Abstract

ABSTRACT The American College of St Maurice at Münster in Westphalia was founded in 1867 to train priests for the Catholic missions in the United States. This paper outlines the history of this short-lived educational institutions (1867–1879), with particular focus on the 68 seminarians, who attended this theological seminary for their pastoral formation, accompanied by scholarly studies in theology and philosophy at the Academy of Münster. This educational concept and history of the American College is considered against the background of the scholarly dispute about the dogma of papal infallibility and the Prussian Kulturkampf, that eventually led to the closure of the American College in 1879. Finally, attention is paid to the pastoral ministry of the alumni and the situation of the German Catholics in the United States. The alumni of the American College became a particularly sought-after group of priests, not only due to their religio-cultural background, but also with regards to their broader pastoral and academic formation that helped to meet the challenges ahead.

明斯特美国圣莫里斯学院，1867-1879 年：在神学院教育和学术研究之间为美国培养天主教神职人员

摘要位于威斯特伐利亚明斯特的美国圣莫里斯学院成立于 1867 年，旨在为美国天主教传教会培养牧师。本文概述了这所短命的教育机构（1867-1879 年）的历史，重点介绍了 68 名神学院学生，他们在明斯特学院学习神学和哲学的同时，还在这所神学院接受牧师培训。美国学院的教育理念和历史是在关于教皇无误教条的学术争论和普鲁士文化大革命的背景下进行考量的，这最终导致美国学院于 1879 年关闭。最后，我们还关注了校友们的牧灵事工以及德国天主教徒在美国的处境。美国学院的校友成为特别受欢迎的牧师群体，这不仅是因为他们的宗教文化背景，还因为他们接受了更广泛的牧灵和学术培训，有助于应对未来的挑战。
