    4/1/2021 Identity Crisis Published on Commonweal Magazine (https://www.commonwealmagazine.org) Home > Identity Crisis Students walking on the Milwaukee campus of Marquette University (CNS photo/courtesy Marquette University). Those who remember the Laetare Medal controversy of 2009 might be feeling a little déjà vu as Notre Dame approaches this year’s commencement. That was when Mary Ann Glendon, former U.S. ambassador to the Holy See, was supposed to receive the honor. But she refused, citing the controversy over then-President Barack Obama’s attendance. The university didn’t issue the award, and that was also the last time a sitting U.S. president visited Notre Dame. Now, twelve years later, people are wondering: Will the university invite Joe Biden [1], just the second Catholic president in U.S. history? That this is even a newsworthy issue shows how easily we can be distracted from the larger underlying concern—namely, the crisis in American Catholic higher education. It’s a bigger problem than the collapse of ecclesial credibility and the behavior of the bishops, and it can’t be blamed solely on politics. Student enrollment is trending down [2], for a variety of reasons—from perceptions about academic competitiveness and future employability to economic conditions related to the pandemic. Even Jesuit institutions, generally thought to be the strongest subgroup of Catholic universities, are feeling the pressure: John Carroll University, Marquette University, St. Louis University, and Wheeling University are dealing [3] with deficits [4], cutting staff [5], or gutting programs [6]. But in seeking to address these challenges, many schools are putting their Catholic identity at risk—namely, by positioning and marketing themselves as part of the mainstream liberal-progressive realm of higher education.

    Statement by H.E. MARY ANN GLENDON President of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences Head of the Delegation of the Holy See to The ECOSOC 2004 High Level Segment on Least Developed Countries AResource Mobilization and Enabling Environment for Poverty Eradication in the context of the implementation of the Program of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2001-2010@ New York, 29 June 2004 Madam President: With indications that the least developed countries are in danger of failing to meet established goals aimed at eradication of poverty, the Holy See joins its voice to those that are urgently calling the family of nations to attend to the needs of its most vulnerable members. My delegation notes with concern that, based on progress to date, most LDCs are unlikely to achieve, for example, the goals of the Brussels Program of Action [BPOA]. Economic growth rates of LDCs have been well below levels needed to start making inroads into poverty reduction, investment flows have not increased significantly, Official Development Assistance (ODA) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows have been inadequate. Moreover, many LDCs find themselves in a post-conflict situation with as many as 80% of the 20 poorest LDCs having emerged from a civil war within the past 15 years. But, these difficulties and challenges encountered thus far must not be regarded as excuses, but rather as spurs to more intense efforts by the development partners. For as Pope John Paul II has insisted, AThe poor cannot wait.@ No one can deny that the challenge to reverse what often appears to be a self-perpetuating cycle of poverty, especially of LDCs, is formidable.

  • Vatican Ambassadors: Potpourri of People
    Vatican ambassadors: Potpourri of people VATICAN CITY – Many countries’ embassies to the Vatican have a priest on staff to help advise their ambassador on pontifical protocol and all things Catholic. But most of them could learn a few things from Mary Ann Glendon, the Harvard law professor President George W. Bush nominated as U.S. ambassador to the Holy See. In 2004, Pope John Paul II named her president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, an advisory body chock full of experts in law, economics, sociology and other fields. She led the Vatican’s delegation to the 1995 U.N. Conference on Women in Beijing and to a follow-up meeting on the status of women in 2005. At first glance, it would seem that if the U.S. Senate confirms her nomination Glendon’s Vatican connections would make her a unique member of the diplomatic corps. But Poland’s ambassador to the Vatican, Hanna Suchocka, also is a member of the social sciences academy and, like Glendon, she is one of the original members appointed by Pope John Paul when he established the academy in 1994. Suchocka, again like Glendon, has a background in law. But the Polish ambassador also was deeply involved in partisan politics, elected to Poland’s legislature before serving as Poland’s prime minister, 1992-93. The Polish ambassador currently is one of 17 women in the 175-member group of diplomats accredited to the Vatican. While Glendon can be described as a Vatican “insider,” she has never been a salaried Vatican employee, like two other members of the diplomatic corps serving at the Vatican.
