Ecstatic Morality And Sexual Politics: A Catholic And Antitotalitarian Theory Of The Body, Graham James Mcaleer May 2005

Ecstatic Morality And Sexual Politics: A Catholic And Antitotalitarian Theory Of The Body, Graham James Mcaleer

Religion

This first book-length treatment of Thomas Aquinas’s theory of the body presents a Catholic understanding of the body and its implications for social and political philosophy. Making a fundamental contribution to antitotalitarian theory, McAleer argues that a sexual politics reliant upon Aquinas’s theory of the body is better (because less violent) than other commonly available theories. He contrasts this theory with those of four other groups of thinkers: the continental tradition represented by Kant, Schopenhauer, Merleau-Ponty, Nancy, Levinas, and Deleuze; feminism, in the work of Donna Haraway; an alternative Catholic theory to be found in Karl Rahner; and the “Radical …

A Rhetorical Analysis Of Value Claims In The Glenn Beck Program, James John Bailey May 2005

A Rhetorical Analysis Of Value Claims In The Glenn Beck Program, James John Bailey

Theses and Dissertations

A Rhetorical Analysis o f Value Claims in the Glenn Beck Program explores the use o f rhetoric to promote morals and traditional Judaeo-Christian values on Glenn Beck’s radio program to the greater society. This value analysis seeks to reveal the quality o f the argumentation that is implemented and a selection o f the theoretical reasons for its appeal to the program’s listeners. The program extols a traditional Judaeo- Christian view that is not commonly seen or practiced in America after the decade o f the 1940s. The radio program seeks to counter the inroads o f modernism and …

Impact Of Classics Of Western Spirituality On The Discipline Of Christian Spirituality, Sandra Marie Schneiders Apr 2005

Impact Of Classics Of Western Spirituality On The Discipline Of Christian Spirituality, Sandra Marie Schneiders

Jesuit School of Theology

First became aware of the need for something like the Classics of Western Spirituality (CWS) in the late 1960's and early 1970's when I was working on my licentiate thesis in Paris. My subject was the understanding of consecrated virginity in the first four centuries of Christianity. I was motivated to study this subject by two hunches, both confirmed by my subsequent research: first, that the spirituality of Catholic Religious Life, both monastic and ministerial, as it developed in the Christian tradition, was actually rooted historically and mystically in the commitment of the consecrated virgins in the first three centuries …

Role Of Accounting Practices In The Disempowerment Of The Coahuiltecan Indians, Sarah A. Holmes, Sandra T. Welch, Laura R. Knudson Jan 2005

Role Of Accounting Practices In The Disempowerment Of The Coahuiltecan Indians, Sarah A. Holmes, Sandra T. Welch, Laura R. Knudson

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper argues that a complex of accounting measures : account books, inventories of accumulated wealth, and detailed instructions for production performance : were used to inculcate Western values into the native population located at five Franciscan missions along the San Antonio River in New Spain (present-day Texas) from 1718 to 1794. Bolstered by the need to alleviate communications problems caused by extreme isolation, the missionaries constructed detailed mission documents that described the acquisition of scarce resources, reported the aggregation of material and spiritual mission wealth, and controlled daily production performance of the native population. In short, the resulting mission …

Law, Medicine, And Religion: Towards A Dialogue And A Partnership In Biomedical Technology And Decision Making, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

Faith, religion, spirituality, and prayer have a current focused outreach and easy parlance in the market places and public squares of the nation. News stories and court cases abound with dramatic challenges to the placement of monuments to the Ten Commandments in public buildings and grounds, the use of God's name in school pledges of allegiance, the teaching of Darwinian or evolutionary science in public education, the role of faith and religion in health care healing, and even the value of affirmations of religious faith on the political hustings. The purpose of this article is to explore the conjunctive and …

Preemption And Law In The Twenty-First Century, David B. Rivkin Jr., Lee A. Casey, Mark W. Delaquil Jan 2005

Preemption And Law In The Twenty-First Century, David B. Rivkin Jr., Lee A. Casey, Mark W. Delaquil

Chicago Journal of International Law

No aspect of the Bush Administration's foreign policy has caused greater consternation in Europe, at the United Nations, and among the Academy than the doctrine of "preemption." As the President has made clear, both in the 2002 National Security Strategy of the United States of America ("NSS") and in numerous other public statements, the United States claims the legal right to take military action to preempt gathering threats to its national security, with or without the sanction of the UN Security Council. Despite the outraged cries of critics, both at home and abroad, the doctrine of preemptive self-defense is well- …

Book Review: "Introduction To Jewish And Catholic Bioethics: A Comparative Analysis", Stacey A. Tovino Jan 2005

Book Review: "Introduction To Jewish And Catholic Bioethics: A Comparative Analysis", Stacey A. Tovino

Scholarly Works

Aaron Mackler’s agenda is to provide an orientation to ethical reasoning in the Roman Catholic and Jewish traditions, explore Roman Catholic and Jewish deliberations in five areas of bioethics, and identify and examine the traditions’ divergent and convergent methodologies. Mackler’s spirit is to learn more about his own religious traditions by studying the traditions of others. Accomplishing his agenda while remaining true to his spirit, Mackler shows just how much Jewish and Catholic thinkers can learn from one another.

The Intention/Foresight Distinction In The Doctrine Of Double Effect: From Theoretical Impasses And Double-Think To Practical Applications In Bioethics, Mitchell R. Thomas, Iii Jan 2005

The Intention/Foresight Distinction In The Doctrine Of Double Effect: From Theoretical Impasses And Double-Think To Practical Applications In Bioethics, Mitchell R. Thomas, Iii

LSU Master's Theses

The purpose of this paper is to address the doubts that surround the intention/foresight distinction of the Doctrine of Double Effect (DDE). The claim is made by some that this distinction is merely a semantic one or if real, it is morally irrelevant. It will be argued that this is the result of doubts that surround the contributions of theory in applied ethics and the double think that sometimes results from the misuse of the DDE. I will argue that the intention/foresight distinction in the DDE is a real one and can be made on the level of practice, without …

A Diabolical Disneyland In Zion: The Mormons And The Mx, Jacob W. Olmstead Jan 2005

A Diabolical Disneyland In Zion: The Mormons And The Mx, Jacob W. Olmstead

Theses and Dissertations

In September 1979 President Jimmy Carter publicly announced his decision to support the deployment of the MX missile and mobile basing scheme in Utah and Nevada. Despite local opposition and the close proximity of the proposed base to its headquarters, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) remained silent until 5 May 1981, when the First Presidency issued a statement opposing the MX plans. The purpose of this work is to narrate the history of the development of the Mormon position regarding the deployment of MX missile in the Great Basin and evaluate the response to the statement …

Justice And Gender In Ministry: Debating Women's Ordination, Maura A. Ryan Jan 2005

Justice And Gender In Ministry: Debating Women's Ordination, Maura A. Ryan

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Much has been written on the question of ordaining women in the Roman Catholic Church. Catholic scholars of all stripes have debated issues such as the biblical sources for a theology of ordination; the relationship between sacramental and non-sacramental ministries; the limits of papal authority and the development of doctrine; and, more recently, the relationship between the elevation of an all-male, celibate clergy and the failure of Catholic bishops to address reported sexual abuse by priests. This essay focuses on the ethical implications of barring women from the priesthood. Although my references are to Catholic or Christian practices primarily, I …

The Priest-Penitent Privilege – An Hibernocentric Exercise In Postcolonial Jurisprudence, Walter J. Walsh Jan 2005

The Priest-Penitent Privilege – An Hibernocentric Exercise In Postcolonial Jurisprudence, Walter J. Walsh

Articles

Although much has been written on the history of the priest-penitent privilege, this Article will show that such writing tends toward an unconscious, but strong, anglocentric tilt. It seems that no scholar has tried to locate and interpret all the Irish and American sources that inspired this initially hibernocentric, later more generally American, postcolonial deviation from the English common law. Since the Second World War, the significance of Philips and its 1828 New York codification have gained widespread recognition, but the scholarly inquiry has never advanced in any truly historical fashion. This article is thus the first history of the …

“The Wil Of His Wif:” Discourse, Power, And Gender In Chaucer’S The Tale Of Melibee, Sara D. Jenkins Jan 2005

“The Wil Of His Wif:” Discourse, Power, And Gender In Chaucer’S The Tale Of Melibee, Sara D. Jenkins

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In the Tale of Melibee, Chaucer gives us an excellent illustration of a point French theorist Michel Foucault would make centuries later: That power is something that moves and shifts between people and within institutions, that it is not fixed nor permanent, that it is used as needed toward specific ends, and that it is enacted through the medium of discourse. In Melibee, Melibee’s wife Prudence achieves a place of authority and influence in her marriage via her use of discourse, and specifically by using a more “male” way of speaking. Chaucer is often considered feminist-friendly due to …

“The Indispensable Basis Of Democracy”: American Catholicism, The Church-State Debate, And The Soul Of American Liberalism, 1920–1929, Zachary R. Calo Jan 2005

“The Indispensable Basis Of Democracy”: American Catholicism, The Church-State Debate, And The Soul Of American Liberalism, 1920–1929, Zachary R. Calo

Scholarly Works

Several recent works of scholarship explore how Establishment Clause jurisprudence has been shaped by broader political debates over the role of religion in public life. This literature focuses on the politics of anti-Catholicism, particularly during the early years of Establishment Clause jurisprudence in the1940s and 1950s. While not questioning the centrality of this period to the historical narrative, this Note argues that the political contest over church and state took shape in an earlier debate over the compatibility of Catholicism and the Constitution during the 1920s. The Church’s response to the anti-Catholicism of this period was of particular importance. Catholic …
