It just de- pends on how you say it. Studies have shown the importance of tone and affect in our interpersonal communications. We could deliver great news with a scowl or an off-putting tone and people will receive it negatively. And we can share something challenging with empathy and people will often respond well. I open with this insight for its own benefit to you in your many, many occasions of pastoral inter- action with people. I also share it as an element related to an important pastoral-theological- social issue of our time. The issue: Addressing same-sex marriage (and all that surrounds this topic) from a Catholic perspective. The data out there seems to be confirming what I think most of us are experiencing anecdotally in our ministry, social circles and perhaps our families. There is a pervasive misperception about what the Catholic Church teaches about peo- ple who are gay, lesbian, and transgender. As catechetical leaders, we must consider ourselves “on” for helping to clari- fy the Church’s position and place it within the larger context of the good news of Jesus Christ. Further, I’d like to challenge you to help your parish more broadly consider how to pastorally catechize parishioners on this. Other- wise, we leave it to society to define who we are and what we be- “...there is a pervasive mis- lieve as the Church. And that will never lead to a good outcome. perception about what the Let me begin to unpack this with a key, primary premise. As Cath- olic leaders, we must never qualify or compromise the fullness of Catholic Church teaches Church teaching on homosexuality or, indeed, all of human sexuali- about people who are gay, ty. This is a foundational point. It must be Catholic teaching that we help to form people in, not our inclinations and opinions. But, lesbian, and transgender.” the second point follows closely. Clarity must always contain a full measure of compassion. Why? Because this is the face of God revealed in Jesus. And because the reception of the Gospel and Church teaching will be greater in this post-modern world when it is delivered with dialogic patience rather than didactic judgment. How is the case to be made for our faith and teaching here? First, it is helpful to start with a simple, impassioned state- ment of truth, owned by us personally and as the Church: We do not hate gay people. To the contrary, we are called (indeed, required) to love, respect, and treat them with the fullness of dignity that they deserve. There must be no reser- vation here. Until younger people today hear us and believe us on this point, I think we have little hope of gaining credibility in their minds so as to enter into deeper dialogue. (I use dialogue because people today, especially young adults and adoles- cents, refuse to be talked at. We have a better chance to bring them to an embrace of Catholic truth and wisdom through engagement rather than lecture.) So, it must start with a head-on address of the big lie that society is perpetrating (and some Catholics are complicit in) about gay, lesbian and transgender people and the Church. (This could lead to a whole, big complicated conversation about how some Catholics actually think and speak about homosexuals and homosexuality.) At this point we can and should step back from specific, narrow issues (like same-sex marriage) and explore the broad platform of Catholic moral thought…the Catholic worldview. It is here, from a more global perspective, that the beauty and power of Church teach- ing becomes more evident and can start to persuade. The foundational questions are “Who is God?” and “Who is the human person?” The God question is huge. For purposes here, I think it is helpful just to name that God is a community of persons who live in love…the Trinity. With a super- abundance of love welling up interiorly, God chose to create all that is, especially human beings, to experience and par- ticipate in this divine love. This can be a wonderful and rich theological exploration! Continued on page 3 Page The Newsletter of the Religious Education Office 2 Leaven www.dioceseofjoliet.org/reo New Wine in Old Wineskins… continued from p. 1 During the day, we will talk about how to move from: A culture of Institutional Faith to a culture of Intentional Faith A culture of Engagement to a culture of Encounter A culture of Maintenance to a culture of Mission A culture of Programs to a culture of People A culture of Avoidance to a culture of Accountability This day won’t be a silver bullet! Changing culture is difficult and painstaking work. It will, however, provide tools and a focus for your parish’s effort. If you know we need to see radical transformation in our parishes, and you’re not sure how to get there, I hope that you will come to this important event. If you are tired of working hard and seeing little change in your community, I hope to see you on January 18th. The question isn’t whether or not our parishes can experience transformation and renewal—the question is whether or not we have the will to live differently as parish communities. (See insert for more information and to register.) A Time to Sow, continued from p. 2 As to the other fundamental question upon which Catholic teaching stands, “Who is the human person?”, this groundwork must be laid before we have a chance to win the argument with society on any and all fronts, such as wealth and poverty, the environment, laws and justice, social structures, and human sexuality. The human person is God’s pinnacle of creation, created out of divine love and called to reflect it. Human persons are invited to participate in the ongo- ing generation of love and creation with God. This is a profound view of the person. It implies partnership with the Creator of the Universe and invitation to live each day in deep meaning and holy purpose, both within the heart of God and out in the world.

  • Repression of Homosexuals Under Italian Fascism
    ªSore on the nation©s bodyº: Repression of homosexuals under Italian Fascism by Eszter Andits Submitted to Central European University History Department In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Constantin Iordachi Second Reader: Professor Miklós Lojkó CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2010 Statement of Copyright Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may be not made with the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract This thesis is written about Italian Fascism and its repression of homosexuality, drawing on primary sources of Italian legislation, archival data, and on the few existent (and in most of the cases fragmentary) secondary literatures on this puzzling and relatively under- represented topic. Despite the absence of proper criminal laws against homosexuality, the Fascist regime provided its authorities with the powers to realize their prejudices against homosexuals in action, which resulted in sending more hundreds of ªpederastsº to political or common confinement. Homosexuality which, during the Ventennio shifted from being ªonlyº immoral to being a real danger to the grandness of the race, was incompatible with the totalitarian Fascist plans of executing an ªanthropological revolutionºof the Italian population. Even if the homosexual repression grew simultaneously with the growing Italian sympathy towards Nazi Germany, this increased intolerance can not attributed only to the German influence.

    Harkening to the Voices of the “Lost Ones”: Attending to the Stories of Baptized Roman Catholics No Longer Participating in the Worship and Community Life of the Church by Bernardine Ketelaars A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the University of St. Michael’s College and the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College and the University of Toronto ©Copyright by Bernardine Ketelaars 2015 Harkening to the Voices of the “Lost Ones”: Attending to the Stories of Baptized Roman Catholics No Longer Participating in the Worship and Community Life of the Church Bernardine Ketelaars Doctor of Ministry University of St. Michael’s College and the University of Toronto 2015 Abstract The phenomenon of the decline in church attendance and participation has been widely recognized and a source of concern for many mainline ecclesial communities over the past number of decades. In the Roman Catholic Church, this phenomenon seemed to become more apparent following the promulgation of the documents resulting from the Second Vatican Council. Harkening to the Voices of the Lost Ones invites the reader to enter into the experiences of baptized Roman Catholics who, for whatever reason, no longer participate in the worship and community life of the Roman Catholic Church. Not wanting to presume the reasons leading to this phenomenon, I believe that it is essential to listen attentively to the lived experiences if effective outreach ministry is going to be offered to those who have withdrawn from the Church.

Blanchard, B.A., MSt. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2018 ABSTRACT EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FORERUNNERS OF VATICAN II: EARLY MODERN CATHOLIC REFORM AND THE SYNOD OF PISTOIA Shaun L. Blanchard Marquette University, 2018 This dissertation sheds further light on the nature of church reform and the roots of the Second Vatican Council (1962–65) through a study of eighteenth-century Catholic reformers who anticipated Vatican II. The most striking of these examples is the Synod of Pistoia (1786), the high-water mark of “late Jansenism.” Most of the reforms of the Synod were harshly condemned by Pope Pius VI in the Bull Auctorem fidei (1794), and late Jansenism was totally discredited in the increasingly ultramontane nineteenth-century Catholic Church. Nevertheless, many of the reforms implicit or explicit in the Pistoian agenda – such as an exaltation of the role of bishops, an emphasis on infallibility as a gift to the entire church, religious liberty, a simpler and more comprehensible liturgy that incorporates the vernacular, and the encouragement of lay Bible reading and Christocentric devotions – were officially promulgated at Vatican II.

LG13-73 4th EMES International Research Conference on Social Enterprise - Liege, 2013 Interuniversity Attraction Pole (IAP) on Social Enterprise (SOCENT) 2012-2017 and © Loredana Picciotto ( [email protected] ) 2013. EMES-SOCENT Conference Selected Papers are available on the EMES website (www.emes.net ) and on the SOCENT website ( www.iap-socent.be ). These papers do not undergo any editing process. They are published with the support of the Belgian Science Policy Office, within an Interuniversity Attraction Pole (IAP) on social enterprise entitled “If not for profit, for what? And how?”. 1. INTRODUCTION In the 1980s and 1990s new entrepreneurial dynamics emerged in the third sector as response to the challenges of modern socio-economic context. Indeed, social enterprises arose primarily in response to social needs not adequately met, or not met at all, by public services or for profit enterprises (Borzaga and Defourny, 2001). That is because they provide goods and services which the market or public sector is unwilling or unable to provide. In the European context, the process of institutionalization of social enterprises has often been closely linked to the evolution of public policies, especially considering the structural unemployment and the need to reduce state budget deficits (Defourny, Nyssens, 2010). In this sense, the entrepreneurship policy has been characterized by measures that promote the transition from unemployment to self-employment, used as a tool to actively intervene in the labor market (Román et al., 2013).
