By the time their decision was made it was too late to move to another vendor or to find the funds for it. But quite frankly it worked out, as International Youth Coordinator we would have spent a lot of money printing and mailing cards to new members who had not paid anything to join this year. The majority of our Barbara Piirinen members have told us the digital ID is fine. It is easier to use when sending digital travel requests, which is about the only time anyone asks to see IPA Counsel it anyway.

Abstract A Crenelated Wall: The Rise and Fall of Southern Baptist Institutions for the Separation of Church and State, 1936-1979 by John Timothy Ruckle Jr. Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor David A. Hollinger, Chair This dissertation centers on the origins and projects of the Baptist Joint Committee (BJC), founded and funded in 1936 by the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), and the Protestants and Other Americans United for the Separation of Church and State (POAU), founded in 1948 as the brainchild of Southern Baptist elites. I argue these organizations were primarily concerned with opposing American Catholic projects, especially those which sought public monies for parochial schools. Ironically, the structures and organizations which greatly aided this effort to expand religious tolerance and liberty in this period had their origins in concerns about the Catholic Church and American Catholicism held by many Baptists.

  • Violence and Disorder in the Sede Vacante of Early Modern Rome, 1559-1655
    VIOLENCE AND DISORDER IN THE SEDE VACANTE OF EARLY MODERN ROME, 1559-1655 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By John M. Hunt, M. A. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee Professor Robert C. Davis Professor Noel G. Parker ______________________________ Professor Barbara A. Hanawalt Advisor History Graduate Program Professor Terri Hessler ABSTRACT From the death of every pope until the election of his successor in the early modern era, the entire bureaucratic and judicial apparatus of the state in Rome and the Papal States effectively ceased to function. During this interregnum, known as the sede vacante (literally, “the vacant see”), violence and disorder dramatically increased as the papal government temporarily lost its control over the populace and its monopoly of violence. The College of Cardinals and local civic governments throughout the Papal States, authorities deputized to regulate affairs during sede vacante, failed to quell the upsurge of violence that commenced immediately upon the pope’s death. Contemporary observers and modern scholars have labeled the violence of sede vacante as meaningless and irrational. I argue, rather, that this period of unrest gave Romans and subjects of the Papal States an opportunity to perform actions increasingly forbidden by the centralizing papal government—and thus ultimately to limit the power of the government and prevent the development of the papacy into an absolute monarchy. Acting as individuals or as collectivities, Romans and papal subjects sought revenge against old enemies, attacked hated outsiders, criticized papal policies, and commented on the papal election.

Appearing at the central window of St. Peter’s Basilica on April 19, the newly elected pope smiled as he was greeted by a cheering, flag-wav- ing crowd of nearly 100,000 people. “After the great John Paul II, the cardinals elected me, a simple, hum- ble worker in the vineyard of the Lord,” Pope Benedict said, in a brief talk broadcast around the world. “I am consoled by the fact that the Lord can work and act even through insufficient instruments, and I espe- cially entrust myself to your prayers,” he said. “In the joy of the risen Lord, and trusting in his permanent help, we go forward. The Lord will help us, and Mary, his most holy mother, is on our side. Thank you,” he said. Then Pope Benedict gave his blessing to the city of Rome and to the world. He stood and listened to the endless applause that followed, smiling and raising his hands above his head. Among the few cardinals who joined him on the central balcony was U.S.
