Jean Sulivan: Prophetic Voice With An Important Message For The Irish Church, Eamon Maher
Jean Sulivan: Prophetic Voice With An Important Message For The Irish Church, Eamon Maher
Articles
The French priest writer Jean Sulivan (1913-1980), whose real name was Joseph Lemarchand, was born in the small village of Montauban-de-Bretagne. He lost his father in the trenches of the Great War, an event that led to the remarriage of his mother out of financial necessity and which came as a serious blow to her young son. He could never fully accept the presence of his step-father in the house even though he knew his mother had had no option other than to remarry if she wanted to hold on to the small farm she rented from a local doctor. …
What Is The Role Of Faith In Our Politics?, Eamon Maher
What Is The Role Of Faith In Our Politics?, Eamon Maher
Articles
Forty years ago this month, Pope John Paul II came to Ireland. I was just beginning my last year in school at Saint Columb's College, Derry. It was a tense time. In the three months leading up to the pope's visit, 36 people were killed in the Troubles - including 16 Catholic and Protestant civilians. In 1979 I went to see the Pope at Drogheda and subconsciously I think his words on that occasion have possibly framed much of my thinking about this evening's theme - the role of faith in our politics.

Dimensionality And Factorial Invariance Of Religiosity Among Christians And The Religiously Unaffiliated: A Cross-Cultural Analysis Based On The International Social Survey Programme, Carlos Miguel Lemos, Ross Joseph Gore, Ivan Puga-Gonzalez, F. Leron Shults

We present a study of the dimensionality and factorial invariance of religiosity for 26 countries with a Christian heritage, based on the 1998 and 2008 rounds of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) Religion survey, using both exploratory and multi-group confirmatory factor analyses. The results of the exploratory factor analysis showed that three factors, common to Christian and religiously unaffiliated respondents, could be extracted from our initially selected items and suggested the testing of four different three-factor models using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis. For the model with the best fit and measurement invariance properties, we labeled the three resulting factors …

FRENCH literature of the twentieth century was blessed by the r work of writers who were explicitly Catholic while also adorning the cuIturallife of their country. Anew collection by the French Dominican publishing house, Editions du Cerf, of the epistolary correspondence between four of France's best known Catholic literati - Georges Bernanos, Paul Claudel, Francois Mauriac and Jacques Maritain - reveals serious rifts and, at times, a definite lack ofChristian charity in the sentiments these men shared with one another.1 The correspondence centres on Maritain's exchanges with the other three, which is most probably due to the fact that he …
