Bl. John Duns Scotus and His Mariology
Commemoration of the Seventh Centenary of His Death The hope of this Symposium is to set in relief the importance of the mystery of Mary in understanding the thought of Bl. John Duns Scotus, a mystery so much neglected by many students of Scotus, today as in yesteryear. Without that profound veneration of the Immaculate Virgin and an appreciation of her uniqueness as the Immaculate Conception, the theology and metaphysics of Scotus will remain merely the abstruse delight of an elite academy, and Mariology will be lacking its securest instrument of reflection.
The Library of a Jesuit Community at Holbeck, Nottinghamshire (1679)
"The Holbeck catalogue is apparently the only recorded 17th-century Jesuit missionary library. There are of course several catalogues of Jesuit institutional libraries in France, Germany and elsewhere, but these are libraries solely for the clergy, and in some cases these libraries lost their Jesuit identity through being swamped by large gifts from outside sources. The Holbeck library, on the other hand, was just large enough to be a working tool, and compact enough to have a recognizable identity. Dr Dijkgraaf has supplied a comprehensive account of the library and its context and thanks to his elaborate analysis of the contents, we are able to rationalize and justify the presence of each and every book on the shelves."--BOOK JACKET.
Infamous Stains
The Medici theologian and confessor who abuses a twelve-year-old boy; the Capuchin tormented by an exuberant physiology and fantasies about women; the doge who fails because of affairs that do not meet with public approval; the priest who from the confessional engages in carnal relations with his penitents; the convicts serving their sentences in galleys, suspected of sexual misconduct; Adam, rumored to have had unnatural intercourse with Eve, and Cain, thought to have sodomized his son. Whether real or imagined, the actions of these men raise questions and trigger normative reactions. And even when the condemnation is mild, the dismay they provoke is put into words, and limits between licit and illicit, moral and immoral, decent and indecent are drawn. In this continuous process of definition, an elusive object, but no less endowed with the capacity to affect individuals, seems to take shape: an ideal masculinity, defined in relation to the sexed body and its use.
