    Josemaría Escrivá and controversy, both within the Catholic Church and in the worldwide press.[8][9] Several independent jour- nalists who have investigated the history of Opus Dei, among them Vatican analyst John L.

  • Colleagues Celebrate Career of Fr. Richard Mcbrien
    Colleagues celebrate career of Fr. Richard McBrien To the dismay of the right and pleasure of the rest, theologian Fr. Richard McBrien has popularized Vatican II theology more than any other person. After 45 years of his award-winning weekly column (2,364 in all) titled “Essays in Theology”; after 20 books, including Catholicism, originally a two-volume synthesis of Catholic theology; after serving as president of the Catholic Theological Society of America and after being the recipient of its highest honor, the John Courtney Murray Award; after countless papers and speeches; after all this and more, McBrien was honored April 27 at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, where he has taught for 30 years. “No Catholic theologian in the United States has made a larger contribution to the reception of Vatican II than Richard P. McBrien,” said Catholic theologian Fr. Charles E. Curran, Elizabeth Scurlock University Professor of Human Values at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and a longtime McBrien colleague and friend. “McBrien has made this contribution by carrying out to the nth degree his role as a Catholic theologian.” Curran was a featured speaker at the Notre Dame McBrien symposium, whose honorary chair is former university president Holy Cross Fr. Theodore Hesburgh. It was Hesburgh who in 1980 invited McBrien to come from Boston College to chair Notre Dame’s theology department. McBrien was chair for 11 years, until 1991. Curran is not alone in his effusive praise for McBrien and his contributions to theology. According to John Thiel, president of Catholic Theological Society of America and professor of religious studies at Fairfield University in Connecticut, “McBrien is the theologian who has done the most in the American church to teach the continuing heritage of the Second Vatican Council.

Sulentic* As we enter the third millennium, men and women, especially in the poorest countries, are unfortunately still deprived of access to health services and the essential medicines for their treatment. Many of our brothers and sisters die each day of malaria, leprosy and AIDS, sometimes in the midst of the general indifference of those who could or should offer them support. May your hearts be attentive to these silent pleas! It is your task, dear members of Catholic medical associations, to work so that every person, regardless of his social or economic status, can exercise his primary right to what is necessary for restoring his health and thus to adequate medical care.' - Pope John Paul II (July 7, 2000) The Holy Father may not have had the citizens of the United States in mind when he spoke these words at an international Jubilee gathering of Catholic doctors in July 2000.

  • The Contemporary American Horror Film Remake, 2003-2013
    RE-ANIMATED: THE CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN HORROR FILM REMAKE, 2003-2013 Thesis submitted by Laura Mee In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, March 2014 Abstract This doctoral thesis is a study of American horror remakes produced in the years 2003-2013, and it represents a significant academic intervention into an understanding of the horror remaking trend. It addresses the remaking process as one of adaptation, examines the remakes as texts in their own right, and situates them within key cultural, industry and reception contexts. It also shows how remakes have contributed to the horror genre’s evolution over the last decade, despite their frequent denigration by critics and scholars. Chapter One introduces the topic, and sets out the context, scope and approach of the work. Chapter Two reviews the key literature which informs this study, considering studies in adaptation, remaking, horror remakes specifically, and the genre more broadly. Chapter Three explores broad theoretical questions surrounding the remake’s position in a wider culture of cinematic recycling and repetition, and issues of fidelity and taxonomy. Chapter Four examines the ‘reboots’ of one key production company, exploring how changes are made across versions even as promotion relies on nostalgic connections with the originals. Chapter Five discusses a diverse range of slasher film remakes to show how they represent variety and contribute to genre development. Chapter Six considers socio-political themes in 1970s horror films and their contemporary post-9/11 remakes, and Chapter Seven focuses on gender representation and recent genre trends in the rape-revenge remake.

  • Charles Curran and ACCD
    Volume 9, Number 3 Fellowship of Catholic Scholars Newsletter June 1986 Charles Curran and ACCD I In his letter of August 24, 1984 (N. 111) to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Fr. Curran offered the following in partial defense of himself. 0 "I have never said the hierarchical magisterium is so com- pletely wrong. (See Origins March 27, 1986, p. 678.) On July 7, 1978, Fr. Curran published an article entitled Ten Years Later in Commonweal (pp. 425-30), his reflec- tions on the anniversary of Humanae Vitae. Declaring his unwillingness to find a way to mitigate the teaching con- tained therein so as to avoid accusing the pope of being in error, Curran declared: "From my perspective it was important to take the more rad- ical approach. The teaching condemning artificial contraception is wrong; the pope is in error; Catholics in good conscience can dissent in theory and in practice [rom such a teaching. " (p. 426.) To anyone old enough to know what it means to be a Catholic, the responses of Charles Curran, Richard McCor- mick, Walter Burghardt, Richard McBrien, and the American Association of Catholic Universities, and their related af- filiates, to the present efforts by Pope John Paul II to restore both Catholic theology and Catholic Universities to the Church, especially in the United States, indicate how far some academic elites have departed from Catholic norms of belief and practice.
