Catholic Social Learning: Educating the Faith That Does Justice

NOTES

NOTES Preface 1. See Daniel K. Lapsley and Darcia Narvaez, eds., Moral Development, Self, and Identity (Mahwah, N.J.:Lawrence Erlbaum, 2004), which includes my ‘‘Identity as Motivation : Toward a Theory of the Moral Self,’’ 21–46. 2. A standard collection is David J. O’Brien & Thomas A. Shannon, eds. Catholic Social Thought: The Documentary Heritage (Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis, 1992). 3. ‘‘Faithjustice’’ is shorthand for ‘‘the faith that does justice’’ and social Catholicism generally. See, for example, the excellent book by Fred Kammer, S.J., with its double entendre title, Doing Faithjustice: An Introduction to Catholic Social Thought, 2nd Ed. (New York: Paulist Press, 2004). 1. Personal Encounter: The Only Way 1. Carolyn Forché, The Country Between Us (New York: Harper & Row, 1981), 16. Used with the gracious permission of the author. 2. The Atlacatl Battalion, which was responsible for the murders of the six Jesuits and two women at the University of Central America in San Salvador on November 16, 1989, was ‘‘an elite group organized by U.S. trainers in the early 1980s as a crack 兩 163 兩 164 兩 Notes to pages 4–5 counter-terrorism force, and has been frequently implicated in human rights abuses. The most famous was the massacre of over seven hundred civilians in the town of Morazón in 1981, immediately following the battlion’s initial training at Fr. Benning, Georgia. A professor at the army training school once joked that ‘we’ve had a hard time getting [them] to take prisoners instead of ears.’’’ Stan Granot Duncan, from his ‘‘Introduction: The Crime,’’ in Jon Sobrino, Ignacio Ellacurı́a, and Others, Companions of Jesus: The Jesuit Martyrs of El Salvador (Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 1990), xv. As I heard Forché read ‘‘The Colonel’’ in March of 1980, apparently the collecting of ears preceded (but continued with) the formation of the Atlacatl Battalion. 3. See the biography by James R. Brockman, Romero: A Life: The Essential Biography of a Modern Martyr and Christian Hero (Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 2005). Also see Dean Brackley, S.J., The University and Its Martyrs: Hope from Central America, 3rd ed. (San Salvador: Centro Monseñor Romero, Universidad Centroamericano ‘‘Jose Simeón Cañas,’’ 2008) for an extensive bibliography on El Salvador and Central America. 4. For an overview of this sea change in Latin American Catholicism, see Curt Cadorette, M.M., ‘‘Medellin’’ and ‘‘Puebla,’’ in The New Dictionary of Catholic Social Thought, ed. Judith A. Dwyer (Collegeville, Minn.; Michael Glazier, 1994), 590–94 and 797–801, respectively. 5. The writings of and about liberation theology are vast. For a brief overview, see the entry by Gustavo Gutiérrez in The New Dictionary of Catholic Social Thought, 548–53. See the following footnote. 6. Gutiérrez is often called the ‘‘father’’ of liberation theology because of his seminal book, A Theology of Liberation (Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 1988; originally published in Spanish in 1971 and in English in 1973). 7. Jon Sobrino, S.J., Christology at the Crossroads (Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 1978). Sobrino is the premier liberation Christologian; see his more recent books, Jesus the Liberator: A Historical-Theological Reading of Jesus of Nazareth and Christ the Liberator: A View from the Victims (Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 1993 and 2001, respectively). 8. Juan Luis Segundo, S.J., The Liberation of Theology (Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 1976). 9.

The standard collection of documents by the popes and bishops on ‘‘the social question’’ is David J. O’Brien and Thomas A. Shannon, ed., Catholic Social Thought: The Documentary Heritage (Maryknoll, N.Y.: 1992). All citations of CST documents will be to the texts as found in this volume and will use abbreviations of the titles and paragraph number (or page number when paragraphs are not numbered, as in JW). The texts are also available online at various locations. A Web site tied to what its editor, Kenneth R. Himes, O.F.M., justly calls ‘‘the standard reference work for the major documents of Catholic social teaching,’’ Modern Catholic Social Teaching: Commentaries and Interpretations Notes to pages 5–14 兩 165 (Washington, D.C.: Georgetown, 2005), can be found at http://www2.bc.edu/⬃khimes/ publications/mcst. 11.
