Abstract

Over the course of the twentieth century, Catholics, who make up a quarter of the population of the United States, made significant contributions to American culture, politics, and society. They built powerful political machines in Chicago, Boston, and New York; led influential labor unions; created the largest private school system in the nation; and established a vast network of hospitals, orphanages, and charitable organizations. Yet in both scholarly and popular works of history, the distinctive presence and agency of Catholics as Catholics is almost entirely absent. In this book, R. Scott Appleby and Kathleen Sprows Cummings bring together American historians of race, politics, social theory, labor, and gender to address this lacuna, detailing in cogent and wide-ranging essays how Catholics negotiated gender relations, raised children, thought about war and peace, navigated the workplace and the marketplace, and imagined their place in the national myth of origins and ends. A long overdue corrective, Catholics in the American Century restores Catholicism to its rightful place in the American story.

Abstract

Mandell Creighton's five-volume study of the papacy during the Reformation was first published between 1882 and 1894. Lytton Strachey paid an indirect compliment to Creighton's work by remarking that 'the biscuit is certainly dry; but at any rate there are no weevils'. Creighton was an academic and an ordained Anglican. Having studied at Oxford and spent time in the parish of Embleton in Northumberland, he was appointed the first Dixie Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge, became Bishop of Peterborough and ended his career as Bishop of London. Volume 1 describes the developments within the Catholic church that led to the 'Babylonian Captivity of the Popes' in Avignon, and then focuses on the Council of Constance. Creighton juxtaposes very detailed accounts of the various popes with a narrative of the early reformation movements across Europe, from Oxford and Paris to Bohemia.

Abstract

Face aux modèles alexandrin et constantinopolitain, le Siège de Rome met ses prétentions à l’épreuve des réalités ecclésiales de l’Empire romain d’Orient entre 448 et 536. Comme l’a précisé le pape Léon (440-461), Rome vise alors à l’exercice réfléchi d’une primauté fondée sur le principe de sollicitude pour toutes les Églises. Son éloignement, sa situation périphérique à l’égard des principaux centres de décision lui confèrent une réelle liberté de parole et une certaine capacité d’intervention, limitée toutefois par la difficulté à mobiliser durablement ses partisans sur les différents théâtres d’opération. Jusqu’en 536, en effet, Rome ne relève pas de l’administration directe de l’Empire romain d’Orient. Aussi, durant cette période particulière de son histoire, le Siège apostolique peut-il exprimer un vif essor identitaire. La querelle miaphysite en constitue à la fois la première des conditions et le lieu décisif de vérification. Or, on observe une réelle distance entre énoncé et effectuation du discours romain, ce qui conduit à une certaine adaptation, même si elle demeure masquée. L'Égypte, en effet, demeure hors de portée des entreprises romaines tandis que l'Orient antiochien s’éloigne et que Jérusalem, jugée peu fiable, paraît réduite à un rôle secondaire. Reste Constantinople, centrale malgré toutes les dénégations romaines : la confrontation qui en découle conforte un peu plus la place de l'Illyricum en tant qu’enjeu géo-ecclésiologique d’importance.
