Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Church stands at the forefront of an emergent majority-minority America. Parish and Place tells the story of how America's largest religion is responding at the local level to unprecedented cultural, racial, linguistic, ideological, and political diversification. Specifically, it explores bishops' use of personal parishes - parishes formally established not on the basis of territory, but purpose. Today's personal parishes serve an array of Catholics drawn together by shared identities and preferences, rather than shared neighborhoods. They allow Catholic leaders to act upon the perceived need for named, specialist organizations alongside the more common territorial parish that serves all in its midst. Parish and Place documents the American Catholic Church's movement away from "national" parishes and towards personal parishes as a renewed organizational form. Tricia Bruce uses in-depth interviews and national survey data to examine the rise and rationale behind new parishes for the Traditional Latin Mass, for Vietnamese Catholics, for tourists, and more. Featuring insights from bishops, priests, and diocesan leaders throughout the United States, this book offers a rare view of institutional decision making from the top. Parish and Place demonstrates structural responses to diversity, exploring just how far fragmentation can go before it challenges unity.

Download or read book Catholics in New York written by Terry Golway and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lavishly illustrated book chronicles the history, growth, and extraordinary legacy of New York's largest Christian denomination. Co-published with the Museum of the City of New York as a companion to its exhibition on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the Archdiocese of New York, this book brings together rare images and original essays to explore the key dimensions of the Catholic experience in New York. Here is a fascinating pictorial record of Catholic struggles and triumphs, and thirteen insightful essays that trace the story of Catholic New York--from people, parishes, and traditions to the schools, hospitals, and other institutions that helped shape the metropolis. The struggles of generations of immigrants and their descendents against prejudice bear fruit in the remarkable ascendance of Catholics in the city's politics. From the emblematic account of one Manhattan parish's life across generations of neighborhood change to fresh perspectives on the extraordinary impact of Catholic institutional life on the making of the city, the essays range widely. There's a personal refl ection by Pete Hamill on growing up Catholic as well as revealing explorations of the Catholic presence in all corners of New York's social, political, cultural, and educational worlds. Catholic leaders such as Dorothy Day, Al Smith, and Mother Cabrini come to life in other essays. An afterword offers a look at Catholic New York facing new realities of race, ethnic change, and suburbanization after World War II. Blending memorable images with insightful commentary, Catholics in New York tells not just the story of the city's largest community of faith, but offers a new telling of what is for everyone a classic New York story.

Download or read book American Parishes written by Gary J. Adler and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parishes are the missing middle in studies of American Catholicism. Between individual Catholics and a global institution, the thousands of local parishes are where Catholicism gets remade. American Parishes showcases what social forces shape parishes, what parishes do, how they do it, and what this says about the future of Catholicism in the United States. Expounding an embedded field approach, this book displays the numerous forces currently reshaping American parishes. It draws from sociology of religion, culture, organizations, and race to illuminate basic parish processes, like leadership and education, and ongoing parish struggles like conflict and multiculturalism. American Parishes brings together contemporary data, methods, and questions to establish a sociological re-engagement with Catholic parishes and a Catholic re-engagement with sociological analysis. Contributions by leading social scientists highlight how community, geography, and authority intersect within parishes. It illuminates and analyzes how growing racial diversity, an aging religious population, and neighborhood change affect the inner workings of parishes. Contributors: Gary J. Adler Jr., Nancy Ammerman, Mary Jo Bane, Tricia C. Bruce, John A. Coleman, S.J., Kathleen Garces-Foley, Mary Gray, Brett Hoover, Courtney Ann Irby, Tia Noelle Pratt, and Brian Starks

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Byfield: A New England Parish If one could only know in youth what he was to do in after life how much better he could do it! Had I dreamed in my early years of writing a history of Byfield, there were many about me, who have long since passed on, who could have instantly given me information which I have only obtained with difficulty, or not at all; but up to four years ago I had never thought of such a work. What led to it was the publication of an article by me on Ezekiel Rogers and Rowley in the New England Magazine for September, 1899. This brought to me the urgent suggestion, particularly from Mr. Northend, that I should write a history of Byfield. At first I would not entertain the idea because my regular work was so engrossing, but at length I yielded, and I have found the task, while a large one, very pleasant. It has been lightened by the hearty cooperation of so many friends that I cannot attempt to enumerate them all, although under the head of authorities and, from time to time, in the body of the work, I have had the privilege of acknowledging my debt to some of them.

Book excerpt: AN INVESTIGATION OF EPIC FINANCIAL INTRIGUE, RENDER UNTO ROME EXPOSES THE SECRECY AND DECEIT THAT RUN COUNTER TO THE VALUES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. The Sunday collection in every Catholic church throughout the world is as familiar a part of the Mass as the homily and even Communion. There is no doubt that historically the Catholic Church has been one of the great engines of charity in history. But once a dollar is dropped in that basket, where does it go? How are weekly cash contributions that can amount to tens of thousands of dollars accounted for? Where does the money go when a diocese sells a church property for tens of millions of dollars? And what happens when hundreds of millions of dollars are turned over to officials at the highest ranks, no questions asked, for their discretionary use? The Roman Catholic Church is the largest organization in the world. The Vatican has never revealed its net worth, but the value of its works of art, great churches, property in Rome, and stocks held through its bank easily run into the tens of billions. Yet the Holy See as a sovereign state covers a mere 108 acres and has a small annual budget of about $280 million. No major book has examined the church’s financial underpinnings and practices with such journalistic force. Today the church bears scrutiny by virtue of the vast amounts of money (nearly $2 billion in the United States alone) paid out to victims of clergy abuse. Amid mounting diocesan bankruptcies, bishops have been selling off whole pieces of the infrastructure—churches, schools, commercial properties—while the nephew of one of the Vatican’s most powerful cardinals engaged in a lucrative scheme to profiteer off the enormous downsizing of American church wealth.

Download or read book Annals of Henrico Parish (Classic Reprint) written by Lewis William Burton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 854 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of Henrico Parish The Annals of Henrico Parish down to Easter, 1884, were originally prepared by me at the request of Bishop Randolph, to furnish him with the facts of the history of St. John's for the preparation of his discourse for the sesqui-centennial, celebrated June 10, 1891. Shortly after that anniversary, I made up the Annals into an address and delivered it in St. John's, as Bishop Randolph had quoted only slightly from my gathered facts, his treatment of his theme having been rather philosophical. The annals of my own rectorship, as I say more partien larly in the introduction thereto, are not meant for publica tion or expected to be generally read. I do not pretend to be a historian of my own time; much less do I wish to appear as magnifying my own ministry. Some of the minute de tails are of no importance in themselves, and probably will have no interest to the future historian of the parish, who may seek material in these pages; but they are put on record for the sake of those concerned, to whom the smallest things and simplest facts in and about the Church of their love are sacred and precious. On the other hand, I have told of things which everybody, now a member of St. John's, sees or knows; but I have been mindful of a time when these things may have disappeared or those who know of their history may have departed. The difficulties I found in preparing the facts concerning St. John's Church, through the one hundred and fifty years of its existence as a building, influenced me not a little in this matter.
