WASHINGTON LETTER Nov-24-2010 (930 words) Backgrounder. With photo. xxxn
A year of Catholic centennials: Many groups founded in Progressive Era
By Mark Pattison
Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The year 1910 was quite the watershed year for U.S. Catholicism. Catholic Charities USA was founded a hundred years ago. So were the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, followed by the Maryknoll Sisters in 1912. The Crosiers, founded in Europe 700 years ago, decided to place their first outpost in the United States in 1910.
And that's just a sampling of Catholic groups marking their centennial.
What was it that prompted these Catholic organizations to take root in 1910 and not only to withstand the vagaries of the following century but to flourish a century later with an enduring influence on the larger society?
To hear some historians describe it, the growth of Catholic organizations 100 years ago has much to do with the Progressive Era, a period of social activism and reform that had its heyday from the 1890s to the 1920s. Among its leading exponents were presidents, including Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Herbert Hoover, Wisconsin Gov. Robert La Follette Sr., and Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes, who went on to become Chief Justice of the United States.
It was a time marked by women's suffrage, muckraking journalism, trust-busting, constitutional changes, governmental reforms and exposing corruption.
It was also a time when the Vatican no longer considered the United States as missionary territory. This happened in 1907, according to Sinsinawa Dominican Sister Janet Welsh, director of the Mary Nona McGreal Center for Dominican Historical Studies at Dominican University in River Forest, Ill., outside Chicago.
"That has something to do with Maryknoll's beginnings," she said. "Maryknoll was founded to be in mission to other people."
It also was a time when "the Catholics are reaching critical mass in terms of numbers," said Maria Mazzenga, an education archivist for the American Catholic History Research Center and University Archives at The Catholic University of America, Washington. Immigrants flocked to the United States from the largely Catholic countries of Ireland, Poland, Italy and Germany. Immigration restrictions did not take hold in U.S. law until 1924. "There are millions of them at this point and they're becoming more and more American," she added.
At the same time, though, "they're discriminated again by the Protestant organizations," Mazzenga said. "A lot of Protestant reformers are trying to proselytize Catholics and recruit them. This leads to this 'We're going to establish our own institutions. The Protestants can't do it as well as we can for our own people.'" As a result, she added, "they begin to imitate Protestant reforms and bureaucratization."
One example is the Boy Scouts of America, also founded in 1910. Almost immediately after it was organized, a Catholic component to the Scouts was formed in England and quickly made its way across the Atlantic.
Sally Dwyer-McNulty, chair of the history department at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., said in an e-mail to
Catholic News Service
, "Scouting enjoyed the support of certain members of the hierarchy and this gave it a unique imprimatur -- an unexpected one since Catholics and Protestants did not usually cooperate. Scouting had and has a religious component and it encouraged homosocial activity with military-style order. These characteristics made it akin to the priesthood and the hierarchy was eager to encourage masculine esprit de corps among the male youth."
John Farina, an associate professor of religious studies at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., does not buy into the notion that the era was remarkable.
Having an organizationally based Catholic Church at that time, though, "makes perfect sense," Farina said. "It's sort of like 'OK, if we're not going to convert the society through preaching the Gospel, we can do charitable stuff,' and the women of these women's religious orders, they're teaching, they're running hospitals." Any outreach to non-Catholics by Catholics in that time, he added, "you do that through social work, you do that through health care."
Having an organizational structure behind it by the end of World War I might have been helpful to the church and its members, because at that time, as Farina noted, "you have this rebirth of American Protective Association and the Ku Klux Klan. ... The APA was blatantly nativist and anti-Catholic, and the 'new Klan' of the 1920s, in addition to being anti-black, was anti-Catholic and explicit about that."
"If anti-Catholic sentiment had been stronger or the progressive moment not been as strong, not as national, it could have gone the other way if all those pieces had not been in place," said Joseph Curran, an assistant professor of history at Misericordia University in Dallas, Pa.
Curran said historians point to 1910 as "the golden age of the Catholic ghetto, or the golden age of the Catholic neighborhood that would last until the end of the 1950s." But rather than confine themselves to the ghetto, "Catholics began organizing and thinking nationally," he added.
The National Catholic War Council, founded to support U.S. military efforts in World War I and oversee war-related activities in the church, became the National Catholic Welfare Council after the war, but was soon renamed the National Catholic Welfare Conference at the request of the Vatican. In 1966 it was restructured as the National Conference of Catholic Bishops/U.S. Catholic Conference, which is today's U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Catholics also were forming and leading labor unions during this time, too, secure in the knowledge that it was permissible based on Pope Leo XIII's 1891 encyclical "Rerum Novarum" (on capital and labor), Curran added.
Sister Janet from Dominican University recalled one high-profile example of the century-ago separation of Catholics and non-Catholics: "Knute Rockne tried to get Notre Dame into the Big Ten (Conference), but he couldn't do it because there was an anti-Catholic bias."

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Boone, Micahij Leon URN etd-10232010-182149 Document Title Ideology of 'neighbor' : a theology of transformation from a theological-ethical interpretation of Leviticus 19 Degree PhD Department Practical Theology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr L Rinquest Co-Supervisor Prof J C Muller Supervisor Keywords
- xenophobia
- Civil Rights Movement
- Southern Baptist Convention
- Mary Douglas
- ring composition
- ideological criticism
- ubuntu
- theology of transformation
- evangelicals
- social transformation
Date 2010-09-03 Availability unrestricted Abstract Chapter one gives a proposed outline for the research that will develop the theological-ethical dimension of neighbor as discerned from Leviticus 19. This chapter will give the reader an understanding of the purpose, motivation, and a hypothesis for the proposed research. An outline of the impending study will also be highlighted.In chapter two a brief discussion of two events and the evangelical denomination that have shaped my worldview will be highlighted. This chapter will also explore the diverse world of ideological criticism. A look at the wide ranging areas of specialties within ideological criticism will be the focus of this chapter. The way in which ideological criticism will be utilized as an interpretive methodology will be argued alongside Mary Douglas' ring composition as a function of socio-rhetorical criticism.
A grammatical analysis of Leviticus 19 will comprise chapter three. The Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible will be the primary source for this analysis. The exegesis of Leviticus will be the foundation for the study of the proposed topic. The purpose for the historical setting of the writing of Leviticus 19 will be given as well as archaeological evidence describing the societal make-up of the time period.
An alternative interpretative emphasis will be argued in chapter four. Ring composition, as outlined by Mary Douglas, will be the tool utilized for this interpretation for Leviticus 19. This chapter will also explore the ways in which three New Testament characters utilized and contextualized passages from Leviticus 19.
Chapter five will spotlight the recent events of May 2008. This month demonstrated the explosive consequences of unleashed and uncontrolled xenophobic violence. This month saw some of the most terrifying events since the inception of democracy in South Africa. Commentary and deliberation on the causes that sparked this violence will be examined through the eyes of journalists, politicians, citizens, foreigners and religious leaders.
The reluctance of evangelicals to engage in social transformation will be critically analyzed in chapter six. Two movements that polarized the evangelical community will also be addressed. The thrust of this chapter will be the proposed theology of transformation. If this strategy of transformation might be utilized by the evangelical church, sustainable social justice could be possible. This strategy will be presented in a practical, applicable manner. The interrelationship between spiritual and social transformation will conclude this chapter. All of these will be encapsulated within the idea of ubuntu or African hospitality.
Chapter seven will bring to a conclusion the research. There is a short synopsis of past and present religious creeds and statements of faith. The Hitler Effect will be examined in the light of how people focus on the minute differences instead of celebrating their overwhelming similarities. The events of November 2008 in America will be viewed through the refining lenses of society and its effect within greater society. This chapter will conclude with a summary of the study, reflections and future considerations.

Poor Russia. All those dreams of greatness, renewed world position, and (dare we say it) power. For awhile there they looked realistic. Putin was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union President of the Russian Federation Prime Minister for life. Russia had adroitly dominated energy reserves and carved itself into a capitalist (sort of) power. Bear reconnaissance bombers began to harass U.S. naval vessels again, as well as testing the air defenses of the Northeast, to the surprise (and alarm) of the United States. One mission was such a surprise that the craft hit Pennsylvania before being intercepted. The pilots got medals. Someone at NEADS got reassigned to Alaska.
But it was not to be.
Now, with oil $30 a barrel below the budget-balancing level for Russia, and their inability to even blackmail the Ukraine and Europe with natural gas effectively, (no one believes they can leave the spigot off for very long) their dreams of power have slowly slipped away, and Putin, if you can imagine this, is politically vulnerable. The daunting health crisis they have been ignoring is making itself known in ugly ways (really their population is frightfully sickly) and their currency is heading back to 1998 levels as the central bank devalues it (again) this week.
It doesn't help, of course, that concern over their little camping trip in Georgia sucked over $120-$200 billion of foreign investment out of the country. Inflation was over 13% in December.
Of course, the problem is, with circumstances like this, military conquest looks like a nice distraction.
We're not long bomb shelters yet here, but that's only because a certain Goldman partner (who shall remain nameless) promised us spots in his basement in the Hamptons.

Too Ivan, didn't Drago.
If he dies, he dies.
during bull markets, russia is a power who threatens the world balance. in bear markets, russia resembles a colder haiti. get it together comrades.
That's the funny thing with bomb shelters. If you tell people you have one, then when you need to use it there will be 50 people outside banging on your door begging to be let in.
If I can change, YOU can change; EVERYBODY can change!
Med/Put should privatize the businesses it acquired let them build themselves back up to proftable levels through organized crime-then reaquire them.
@4, only until the bomb hits.
Great article EP.
Joke's on you! Gerry's beach house doesn't have a basement!
Russians are just hillbillies who talk funny and use some letters dackwarbs. I like them.
Ken Lewis is a mental case.
Military conquest requires a military capable of something more than minor regional engagements. Like slaughtering some Chechnyans or smacking down Georgia's half-assed army.
Russia's military is a joke. -
@11 – "dackwarbs" – hilarious!
Can someone provide proof of this bomber incident? A brief GNS didn't turn anything up for me other than that dealbreaker is considered a news site by google.
The Hamptons are downwind, EP. Best to head upstate, beyond the pines, the bear has no interest in Schenectady plus its closer to Canada
"The Hamptons are downwind, EP."
The vast majority of fallout is depleted in two weeks, unless some psycho does cobalt salting (5+ year half life). I've been snowed-in in Austria for longer. As long as it (and the company) is warm, no sweat! -
what a buch of douchebags

the post is a very poor attempt by an imbecile who things he knows how world politics works. if i need a polit breakdown i'll read something else; for street gossip you are #1, but stay away from politics, you are embarrassing yourself.
Let's not fight the last war.
Russian nukes were initially a first strike deterrent and a political counterpoise. In the 60s they became an effort to detach the US from its European allies, thwarted by the NATO structure and the placement of intermediate and battlefield nukes.
It's going to be a long time before the Russians can afford an army that can threaten Europe to begin with. Even if they did, a unified, rebuilt Germany probably wouldn't need our help anyway.
Russia will be a real problem for its neighbors, but they won't be nuking us. I'm much more worried about the Iranian scenarios.
PS I hope the incompetent is cleaning toilets in Alaska, it's the last place we'd want a bad radar operator. -
So we can expect to see lots more spam for russian mail order brides?
Guys from my high school used to wait out radioactive fallout in a bomb shelter after nuclear holocaust all the time, it was no big deal.

Oh my, Miss Monroe, what a big head you have!
When we speak of Marilyn Monroe, we certainly think of the beautiful Hollywood star in her best blond bombshell self, looking gorgeous in every single photo — except, perhaps, in the photo above! Well, okay, not really. We have to admit she still looks quite good and cute while pulling off that goofy face in front of a fun house mirror — engorged, alien-like head and all!

Along w/the cinder blocks, extended flower beds - two not shown - I've started a grotto/shrine in my back yard and also a 36" plaque of fish to go behind the new fountain. I also finished the base of my DD's birdbath, and need to mosaic the bowl. Other things keep getting in the way - like WEEDS!!!

I'm so glad to see your post! Wondered what you were doing. What a treat to see your wonderful garden! YOU are such an amazing inspiration! Love the blocks.. and the birdbath.. and and and... ! Quick question. I'm about to start with some broken dishes... do you tumble your pieces? I guess I'm trying to not... but don't want to make something that will be a hazard in the yard. Again... loved looking at your pictures! K. |

When I came on tonight I was thinking about you and thinking I hadn't seen you for a while. And here you are with all your wonderful projects! OOOOOOHHHHH...AAAAAAAHHHHHH! How I love your gardens, and everything in them! We've been so busy with strawberries, and building a public restroom (so far entirely MY project other than the plumbing!) I haven't done anything except walk past my strawberry birdbath a couple dozen times a day. MAYBE I'll get to grout it this week... |

Oh Lady! Grout that Strawberry...PLEASE!!! SLOW! Good to see what you've been up to lately, it is a busy time of year isn't it??!! I Love the hearts too and the green on the niche. Is that a new fountain? I have so much to do to catch up with you as far the the yard is concerned..like NT says..40hrs would help!lol! I really like the idea of adding height to the garden like you have with your towers and pots! I just fixed my irrigation system and now it's raining cats and dogs today! Speaking of dogs, that's a cutie peeking out from near the gate in one of your pics! |

Wow Slow! You've been a busy Queen! I like the new fountain and how you have all the pedistals around it! Things really have filled in since March. Everything looks wonderful. Oh, Shea's bird bath is stunning! I love the green inside. You did a great job on the flowers..and the whole design! |

Thanks, y'all. Really enjoy being outside when I tear myself away from mosaicing. It's always an argument w/myself when I begin the day - inside stuff or outside. It's raining today, so don't have to argue - it's INSIDE MOSAICS. FIDDLE - no tumbling here, and once grouted, things are pretty smooth. RONNIE - when I think of you, I think BUSY this time of year. Anxious to see your BB grouted and in place. CALAM - yes - new fountain - got tired of worrying w/the old one - flow wasn't constant. Weeding is NEVER done all at the same time. Seems somebody keeps increasing the maintenance for the head gardner here. For me, buying plants is almost as much an addiction as mosaicing. Thanks for looking. |
Your garden is GORGEOUS!! I agree with Jane... my garden needs some vertical art, too. That could be an inside project for when it gets too cold... like you working on the grotto cuz it's raining. You're garden is looking so tidy and now all I can think of is what a mess mine looks like! I tend to let everything get overgrown and leggy. I'm TERRIBLE at cutting back. Not ruthless enough though I know it's so much better for the shrubs when you give them a trim. And it's so nice to see real grass. We just have a collection of weeds we mow and call grass. HA! Your garden is very inviting and the artwork adds so much interest. Love the grotto. Do you know what's going inside and is that a surprise for us? Do you have a special place picked out in the garden for it? And who is that adorable puppy peeking through the slats? So many questions... so little time. And I 'tawk' too much!! HAHA |
It's so fun to have a catch-up of what you're doing. You do such beautiful work and are such an inspiration. The birdbath is unique and beautiful, and it makes me think in new ways. Thank you for the new pics and update note! |
I'm going to shamelessly copy some of your designs. I need those wonderful stepping stones for starters! PJ |

How did I miss this Slow?? I was wondering where you were . I see you have been very very busy... Everything is fitting for a Queen!! The gardens are so fabulous, the new birdbath is so wonderful, with all kinds of eye candy to look at. I love it!! The grotto is fantastic and your little puppy is so adorable. You sure know how to do bring an artistic flare to your home and gardens. Keep showing us all of those projects and giving me inspiration!! |

I commented on your mishap, CRACK, on the discussion side - so sorry - but thanks for the compliment. Y'all - I haven't taken pictures of the grotto WIP - what y'all are calling the grotto is my new fountain. Y'all sure make me feel good. Thank y'all - each one - for your wonderful encouragement and compliments. PJ - REAL compliment when someone wants to copy my designs. Copy away - love that. |
What a beautiful garden you have, I want to walk right into the pictures as I sit here. I love that rose growing through the white fence, do you know what kind it is? Not that it would make a difference, I'm sure it wouldn't look like that for me, LOL! |

It changes daily, PANTHER: Day Lilies are in bloom now everywhere, w/lots more to come. Even the newly-planted Canas are in buds and are ready to pop any day. I even have a new little rose bush I took off one of the bush roses - forgot it's name - Fairy, I think - it was just a twig and had a few roots, so I stuck it in the ground, sorta neglected watering it daily, and lo - today it has leafed out. Along w/it being an antique rose, and very strong, lots of rain lately helped it, I'm sure. The rose on the back fence is Red Cascade. Most of my roses came from Antique Rose Emporium - mail order - in Brenham, TX. They ship from October/April. |
Slow Was wondering what you had been up to lady. As always though your creative mind is an amazing place to visit! I especially love, love ,love this guy. |

Well, how nice to see your comment, HRSG. Thank you. Gotta work outside today. Working outside so much lately that I'm in a mosaicing slump, so gotta stay w/it. So much has been neglected cuz of the mosaicing fever. |

Specifications, Availability and Pricing
The Transcend Ultra Series uses the Indilinx Barefoot controller with 64MB cache and Samsung MLC NAND flash memory. This has been the defacto standard for most of the drives we have tested this past year. The Transcend Ultra reported in Crystal Disk Info support for the TRIM command when used on our Windows 7 test system so Transcend is shipping the drives with the latest firmware.
As mentioned in the introduction, Transcend is shipping the drives in two configurations, the 120GB and 60GB models. Pricing is a bit sketchy since not many shops are carrying the drives at this point, but the cheapest I was able to find the 120GB for was 413.99 and the 60GB for 239.00 at Newegg. After searching Newegg for other 120GB drives they only list the OCZ Summit as costing less than the 120GB Ultra and it uses the Samsung controller and is not as well suited for Windows 7 single drive configurations. That leaves the Transcend Ultra 120GB sitting in a good spot price wise when compared to the competition.
Let's move on and see if the drive is able to deliver the same level of performance as the other Barefoot drives we have tested thus far.
