Abstract (sommario):

Catholics is an artist's book, a limited-edition memoir that makes use of text, image, and tactility. It relates the author's Catholic upbringing as it interweaves several themes: Church history, pre-Christian mythology, and the places where such spiritualities resonate with twentieth-century pop culture.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis seeks to examine the relationship between the religious and the secular as it pertains to Australian Catholics. The main line of enquiry takes the form of investigating the proposition that sociological approaches to religion that are based on the assumption of secular-religious dualism cannot adequately account for the way practising Australian Catholics live and hold their faith. The central theoretical concern of the thesis relates to the sociological construction of the religious and the secular as derived from a “this world-other world” dichotomy. The classical sociological argument that rationalism underpins the binary distinction between “this world” and the “other world” is challenged in terms of its applicability to Catholicism. Any assumption that a religious sensibility precludes rationality is also challenged. The thesis adopts the perspective of symbolic rationality which is regarded as inclusive of instrumental rationality. From this perspective, there is exploration of the extent to which the Catholic incarnational symbol system can accommodate both this-worldly and other-worldly tendencies. More specifically, there is examination of the proposition that a sacramental sensibility can be associated with the co-existence of apparent opposites – faith / reason, grace / nature, transcendence / immanence. The thesis propositions are tested by analysis of data from the 1996 Catholic Church Life Survey and the 2001 National Church Life Survey. The findings indicate that, for Australian Catholics, orthodoxy of belief is compatible with a sense of paradox and contextuality. Australian Catholics are found to have a tendency to engage humanity in both its “grace” and its “sin”. There is no evidence to support any hypothesis of mutual exclusiveness between Catholic religious commitment and openness to the wider “secular” society. Indeed, it is found that Catholic openness to the “secular” appears to be associated with openness to the “Other” – a central element of the “Catholic ethic”. Catholicism is presented as an organic religion that has the capacity to engage the multiplicities of the socio-cultural environment. Moreover, it is argued that the organic nature of Catholic engagement in secular society can be inclusive of engagement at the structural level of society. Overall, it is argued that many practising Australian Catholics have the ability to hold apparent opposites together and that the classical sociological construction of the religious and the secular in terms of dichotomy does not fit the reality of their lived faith. The thesis concludes that, in the case of Australian Catholics, there is an overarching organic relationship between the religious and the secular that can be inclusive of instrumental relationships on the institutional level.

Abstract (sommario):

The aim of this thesis is to ascertain the extent and nature of belonging to the Australian Catholic Church as experienced by immigrants. This experience of belonging was ascertained through the quantitative study of the National Church Life Survey of 2001 and to a lesser extent the Catholic Church Life Survey of 1996. Both surveys were conducted with attenders at a particular Sunday Eucharist and hence measured the experiences only of Catholics who attend Church. This quantitative study was complemented with a qualitative study of a small group of Vietnamese Catholics who were members of a particular parish. The importance of belonging to a religious tradition is that it provides an aspect of an individual's identity. Identity is many-faceted and formed and reformed in the context of belonging, whether that belonging is to people such as family or to groups of people such as fellow members of a religious tradition. In the process of migration and settlement, the set of primary groups to which an individual belongs is at best disrupted and at worst, lost. Belonging to a religious tradition may provide a constancy of belonging in the immigrant's life when all other aspects of belonging are being renegotiated during settlement in the host country. In the case of the Catholic Church in Australia, there has been some debate about whether or not the Church has been welcoming of immigrants but little testing of immigrants' experience of being welcomed and enabled to belong to the Church. The National Church Life Survey provided a unique opportunity to examine the extent and nature of belonging as experienced by immigrant Catholics. Since all respondents to the survey were asked their birthplace, comparisons could readily be made between the experiences of Australian-born Catholics and those Catholics who were born elsewhere.;Since nearly 3,000 respondents completed surveys in Italian or Vietnamese, comparisons could also be made between these respondents and those who responded to the survey in English. Finally, comparisons were made between the small group of Vietnamese parishioners who engaged in the qualitative research, and other groups of Catholics. The comparisons were made between all the groups on the issue of belonging. In the survey there was a particular question that asked respondents about their experience of belonging, but there were other questions that indicated the nature of belonging of respondents, and these were used in the analysis. The results of the analyses show that on almost all measures, immigrants belong to the Church to a greater extent than Australian-born Catholics. Immigrants attend Sunday Eucharist in greater proportion than Australian born Catholics. Immigrant Catholics participated more in devotional activities, they reported a greater degree of satisfaction with their faith life and they hold more orthodox beliefs than Australian-born Catholics. However, they did participate less in parish roles and groups than did the Australian-born Catholics. Whilst it may be concluded that this participation is limited because of the barrier of language, the results of this research indicate that this is not the only barrier to participation. Even those immigrants who responded to the English language survey did not participate in parish roles and groups to the extent that Australian-born Catholics did. Further research may be able to ascertain whether cultural barriers outside the scope of this work determine the level of participation of immigrants. This research concludes that since the Second World War, Catholic immigrants have 'done the work' of belonging to the Australian Catholic Church. They have done this despite the 'benign neglect' of the Church itself and they represent in fact the Church's 'most Catholic' members.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation examines the Catholic community of Warwickshire during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558--?1603). While local studies of post—Reformation Catholics have been attempted in other English counties, no substantial body of work has been produced for Warwickshire. The research therefore draws heavily on both the primary sources for Warwickshire and the more general secondary works on post--?Reformation Catholicism. The approach has been to identify the Catholics and recusants through the primary sources, such as recusant rolls, commissioners’ reports and State Papers, and endeavour to understand the causes and consequences of recusancy and how this affected the identity of the Catholic individual and community. The principal findings and discoveries demonstrate that the Catholic community of Warwickshire was, in general, detached from its medieval predecessor. Unable to worship freely, they resorted to clandestine and surreptitious practices and proved to be eclectic and fluid with regard to religious doctrine when the occasion demanded. After heightened persecution in the 1580s, the steadfast members of the community tried to avoid detection through several means, including church papism, frequently moving between parishes or counties, and the (often false) promise of conformity when caught. This dissertation is arranged into six thematic chapters. This method allowed several key aspects of the continuation of Catholicism in Warwickshire to be analysed separately. Chapter 1 introduces the themes explored in the dissertation. Chapter 2 examines the geographical features of Warwickshire and its jurisdictional subdivision and argues that these features protected pockets of Catholic communities from close supervision by the state and church. Chapter 3 investigates the clergy within the county and their effect on Catholics and recusants. The higher and lower reformed clergy, the remaining Marian priests and the missionaries who came to England from 1574 onwards are considered. Chapter 4 looks at the members of the Catholic community themselves, focusing on the gentry and non-gentry. Chapter 5 focuses on the government’s use of monetary fines to deter conservatives from recusancy from 1581 onwards. The reasons for Catholics to choose either recusancy or church papism over conformity are complex and, in the face of fierce persecution, at times inexplicable. Chapter 6 considers the themes of persecution and toleration within the county, and analyses in detail the circumstances of the Somerville Plot of 1583. The understanding of such a community, combined with a comparative analysis of Catholic communities in other counties, offers an original contribution to the study of post-Reformation England.

Abstract (sommario):

This study investigates the place of students who are not Catholics in Catholic schools in Australia and, in particular, in Queensland. It does so primarily through a re-‐examination of history and through an analysis of relevant educational, ecclesial and theoretical documents. It begins with the origins – both mythological and historical -‐ of Catholic schools in Australia and traces the place of non-‐Catholic students in Catholic schools through the lens of the Second Vatican Council, the documents of the Congregation for Catholic Education and Australian episcopal documentation about Catholic schooling.

Abstract (sommario):

In 1940 the French Catholic Church was quick to blame military defeat on the laicism of the Third Republic. However, the Church was confident that it could rectify the errors of the past. The new authoritarian regime at Vichy offered the possibility of overturning the past sixty years of secularism and of rebuilding France along Christian lines. This thesis examines how the Church attempted to win France back to the faith through the vehicle of education. It shows how it hoped to strengthen the position of its own educational system and how it tried to re-assert its influence over children in the State school. The study is divided into four parts. The first looks at the role education played in Church/State relations and puts into context events treated in more detail later. The second part examines the curriculum of confessional schools and the ways by which the Church attempted to influence the lessons of the State school. Part three looks at teachers and pays particular attention to the teaching orders. Although they recovered much of their former legal status under Vichy, they never became fully-fledged supporters of the regime. In addition, the thesis looks at how the Church tried to break the traditional secularism of the State 'instituteurs'. Part four investigates the funding of Catholic education. It examines the measures that Vichy took to alleviate the material plight of Catholic schools and illustrates how State subsidies contributed to the growth of Catholic education. Analysis of Vichy's educational policy reveals that the regime was less clerical than has previously been recognised. This study alsoconcludes that the Church was not an unqualified supporter of the regime and that Catholics began to have their doubts about Vichy far earlier than has sometimes been suggested.

Abstract (sommario):

In this ethnographic study, I explore the ways, in which the engagement of Polish Catholics with Swedish society generates both adaptation and resistance. The thesis begins with an overview of the history of the Swedish Catholic Church and notes how Poles became one of the most numerous immigrant groups in Sweden during past decades. I then make use of fifteen in-depth interviews along with more than twenty sessions of observation in a Polish milieu in the Mälaren Valley. Polish Catholics often consider themselves, as one put it, as "weird creatures" in Sweden, not only for being a religious minority, but also due to conflicts between Catholic moral teachings and prevailing modern liberal views in Swedish society. Also, interviewees tend to blame Sweden for weakening the religiosity of their compatriots. Catholicism often presents particular challenges for the adaptation and integration of Poles, especially teenagers, who are, as one out it, seen "like freaks here". Also notable is the controversial stance of parishioners and the clergy on gender questions. While many laity see feminism as a threat, some priests assert that "feminism and Catholicism have so much in common". Among other challenges for the religious life of Poles in Sweden are consumerism, which leads to the formulation "prosperity destroys people" and is seen as a competitor to the church; and the Swedish language, which divides first and second generations. Interviewees also express shared interests with Muslims and solidarity with Orthodox Christians.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this study was to investigate how young Catholics came to faith and why they continued to practise their Catholic faith, despite falling Mass attendance generally. The study used a qualitative methodology to examine the faith development of twenty-three young Catholic adults aged twenty-one to forty years from six dioceses in Australia. The research found there were seven main factors that influenced the faith development of these young Catholics; a. faith based family,b. well run retreats and events like World Youth Day, c. welcoming and faithful parishes, d. regular prayer, e. spiritual music, f. faith education, and g. spiritual mentors. The principal factor in this process of faith development was the influence of highly committed and practising Catholic parents, both of whom gave the same religious message to their children. Parents who provided a stable home for their children AND socialised their children into the Catholic faith had faith-filled children in this cohort. Socialising children into the faith involved family prayer, talking to children regularly about matters of faith, being involved themselves in the life of the parish, and taking their children to Mass and reconciliation. Well run retreats and events like World Youth Day were extremely important for faith development because they met like minded Catholics, enjoyed good music, and received good catechesis relevant to their lives. All of which had occurred in an enjoyable environment. Faith filled communities where the young person attended Mass and received the Eucharist provided a spiritual base where they felt welcome and comfortable. Regular prayer was shown to be important for both the development and maintenance of faith. These young adults revealed an eclectic choice of prayer as did their spiritual music preferences. Listening to spiritual music lifted their spirit toward contemplation. Formal faith education assisted in the development of faith and helped young people to accept and personalise what they had been taught as children. Participants in the study who had experienced the influence of a spiritual mentor found that the spiritual mentor had helped them to discover new and relevant ways of being a practising Christian and approaching life. The research also discovered that being Catholic was intrinsic to the identity of these young adults.

Abstract (sommario):

The Catholic community of post-Settlement England relied upon devotional literature to sustain the faith of individuals who were generally deprived of the sacraments and contact with Catholic clergy. Increasingly, these books were used not only to promote Catholic spirituality, but to encourage greater fidelity and loyalty to the Catholic church. The genre is represented by texts which vary greatly and which accommodated a wide and disparate audience with different devotional requirements and even with varying degrees of attachment to the Catholic faith. The period was one of tremendous religious literary activity on the Continent and those who were involved in the production and distribution of Catholic literature drew heavily upon the spiritual books which were issuing in such great numbers from the commercial presses in France and the Netherlands. Translating the devotional works of the spiritual masters of the day proved to be a tremendously effective way of providing English readers with books of orthodox devotion, while at the same time drawing the isolated community into the wider world of Catholic renewal. Providing Catholic devotional texts to a persecuted audience under tremendous pressure to conform very often drew that audience into the fray of controversy and the quarrel of religious disputation. The line between devotion and controversy was thin and often crossed, and devotional books were frequently used as a method of promoting not only Catholic spirituality, but Catholic loyalty as well. Thus, these books, like other devotional artefacts, were considered dangerous to the religious - and political - stability of England. In the contemporary situation these devotional books were clearly regarded as effective tools for maintaining Catholicism in England, both by those who produced them and by those who sought to destroy them. The study of these books can help us to appreciate that important role and the place of devotional literature in the wider context of confessional conflict.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis examines data from the National Election Studies in order to assess the significant determinants of the political behavior of Catholics in the American electorate. A complex array of variables including religious commitment, generational differences, social status, and policy attitudes account for limited change in partisan alignment among American Catholics. The analyses expose the long-term, durable nature of partisan attachment, as older generation Catholics who register as actively committed to their religion also remain committed Democrats. Therefore, older Catholics have not been part of the broader ideological realignment which has taken place among other religious adherents, namely evangelical and mainline Protestants. Younger Catholics are significantly more apt to become Republican in their partisan identification than were their parents.Comparing the effects of an array of policy attitudes and socio-demographic variables between Catholic and Protestants illuminates the differences and similarities among these religious groups. What emerges is a consistent pattern demonstrating an ideological realignment within the American electorate. This research adds to the ideological realignment thesis by showing how religious commitment is the driving force behind this realignment. In addition, this thesis presents evidence illustrating that younger Catholics and committed Catholics will continue to move toward Republican partisan identification and that the traditional allegiance of Catholic voters to the Democratic party will continue to decline.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis explores how Parliament’s policy towards English Catholics changed during the English Revolution by examining their experiences of the sequestration and compounding system. Before 1642, sequestration and compounding had been used as a penalty against recusants to raise revenue for Charles I’s Personal Rule for nonchurch attendance. Parliament intended the new sequestration process to be a temporary solution as a consequence of the war, and originally targeted both religious and political enemies. By 1650, sequestration was used by Parliament as a method to punish political enemies, and throughout the Interregnum, Parliament continued to adapt the legislation as a consequence of the current political environment. Petitioners needed to equip themselves with information on how to compound for their estates. Catholic petitioners had to establish how they were to encounter the new legislation, and most crucially, provide substantial evidence to successfully compound for their estates. It is shown that Catholics were able to access guidance on how to manoeuvre themselves through the sequestration and compounding process through official and popular printed material, which influenced the tactics they used in their compounding petitions. Catholics actively sought to have their sequestration discharged by providing evidence of their loyalty to Parliament and to their country. Crucially, Catholic petitioners were able to utilise their networks with influential Protestants who had wider political connections. Through these networks, it is revealed that moderate politicians were conciliatory towards Catholics of social privilege, and, that Catholics were integrated with Protestants throughout this period. This thesis, therefore, establishes that English Catholics were not the primary focus of sequestration during the English Revolution, and, in fact, were able to integrate and play a part of local and national society.

Abstract (sommario):

From the mid-seventeenth century to the mid-nineteenth century, the English Catholic community showed its robustness, resilience and complexity through its own periodical press. The subject, however, has been relatively neglected, specialist research amounts only to a bare handful of studies, and a full and definitive study which exploits the wealth of available materials has not yet been written. This thesis is therefore intended to present what has long been overdue, the first full chronological account of the foundation and development of the English Catholic periodical press from the Mercurius Catholicus to the Dublin Review. The work also serves specifically as a balance to Susan J. Acheson who argued in 1981, in her Oxford M.Litt. thesis on Victorian Catholic journalism, that the Emancipation Act of 1829 was the single most important influence on the Catholic periodical press in England. Against Acheson, my study shows that the Catholic periodical press did not owe its life to one major event early in the nineteenth century, but was rather the result of the religio-political activity which accompanied a long and difficult struggle for relief measures begun nearly two hundred years before. In describing the attempts by Catholics, often in difficult conditions and hostile circumstances, to develop a regular literary means of representing , and defending themselves, my thesis does not avoid the fact that the periodicals were often sustained and made exciting by internecine quarrels and struggles. Indeed, it concentrates on the tension between two groups of Catholics, about whether to stress division from or similarity with a Protestant state and society, which marked the early history of the English Catholic periodical press, and concludes that the final victory belonged to the party which emphasised distinctiveness over eirenicism.

Abstract (sommario):

This research explores the creation and maintenance of young Catholic identity in Northern Ireland. It examines the influence of segregation and deprivation on identity, seeks evidence of change and continuity and the capacity for young people to contribute to peacebuilding and social change. Taking into account that identity is not created within fixed spaces, but is subject to change in location and over time, a multi-sited ethnographic research design was employed across locations in Belfast and Derry. These included Catholic majority/minority and mixed spaces. We find that segregation has an impact on identity content; in single-identity areas we find exclusive identities based on opposition. In shared spaces we find that identities can be inclusive. In addition, we find that performance of identity ranges from strong to low, given quality of intergroup contact. Deprivation had an impact on the strengths of these performances rather than the content (exclusive/inclusive) of identity. In conclusion identity in young people can operate along a continuum, with differing levels of content and performance where identity is subject to change within spaces and movement between locations. Therefore divisive identities are not inevitable; given the right circumstances and support, social cohesion can flourish in a divided society.

Abstract (sommario):

The tension between indigenous African cultures and religions on the one hand, and Christian Churches on the other, is a well known fact that has been addressed by all concerned but still not resolved. From the point of view of the Africans, the history of the Christian missions is filled with misunderstandings and a lack of sensitivity on the part of the Churches. The African Synod of Bishops held in Rome in April 1994, is only the latest example of the problems surrounding the Church's attitude towards African Christians. From a personal experience of the tension between indigenous African cultures and religions, the author analyses the situation of the Dagaaba Catholics as it exists and lays out the tools that can be used to come to a mutually acceptable solution. In the light of the ongoing modifications in the process of evangelization, the thesis explores the interaction between Catholic missionaries and the Dagaaba of Upper West Ghana from the beginning of the Christian mission to today. The area chosen for this study is ancestor veneration as it was and is practised by the Dagaaba. The discussion of the Dagaaba's beliefs and practices related to their ancestors showed, on the other hand, the centrality of the latter in the life of the Dagaaba, and on the other, important similarities with Christian attitudes towards the saints. Both Dagaaba ancestors and Christian saints are community heroes that were "sanctifed" by the group from which they hailed. They are models for the members of the respective communities. The images of the ancestors and saints are meant to establish a lasting memory of the heroes and make them ever-present. Both the Dagaaba sculptures and their ancestors and the statues of Christian saints are placed in locations where they are easily accessible, i.e., either the house or the church. As a result of the analysis the author confidently states that the integration of Dagaaba ancestor veneration with the Christian cult of the saints would be a vital step towards inculturation. If the Church were to allow the ancestors to play the role which in Christianity traditionally is played by the saints, Dagaaba Christians would become fully Christian and at the same time they would not feel that they have to abandon their African roots. The elements that play a vital part here are the naming of children after Dagaaba ancestors rather than European saints to whom the African have no relationship; the saying of prayers that include the ancestors; the celebration of the Eucharist in the consciousness that living and dead form the community of the faithful; and the performing of family rituals that involve past and present members. Together, clergy and lay persons must embark on the road towards inculturation. The process itself must be informed by thorough research into the genuine meaning of the beliefs and practices of Africans in view of the teachings of Christianity.
