{"title":"Latinos and the New Immigrant Church (review)","authors":"Antonio M Stevens Arroyo","doi":"10.1353/cat.2007.0316","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/cat.2007.0316","url":null,"abstract":"This book arrives on the academic scene in timely fashion. The existing English-language histories of Latino Catholics, often listed with the less fashionable “Hispanic Catholics,” are either highly focused on one specific locality or can be contained only in multiple volumes. Examples of the first type are Angélico Chávez’ classic Our Lady of the Conquest about New Mexico (1948) and Ana María Díaz-Stevens’ Oxcart Catholicism about Puerto Ricans in New York,which won the Cushwa Prize in 1993. Into the second type fall the threevolume series out of Notre Dame,edited by Jay Dolan.David A.Badillo has written a worthwhile history of Latino Catholics that includes ample reference to these other works but manages to condense it into one volume of 275 pages. Because it would have been impossible to cover every historical aspect, Badillo has wisely chosen to examine specific events at key moments in United States and Catholic history. Instead of a kind of tourist guide to Latino Catholic history trying to cover everything in a sort of once-over flight, Badillo has written a book that provides open windows to a theme of growing importance. The result is clearly superior to the kind of brief summaries of people and places that would have robbed history of much of its complexities.The reader is led to understand the roots of Latino Catholic identity by an examination of its Iberian and Latin American origins before nineteenth-century invasions by United States’ troops raised the Stars and Stripes over the people’s heads. Iberian-American Catholicism still reigned in our hearts, however, and Badillo does not shy from explaining the dilemma of a Catholicism based in the United States that was asked to Americanize the conquered in the Latino homelands as it was already Americanizing the immigrants from Europe. It is my experience that there is considerable intellectual resistance to the idea that Latinos and Latinas are principally “conquered peoples” rather than “immigrants seeking the American Dream.” Perhaps the resistance can be blamed on a reluctance to judge the United States as guilty of imperialism, but this point is crucial to a non-politicized understanding of church history. Badillo handles this difficult statement about as well as I have seen, being neither too partisan in his judgments nor too shallow in his criticisms.","PeriodicalId":44384,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW","volume":"93 1","pages":"729 - 730"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2007-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/cat.2007.0316","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66398129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Somewhat less successful, however, is the balance he achieves between the depth and rigor of his analyses of Gerson’s own writings and his somewhat uneven handling of the contextual background against which they are seen. Thus it is impossible to grasp the full significance of Gerson’s clash with Gorel on the matter of mendicant privileges without seeing it in the context of the great mendicant-secular controversy at Paris in the 1250’s or the seventeenth-century struggle in France to vindicate the divinely-established hierarchical status of the parochial clergy. Nor can it convincingly be claimed that “Gerson’s last contributions at Constance have for the most part been ignored” (p. 281). After all, the first blow struck in the great war of words surrounding the Venetian interdict of 1606 was the republication in Italian translation of two of Gerson’s tracts from 1418—his Resolutio circa materiam excommunicationum et irregularitatum and his De sententia pastoris semper tenenda.That blow was struck by the acerbic Venetian theologian Paolo Sarpi, and it had the effect of drawing down on him (and on the memory of Gerson) the ire of none other than Cardinal Robert Bellarmine. Nor, again, is it altogether accurate to assert that after 1706 Gerson was to become something of a parochial figure, “celebrated by French academics and more or less forgotten elsewhere” (p. 318). He figures large, after all, in the De statu ecclesiae which the auxiliary bishop of Trier (writing under the pseudonym of “Febronius”) was to publish in 1763 and which was soon to be a best seller, circulated all over Europe in German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese translations. Nor was Gerson unknown to the recusant “Anglo-Gallicans” of late-eighteenth-century England or, across the Atlantic, to their “Cisalpine” fellow-travellers in the newly-independent United States.","PeriodicalId":44384,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW","volume":"71 1","pages":"161 - 163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2007-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/cat.2007.0128","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66397751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His judgments are generally fair, if he can be critical. Harnack he sees as making a fundamental contribution to the study of church history, taking it far beyond the confines of dusty doctrine, if no archaeologist. Lietzmann he presents, again like Harnack, as a staunch Lutheran and a man of the Church, who not only successfully combined a study of history, archaeology, and liturgy, but also was responsible for some key series of scholarly aids covering both the New Testament and the early Church.The lesserknown Gsell is rightly lauded for his painstaking and uniquely valuable contribution to the history, geography, and archaeology of early Christian North Africa, and useful detail of later scholarly developments in the field is supplied. Ramsay’s pioneering work in Asia Minor and Phrygia and its continuing relevance, despite his dated political judgments, are duly recognized. Duchesne’s judicious balance between history and the development of doctrine, despite his bitter struggles with Roman Catholic authority, and his recent rehabilitation, are sympathetically sketched. Finally Baynes’ contributions to patristic as well as Byzantine scholarship are sympathetically presented.","PeriodicalId":44384,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW","volume":"92 1","pages":"641 - 643"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2007-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/cat.2007.0013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66398173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a version of the Baile de la Conquista featuring Sinacán resisting capture until he is taken prisoner by Tlaxcalan warriors, allied with the Spaniards. This annual event likely performed from the late sixteenth century until the seventeenth century, was staged in Santiago’s central plaza and featured a mock volcano. Contreras believes that this version might have survived if it had been performed in pueblos instead of in the capital; with insufficient official or native impetus to keep it going, it was soon forgotten. By contrast, Tecún Umán is the hero of a version of the Baile de la Conquista, which is still performed in Guatemala. Contreras concludes that Tecún did not die in personal combat with Alvarado and that the two men never even met. Though Alvarado mentions the death of the Lord in the first major battle of the conquest surely he would have informed his superior, Cortés, if he had personally killed him. Contreras implies that Tecún Umán’s hero status is a result of legend and folklore and that Sinacán, the true hero, has been unjustly forgotten.","PeriodicalId":44384,"journal":{"name":"CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW","volume":"91 1","pages":"358 - 359"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2006-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/cat.2006.0212","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66397456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
