his position concerning the fate of the Jews during the Second World War. The resulting controversy has brought forth a barrage of books, most of which have taken extremely partisan stands on this subject. The vast majority of these publications, however, emphasize the role of the Pope rather than the Reich government, and deal only with the War years. By contrast, except for the Reich Concordat of 1933i his­ torians have not researched carefully the period which begins immediately after the Concordat and concludes in 1939, the year which saw both the outbreak of the War and the election of Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli as Pope. This is somewhat surprising, especially since Pius XII played an extremely important role in Reich-Vatican relations during this period as the Cardinal Secretary of State under Pope Pius XI.

  • Dakota Catholic Action Reporting on Catholic Action in Western ND Since 1941 Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant!
    VOL. 78 NO. 7 WWW.BISMARCKDIOCESE.COM AUGUST 2019 Dakota Catholic Action Reporting on Catholic action in western ND since 1941 Well done, good and faithful servant! The Most Reverend Paul A. Zipfel, Bishop Emeritus died peacefully Sunday, July 14 at a nursing home in St. Louis while under the care of hospice after an extended and debilitating struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 83 years old. His approachable and authentic nature will be how Bishop Zipfel will be remembered during his time as our chief shepherd. Few people ever forgot an encounter with him and his infectious, ever- present smile. We devote this issue of the Dakota Catholic Action to Bishop Zipfel and the gifts he left through his priests, the Catholic schools, his employees and, you, the faithful people of the diocese. Upon his arrival in Bismarck, he stated emphatically, “I tell you that my acceptance of this call is unconditional—in other words, with my whole heart.” And, that is what we remember about our beloved shepherd from some of his very fi rst words—his deep and unconditional love for the people of God. Bishop Zipfel, having been born and raised in the Midwest, understood the vibrant culture of hearty North Dakotans, blending right in with the traditions of food, friendship and fellowship. He was vocations and Catholic education. as comfortable in offi cial meetings His commitment to assigning as he was entertaining a crowd young priests to be chaplains with his impromptu magic tricks. and teach in our Catholic schools The native of Missouri had spent turned around our entire focus to his entire life near the city of St.
