Abstract: The book title is taken from Mt 13:30: “Let them grow together until harvest,” which is part of Jesus’ parable of the weed and the wheat. Its thesis is: The biblical command, Mt 13:30, is the Leitmotiv (p. 16) that dominates the concept and the historical development of religious tolerance. This Scripture verse is the most significant contribution that Christianity has made to the coming into existence of religious tolerance. This verse is “Jesus’ words of tolerance” (p. 16). As far as I can see, no scholar before Angenendt has ever traced the use of Mt 13:30 through the centuries. The book does not provide any biographical information about its author. He was born in 1934, a priest of the Catholic Church in ...

Abstract: The volume comes with two CD-ROMs attached: “San Pio X—la sua musica,” Coenobium Vocale, directed by Maria Dal Bianco (it contains fifteen pieces of liturgical music written by the young Sarto); and “Concerto Sinfonico per San Pio X,” Orchestra Regionale Filarmonia Veneta, directed by Marco Titotto, Organist Giovanni Feltrin (Concert for Saint Pius X in the Cathedral of Treviso, March 29, 2014).This long book presents twenty-seven heterogeneous articles, in different ways related to Giuseppe Sarto—Pope Pius X, elected on August 4, 1903, died August 20, 1914, later canonized by Pius XII, May 29, 1954. Edited texts were initially presented at some conferences and meetings organized in 2013–2014 (the most relevant an ...

Abstract: In this outstanding study Thomas Arentzen masterfully transports the reader to sixth-century Constantinople, a time and place marked by dramatic liturgical development and immense growth in Marian piety. With a well-written text that has poetical qualities, the author draws the reader in the sixth-century Constantinopolitan context and mindset; he enables the reader to engage with Romanos the Melodist’s famous kontakia through the lenses and the psyche of a sixth-century Constantinopolitan worshiper. Arentzen argues that “in the realm of Marian representation, Romanos deviates both from ascetic strands and from the Christological strand of earlier Marian texts” (p. 39). Rather, Romanos gives the Virgin Mary a voice ...

Abstract: Sometimes medieval writers left us so little information about specific medieval saints that we can study only their cults rather than the saints themselves. Not so in the case of Thomas Becket. Because contemporaries recorded so much about him shortly after his death and because he was such an important political as well as religious figure, the scholarship on him abounds. As a result, study of the saint has tended to overshadow scholarship on his enormously important cult. This collection of articles, which includes pieces by two of the most important Becket specialists now active in the field, shifts attention from the man to the early decades of devotion to him.The collection begins with a deeply researched and ...

Abstract: Although Caterina Vigri (1413–1463) is known as St. Catherine of Bologna, she actually spent most of her life in nearby Ferrara. Caterina spent the majority of her time there at the community of Corpus Domini—then known as Corpus Christi. This Clarissan, noted as a great writer, preacher, and mystic of the quattrocento, was also a visual artist. It is this dimension of her œuvre that Kathleen Arthur treats in Women, Art, and Observant Franciscan Piety: Caterina Vigri and the Poor Clares in Early Modern Ferrara. Although this monograph does add to our understanding of Caterina’s individual works, its main contribution is an exploration of Corpus Christi as a community. By reconstructing the visual environment and ...

Abstract: A decade before the revelation of his calling as he mused amidst the ruins of the Capitol in Rome, Edward Gibbon dreamed of studying Arabic. The “childish fancy” was banished by his unimaginative Oxford tutor. But it might easily have been otherwise. The books of Islamic history which captivated the teenaged Gibbon were the product of a “Republic of Arabic Letters.” For more than a century, scholars and patrons from Paris to Oxford, Leiden to Rome, had stocked libraries with Arabic, Persian, and Turkish manuscripts. In Italy, Lodovico Marracci, a clerk regular in the Order of the Mother of God, had translated the Qur’an into Latin, while the English divine Edward Pococke uncovered the early history of the Arabs. ...

Abstract: It cannot be said that the Irish Catholic campaign for ‘Emancipation’ has been ignored by historians. James A. Reynold’s pioneering analysis of the mass movement that led to the eligibility of Irish Catholics to sit in the Westminster Parliament (Yale University Press, 1954) was supplemented by Fergus O’Farrell’s study of the local sources of O’Connellite support during the 1820s (Dublin, 1984). Nor has the life of Daniel O’Connell, the campaign’s leader, been neglected. Oliver MacDonagh’s magisterial two-volume biography (London, 1988, 1989) of the ‘Liberator,’ as O’Connell was quickly dubbed, can be set alongside the more recent two-volume study by Patrick Geoghegan (Dublin, 2008, 2010) and, easily overlooked, a ...

Abstract: Pope Pius XI (reigning 1922–1939) is known as the interwar pope and held the Church’s highest position during one of the most politically fraught periods of the modern era. Italy experienced a rise in fascism but not before Ratti had concluded an agreement with Italy in 1929 ending the long stalemate existing since the Risorgimento. The rise of communism in Russia produced hardships for Pius’ Church as did the great political turmoil in Mexico, which often expressed itself as openly anticlerical, in the form of murders. The 1930s featured the rise of Nazism and along with it, Antisemitism. But Ratti had important training for such events beginning in the summer of 1918 when he was appointed papal nuncio in Poland ...

Abstract: The title needs some unpacking. “Bohemian, all too Bohemian” is not a reference to an unconventional lifestyle but to a geographical term designating the central European region of Bohemia. More recently the territory was called Czechoslovakia, and since 1993 it is the Czech Republic. Verwischte Lebensbilder may be translated with “sketchy, smeared, smudged, or blurred, biographies.” These German speaking people lived in that region for centuries in what (only since the beginning of the twentieth century) was called Sudentenland. Südwesten is a reference to the southwestern corner of present-day Germany, the State of Baden-Württemberg, where many of the Heimatvertriebene (“those chased from their homeland”) were ...

Abstract: If you have never been to Iowa, Steven Avella can take you there, through the lens of the Catholic Church in the twentieth century. His first chapter begins with Jacques Marquette in 1673 and extends with nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century developments in Catholic life and institutions in Southwest Iowa up to the establishment of the diocese of Des Moines in 1911. The book’s focus is the history of the diocese, primarily from the point of view of the development of its institutions—the office of bishop, leading parishes and pastors, educational facilities, and other Catholic institutions (hospitals, academies, orphanages, charitable organizations, etc.). Except for the first, each chapter is organized ...

Abstract: As a young man, Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos (1819–1867) discerned his vocation to become a Redemptorist missionary for German immigrants in North America. In 1843, he left his home in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps and began his journey to America, where he was soon received into the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer in Baltimore. After his ordination in December 1844, he was sent to St. Philomena, the German immigrant parish in Pittsburgh where, in addition to parish duties, he was also the director of novices. Later he was sent to parishes in Baltimore, Annapolis, and Cumberland, Maryland. Most of the time he was also novice director or the prefect and teacher of Redemptorist students preparing for the ...

Abstract: Popularly known as “Sioux,” the Lakota today live on nine reservations in South Dakota and several others in Canada and the United States. The Sicangu division (formerly referred to as the “Brulé”) occupy the Rosebud Reservation. This study addresses a range of subjects that affected these people and the Indian world as a whole in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.Chapters cover “Federal-Indian relations,” Grant’s “peace policy,” Bishop Marty’s stewardship of the Dakota Territory, his interaction with the controversial Father Francis Craft, and his enlisting German-born nuns and priests to staff St. Francis Mission. Apart from the challenging terrain upon which the people were scattered, efforts to ...

Abstract: Become a missionary and see the United States! This centennial history of the Missionary Society of Saint Columban (Columbans) compliments a well-known mantra: become a missionary and see the world! Domestic and international experience often grounds a sound missionary identity. Building upon pre-existing histories of the Columban missionary narrative, this case study describes the diverse parameters whereby Irish Columbans, upon arrival in the United States (1918), sought American financial and spiritual support for their newly established China mission (1920) and others missionary efforts in the ensuing decades.Designated by the Columbans to author the history, Angelyn Dries, O.S.F., professor emerita of St. ...

Abstract: This is an exemplary work of scholarship on the life and legacy of Bishop Constantine Bohachevsky of Philadelphia, who was the only bishop-eparch of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in the United States from 1924 to 1956 (the time of the separation of the Stamford Eparchy from that of Philadelphia) and its first Metropolitan-Archbishop of Philadelphia from 1958 to his death on January 6, 1961 (Christmas Eve in the Julian Calendar). It is written by his niece in fine respect for the character and work of her uncle. The author herself is known in academic surroundings as a professor emerita of Manhattanville College and a Fulbright Scholar. It is this latter fact that provides the book with the endless hours of research ...

Abstract: Lorenzo Boturini is best known for having assembled one of the largest collections of Mexican colonial indigenous codices in the mid-eighteenth century ever. As he struggled to recover the collection from the Mexican authorities, Boturini printed in 1746 a catalogue, along with a historiographical proposal on how to write a new history of ancient Mexico. The proposal drew on new forms of evidence, primarily Nahua vocabularies. This book is a fine translation of Boturini’s original eighteenth-century Spanish publication, Idea de una nueva historia general. Boturini’s printed catalogue of codices is confusing and garbled, for the Italian relied on memory to reconstruct it. It took John B. Glass over thirty years to ...

Abstract: My nonagenarian father has vivid memories of going to a “bootleg” Catholic kindergarten in the early 1930s, trying to avoid soldiers in Pénjamo, Guanajuato on his way to the house of the week, where Catholic nuns offered elicit lessons on the faith to young Mexicans in the aftermath of the Cristero War. My American-born father, whose family fled to Chicago during the Mexican Revolution in the 1910s, grew up in his mother’s hometown in the Catholic heartland of Mexico. His story, like those recounted in Julia Young’s Mexico Exodus, reveals the transnational nature of Mexican communities, and the ways Catholicism permeated the journeys abroad and returns home for many Mexicans across multiple generations.Dr. Young ...

Abstract: Rev. Richard Gribble, C.S.C.PresidentThe American Catholic Historical Association 2018(Photo credit: Stonehill College Archives)Arguably the most famous teaching of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels, the “Sermon on the Mount,” begins, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3) In the post-Vatican II era of the Church, Jesus’ proclamation was translated into the “preferential option for the poor,” which found roots in Liberation Theology, the constitutions of various religious congregations, and most importantly the ministerial actions of many individuals, groups, and institutions.Humberto Medeiros, as priest and bishop, took seriously the challenge of Jesus, to offer ...

Abstract: At 10:00 a.m. on December 30, 1919, about fifty Catholics—mostly priests, many of them educators—convened in “Parlor O” in Cleveland, Ohio’s magnificent 800-room Hollenden Hotel. The hotel was then hosting the annual meeting of the American Historical Association (AHA), the national-level professional organization of historians founded in 1884. Rev. Peter Keenan Guilday, age thirty-five, the energetic Church history professor at the nation’s pontifical institution for graduate studies, The Catholic University of America, had organized the meeting and invited attendees. He did so for the specific purpose of founding a national Catholic historical association. He recruited Rt. Rev. Thomas C. O’Reilly, vicar general ...

Abstract: The predestination controversy was one of the central theological disputes of the ninth century. It all started with the writings of Godescalc, a monk from Orbais, who preached double predestination: sive electorum ad requiem, sive reproborum ad mortem.1 The “Godescalc affair,” as Bernard Lavaud called it,2 involved, between 848 and 860, the most important scholars of the age, including Hrabanus Maurus, John Scottus Eriugena, Lupus of Ferrières, Florus of Lyon, but also the princes of the Church and of the world—chief among them the influential archbishop of Reims, Hincmar (806–882, r. 845–882), and King Charles the Bald (r. 840–877) himself. Between the first condemnation of Godescalc at the council of Mainz in ...

Abstract: How did Johannes Kepler handle Tycho Brahe’s “star size” argument against the Copernican hypothesis' This is the argument that said that the Copernican hypothesis required the stars to surpass greatly (to the point of absurdity, in Brahe’s opinion) the Sun in size. Christiaan Huygens called this Brahe’s “principal argument” against Copernicus.1 It was a key argument in the essay Msgr. Francesco Ingoli wrote to Galileo in 1616 shortly before the authorities in Rome rejected the Copernican hypothesis. We might expect that Kepler was able to demolish easily this argument. However, an examination of Kepler’s writings reveals that he simply accepted the substance of the argument. Indeed, Kepler argued for a ...

Abstract: The success of the American Revolutionary War dramatically changed the lives of Catholics in the thirteen colonies. Most Catholics supported independence and many died for the cause, transforming papists into patriots in the eyes of their fellow rebels.1 The ideals of the Revolution altered the American political landscape. The growth and acceptance of equality and individuality resulted in the emergence of a new religious tolerance that relieved Catholics of old legal restrictions and penalties from the colonial period. In 1791, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution granted minority faiths free practice of religion. In the founding years, America’s Catholics became “accustomed to the republican ...

Abstract: In the introduction to Latin Eugenics in Comparative Perspective (2014), authors Marius Turda and Aaron Gillette argue that, “The relationship between eugenics and religion is of crucial importance when examining Latin eugenics.”1 For them, one of the defining features of a eugenic movement that might be considered “Latin” is its ability to conceptually fit with the long-standing cultural influence of Catholicism in places such as southern Europe and Latin America.2 Indeed, they contend that Catholicism’s cultural influence served as both a means of identifying a biological, racialized Latin population and a corresponding, Latin intellectual and scientific network in the early twentieth century. Demonstrating ...

Abstract: Communities in Western Tanzania opposed missionaries’ quest for land to build schools and buildings for health services through the mid-twentieth century. This article explores how communities resisted the European missionaries’ control and supervision of ‘native’ cultural and social affairs. By showing people’s refusal to be removed from their land and their rejection of supervision in socio-cultural affairs, they influenced missionaries and imperial authority to act in the interests of the people. Some individuals refused eviction from their land and homesteads, while others left after thorough negotiations with missionaries and imperial authority on the one hand and between communities and ‘native’ authority on ...
