Party Songs: A Correlation Between Political Affiliation And Liturgical Music, Renee Leavitt
Party Songs: A Correlation Between Political Affiliation And Liturgical Music, Renee Leavitt
Honors Theses
I believe that there is a correlation between musical taste and political affiliation, based upon my experience in the church and as an observer of the congregation. By asking individual people -- such as choir directors, organists, and theologians -- about a correlation between political affiliation and liturgical music taste, I believe there is enough of a pattern to deserve study. This pattern I am looking for should exhibit some shared interest in the subject at hand, some examples of the congregation liking or not liking particular music, or further information that I can explore. After interviewing those workers of …

Charity As Friendship According To St. Thomas Aquinas, Michael Hoye
Charity As Friendship According To St. Thomas Aquinas, Michael Hoye
Honors Theses
The Angelic Doctor of the Church, Saint Thomas Aquinas, is among the greatest minds to contribute to the Catholic tradition. What this important Doctor of the Church teaches about charity, however, has not been widely received in the seven centuries since Aquinas’ career.
