  • Humanae Vitae by Greg Witherow
    Humanae Vitae By Greg Witherow The year 1960 was pivotal for contraception. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration had just approved the birth control pill for use by the American public. This act culminated years of labor by Margaret Sanger, the founder of the American birth control movement and Planned Parenthood, who helped provide funding in its development1. The Pill was by no means the first contraceptive. But with its ease and near 100% effectiveness it brought contraception into the mainstream. Yet initially, contraceptives were not universally legal in the United States. It was not until the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Connecticut law outlawing contraception2 in 1965 and a subsequent 1972 case3 (giving the unmarried access to contraception) that contraceptives were universally available in the United States4. With the ensuing use of contraception, dramatic changes were unleashed in Western civilization, often in ways unanticipated by the public. For the first time in the history of mankind, sexual intercourse had been effectively decoupled from pro creation. The social implications were immense. Women saw the Pill as Liberation. They could now control their destiny and the natural workings of their bodies. No longer would they be burdened with children they didn’t choose to have. Men instinctively saw something different; for them the Age of Unfettered Sex was about to dawn5. No longer would sex have consequences that required additional social obligations. And in the wake of contraception loomed the abortion and pornography industries. While always existing at the periphery, these trades were now moved to the threshold of the mainstream6, with contraception as the necessary stepping-stone.

  • Persona, Autobiography and the Magic of Retrospection in Bruce Springsteen's Late Career
    Persona Studies 2019, vol. 5, no. 1 BRILLIANT DISGUISES: PERSONA, AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND THE MAGIC OF RETROSPECTION IN BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’S LATE CAREER RICHARD ELLIOTT ABSTRACT Popular musicians with long careers provide rich source material for the study of persona, authenticity, endurance and the maintenance (and reinvention) of significant bodies of work. The songs of successful artists create a soundtrack not only to their own lives, but also to those of their audiences, and to the times in which they were created and to which they bore witness. The work of singers who continue to perform after several decades can be heard in terms of their ‘late voice’ (Elliott 2015a), a concept that has potentially useful insights for the study of musical persona. This article exploits this potential by considering how musical persona is de- and re-constructed in performance. I base my articulation of the relationship between persona, life-writing and retrospective narrativity on a close reading of two late texts by Bruce Springsteen: Born to Run, the autobiography he published in 2016, and Springsteen on Broadway, the audiovisual record of a show that ran from October 2017 to December 2018. In these texts, Springsteen uses the metaphor of the ‘magic trick’ as a framing device to shuttle between the roles of autobiographical myth-breaker and lyrical protagonist. He repeatedly highlights his songs as fictions that bear little relation to his actual life, while also showing awareness that, as often happens with popular song, he has been mapped onto his characters in ways that prove vital for their sense of authenticity.

  • "Quaerere Deum." Twelve Years Ago on the Dot, the September 12 of the Church of Benedict
    "Quaerere Deum." Twelve Years Ago On the Dot, the September 12 of the Church of Benedict Dc, 19/09/2018 URL article: http://magister.blogautore.espresso.repubblica.it/2018/09/19/quaerere-deum-twelv … > Italiano > English > Español > Français > All the articles of Settimo Cielo in English * That “The Benedict Option” is truly “the most important religious book of the decade” - as David Brooks predicted in the “New York Times” - is now beyond a doubt, seeing how the discussion it has generated has come to involve even the highest levels of the Catholic Church. In presenting this book last week in the chamber of deputies of the Italian republic, Archbishop Georg Gänswein, Joseph Ratzinger’s secretary before and after his resignation from the papacy, in fact did not hesitate to bring to the field the two most recent popes, because - he said - “even Benedict XVI from the moment of his resignation conceived of himself as an elderly monk who feels it his duty to dedicate himself above all to prayer for Mother Church, for his successor Francis and for the Petrine ministry instituted by Christ himself.” Of course, the Benedict of the “option” - in the book by the American former Catholic and now Orthodox Rod Dreher - is not pope Ratzinger, but Saint Benedict of Norcia, the great monk of the fifth and sixth centuries who gave rise to a 1 formidable rebirth of Christian faith and culture in the chaos that followed the collapse of the Roman empire. But the other Benedict, the pope, evoked precisely that rebirth in his memorable address - absolutely worth rereading - of September 12, 2008 in Paris, at the Collège des Bernardins, essentially proposing that the Catholics of today take up and bring to life again the lesson of that great Benedictine monasticism, at the present juncture of civilization: > "Quaerere Deum" About Pope Francis, however, it cannot be said that he finds himself in harmony with this vision, according to at least two indications.

  • Podcast #44- a Psychologist Analyzes Bruce Springsteen I Want to Offer up Some Thoughts About the Psychology of Bruce
    1 Podcast #44- A Psychologist Analyzes Bruce Springsteen I want to offer up some thoughts about the psychology of Bruce Springsteen today. Now, Springsteen’s psyche isn’t the easiest thing for me to analyze, I must admit. The reason is that he is also my musical hero. I’ve been a fan since 1969 when he ruled the musical scene on the Jersey Shore where I grew up. In fact, he lived in my neighborhood and played at my high school prom. So, I love his music and, well, frankly, I idealize him as a performer and songwriter. Just as shrinks aren’t supposed to treat anyone in their own family, so too it feels awkward wearing my therapist hat trying to understand Springsteen’s psyche. It’s hard to be objective. Fortunately, I’m greatly aided by his highly revealing and soul-searching autobiography, Born to Run, and, ​ ​ secondarily by his intimate storytelling in his one-man Broadway show, Springsteen on Broadway. ​ ​ Springsteen’s ruthless honesty and clear-eyed introspection no doubt derive, in part, from the fact that he has been in psychotherapy for over 30 years, much of it with 2 psychiatrist, Wayne Myers—therapeutic work that he says lay at the heart of the autobiography. For someone so prominent to talk about his mental illness—in Springsteen’s case it was a profound and long standing depression--has made it safe for others to do the same. Springsteen’s depression found its roots in a childhood filled with neglect, emotional cruelty, and unstable attachments. His father, Doug, was an explosive alcoholic tormented by persecutory and paranoid thoughts.

  • Preface Card. Pietro Parolin This Present Volume Is the Second That
    Preface Card. Pietro Parolin This present volume is the second that Fr. Antonio Spadaro, SJ, has curated entirely dedicated to the Church in China.1 It comes at a particular moment in the history of relations between the Apostolic See and the ancient Middle Kingdom, especially following the signing of the Provisional Agreement on the nomination of Bishops, which took place in Beijing on September 22, 2018. The volume emerges from the sphere of initiatives of the “China Forum for Civilizational Dialogue,” a collaboration between the journal La Civiltà Cattolica and Georgetown University. It draws together various studies that have appeared over the last two years in La Civilità Cattolica, leading the reader on a unique intellectual and ecclesial journey through the culture, society and spirituality of China today. The pictograms chosen for the front cover represent two highly evocative expressions: “journey” and “ahead.” They synthesize, in some way, the journey of institutional dialogue between the Holy See and the authorities of the People’s Republic of China that has been evolving at different levels through numerous episodes since the end of the 1980s. They reflect two fundamental interpretative keys: ecclesial continuity and pastoral engagement for the future. These two reference markers take on vital importance especially today, for – without ignoring the spiritual treasure of the local Catholic communities, and taking on the great sufferings and misunderstandings lived by Chinese Catholics for many years – we are called to remember the past and write together a new page for the future of the Church in China. 1 The first volume is Nell’anima della Cina.

  • Don't Decriminalize Weed, Legalize It (Canadian Pot
    Don’t Decriminalize Weed, Legalize It (Canadian Pot Politics) By Cotey Paterson In July of this year, Justin Trudeau, the leader of the federal Liberal Party of Canada, came out in support of cannabis legalization. Trudeau said he’s “not in favour of decriminalizing” cannabis, he’s “in favour of legalizing it”. Trudeau supports taxation and regulation, saying “it’s one of the only ways to keep it [cannabis] out of the hands of our kids because the current war on drugs, the current model isn’t working". Trudeau did not keep it safe by using the weasel-word 'decriminalization', which would keep the black market unharmed while creating uncertainty in the law. Instead, he had the courage to say what a majority of Canadians know: the laws prohibiting cannabis do more harm to users and society than the drug itself. We need to make it known that Canadians support Trudeau’s courageous position. One easy way to do that is by signing the petition to legalize cannabis on the Liberal Party of Canada’s website. It currently has more than 22,000 signatures, but with millions of Canadian cannabis users, there should be many more people willing to take a few minutes to show their support and possibly impact Canada’s drug laws. Trudeau’s pot remarks have been well-received by most – but in the past, he has expressed fears about the danger cannabis poses to society. Additionally, in 2009, Trudeau and other Liberal MPs voted for Bill C-15, which would have imposed mandatory minimum sentences for cannabis-related offences.

  • Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Musical Theatre Jorge Arévalo Mateus Politics Is Theater
    ISSN 2053-8804 Woody Guthrie Annual, 3 (2017): Arévalo Mateus: Guthrie, Dylan, and Musical Theatre Girl from the North Country and Woody Sez: Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Musical Theatre ! Jorge Arévalo Mateus ! Politics is theater. It doesn’t matter if you win. You make a statement. You say, I’m here, pay attention to me. – Harvey! Milk ! When Lady Gaga opens her concert with Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land” and Bob Dylan garners the Nobel Prize for Literature (in 2016), it is apparent that creative work by these cultural titans has wandered into new regions of art, entertainment, and public consumption.1 Recent productions of musical theatre pieces built around Guthrie and Dylan material presents a rather novel development in the ongoing popularisation and canonisation of both artists — each of whom has been inextricably associated with the notion of the American “common man,” a mythic creature that remains firmly ensconced in the popular imagination. The prolific perpetuation of mythmaking to new audiences, advanced by the distinct yet sometimes overlapping Guthrie and Dylan camps, and nearly bordering on religious and/or political obsession, demonstrates that while you can’t have one without the other, the ways of presenting their work is most certainly not limited to folk music collaborations by established or new artists, the release of new or reissued recordings, or the ad infinitum cover versions that appear in public, private, or academic settings. While musical theatre history has long occupied a “populist” space where social, political, and economic themes occasionally flow into the cultural mainstream of popular entertainment, these new theatre works expose distinct differences in how Guthrie and Dylan each experienced and engaged with the world, to say little of how their legacies continue to be constructed.

  • Upgrades, Rebranding Designed to Further
    CRANKING UP ‘THE AMP’ BY LISA WHITE UPGRADES, REBRANDING DESIGNED TO FURTHER HEIGHTEN PROFILE OF ST. AUGUSTINE AMPHITHEATRE AND PONTE VEDRA CONCERT HALL . Amphitheatre kicked o its main-stage concert season March 1 with a sold-out show by Alabama, guests at the Florida venue couldn’t help but notice the changes. The 4,000-seat facility had been expanded by 700 seats, and a new food truck area provided fresh local options beyond the traditional concession stands. “We sell out a lot of our shows quickly, so we knew the demand was Athere and the ability to bring in bigger acts,” said Gabe Pellicer, assistant director of the venue and the adjacent Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, about the new seats. “We knew we had a lot of momentum, so we went for it.” The changes coincide with a rebranding for what’s now being called The Amp St. Augustine, including new graphics and brand colors and a fresh tagline — “Big Acts, Small Venue” — that echoes Pellicer’s words. The rebranding eorts are among a continuing eort to create a nationally known venue in a small market. “We felt like we ran into a fork in the road,” Pellicer said. “Do we create more revenue, more shows or a better experience? We’re a government-run venue that doesn’t have to chase prots, so we decided to make it the best we possibly could.” Owned and operated by the cultural events division of St. Johns County, The Amp hosts over 40 concerts and multiple community events annually, including the Saturday Farmers Market, held year-round, and the Sing Out Loud Festival, Florida’s largest free live entertainment festival and benet, held every weekend in September.

  • Gaudete Et Exsultate
    Gaudete et Exsultate Some years ago, as I walked to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne Australia, I passed the beautifully restored garden along the pilgrim’s path that has a fountain, significantly a fountain WITHOUT flowing water because of the drought that has plagued Australia in those years. Etched in the fountain are prophetic words from the Australian poet, James McAuley. When faced with the challenge of how to present Christ to those who are indifferent or reject him, James McCauley, who died in 1976, wrote: Incarnate Word, in whom all nature lives. Cast fire upon the earth: raise up contemplatives Among us, men who walk within the fire Of ceaseless prayer, impetuous desire Set pools of silence in this thirsty land.1 If I could rewrite this poem, as a prayer, for this WUCWO meeting, I would say: Incarnate Word, in whom all nature lives. Cast fire upon the earth: raise up contemplatives Among us, women who walk within the fire Of ceaseless prayer, impetuous desire Set pools of silence in this thirsty land. I find it extraordinary that these words were written in the 1970’s and that they speak so powerfully to us today. They place before us both the gift and the responsibility that Christ offers us. It is the powerful Incarnate Word who casts fire upon the Earth. Jesus, the Holy One, draws us into the path of holiness. You and I become holy only if we let Christ work in our lives. Only then can we can spread the fire of his love to those whom we meet because we will be people who walk within the fire.
