1950 to 195 1 MILESTO ES AND A CRUSHING V O ID: 1950 TO 195 1 he year 1950-51 was distinguished by several significant events. With the cooperation of the administrati on, Sister Mary olasco McPhillips overhauled the Standing Committees and placed Admissions, Orientation, Counseling and Discipline, Financial Aid, Part-time Placement, Health and Extra-curricular Ac tiviti es under Student Personnel Services and under her supervision. By the fall of 1950, Sister (Albert) Marie Flick had restructured the five-year and three-summer nurSing degree program into a four­ year continuum, thus integrating it more closely with the regular Coll ege calendar. O n November 29, 1950, the Board of Review of the National Nursing Accrediting service voted to approve the coll egiate program of the Division of Nursing and to li st it \",ith the accredited pro­ grams. Of great consequence was the fa ct that on December 9, 1950, Sister Patricia received word that the extensive application for orth Central Accreditation had arrived at the Chicago offi ce and that selected members of the North Central Review Board would be in Detroit on December 13-14 to visit the Coll ege, its clinical facilities and laboratory schools. Subsequently, February 26, 1951 was a spe- 68 M ere)' College of Detroit cial day. The inspecti on team's glowing rep ort of the "unusually comprehensive and articulately attractive segments of the two vol­ umes" was received fro m Manning M. Pattillo, Assistant Secretary of the 1 orth Central Association of Coll eges and Secondary Schools. Am ong the comm.ents were the following: · . Mercy Coll ege is clear in its conception of general edu­ cation as a necessary base for professional or advanced study in any fi eld . · .. The faculty is enthusiastic about their work, and there seems to be a great harmony in the institution . · . The offi ce of the President is so highly centralized that only an expert administrator, such as Sister Mary Patricia, would be abl e to exercise the sort of control which is inherent in this close-knit organization. The voice of authority of the President, kind but firm , is evidently the voi ce which is respected by the students, faculty and administration alike and is almost unquestioned. · .. The examiners have seldom seen a group which understood the objectives more clearly than does the staff at Mercy Coll ege. · .. There is a lack of lay representation both on the Board of Tr ustees and on the Council of the Coll ege. · .. The Dean of the College, Sister Mary Lucille, is a force­ fu l, highly articu late woman of great charm who in the real sense is not Just an academic d ean but an administra­ tive dean fo r the whole College. · .. The general education program is somewhat lacking in its emphasis on the fin e arts. · . It woul d be hard to envision a small college with a bet­ ter set-up (college and hospital) than Mercy has for its Nursing program. · . In other fi elds, such as the sciences, the Coll ege has avaibble extraordinary laboratory facilities maintained in the very finest manner, as is everything at the Coll ege. · .. The faculty for the most part have excellent credentials and manifest a high level of p rofessional competen cy. The First 25 Years 69 · . The Dean of Students, Sister Mary Nolasco, is an intel­ ligent, attractive woman endowed with warm sympathy and understanding. The administration of ho using fa cili­ ti es is absolutely superior as is student o ri entation . · .. A ve ry w holesome integratio n of the various activities was apparent in a program w hich was presented in the Assem bly during the visit of the committee. It bespoke the kind of precisio n , competency and effi ciency w hi ch o ne met everywhere at the College. · .. The student record s are ve ry we ll kept and up to date. · .. The examiners fou nd the m embers of the religio us Board of Trustees to be persons of visio n, integrity and high capability. It would be well if lay members were a part o f the Board to represent their point o f view. · .. Both the Business Manager of the College, Sister Mary Carmela, and the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, Sister Marie Bernard, are persons of excepti o nal abili ty and effi- Cle• ncy. · .. Rarely have the examiners been able to rate o peratio n and care o f an institutio n as highly as they rated the main­ tenance of Mercy College. All at Mercy Coll ege were elated by the report. However, n o cele­ bratio n could quite equal that felt by the Board of Trustees, the administration, the faculty and the students w hen Mr. Pattillo wrote on April 9 , 1951: I am glad to inform you o ffi cially that the No rth CentraL .. at its annual meeting held March 27-31, 1951, voted to accredit Mercy College. This action was effective March 2l. The name of Mercy Coll ege wil l appear o n the next li st of accred ited institutio ns in the July 1951 issue o f the "North Central Associatio n Q uarterly. " Am o ng new faculty m embers in 1950 were Professor Peter Bilaniuk ( Bi ology); Dr. Dora Gunderson (Hi story and Political Science); Benp min Glicker (An); Sister Mary Lil y Foco (Radiology); Evelyn Powell (Bacteriology); J o hn J. Powers (Attorney and Sociology); and Dr. \Villiam Walsh (Speech). Tuition that year increased to $100 per sem ester. Room and Board 70 Mercy C ollege of Detroir remained $500 per year. On November 8, 1950, the recently organized Mercy League (mothers of Mercians) invited the fathers of Mercians to get to know the College heritage of Catherine McAuley, the administration, the fa cuity, and the operations and architectural plan of the bUildings. The fathers responded with a great deal of enthusiasm. To quote Sister Ma ry Lucille, "We know why we have so many nice girls at Mercy College; we met their fathers last night." 1950-51 was a year of impressive meetings, huge gatherings and heroic acts. More than 1,000 attended the National Student Association meet­ ing in An n Arbor, and there debated such topics as a student Bill of Rights, federal aid to coll ege students, and the Student Purchase Card. Hundreds discussed "What's in a Retreat for You l " at the youth section of the Nati onal Laywomen's Retreat Congress at the Book Cadillac in Detroit. Over 700 Mercians from several Mercy institutions Joined a campus procession to honor Rosary month. The Outer Echoes staff-among thou sands-attended the Associated Collegiate Press Conference at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago to d iscuss with journalistic exp erts all phases of collegiate publishing. Mercy College, which head ed the InterracialJustice Commission of the National Federation o f Catholic College Students, sent several representatives to the national m eeting at j ohn Carroll University in Cleveland.With Irene Lazar (Hungary), Christine Skowronki (Poland), Florencia Moncada (Honduras), Zu lma Ortiz and Nilda De la Cruz (Puerto Rico), and Mary Kimjoh (Korea), Sister Mary Madonna Weigel sp on sored activities to recog­ nize the fifth birthday of the United Nation s and found her group hostesses, not only to the campus, but also to large groups from sev­ eral neighboring colleges and secondary schools. "We saw your media announcement," they explained . "It looked interesting. " "The more the merrier," quipped Sister Mary Madonna, down-to­ earth and unfl appable. "As we say in Iowa, we'll just add a little nip­ per to the dipper. " No one enjoyed this seemingly innocent jargon from the mouth of a sweet, abstemious-looking little nun m ore than a six-foot, 250-pound tackle from Wayne State University'S football team, the Tartars. At the same time, junior Gloria Torrey won a citation from Captain Keissling, Master of the ill-fated United States Coast Guard ship, City oj Cleveland: "O n june 25, 1950, while you were on watch The Fir.\! 25 )ears 71 as radio telephone operator ... you dutifully stayed at your post even though the 5.5. Ravclldj ell crashed into our ship a few feet from yo ur station and yo u were surrounded by nying debris and steam." Gloria's heroism is easily accounted fo r: she wears the tartan of the great Robert Bruce. Then, too, she is a Mercian. Nearly everything that year seemed larger than life. Every day brought a milestone. Every year seemed a d efin itive step toward something bigger and brighter. Mercy College celebrated its tenth annive rsary while Detroit celebrated its 250th. So mewhere along the way, the "McAuley Auditorium Se ri es" evolved into the "McAuley Series." The season's offerings included lectures by Archduke O tto of Austria, "The War Zone," and j.M. O 'Neil , "Religious Education under the Constitution"; composer and pianist Percy Grai nger, who autographed a new Steinway grand on the McAuley stage, call ing it an "exquisite in strument"; and the Catho lic University Players, who produced both Shakespeare and Hemingway. There was also some admirable local talent: The Detroit Symphony Chamber Ensemble, the Dun Scotus Franciscan Choi r and, finally, a campus arts festi val by the Mercy Singers and Pl ayers­ all this for a six-dollar season ticket. The Players continued to experi ment. Philip Johnson's "The Lovely Miracle" was symbo lic of nature. Edna St. Vincent Millay's "Fatal 1nt erview" was interpreted through modern dance. In collabo­ ration with students from the Unive rsi ty of Detroit, the Players chose as their Christmas producti on, Paul Claudel's "Tidings Brought to Ma ry " Also, the Coll ege was one of the Michigan institutions invited by the University of Michigan to publicize its ca mpus ove r their radio station, v-ruOM.

  • MORAL METHODOLOGY and PASTORAL RESPONSIVENESS: the CASE of ABORTION and the CARE of CHILDREN TODD DAVID WHITMORE University of Notre Dame
    Theological Studies 54 (1993) MORAL METHODOLOGY AND PASTORAL RESPONSIVENESS: THE CASE OF ABORTION AND THE CARE OF CHILDREN TODD DAVID WHITMORE University of Notre Dame ORAL METHODOLOGY is intimately related to pastoral practice. M Though neither element can be reduced to the other, the way one construes a moral problem methodologically shapes one's response to the problem. This article will analyze the moral reasoning in three recent church documents in order to assess the implications of their modes of reasoning for the relationship between abortion and the care of children. The three documents are the "Declaration on Abortion" issued in 1974 by the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and two statements by the American Catholic Bishops: "The Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities: A Reaffirmation" (1985), and "Putting Children and Families First: A Challenge for Our Church, Nation, and World (1991).1 The insight that there is some connection between the issues of abortion and the care of children is not uncommon. A number of schol­ ars make the initial observation that there is a link between the two.2 But efforts to understand more fully how they relate have been less than satisfactory. The frustration is evident in Cardinal Bernardina words: "There must be a connection—logical, legal and social— between our lack of moral vision in protecting unborn children and our lack of social vision in the provision of basic necessities for women and children."3 These words imply, correctly, that the inability to relate 1 Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Declaration on Abortion (Wash­ ington: U.S.

  • Catholic Feminist Ethics and the Culture of Death
    Citation for the following article: Anne Barbeau Gardiner, “Catholic Feminist Ethics and the Culture of Death: The Case of Sister Margaret Farley,” Proceedings of the Nineteenth University Faculty for Life Conference at the University of St. Thomas School of Law, Minneapolis MN (2009), ed. Joseph W. Koterski, S.J. (Washington, D.C.: University Faculty for Life, 2013), pp. 281-294. Catholic Feminist Ethics and the Culture of Death: The Case of Sister Margaret Farley Anne Barbeau Gardiner A BSTRACT: In her recent book Just Love, Sister Margaret Farley makes so-called “women’s experience” the basis for a radical new “sexual ethics.” She promotes an upper-class feminist ideology while censuring the Catholic Church for promulgating an ethics that is not universal but only a masculine construct. Ever since 1973, Farley has been a leading and consistent apologist for the Culture of Death, but in the year 2000, in her presidential address to the Catholic Theological Society of America, she openly confronted and blamed the Magisterium for standing on a narrow ground in its repeated condemnations of abortion. And yet her writings and those of other Catholic feminists in her wake reveal that it is these dissidents themselves who stand on a narrow ground in their defense of abortion. Their embrace of “women’s experience” as an ideology has led directly to Farley’s Just Love, a work that condones not just abortion but also masturbation, pornography, adultery, and active homosexuality.

  • Vatican Ii and Theological Ethics
    Theological Studies 74 (2013) VATICAN II AND THEOLOGICAL ETHICS JAMES F. KEENAN, S.J. This note, extended into an article to commemorate Vatican II, argues that any study of the council and theological ethics must attend to World War II’s devastating impact on the field. The war moved European ethicists to repudiate the three centuries of moral manuals and propose a theological ethics based on conscience acting out of charity. In Latin America and Africa, “suffering” emerges as the overarching concern, while in the United States, the language of Catholic social teaching enters the fields of fundamental moral theol- ogy, sexual ethics, and bioethics. Looking back on the council today, ethicists see that the agenda of Gaudium et spes has become theirs. S I BEGAN RESEARCH ON THIS TOPIC, I originally wanted to focus solely Aon what developed in theological ethics after Vatican II. The more research I did, however, the more I found that ecclesiologists and church historians celebrating the 50th anniversary of the council tended to convey at best a modest assumption about the relationship between theological ethics and the council.1 At the same time, polling theological ethicists around the world, I found that many had recently written on the council, emphasizing either Gaudium et spes’s anthropological assumptions, embrace of human dignity, affirmation of conscience and personal freedom, together with its wide array of urgent concerns2 or Dignitatis humanae’s own defense JAMES F. KEENAN, S.J., received the STD from the Gregorian University and is Founders Professor in Theology at Boston College. His areas of special interest include the history of theological ethics, virtue ethics, biblical ethics, and HIV/ AIDS.

  • Five Michigan Political Leaders: Evolving Roles and Early Tests
    Five Michigan Political Leaders: Evolving Roles and Early Tests by Craig Ruff Political leaJership is tested most in periods of change. Political leaders know that events, public opinion, leadership dynamics, and the times affect their roles and actions and test their flexibility and adaptability. The five men who lead Michigan's legislative and executive branches of government are undergoing metamorphoses in response to the political change wrought by voters last fall. They are: John Engler (governor), Dick Posthumus (Senate majority leader), Art Miller (Senate minority leader), Lew Dodak (Speaker of the House), and Paul Hillegonds (House minority leader). Change itself is neither inherently good nor bad, but its consequences may be positive or negative. The consequences of the 1990 elections are being felt just now not only by the general public but by the people invested with political leadership. This Commentary examines the styles of the five leaders, their roles, their interaction, and what the future may bring them. GOVERNOR JOHN ENGLER John Engler won the bully pulpit and political brass ring of Michigan-the governorship. Twenty years L a legislator, a retailer in both chambers of his Republican principles, and a skillful strategist and political organizer, Engler came to the governorship with more battle-tested legislative savvy than any predecessor. Engler's tactical mettle resembles Lyndon Baines Johnson's. LBJ was, and Engler is, the consummate maneuverer/insider/strategist, and he has shown considerable brinkmanship in the current budget crisis. John Engler is not timid. He never has been, even when his arsenal-namely Republican control only of the Senate-was paltry.
