FINAL_MORELAND 8/14/2018 9:10 PM THE PRE-HISTORY OF SUBSIDIARITY IN LEO XIII MICHAEL P. MORELAND† Christian Legal Thought is a much-anticipated contribution from Patrick Brennan and William Brewbaker that brings the resources of the Christian intellectual tradition to bear on law and legal education. Among its many strengths, the book deftly combines Catholic and Protestant contributions and scholarly material with more widely accessible sources such as sermons and newspaper columns. But no project aiming at a crisp and manageably-sized presentation of Christianity’s contribution to law could hope to offer a comprehensive treatment of particular themes. And so, in this brief essay, I seek to elaborate upon the treatment of the principle of subsidiarity in Catholic social thought. Subsidiarity is mentioned a handful of times in Christian Legal Thought, most squarely with a lengthy quotation from Pius XI’s articulation of the principle in Quadragesimo Anno.1 In this proposed elaboration of subsidiarity, I wish to broaden the discussion of subsidiarity historically (back a few decades from Quadragesimo Anno to the pontificate of Leo XIII) and philosophically (most especially its relation to Leo XIII’s revival of Thomism).2 Statements of the principle have historically been terse and straightforward even if the application of subsidiarity to particular legal questions has not. -

Portier, Ph.D. In its analysis of mystical body of Christ theology in the twentieth century, this dissertation identifies three major streams of mystical body theology operative in the early part of the century: the Roman, the German-Romantic, and the French-Social- Liturgical. Delineating these three streams of mystical body theology sheds light on the diversity of scholarly positions concerning the heritage of mystical body theology, on its mid twentieth-century recession, as well as on Pope Pius XII’s 1943 encyclical, Mystici Corporis Christi, which enshrined “mystical body of Christ” in Catholic magisterial teaching. Further, it links the work of Virgil Michel and Louis-Marie Chauvet, two scholars remote from each other on several fronts, in the long, winding French stream. -
Father Raymond S. Clancy Papers
FATHER RAYMOND S. CLANCY (1904-1971) COLLECTION Papers, 1896-1970 (Predominantly, 1938-1954) 5 1/2 linear feet Accession Number 499 L.C. Number The papers of the Reverend Father Raymond Scullin Clancy were placed in the Archives of Labor History and Urban Affairs in October, 1971, by Father John O'Connor and were opened for research in February, 1973. Known as Detroit's "Labor Priest," Fr. Clancy was born (June 15, 1904) and educated in Detroit, graduating from the University of Detroit in 1924. After attending St. Gregory's Preparatory Seminary, Mt. Washington, Ohio, and Mt. St. Mary's Seminary of the West, Norwood, Ohio, he was ordained into the Roman Catholic priesthood May 26, 1929. For the following eleven years he served as assistant pastor and then administrator of Church of the Epiphany in Detroit. In 1938, after special training in Roman Catholic social principles, Fr. Clancy was named executive secretary of the Catholic Conference on Indus- trial Problems which met in Detroit in January, 1939. Also named executive secretary of the (Detroit) Archdiocesan Labor Institute, he launched a pro- gram of labor education for Roman Catholic workers in 1939/40. Beginning with eight experimental parish schools, the Institute, which worked in coopera- tion with the Detroit Association of Catholic Trade Unionists, grew to forty schools, the largest such program in any Roman Catholic diocese in the world. In addition, Fr. Clancy became Director of the Social Action Department of the Detroit Archdiocese, a position he held into the 1950's. During this period he was a frequent spokesman for the adoption of Roman Catholic social and economic principles, especially as enunciated in the papal encyclicals, Rerum Novarum and Quadragesimo Anno, as well as post-World War II planning. -
Quadragesimo Anno (The Fortieth Year ) on Reconstruction of the Social Order
Quadragesimo Anno (The Fortieth Year ) On Reconstruction of the Social Order Pius XI, 1931 Encyclical of Pope Pius Xl issued on May 15, 1931 To Our Venerable Brethren, the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, Bishops and other Ordinaries in Peace and Communion with the Holy See, and Likewise to All the Faithful of the Catholic World. Venerable Brethren and Beloved Children, Health and Apostolic Benediction. 1. Forty years have passed since Leo Xlll's peerless Encyclical, On the Condition of Workers, first saw the light, and the whole Catholic world, filled with grateful recollection, is undertaking to commemorate it with befitting solemnity. 2. Other Encyclicals of Our Predecessor had in a way prepared the path for that outstanding document and proof of pastoral care: namely, those on the family and the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony as the source of human society,[1] on the origin of civil authority[2] and its proper relations with the Church,[3] on the chief duties of Christian citizens,[4] against the tenets of Socialism[5] against false teachings on human liberty,[6] and others of the same nature fully expressing the mind of Leo Xlll. Yet the Encyclical, On the Condition of Workers, compared with the rest had this special distinction that at a time when it was most opportune and actually necessary to do so, it laid down for all mankind the surest rules to solve aright that difficult problem of human relations called "the social question." 3. For toward the close of the nineteenth century, the new kind of economic life that had arisen and the new developments of industry had gone to the point in most countries that human society was clearly becoming divided more and more into two classes. -
Catholic Social Teaching and the Market Economy
Journal of Markets & Morality Volume 15, Number 1 (Spring 2012): 11–20 Copyright © 2012 Catholic Social Teaching and the Market Economy Philip Booth Professor of Insurance and Risk Management, Cass Business School A Reply to Editorial and Programme Director Daniel K. Finn Institute of Economic Affairs This article examines the use of sources in an essay by Daniel Finn. Booth claims that Finn’s citations of Booth’s own work (as well as that of others) fail to respon- sibly and properly account for the original context of those references as well as their clear implications. After outlining the differences between libertarianism and neoconservatism, as well as between Catholic social thought and Catholic social teaching, Booth proceeds to examine three specific citations attributed to him by Finn. Booth concludes by looking at Finn’s characterization of positions attributed to Robert Sirico and Rodger Charles, as well as with a statement about the pos- sible contributions to Catholic social thought to be gained from public choice and Austrian economics. In a contribution to a controversy in the Journal of Markets & Morality, Daniel Finn discussed what he described as “Nine Libertarian Heresies Tempting Neoconservatives to Stray from Catholic Social Thought.”1 This is an inauspi- cious title for an article in an academic journal. To begin with, it is not obvious why libertarian heresies would tempt neoconservatives. Neoconservatives are not libertarian, and they tend to believe in using the state to achieve neocon- servative aims. This is one reason why George W. Bush ranks with Presidents Roosevelt and Johnson as one of the three presidents who expanded the scope of the state most rapidly. -

Introduction In the case of the Catholic law school at least, Catholic social doctrine answers a need. The Catholic Church is in need of a program and Catholic law schools are there to advance that program, so for this reason there must be Catholic social doctrine. The stance of the Church, as reflected in the existence of these Catholic law schools, reflects a dual commitment of service to the good of the larger society, on essentially its terms, and, at the same time, to the integrity of the Church’s own perspective independent of the drift of society.1 The Church’s need for independence flows from the integrity of the faith.2 As a result of this dual requirement, the Church needs directives that travel light so that they can encapsulate and preserve the distinctive Catholic difference, but still be adopted within a law school structured to the needs of the William Wagner is Professor of Law and Director, Center for Law, Philosophy and Culture, Columbus School of Law, the Catholic University of America. -

THE USE OF PHILOSOPHICAL PRINCIPLES IN CATHOLIC SOCIAL THOUGHT: THE CASE OF GAUDIUM ET SPES REVEREND JOSEPH W. KOTERSKI, S.J.t It is common to find individuals who are very attracted to questions of social justice and others quite uninterested, or even suspicious.1 At both extremes there are dangers to avoid. On the one hand, Catholicism may never be reduced to the concerns of "the social gospel" apart from the rest of the faith.2 On the other hand, the Church's social teachings, especially in the clear articulation given by recent popes and the Second Vatican Council, are not peripheral to the faith, not something purely optional, as if the essence of Catholicism were a matter of spirituality to the exclusion of morality.3 Like the rest of Catholic moral theology, Catholic Social Teaching (CST) has roots both in revelation and reason,4 and anyone interested in t Rev.

Concluding Keynote Address Charles W
Concluding Keynote Address Charles W. Colson Journal of Markets & Morality Volume 5, Number 1 (Spring 2002), 287–304 Copyright © 2002 How Now Shall Charles W. Colson We Live? President, Prison Fellowship Ministries It is a delight for me to be here again on the campus of Calvin College. I first came here more than twenty years ago, not long after my conversion. I was invited by Dr. Carl Henry, and we had a meeting at that time with the under- graduate faculty. I will confess a secret sin that the evangelical world knew nothing about at that time, and one that I hid very carefully—remember, this was just a couple of years after my conversion—I smoked! Honestly, I thought I was alone in this, but, to my great surprise, when I met with the faculty that day I could hardly see across the room because they had all brought out huge pipes and were just puffing away! I told them that if I had known that before I joined the Baptist Church, I might have become a member of the Christian Reformed Church instead! Well, that was a long time ago, but I remember it clearly. And there are many reasons why I am happy to be with you today. As well, I appreciate what Calvin College is doing as an institution and as a seminary. And, in par- ticular, I am thrilled with this conference. You have honored me by asking me to come to address you tonight. What brings us here is the remarkable and still controversial idea of Calvinists and Catholics coming together—in this bas- tion of the Reformed faith—meeting here in Grand Rapids, of all places, on this campus, and on the eve of Reformation Sunday! Surely the Millennium must be coming! I can feel the ground shaking! Father Robert Sirico used some of his most persuasive skills when he invited me, and I admire his courage.
