PASTOR'S COLUMN Though I'm certainly not the only one at Sacred Heart that was born and raised in Arkansas (Hot Springs), most of our wonderful parishioners have come to our quaint Village and parish from places across the United States. Many of you come from dioceses that you loved and lived in for a few or many years. It is understandable that some (or maybe more than some) have a connection with your previous diocese that might include still getting the diocesan newspaper from there. One of the many blessings that has come to our parish through the efforts of our V.I.P. of the month, Bob Honzik, is his continuous encouragement to get all of our parishioners connected to the Diocese of Little Rock (that covers the whole state of Arkansas). From supporting and promoting the many ministries of our diocese that benefit us and so many others through our giving to the Catholic Arkansas Sharing Appeal, to ONLINE GIVING our prayers and ongoing financial support for our seminarians This is a reminder that Sacred Heart is offering (most of whom will become the future priests of Arkansas), to Electronic Giving.

Between Piety and Polity The American Catholic Response to the First Atomic Bombs Emma Catherine Scally ’18 In August of 1945 the United States dropped the “Little Boy” and the “Fat Man” on the respective cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, causing a combined death toll of at least 135,000. Although the atomic bombings in 1945 have not been excluded from the United States’ contemporary national narrative, one of the more underemphasized aspects of this history is the unsettling and often unclear relationship between Catholicism and American nuclear politics that began in 1945 and extended throughout the entire Cold War. Of the 135,000 Japanese who died from burns, radiation, and other atomic bomb-related injuries, at least 7,000 of those casualties were Japanese Catholics, though that estimate seems conservative when one remembers that the “Fat Man” was dropped in Japan’s most Christian-populated city and even landed next to the Urakami Catholic Cathedral.1 The Japanese Catholic victims of the “Fat Man,” however, were probably unaware that the weapon which would ultimately decimate a large proportion of their Catholic community was blessed by Father George Zabelka, a Catholic Chaplain in the U.S.

An expression of warm thanks is extended to the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City for such a lavish gift from God. More than 3,000 attended the consecration at the Governor’s Hall at the Statehouse Convention Center. Many priests, religious and lay people from Oklahoma arrived. Bishop Taylor’s parents, siblings, and a relative from Guam were also present. Parishioners from Sacred Heart Parish and St. Monica Parish were seated behind the Oklahoma priests. “You don’t know what you are getting,” Wilma Moisant from Sacred Heart said. “I have known Father Taylor since he was in the seminary back in the ’80s.” Moisant told of a terrible time in her life when she discovered her son dead in his home. “I called Father Taylor,” Moisant said. “He came right over and stayed with the family.” St. Monica parishioners, Marie and Scott Connolly, told of Bishop Taylor’s love of hiking and being outdoors. “Bishop Taylor is a man of prayer and faithful to the gospels,” Marie Connolly said. “When he asks someone to do a task, he lets them do it,” Scott Connolly added.

  • Decentering American Jesuit Anti-Communism: John Lafarge’S United Front Strategy, 1934–39
    journal of jesuit studies 5 (2018) 97-121 brill.com/jjs Decentering American Jesuit Anti-Communism: John LaFarge’s United Front Strategy, 1934–39 Charles R. Gallagher, S.J. Boston College [email protected] Abstract In 1934, the Society of Jesus was asked to respond at global and regional levels to the increasing threat of world Communism. In North America, the Jesuits initiated plans to meet the twin threats of Communism and atheism. Between 1934 and 1939, two separate streams of Jesuit anti-Communism began to emerge. The first was a macro-style vision grounded in social reconstruction, which the Jesuits called “Establishing a Christian Social Order,” known colloquially as the “xo” program. The other plan was put forward as early as 1934, and elaborated in July 1936 at the Jesuit meeting in West Baden, Indi- ana, by the writer and editor John LaFarge. LaFarge’s plan, known as the United Front, has never been evaluated by historians. It was a localized program of reactive initia- tives meant to meet the gains of the cpusa with effective Catholic counter- Communist public attacks. LaFarge aimed to recruit students, pastors, and fellow Jesuits to see to it that cpusa gains in labor, culture, education, government, and churches were met with equal and effective public counterattacks. In 1937, the publication of the papal encyclical Divini redemptoris signaled that social reconstruction could become a part of authentic Catholic anti-Communism, indicating the eclipse of LaFarge’s United Front. After 1939, when the Jesuit general Włodzimierz Ledóchowski called for an adoption of the “positive message” of social reconstruction as the dominant means of Jesuit anti- Communism, LaFarge’s more bumptious and militaristic plan began to fade for good.

Taylor released the following update, Feb. 8, 2019, following the conclusion of Kinsale Management Consulting’s independent review of clergy personnel les and the diocese’s ongoing internal le review. "Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, "On September 10 of last year I wrote you about the steps we are taking to address the clergy sexual abuse crisis in Arkansas. I disclosed the names of 12 priests and former priests against whom credible allegations had been received in the last 70 years. I also announced that an independent review of our clergy les would be undertaken by Kinsale Management Consulting (“Kinsale”). On October 23 I provided an update, stating that since September 10 the Diocese had received reports of additional allegations of clergy sexual abuse from the public — most of which were against priests already listed; none of which were against priests who are currently in active ministry in Arkansas; and all of which were regarding events that would have occurred prior to 2002. ..." Read Entire Statement About This Clergy List This list is being published as part of the Diocese of Little Rock’s ongoing commitment to transparency and to encourage persons sexually abused by clergy or by anyone working on behalf of the Church to come forward. The individuals named in this list have served in Arkansas at some point in time, but that does not mean that they abused minors during their service here in Arkansas.
