  • 'Traditional' Churches in Independent Ukraine
    Ukraine twenty years after independence ISBN 978-88-548-7765-8 DOI 10.4399/97888548776586 pag. 55–74 (febbraio 2015) ‘Traditional’ Churches In Independent Ukraine In Search of Common Identity F. Iwan Dacko, F. Oleh Turii It is general knowledge that the year 1989 marked a significant change in the public life of Eastern European countries. Ukraine was no exception. After the celebrations of the millennium of Baptism of Kyivan Rus’ (1988) one can even speak of a resurrection (Keleher 1993; 1997, Gudziak 1997, p. 49–72) of political, and particularly reli- gious life in Ukraine, which ultimately lead to the proclamation of its independence on 24 August 1991 and disintegration of Soviet Union. When we compare statistics they speak for themselves. In 1985 there were 16 religious confessions registered in the Ukrainian SSR, whereas in 2011 the number had risen to 120. In 1985, on the other hand, 6.2 thousand religious communities were oYcially recorded in Ukraine, whereas in 2011 they were 34.5 thousand, tendency increasing (Tserkva i suspil’stvo 2000–2001, p. 207)1. Objectively one has to admit that with such increase, there were tensions and conflict situations within these communities. This fact has been widely noted, especially among the Western mass media, frequently exaggerated and overestimated on all sides. Furthermore, there were and are tendencies to overemphasize these facts and politicize them. Today, however, after more than twenty years, we dare to express the opinion that basically it was, and still is the search towards self identification, or rather identity, of each religious community.

The ethnicgroups which are investigated include Poles, Irish, Italians, and Jews. An ethnic person is defined as anyone who decides to identify with and live among those who share the same immigrant memories and values. Ethnic origin, ethnic loyalties, and ethnic considerations playan important role in the political process of the United States. A separate chapter focuses on each of the four minority groups and its role in the process of American politics. Jews, labeled as the shaken liberals, have historically been staunch supporters of the liberal tradition as a unified voter block, but apparent conservative trends are showing as a reaction to radical liberalism and its support of the Arab nations. The Irish built and dominated political organizations, known as machines, in several cities and their predominance in city politics continues today. Italians'were rather slow in getting into politics, but in general Italiansare politically conservative, strong American patriots, disunited due to internal identity conflicts, and assimilating rapidly into U.S.

  • Adult Catechism Class January 25, 2016 the Ukrainian Catholic
    Adult Catechism Class January 25, 2016 The Ukrainian Catholic Church in our Modern World Part 1: Scripture Readings: Matthew 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 9:37-38: Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. “Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” John 10:14-16: I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. Part 2: What is the Ukrainian Catholic Church? In simplistic terms, the Ukrainian Catholic Church (also known as the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church) is a part of the Catholic Church that observes the same traditions as does Eastern Orthodoxy. It is, however, very much part of the Catholic Church. The head of the Universal Catholic Church, and hence the Ukrainian Catholic Church, is Pope Francis. The Ukrainian Catholic Church world-wide is governed internally by the Synod of Ukrainian Catholic Bishops; its highest ranking cleric is Patriarch (Major Archbishop) Sviatoslav Shevchuk.

  • Mieczysław Madaj, Roman Nir the Polish Parish Organization in Chicago
    Mieczysław Madaj, Roman Nir The Polish Parish Organization in Chicago Rocznik Kolbuszowski 16, 237-253 2016 KS. MIECZYSŁAW MADAJ, KS. ROMAN NIR – Chicago The Polish Parish Organization in Chicago The title „Polish Parish Organization in Chicago”, must be explained and its extent adjusted for our purpose here. „Polish Parish Organization” means the establishment of parishes for Americans of Polish descent both Catholic and non – Catholic. Although I am reasonably sure of the situation outside of the Archdiocese of Chicago, I am certain that in Chicago and its metropolitan area the only parishes are those of the Roman Catholic Church and those of the Polish National Church. Polish Americans may belong to congratulations of other denominations but there are no special parishes for them in the other persuasions. The word, „Chicago”, in the title is expanded here to include the metropolitan area of the city; more specifically this means the Archdiocese of Chicago. According to the 1975 edition of the Official Catholic Directory there were 2,466,294 Catholic in the Archdiocese of Chicago which consists of Cook and Lake Counties in northeastern Illinois. To serve all these people there were 455 parish churches, 5 missions and 345 chapels. At that time there were still 57 parishes and 2 missions that were considered Polish. In the same manner as these parishes are no longer exclusively Polish the re- maining 399 parishes also include Poles among their members. The national lines were held rather firmly until World War II, but following it these be- came increasingly obscured. Not only in territorial parishes but also in what are still loosely considered Polish parishes one finds Blacks and Hispanics among the members.
