Mattison, III, Ph.D. Committee Member iii ABSTRACT THE VIRTUE OF PENANCE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1975 Name: Morrow, Maria Christina University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Sandra A. Yocum This dissertation examines the conception of sin and the practice of penance among Catholics in the United States from 1955 to 1975. It begins with a brief historical account of sin and penance in Christian history, indicating the long tradition of performing penitential acts in response to the identification of one’s self as a sinner. The dissertation then considers the Thomistic account of sin and the response of penance, which is understood both as a sacrament (which destroys the sin) and as a virtue (the acts of which constitute the matter of the sacrament but also extend to include non-sacramental acts). This serves to provide a framework for understanding the way Catholics in the United States identified sin and sought to amend for it by use of the sacrament of penance as well as non-sacramental penitential acts of the virtue of penance.

Van Valkenburgh, Letter to Agnes Inglis, 1932 “The difficulty in finding perspective is related to the general American lack of a historical consciousness…Many young white activists still act as though they have nothing to learn from their sisters and brothers who struggled before them.” -George Lakey, Strategy for a Living Revolution, 1971 “From the start, anarchism was an open political philosophy, always transforming itself in theory and practice…Yet when people are introduced to anarchism today, that openness, combined with a cultural propensity to forget the past, can make it seem a recent invention—without an elastic tradition, filled with debates, lessons, and experiments to build on.” -Cindy Milstein, Anarchism and Its Aspirations, 2010 “Librarians have an ‘academic’ sense, and can’t bare to throw anything away! Even things they don’t approve of. They acquire a historic sense. At the time a hand-bill may be very ‘bad’! But the following day it becomes ‘historic.’” -Agnes Inglis, Letter to Highlander Folk School, 1944 “To keep on repeating the same attempts without an intelligent appraisal of all the numerous failures in the past is not to uphold the right to experiment, but to insist upon one’s right to escape the hard facts of social struggle into the world of wishful belief.

  • CHRISTIAN ANARCHISM: RADICAL RELIGION, RADICAL POLITICS by JONATHAN BAREFIELD (Under the Direction of Carolyn Jones Medine)
    CHRISTIAN ANARCHISM: RADICAL RELIGION, RADICAL POLITICS by JONATHAN BAREFIELD (Under the Direction of Carolyn Jones Medine) ABSTRACT This thesis articulates a variant of Christianity, as exemplified by the Catholic Worker Movement, that is radical in its submission to God and service to the Other, but anarchic in its orientation toward the State. This anarchic Christianity is grounded in radical interpretations of the Sermon on the Mount, and the thesis presents the theory and practice of the Catholic Worker as operating between Catholic social justice tradition, Levinas’s Other-oriented ethics, and anarcho-communist Peter Kropotkin’s formulations of mutual aid. INDEX WORDS: Christian anarchism, Catholic Worker Movement, Social justice, Sermon on the Mount, Emmanuel Levinas, Peter Kropotkin CHRISTIAN ANARCHISM: RADICAL RELIGION, RADICAL POLITICS by JONATHAN BAREFIELD B.A., B.S., The University of Georgia, 2008 M.A., Central Michigan University, 2012 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2017 © 2017 Jonathan Barefield All Rights Reserved CHRISTIAN ANARCHISM: RADICAL RELIGION, RADICAL POLITICS by JONATHAN BAREFIELD Major Professor: Carolyn Jones Medine Committee: Sandy D.
