We congratulate the students and thank their families for sending them to Catholic School. It takes a great deal of sacrifice to send your children to a Catholic school. I need not tell you how expensive it is to live in Pearl River, with all the taxes especially the school tax. Certainly, it is the choice of the parents who decide to sacrifice much to send their children to Catholic school. I believe certainly and then some, it is well worth the sacrifice. All except one will be attending Catholic High School, and combined they received over $350,000 in scholarships. The Class of 2018, now proud alumni of the School, are a wonderful group of kids. All the teachers said the same thing, that they will be missed. I know they were given the right foundation for their life at St. Margaret’s. We look forward to hearing great things about them. I also congratulate all our young parishioners who had been graduated from Pearl River High School this past Wednesday evening, as well as, all the other schools. School’s out for summer! We are grateful to God for summertime and may we not forget God amidst the joys of summer and to get to Mass every Sunday. There’s a Catholic church in every vacation town, just how hard will you look for it? RENEW AND REBUILD To keep you informed about our progress with the school boiler. The size of the original boiler was almost 3 times the size needed! I guess the Sisters and students wanted to make sure they were kept warm!! So, the first good news is that we don’t need that large size boiler, which will certainly free up a lot of room in the boiler room. We are looking at purchasing two smaller, efficient boilers, with zone heating. We are now going out to bid for the purchase of the boilers and the plumbing that will be needed. Once we have the new system, we will then begin the demolition of the old boiler. It will, hopefully, take place this summer. A great deal of gratitude to Kevin Stokes and his talented workers, our drainage problem has been solved in the front plaza. New pipes were fitted properly and put down, pitched correctly, gravel and cement work, and pavers replaced. Please God; there will be no more cave-ins in the front plaza. A reminder if you haven’t already pledged to the Campaign, there is still time to join your fellow parishioners and help renew and rebuild St. Margaret’s parish for the future. You can call, or drop off the pledge form to the Parish Center, the Priest Residence, and offertory basket.

  • Albert the Great on the Subject of Metaphysics and Demonstrating the Existence of God TIMOTHY B
    Albert the Great on the Subject of Metaphysics and Demonstrating the Existence of God TIMOTHY B. NOONE In his comprehensive study of Thomas Aquinas's Sen* tentia super Metaphysicam, James Doig introduces Albert the Great as one of the commentators whose interpretation of Aristotle's Meta- physics Thomas intended to challenge. In particular, Doig alleges that Albert's understanding of the formal object (or, in other terminology, the subject) of metaphysics is heavily indebted to the writings of Averroes, although the modern scholar acknowledges that Albert does not follow the Averroistic interpretation in all respects.1 Furthermore, Doig contends that Albert's own Metaphysics following Averroes's schema of metaphysical knowledge, contains no proof of the existence of God as the cause of being but simply relies on the proof of God as the cause of motion, as was developed in Aristotle's Physics.2 1. James C. Doig, Aquinas on Metaphysics: A Histσrico*Doctrinal Study of the Commentary on the Metaphysics (The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1972), pp. 53-54, 125-152. The present paper originated as part of the author's licentiate thesis at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Toronto. I would like to dedicate the paper to the late James A. Weisheipl, who directed the thesis, even as I acknowledge that he would have disagreed heartily with its conclusions. 2. For example, Doig, Aquinas on Metaphysics, pp. 202, 204. 31 32 TIMOTHY B.

  • The Friendships of St. Thomas
    THE FRIENDSHIPS OF ST. THOMAS BRO. CYRIL DORE, 0 . P. T . Thomas Aquinas is a perfect type of that harmonious un­ ion of sanctity and learning which characterizes the great Doctors of the Church. A tender affection and a sympathetic understanding, which unites hearts entirely devoted to God, can be observed in all his friendships. While bearing himself affably towards all, the Angelic Doctor had but few intimate friends and these were persons of singular learning and holiness. From a consideration of these few, we can see the great influence for good which he exerted, the wide extent of his knowledge, and the deep penetration of his in­ tellectual prowess. They not only give us an insight into the reaction of personality on personality and the interplay of mind on mind, but in a very special manner, they exhibit the practical aspect of his writ­ ings. From the investigations of his biographers, the friendships of St. Thomas can be considered under four headings; namely, within his own Order, in the religious world, in the academic world, and in the political world. Amongst the members of the Dominican Order, the first friend mentioned is John of St. Julian. He is referred to as the old adviser and dear familiar friend of St. Thomas.1 This celebrated preacher directed the footsteps of the young Aquinas during the three years previous to his entrance into the Dominican Order. As a student at the University of Naples, the mind and imagination of Aquinas were captivated by the sanctity, the learning and the marvellous activ­ ity of the Dominicans.

  • Punishment and Cooperation in Dynamic Public-Good Games
    Erschienen in: Review of Behavioral Economics ; 6 (2019), 1. - S. 19-37 https://dx.doi.org/10.1561/105.00000084 The Dose Does it: Punishment and Cooperation in Dynamic Public-Good Games Bettina Rockenbach1 and Irenaeus Wolff2∗ 1University of Cologne, Albertus Magnus Platz, Cologne, Germany 2University of Konstanz/TWI, Kreuzlingen, Switzerland ABSTRACT We experimentally study the role of punishment for cooperation in dynamic public-good problems where past payoffs determine present contribution capabilities. The beneficial role of punishment possibilities for cooperation is fragile: successful cooperation hinges on the presence of a common understanding of how punishment should be used. If high-contributors punish too readily, the group likely gets on a wasteful path of punishment and retaliation. If punishment is administered more patiently, even initially unco- operative groups thrive. Hence, when today’s punishment also determines tomorrow’s cooperation abilities, it seems crucial that groups agree on the right ‘dose’ of sanctions for punishment to support cooperation. Keywords: Cooperation, Dynamic game, Punishment, Retaliation, Endow- ment endogeneity, Experiment 1 Introduction An extensive literature has shown that opportunities for peer-punishment boost cooperation in social-dilemma settings (e.g., Fehr et al., 2002; Gintis et al., 2005; ∗We would like to thank the research group led by Urs Fischbacher, seminar audiences at the University of Erfurt, the 2010 annual meetings of the Association for Public Economic Theory (Istanbul) and the Economic Science Association (Copenhagen) as well as three anonymous referees for their helpful comments. We thank Özgür Gürerk for his contribution at an early stage of the project, in particular in the design phase.

  • Can a Man Commit Πορνεία with His Wife?
    JBL 137, no. 2 (2018): 383–398 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15699/jbl.1372.2018.345030 Can a Man Commit πορνεία with His Wife? david wheeler-reed jennifer w. knust [email protected] [email protected] Albertus Magnus College, Boston University, New Haven, CT, 06511 Boston MA 02215 dale b. martin [email protected] Yale University, New Haven, CT 06511 In Classical and Hellenistic Greek, apart from use by Jewish and Christian authors, πορνεία meant “prostitution.” Different words from the same word group (built on πορν-) all had something to do with prostitution. Πόρνη denoted a female prostitute, while πόρνος referred to a male prostitute who might be paid for sex with a man or a woman. Τὸ πορνεῖον referred to a brothel, and some form of the verb πορνεύω referred to one prostituting oneself or someone else. Πορνο- τρόφος referred to a pimp. Somewhere along the way, a group of words that in Greek and Latin seem to have originally referred simply to prostitution became in English a word referring, in most people’s usage, to any sexual intercourse outside the bonds of marriage. But is that all that Paul or other New Testament writers mean when they condemn or warn against πορνεία? In other words, does πορνεία when used by a New Testament writer refer only to “extramarital sex” between a man and a woman, or does it include other activities also? This article suggests that the answer varies depending on whom you ask. Recent scholars have tended to understand the term πορνεία simply as “sex outside marriage.”1 This point of view, however, is mistaken, whether the subject is ancient Greece or the later writings of Jews and Christians, and misrepresents the 1 See, e.g., Kyle Harper, From Shame to Sin: The Christian Transformation of Sexual Morality in Late Antiquity (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2013).

  • On the Latin Origins of Spanish Mediante
    languages Article On the Latin Origins of Spanish mediante Esther Artigas Departament de Filologia Clàssica, Romànica i Semítica, Universitat de Barcelona, 08007 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] Received: 4 February 2019; Accepted: 20 February 2019; Published: 28 February 2019 Abstract: This paper aims to contribute to the clarification of the linguistic and extra-linguistic circumstances that accompany the emergence and behavior of mediante in the first centuries of Spanish. To this end, the origin of the Latin participle medians, mediantis is examined and the evidence of its ablative form mediante in various contexts is also analysed and discussed. We conclude from our study that (1) the appearance of mediante in Latin takes place at a relatively late stage of Latin, it having entered the language as a grammatical calque from Greek; (2) in Latin, prepositional values of mediante, which do not necessarily originate from Latin absolute ablative clauses, are already detected; and finally, (3) discursive traditions and historical-cultural factors, in particular those developed in Patristic and Scholastic Literature, are fundamental for the understanding, not only of the evolution of mediante in Latin, but also of its introduccion into Spanish. Keywords: Latin mediante; grammatical calque; participle clause; prepositional value; discursive tradition 1. Introduction There is no dispute that mediante—a so-called improper, or imperfect, Spanish preposition—is derived from the Latin present participle medians,-ntis in absolute constructions. As it entered Spanish, it must have undergone a process of grammaticalization that led to the transcategorization from participle to preposition.1 Beyond these claims, the Latin origins of mediante have not been well defined, nor has their development in this language been sufficiently described and explained.

Innumerable books, movies, and even video games have been made about this struggle to combat heresy in the Middle Ages. Despite this apparent fascination with the subject, our understanding of medieval heretics and the inquisitors who prosecuted them remains murky. What we do know is that many medieval people lost their lives, while others were punished with imprisonment or excommunication.

  • The Historical Position of St. Thomas Aquinas. by Grace Rockwell
    THE HISTORICAL POSITION OF ST. THOMAS AQUINAS. BY GRACE ROCKWELL. IN recent years there has been a noticeable revival of interest in Scholasticism. Philosophers have professed to find the same logical and metaphysical problems in the writings of medieval thinkers that furnish the topics of their discussions. Whether much light will ultimately be obtained from these sources on the real philosophical problems of our day is a question that need not con- cern us here ; but one fact may be regarded as established—namely, that the opinion which used to look down upon the work of the medieval thinkers as nothing but a congeries of theological sophis- try, is utterly out of date. The Schoolmen strove as sincerely and earnestly to find the truth in their world as we are striving to find it in ours.; if their world was so different from ours it was not their fault. So if only to be just to the thinkers of the past, and thus to be just to ourselves, a brief review of their problems, and of the solutions which they attempted, may not be out of place. It is generally conceded that in the work of St. Thomas Aquinas. Scholasticism reached the summit of its achievement. In singling him out for our purpose, we shall consider his contem- poraries and immediate predecessors only as they contributed to shape his thought. It must of course be admitted that there would have been no St. Thomas, or at any rate a very different one. if it had not been for the work of the other great Schoolmen who preceded him, St.

    Albertus Magnus College N EW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT 2019–2021 COURSE CATALOGUE Traditional Undergraduate Program A Catholic College in the Dominican Tradition ALBERTUS MAGNUS COLLEGE Undergraduate Program Course Catalogue 2019–2021 t. Albert the Great, the patron of Albertus Magnus College, was born about 1200 into the family of the counts of Bollstadt at Lauingen in Swabia. After Sa few months of study at Bologna and Padua, he entered the recently founded Dominican order in 1223. For the next three decades he studied and taught in Paris and Cologne, where the young Thomas Aquinas was among his students. In 1254, Albert was elected prior provincial of Germany and soon after was appointed papal theologian and named Bishop of Ratisbon. Yearning for the academic life, he resigned his episcopal appointment in 1262 and returned to Cologne for a life of prayer and study. Albert died in Cologne in 1280. According to a contemporary, Albertus was a man “so superior in every science that he can fittingly be called the wonder and miracle of our time.” His encyclopedic writings include works on physics, geography, astronomy, chemistry, biology, philosophy, and the- ology. He was a major figure in the introduction of the work of Aristotle to the Latin West and was instrumental in the acceptance of human learning as an essential handmaid to theology. In 1933, Albert was proclaimed a saint and doctor of the Church. The contents of this catalogue were as accurate as possible at the time of printing.
