Jocist Movement and CFM See--Judge--Act--How Young
Jocist Movement and CFM See--Judge--Act--How young Christian Workers Renewed the Church. This article from "Salt of the Earth" magazine by Meinrad Scherer-Edmunds explains the work of Joseph Cardijn and origins of the Jocist movement which developed into CFM in the United States. See -- Judge -- Act: How Young Christian Workers Renewed the Church by Meirad Scherer-Edmunds, Salt of the Earth The night before 13-year-old Joseph Cardijn was to leave for his first day of work in the factory, he mustered the courage to ask his father a question he'd been mulling over for a long time: "Papa, can I carry on with my studies?" That request came as something of a shock to Cardijn's parents, who had counted on him, the oldest son, to finally help support the struggling family. But Cardijn continued, "I feel that God is calling me, I want to become a priest." His parents, deeply religious, agreed to make further sacrifices to help their son pursue his call. So while his peers in the small Belgian town of Hal went off to work in the area's factories, Cardijn continued his schooling and in the following year, 1896, entered the minor seminary at nearby Malines. When the boarding-school student came back home for the holidays he found his friends' attitudes toward him greatly changed. "I could see then how my old playmates -- better chaps than I, often enough -- had given up even going to church after a few months at work. Just because I was studying to be a priest, they looked upon me as an enemy. -
Pastoral Circle January Refresher
PASTORALCIRCLE January 2019 [email protected] JANUARY AS A JV The Basics: Jesuit Volunteers are encouraged to sit in reflection about the encounters they have had thus far and to examine why situations occur as they do, why are people experiencing what they do? Jesuit Volunteers are asked to explore racial identity and racial justice as a lens to do social analysis and theological reflection. What does it mean to take on an Ignatian approach of a “faith that does justice” and explore the ways the Catholic, Jesuit tradition supports the work of justice -- e.g. Catholic Social Teaching, Scripture and other elements of the tradition. PASTORAL CIRCLE A refresher: Reflect back to Orientation where the pastoral circle is offered up as a resource and framework for moving about your JV experience. Continue to seek new insights and reflections on the pastoral circle, with an emphasis on the discernment element of “judge.” And think through what the "action” draws out within you. For "action" emphasizes that the fruit of reflection and discernment is “right action,” and that JVs have a responsibility to put their faith into action. In previous years, the emphasis has been on legislative advocacy. JVs are invited to consider this, as well as other ways that they can take action. BABIES IN A RIVER PARABLE One way to consider how the Pastoral Circle is actualized is to recall the story of babies in the river... Once upon a time, there was a small village on the edge of a river. Life in the village was busy. There were people growing food and people teaching the children to make blankets and people making meals. -

Pastoral Circle: “See, Judge, Act”
Pastoral Circle: “See, Judge, Act” History • A pastoral theological method to assist groups responding to social issues, developed by Joe Holland & Peter Henriot, S.J. in their booklet Social Analysis, published by the Center of Concern in 1980. • A revised and expanded edition Social Analysis: Linking Faith & Justice was published by Orbis Books in 1983. • Has roots in the ‘see, judge, act’ method of Cardinal Joseph Cardijn which Pope John XXIII incorporated into Catholic social teaching in 1961. Reality • The pastoral circle requires that we insert ourselves into a local situation (John 6:51 and Lk. 4:18-21) so we can observe, judge, and act on reality from the perspective of our faith, relying on the Catholic social tradition. • When we insert ourselves into a situation we cannot help but be I am the living bread that affected by reality. We are affected in stages: came down from heaven; o First, we get a grip on reality through hearing the stories, whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread direct service and encounter; that is, we are affected by things that I will give is my flesh for as they really are. the life of the world. o Second, we take on the burden of reality, join the struggle, in John 6:51 order to transform it. o Third, we take responsibility for reality as the body of Christ. • The pastoral circle promotes action that touches our deepest values and motivates an organized response.

Chesnut CHESNUT — FATHER ED DOWLING — PAGE 3 QUOTES “The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a de- mocracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it.” Edward Dowling, Chicago Daily News, July 28, 1941. Father Ed rejoiced that in “moving therapy from the expensive clinical couch to the low-cost coffee bar, from the inexperienced professional to the informed amateur, AA has democratized sani- ty.”1 “At one Cana Conference he commented, ‘No man thinks he’s ug- ly. If he’s fat, he thinks he looks like Taft.

There is something spiritual about an art mu- seum or a symphony, and the Catholic Church approves of our use of them.

Truly, Much Can Be Done!'': Cooperative Economics From
“Truly, Much Can Be Done!”: Cooperative Economics from the Book of Acts to Pope Francis Nathan Schneider University of Colorado Boulder PREPRINT for Care for the World: Laudato Si’ and Catholic Social Thought in an Era of Climate Crisis, edited by Frank Pasquale (Cambridge University Press, 2019)1 At several key moments in Laudato Si’, Pope Francis makes passing reference to cooperative economics – when speaking of a more human relationship with technology, for instance, and in relation to sustainable energy production. Reading these in light of his past statements on economic cooperation, it is evident that “cooperative,” for him, is no vague nicety; rather, he is referring to a robust tradition of Catholic economic thought grounded in distributed ownership of the means of production and the prece- dence of persons over capital. This essay reviews the contours of the tradition that the pope is referring to, beginning with his own past statements on cooperative enterprise. It considers the foundations in biblical narratives of the early church; notions of the commons in early canon law; economic practices in monastic cultures; Catholic leadership in the emergence of modern coop- eration; and the current, complex interactions between Catholic thought and the secular resurgence of cooperative economics. In addition to tying together historical threads, it draws from re- porting on contemporary cooperative enterprise and on Francis’s pre-papal history with cooperativism in Argentina. Cooperative 1This essay considerably expands on an earlier publication of mine, “How Pope Francis Is Reviving Radical Catholic Economics,” The Nation (September 9, 2015). It has benefitted from feedback by Tim Huegerich, Mac Johnson, and Frank Pasquale. -

Father José Luis Múzquiz and the Beginnings of Opus Dei in the United States, 1949–1961 Federico M
“We find our sanctity in the middle of the world”: Father José Luis Múzquiz and the Beginnings of Opus Dei in the United States, 1949–1961 Federico M. Requena* Servant of God Father José Luis Múzquiz de Miguel helped found and con- solidate Opus Dei in the United States between 1949 and 1961. Having worked closely with Opus Dei’s founder, St. Josemaría Escrivá, during the 1930s and 1940s in Spain, Múzquiz was prepared to introduce Opus Dei in the context of 1950s U.S. Catholicism. While showing great fidelity to the foundational charism, Múzquiz strove to “Americanize” Opus Dei. This study of Múzquiz’s role in spreading the message of the universal call to holiness and Opus Dei’s teachings on the sanctification of work and soci- ety highlights continuities and discontinuities between Opus Dei’s message and pre-conciliar U.S. Catholicism. n March 1949, a thirty-six-year-old Spanish priest, José Luis Múzquiz de Miguel, visited Archbishop Samuel A. Stritch (1887–1958) of I 1 Chicago. A few months later, Stritch granted his blessing to Opus Dei, an institution of the Catholic Church emphasizing the call to holiness through the ordinary activities of life. Opus Dei soon began its activities in his diocese.2 Múzquiz (called “Father Joseph” by Americans) spurred Opus *The author wishes to express his gratitude to the Cushwa Center for the Study of Amer- ican Catholicism and in particular to its director, Kathleen Sprows Cummings, for aiding the author’s research of American Catholicism during his year-long residency at the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana. -
