Biographical History Phyllis Zagano was born in Queens, New York, on August 25, 1947 to Paul L. and Elizabeth Kerwick Zagano. She was graduated from Sacred Heart Academy (High School) in June 1965 and holds the B.A. from Marymount College in Tarrytown, NY, (1969) a Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Stony Brook (1979), and three Master’s degrees: communications from Boston University (1970), literature from Long Island University (1972), and theology from St. John's University (1991). She also served 31 years in the U.S. Navy Reserve as a public affairs officer and retired with the rank of Commander. Dr. Zagano is presently the Senior Research Associate-in-Residence and Adjunct Professor of Religion at Hofstra University, where she has taught "Mysticism and the Spiritual Quest" and "History of Irish Spirituality" since 2002. In 2005 she was Visiting Professor of Catholic Studies at the Yale Divinity School and a consultant to the Templeton Positive Psychology Project “Spirituality and Living Well” at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Zagano taught at Fordham University (1980-1984). In 1984, the New York States Division of Human Rights found probable cause that Fordham University discriminated against her. Zagano also sued Fordham for discrimination on gender and religious grounds by her department chair, an editorial writer for the pornographic magazine Screw. Although the Federal case was administratively dismissed, causing the State case to be dropped, it succeeded in increasing public awareness of the occasionally contradictory aspects of “academic freedom” at faith-based universities. She then worked as a researcher at the Catholic Archdiocese of New York (1984-86). At Boston University (1988-1999), she taught in the College of Communication, the School of Theology, and the Program of International Relations, and was Director of the Institute for Democratic Communication. She was a Coolidge Fellow at the Episcopal Divinity School (Cambridge, MA) in 1987 and has held research grants from several institutions, including the U. S. Institute of Peace (1987-89), the Louisville Institute (1998) and the Wabash Center (2003).

Throughout her career, Dr. Zagano has written numerous articles in periodicals and scholarly journals, and opinion essays in local and national newspapers. Her provocative and forthright opinions have generated conversation as well as the occasional controversy. For several years she was the Catholic columnist for the nationally-syndicated Religion News Service. Currently, she writes a twice-monthly column for the National Catholic Reporter. She has authored or edited 15 books including the award-winning Holy Saturday: An Argument for the Restoration of the Female Diaconate in the Catholic Church. Several of her books have been translated into other languages and been audio-recorded, and she enjoys an international reputation as a Catholic scholar and speaker. Additionally, while at Boston University Dr. Zagano conducted fifty hour-long discussions for National Public Radio. Dr. Zagano is also a founding co-chair of the Roman Catholic Studies Group of the American Academy of Religion, and a member of the American Catholic Philosophical Association, the Society for the Study of Christian Spirituality, the College Theology Society, the Catholic Theological Society of America, and the Association of the United States Navy.

Marsh During the Second Week of the Exercises, we are called to grow in the love of Christ—it is only on this basis that good discernments about discipleship can be made. Rob Marsh uncovers some erotic elements in the Ignatian process, and offers directors of the Exercises some provocative suggestions about love. Pierre Favre and the Experience of Salvation 21-40 Michel de Certeau Michel de Certeau (1925-1986) began his distinguished academic career with studies of two great French-speaking Jesuit figures in the history of spirituality: Jean-Joseph Surin (1600-1665) and Pierre Favre (1506- 1540). To mark Favre’s centenary, we publish in English this classic, eloquent article which brings out the relational warmth of Favre’s spiritual personality. Ignatian Spirituality and Positive Psychology 41-58 Phyllis Zagano and C. Kevin Gillespie Classically, psychology has often focused on how people’s lives are going wrong; by contrast, Positive Psychology, an approach developed in the last decade, aims to build on what is going well in our lives. A theologian and a Jesuit psychologist explore the convergences between this new psychological approach and Ignatian spirituality.

  • “Your Love and Your Grace. It Is All I Need.” Joan L. Roccasalvo, C.S.J. Week of November 16, 2017
    “Your love and your grace. It is all I need.” Joan L. Roccasalvo, C.S.J. Week of November 16, 2017 How many times had they prayed in solitude and in public, “Give me your love and your grace. It is all I need?” A thousand times? In the end, they had no time to utter lengthy prayers, perhaps not even this final verse of St. Ignatius’ self-offering. Leisurely, they had prayed it for years. Now they were suddenly called on to live it in death. In the stealth of night, in those early hours of November 16th, 1989, six Jesuits were prodded from a deep sleep and dragged out of their beds to the grounds of their University of Central America. That moment had come when the prayer of self-giving would ask of them a final Yes. They were not entirely caught by surprise. Their residence had been visited a few days before. It was a warning as though to say: ‘Teach, but stay out of our business.’ Of all people, a young student of the Jesuit high school was enlisted to execute in cold blood six Jesuits, their cook and her daughter: Ignacio Ellacuría, the University Rector, an internationally known philosopher and tireless in his efforts to promote peace through his writings, conferences and travels abroad; . They also split open his head and spread his brains on the grass to make it clear why he had been killed. They certainly understood the symbolism of the head, the seat of the intellect. Segundo Montes. Head of the University of Central America sociology department, director of the new human rights institute, superior of the Jesuit community.

    Thirty Years Later: Remembering the U.S. Churchwomen in El Salvador and the United States Theresa Keeley U.S. Catholic Historian, Volume 38, Number 4, Fall 2020, pp. 119-144 (Article) Published by The Catholic University of America Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/cht.2020.0025 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/772045 [ Access provided at 15 Jul 2021 20:16 GMT from University of Louisville ] Thirty Years Later: Remembering the U.S. Churchwomen in El Salvador and the United States Theresa Keeley* On December 2, 1980, Salvadoran National Guardsmen—armed by the U.S. government—raped and murdered four U.S. missionaries: Maryknoll Sisters Ita Ford and Maura Clarke, Ursuline Sister Dorothy Kazel, and Maryknoll lay missioner Jean Donovan. Thirty years later, in late 2010, I traveled to El Salvador as part of a delegation to commemorate the anniver- sary of their deaths. Returning to the United States in early 2011, I attended a memorial for them in Washington, D.C., and expected to see continuity with the past: the promotion of the missionaries as a source of inspiration and expressions of anger at the U.S. role in El Salvador. The women continued to inspire, but the focus on the U.S. government was nearly absent. Instead, commemorative events in El Salvador evoked disappointment with the insti- tutional Catholic Church, and the Washington, D.C., remembrance stressed Maryknoll Sisters’ political influence. These differences underscored that remembering the U.S. churchwomen was not just about one memory, but dif- ferent kinds of memories for different communities.

  • COMMENTARY: Catholic Church Needs Luck of the Irish
    February 25, 2009 COMMENTARY COMMENTARY: Catholic church needs luck of the Irish By Phyllis Zagano RNS-ZAGANO-COLUMN (UNDATED) Lent has barely begun and already retail stores are reminding us that we all can be Irish on March 17, when the Catholic Church celebrates St. Patrick, Ireland’s most storied saint. It doesn’t matter that he was really British. Legends and myths abound about Patrick, a 5th century bishop who probably could have driven the snakes out of Ireland if there were any there to begin with. One medieval legend says he looked west from a bluff near Limerick, Ireland and predicted the arrival of a miracle worker to help the local people. Sixteen centuries after Patrick promised someone to heal divisions and promote Christianity, a Milwaukee bishop has turned up to take over St. Patrick’s Cathedral on New York City’s Fifth Avenue. Long-rumored to succeed Cardinal Edward Egan, Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan will come from the west permanently in mid-April to take over the mega-archdiocese of New York So what? Dolan’s new job made little news beyond New York and Milwaukee. While Pope John Paul II may have thought New York was the capital of the world, it’s not because of who’s working in St. Patrick’s Cathedral. People just don’t care. Today the Catholic Church in the United States, like the church in Ireland, is foundering on seas roiling of sex abuse and fiduciary improprieties. Every proclamation that the problems are over disappears behind the swells of yet another lawsuit, yet another audit.
