This Orientation issue of the Libraries Newsletter highlights those services you will need to get started, but I hope in the course of the year you’ll take advantage of our deeper collections and services and apply them to your learning, teaching and research. First Year students, you will be introduced to the Libraries and develop your skills in critically analyzing information sources through your course work. For many of you our online collections and services will satisfy your basic needs. But please be aware of our special collections where you have a unique opportunity to see first hand the source materials which are a part of our heritage, whether it is medieval philosophical manuscripts or letters between Catholic labor leaders from the early 20th century. The Libraries also provide great space to study. Whether you need solitary quiet space or a place to get together with your classmates or professors you can find many options within Mullen Library or in our four campus libraries. The most important bit of information I want to impart to all our new students and faculty is our librarians, archivists and the rest of the library staff are eager to help you with your research and course needs. Please have a look at the articles on the services we provide and if you have any questions, please AskaLibrarian. Thank you and all the best as we begin this new academic year together!

In small, supportive learning communities, students study philosophy, theology, and writing. Students learn to think more rigorously, write more persuasively, and read more perceptively while coming face-to-face with the great questions that have shaped human history and that continue to confront us today.

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012 The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) and the Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering & Technology (LHL) formed a strategic partnership to preserve and develop historical research collections in the fields of science, technology, and engineering. This service is known as Rapid ILL (RILL) CUA University Libraries implemented RapidILL in April 2012. RapidILL is a unique resource sharing system that was designed by the Interlibrary Loan staff at Colorado State University Libraries. Following a devastating flood in July of 1997, RapidILL was developed to provide very fast cost effective article requesting and delivery through Interlibrary Loan. The Rapid database is unique in several ways. » RILL is designed specifically for resource sharing activity. Only information essential to borrowing and lending material is maintained in the database. » RILL is comprised only of the holdings of the participating Rapid libraries. Each library provides a holdings file to the Rapid programming team for inclusion in the database. you decide what material you will supply from, and if you want to block a specific collection or title. » RILL’s database is unmatched in depth of indexing. Most ILL databases index only to the journal title level, but Rapid matches to 3 of 8 9/9/2016 12:12 PM CUA Libraries Online » Orientation 2012 http://www.lib.cua.edu/wordpress/newsletter/category/orientation-2012/ the year level. When your borrowing request matches in the Rapid database you know that year of that title is held by a Rapid participant. Holdings are updated on a six-month cycle. Currently, CUA Libraries subscribes to Academic Pod E, consisting of 112 institutions. RapidILL schools are contractually obligated to fill requests within 24 hours. Since April 2012 RapidILL has filled 530 requests for articles from CUA and averaged 14.4 hours turnaround.

  • Years of Storm & Stress
    YEARS OF STORM & STRESS Joseph Matt & Americanism with a commentary and notes by Paul Likoudis on Matt's “A Centenary of Catholic Life in Minnesota” published by The Wanderer, January – August 2012 From January to August 2012, The Wanderer published, and offered commentary, on a remarkable series of 36 articles written by this newspaper's long-serving editor Joseph Matt (1877-1966) in 1950-'51 on Americanism, “the German question,” and subjects related to “Cahenslyism,” named after the German Catholic layman Peter Paul Cahensly, who devoted himself to the aid of German-Catholic immigrants. In this series of articles, Joseph Matt told the German-American Catholics' side of the story of what the late Monsignor George Kelly would call the “Battle for the American Church”; i.e. German Catholic opposition to the nascent modernism in Americanism and the Americanist hierarchy's determination to assimilate German Catholics into the American melting pot. As a sort of prelude to this series, we will enter the field of German-American Catholic historiography with some snips from a paper read by University of Chicago historian Kathleen Neils Conzen at the first Edmund Spevack Memorial Lecture at Harvard University, November 7, 2003, which touches on many of the issues we will see Joseph Matt discussing in that series of 36 articles sixty years ago, as he reflected back on the battles of the of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: “....Catholicism has long seemed like an embarrassing guest at the table of American historiography,” observed Conzen, “best ignored in the hope that it will not make a disturbing fuss.

These themes are united to a program of reform touching on doctrinal, ecclesiological, and pastoral matters; as well as attendant wider theological, philosophical, and affective issues. However, the general unsystematicity of both these readings and Francis’ texts themselves makes it difficult to receive those texts in a way that integrates these various themes.

    Ospino- 19th Century Debates about the Need for Catholic Schools IMPORTANT: This essay is a work in progress prepared for the 2013 Annual Meeting of the REA in Boston and should be treated as such. The work still needs some good editing and completion of arguments. Do not cite it in part or in its totality without the explicit written permission of the author who will make sure that any citable section will have been completely revised and demonstrates an acceptable level of academic accuracy. The author can be contacted via email. Thanks. Hosffman Ospino, PhD Assistant Professor of Theology and Religious Education Boston College Email: [email protected] 2013 REA Annual Meeting, Nov 8–10 Nineteenth Century Debates about the Need for Catholic Schools as a Legitimate Alternative to the Public School System in the United States: Lessons from Yesterday, Implications for Today Major debates about the need for Catholic schools during the nineteenth century capture the passion and tensions around the question of what it means to be Catholic and American. In this essay we look at two major case studies that bring together a polyphony of voices addressing the question of why Catholic schools are needed―or not―within the overall American experiment. The essay shows how key debates leading to the establishment of the largest network of schools sponsored by one single denomination in the country was the result of four streams of arguments: philosophical/theological, educational, political, and cultural. The essay offers important insights for similar conversations as well as for others that remain unfinished as Catholics and other Christian continue to wrestle with the idea of denominational education in the secular State.

  • Bishop Mcquaid and Archbishop Ireland: School Controversy Or
    Bishop McQuaid And Archbishop Ireland: School Controversy Or Otherwise? by Jeffrey S. Tunnicliff Theological College Rev. David D. Thayer, S.S. December 28, 2008 I. Introduction Today, many Catholic parochial schools are facing declining enrollment and lack of funding. This naturally leads to the question, ‘Do we really need parochial schools?’ This is not a new question. In fact, the necessity of parochial schools was a central issue facing the Catholic Church in America during the Nineteenth Century. It seemingly strikes at the core of the Catholic School Controversy that erupted in the 1890’s. Two of the leading bishops in the controversy representing opposing sides were Bishop Bernard J. McQuaid of Rochester and Archbishop John Ireland of St. Paul. McQuaid enjoyed the support of Archbishop Michael Corrigan of New York while Ireland had the support of Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore. Beginning in the 1870’s McQuaid was a regular lecturer on the need for Catholic Schools. Ireland was a bishop of a ‘frontier’ diocese and an avid supporter of Americanization. He sought to help Catholic immigrants become good American citizens and thus saw the ideal as Catholics attending public schools. For Ireland, parochial schools were only necessary because the public schools failed in their responsibilities. A controversy is never simple. This paper will examine the controversy between Archbishop Ireland and Bishop McQuaid. It will present the background on each bishop and the circumstances that helped shape their position on the need for Catholic Schools. In order to do this, we must first understand the setting of the Catholic Church in America leading up to the eruption of the controversy in the 1890’s.

  • “American Catholics and the Intellectual Life”
    Boston College -- Office of University Mission and Ministry “American Catholics and the Intellectual Life” BY JOHN TRACY ELLIS Published in Thought 30 (Autumn 1955). ©1955 Fordham University Press. Used with permission. Within the last year the role of the intellectual in American society has been submitted to a searching scrutiny rarely if ever before witnessed in this country. Some of these critiques, such as the comments of Russell Kirk and Clinton Rossiter, have been more immediately concerned with the relation of the intellectual to what has been termed the "new conservatism."1 The greater number, however, have taken a broader view, and have sought to trace the causes for the anti-intellectual temper of our society, and to suggest ways that will enable the intellectual to move out of the isolated and suspect position to which so many of his fellow citizens have assigned him. In this latter category mention might be made of the stimulating essays of Francis G. Wilson, Phillip Blair Rice, Robert F. Fitch, Henry Steele Commager, John U. Nef, and Merle Curti.2 The authors of all these articles are themselves intellectuals. The sincerity with which they approach their task is manifest, and the loyalty which they demonstrate to the highest ideals of their profession will prove heartening to anyone who has chosen a vocation to the intellectual life. Their analysis reveals a universal agreement that the situation of the intellectual in the United States has been, and is at the present time, deplorable. But what gives to the observations of these scholars a truly refreshing quality is the healthy spirit of self-criticism which most of them display.

In relation to this, analyzing The Bell Jar through psychoanalytic and feminist literary criticism reveal the fact that Sylvia Plath not only managed to create an organic form of writing, which encapsulates her poems, short stories and journals, all of which turn back to The Bell Jar , but also built her powerful political discourse upon The Bell Jar , which was not a pot boiler, but a reflector of the sociology of Cold War America.

  • The Catholic Church and the Chicago Parliaments of Religions
    Standing with Unfamiliar Company on Uncommon Ground: The Catholic Church and the Chicago Parliaments of Religions by Carlos Hugo Parra A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Carlos Hugo Parra 2012 Standing with Unfamiliar Company on Uncommon Ground: The Catholic Church and the Chicago Parliaments of Religions Carlos Hugo Parra Doctor of Philosophy Theory and Policy Studies in Education University of Toronto 2012 Abstract This study explores the struggle of the Catholic Church to be true to itself and its mission in the midst of other religions, in the context of the non-Catholic American culture, and in relation to the modern world and its discontents. As milestones of the global interfaith movement, American religious freedom and pluralism, and the relation of religion to modernity, the Chicago Parliaments of Religions offer a unique window through which to view this Catholic struggle at work in the religious public square created by the Parliaments and the evolution of that struggle over the course of the century framed by the two Chicago events. In relation to other religions, the Catholic Church stretched itself from an exclusivist position of being the only true and good religion to an inclusivist position of recognizing that truth and good can be present in other religions. Uniquely, Catholic involvement in the centennial Parliament made the Church stretch itself even further, beyond the exclusivist-inclusivist spectrum into a pluralist framework in which the Church acted humbly as one religion among many.

  • Thomas Joseph Bouquillon: Americanist, Neo-Scholastic, Or Manualist?
    • CTSA PROCEEDINGS 50 (1995): 156-73 • THOMAS JOSEPH BOUQUILLON: AMERICANIST, NEO-SCHOLASTIC, OR MANUALIST? Thomas Joseph Bouquillon was born near Lille in Belgium in 1840 the second of five children of a family of small landowners.1 He felt a call to the priesthood and had a brilliant record as a student at the minor seminary at Roulers and the major seminary at Bruges. In 1863 the Bishop of Bruges sent this young student to Rome to continue his studies and he obtained a doctorate in theology at the Gregorian University in Rome in 1867. With his Roman doctorate Bouquillon began to teach fundamental moral theology at the major seminary in Bruges in 1867 but two years later moved to the class of special moral theology which deals with specific actions. In August 1877 his bishop authorized him to accept the chair of moral theology in the faculty of theology of the newly established Catholic University of Lille. However, in 1885 he left this chair at Lille for reasons that are not altogether clear and retired to the Benedictine monastery of Maredsous to work on a thorough revision of his book on fundamental moral theology which had first been published in 1873. He had found it difficult to do such work while teaching, preparing courses, and directing students at Lille.2 The second edition, eventually published in 1890, added much to the original and included a long history of moral theology which showed both his knowledge of the sources and his ability to synthesize and analyze their contributions.3 Meanwhile the bishops of the United States announced their intention to open, with papal authorization, the Pontifical Catholic University of America in Washington, D.
