Certainly, all of Christ is present in the Eucharist, his heart as well as all of his body, all his soul, and all the Divinity of the Word of Life that he is in person. But the Heart of Christ truly seems to be the explanatory sign of all the Eucharist: it is the human symbol of all of God’s Love for his Church, which he has redeemed at the cost of his Blood shed on the Cross of Calvary. And love does not have a reason; or if it does, it is love itself that is its own reason. Love can only be explained by love, which is the fullness of its reason. There is therefore no reason that more fully or more completely explains the Eucharist than the very Love of God, symbolized by the Heart of Christ.

  • 702 and It Is Disheartening That the Institutum Historicum Societatis Iesu
    702 Book Reviews and it is disheartening that the Institutum Historicum Societatis Iesu cannot ensure for its readers (and its authors) a higher standard of comprehensibil- ity in an English-language publication. German is the original language of the work (in the form of a habilitation thesis) and a perfectly respectable interna- tional academic language. Sobiech should have left Jesuit Prison Ministry in it. All of this adds up to a study that is solidly researched and encyclopedically helpful, but also frustratingly hard to read. Scholars will most profitably turn to it as an overview of particular topics and a finder’s guide for source material related to their own research. The best future work on early modern carceral pastoral care, the life of Friedrich Spee, and his Cautio criminalis will undoubt- edly be built on foundations Sobiech lays here. Spee deserves a study on a par with Machielsen’s on Delrio; thanks to Sobiech, we are one step closer. David J. Collins, S.J.

  • Book Reviews
    BOOK REVIEWS THEOLOGY AND EVOLUTION. By various writers. Edited by E. C. Mes­ senger. Westminster, Md.: Newman, 1952. Pp. vi + 337. $4.50. The recently deceased editor-author has called this volume a sequel to his earlier Evolution and Theology (London, 1931; N. Y., 1932). Part I (pp. 1-216) is especially deserving of this designation. Entitled "Essays on Evo­ lution," it collects fourteen critical reviews or commentaries written by various theologians soon after the appearance of the 1931 volume. To many of these essays is added, in full, the subsequent published exchange between author and critic. The discussion is frequently closed with a summary com­ ment by Dr. Messenger in his present role of editor. Critics who figure in Part I include P. G. M. Rhodes, R. W. Meagher, B. C. Butler, O.S.B., P. J. Flood, J. O. Morgan, Michael Browne, W. H. McClellan, S J., W. J. McGarry, S J., E. F. Sutclifïe, S J., Al. Janssens, J. Bittremieux, A. Brisbois, S.J., J. Gross, and Père Lagrange, O.P. All con­ cede the significance of Evolution and Theology as the first full-length treat­ ment of the subject from the theological and scriptural viewpoint, but not all admit the treatment to have been fair. Judgments of "inconsistency" and "special pleading" occur more than a few times. Aside from disagreements with his interpretations of the pertinent writ­ ings of Gregory of Nyssa and Augustine, and with his understanding of St. Thomas' treatment of the form in Adam's body, the criticism most gen­ erally leveled at Dr.

Protestant and Catholic Infernalisms in England, c. 1560–1640 by PETER MARSHALL University of Warwick, UK E-mail: [email protected] Despite a recent expansion of interest in the social history of death, there has been little scholarly examination of the impact of the Protestant Reformation on perceptions of and discourses about hell. Scholars who have addressed the issue tend to conclude that Protestant and Catholic hells differed little from each other in the Elizabethan and early Stuart periods. This article undertakes a comparative analysis of printed English-language sources, and finds significant disparities on questions such as the location of hell and the nature of hell-fire. It argues that such divergences were polemically driven, but none the less contributed to the so-called ‘decline of hell’.

    Early Modern Women: An Interdiciplinary Journal 2006, vol. 1 Maladies up Her Sleeve? Clerical Interpretation of a Suffering Female Body in Counter-Reformation Spain1 Susan Laningham n the second Sunday of Lent in 1598, just as she was about to take Othe holy wafer of communion in the convent of Santa Ana in Ávila, Spain, a thirty-seven-year-old Cistercian nun named María Vela found she could not open her mouth.2 Shocked witnesses reported that María’s jaws were clenched “as if they were nailed,” and no one could wrench them apart. Over the next year, María’s mysterious ailment occurred intermit- tently, sometimes only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The Cisterican sisters would rush early to her room on those mornings, hoping to get her to eat before the malady reappeared, only to find her teeth already clamped shut.3 Complicating the situation was a host of other inexplicable physical ailments: a distended abdomen that arched her spine to the breaking point, hands knotted in a vice-like grip,4 violent tremors, and raging fevers. There were also the illnesses that normally plagued María: spasms in her joints, fluid in her lungs, vertigo, and seizures that some attributed to epilepsy. Accommodations were made for her, not simply because she ailed or came from a distinguished Spanish family,5 but because she claimed that heav- enly visions and voices had revealed to her that all her excruciating pains were sent from God. Since many of her illnesses defied diagnosis, she was fast becoming a topic of unremitting gossip inside and outside the convent walls.

Curran Associate Professor of Art History Dissertation Co-Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Elizabeth J. Walters Associate Professor of Art History Simone Osthoff Associate Professor of Art Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii Abstract The Cristo yacente, or supine Christ, is a sculptural type whose origins date back to the Middle Ages. In seventeenth-century Spain these images became immensely popular as devotional aids and vehicles for spiritual contemplation. As a form of sacred drama these sculptures encouraged the faithful to reflect upon the suffering, death, and Resurrection of Christ as well as His promise of salvation. Perhaps the most well-known example of this type is by the Valladolidian sculptor, Gregorio Fernández (1576-1636). Located in the Capuchin Convent of El Pardo near Madrid, this work was created in accordance with Counter-Reformation mandates that required religious images inspire both piety and empathy. As a “semi-narrative”, the Cristo yacente encompasses different moments in the Passion of Christ, including the Lamentation, Anointment, and Entombment.

    THE INTELLECTUAL LEGACY OF THE PADRES PAÚLES AND THE RARE BOOKS COLLECTION OF SEMINARIO MAYOR DE SAN CARLOS Aloysius Lopez Cartagenas “If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson The Vincentian Fathers have been at the forefront of the formation of the Filipino clergy since the time of the Spanish occupation. They have been the administrators and formators of seminaries in different areas in the country at some point or other; in particular, the San Carlos Major Seminary in Cebu, which has been recently turned over to the diocesan clergy. The article illustrates the kind of academic, philosophical and theological training that the Vincentian Fathers have provided for the formation of the clergy in Cebu through the books and materials they have left behind, after they turned over the administration. Through this collection of books and references, some dating hundreds of years ago but are still significantly valuable, the seminary, as the paper suggests, has an indispensable tool in its hand to continue the legacy that the Vincentian Fathers have started, as far as the formation of a well-equipped, edified clergy is concerned. O n 21 March 1998, during the closing ceremonies of the school year presided over by the Archbishop of Cebu, Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, the Congregation of the Mission, represented by Fr. Manuel Ginete, formally turned over the administration of Seminario Mayor de San Carlos (Cebu City, Philippines) back to the Diocesan Clergy of Cebu. It had been more than a hundred years since the first Hapag 9, No.

NEILL LIBRARY to t 28/2 MARCH 1996 ON COLLEGE THE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY A group of Jesuits appointed from their provinces in the United States. The Seminar studies topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially American Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces. This is done in the spirit of Vatican II's recom- mendation that religious institutes recapture the original inspiration of their founders and adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar wel- comes reactions or comments in regard to the material that it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the United States. The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, and laity, to both men and women. Hence, the studies, while meant especially for American Jesuits, are not exclu- sively for them. Others who may find them helpful are cordially welcome to read them. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR George M. Anderson, S.J., is associate editor of America, in New York, and writes regularly on social issues and the faith (1993). Peter D. Byrne, S.J., is rector and president of St. Michael's Institute of Philoso- phy and Letters at Gonzaga University, Spokane, Wash. (1994).

Portier This dissertation examines the theological work of John Hugo by looking at its roots within the history of Ignatian spirituality, as well as within various nature-grace debates in Christian history. It also attempts to situate Hugo within the historical context of early twentieth-century Catholicism and America, particularly the period surrounding the Second World War. John Hugo (1911-1985) was a priest from Pittsburgh who is perhaps best known as Dorothy Day‟s spiritual director and leader of “the retreat” she memorialized in The Long Loneliness. Throughout much of American Catholic scholarship, Hugo‟s theology has been depicted as rigorist and even labeled as Jansenist, yet it was embraced by and had a great influence upon Day and many others.

  • SPIRIT THROUGH TIME a History of the Spirituality of the Society of Jesus José García De Castro Valdés SJ Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Madrid (Spain)
    SPIRIT THROUGH TIME A History of the Spirituality of the Society of Jesus José García de Castro Valdés SJ Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Madrid (Spain) When the Society of Jesus was founded by Pope Paul III1, a new trend in spirituality arose inside the Catholic Church. Even though the followers and the first companions of Ignatius of Loyola were never known or never called “Ignatians”2, this new spirituality is nowadays recognized as “Ignatian Spirituality”, that is, a new path, a new method to search for God proposed by Ignatius and his first Companions3 and mainly fixed in the text of the Spiritual Exercises and the Constitutions of the Society of Jesus. In order to understand the origins and development of this spirituality, and how this movement of the Holy Spirit has reached us, we will try to follow the historical development of the Society of Jesus. It is a long period of 475 years full of life, including a wide variety of experiences all around the world and in many different fields of human culture. The more we approach the history of the Society of Jesus, the more we realize how wide and deep the contribution of the Jesuits was to build the history and culture of Western tradition. Because of the new features of this new congregation founded by Ignatius and his companions, the Jesuits could move around the world and were allowed to preach the Gospel through many different means, which they called “ministries”4. They did not adopt a single specific work (healing, education, preaching…) as their charismatic mission.
