Full textThe purpose of this qualitative phenomenological research was to explore the influence of the Catholic Church teachings and culture on the recovery and healing of women survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA). This study intended to identify which attributes of Catholicism these survivors consider salient. Narratives of 8 women raised as Catholics who were abused sexually as children and experienced a minimum of two years of psychotherapy were collected in individual interviews and then analyzed.
A review of the vast array of studies on the long-term effects of CSA reveals numerous psychological, social, and behavioral difficulties in adults, ranging from poor self-esteem and depression to sexual disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Briere & Elliott, 2003; Kim, Talbot, & Cicchetti, 2009; Lemieux & Byers, 2008). The available literature rarely considers whether religious factors themselves play a role in the creation or maintenance of the difficulties from which these women later suffer. I speculated that the healing of the woman and her presenting problems are compounded when she is engaged in what may be called traditional psychotherapies. In addition to the tenacious suffering that may emerge during the psychotherapy process, the Catholic survivor may be struggling with issues such as the perpetual silence of the church, the belief that faith comes from the leaders of the institution, the idea that God cannot be separated from a sense of religion, and the need to first acknowledge sins before the Lord. The focus of this research was to explore the women's lived experiences of recovery within the broader context of Catholicism. To best support clients, it is essential to develop openness to cultural variability and an ability to reach clients within their own cultural frameworks. The current study forms part of a body of work on the developmental and cultural aspects of spirituality and their interaction with healing from trauma. A willingness to learn from the client about her experiences, coupled with professional training and consultation may facilitate improvement in clients who suffered trauma and for whom religion and spirituality have played an important role in their lives.

Full textThis research focused on women leadership within the Catholic Church and the women leaders’ perceptions of their leadership effectiveness. The problem is that there is a lack of research that investigated perceptions of women and leadership within the Catholic Church. The purpose of the phenomenological qualitative study was to explore how women perceive themselves as leaders in the Catholic Church of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and how they see others’ perceptions of them as leaders in the Catholic Church in the greater Los Angeles area. A qualitative methodology with a phenomenological research design was used because there was a need to explore the lived experiences of individuals to understand the phenomenon under investigation. The researcher addressed this purpose by conducting long interviews with 30 purposefully selected participants who currently work in ministry or administrative roles in the Catholic Church in the Los Angeles Archdiocese. The researcher used the feminist theory as a guide in conducting the data collection and analysis for the study. Analysis through the modified van Kaam method revealed themes of effectiveness, dedication, acceptance, servant leadership, calling, and a lack of resources. All participants reported perceiving gender-based barriers and a gender divide between them and male colleagues. Despite these obstacles, women accepted their roles as servants and leaders. Further study should be conducted to explore additional roles for women in the Church and to examine how gender-based obstacles and barriers might be effectively resolved both in the Los Angeles Archdiocese and elsewhere. Moreover, practical implication or recommendation for the study will be for the archdiocese to develop a formal mentorship program to prepare women to enter the leadership positions within the church. Also, the policy-based recommendation would be for representatives from the church, including women members, to write to the Archdiocese to promote awareness about the gender inequality that exists in the church leadership. These interactions with governing body of the church can help promote policy reforms to make leadership more accessible to women. Through policy reforms, women can be trained to be involved in tasks of high-level positions in the church.

Full textThis dissertation considers adolescent girls and what they need from an all-girls’ Catholic school that will prepare them, not just for college and career, but for life in a world that marginalizes girls and women. More than simply trying to make a case for single-sex schooling for girls, it suggests that the single-sex school is an important site for conversations about what it means for adolescent girls to be adolescent girls. This project names the patriarchal forces that marginalize girls and calls for a pedagogical approach that is rooted in the theological affirmation that adolescent girls are created in the image of God and called to exercise a prophetic imagination. Chapter one introduces the history of all-girls’ Catholic secondary schools, a history rooted in the story of women’s religious orders and the ministries of these women religious as educators at a time when the education of girls was not valued. Today’s all-girls’ Catholic schools are informed by this history and the Catholic Church’s commitment to honoring the dignity of each student, thus grounding a commitment to a caring and liberative educational approach. Chapter two argues that contemporary adolescent girls, including those who attend these all-girls’ Catholic secondary schools, are growing up in a cultural milieu that makes them vulnerable to the effects of the conflicting and impossible expectations to which girls and women are held. Chapter three investigates the imago Dei symbol as a theological foundation for fighting this toxic cultural milieu. Taking a cue from feminist theologians who have explored embodiment and relationality as central expressions of the imago Dei, this chapter proposes that creating communities of God’s hesed (loving-kindness) and resisting injustice are two ways that the imago Dei symbol can be expressed so as to best include adolescent girls. Chapter four suggests that, in order to realize this goal of affirming the imago Dei in adolescent girls by creating communities of God’s hesed and resistance to injustice, a feminist prophetic imagination is needed. Drawing on Walter Brueggemann’s identification of the prophetic imagination as the twinned process of denouncing the oppressive forces of the dominant culture and announcing a new and more just way of being in the world, it proposes a feminist prophetic imagination that engages in a feminist critique of the cultural milieu that girls experience and the construction of communities based in hesed and resistance to injustice. Chapter five takes up the pedagogical challenges of teaching with and for a feminist prophetic imagination. The liberative pedagogy of Paulo Freire and the caring pedagogy of Nel Noddings provide the resources for educating adolescent girls to participate in communities of God’s hesed and in practices of resistance to injustice. Chapter six returns to the concrete situation of all-girls’ Catholic secondary schools and imagines how these schools can speak to a commitment to educating for a feminist prophetic imagination in their mission and reflects on how a feminist prophetic imagination can be expressed and formalized in all Catholic schools

Full textDisertacijoje analizuojama Lietuvių katalikių moterų draugija jos ideologiniame kontekste. Nagrinėjama, kaip ši konservatyvi katalikiška draugija įtraukė eilines moteris į visuomeninį gyvenimą, padarydama jų ir jų bendruomenės gyvenimą įvairesnį, kartu sutankinant pilietinės visuomenės tinklą Lietuvoje. Šiandieninėje Lietuvoje, kai pilietinės visuomenės silpnumas aiškiai jaučiamas, yra aktualūs tarpukario visuomeninių organizacijų tyrinėjimai. Retos studijos, skirtos moterų istorijai Lietuvoje, paskatino imtis LKMD analizės. Pirmoje dalyje pristatomas feminizmo bei socialinės katalikybės atsiradimo Europoje kontekstas bei įtaka katalikių moterų judėjimui Lietuvoje. Antrojoje dalyje atsekamas draugijos įkūrimas, katalikių moterų pastangos įsitraukti į politinį gyvenimą, bendradarbiavimas su kitomis moterų organizacijomis. Trečioje dalyje analizuojama katalikių moterų spauda, susikoncentruojant į to meto moters vietos supratimą šeimoje, profesijoje bei visuomenėje. Paskutinėje, ketvirtoje, dalyje aptariamas praktinis organizacijos veikimas, atkreipiant dėmesį į organizacijos plėtrą, skyrių veiklą ir pastangas pagerinti moterų bei vaikų sveikatos priežiūrą. Katalikių atsargūs priminimai viešoje spaudoje apie moterų teisių suvaržymus, skurdo problemą liudijo, kad jos buvo aktyvios visuomeninių reiškinių stebėtojos. Pagaliau sąjungininkų ieškojimas katalikiškajai idėjai įgyvendinti ne vien tarp katalikų, bet ir tarp liberalių moterų rodė, kad katalikės, susiorganizavę į LKMD... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]

Amidst the racial animosity that characterized the nineteenth century, Katharine Drexel, the Philadelphia heiress, believed that education would be the equalizer between white and black America. Grounded in a strong sense of Catholic social justice, Drexel committed her fortune to providing educational opportunities that frequently eluded African Americans. She established a community of Roman Catholics nuns for that specific purpose. By combining their efforts to address the deficiencies in African American education, Drexel's religious congregation reflected the efforts of other nineteenth century groups of women who pooled their efforts to address social concerns of the larger American society.

Full textThis dissertation presents Lithuanian Catholic Women’s Organization (LKMD) in its ideological context, discussing how this organization involved unsophisticated women in society, enriching their lives and that of their communities while expanding civic involvement in Lithuania. As the limitations of Civil Society are still felt in Lithuania, it is worth paying attention to interwar public organizations in search of civil society structures during modern Lithuania’s first independence. The work was motivated by the rarity of studies on Lithuanian women’s activities. The first chapter features the emergence of feminism and Catholic social thought in Europe and their influence on ideas of Lithuanian Catholics. The second chapter covers the establishment of LKMD, Catholic women’s engagement in political life of independent Lithuania and cooperation with other organizations. The third chapter contains an analysis of how women’s role in their families, profession and society were understood in the Catholic women’s press. The fourth chapter investigates activities of LKMD, the development of its branch network, festivals and provision of care institutions. Catholic women’s social engagement shows an understanding of the necessity of civic activity in support of civil society. Raising attention, however cautious, to discrimination and women’s susceptibility to poverty highlights an awareness of pressures in society. Looking for cooperation not only with Catholic but also with liberal... [to full text]

Full textWomen Religious founded more than half of the current two hundred and sixty institutions of Catholic higher education in the United States. Rooted in a distinct mission to women’s education in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, these colleges and universities have demonstrated a strong commitment to educate the politically, economically, educationally, and ecclesially marginalized, with particular emphasis on the empowerment of women. For nearly a century, these colleges and universities have creatively adapted to various changes in the educational and cultural landscape and have navigated and negotiated the complex relationships between the Church, the university, and the larger U.S. society. Ironically, their experiences and stories remain widely unknown compared to those of similar institutions founded by and for men. Using a historical and theological lens, this dissertation demonstrates how the deep stories that sustained the life and identity of many Women Religious in the United States inspired the foundation of colleges and universities that distinctively saw these stories in unique ways. In doing so, they modeled new and creative ways of education women, and others, that remain to be genuinely studied and incorporated into the larger narrative of U.S. Catholic higher education. At a time of major cultural, demographic, and ecclesial transitions, this dissertation proposes ways for those deep stories to continue to give life, even in the absence of the women who embodied them. It does so by focusing primarily on the example of the Sisters of Mercy and one of their universities. This work proposes practical approaches for leaders in Catholic higher education to embrace the deep stories grounding their institutions in order to cultivate practices and commitments that prophetically advance the identity and mission of their institutions in the twenty-first century
