In laying themselves down before more than a thousand family members, friends, priests, deacons, seminarians and Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein on June 2 in SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral, Deacons Thomas Kovatch, Eric Nagel and Randall Summers took on the image of Christ, who laid down his life for all humanity. Just minutes later, Archbishop Buechlein, in a ritual gesture that can be traced back to the Apostles, of whom he is a successor, laid his hands upon them, and the three were ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. Each thus became what has classi- cally been called an alter Christus, “another Christ.” In his homily just prior to the ordination ritual, the archbishop spoke to the three men about the meaning of the vocation to which they were called. “Today, you put yourself at Christ’s disposal,” Archbishop Buechlein said. “You offer yourselves to More photos, serve the people pages 10-11. of our local Above, standing at the altar in SS.

  • GOLD TRIED 550 TIMES in the FIRE Timothy Alborn
    GOLD TRIED 550 TIMES IN THE FIRE Timothy Alborn Historians inevitably face the challenge of selecting a subset of primary sources to stand for a much larger body of research. This challenge is magnified in the case of the history of ideas, where the need to provide closer readings tends to diminish that already small sample size. My article, “The Greatest Metaphor Ever Mixed,” distilled hundreds of sources from numerous genres down to a few dozen. A section on the various uses of the metaphor of gold tried in the fire, for instance, quotes twenty-eight sources that employ that metaphor, or roughly five percent of the sources I consulted. To find all these sources, I pursued two parallel tracks. The first was part of a larger project on the cultural and economic history of gold in Britain from 1780 to 1850, which will soon be published by Oxford University Press. For this project, I spent the last eight years looking for references to gold wherever they showed up: in treatises, novels, sermons, speeches, and newspaper articles, among many other sources. The bulk of my research utilized such online databases as Eighteenth Century Collections Online, Making of the Modern World, and Google Books. After realizing, a few years into this research, that gold appeared frequently and with interesting variations in numerous religious contexts, I did more targeted search in these databases (see my full list of search terms below for “gold tried in the fire”). In a blog post accompanying a different article I published two years ago in the Journal of Victorian Culture, I made a first foray into providing access to the larger cultural world that historians must curtail in order to “see the forest for the trees.” (link).

  • On Pilgrimage - November 1965
    On Pilgrimage - November 1965 Dorothy Day The Catholic Worker, November 1965, 2, 6. Summary: Tales of her travel to Rome to join twenty women on a ten-day fast for peace at Vatican Council II. Shares vignettes of friends, clergy, meetings, books, prayers, Masses, and accommodations. Describes the pain that accompanied her fast. (DDLW #835). There were thirty-five bishops on board the Raffaello on the way to the Council in September and a great many priests, so there were masses morning, noon, and night in the little chapel. Bishop Mark McGrath, of Panama, concelebrated every afternoon at five o-clock with other priests and on several occasions I had the opportunity to talk to him about Schema 13 and the paragraphs concerning war and peace and conscientious objection. Father Allan Cormier, a young Holy Cross priest, was on his way to study at Strasbourg (one of his teachers will be Yves Congar) and he had introduced me to the Bishop, who said he had met me when he was an undergraduate at Notre Dame. He remembered we had a house of hospitality at South Bend, run by Julian Pleasants, who now teaches at Notre Dame and continues to carry on some of the traditions of the CW, in that he lives on the land, keeps a cow, and is near a few other families with like interests who are both workers and scholars. Bishop McGrath receives the Catholic Worker, and I gave him Reconciliation Quarterly, published by the Fellowship of Reconciliation, an unusually good issue, with articles on the Church and State and conscientious objection in Italy and a comment on Pope Paul’s talk to the Belgian soldiers.

(CNS)— Comprehensive immigration reform legislation barely cleared its first hurdle in Congress in May with the approval of the Senate Judiciary Committee, but the Catholic Legal Immigration Network Inc., known as CLINIC, is already gearing up to help a potential pool of 11 million people apply for legalization. At a May 21-24 annual conference sponsored by CLINIC, a subtext of excitement for what might lay ahead hung over the gathering of hundreds of attorneys and legal services workers. Amid workshops on technical legal topics such as adjustment of status, types of special visas and affidavits of support, a recurring theme for speakers and participants was how to get ready for comprehensive immigration reform.

ROY WILSON Dear graduate, Congratulations! Graduating from Wayne State University is a remarkable achievement, so take time to celebrate all the hard work and sacrifice it took to get here. This year’s graduation looks different than it has in other years, but your accomplishments are in no way diminished because of it. As you arrive at this milestone, I’m confident your time at Wayne State has prepared you to reach many more. You’ve shown, through your flexibility and grace during difficult and unanticipated challenges, that you are well equipped to succeed in an ever-changing and diverse world. You’ll certainly benefit from your many hours of study and from the opportunities you’ve had to engage with the world outside the classroom from our campus in Detroit. This gives you a distinct advantage. Yet the richest reward from your time at Wayne State may be the wisdom you’ve gained that has made you a productive, compassionate and thoughtful citizen committed to making a difference in your community. Wayne State demanded your best because we wanted you to reach your full potential as a student. Today, we ask for one more thing: Keep in touch. Stay engaged with the university, and help a new generation access the transformative opportunities you have had here. We trust that your experience at Wayne State University has kindled a lifelong passion for learning. So instead of goodbye, I’ll say, “Until we meet again.” Now, more than ever, it’s important for us to remain Warrior Strong.
