  • Colleagues Celebrate Career of Fr. Richard Mcbrien
    Colleagues celebrate career of Fr. Richard McBrien To the dismay of the right and pleasure of the rest, theologian Fr. Richard McBrien has popularized Vatican II theology more than any other person. After 45 years of his award-winning weekly column (2,364 in all) titled “Essays in Theology”; after 20 books, including Catholicism, originally a two-volume synthesis of Catholic theology; after serving as president of the Catholic Theological Society of America and after being the recipient of its highest honor, the John Courtney Murray Award; after countless papers and speeches; after all this and more, McBrien was honored April 27 at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, where he has taught for 30 years. “No Catholic theologian in the United States has made a larger contribution to the reception of Vatican II than Richard P. McBrien,” said Catholic theologian Fr. Charles E. Curran, Elizabeth Scurlock University Professor of Human Values at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and a longtime McBrien colleague and friend. “McBrien has made this contribution by carrying out to the nth degree his role as a Catholic theologian.” Curran was a featured speaker at the Notre Dame McBrien symposium, whose honorary chair is former university president Holy Cross Fr. Theodore Hesburgh. It was Hesburgh who in 1980 invited McBrien to come from Boston College to chair Notre Dame’s theology department. McBrien was chair for 11 years, until 1991. Curran is not alone in his effusive praise for McBrien and his contributions to theology. According to John Thiel, president of Catholic Theological Society of America and professor of religious studies at Fairfield University in Connecticut, “McBrien is the theologian who has done the most in the American church to teach the continuing heritage of the Second Vatican Council.

Sulentic* As we enter the third millennium, men and women, especially in the poorest countries, are unfortunately still deprived of access to health services and the essential medicines for their treatment. Many of our brothers and sisters die each day of malaria, leprosy and AIDS, sometimes in the midst of the general indifference of those who could or should offer them support. May your hearts be attentive to these silent pleas! It is your task, dear members of Catholic medical associations, to work so that every person, regardless of his social or economic status, can exercise his primary right to what is necessary for restoring his health and thus to adequate medical care.' - Pope John Paul II (July 7, 2000) The Holy Father may not have had the citizens of the United States in mind when he spoke these words at an international Jubilee gathering of Catholic doctors in July 2000.

  • Charles Curran and ACCD
    Volume 9, Number 3 Fellowship of Catholic Scholars Newsletter June 1986 Charles Curran and ACCD I In his letter of August 24, 1984 (N. 111) to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Fr. Curran offered the following in partial defense of himself. 0 "I have never said the hierarchical magisterium is so com- pletely wrong. (See Origins March 27, 1986, p. 678.) On July 7, 1978, Fr. Curran published an article entitled Ten Years Later in Commonweal (pp. 425-30), his reflec- tions on the anniversary of Humanae Vitae. Declaring his unwillingness to find a way to mitigate the teaching con- tained therein so as to avoid accusing the pope of being in error, Curran declared: "From my perspective it was important to take the more rad- ical approach. The teaching condemning artificial contraception is wrong; the pope is in error; Catholics in good conscience can dissent in theory and in practice [rom such a teaching. " (p. 426.) To anyone old enough to know what it means to be a Catholic, the responses of Charles Curran, Richard McCor- mick, Walter Burghardt, Richard McBrien, and the American Association of Catholic Universities, and their related af- filiates, to the present efforts by Pope John Paul II to restore both Catholic theology and Catholic Universities to the Church, especially in the United States, indicate how far some academic elites have departed from Catholic norms of belief and practice.

Portier The history of the Baltimore Catechism has been written largely by its critics. This work will provide a review of how catechisms developed over time, and the position of the leaders of the catechetical renewal. These new catechists characterize the creation of the Baltimore Catechism as hurried and lacking effort. A brief introduction into the life of the compiler, Fr. Januarius De Concilio, is followed by a closer examination of the text seeking to highlight some elements of originality within the work. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT . i i i INTRODUCTION . 1 CHAPTER 1 THE ROLE OF CATECHISMS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH . .. 8 CHAPTER 2 THE CREATION OF THE BALTIMORE CATECHISM . 38 CHAPTER 3 THE NEW CATECHISTS . .75 CHAPTER 4 DE CONCILIO AS A PASTORAL THEOLOGIAN . 115 Phase I Italian Years (1836—1860) .

  • 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.

  • Veritatis Splendor1 Was Signed by John Paul II on August 6,1993 and Released the Following October 5
    Theological Studies 55 (1994) SOME EARLY REACTIONS TO VERITAnS SPLENDOR RICHARD A. McCORMICK, S.J. University of Notre Dame TTERiTATis SPLENDOR has elicited a broad range of reactions, both V favorable and unfavorable. In this article, I shall first review comments on, responses to, and studies of the papal letter, and then outline what appear to be critical issues in the encyclical or associated with it. COMMENTS, RESPONSES, AND STUDIES The encyclical letter Veritatis splendor1 was signed by John Paul II on August 6,1993 and released the following October 5. Addressed to "all the bishops of the Catholic Church regarding certain fundamental questions of the Church's moral teaching," it understandably got a reading far beyond episcopal ranks. At the outset I want to glance at some reactions from around the world, both in the media at large and within the Church. I realize that sound bites are hardly adequate to a long and complicated papal letter. They can, however, convey a tone. The Press The journal 30 Days gathered a sampling of journalistic reaction. For example, the widest circulating Polish daily, Gazeta Wyborcza, referred to the letter as "an encyclical of the counter-reformation for a Church in crisis." Rome's La Repubblica asserted that "Wojtyla wants a silent Church." Its summary stated that "the Pope's final effort in­ troduces only one great innovation: the abolition of theological dis­ sent." Milan's Corriere della sera found nothing new in the encyclical. "Nor is the call to obedience directed at theologians new: it merely reproduces an 'Instruction' of 1990." The Frankfurter Allgemeine had a different tone.

To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The journey has only begun, but what a blessing it has been for me and for my academic work to have the encouragement and support of many, many folks. It is not lost on me that, “it takes a village.” My family has made many sacrifices for me that allowed for the “guilt-free” focus of time and energy on this endeavor. So many colleagues at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory have coached, mentored, taught, and even occasionally prodded me throughout the doctoral program. I am particularly thankful for those closest to me at the Lab. Many times their extra effort in the workplace made things easier for me or ensured that I did not get lost in the forest. I am grateful for the educational experience offered to me by the faculty and staff of Benedictine University, who are so committed to the success of their learners. My extended family and friends, brother Knights of Columbus, BU cohort, colleagues from the armed forces, fellow aviators, “Holy Catholic College,” technical editor, neighbors, and many others who always seemed to be there at just the right time to say or do just the thing that was needed at the moment. I am thankful for the genuinely special people and deep thinkers on my dissertation committee who served this effort.
