  • The Fourth Vow in Its Ignatian Context
    in the Spirituality of Jesuits The Fourth Vow in Its Ignatian Context A Historical Study ^ ^ by John W. O'Malley, S.J. Published by the American Assistancy Seminar on Jesuit Spirituality, especially for American Jesuits working out their aggiornamento in the spirit of Vatican II To/ Council THE AMERICAN ASSISTANCY SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY consists of a group of Jesuits from various provinces who are listed below. The members were appointed by the Fathers Provincial of the United States. The Purpose of the Seminar is to study topics pertaining to the spir- itual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially American Jesuits, and to communicate the results to the members of the Assistancy. The hope is that this will lead to further discussion among all American Jesuits--in private, or in small groups, or in community meetings. All this is done in the spirit of Vatican Council II f s recommendation to religious institutes to recapture the original charismatic inspiration of their founders and to adapt it to the changed circumstances of modern times. The members of the Seminar wel- come reactions or comments in regard to the topics they publish. To achieve these purposes, especially amid today's pluralistic cul- tures, the Seminar must focus its direct attention sharply, frankly, and specifically on the problems, interests, and opportunities of the Jesuits of the United States. However, many of these interests are common also to Jes- uits of other regions, or to other priests, religious men or women, or lay men or women. Hence the studies of the Seminar, while meant especially for American Jesuits, are not exclusively for them.

  • Lisa Malberg Ruhr University Bochum Theatine Churches in Naples and Rome: Sacred Space Between Religious Identity and Local Self
    Lisa Malberg Ruhr University Bochum Theatine Churches in Naples and Rome: Sacred space between religious identity and local self-assertion in the age of Counter-Reformation My doctoral thesis explores the earliest architectural manifestation of the Theatine order in the urban contexts of Naples and Rome, and is dedicated in particular to different aspects of sacred space in the order’s building practice. The doctoral project does not claim to analyze the architectural production of this Counter-Reformation order and their typological formation of sacred space in the whole Italian region, but focuses instead on spatial distribution, architectural typology, and liturgical topology in Theatine church architecture in Naples and Rome as well as their use of and alignment with specific social environments and the incorporation of local models and traditions. Furthermore, I am interested in the sociocultural processes and dynamics of the cities as a background for the Theatines’ architectural ambitions and visual representation, as well as different liturgical aspects of their building practice. The first Theatine religious buildings erected in Naples and Rome during the late 16th and early 17th centuries are especially relevant to gain a further understanding of the order’s Anspruchsniveau or “level of sophistication” (a definition derived from Martin Warnke’s 1996 essay “Bau und Gegenbau”), strategies of self-representation within the urban context and the order’s role as a specific social actor in Neapolitan society in the Early Modern period. In addition, this line of research aims to achieve a better understanding of Theatine building practice in general. Moreover, it may help ascertain whether a consolidated tradition of building practice or the formation of corporate consciousness in matters of architecture were important factors for the Theatine order.

    379 THE CATHOLIC HENRI IV AND THE PAPACY 1593-1610 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of I MASTER OF ARTS By William Jackson Fling, III, B. A. Denton, Texas August, 1977 I/7 Fling, William J., III, The Catholic Henri IV and the Papacy 1593-1610. Master of Arts (History), August, 1977, 130 pp., bibliography, 40 titles. This study explores Franco-Papal relations, and their effect on the French Church and State, from Henri IV's conver- sion to Roman Catholicism in 1593 until his death in 1610. Because Henri IV's primary concern, even in matters involving the Papacy or the Gallican Church, was to protect his kingdom from Habsburg encroachment, he was willing either to abandon his Protestant allies abroad, or to adopt reform measures, such as the decrees of the Council of Trent, that might weaken his own authority or disturb the peace of his kingdom. This caused repeated conflicts with the Counter-Reformation Popes Clement VIII and Paul V, to whom the primary enemy was always the infidel and the heretic. Nevertheless both sides realized that they needed each other to maintain their independence of Spain. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION ................ .*................. 1 Chapter I.

Whether we consider the width and depth of his erudition, the impartial spirit in which he conducted his investigations, or the comprehensiveness of his historical views^ we must pronounce him to be the type of the scientific historian and the model who may be safely imitated by all his successors. The long list of his compositions bears sufficient testimony to his unwearying industry. It would hardly be possible to set forth the qualities of this great historian better than was done on the occasion of his death, in May, 1896, by one of the first of our English historians. Dr. S.

FRANCIS XAVIER IN EUROPE AND ASIA Rachel Miller, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Recent historical studies have focused on the vital role that Catholic saints played after the Council of Trent, investigating how these holy figures were utilized to alleviate all manner of problems besetting the Post-Tridentine Church, emerging European nation states, and individual Catholics. My dissertation, however, approaches this issue from an art historical perspective, considering how images of St. Francis Xavier, the sixteenth-century Jesuit missionary, exercised considerable agency in an early modern world rife with global crisis. Specifically, I investigate Xaverian prints and paintings created in border zones of early modern Catholicism or in territories of the Iberian empires, particularly Antwerp, Goa, and Naples.
