Herein, need emerges for a new, ecclesial, trinitarian, and christological paradigm to identify purposes, ends, and goods of Christian marriage. The dissertation‘s body develops the foundation and framework of this new paradigm: a Common Way in Christ. I find this paradigm by putting marriage in dialogue with an ecclesial practice already the subject of rich trinitarian, christological, ecclesial theological development: consecrated religious life.

  • Most Reverend Stanislaus Vincent Bona (1945-1967)
    Most Reverend Stanislaus Vincent Bona (1945-1967) Former biographer Monsignor Orville Griese quoted the New World, the official weekly of the Archdiocese of Chicago, after Stanislaus Vincent Bona was appointed Bishop of Grand Island, Nebraska in 1931 at the age of 43,“...He [Bishop Bona] is a man of rare simplicity of character…He is deeply sympathetic and possesses profound understanding. His zeal is vouched for by both his life and his deeds. His sanctity is the kind that strives to hide itself in becoming humility....” Almost 13 years later on December 2, 1944, Bishop Bona, a friend of Bishop Paul Rhode who had assisted earlier with celebrations of the Sacrament of Confirmation in about 35 parishes in the Diocese of Green Bay, was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of Green Bay with the right of succession. When Bishop Bona arrived in the diocese on January 17, 1945, he visited with Bishop Rhode at Mercy Hospital in Oshkosh before he officially came to Green Bay. The following day his formal installation as the Seventh Bishop of Green Bay took place in St. Francis Xavier Cathedral. In less than two months after Bishop Bona arrived in Green Bay on March 3, 1945, Bishop Rhode died; Bishop Bona immediately became the Bishop of Green Bay. Stanislaus Vincent Bona was born on October 1, 1888 in Chicago, Illinois. Earlier in 1881, his parents, John and Catherine (Smigel) Bona had come to Chicago from Drzycim, Poland. Of the seven boys and two girls in his family, Stanislaus was the fourth child. He had an older brother, Thomas, who was an example to his younger brother and also became a priest.

On the threshold of the new year we always resolve to spend the ensuing one better in the light we gained during the preceding twelve months. It is the old, old story. The 1921 edition of the Catholic Directory of India, Burma and Ceylon was far from complete, and the respective Chancellarles seeing this resolved no doubt that 1922 would see a copy unheard of for accuracy even in the life of this useful publication. All the ’ reports came in. Not one point—if we except Statistics—for the Compiler to complain about. To all and every one our best thanks.
