Although he was a major figure in the early development of the Cistercian movement, liturgical veneration for St. Stephen Harding (†1134) seldom took place in the Middle Ages. Legends rarely discuss him. But in the Early Modern Period, he was "discovered" and credited more and more with being the sole author of the Carta Caritatis, although there were certainly other authors. This article shows how Stephen's personality was assessed differently from one era to the next.
The Münster dissertation was accepted by Bruno Schüller (1925-2007) in 1984. The author, Lucius Iwejuru Ugorji, was appointed Archbishop of Owerri in 2022. He is the president of the Nigerian Bishops' Conference. He published several works on moral theology since receiving his doctorate. Ugorji's doctoral thesis has received extraordinarily positive reviews from international experts. Nevertheless, a close reading reveals several problems concerning scientific ethics. This essay uses seven tables to document Ugorji's unacknowledged use of texts by other authors. Several passages are identical to popular reference works. Ugorji's book also contains numerous unacknowledged passages that can be found verbatim in an American dissertation published in 1935. In view of these facts, the research value of the Münster dissertation is open to discussion, as are the academic qualifications of its author.
The Work of Fr. Raymond Flanagan, OCSO, Author of Historical Novels, Devotional Books, and Pamphlets
(2021)
Father Mary Raymond Flanagan (1903–1990), a monk of Gethsemani Abbey, was the widely- read author of dozens of books and pamphlets particularly popular in the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s. Numbering in the dozens, his publications were characterized by a hard-hitting, vigorous Catholic piety that accentuated American family values, fidelity to Catholic traditions, the beauty of religious vocations, anti-Communism, and the athletic asceticism he associated with the first Cistercians. His works lost their appeal to a wide audience during the cultural shift of the late 1960s and later, but several of his writings have been reissued in recent years.
This essay includes a short biography and a bibliography of Flanagan's books and pamphlets.
