Guidelines Concerning The Academic Mandatum In Catholic Universities (Canon 812), United States Conference Of Catholic Bis

Journal of Catholic Education

Recommended procedures for granting, withholding, or withdrawing the mandatum required for Catholics who teach theological disciplines in the U.S. Catholic colleges and universities were approved June 15 by a voice vote of the U.S. bishops during the spring meeting in Atlanta. The mandatum was called for in a bishops’ document (Origins, Vol. 30, pp. 65ff) applying Pope John Paul II’s 1990 apostolic constitution on Catholic higher education, Ex Corde Ecclesiae (Vol. 20, pp. 265ff), in the United States. The June 15 text says that its “guidelines are intended to explain and serve as a resource for the conferral of the …

Embryonic Stem Cell Research As An Ethical Issue: On The Emptiness Of Symbolic Value, Kevin Quinn

Faculty Publications

The ability to generate a wide variety of stem cell lines (in relatively renewable tissue cultures) opens up a whole new world of breathtaking possibilities for science and medicine. The possibilities include: "in vitro studies of normal embryo-genesis, human gene discovery, and drug and teratogen testing and as a renewable source of cells for tissue transplantation, cell replacement, and gene therapies." But it also opens up a world of complications.

Human EG and ES cells must be recovered from aborted fetuses or live embryos. Because primordial gonadal tissue is removed from fetuses after their death, the derivation of EO cells …

Recruitment, Preparation, And Retention Of Catholic High School Religion Teachers, Timothy J. Cook

Journal of Catholic Education

In September 2000, this journal announced an important national study, funded by grants from the Lilly Endowment, the Knights of Columbus McGivney Fund, and the Chief Administrators of Catholic Education, on the impending shortage of religion teachers in Catholic high schools. This article reports the findings of that study in three important areas: recruitment, preparation, and retention. The study summarizes the results of surveys to nearly 200 Catholic high schools and 1000 religion teachers throughout the United States. Extensive recommendations are offered for each area studied, with a view to securing a stable future pool of highly qualified high school …

Feminist Christian Bioethics : The Theology Of Rosemary Ruether In Bioethical Conversation, Mary Caldwell

Masters Theses

The purpose of this project is to explore feminist Christian bioethics. There has been, in recent decades, a notable decrease in a theological voice in bioethical conversation. Noting that many patients, as well as health care professionals, are people of faith, and acknowledging that faith matters in ethical decision-making, the absence of attention to this important dimension of the moral lives of persons is an injustice. While there is a body of Christian bioethical literature, much of it is centered in one particular theological perspective.

I have examined the theology of a feminist Christian, Rosemary Ruether and extrapolated from her …

The Economic Agenda Of Catholic Social Teaching: The Framework For A Normative Social Theory, Michael D. Russell

Major Themes in Economics

The Catholic Church has developed a position on socio-economic issues during the past one hundred years as detailed in economically-minded papal encyclicals and related church documents. Included are several criteria that provide a framework for evaluating areas of economic policy. The Church’s mission has been to develop a normative social theory capable of integrating both theology and economic theory. The body of literature addressing the Church’s approach to socio-economic issues is known as Catholic Social Teaching, or CST. I will use CST to describe the Catholic platform of normative economic justice, its justification of social theory, and the potential economic …

The Catholic Secondary School Climate: Forming A Culture Of Nonviolence And Healthy Relatedness, Sharon M. Homan, Stephanie Starkloff Morgan, Mary Domahidy, Kenneth B. Homan, Joleene Unnerstall, Rachel H. Fisher

Journal of Catholic Education

In The Catholic School on the Threshold of the Third Millennium, the Congregation for Catholic Education (1998) suggests that the foremost challenge to third millennium education is a “crisis of values” that assumes the form of moral relativism, subjectivism, and nihilism. Teen violence, disengagement with others, power games, date rape, and other forms of unhealthy sexual relationships are manifestations of this crisis. One of the characteristics of the Catholic school that enables it to respond is the climate of the educating community. The Congregation states, “The educating community, taken as a whole, is”¦called to further the objective of a school …

Blessed Mother Theodore Guerin, Bishop Celestine De La Hailandière, And Their Seven-Year Time Of Trials," 1840-1847 ", Rosemary K. Halter

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Blessed Mother Theodore (b. Anne-Therese) Guerin founded the Sisters of Providence of St. Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana. She was beatified by the Catholic Church on 28 October 1998. Celestine de la Hailandiere was the second bishop of Vincennes, Indiana. The “time of trials” is a period of disputes and misunderstandings between the two which lasted from 1840 to 1847. It culminated with Mother Theodore locked in a parlor, excommunicated, and expelled from the diocese, and with Bishop Hailandiere resigning from the episcopacy. The purpose of the study is threefold: to promulgate the life story of Mother Theodore; to examine her spirituality; and …
