The Contemporary Augustinian “Minor Chorus” in Catholic Social Theory
Against the backdrop of the new pontificate of the Augustinian Leo XIV, this paper offers a survey of the ideas of the leading Catholic Augustinian political theorists of the past half century who have shared an opposition to the project of synthesizing the Thomist and Liberal political traditions. The paper is not asserting that Pope Leo XIV himself holds such positions, merely that given his Augustinian affinities, and given the contemporary in…
Theodor Steinbüchel's Great Figures of Christian Humanism
Theodor Steinbüchel (1888–1949) offers a study of eight figures in Western history who may be regarded as gestalts of Christian Humanism. He argued that none of these eight figures will ever return in the same way, but since there was an eternal conception of Christianity to which their ethos gave human form, each of these gestalts can be imitated in a new way in subsequent eras. Foundational to his presentation of the Christian Humanism of the e…
Catholic Education, the Virtue of Hope and the Primacy of a Trinitarian Theological Anthropology
This paper argues that Catholic Education needs to be based on the foundation of Trinitarian theological anthropology. It explains where this fits within the architectonic framework of Catholic systematic theology. Trinitarian theological anthropology is the work of the theological virtues (faith, hope and love), operating upon faculties of the soul (intellect, memory and will) in pursuit of the transcendental properties of being (truth, beauty a…
The Relationship between Philosophy and Theology in Inter-War German Catholic Scholarship
This paper provides an introduction to the thought of four German Catholic philosophers of the inter-war era described by Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI as the most influential on his generation of seminarians. The focus of the article is on how they understood the relationship between theology and philosophy
"Cathedral" of Catholic Theology
In the third decade of the twenty-first century the “cathedral” of Catholic theology has suffered some structural assaults and the way forward is a contemporary “hot topic”. This paper argues against the idea, common among Catholics of the millennial generation, that we simply need to “reboot” the system to 1959 and restore the framework of “Strict Observance Neo-Scholasticism”. Instead it suggests that attention needs to be given to the structur…
Joseph Ratzinger as Doctor of Incarnate Beauty
This paper argues that Joseph Ratzinger is a theologian with the stature of a Church Doctor, notwithstanding the fact that he did not develop a theological system in the manner of other ‘big name’ theologians of the twentieth century such as Karl Barth, Karl Rahner and Hans Urs von Balthasar. The author argues that it is Ratzinger’s manner of responding to the contemporary crisis in fundamental theology that is his outstanding intellectual contri…
Feminism from the Perspective of Catholic Theology

Sex influence on myocardial function with exercise in adolescents
OBJECTIVES: Ventricular systolic functional response to exercise has been reported to be superior in adult men compared to women. This study explored myocardial responses to maximal upright progressive exercise in late pubertal males and females. METHODS: Doppler echocardiographic techniques were utilized to estimate myocardial function response to a bout of progressive cycle exercise. RESULTS: Systolic functional capacity, as indicated by ejecti…
The Contribution of the Polish Intelligentsia to the Breakthrough of 1989
In his recollections of the events of June 1979, the former Solidarity advisor Adam Michnik has described this moment in history as a time of three Polish miracles. First, John Paul II returns triumphantly to Poland as the Pope, making a mockery of Stalin's jibe about the Pope having no divisions; then the second miracle occurs a little more than a year later in August 1980, when Lech Walcsa leads the shipyard strike and the first non-communist t…

Culture and the Thomist Tradition
Thomism's influence upon the development of Catholicism is difficult to overestimate - but how secure is its grip on the challenges that face contemporary society? Culture and the Thomist Tradition examines the crisis of Thomism today as thrown into relief by Vatican II, the twenty-first ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church. Following the Church's declarations on culture in the document Gaudium et spes - the Pastoral Constitution on th…
Cardiac dynamics during upright cycle exercise in boys
Insight into the cardiac responses to exercise necessitates an understanding of both physiological data and cardiac dimensional changes. This study was designed to assess cardiovascular alterations during progressive upright cycle exercise in ten healthy 10-12-year-old boys. Doppler echocardiography was used to estimate stroke volume, and 2-dimensional echocardiography was used to evaluate changes in left ventricular systolic and diastolic dimens…
