  • Trinity Sunday Tends to Be One That Many Clergy Joke About, Saying That It Is Better to Show Pictures of Kittens and Puppies Then to Risk Preaching a Heresy
    So again, Happy Trinity Sunday everyone! Trinity Sunday tends to be one that many clergy joke about, saying that it is better to show pictures of kittens and puppies then to risk preaching a heresy. Or, and better yet, many have their assistants, deacons, or even seminary students preach that day. Unfortunately, we don’t have any of these options, So, I guess you're stuck with me. Before we get started though and since I don’t have any good kitten or puppy pictures to pass around, I’d like to start with my favorite joke that stars the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: The Trinity were planning a holiday. The Spirit, manifesting the creative part of the divine nature, was coming up with the ideas. "Let's go to New York," he suggested. "No, no, no," said the Father, "They're all so liberated, they'll spend the whole time calling me 'Mother' and it will just do my head in." So the Spirit sat back and thought. "I know, what about Jerusalem?" he said. "It's beautiful and then there's the history and everything." "No way!" the Son declared. "After what happened the last time, I'm never going there again! "At this point, the Spirit got annoyed and went off in a huff. Sometime later he returned and found that the Father and Son had had an idea they both thought was excellent: "Why don't we go to Rome?" said the Son. "Perfect!" cried the Holy Spirit. "I've never been there before!" Right, so today, we have a choice...

  • The Unigenitus of Clement XI
    Theological Studies 49 (1988) THE UNIGÉNITOS OF CLEMENT XI: A FRESH LOOK AT THE ISSUES JACQUES M. GRES-GAYER The Catholic University of America HERE is an enigma about Unigenitus, the ill-fated bull issued by Pope TClement XI (1713) against the resurgence of Jansenism. If the Jansenist movement in general has continued to attract scholars, whose recent contributions are changing perspectives,1 the constitution that condemned 101 "Jansenist propositions" extracted from the Réflexions morales was until recently left scrupulously untouched. It seemed taken for granted as an inevitable pivot—either a terminus ad quern, the logical conclusion of a century of theological and political disputes, or a terminus a quo, the origin of a movement of rebellion that eventually developed into a revolution.2 In other words, it was considered more a catalyst or an excuse for a latent social and political conflict than its real cause; hence the interest manifested in its prolegomena or later development rather than in the document itself. It was the document itself, however, the solemn exercise of the papal magisterium, that stimulated what was then perceived as the major crisis in Catholic history. The animosities, the political schemes, and the negotiations which accompanied its preparation, the uproar, the renewed negotiations, and the conflicts which followed its publication, suggest that there was more to this document than a collection of 101 condemned extracts from a spiritual book. But what was Unigenitus all about? In what appears to be a healthy reaction to a quasi-exclusive emphasis on the social and political elements of the conflicts surrounding the bull, major scholars of Jansenism have lately advocated an approach that 1 See the review article by William H.

The essay investigates John Duns Scotus’s de- velopment of Christological doctrine against the strong Cyrilline tendencies of Thomas Aquinas. In particular the essay explores how Scotus’s innovative doctrine of the ‘haecceity’ of Christ’s human nature entailed a self-sufficing conception of the ‘person’, having to do less with the mystery of rationality and ‘communion’, and more to do with a quasi-voluntaristic ‘power’ over oneself. In this light, Scotus’s Christological development is read as suggestively con- tributing to make possible a proto-liberal condition in which ‘agency’ (agere) and ‘right’ (ius) are construed as determinative of what it means to be and act as a person. Keywords John Duns Scotus, ‘Scotist rupture’, Thomas Aquinas, homo assumptus Christology 32 Aaron Riches Introduction In A Secular Age, Charles Taylor links the movement towards the self- sufficing ‘exclusive humanism’ characteristic of modern secularism with a reallocation of popular piety in the thirteenth century.1 Dur- ing that period a shift occurred in which devotional practices became less focused on the cosmological glory of Christ Pantocrator and more focused on the particular humanity of the lowly Jesus. Taylor suggests that this new devotional attention to the particular human Christ was facilitated by the recently founded mendicant orders, especially the Franciscans and Dominicans, both of whom saw the meekness of God Incarnate reflected in the individual poor among whom the friars lived and ministered.

  • Lecture Notes
    “Modern, Anti- and Post- Modern Augustines” for “In Dialogue with Augustine” Villanova University July 23-27, 2001. An intensive seminar (three hours, Monday through Friday). Fifteen Hours Taking Descartes’ use and reworking of Augustine as defining his modern reception, the course will examine this modern Augustine, its developments, the alternatives to it and reactions against it. Topics and figures considered will include Early Modern Augustinian predecessors of Descartes like Jean Calvin, Richard Hooker and the Cardinal de Bérulle; fellows in the Cartesian project to employ an Augustinian logic for a revolution in the Christian relation to the cosmos like Galileo; the continuation of Augustinian scholasticism; the modern Augustinian reactions against modern secularity like those of Pascal, his Jansenist friends, and Kierkegaard; continuations of Augustinian Christian Platonism in the Cambridge Platonists, Ontologism, German Idealism, and in the retrieval of the Fathers of the Church. Other Twentieth-century interpretations will include the reassertion of a modern Augustinianism with Phenomenology, Charles Taylor and Stephen Menn and its opposite in the Protestant Orthodoxy of Karl Barth and his postmodern heirs, Jean-Luc Marion and Radical Orthodoxy. Finally, connections of these with the Jewish Augustine of Jacques Derrida and the revival of theurgic Neoplatonism will be considered. The aim will be to demonstrate the mutual dependence of the modern and anti-modern, the philosophical and religious forms of our following of Augustine. A Note on the Reading List It is not intended that every item on the list be required for each participant, although it will be clear that some of the readings are necessary for everyone.

  • Proper and Improper Partiality and the Preferential Option for the Poor
    Theological Studies 54 (1993) PROPER AND IMPROPER PARTIALITY AND THE PREFERENTIAL OPTION FOR THE POOR STEPHEN J. POPE Boston College ΓΤΊΗΕ PREFERENTIAL ΟΡΠΟΝ for the poor has become a major theme in X contemporary Catholic ethics,1 and, like many significant theo­ logical innovations, it is highly contested.2 In this essay I would like to address the complaint that the preferential option constitutes a form of unjust partiality. I argue that it does indeed constitute a form of par­ tiality but that, far from being morally pernicious, this partiality is morally justified and, indeed, required. My argument is that the pref­ erential option, properly understood, appeals to an expansion rather than contraction of love and wisdom, and that this form of partiality must not be associated with those forms which encourage a disregard for fairness, a distortion of truth seeking, and a narrowing of the uni­ versal love of God. The argument is directed both to advocates of the 1 The phrase itself was first officially endorsed at the Second General Conference of Latin American Bishops (CELAM) in Puebla, Mexico, in 1979, but most scholars trace its proximate origin, at least in substance, to the previous episcopal conference in Medel- lin, Colombia, in 1968 (see Liberation Theology: A Documentary History, ed. Alfred T. Hennelly [Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis, 1990] chaps. 10 and 12). John Paul Π traces its proximate source in the life of the recent Church not to Medellin but to Lumen gentium no. 8, which observes that the Church "recognizes in the poor and the suffering the likeness of her poor and suffering Founder.
