  • Paul Vi's Ambivalence Toward Critical Biblical Scholarship
    ORGAN OF THE ROMAN THEOLOGICAL FORUM NO. 157 March 2012 PAUL VI’S AMBIVALENCE TOWARD CRITICAL BIBLICAL SCHOLARSHIP B. INDICATIONS OF APPROVAL: ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS by Brian W. Harrison Having surveyed in Living Tradition, no. 156, what might be called the ‘theoretical’ side of Pope Paul VI’s basic attitude of openness and confidence toward contemporary trends in Catholic biblical scholarship – that is, his writings and speeches expressing that attitude – we will turn now to consider the ‘practical’ side of the same coin. Here we will be looking at the Pope’s exercise of his governing authority rather than his teaching authority. His concrete decisions regarding the ‘hiring and firing’ of certain clerics who would occupy key ecclesiastical positions relating to biblical studies were to have significant ramifications that were perhaps to some extent unexpected by Paul himself. 1. 1960-1962: Tensions within the Vatican over Biblical Studies Probably the most important of these administrative decisions was one taken within the first year of Pope Paul’s pontificate. As a result of controversies over biblical studies in the last years of John XXIII’s pontificate, two prominent Scripture scholars, Maximilian Zerwick, S.J., and Stanislas Lyonnet, S.J., had in 1961 been suspended from teaching at the Pontifical Biblical Institute on account of their exegetical opinions, some of which, in the estimation of the Holy Office, were not in accord with the Church’s Magisterium. However, within one year of the election of Pope Paul VI, both of these professors were re-appointed to teach at the ‘Biblicum’ with the express approval of the new Pontiff.

  • Bishop Charles Leo Nelligan and the Creation of the Canadian Chaplain Service (Roman Catholic), 1939-19451
    CCHA Historical Studies, 72 (2006), 95-123 Fighting for the Chaplains: Bishop Charles Leo Nelligan and the Creation of the Canadian Chaplain Service (Roman Catholic), 1939-19451 Yves Yvon J. PELLETIER Since his appointment as Canada’s principal chaplain (Roman Catholic) in 1939, Bishop Charles Leo Nelligan worked tirelessly to ensure that all Catholics serving in Canada’s armed forces overseas and on the home front continued to have access to the sacraments. By the fourth year of his mandate, ongoing struggles to get his fellow bishops and provincials to nominate willing clerics for military duties, along with the extensive hours and demanding workload, had taken their physical and mental toll on Nelligan. In a letter to his childhood friend, Archbishop James McGuigan, Nelligan wrote in mid-1943: “I find now that the need [for chaplains] is so acute that we are almost approaching a state of desperation.”2 This letter underscores one of the difficulties facing the Canadian Chaplain Service (Roman Catholic) and its principal chaplain during the Second World War. As bishop for all Catholics serving in Canada’s military – an appointment officially made by the Holy See but requiring recognition from the minister of national defence – Nelligan was the representative of the Canadian Catholic Church to the federal government. As Military Ordinary (or ‘Episcopus Castrensis’), Nelligan was charged with coordinating wartime religious efforts, approving the nomination of clerics to military positions, and ensuring chaplains had access to soldiers and officers and were equipped with the tools they needed to do their jobs properly. While Nelligan may have been the best choice to become principal chaplain, his effectiveness was hampered by both bishopric and military decisions.

  • Canada District, 1949-2012
    Stories of the Chicago Province Canada District THE CANADA DISTRICT STORY, 1949 – 2012 Rev. Marcel Barsalou On February 10, 1948, Father General Aloisius Große-Kappenberg wrote to Father Joseph Eckert, who was finishing his term as provincial of the Southern Province, and asked him to go to Canada and explore the possibility of founding a mission house. Superior General Große- Kappenberg also wrote to Msgr. Ildebrando Antoniutti, the Apostolic Delegate for Canada, stating that the Society of the Divine Word was looking for a diocese in Canada where a school could be established. The Superior General went on to explain that the Society had lost about 700 members in Europe and in the missions during World War II and that the General Council had decided to seek missionary vocations in new countries. Father Eckert then wrote to the Apostolic Delegate and asked him to indicate a diocese where the Society would be welcome. Msgr. Antoniutti suggested that he visit Arthur Douville, Bishop of Saint-Hyacinthe, in the Province of Québec. The Apostolic Delegate explained that there were few possibilities in English-speaking Canada, but that vocations were plentiful in French Canada and in the Province of Québec in particular. Father Eckert went to Rougemont, Québec, on August 6, 1948, where Bishop Douville had a summer house. He was very well received by the bishop, who told him that he was acquainted with the work of the Society of the Divine Word among African Americans in Lafayette, Louisiana. He was particularly interested in the formation of priests for them. Bishop Douville told him that he was in favor of the project to open a minor seminary and suggested the town of Granby as a good location.

St. Bruno, a highly respected and much loved Dean of the cathedral school at Rheims, France, grew inflamed by a call to the monastic life. He eventually withdrew from university life and, in 1084, settled along with “I am living in the wilderness six companions in a wild uninhabited region in the mountains outside the city of Grenoble, of Calabria, far removed from France.
