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.
Bernard Maclaverty: A Novelist With A Catholic Sensibiliy., Eamon Maher
Bernard Maclaverty: A Novelist With A Catholic Sensibiliy., Eamon Maher
Articles
Like many others I would imagine, my first introduction to the work of the Belfast writer Bernard MacLaverty (born in 1942) was through the successful film adaptations of his first novel, Lamb, with Liam Neeson in the main role, and the highly successful ‘Troubles’ film, Cal, based on the novel of the same name. Nominated for several prestigious literary awards, a member of Aosdána, author of numerous well-regarded novels and short story collections, MacLaverty is nevertheless largely neglected in terms of the critical attention he has attracted. The shining exceptions are the essay collection, About Bernard MacLaverty: New …

Mary Tudor: A Catholic Leader In A Protestant State, Braeden Glancy
Spring Presentation of Undergraduate Research
While Mary I faced many challenges during her reign, the most critical were her marriage to Philip of Spain, the attempted amalgamation of church and state through indoctrination of the Protestant clergy, and the rebellions and executions of Protestants in England which all culminated into denominational conflict throughout England.
The Divinity That Shapes Our Ends: Theological Conundrums And Religious Scepticism In Hamlet, Kyler Merrill
The Divinity That Shapes Our Ends: Theological Conundrums And Religious Scepticism In Hamlet, Kyler Merrill
Student Works
This paper proposes that Shakespeare deliberately incorporated speculative theology into Hamlet to stimulate religious scepticism. It explores the troubling implications of the ghost’s behaviour, cinematic adaptations of the murder testimony, and the characters’ moral failings in the purportedly Catholic cosmos of Elsinore.

A Catholic Has No Allies, Eamon Maher
A Catholic Has No Allies, Eamon Maher
Articles
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 …
