Fifty years after the closing of the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church began its implementation with the creation of consultative bodies at all levels of the church. This book examines the response of Hispanic American Catholics to the spirit of the Second Vatican Council. In the early 70's the Catholic bishops of the United States saw the need to address the growing Hispanic presence in the church. The concern of the bishops was to look for ways on how to integrate Hispanic Americans into the life of the church so that they could offer a process of integration, communion, and participation in the one Catholic Church of the United States. American priests working in the inner city throughout the country and Hispanic American leaders began to articulate a process to reflect on the presence of Hispanic Americans in the church by using the methodology of "see, judge, and act." This process became an instrument of consultation and involvement of the people in the pews throughout the Catholic Church in the country. Participation in the process included people from the parish, diocese, region, and national levels. This approach confirmed the vision of the bishops in inviting the communities to participate and identify themselves with the Catholic Church in the United States. This initiative became a model for consultation and integration and became known as National Encuentros. Each encuentro provided a set of recommendations to the bishops and to the diocesan church. Ultimately as a result, the National Pastoral Plan for Hispanic Ministry was developed and approved by the USCCB. This book is published to mark the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Second Vatican Council as an instrument of consultation and a memory of the historical process developed by Hispanic Americans. The fifth encuentro is scheduled to take place during the summer of 2016. +

2020 Association of Catholic Publishers third place award in theology 2020 Catholic Press Association third place award in Pope Francis books The dangerous tendency to reduce theological positions to political ones has always fueled divisions in the Church, and it plagues debates surrounding Pope Francis's teaching today. This collection of essays was born of a landmark international symposium designed to promote theological understanding by contextualizing the thought of Pope Francis—from his understanding of history to his theology of mission—within important theological conversations rarely heard in the US Catholic Church. Its contributors demonstrate decisively that Pope Francis's magisterium is the fruit of a profound and distinctive, yet deeply Catholic, intellectual engagement with the theological and ecclesial traditions of the Church.

The relationship between gender and nationalism is a compelling issue that is receiving increasing coverage in the scholarly literature. With case studies covering Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia and Mexico, this is the first book to explore these links in the context of Latin America. It includes contributions from Latin American scholars to offer a unique and revealing view of the most important political and cultural issues. The work opens by outlining four dimensions in the relationship between gender and nationalism. These are: the contribution of women to nation building and their exclusion from it by the state and its institutions; the role of women in contemporary ethnic and nationalist movements; the place of the female body in the myths and traditions surrounding the nation; and the role of women in forging the intellectual and artistic culture of the nation. It then provides both theoretical and empirical explorations of these themes, with chapters covering the debate on multiculturalism and gender in the construction of the nation, the struggles of ethnic women to participate politically in their communities and studies of the first Mexican filmmaker, Mimi Derrba and the indigenous heroine Dolores Cacuango from Ecuador.

This dissertation presents a history of, and ecclesiological reflections on, the three Encuentros Nacionales Hispanos de Pastoral (1972, 1977, 1985) sponsored by the U.S. Roman Catholic bishops. The historical section, consisting of six chapters, devotes two chapters to each Encuentro: the first chapter of each pair is a historical presentation of the antecedents, planning, and implementation of that particular Encuentro; the following chapter discusses the recommendations and describes the subsequent impact of that Encuentro. The historical analysis of the Encuentros--which utilized published material, archival texts, and interviews with seventeen participants--highlighted the grassroots participation that was an important part of the Encuentros as well as the involvement and response of U.S. bishops. At the time of the Encuentros, many U.S. bishops expressed their interest in shared responsibility in the Church, as exemplified in Call to Action (1975-1976) and the proposed creation of a National Pastoral Council. This dissertation also identified several significant ecclesiological themes that surfaced during and following each Encuentro: a Church committed to evangelization, missionary work, justice and community; a Church promoting ecclesial coresponsibility, dialogue, and synodality through a pastoral de conjunto; a Church concerned for the ecclesial formation of Hispanics as well as for the family, the poor, young people, and women. The Encuentros exemplified a communion ecclesiology that balances the Church's unity and diversity in accord with Hispanic cultural pluralism; the Encuentros utilized an inductive methodology that focused on the sensus fidelium as expressed in religiosidad popular and on a U.S. Catholic Church where Hispanics seek not only responsibility, but also formation, evangelization, and conversion.

Born in Boston of immigrant parents, Thomas A. Judge, CM (1868-1933) preached up and down the east coast on the Vincentian mission band between 1903 and 1915. Disturbed by the “leakage” of the immigrant poor from the church, he enlisted and organized lay women he met on the missions to work for the “preservation of the faith,” his watchword. His work grew apace with, and in some ways anticipated, the growing body of papal teaching on the lay apostolate. When he became superior of the godforsaken Vincentian Alabama mission in 1915, he invited the lay apostles to come south to help. “This is the layman’s hour,” he wrote in 1919. By then, however, many of his lay apostles had evolved in the direction of vowed communal life. This pioneer of the lay apostle founded two religious communities, one of women and one of men. With the indispensable help of his co-founder, Mother Boniface Keasey, he spent the last decade of his life trying to gain canonical approval for these groups, organizing them, and helping them learn “to train the work-a-day man and woman into an apostle, to cause each to be alert to the interests of the Church, to be the Church.” The roaring twenties saw the work expanded beyond the Alabama missions as far as Puerto Rico, which Judge viewed as a gateway to Latin America. The Great Depression ended this expansive mood and time and put agonizing pressure on Judge, his disciples, and their work. In 1932, the year before Judge’s death, the apostolic delegate, upon being appraised of Judge’s financial straits, described his work as “the only organized movement of its kind in the Church today that so completely meets the wishes of the Holy Father with reference to the Lay Apostolate.”

Trump’s “Make America Great Again” was a crass slogan intended to appeal to the most antiquated and base emotions, resentments, and bigotry that plague far too many “Americans” who still believe in white supremacy. Using historical sources found on various research platforms, Part I reviews the genocide, persecution, and bigotry practiced from Columbus to Trump on natives, immigrants, Africans, and others. There is no review of Trump as what he has done and is doing is well-covered by present-day media. Acknowledging it is hardly an exhaustive compilation, Part II lists the contributions made by those who suffered from their not being white Anglo immigrants to America. The book is an attempt to have Americans, who will listen and care, recognize that America does not need to be made “great again.” America needs to be made great.
