The central question of investigation in the book is the problem statement of the extent to which the social teaching of the Church as well as its application in the social education and ethics of Kentenich may apply or may not apply in throwing more light on the chronic African problem of underdevelopment in Kenya. And the outstanding problem is posed with a view to overcoming obstacles on the way to integral development. Among known hindrances to authentic human development, especially since gaining political independence in 1963, is the thriving culture of corruption and greed. The latter is grounded on the sectarian or divisive tribalism as a biased affiliation of brotherhoods against perceived non-brothers. As no kingdom divided against itself can stand, the antago- nistic tribal affiliations breeding corruption and greed work to the detriment of social justice as well as the common good and integral development. As a logical consequence, the moral methodological justification for as well as the doctrinal source of inspiration in grounding the African social analysis on the social teaching of the Church as applied in Kentenich’s social education and ethics is the faith-awareness that the Church is a master or expert in humanity. And this doctrinal contention, is made from the biblico-theological stance of the universal missionary command of Jesus to his disciples:» Going out teach all nations…» (Mt 28:19). As it has already been observed, Joseph Kentenich is a living witness of the expertise of the Church on humanity today as it was in the after- math of the Industrial Revolution during the Great Depression in 1930s.

Joseph Kentenich on October 18th, 1914. The logo at the cover of this book is a souvenir of the 100th. Jubilee. This work is then dedicated as a Jubilee Gift to the International Schoenstatt Family and especially to Schoenstatt Family in Africa. ForeworD In this book, Kamau Joseph Kariuki presents integral human development, based on the social teaching of the Roman Catholic church and the social educa- tion and ethics of Joseph Kentenich, as the basis for a more lasting and effective means of addressing what he sees as the chronic problem of underdevelopment in Kenya. Kariuki asserts that, especially since independence, corruption and greed fueled by other mitigating factors, such as tribal/ethnic belonging, have stymied the possibility of integral human development. Historical responses to this have primarily targeted economic and social issues but have not adequately addressed how these structural responses relate to the moral theological bases of these issues and more specifically to theindividual at the moral theological level. Kariuki situates the problematic and its resolution in the need for an integration of western liberal economic structures (liberal and neo-liberal capitalism) and an African socialism (typified byharambee ). This integration, suggests Kariuki, can optimally relate individual human rights with the needs and demands of the community and/or state. The inclusion of Joseph Kentenich and the Apostolic Movement of Schoenstatt is intended to underscore how the integration of indi- vidual human rights with the needs/demands of a community can be helped by understanding the process of self-education as key to the repersonalization of individual and social relationships. Kariuki further argues that the social teach- ing of the Roman Catholic church supports such an integration and he affirms this by a careful presentation of Catholic social teaching from 1880 to the pres- ent day, all the while showing how Catholic social teaching understands human development as integral human development and as a human right that should be promoted and safeguarded by communities and states. In the end, integral human development promotes what Kariuki calls an inculturated African ethics of human development, which “is understood as an activity of the mind relating known African values to Western patterns of thought for reciprocal adjustment and mutual enrichment or integral development”, and an African theology of human development which makes use of “rich African values that would be en- nobled through dialogue with similar gospel values”. In this work then, Kariuki is calling for a truly global solution to a local situation. He makes us aware that integral human development is not just an option but also a necessity and a hu- man right if we are to see the flourishing of human dignity and happiness in our world. Gerald M. Boodoo iv ABSTrACT It has been commonly held that the main cause of underdevelop- ment is the lack of capital. This research is based on the observation that underdevelopment still persists in Kenya despite billions of dol- lars in foreign aid from Western Europe and North America. The main focus of this work is an attempt to understand an effective remedial action to such an economic situation of underdevelopment. The re- search work seeks to find the remedy for underdevelopment by the methodological means of demonstrating how a holistic understanding of human development entails integral development in Kenya. The thesis and the overview of this study are in the introduction. The claim that Kenya is still a developing nation is demonstrated in the first chapter. Chapter two clarifies the social education and ethics of Joseph Kentenich in pedagogical terms of self-education. Chap- ter three seeks a holistic understanding of human development as integral development with a view to overcoming underdevelopment in the methodological light of the pre-Vatican II social teaching of the Church. Chapter four illustrates such a holistic understanding as a rights-based concept of human development. Chapter five attempts to specify the post-conciliar holistic understanding of human develop- ment as integral development with a view to overcoming underdevel- opment. Chapter six searches for the remedy for underdevelopment within the conceptual framework of a rights-based understanding of human development as integral development. The concluding chapter seven seeks to contextualize the findings of the research work within the historical background of the nation- v state of Kenya. It proposes a cross-cultural encounter between African socialism and Western liberalism.

  • The Theology of the Lay Apostolate
    THE THEOLOGY OF THE LAY APOSTOLATE When Monsignor Murphy requested me to prepare this paper on the theology of the lay apostolate for the 19S9 convention of the Catholic Theological Society of America he indicated that the Com- mittee on Current Problems was interested in the topic in order that a course on the subject could be worked into the seminary frame- work. This seminar, therefore, has a twofold purpose: an inquiry into the theological problems of the lay apostolate and the more practical issue of the relationship of those questions to the seminary curriculum. In order that the second objective might be at least par- tially realized a letter was mailed to the major seminaries of the United States to determine the present status of the theology of the lay apostolate in the seminary course. Forty-five replies were re- ceived and the information can be summarized rather briefly. Nine- teen of the forty-five seminaries said that nothing or practically nothing was done. The remaining twenty-six all treated the topic in one way or another, either in elective seminars, special classes or lectures, in extra-curricular activities or in other classes. The most common method was to consider the lay apostolate in courses already in the curriculum, for example in Dogma (de Ecclesia, de Baptismo, de Confirmatione, de Verbo Incarnato), in Missiology, Pastoral Theology and Catechetics. In the last three cases the treatment tended to be more practical. Whether or not a special course should be introduced into the seminary is questionable. Those who expressed themselves on this point thought that the cur- riculum is already overcrowded and that seminarians have too little opportunity for individual study and reflection.

It is arguable that this prejudice is becoming less topical by the year, for various reasons; among others, Franco died over a quarter of a century ago. Furthermore, Opus Dei is a world-wide institution. However, the theme occasionally comes to the fore. One can still find articles in works of reference affirming that Opus Dei had political influence in Franco’s government, through the important posts occupied by its members.

Mostrom All rights reserved 2018 iii ABSTRACT YVES CONGAR’S THEOLOGY OF LAITY AND MINISTRIES AND ITS THEOLOGICAL RECEPTION IN THE UNITED STATES Name: Mostrom, Alan D. University of Dayton Advisor: William L. Portier, Ph.D. Yves Congar’s theology of the laity and ministries is unified on the basis of his adaptation of Christ’s triplex munera to the laity and his specification of ministry as one aspect of the laity’s participation in Christ’s triplex munera. The seminal insight of Congar’s adaptation of the triplex munera is illumined by situating his work within his historical and ecclesiological context. The U.S. reception of Congar’s work on the laity and ministries, however, evinces that Congar’s principle insight has received a mixed reception by Catholic theologians in the United States due to their own historical context as well as their specific constructive theological concerns over the laity’s secularity, or the priority given to lay ministry over the notion of a laity.

  • THE MARYKNOLL SOCIETY and the FUTURE a PROPOSAL William B
    THE MARYKNOLL SOCIETY AND THE FUTURE A PROPOSAL William B. Frazier MM As the third Christian millennium unfolds, Society members are well aware that our numbers are steadily declining. Regions are merging, promotion houses are closing, and efforts are being made to tighten the structures of leadership. The occasion of this paper is an awareness that another step may need to be taken to deal realistically with the situation in which we find ourselves today. Some Society-wide reflection needs to begin regarding the fu- ture of the Society as a whole. In addition to the measures now being taken to right-size and restructure ourselves, should there not be an effort to develop some contingency plans aimed at a time when we might be reduced to a to- ken presence in the countries and peoples we now serve and have such a step forced upon us? What follows is a pro- posal to get the membership thinking about the future of Maryknoll in terms that go beyond the internal adjusting currently under way. On every level of the Society we need to surface scenarios about the Society’s future in face of the possibil- ity of severely reduced membership. It is a matter of preparing ourselves in advance for a series of developments beyond our control, developments that will no longer yield to more and better intra-Societal adjustments. In order to put some flesh on these bones, let me present two scenarios that might be considered. Scenario #1 The Maryknoll Society would remain basically what it is at present and would learn to live and be produc- tive with relatively few permanent members.
