Book excerpt: Isaac Thomas Hecker was the prototype nineteenth-century American. He was an idealist and a visionary, a believer in the "rightness" of the American experiment. A utopian at heart, Hecker sampled life in New England's transcendentalist communes, later entering the Catholic Church where he began a new community that was founded on the ideals of freedom and personal initiative. He had all the virtues and all the flaws of his era, being optimistic, passionate, energetic, far-sighted, naive. Yet Hecker was also profoundly counter-cultural. He was a mystic in an age of pragmatism. He proclaimed the value of the collective to a generation of Americans who already were falling under the influence of laissez-faire individualism. Within his adopted Catholic community he championed personalism to an unreceptive audience; Rome and its hierarchy were in a defensive posture that favored obedience and conformity. In the end Rome assailed "Americanism" as a threat to its good order. David J. O'Brien has written the first, full life of Isaac Hecker to appear in a hundred years. In the process he enables us to see Hecker's great significance for American religious and social history. Hecker was well-known in his own day--a friend of Thoreau, Emerson and Alcott, popular speaker, best-selling author--but soon after his death he slipped into semi-obscurity. To Catholic intransigents he was an embarrassment, to American pragmatists he was a curiosity. But the present age has witnessed a renewal of spiritual seeking that characterized Hecker's own journey, and the church he swore allegiance to has begun to see things the way he did. The time is ripe for this honest and comprehensive account of Isaac Hecker'sfascinating story.

Download or read book The Yankee Paul: Isaac Thomas Hecker written by Vincent F. Holden and published by . This book was released on 1958 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isaac Thomas Hecker (December 18, 1819 - December 22, 1888) was an American Roman Catholic Priest and founder of the Paulist Fathers, a North American religious society of men; he is named a Servant of God by the Catholic Church. Hecker was originally ordained a Redemptorist priest in 1849. Then, with the blessing of Pope Pius IX, he founded the Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle, now known as the Paulist Fathers, in New York on July 7, 1858. The Society was established to evangelize both believers and non-believers in order to convert America to the Catholic Church. Father Hecker sought to evangelize Americans using the popular means of his day, primarily preaching, the public lecture circuit, and the printing press. One of his more enduring publications is The Catholic World, which he created in 1865. Hecker's spirituality centered largely on cultivating the action of the Holy Spirit within the soul as well as the necessity of being attuned to how He prompts one in great and small moments in life. Hecker believed that the Catholic faith and American culture were not opposed, but could be reconciled. The ideas of individual freedom, community, service, and authority were fundamental to Hecker when conceiving of how the Paulists were to be governed and administered. Hecker's work was likened to that of Cardinal John Henry Newman, by the Cardinal himself. Father Hecker's cause for Sainthood was opened January 25, 2008, in the mother Church of the Paulist Fathers on 59th St, New York City.

Download or read book The Chance of Salvation written by Lincoln A. Mullen and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chance of Salvation offers a history of conversions in the United States which shows how religious identity came to be a matter of choice. Shortly after the American Revolution, people in the United States increasingly encountered an expanded array of religious options. Evangelical Protestants began an effort to convert Americans, while developing new practices that emphasized conversion as an immediate choice. Their missionary effort extended to Native American nations such as the Cherokee in the Southeast, who received Christianity on their own terms. Enslaved and newly freed African Americans likewise created a variety of Christian conversion that was centered on religious hope and eschatological expectation. Mormons, drawing on earlier Protestant practices and beliefs, enthusiastically proselytized for a new tradition that emphasized individual choice and free will. By uncovering the way that religious identity is structured as an obligatory decision, this book explains why Americans change their religions so much, and why the United States is both highly religious in terms of religious affiliation and very secular in the sense that no religion is an unquestioned default.--

Download or read book Thomas Verner Moore written by Benedict Neenan and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Verner Moore (1877-1969)-priest, author, teacher and practical psychiatrist-was one of the first advocates of modern psychology among Roman Catholics in the United States. In this fascinating biography Benedict Neenan brings to life this man of staggering accomplishments and recounts the many twists and turns he took in the search for his professional and spiritual development. Skillfully intertwining the dramatic interaction between Moore's intense activism and his deeply felt need for contemplation and asceticism, Neenan points out the many paradoxes and tensions of his rich and eventful life. For example, Moore started out in his adult religious life as a member of one of the most progressive and distinctly American religious communities, the Paulists, and ended it as a member of one of the most traditional orders, the Carthusians. Besides detailing the life of this accomplished man, this work offers a glimpse into American Catholic life American social life in the first half of the twentieth century.

Download or read book LGBTQ Catholic Ministry written by Steidl Jack, Jason and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has spoken with countless Catholics who are passionate about LGBTQ ministry but feel stymied by a lack of resources. Fr. Martin’s book, Building a Bridge, is a helpful conversation starter, but what does community and pastoral care look like in the real world? How do ministers navigate the complexities of church teaching and institutions? Sometimes, the history of these relationships is hard to recount. The church’s mistreatment of LGBTQ Catholics is heartbreaking. Nevertheless, this painful history opens up to hope for the future. LGBTQ Catholics and their allies are tenacious. Decades of ministry provide a vision for what is possible in communities committed to justice and mercy. This book will amplify their stories to inspire LGBTQ people and allies today.

Download or read book Nathaniel Hawthorne written by Annick Duperray and published by Editions Publibook. This book was released on 2006 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans une étude récente, l'écrivain américain Paul Auster évoque "la prose originale et délicate" de Nathaniel Hawthorne, "sa capacité d'allier la complexité d'une observation psychologique pénétrante avec un souci moral et philosophique d'ordre général" : "Hawthorne, le créateur d'allégories, Hawthorne le fabuliste romantique, Hawthorne le chroniqueur de la Nouvelle-Angleterre coloniale au XVIIe siècle, et surtout, le Hawthorne réinventé par Borgès (le précurseur de Kafka)." L'œuvre de Nathaniel Hawthorne, sous toutes ses formes, se prête au jeu de lectures plurielles et sa rencontre avec les approches critiques contemporaines est des plus productives. Comme l'écrit encore Paul Auster, Hawthorne n'est pas seulement une "figure vénérable du passé littéraire", mais aussi un contemporain, un "homme dont le temps est encore le présent". Animés de semblables convictions, nous avons souhaité publier ce recueil d'essais issus des travaux d'un colloque international, organisé en novembre 2001, dans le cadre d'un cycle d'études intitulé "Ethique et Esthétique" à l'Université de Provence. Nous sommes particulièrement reconnaissants envers Millicent Bell, critique littéraire et ancienne présidente de la société Hawthorne ("Nathaniel Hawthorne Society"), de nous avoir apporté son concours, et à Professor Marc Monthéard, Doyen Académique de The American University of Paris, qui a permis la publication de cet ouvrage.

Download or read book Divided Friends written by William L. Portier and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In two sets of intertwined biographical portraits, spanning two generations, Divided Friends dramatizes the theological issues of the modernist crisis, highlighting their personal dimensions and extensively reinterpreting their long-range effects. The four protagonists are Bishop Denis J. O?Connell, Josephite founder John R. Slattery, together with the Paulists William L. Sullivan and Joseph McSorley. Their lives span the decades from the Americanist crisis of the 1890s right up to the eve of Vatican II. In each set, one leaves the church and one stays. The two who leave come to see their former companions as fundamentally dishonest. Divided Friends entails a reinterpretation of the intellectual fallout from the modernist crisis and a reframing of the 20th century debate about Catholic intellectual life.
