SUMMARY:Undocumenting Abuse: Migration\, Power\, and the Production of Invisible Victims
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Susan B. Reynolds\, Ph.D.\, Winner of the 2024 New Scholar Essay Prize for Catholic Studies in the Americas. \nClergy sexual violence in immigrant communities is an understudied dimension of the abuse crisis in the Catholic Church. Yet records reveal how immigrant-serving parishes were regularly treated as dumping grounds for serially abusive clergy. There\, abusers targeted children from poor\, vulnerable\, and undocumented families\, silencing victims with threats of deportation and further violence. This lecture will call for a reorientation in the study of clergy sexual abuse toward these peripheries. Drawing on archival records from the 1960s to 1980s\, it will interrogate the complex politics of documentation at work in migrant abuse cases. It will further examine how a post-Vatican II theological and pastoral imagination of intimacy with the poor\, refracted through prisms of state\, ecclesial\, and clerical dominance\, helped to create conditions for the production of invisible victims.

SUMMARY:Webinar Series on Confronting Clergy Sexual Abuse: "Taking Responsibility"
DESCRIPTION:Fordham’s ongoing “Taking Responsibility: Jesuit Educational Institutions Confront the Causes and Legacy of Clergy Sexual Abuse” project is sponsoring two spring webinars. \nPart I: Memorializing Clergy Sexual Abuse \nJoin us for an interdisciplinary conversation about the ethics\, means\, and meanings of public memorials related to clergy sexual abuse. \nIn this webinar\, three scholars will explore questions about whether\, when\, and how communities can contend with the history and memory of the Roman Catholic clergy sex abuse crisis. With expertise in trauma studies\, liturgy\, theology\, and history\, our panelists ask about the ethics\, means\, and meanings of various efforts to remember clergy sex abuse\, as well as those who suffered and defied it. \nPart II: Whose Stories Are They? Catholic Sex Abuse Records and the Issue of Transparency \nSpringing from a recent legal settlement that promised an abuse documents archive in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe\, this webinar asks questions about the meanings\, limits\, and promise of “transparency” in the effort to understand and ameliorate the Catholic clergy abuse crisis. \nWhat is to be learned\, gained\, and achieved in opening up the archives of Catholic sex abuse? What kind of healing follows from transparency\, if any? Beyond respecting the wishes of survivors who prefer privacy\, are there any other limitations to consider? What does transparency have to do with Catholic theology or with the practices and disciplines of Catholic experience? \nJoin us as four experts—an archivist\, a canon lawyer\, a survivors’ attorney\, and a historian—tackle these and related questions. \nEmail takingresponsibility@fordham.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:Author Rachel Swarns onThe 272: The Families Who Were Enslaved and Sold to Build the American Catholic Church
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Swarns will discuss her new book\, The 272\, which follows one family through nearly two centuries of indentured servitude and enslavement to illuminate the harrowing origin story of Georgetown University and the Catholic Church in the United States. Through the saga of the Mahoney family\, Swarns illustrates how the Church relied on slave labor and slave sales in Maryland to sustain its operations and to help finance its expansion. Torn apart by a Jesuit slave sale in 1838 and reunited by Swarns’ reporting in 2016\, the Mahoney descendants have joined other GU272 descendants who have pressed Georgetown and the Catholic Church to make amends\, prodding the institutions to break new ground in the movement for reparations and reconciliation in America.

SUMMARY:An Integral Ethic of Solidarity: Cardinal Blase Cupich on the Enduring Legacy of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin
DESCRIPTION:Forty years after Cardinal Bernardin’s landmark speech at Fordham University in which he set out a “consistent ethic of life\,” his successor as Archbishop of Chicago continues to broaden the conversation first begun in 1983. \nThe timing of this talk could not be more propitious: Pope Francis has been promoting a “seamless garment” view of Catholic teaching throughout his decade-long pontificate\, arguing that all life is sacred and that Catholics cannot prioritize one issue at the expense of others. Moreover\, the Dobbs decision created a new landscape regarding abortion\, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is set to debate an updated version of its guide for Catholic voters ahead of next year’s elections. \nIn this talk\, Cardinal Blase Cupich will amplify the vision of both the pope and Cardinal Bernardin\, setting it in the contemporary American context and pointing toward a path beyond the culture wars. \nCardinal Cupich was appointed the ninth Archbishop of Chicago by Pope Francis in 2014\, and the pope elevated him to the College of Cardinals in November 2016. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate a discussion after the talk\, including questions from the audience.

SUMMARY:Gregory K. Hillis Talks Thomas Merton\, and What His Affair with a Nurse Taught Him About Love and Humility
DESCRIPTION:We learned from Thomas Merton’s private journals—published 25 years after his death—of an affair Merton had in the summer of 1966 with a nurse (“M”) who cared for him after a medical procedure. If we take seriously Merton’s status and contributions as a Catholic thinker\, then Merton’s description of his relationship with “M” needs to be considered. And from Merton’s account\, we not only get a sense of his own shortcomings\, but we see him honestly grappling with those shortcomings. Merton wrestled with his own failures and did so in journals he knew would be published without restrictions. Merton’s unwillingness to be known apart from his foibles\, apart from the complexity of who he was as a human being striving to do God’s will\, manifests a level of humility that merits recognition. \nThis lecture will delve into Merton’s account of his relationship with “M\,” not to defend this relationship or to give it a sympathetic treatment\, but rather to explore what Merton’s account tells us about how he viewed himself\, his relationship with God\, and his relationship with his fellow monks in light of this affair.

SUMMARY:The Power of the Crucified: Insights from Liberation & Womanist Theology
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture presented by Andrew Prevot\, Boston College. \nTheologians have discerned the presence of the crucified Christ in oppressed peoples. They have wrestled with challenging questions about how to understand such crucified groups not only as victims but also as Christologically empowered agents of salvation. Drawing on the works of Ignacio Ellacuría and M. Shawn Copeland\, this paper develops a liberationist\, womanist perspective on the power of the crucified.

SUMMARY:“Unearthing Buried Narratives: Reconstructing the Experiences of Enslaved People Through Jesuit Records”
DESCRIPTION:Recalling the Catholic enslaved experience reveals new patterns about enslavement within the Catholic Church and the instrumental ways enslaved people formed community\, resisted their enslavement\, and shaped their faith. Prize-winning scholar Kelly L. Schmidt\, Ph.D.\, invites the audience to engage with records about enslaved people in Jesuit archives\, cross-referencing them and reading against the grain to discover the limitations resulting from enslaved people being prevented from keeping records about their own lives.

SUMMARY:2021 Fordham Reads Dante Lecture: “What’s a Dante Theme Park? Reading and Writing The Divine Comedy Into the American Present”
DESCRIPTION:Writer and professor Randy Boyagoda\, Ph.D.\, University of Toronto\, has been reading a canto of The Divine Comedy every day for the past five years while writing a novel about people building a Dante theme park in an opioid-ravaged American small town. In this talk and reading from his new novel\, Dante’s Indiana\, he will reflect on what it means to imagine contemporary life with and through Dante’s vision of eternal sinners and saints. In turn\, he will consider what the perils and promises of Inferno and Paradiso mean for our own lives in a purgatorial-feeling here and now.
