  • First Black Students at Loyola University: A Strategy to Obtain Teacher Certification

    Joseph H FichterARTICLEThe Journal of Negro Education1987

    As early as 1906, a teachers' certificate could be obtained Louisiana, but it was not available to Black teachers because of the system of racial discrimination, and few White teachers bothered to apply for it. Ten years later, September 1916, the State Board of Education officially set up teacher requirements, but with no mechanism of enforcement. It was not until 1921 that the revised Louisiana State Constitution firmly established a new State …

  • The Dilemma of Priest Retirement

    Joseph H FichterARTICLEJournal for the Scientific Study…1985Cited by: 1

    The simple statistics of a growing Catholic population requiring ministry of a declining number of aging portray a critical shortage. Kenneth Woodward (1983) predicted that the Catholic priesthood threatens to become a geriatric society. Father Robert Sherry, director of Bishops' Committee on Vocations, put it simply: The American Catholic Church is running out of priests (1983: 472). The dilemma becomes more acute as younger clergy abandon pries…

  • The Myth of Clergy Burnout

    Joseph H FichterARTICLESociological Analysis1984Cited by: 3

    Research studies by Selye, Sarason and Machlowitz indicate that the “burnout syndrome” is neither as novel nor as prevalent as popular journalistic writers suggest.

The data from the national sample of 4,660 Catholic priests (both diocesan and religious) reveal that a minority of 6.2% may be t…
