When the infamous outbreak of violence against Germany's Jews that became known as Kristallnacht shattered much more than just the store windows of Jews, Edith Stein was not surprised. In spite of the real spiritual joy she felt earlier on April 21, 1938, when she made her profession of final vows, for many months in that year which preceded the outbreak ofWorld War II she had kept an apprehensive eye on a progression of threatening events all around her and her family.1 She was much aware of a strident crescendo of unjust persecution within her country that would soon spread far beyond German borders. But she had hopes, too, and quickly put together plans to move out of harm's way.

This splendid edition of Cotton Mather's ambitious natural theology demonstrates one way Puritanism embraced the Enlightenment in Europe. The argument from design, which buttressed natural theology, depended upon empirical observation of natural processes for its assertion that God existed. Like the 'New Science' in Europe, it presumed that like effects proceeded from like causes, Isaac Newton's second rule of reasoning in the Principia. Yet, in its preoccupation with final cause, the argument from design shared more with the Peripatetics than with the experimental philosophers of the seventeenth century. As both Galileo and Bacon warned, teleology too often became tautology. Still, within the swirling cross-currents of the Enlightenment in Britain and eventually in America as well, the logical structures of natural theology often cut across religious boundaries. Orthodox clerics and heterodox pamphleteers often shared fundamental assumptions. Mather's embrace of arguments also invoked by Deists need not compromise his Puritanism.

War in so far as they pitted the advocates of "state rights" (die Sonderbund') against the more progressive advocates of a stronger federal union. The eventual result of the latter's quick victory was a series of constitutional revisions which rendered Switzerland a stronger, more stable country. Another historical analogy comes to mind, namely, the Kulturkampf, the state-church conflict which raged in Prussia in the 1870's. This, too, was a constitutional struggle which started with sectarian overtones. The issues which triggered the conflict in Switzerland were religious: the secularization of monasteries in a Protestant canton; an invitation to the radical Protestant biblical exegete, David Strauss, to teach in Zurich; and, in response, an invitation to the Jesuits to find a new home in Lucerne, which was the heart of the Sonderbund. Remak notes that in those days the Jesuits did not conjure up visions of civil rights, hospitals, and universities and then adds (in something of a non sequitur) that "Father Hesburg and Notre Dame's Fighting Irish were a century and a continent away."

The first parish was opened on Doty Island in the Fox River Valley city of Menasha.

Although there was no evidence that theywere rejected for being Italians, it is clear that the friars wanted to be working with Italians, whose numbers were beginning to grow throughout the MiddleWest. In 1874, at the urging of the Prior General, Morini began his mission among the growing Italian population scattered throughout Chicago. The administrator of the diocese, Bishop Thomas Foley, welcomed Morini, grateful to have some help in dealing with the erratically observant Italians. Foley's attitude toward his Italian co-religionists was revealed in a comment passed to Morini after the Servite had preached a successful mission to them: "Now that they are all in the grace of God, drown them all in the river before they lose it" (p. 77). With Foley's encouragement, land was purchased for what would later become the Basilica of Our Lady of Sorrows, a church famous in Chicago Catholic life for the huge crowds it drew in the thirties and forties to its fabled Novena to the Sorrowful

Catholicism came to the Arkansas territory with the expedition of Hernando de Soto in 1541. Until the territory passed under the control of the United States in 1803, the Church was under Spanish and French ecclesiastical jurisdiction. During this "colonial" period it barely survived. There was little religious activity, small population, few clergy, immense distances, and slow travel. Yet a Catholic presence was preserved. Once a part of the United States, die Church in Arkansas had to start anew. Most settlers in the Early National period were English-speaking Protestants, and Arkansas became a state which even now has a Catholic population of only about three percent of the total population.

One could perhaps excuse an ancient historian— even a very good one—for missing this kind of technical, patristic detail, for using Migne or Mansi when newer and better editions exist, or for confusing Pope Leo with a usurper of the previous century (n. 6 on p. 162, where the pope "absent from"—actually not given a separate entry in—the New Catholic Encyclopedia is not "saint and bishop Leo," but the antipope Felix II).
