Bibliography: pages 191-212. / This is a study of the National Catholic Federation of Students (NCFS), an organisation that sought to bring together Catholic students on South African university campuses, examining specifically NCFS' political ideas and activities from 1960 to 1987. The underlying supposition of this thesis is that church history ought to be an integral part of the discipline of history, and that there is a need to write church history from "below" from the perspectives of the "people's church", the church that comprises the religious experience of the majority of its members rather than its hierarchy.

The thesis offers an examination of the use of the Bible in Viens vers le Pere, a Catholic catechetical series published between 1964 and 1969 for use in the primary schools of Quebec. It enjoyed great popularity from the 1960s to the 1980s and was translated into several languages and used in some fourteen countries. The series places particular emphasis on the use of the Bible in catechesis. The thesis investigates the method of biblical interpretation underpinning these catechetical resources and constitutes the first indepth study of the series. Developments in educational psychology and Catholic theology from the first half of the $20 sp{ rm th}$ century influence the use and interpretation of the Bible in this series. The thesis concludes that the Bible and typical experiences of young children are exploited as a means for presenting and understanding doctrine. / From a hermeneutical perspective, the thesis offers an exercise in metacriticism. The thesis suggests an alternative to the exploitation of the Bible and the experiences of the audience as a means to clarify doctrine. It concludes that catechesis should engender a dialogue between the scriptural world and the child's world in hopes of an encounter which would elucidate both.

This thesis reports on and analyses the first fifty years, 1887-1937, of the Sisters of Saint Joseph’s ministry in Tasmania. The design of the study is qualitative in nature, employing ethnographic techniques with a thematic approach to the narrative. Through a multifaceted approach the main figures of the Josephite story of the first fifty years are examined. The thesis attempts to redress the imbalance of the representation of women in Australian history and the Catholic Church in particular. The thesis is that as a uniquely Australian congregation the Tasmanian Sisters of St Joseph were focused on the preservation of the original spirit and tradition articulated at their foundation rather than on the development of a unique Tasmanian identity. The thesis argues that it was the formative period that impacted on their future development and the emerging myths contributed to their search for identity. Isolated from their foundations through separation and misunderstanding, they sought security and authenticity through their conservation of the original Rule. The intervention of cofounder Father Tenison Woods in the early months of their foundation served to consolidate a distinctive loyalty to him to the exclusion of Mary MacKillop. Coupled with the influence of Woods were the Irish and intercolonial influences of significant Sisters from other foundations which militated against the emergence of a distinctive Tasmanian leadership. As a Diocesan Congregation the Tasmanian Josephites achieved status as authentic religious within Tasmania and yet were constrained by their Diocesan character. The study identifies the factors that contributed to their development as a teaching Congregation through the impact of the Teacher and Schools’ Registration Act 1906, influence of government regulations on the Woods-MacKillop style of education, and the commitment of the Church to provide Catholic education in the remote areas of Tasmania. The thesis identifies two major formative periods as occurring at the instigation of Archbishops Delany and Simonds at both the foundation and then more significantly after the consolidation phase at the end of the period under examination.

Identifica e explica os posicionamentos políticos da Santa Sé e da liderança eclesiástica brasileira diante da laicização estatal, à luz da política de Estado pontifícia, que já vinha sendo implantada desde o final do século XIX, com Leão XIII, sendo mantida e intensificada no período que é foco deste estudo. Busca compreender e elucidar a atuação da Secretaria de Estado da Santa Sé como órgão responsável pela implantação da política externa pontifícia e pela gestão do plano de expansão e de fortalecimento internacional da Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana no Brasil. Analisa a romanização a partir de uma visão política, como uma forma de alinhamento institucional e doutrinário das Igrejas locais às orientações da Santa Sé, no concernia às relações com o Estado Brasileiro. Pragmaticamente, tal processo de romanização envolvia a consolidação de um modelo organizacional com características homogêneas, com procedimentos comuns e uniformizados, com o objetivo de “cerrar fileiras” contra a contínua laicização das instituições públicas e civis e contra o avanço do comunismo. Identifica e relaciona a influência da Igreja Católica na política interna brasileira / This study describes and analyzes the political insertion strategies of the Roman Catholic Church in the Brazilian State, particularly between 1920 and 1937, with political and ecclesiastic history as its theoretical-methodological base. The analysis was performed upon documents produced by the Secretariat of State of the Holy See and its 2nd Section, the former Sacra Congregazione degli Affari Ecclesiastici, resulting from its relations with the Brazilian State and the higher echelons of the local ecclesiastic hierarchy. The paper identifies and explains the political stands of the Holy See and the Brazilian ecclesiastic leadership regarding the secularization of the state, according to the pontifical state policy, which had been implanted since the late 19th century, with Pope Leo XIII, and maintained and intensified during the period focused in this study. It also attempts to comprehend and elucidate the workings of the Secretariat of State of the Holy See as the organ in charge of implanting the pontifical foreign policy, managing the plans of international expansion and strengthening the Roman Catholic Church in Brazil. This study analyzes the Romanization according to a political perspective, as a form of institutional and doctrinal alignment of the local churches to the orientation provided by the Holy See, according to its relations with the Brazilian State. Pragmatically, this process of Romanization involves the consolidation of an organizational model with homogenous characteristics, with uniform and standardized procedures, aiming to “close ranks” against the continuous secularization of the public and civil institutions. The study also identifies and relates the influence of the Roman Catholic Church in the internal affairs of Brazilian politics

This thesis attempts to trace the origins of the wandering preachers who appeared around 1100 in Europe. These were men who took it upon themselves to wander through towns am countryside, preaching a variety of messages wherever they from an audience. They are of interest in prefiguring St Francis' style, and in exemplifying the ramification of voluntary poverty styles which formed their context. They are also important for their central role in various movements of popular piety.

Aspecto, marcadamente, associado aos esforços do episcopado em coordenar a dinâmica de mobilização e organização do laicato, tendo em vista uma alegada defesa dos direito da Igreja, a temática da cidadania (fundada na indissociável relação entre cidadão e fiel) afirma-se, no período estudado, como base de todo um projeto de nação católica. Bons e verdadeiros católicos deveriam unir-se à sua Igreja não permitindo que, de dentro do seu seio, brotasse o veneno do indiferentismo, da apostasia e da ignorância religiosa.

The citizenship question (based on the inseparable relationship between the citizen and the faithful) and here regarded as an aspect markedly connected to the episcopate's effort to coordinate the dynamics of mobilization and organization of the laity and, having in view an alleged defense of the rights of the church, gains ground in the studied period as the basis for a catholic nation-oriented project. Good and truthful Catholics should join the church in order to avoid that, from within its core, the poison of the indifferentism, apostasy and religious ignorance sprouted up. From these approaches, the present research looks at the catholic strategies for the constitution, in the heart of the processo of mobilization and organization of the laity, of controlling mechanisms for the Catholic actions in the educational field, having as reference the teaching profession. By examining the bonds between the citizen and the faithful and the representations concerning the teaching profession, identified either in the episcopate's discourse or yielded from its orientation, the analyses of such controlling mechanisms turns to the examination of professional laity-catholic identity conformation process suitable to the education profession, on a catholic basis.
