War, Resistance and Counter-Resistance in Modern Times
These essays on war, resistance and counter resistance represent an original approach to understanding how political constraints on human behavior, and the resistance movements to which these restrictions give rise, produce counter-resistant forces which represent new constraints, which in turn often generate new and innovative behaviors which sometimes create new crystallizations of cultural expression and occasionally influence institutions and traditions. This new anthology offers a unique analysis of the important role political constraints play in the production of creative thinking and the development of systematic projects aimed at human liberation. In the preface, Francis Feeley clea...
The Coup at Catholic University
1968 witnessed perhaps the greatest revolution in the history of the Catholic Church in the United States. It was led by Fr. Charles Curran, professor of Theology at the Catholic University of America in Washington, with more than 500 theologians who signed a "Statement of Dissent" that declared Catholics were not bound in conscience to follow the Church's teaching in the encyclical of Pope Paul VI,Humanae Vitae, that artificial contraception is morally wrong because it is destructive of the good of Christian marriage. The battle at Catholic University centered on the major question in Catholic higher education during the turbulent years after the Second Vatican Council, "What is the meaning...

Toil and Transcendence
By the end of the Civil War, barely four million Catholics lived on American soil. A century later, more than 43 million Americans were Catholic, making the Church a dominant force in American culture and politics. The twentieth century was a springtime for the American Church, which witnessed the dramatic expansion of American dioceses, with towering new churches erected even blocks apart. Catholic schools were swiftly built to accommodate the influx of Catholic schoolchildren, and convents and monasteries blossomed as vocations soared. The Catholic hierarchy and laity factored into many of the great stories of twentieth-century America, which are told here by one of our country's foremost experts on Catholic American history, Fr. Charles Connor. In these informative and entertaining pages, you'll learn: What motivated the virulent
Hesburgh of Notre Dame
Theodore Martin Hesburgh, C.S.C. (1917-2015) was the most widely recognized priest and university president of the twentieth century. His tenure as the leader of the University of Notre Dame not only spanned 35 years (1952-1987) but also arched across the most tumultuous era in the history of higher education—the late 1960s through the early 1970s. During those years, the university’s faculty grew from 350 to 950, enrollment climbed from 4,979 to 9,600, the annual operating budget went from $9.7 million to $176 million, the endowment jumped from $9 million to $350 million, and funding for research soared from $735,000 to $15 million. Over 40 new buildings were also added during his presi...
La spiritualité dans les organisations
Le phénomène des " entrepreneurs chrétiens ", d'origine autant américaine qu'européenne, s'est répandu un peu partout dans le monde vers la fin des années 1960. Les entrepreneurs chrétiens ou les dirigeants chrétiens assument les fonctions de direction en intégrant leurs valeurs et croyances religieuses, plus ou moins ouvertement, dans leur entreprise. Dans cet ouvrage, la prière est vue comme un acte par lequel nous manifestons une dimension particulière de nous-mêmes : notre " être-devant-Dieu ". Il est question des caractéristiques principales des différents types de prière (demande, remerciement, louange...) qui sont au cœur de la spiritualité des dirigeants chrétiens...
Étudier la religion au Québec : regards d’ici et d’ailleurs
Affirmer que nous sommes au seuil d’une nouvelle époque dans l’étude scientifique du religieux au Québec serait sans doute exagéré. Quelques observations le suggèrent néanmoins : reconfigurations institutionnelles dont les effets demeurent difficiles à évaluer (fermetures de facultés et ouvertures de centres, écoles ou instituts), intérêt renouvelé pour l’objet religieux chez les universitaires qui n’identifient pourtant pas leurs travaux comme relevant des sciences des religions ou de la théologie, entrée en scène d’une génération de chercheurs ayant intégré un nouvel habitus professionnel (internationalisation des parcours, multiplication des publications, fi...
Histoire du Fonds Gérard-Dion
L'ouvrage fait l'historique d'un des premiers fonds privé de recherche au Québec. Une première partie (1969-1990) porte sur la vie et l'oeuvre du mécène lui-même, Gérard Dion, professeur à l'Université Laval. La seconde partie (1990-1993) traite de la pérennité de la fondation après le décès de M. Dion, son transfert comme fonds spécifique à l'intérieur de la Fondation de l'Université Laval. La dernière partie (1993-2004) analyse la mise en place des nouvelles structures et du nouveau cadre de fonctionnement du Fonds, voué à la recherche en théologie et en sciences religieuses. [SDM].
