David I. Kertzer, the Pope and Mussolini. the Secret History of Pius XI and the Rise of Fascism in Europe (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014), Pp
QUEST N. 12 - DISCUSSION David I. Kertzer, The Pope and Mussolini. The Secret History of Pius XI and the Rise of Fascism in Europe (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014), pp. 549 by Paolo Zanini In September 2006, at the start of Benedict XVI Pontificate, the opening of the Holy See’s archives relative to Pius XI’s Papacy (1922-1939) was completed. This decision contributed to shifting the focus of research, which until then had been concentrated on Pius XII and the Second World War, on to the previous period. Numerous studies investigated the work of Pope Ratti, the salient features of his rule and the modus operandi of the Vatican Congregations, and especially the Secretariat of State during his Papacy.1 In many of them, the principal focus was, even more than Pius XI himself, his second Secretary of State, Eugenio Pacelli, who took over from Pietro Gasparri in 1930, and who would become the next Pope in 1939 with the name of Pius XII. However, there is no doubt that from a general standpoint the opening of the Vatican archives for this period has reawakened interest in Pope Ratti, helping to put the spotlight on many aspects of a Papacy that coincided almost exactly with the period between the world wars, the rise of totalitarianism and of Fascist regimes in Europe. Given this premise, it should be no surprise that there are two aspects of the Pius XI Pontificate most analyzed with reference to the Italian situation: 1. the relations between Holy See and the Fascist regime, and the related issue of the 1 Among the numerous titles, see: Emma Fattorini, Pio XI, Hitler e Mussolini: la solitudine di un papa, (Turin: Einaudi, 2007); Hubert Wolf, Il papa e il diavolo: il Vaticano e il Terzo Reich, (Rome: Donzelli, 2008); Giovanni Coco, “L’anno terribile del cardinal Pacelli,” in Archivum Historiae Pontificiae 47 (2009): 143-276; Lucia Ceci, Il papa non deve parlare: Chiesa, fascismo e guerra d’Etiopia, (Rome-Bari: Laterza, 2010); Pius XI: Keywords. -
Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand, 4-12 September 1937
Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand, 4-12 September 1937 PETER J WILKINSON This is Part 1 of the seventh in the series of articles looking at the particular councils of the Catholic Church in Australia held between 1844 and 1937. It examines the background and factors leading to the Fourth Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand held in Sydney in September 1937, which brought all the particular churches of both nations for the second time. Part 2 will appear in the Winter edition of The Swag. After the Australian Plenary Council in 1905, only four particular (provincial and plenary) councils were convened in the English-speaking mission territories under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide (‘Propaganda’): the Provincial Councils of Tuam and Cashel in Ireland held in 1907, the Provincial Council of Melbourne in 1907, and the 4th Plenary Council of Australia and New Zealand in 1937. Developments in church governance, 1905-1937 Fewer councils were held in the English-speaking mission territories in this period as Pope Pius X (1903-1914) had announced in his 1908 Constitution Sapienti Consilio that the hierarchies of Great Britain, Canada, and the United States were ‘established’ and the churches there were no longer considered ‘mission territories’. Australia and New Zealand, however, were to remain mission territories under the jurisdiction of Propaganda.1 In 1911, Cardinal Patrick Moran died, and was succeeded by his coadjutor, Archbishop Michael Kelly (1911-40). Moran had convened three plenary councils in 1885, 1895 and 1905, been Australia’s most powerful Catholic prelate, and for 27 years had functioned as the Holy See’s de facto apostolic delegate for Australia and New Zealand. -

030-Santa Cecilia in Trastevere
(030/21) Santa Cecilia in Trastevere Santa Cecilia in Trastevere is a 9th century monastic and titular church and minor basilica dedicated to St Cecilia, 2nd or 3rd century Roman martyr and patron of musicians. 1 h History: The church is located in what was the most densely inhabited part of Trastevere in early Roman times; its large population mainly due to its proximity to the river Tiber. Where there are now convent buildings there were once four Roman streets surrounding a domus, above which the church was built. It is in the domus that the titulus of a Christian woman named Cecilia was housed. The river would have provided the domus with water for its bathhouse and tannery. j The account of Cecilia stated that she had persuaded her husband Valerian to be baptized. He was subsequently put to death, along with his brother, Tiburtius, and a man named Maximus. Cecilia was then taken before the prefect and sentenced to death by way of suffocation in the caldorinm of her own bathhouse. When this treatment failed to kill her, a soldier was sent to behead her but he struck three blows without succeeding, and she died of the wounds three days later. The remains of the executed men are known to have been buried in the Catacomb of St Praetextatus but the truth of the account and their connection with it is uncertain. 6 h j A sanctuary was built on the house of her husband, Valerianus. This became the ancient Titulus Ceciliae, one of the original twenty-five parishes of Rome. -

Benedict XV (1914-1922)
Benedict XV (1914-1922) His Holiness Benedict XV (3 Sept. 1914-22 Jan. 1922) was born in Genoa on 21 November 1854, of an old patrician family. Giacomo Della Chiesa graduated as a doctor of civil law at Genoa University in 1875, and then studied at the Capranica College and the Gregorian University, Rome. After ordination on 21 December 1878, he trained (1878-82) for the papal diplomatic service at the Academy of Noble Ecclesiastics. From 1883 to 1887 he was secretary to Mariano Rampolla, then Nuncio to Spain. When Rampolla became Secretary of State and Cardinal in 1887, Della Chiesa remained with him, being promoted Under-Secretary of State in 1901 and continuing in this office when Rampolla was succeeded by Rafael Merry del Val in 1903. Pius X appointed him Archbishop of Bologna in 1907. Only in May 1914 did Pius name him Cardinal, and three months later he was elected Pope, at a time when Europe was plunging into armed conflict. Benedict XV’s reign was inevitably overshadowed by the war and its consequences. While protesting against inhuman methods of warfare and the unethical application of science to the practice of war, he maintained strict neutrality and abstained from condemning any of the belligerents. In the early years of the conflict he concentrated on alleviating suffering, opening a bureau at the Vatican for reuniting prisoners-of-war with their families and persuading Switzerland to receive soldiers of any country who were suffering from tuberculosis. On 1 August 1917, however, he dispatched to the Allies and the Central Powers a seven-point plan proposing a peace based on justice rather than military triumph, but it failed to be implemented. -

The Contributions of George G. Higgins to the Social Action Movement in the United States, 1944 – 1980
The Contributions of George G. Higgins to the Social Action Movement in the United States, 1944 – 1980 Daniel R. Conkle Pensacola, FL M.A., University of Virginia, 2013 M.A., Catholic University of America, 2001 B.A., University of the South, 1997 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Religious Studies University of Virginia December, 2013 Abstract George G. Higgins joined the Social Action Department (SAD) of the National Catholic Welfare Conference in the spring of 1944, an organization which sought to implement the social teachings of the Catholic Church within American society. Higgins served the American Catholic hierarchy in this regard for over 36 years, acting on their behalf as the Assistant Director of the SAD from 1946 to 1954, as a director of the department from 1954 to 1972, and finally as a consultant to the United States Catholic Conference from 1972 to 1980. As a member of the department, Higgins followed the agenda of his director, Fr. Raymond A. McGowan, who sought to implement the Industry Council Plan of Pope Pius XI’s 1937 encyclical, Quadragesimo Anno. It was an effort that Higgins would consistently promote throughout his years of service to the American Catholic Church, and one which influenced the development and understanding of Catholic social action both prior to and following the Second Vatican Council of the 1960s. The historical account of Higgins’s actions during these 36 years of service details the efforts of the American Catholic Church to influence the social order of the United States, as well as the development of its understanding of social action from the 1940s to the 1980s. -
