ABSTRACT What is the role of accounting? Typically, accounting is viewed as a technology to inform business decisions, such as allocation of economic resources within the marketplace. In contrast, public interest scholars emphasize the social role of accounting. For example, accounting mediates relationships among various parties, impacts social outcomes, and justifies the distribution of economic rewards. This paper contributes to the public interest perspective by exploring the origin of double-entry accounting (DEA) as a form of personal apologia. To develop the thesis that DEA originated a

AbstractDuring my first twelve years in India I studied Hindu art and philosophy, encountering "inculturated" Catholic Christianity for the first time. When I returned to the United Kingdom, I was struck by a manifest separation between the dry, orderly church, and the imaginative world of "New Age" networks such as Dances of Universal Peace. In 1999 I received a major commission to re-design a church in Wales. This opening allowed me to use art as a means to bring some of the insights gained in India into a Western Christian context.

Abstract The main objective of the paper is to provide a public choice explanation of the motivations of individual financial giving to the Italian Catholic Church after the innovations introduced by the Concordat of 1984. The analysis is based on the types of costs and benefits that are likely to enter into personal calculations of financial giving. In particular, we postulate one type of cost (of a private nature) and four kinds of benefits (public, club, mixed and private).

The decade of the 1970s saw continuing changes in American Catholicism as Catholics' religious beliefs and practices persisted in a decline that began in the mid-1960s. In the 1980s, issues of personal morality are salient among indicators of declining belief, particularly such issues as birth control, divorce with remarriage, and premarital sex. Yet there are signs of vitality in other respects: Catholic schools have grown in enrollment, charismatic and pentecostal groups have increased, and lay participation in liturgical functions is now a familiar feature of Catholic worship.

Abstract:
The Catholic Church has increasingly invoked the principle of human dignity as a way to spread the message of the Gospel in the modern world. Catholic philosophers must therefore defend this principle in service to Catholic theology. One aspect of this defense is how the human person relates to the universe. Is human dignity of a piece with the material universe in which we find ourselves? Or is our dignity alien in kind to such a whole? Or does the truth lie somewhere in between? The metaphysics of creation properly locates the human being in the universe as a part, ordered to the universe’s

This thesis examines the impact of the Reformation on the estates of ecclesiastical institutions and officials based in St Andrews. It argues that land and wealth were redistributed and power structures torn apart, as St Andrews changed from Scotland's Catholic ecclesiastical capital to a conspicuously Protestant burgh. The rapid dispersal of the pre-Reformation church's considerable ecclesiastical lands and revenues had long-term ramifications for the lives of local householders, for relations between religious and secular authorities, and for St Andrews' viability as an urban community.

This chapter talks about Barry Goldwater, who regarded William E. Miller's church membership as an asset rather than a liability when he chose him as his running mate in the 1964 presidential election. It describes Miller as the grandson of German American immigrants and reared in the Roman Catholic Church. It also covers Conscience of a Conservative as the ghostwritten product of L. Brent Bozell, which identified Goldwater with the conservative movement and challenged the GOP's East Coast establishment. The chapter notes how Bozell grew up in Nebraska as nominal Protestant then converted to Roman Catholicism before enrolling at Yale University. It discusses how local circumstances, such as national origin and personal convictions, did more to color perceptions of politics than the church's social teaching.

Abstract:
This chapter cites conservatives that regard Watergate and Richard Nixon's subsequent resignation as catastrophic. It discusses how the hopes for fusing American ideas of small government and personal liberty with traditional Christianity looked less than promising by 1975. It also refers to the mainline Protestant churches that, in the 1960s, came to terms with the mix of political reform and moral indifference in ways that were more radical than traditional. The chapter emphasizes how Protestants had yet to emerge as an identifiable political constituency as their concerns were generally too pious and moral for the urbane and worldly ethos of movement conservatives. It describes how the Roman Catholic Church was in the midst of sorting out the reforms of the Second Vatican Council while defending the papal teaching on sex and contraception.

Full text
Abstract:
How does a faith community that understands morality as objective and universally valid operate in a secularized world without lapsing into moral fundamentalism? The reactive, oppositional, hermetic character of religious fundamentalism extends to a faith community’s moral convictions and commitments, disposing religiously fundamentalist communities to moral fundamentalism as well. Catholic debates about conscience illustrate internal struggles over the moral presuppositions of modernity and secularism and their import. Taking Catholic responses to the anti-LGBT attack on the Pulse nightclub as an example, Weaver argues that conscience is closely bound with personal and communal moral identity. Catholic responses to secularism and modernity involve morally freighted choices about what to emphasize, defend, and adapt; who to include, empower, or marginalize; and how to interpret internal plurality, external influences, and alternative modes of thought. Indeed, Catholic responses to fundamentalism, secularism, and modernity enact conscience, as individuals and communities decide what sort of ecclesial community the church will be.

Full text
Abstract:
While social scientists provide description and explanation of the institutions, discourses and long-term processes of social change that structure culture, McGahern gives his readers a sense of what it was like to live in Catholic Ireland in the latter half of the twentieth century. He reveals the ways in which people were constrained by their culture but also the ways that they constructed themselves and negotiated cultural mores. His work delves into their ways of being and representing themselves, their strategies of action and performance of identity. The Pornographer provides key insights into the shift from rural to urban society and the decline in the importance of the Catholic Church in everyday life. This chapter explores how McGahern reveals what it was like to make love and have sex in Ireland during the shift from a Catholic culture of self-denial to a modern urban, cosmopolitan culture of self-fulfilment and self-indulgence. It also examines the gap between the critical reflection of the novelist and the lack of critical reflection and insight into this clash of cultures in his own life, as revealed in Memoir.

Abstract:
For the greater part of his adult life, the polymath Roman Catholic theologian Xu Zongze (P. Joseph Zi, S.J., 1886–1947) edited the premier Catholic journal Shengjiao zazhi, or Revue Catholique, from the Jesuit compound in Shanghai, the effective center of the Chinese Roman Catholic world. The directions in which he guided the magazine and the theological, historical, and social articles he wrote offer important insight into the evolution of Chinese Catholicism during the 1920s and 1930s. This chapter sets Xu’s biji, or “thoughts and jottings,” against his “official” magazine essays to explore the congruence or tension between the two voices, and suggests that the theologian and archivist was able to express himself differently in different forms. The unofficial, low-brow jottings constitute a personal view, in a Chinese form, to complement the official (Western-style) theological essays of the magazine.

Full text
Abstract:
This article is a passionate call on the Catholic Church to accept democracy on substantive, not only instrumental grounds, and to grant Catholic believers independence in their electoral choices. Böckenförde here lays out his democratic theory, which is formally built on the three cornerstones of majority rule, individual liberty, and equality, whereby the latter two constrain the former and guard majority rule from degenerating into majority despotism. In the long term, the formal features of democracy alone will not suffice to sustain democratic politics, however. What is required, according to Böckenförde, is an ethos among the citizenry and its leaders to remain committed to these formal values. The first goal of every citizen must therefore be to ensure that the formal features of democracy are guaranteed and safeguarded, not that his or her personal values are politically realized. Democracy requires, Böckenförde lays out, a genuine willingness to compromise, not as a tactical manoeuvre because one is not (yet) strong enough to govern alone, but as a genuine concession and renunciation because one accords also to one’s political opponent the right to his own political convictions.

Full text
Abstract:
In this personal reflection, Böckenförde portrays the dilemma he faced during his tenure as a judge on Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court: trying to bridge his Christian Catholic spirituality with his work as a high-ranking public servant in a secular state. He describes his struggle with the Catholic teachings prior to Second Vaticanum, which at that time still defined the state as ideally Catholic and demanded every believer in public office to act as a vanguard for Christian natural law. But by committing himself to the public good, Böckenförde sidestepped the requirement of the Catholic Church and fully embraced the democratic, religiously neutral political order. Böckenförde justified his position (deviant in the eyes of the Church) by insisting on the strict neutrality demanded from a judge. He pointed to the so-called Church Compromise of the Weimar Republic (Weimarer Kirchenkompromiss), which established the neutrality of the state with regard to religion, and which was re-adopted in West Germany after 1949. He also relinquished his consultative role in the Central Committee of Catholics once he was nominated to the Constitutional Court. Even in cases affecting abortion, he only dealt with the issues at hand as a judge, not as a Catholic. In his view, Christian spirituality can manifest itself in faithfulness to one's office and an integrity that is open to the world.

Full text
Abstract:
Böckenförde examines here why almost the entire leadership of organized Catholicism in Germany, that is both of the Church organization and Catholic societal associations, became complicitous in and sometimes actively helped Hitler amend the constitution and dismantle the democratic state. Böckenförde identifies three main reasons for this sudden transformation: the legacy of the Prussian Culture War (Kulturkampf), the dominance of natural law in Catholic thought, and the inherent anti-liberalism of the Catholic magisterium. Since the Kulturkampf, Catholic citizens felt alienated from the state, chose to withdraw into “inner emigration” and rallied around matters of personal faith, issues internal to the Church, and questions of religious schooling, each of which had a strong connection to natural law and—although specifically Catholic concerns—were equated in their minds with the public good. The Concordat between the Vatican and the Nazi regime in July 1933 promised the Catholic leadership the possibility of achieving the kind of autonomy they had sought for decades, in exchange for officially accepting the new Nazi order. As Böckenförde dryly diagnoses, in the minds of Catholic leaders the preservation of the democratic order carried no weight by comparison. Additionally, leading Catholics attached great hopes to the new Reich, expecting that it would revive the old Christian-Catholic, anti-enlightenment and ‘organic’ alternative to the modern, individualist, and secular state. Written in 1961, the article was the first in-depth historiographic study of Catholic complicity in the rise of the Nazi regime and caused a lasting public controversy, which ultimately vindicated Böckenförde’s account.

Abstract:
This chapter analyzes several rarely seen letters written in 1871 by three Catholic women from a village in Northeast China. The letters were addressed to a member of the Société des Missions Etrangères de Paris who had been the priest of their church. In these letters, the author detects the underlying sense of feminine piety mingled with the Du women’s purposeful borrowing of religious vocabularies to articulate personal feelings and emotional requests. The displacement between the spiritual devotion to Jesus and the sensible attachment to an absent Western priest signifies the new boundary of Christian religiosity being shaped by these village women. Private writing became an alternative means of self-empowerment for them to redefine faith, passion, and collective identity in late Qing society.
