(NC) — Urg- ing an end to "pauperization" of U.S. women, Catholic Charities USA has called for pay equity, a higher minimum wage, Social Security for women who are homemakers, and other public policy changes. The call came during the organiza- tion's annual convention in Nashville when 500 delegates approved a state- ment on the "Feminization of Pover- ty." Over 1500 delegates cited the following reasons for women's poverty: •Low female salaries. •Job descrimination because of childbearing potential. •Lack of recognition of the worth of child care and care of the elderly. The delegates were among more than 1,500 participarfts at the 72nd an- nual Catholic Charities convention Sept. 26-30. - The statement on women and poverty was proposed by Catholic Charities USA last April. It developed from a poll of and discussions by Catholic Charities members during 1984 and 1985.

Some of the invested funds clearly involve unethical enterprises. Investigations into this statement are based on biblical principles and historical examples and progress through time to consider diverse influences involving the Church and its money. The aim of my thesis is to assess the impact of Church investments within a world of economics that encourages the accumulation of wealth yet often ignores the consequences for the Church and their effect upon the world. I begin my research by examining the principles for financial relationships and systems as established within the Bible.

Today, having a clear faith based on the Creed of the Church is often labeled as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, that is, letting oneself be “tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of doctrine”, seems the only attitude that can cope with modern times. We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one’s own ego and desires.

  • Historical Sources of Marist Spirituality
    Historical sources of Marist spirituality Br. Michael Green This text comprises a series of articles written in 2020 by Marist historian and spiritual writer, Br Michael Green, on the theme of Marist spirituality. Br Michael takes the six characteristics of our spirituality that are named in ‘Water from the Rock’ and explores their historical and spiritual sources, relating them to the situations of today’s Marists. The articles were written for the Australian online Marist newsletter ‘Christlife’, and were also published in the education journal ‘Champagnat’. Introduction Marcellin Champagnat didn’t know anything about Marist spirituality, or about any kind of spirituality for that matter. What? No, there’s no myth-busting exposé to follow. Please, stay calm and keep reading. The term ‘spirituality’ has not been around for long, just over a hundred years or so. The word, as a noun, would have been unknown to Marcellin. It emerged in France towards the end of the nineteenth century, and grew in common usage in the second half of the twentieth, helped not insignificantly by the assiduous compiling, between 1928 and 1995, of a mammoth ten-volume academic work called the Dictionnaire de Spiritualité. Begun by a small team of French Jesuits, its 1500 contributors came to include many of the leading theologians and masters of the spiritual life of the twentieth century. The concept of ‘spirituality’ (singular and plural) took its place in mainstream religious discourse. Today its breadth and grab is wide, covering not only traditional paths of the Christian spiritual life, but also those of non-Christian traditions, and indeed non-theist ways of experiencing and understanding life and the cosmos.

A Fertile Legacy 1 INTERNATIONAL EUCHARISTIC CONGRESSES: BETWEEN HISTORY AND THE MODERN TIMES __________________________________________________________________ Introduction International Eucharistic Congresses may seem to be just relics of the past which by now insert themselves with difficulty into the contemporary world. Like those old vestments of sacristy, once in shining gold but now ravaged by time, to many they have become just reminiscences of days gone by: the popular manifestations of the late 19th century and the early twentieth, through which the regality of Christ was put into the limelight in the biggest capitals of the world: the unending processions which involved tens and thousands of the faithful, the gathering of masses of adorers so as to pay homage of faith, love and reparation to Jesus Christ, God hidden under the veil of the Sacrament, «insulted by the impious, ignored by the powerful, desirous of a secularized society».1 That Eucharistic Congresses belong to the past is out of the question.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS JOHN PAUL II TO THE PILGRIMS WHO HAD COME TO ROME FOR THE BEATIFICATION OF NEW BLESSEDS Monday, 4 October 1999 Dear Brothers and Sisters, 1. Yesterday's solemn celebration is in a certain sense continued in our meeting today, at which we would like to renew our song of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord for the new blesseds, whom the Church holds up to us as examples to imitate. With great affection I greet each of you who have come in such numbers to pay homage to these faithful witnesses of the Gospel. In contemplating Fr Ferdinand Mary Baccilieri, a humble and zealous priest, I extend a cordial greeting to the Sisters Servants of Mary of Galeazza, who venerate him as their founder and feel committed to keep his spirit alive and active in their Institute's work. May the spiritual daughters of this new Blessed and all who invoke him as their protector welcome his invitation to reflect constantly on the Christian message and to foster a tender devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows. It is important to understand that following Christ necessarily involves that serious revision of one's life to which he exhorted everyone, especially on the occasion of the parish missions. May the desire to offer each one the clear teaching of the Gospel grow in those who, in following his example, continue his apostolic action to reach families and individual faithful. 2. I cordially greet the brothers and sisters who have come for the beatification of Fr Edward Poppe, especially those from Belgium.

  • Degree Congregations December 2010 the Inauguration of the University of Manchester
    The University of Manchester Degree Congregations December 2010 The Inauguration of The University of Manchester At midnight on 30 September 2004, UMIST and the Victoria University of Manchester were dissolved and the single institution of The University of Manchester came into existence. The formal Inauguration of the University took place on Friday, 22 October 2004 when Her Majesty The Queen visited the campus to personally present the University’s new Royal Charter to Co-Chancellor Anna Ford at a special ceremony held in the Whitworth Hall. The new institution has a distinguished heritage. It can trace its roots back to the formation of the Manchester Mechanics Institute in 1824, which later became UMIST. The Victoria University of Manchester was founded as Owens College in 1851 and became England’s first civic university in 1880. The two universities first began working together almost 100 years ago. They were situated on neighbouring campuses and this enabled them to develop a number of joint courses, departments and services. They took the decision to merge in 2003. The creation of The University of Manchester has been hailed as one of the boldest and most ambitious initiatives in higher education. This pioneering spirit carries on today, with the aim to become one of the world’s top 25 universities by 2015 backed by an ongoing £650 million investment programme in staff and facilities – the largest such investment programme in British higher education. From the President and Vice-Chancellor It is with immense pleasure that one of my first duties as the new President and Vice-Chancellor of our great University is to welcome you all – graduands, family members and friends – to The University of Manchester for this degree congregation.
