    CTSA Proceedings 73 / 2018 MORAL THEOLOGY (I)—TOPIC SESSION Topic: Humanae Vitae, 50 Years Later Convener: Kent J. Lasnoski, Wyoming Catholic College Moderator: Kent J. Lasnoski, Wyoming Catholic College Presenters: Maria Morrow, Seton Hall University David Cloutier, Catholic University of America Karen Ross, Loyola University Chicago This well-attended session celebrated the 50th anniversary of Pope Paul VI’s profound, prophetic, and polemical encyclical Humanae vitae. The session featured two younger scholars (Maria Morrow and Karen Ross) with a historical and ethnographic approach, respectively, as well as a senior scholar, David Cloutier, who’s more experimental, theoretical essay provoked long discussion well-beyond the session’s close. The session opened with Maria Morrow’s “Living With (and Growing From) Bad Timing: Penance and Humanae vitae.” Going beyond the reception history traced by Tentler’s well-known Catholics and Contraception, Morrow investigates the relationship between an erosion of penitential culture among American Catholics and the near impossibility of Humanae vitae’s safe landing on the shores of American Catholic consciences. Her paper’s focus centers on the bad-timing of three documents: Humanae vitae itself, Paul VI’s Paenitemini, and the United States bishops’ Pastoral Letter on Fast and Abstinence. Humanae vitae shocked Catholics from pew to cathedra, most of which were expecting ecclesial concession to contraception due to tidal changes at the cultural level. Paenitemini and the United States episcopal letter, while attempting to renew and invigorate penitential life, making it more personal, effected exactly the opposite. Catholics felt justified not only in dropping mortifications but also in their flight from the confessional.

  • Musings from Your Parish Priest
    SAINTS FOR THE YEAR OF THE EUCHARIST WELCOME TO ST. PETER JULIAN EYMARD St. Peter Julian Eymard was a 19th century CATHOLIC CHURCH French priest whose devotion to the Blessed Sacra- ment expressed itself both in mystical writings and the foundation of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, a religious institute designed to spread 2ND SUNDAY OF LENT - FEBRUARY 28TH, 2020 devotion to the Eucharist.

  • " a Great and Lasting Beginning": Bishop John Mcmullen's
    22 Catholic Education/June 2005 ARTICLES “A GREAT AND LASTING BEGINNING”: BISHOP JOHN MCMULLEN’S EDUCATIONAL VISION AND THE FOUNDING OF ST. AMBROSE UNIVERSITY GEORGE W. MCDANIEL St. Ambrose University Catholic education surfaces as a focus and concern in every age of the U.S. Catholic experience. This article examines the struggles in one, small Midwestern diocese surrounding the establishment and advancement of Catholic education. Personal rivalries, relationship with Rome, local politics, finances, responding to broader social challenges, and the leadership of cler- gy were prominent themes then, as they are now. Numerous historical insights detailed here help to explain the abiding liberal character of Catholicism in the Midwestern United States. n the spring of 1882, Bishop John McMullen, who had been in the new IDiocese of Davenport for about 6 months, met with Father Henry Cosgrove, the pastor of St. Marguerite’s (later Sacred Heart) Cathedral. “Where shall we find a place to give a beginning to a college?” McMullen asked. Cosgrove’s response was immediate: “Bishop, I will give you two rooms in my school building.” “All right,” McMullen said, “let us start at once” (The Davenport Democrat, 1904; Farrell, 1982, p. iii; McGovern, 1888, p. 256; Schmidt, 1981, p. 111). McMullen’s desire to found a university was not as impetuous as it may have seemed. Like many American Catholic leaders in the 19th century, McMullen viewed education as a way for a growing immigrant Catholic population to advance in their new country. Catholic education would also serve as a bulwark against the encroachment of Protestant ideas that formed the foundation of public education in the United States.

  • The Virtue of Penance in the United States, 1955-1975
    THE VIRTUE OF PENANCE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1975 Dissertation Submitted to The College of Arts and Sciences of the UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in Theology By Maria Christina Morrow UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON Dayton, Ohio December 2013 THE VIRTUE OF PENANCE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1975 Name: Morrow, Maria Christina APPROVED BY: _______________________________________ Sandra A. Yocum, Ph.D. Committee Chair _______________________________________ William L.

Johnson, Ph.D. Committee Member _______________________________________ Jana M. Bennett, Ph.D. Committee Member _______________________________________ William C. Mattison, III, Ph.D. Committee Member iii ABSTRACT THE VIRTUE OF PENANCE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1975 Name: Morrow, Maria Christina University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Sandra A. Yocum This dissertation examines the conception of sin and the practice of penance among Catholics in the United States from 1955 to 1975. It begins with a brief historical account of sin and penance in Christian history, indicating the long tradition of performing penitential acts in response to the identification of one’s self as a sinner. The dissertation then considers the Thomistic account of sin and the response of penance, which is understood both as a sacrament (which destroys the sin) and as a virtue (the acts of which constitute the matter of the sacrament but also extend to include non-sacramental acts). This serves to provide a framework for understanding the way Catholics in the United States identified sin and sought to amend for it by use of the sacrament of penance as well as non-sacramental penitential acts of the virtue of penance.

  • Teachings on the Need for Freely
    TEACHINGS ON THE NEED FOR FREELY CHOSEN PENITENTIAL PRACTICES IN LENT AND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ON FRIDAY The need for conversion and salvation is unchanging, as is the necessity that, confessing our sinfulness, we perform, personally and in community, acts of penance in pledge of our inward penitence and conversion. For these reasons, Christian peoples, members of a Church that is at once holy, penitent and always in process of renewal, have from the beginning observed seasons and days of penance. They have done so by community penitential observances as well as by personal acts of self-denial; they have imitated the example of the spotless Son of God Himself, concerning whom the Sacred Scriptures tell us that He went into the desert to fast and to pray for 40 days. Thus Christ gave the example to which Paul appealed in teaching us how we, too, must come to the mature measure of the fullness of Christ. ^ Of the many penitential seasons which at one time or another have entered the liturgical calendar of Christians (who on this point have preserved the holy tradition of their Hebrew spiritual ancestors), three have particularly survived to our times: Advent, Lent, and the vigils of certain feasts. Lent as principal season of penance Lent has had a different history than Advent among us. Beginning with the powerful lesson of Ash Wednesday, it has retained its ancient appeal to the penitential spirit of our people. It has also acquired elements of popular piety which we bishops would wish to encourage. Accordingly, while appealing for greater development of the understanding of the Lenten liturgy, as that of Advent, we hope that the observance of Lent as the principal season of penance in the Christian year will be intensified.

  • The Revision of Canon Law: Theological Implications Thomas J
    THE REVISION OF CANON LAW: THEOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS THOMAS J. GREEN The Catholic University of America HE SECOND Vatican Council profoundly desired to bring the Church Tup to date (aggiornamento) and make it a more vital instrument of God's saving presence in a rapidly changing world. Crucial to the revital- ization of the Church's mission was the reform of its institutional struc­ tures. Understandably, then, a significant aspect of postconciliar reform has been an unprecedented effort to reform canon law. Indeed, the time- honored relationship between total ecclesial renewal and canonical reform was recognized by Pope John XXIII in his calling for the revision of canon law as early as January 1959, when he announced the forthcoming Second Vatican Council.1 Two decades have elapsed since that initial call for canonical reform, and the process of revising the Code of Canon Law (henceforth Code) seems to have reached a critical stage. A consideration of some key moments in that process should help one gain a better perspective on the present status of canonical reform.2 The Pontifical Commission for the Revision of the Code of Canon Law (henceforth Code Commission) was established by John XXIII on March 20, 1963.3 However, it began to function only after the Council, since a principal aspect of its mandate was to reform the Code in light of conciliar principles. Only then could the Code be an instrument finely adapted to the Church's life and mission.4 On November 20, 1965 Pope Paul VI 1 See AAS 51 (1959) 65-69. See also J.

    February 19, 2018 1 REFLECTIONS ON LIFE: DOING LENTEN PENANCE CAN BE VERY RELATIVE There was a time from my late teens on that I dreaded lent and all it entailed. A strong, active young person who burned calories at a furious rate, especially from outside work, sports and other rough activities, the last thing on my mind was small portions of foods and drinks that supplied little fire to my body engine and barely any staying power to one who would walk away from a 2-hour baseball workout still hungering for more swings at the ball, and saddened to be leaving the field. Thus, Mardi Gras, and later Lundi Gras as well, were not happy times for me, despite the outrageously joyous music of musicians like Henry Roeland “Roy” Byrd, better known as Professor Longhair. Whistling, freewheeling his way up and down the ivory with a primal rhythm and beat, the Professor belted out his 1959 rendition of “Go To the Mardi Gras” with the joy, passion and the very soul of the New Orleans Mardi Gras. They were ambiguous times for me, because Lent was sure to follow. Ever-hungry, voracious youngster that I was, the old Lenten rules for fast and abstinence were complicated and burdensome. Imagine nowadays, except Sundays, having to fast every day of Lent plus the Ember Days (onetime 3 days of fast and abstinence at the beginning of the four seasons). A distant memory today, Ember Days are now completely optional. After Paenitemini, Pope Paul VI’s February 17, 1966 Apostolic Constitution, the fast consisted of one main meatless meal and two smaller meals whose quantity did not equal that of the main meal.

White, Ph.D. At the 1884 Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, the US Catholic bishops commissioned a national prayer book titled the Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity and the widely-known Baltimore Catechism. This study examines the Manual’s genesis, contents, and publication history to understand its contribution to the Church’s teaching efforts. To account for the Manual’s contents, the study describes prayer book genres developed in the British Isles that shaped similar publications for use by American Catholics. The study considers the critiques of bishops and others concerning US-published prayer books, and episcopal decrees to address their weak theological content. To improve understanding of the Church’s liturgy, the bishops commissioned a prayer book for the laity containing selections from Roman liturgical books. The study quantifies the text’s sources from liturgical and devotional books. The book’s compiler, Rev. Clarence Woodman, C.S.P., adopted the English manual prayer book genre while most of the book’s content derived from the Roman Missal, Breviary, and Ritual, albeit augmented with highly regarded English and US prayers and instructions.
