Existing accounts of obligation cannot parry critiques from rival theories, nor refute philosophical anarchists’ formidable attack on obligation. To move discussion of obligation forward, this dissertation offers an alternative solution to what George Klosko has called the ‘voluntarist paradox’ of liberal-democratic political obligation. While liberal ideas about the individual require that any obligation to obey be assumed through a voluntary act, individuals do not voluntarily assume obligations frequently enough to support legitimacy claims. In response to this paradox, most scholars deploy non-voluntary justifications for a general obligation to obey, while philosophical anarchists deny that such an obligation exists at all. In contrast, I argue that overcoming the voluntarist paradox requires a radically different view of the aims and scope of political obligation.

Yocum This dissertation considers a spectrum of five distinct approaches that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomist Catholic thinkers utilized when engaging with the tradition of modern scientific psychology: a critical approach, a reformulation approach, a synthetic approach, a particular [Jungian] approach, and a personalist approach. This work argues that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomists were essentially united in their concerns about the metaphysical principles of many modern psychologists as well as in their worries that these same modern psychologists had a tendency to overlook the transcendent dimension of human existence. This work shows that the first four neo-Thomist thinkers failed to bring the traditions of neo-Thomism and modern psychology together to the extent that they suggested purely theoretical ways of reconciling them.

  • 'A New Imagination of the Possible': Seven Images from Francis for Post
    ‘A New Imagination of the Possible’: Seven Images from Francis for post-Covid-19 Add to Favorites Antonio Spadaro, SJ / Church Life / 14 July 2020 The first global pandemic of the digital age arrived suddenly. The world was stopped in its tracks by an unnatural suspension of activity that interrupted business and pleasure. “For weeks now it has been evening. Thick darkness has gathered over our squares, our streets and our cities; it has taken over our lives, filling everything with a deafening silence and a distressing void that stops everything as it passes by. We feel it in the air, we notice in people’s gestures, their glances give them away. We find ourselves afraid and lost.” These are the words Pope Francis used to portray the unprecedented situation. He pronounced them on March 27 before a completely empty Saint Peter’s Square, during an evening of Eucharistic adoration and an Urbi et Orbi blessing that was accompanied only by the sound of church bells mixed with ambulance sirens: the sacred and the pain. The pope has also stated that this crisis period caused by the Covid-19 pandemic is “ a propitious time to find the courage for a new imagination of the possible, with the realism that only the Gospel can offer us.”[1] The thick darkness, then, allows us to find the courage to imagine. How was it possible to send out such a message in a moment of depression and fear? We are accustomed to the probable, to what our minds suppose should happen, statistically speaking.

  • A Conversion … in the Language We Use”1
    MELITA THEOLOGICA Paul Pace Journal of the Faculty of Theology Nadia Delicata University of Malta 65/1 (2015): 75–96 “A Conversion … in the Language We Use”1 Introduction ope Francis’ challenge to seek and find an adequate pastoral response to Pnew family situations needs to be taken up boldly. There is no doubt that an important way of doing this is to reflect on the way we, as Church, consider family issues ad intra, but we also need to look at how we seek to communicate truths about the family with and to the world. Is the “Gospel of the Family” offering hope and joy to those in the fold who are struggling with complex family situations? Is it encouraging the conversion of those often deemed to be on the “margins” of the Church? Is our message about family life persuasive – in particular, in our case, in a strongly secularist European context? Reflection not just about the “message” but also about the way it is communicated is a key challenge for theologians, always called to read the signs of the times and to interpret the Gospel afresh. It is pivotal for ministers and church leaders called to guide the faithful along the steps of their pilgrim journey. It is also necessary for the Church’s task of evangelization in a post-Christian continent in particular, and in the “global village” at large. The challenge is that of finding a new language that speaks to the various audiences to whom we, as Church, are sent to share and proclaim the Gospel.

  • Planting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850–1950
    Planting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850–1950 Parliaments are often seen as Western European and North American institutions and their establishment in other parts of the world as a derivative and mostly defec- tive process. This book challenges such Eurocentric visions by retracing the evo- lution of modern institutions of collective decision-making in Eurasia. Breaching the divide between different area studies, the book provides nine case studies cov- ering the area between the eastern edge of Asia and Eastern Europe, including the former Russian, Ottoman, Qing, and Japanese Empires as well as their succes- sor states. In particular, it explores the appeals to concepts of parliamentarism, deliberative decision-making, and constitutionalism; historical practices related to parliamentarism; and political mythologies across Eurasia. It focuses on the historical and “reestablished” institutions of decision-making, which consciously hark back to indigenous traditions and adapt them to the changing circumstances in imperial and postimperial contexts. Thereby, the book explains how represent- ative institutions were needed for the establishment of modernized empires or postimperial states but at the same time offered a connection to the past.

Thinking and Feeling with the Church (Sentire Cum Ecclesia) Susan K. Wood Marquette University, Wisconsin In the sixteenth century, St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus, developed eighteen rules for ‘thinking with the church’ (sentire cum ecclesia) in his Spiritual Exercises. In many ways, it is an odd list that gives witness to its post-Reformation provenance. It includes such things as commending the confession of sins to a priest and frequent assistance at mass, approval of religious vows, veneration of relics, abstinence and fasts, and not speaking of predestination frequently. The historian reads these against the predestination of Calvin’s doctrine, Luther’s critique of monasticism, and the Reformation criticism of masses offered for the dead.

  • The Effectiveness of Restorative Justice in Response to Clergy Abuse
    \\jciprod01\productn\U\UST\17-1\UST103.txt unknown Seq: 1 26-MAR-21 10:42 ARTICLE HEALING THE HARM—THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE IN RESPONSE TO CLERGY ABUSE DANIEL GRIFFITH* In this article, I describe the nature of restorative justice, its origins, and its many practical uses in response to harm, including the harm of clergy abuse. Restorative justice interfaces well with the discipline and practice of law, as both are oriented to classic justice—giving each their due. Restorative practices are also consistent with biblical justice in that they foster right relationship among those who have been harmed and broader society. The fall 2019 law symposium at the University of St. Thomas School of Law ably demonstrated the utility of restorative justice in healing harm, as manifested through its diverse and adaptable applications.1 In teaching restorative justice to law students, my colleague Professor Hank Shea and I have discovered an openness to restorative practices and their power to bring personal healing to law students, where needed. In addition, restorative practices align well with important practical legal skills, consis- tent with emerging research that demonstrates that skills of listening, empa- thy, and teamwork are integral to successful lawyering.2 Drawing from restorative justice’s use in St. Paul and Minneapolis, critical foundations of biblical and Catholic thought, and the rich stories of Justice Janine Geske, a pioneer in this field, I will demonstrate why restora- * Daniel Griffith, a priest of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, was ordained in 2002.

  • The Universal Destination of Goods
    Journal of Markets & Morality Volume 8, Number 2 (Fall 2005): 333–354 Copyright © 2005 The Universal Destination of Goods The Ethics of Property in the Manfred Spieker Professor of Christian Social Thought Theory of a Universität Osnabrück Christian Society* Germany In its property ethics, the theory of a Christian society tries to bring together two statements that at first glance are not easily reconciled. The first statement under- scores the importance of private property to the freedom and personal develop- ment of a person and declares that the right to personal property is a natural law. The second statement reminds us that God has destined the goods of this earth to the benefit of all people and nations, and, therefore, they must also be enjoyed by all. When either statement is divorced from the other, misunderstandings, controversies, or even ideologies easily result. This holds for the Catholic theory of society as well as for Protestant social ethics. Even though most of the fol- lowing citations are taken from the social encyclicals and other documents of the Roman Catholic Church, all of the fundamental statements also hold for Protestant social ethics in the tradition of Martin Luther.1 Two Pillars of the Ethics of Property in the Theory of a Christian Society The first statement of the property ethics of Christian social theory, the empha- sis on the right to personal property, held up by Leo XIII in the 1891 encycli- cal Rerum Novarum (RN 4)2 against socialism, which, along with Karl Marx, saw in private property the source of all human alienation and all social mis- ery and hoped—at least until 1989—for a paradise on earth by its elimination, can, if taken in isolation, lead to the misunderstanding that Christian social theory wants to legitimize the existing property system in the industrialized Western nations.
