The Era Of Boundlessness At St. Mary’S Of The Barrens, 1818-1843: A Brief Historical Analysis, Richard J. Janet Ph.D. Nov 2012

The Era Of Boundlessness At St. Mary’S Of The Barrens, 1818-1843: A Brief Historical Analysis, Richard J. Janet Ph.D.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

Richard Janet analyzes the early history of Saint Mary’s of the Barrens according to the historian Philip Gleason’s view of the development of American Catholicism. Gleason sees the arc of American Catholicism as moving from a period of “boundlessness,” in which institutions engaged in all types of works, to the mid-nineteenth-century period of “consolidation,” in which leaders tried to manage growth in a way that would stabilize those institutions. Gleason’s thesis is discussed in detail. The work of Felix De Andreis, Joseph Rosati, and John Timon is examined. They faced many problems inherent in maintaining a Vincentian community while ministering …


Jean-Baptiste Étienne, C.M. And The Restoration Of The Daughters Of Charity, Edward R. Udovic C.M., Ph.D. Nov 2012

Jean-Baptiste Étienne, C.M. And The Restoration Of The Daughters Of Charity, Edward R. Udovic C.M., Ph.D.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

The nineteenth-century superior general Jean-Baptiste Etienne has often been given the title of “Second Founder” of the Congregation and the Daughters of Charity. Edward Udovic argues that this title is deserved, not because of any similarity to Vincent de Paul, but because of Etienne’s faithfulness to the communities’ primitive spirit. Etienne made that the guiding principle of the communities’ re-establishment. Etienne’s background, experience, agenda for restoration and reform, and worldview are all examined. According to Udovic, Etienne and his leadership are best described as “Vincentian-centric, Romantic, Gallican, and authoritarian.” A French nationalist and imperialist, he was particularly concerned with remaining …

Nature Is Prior To Us: Applying Catholic Social Thought And Anabaptist-Mennonite Theology To The Ethics Of Stakeholder Prioritization For The Natural Environment, Cathy A. Driscoll, Elden Wiebe, Bruno Dyck Jul 2012

Nature Is Prior To Us: Applying Catholic Social Thought And Anabaptist-Mennonite Theology To The Ethics Of Stakeholder Prioritization For The Natural Environment, Cathy A. Driscoll, Elden Wiebe, Bruno Dyck

Journal of Religion and Business Ethics

We develop a spiritual and ethical based understanding of stakeholder theory that treats the natural environment as a primary stakeholder. We consider how Catholic social thought and Anabaptist-Mennonite theology can be seen as important resources for stakeholder thought and management, especially as they pertain to the natural environment as a primary stakeholder. We provide a discussion and implications for academics and practitioners in terms of dignifying both ecology and humanity, and creating solidarity between them. We also discuss how managers can become more attuned to the environment as a primary stakeholder through the development of relationships with the land and …

Demographics Of Entrants: Sisters Of Charity Of St. Joseph’S, 1809–1849 And Daughters Of Charity, Province Of The United States, 1850–1909, Betty Ann Mcneil D.C.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

A project began in 2002 to develop a database tracking all the admissions to the Sisters of Charity of Saint Joseph’s (1809–1849) and the Daughters of Charity (1850–1909) in the United States. This article explains how the project was conducted, what sources were used, and what the study’s major findings were. The database encompassed many different demographics: family backgrounds, birthplaces, and age of entrants, their marital and/or convert status, their years of entrance, and whether they had relatives in the community. Military service, withdrawals, transfers, separations, and burial places were also tracked.


Pioneer And Prophet: Frédéric Ozanam’S Influence On Modern Catholic Social Theory, Thomas W. O'Brien Apr 2012

Pioneer And Prophet: Frédéric Ozanam’S Influence On Modern Catholic Social Theory, Thomas W. O'Brien

Vincentian Heritage Journal

Thomas O’Brien provides a “contextual theological analysis of some key elements of [Frederic] Ozanam’s beliefs and practices, especially as these influence the birth of Catholic social theory and its subsequent developments.” O’Brien addresses Ozanam’s advocacy of direct service to the poor as part of discipleship for all Christians (part of what is known today as the option for the poor). The formation of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul was both conservative because it continued the Church’s tradition of charity and radical because it organized laypeople and allowed them positions of leadership hitherto reserved for priests and religious. Ozanam …
