Examining The Relationship Between Educational Technology And Morality: A Case Study Of An American Catholic Middle School, Joe Daccache

LMU Theses and Dissertations

The growing interest in educational technology is matched by a corresponding increase in concern about its effects on children and adolescents. With demand for implementing technology on one hand, and the moral consequences that could result from it on the other hand, integrating a one-to-one computing program (1:1 program) in Catholic schools remains a subject in need of more thorough study. This study sought to examine the various advantages, challenges, and ethical questions related to implementing the 1:1 program in a Catholic middle school. While several studies demonstrate the positive impact of 1:1 program on students’ engagement and academic achievement, …

St Thomas Aquinas On Affectivity: A Way Forward For Seminary Formation, Bernard Gordon

Theses

St Thomas Aquinas on Affectivity: A Way Forward for Seminary Formation, is a theological argument that St Thomas’ teaching can be applied to the affective formation of men preparing to be Catholic priests. St Thomas’ teaching provides a very helpful understanding of affective maturity and its integral importance for a truly Christian and priestly life in the service of others. It flows from a theological anthropology that recognizes proper affective growth as an integral part of human life and interpersonal relationships. Affective maturity is an essential attribute for the seminarian to acquire because he is preparing to be a priest …

Catholic Social Teaching: A Volume Of Scholarly Essays, Gerard V. Bradley

Books

Gerard V. Bradley and E. Christian Brugger eds.Catholic social teaching (CST) refers to the corpus of authoritative ecclesiastical teaching, usually in the form of papal encyclicals, on social matters, beginning with Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum (1891) and running through Pope Francis. CST is not a social science and its texts are not pragmatic primers for social activists. It is a normative exercise of Church teaching, a kind of comprehensive applied - although far from systematic - social moral theology. This volume is a scholarly engagement with this 130-year-old documentary tradition. Its twenty-three essays aim to provide a constructive, …

The Transformation Of Marriage As A State Institution, John Makdisi, June Mary Zekan Makdisi

The first section of this essay explores why the good of children requires the institution of marriage to promote the procreation of children by the act of physical-spiritual love between a man and a woman. The second section explores why the good of children requires the institution of marriage to promote the upbringing of children by the lasting, exclusive, and faithful commitment of the couple. The third section explains why Obergefell's removal of the requirement of a legal union between a man and a woman as an essential aspect of marriage not only destroys the function of the marriage institution …

The Common Good And Servant-Leadership: Rocks Upon Which Good Societies, Organizations, And Leaders Are Built, Dung Q. Tran, Larry C. Spears

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

The humanistic concepts undergirding the common good and servant-leadership—“the protection of human dignity and the promotion of societal well-being” (Pirson, 2017, p. 2) —are ancient, aspirational, and enduring. These theories resonate with various wisdom traditions and have been associated with and/or examined by consequential thoughtleaders such as Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, John Rawls, Mother Teresa, and Desmond Tutu (Howell & Wanasika, 2018; Keith, 2015; Trompenaars & Voerman, 2009; Tutu, 1999; Velasquez et al., 2014). Among the many key contributors to the development of the common good and servant-leadership were Saint John XXIII and Robert Greenleaf, whose influential ideas in the …

Review Of Chaim Saiman's The Rabbinic Idea Of Law, Suzanne Last Stone

Articles

The article reviews Chaim Saiman's Halakhah: The Rabbinic Idea of Law, highlighting its contribution to understanding rabbinic law as a cultural and educational force. Saiman's work bridges legal and cultural scholarship by emphasizing halakhah's dual role as both regulatory and expressive, drawing on Robert Cover's paideic model of law and Lawrence Rosen's concept of law as cosmology. The book explores how Talmudic discourse embodies this duality, blending legal reasoning with moral, theological, and ethical inquiry, and examines the tension between maintaining religious meaning and legal detail.
