DEMOCRATS AND CATHOLICS
In: Dissent: a journal devoted to radical ideas and the values of socialism and democracy, S. 41-44
ISSN: 0012-3846
TODAY'S PARTY SYSTEM IS A LONG WAY FROM THE THICK CULTURE OF FAMILY, CHURCH, NEIGHBORHOOD, AND LIFELONG AFFILIATION IT ONCE ENJOYED. THIS IS EVIDENT IN THE CHOICES NOW BEING MADE BY INDIVIDUALS WHO GREW UP IN VERY RELIGIOUS, VERY DEMOCRATIC FAMILIES 40 AND 50 YEARS AGO. ALTHOUGH THE ADULT CHILDREN OF THESE STAUNCH PARENTS HAVE OFTENTIMES GROWN UP TO BE DEMOCRATS THEMSELVES, THEY HAVE BECOME RELUCTANT SUPPORTERS OF THE POLITICAL PARTY THAT THEIR PARENTS SO BELIEVED IN. IN PARTICULAR, ABORTION, THE DEATH PENALTY, CUTS IN SOCIAL WELFARE, AND PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED SUICIDE ARE ISSUES THAT THE NEXT GENERATION CAN NOT SUPPORT. THE TIME HAS COME, THEREFORE, FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO STOP BEING HELD HOSTAGE TO PRO-CHOICE POLITICS.

Catholics in Vietnam
In: Worldview, Band 15, Heft 11, S. 35-40
Somewhere in the National Archives of the United States lies one of the very first, if not the first, diplomatic correspondence between this country and Vietnam. On August 16, 1849, President Zachary Taylor wrote to "His Majesty the Magnificent King of Anam." The letter reads in part:Great and Good Friend!To you, my Brother, the Great and Mighty King of Anam, I send love and goodwill, in this letter, by the hands of Mr. Joseph Balestier, my faithful and trusty Envoy and Minister to South Eastern Asia, to whom I give express orders to deliver it into your own Royal hands in order that you may understand how greatly I have been grieved to hear it said, that the Captain of one of my warships had misbehaved himself, four years ago, (which I have only heard of lately, for the first time, because your country is so far from mine) by landing men from his ship in Toorong Bay and firing on your people, and killing and Wounding some of them….
Catholics in Elizabethan Warwickshire
This dissertation examines the Catholic community of Warwickshire during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558--?1603). While local studies of post—Reformation Catholics have been attempted in other English counties, no substantial body of work has been produced for Warwickshire. The research therefore draws heavily on both the primary sources for Warwickshire and the more general secondary works on post--?Reformation Catholicism. The approach has been to identify the Catholics and recusants through the primary sources, such as recusant rolls, commissioners' reports and State Papers, and endeavour to understand the causes and consequences of recusancy and how this affected the identity of the Catholic individual and community. The principal findings and discoveries demonstrate that the Catholic community of Warwickshire was, in general, detached from its medieval predecessor. Unable to worship freely, they resorted to clandestine and surreptitious practices and proved to be eclectic and fluid with regard to religious doctrine when the occasion demanded. After heightened persecution in the 1580s, the steadfast members of the community tried to avoid detection through several means, including church papism, frequently moving between parishes or counties, and the (often false) promise of conformity when caught. This dissertation is arranged into six thematic chapters. This method allowed several key aspects of the continuation of Catholicism in Warwickshire to be analysed separately. Chapter 1 introduces the themes explored in the dissertation. Chapter 2 examines the geographical features of Warwickshire and its jurisdictional subdivision and argues that these features protected pockets of Catholic communities from close supervision by the state and church. Chapter 3 investigates the clergy within the county and their effect on Catholics and recusants. The higher and lower reformed clergy, the remaining Marian priests and the missionaries who came to England from 1574 onwards are considered. Chapter 4 looks at the members of the Catholic community themselves, focusing on the gentry and non-gentry. Chapter 5 focuses on the government's use of monetary fines to deter conservatives from recusancy from 1581 onwards. The reasons for Catholics to choose either recusancy or church papism over conformity are complex and, in the face of fierce persecution, at times inexplicable. Chapter 6 considers the themes of persecution and toleration within the county, and analyses in detail the circumstances of the Somerville Plot of 1583. The understanding of such a community, combined with a comparative analysis of Catholic communities in other counties, offers an original contribution to the study of post-Reformation England. ; published_or_final_version ; History ; Master ; Master of Philosophy

LIBERALS, CONSERVATIVES, AND CATHOLICS
In: The annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Band 344

Among Catholics, there is little controversy over theological & doctrinal matters. However, the teaching authority of the church, the magisterium, extends to the application of Christian , natural-law ideas to soc questions. The soc encyclicals are general & their application to specific situations is within the authority of the bishops It is here, esp, that Catholics become divided between liberals & conservatives. Ever since the establishment of the organized US church, Catholics have accepted the US system of separation of religion & pol, but there has been controversy on particular matters. Catholics have favored the liberty of parochial Sch's &, ultimately, auxiliary benefits to the Catholic Sch child. Though the freedom of the artist is generally recognized, the Catholic defense of morality has approved more censorship of the MM than liberals ordinarily approve. Catholics are divided in the defense & criticism of the free market, though it would seem to be clear that most Catholic opinion does not consider the US economy in violation of the soc encyclicals. Liberal Catholics are critical of the competitive system, & conservatives believe that papal teaching is in accordance with the free-market system. AA.
Rome and American Catholics

Considers the paradox evidenced by American Catholics' simultaneous rejection of papal teaching & their enduring commitment to Rome. This issue is explored here based on survey data from 214 members of the Women's Ordination Conference (WOC), who contest Vatican opposition to women priests. It is suggested that the legitimation narrative that WOC members use to validate their identity as Catholics committed to a doctrinal stance denounced by Rome illuminates one of the mechanisms that enable Catholics in general to maintain their religious identity while disagreeing with papal teaching. Derived from their lived knowledge of Catholicism, WOC respondents claim the authority to interpret doctrine & use that interpretive autonomy to offer doctrinally grounded reasons in favor of change. Empowered by Catholicism to reflexively critique church doctrine & practice, WOC members both validate their particularized interpretations of Catholicism & maintain communion with the church's more universal community of memory. 28 References.
