Letters of Pope Paul VI and pope John Paul II concerning the veneration of the virgin Mary: a study in ecumenical development
No full textAs seen from the outside, the Roman Catholic and the Orthodox Churches appear to have many things in common. Among these is the veneration of the Virgin Mary, which is part of their common heritage of over 1000 years, though the Orthodox would insist that there are important differences between Roman Catholic and Orthodox Mariology. Serious ecumenical contacts and discussions between the Church of Rome and other Churches have only begun in the last thirty to forty years, and this thesis examines letters of Pope Paul VI and John Paul II on Marian doctrine, written during the period of increasing communication The theme focuses on the ecumenical implication of these documents, as well as their change in emphasis on the part of the Papacy. From Pope John XXIII's first opening the doors to ecumenism, the Bishops of Rome have become progressively more interested in, or conscious of, the ecumenical implications of their statements on Mary. At the same time, there has been a considerable shift in interest on the part of the Papacy, changing from talking about the Western Churches, to a grand strategy which exercises an approach to the Orthodox Churches from their common heritage of the Virgin Mary
The good Pope : British reactions to the Papacy of Pius IX, 1846-52
No full textFrom the time of the Reformation in England Anglo-vatican
relations have typically been seen as a long history of
unending antagonism. It is not common knowledge that in
the period between 1846 and 1851 there was a notable, if
temporary, lull in this animosity and even talk of
establishing full diplomatic relations. This thesis aims
to account for this thaw in tensions and to analyse the
British response to the early 'liberal' years of Pope
Pius IX, not only looking at government policy but also
the attitude of the British public towards the new Pope.
In addition, this study sets out not only to look at
individual issues, such as the Risorgimento, the history
of the Roman Catholic Church in England and the Irish
question, but seeks to explain the interplay between them
in order to come to a fuller understanding of British
policy.
This thesis reveals that British policy was based on the
need to achieve a number of goals, such as a peaceful
solution to the political crisis in the Italian peninsula
and the curbing of the Irish agitation, and that it was
held that an enlightened Pope could help in the
fulfilment of these aims. The effort to improve relations
in the end failed as it was undermined by an overoptimistic
assessment of the Pope's liberalism and
failure of the British government to appreciate the depth
of anti-Catholic opinion among the British public and
their representatives in Parliament. The result was that
this short thaw in relations came to an abrupt end

The life and works of James Miller, 1704-1744, with particular reference to the satiric content of his poetry and plays.
No full textPhDJames Miller was born the son of a Dorset rector in 1704. He
was himself ordained, but acquired no benefice until just before his
early death, probably because of a scathing portrayal of the Bishop
of London in one of his verse satires. At Oxford he wrote a vivacious
comedy of humours, set in the University. Its production in 1730
began his dramatic career, at a time when the number of London
theatres had just doubled, and new dramatic forms were being invented.
In 1731 his poem Harlequin-Horace, a witty inversion of
the Ars Poetica, attacked pantomime and opera, but also painted a
lively portrait of the entire theatrical world, in the tradition of
the Dunciad.
After collaborating in a translation of Moliere's works Miller
wrote two plays based on this author. Of all his dramatic works
these were the most successful with his contemporaries, and were
followed by a modernisation of Much Ado, and a ballad-opera adapted
from an afterpiece by Jean-Baptiste Rousseau, and rendered highly
topical. Miller made similar use of a recent French comedy showing
a Red Indian's reactions to civilisation, a satiric "fable" by Walsh
and Voltaire's Mahomet. A large quantity of original material was
incorporated into most of these, and this is generally satirical in
nature. The Indian is made to voice almost egalitarian sentiments.
An afterpiece, "The Camp Visitants", satirised military inaction
in the war, and was apparently banned. The manuscripts of the six
plays produced after the Licensing Act bear the examiner's deletions,
and illustrate the nature of the censorship at this time.
Miller's greatest strength is probably his flexible, vigorously
colloquial dialogue. His political satire is mostly contained in
the poetry, which attacks Walpole's administration with increasing
vehemence through the seventeen-thirties, until its fall. In 1740
two poems that used Pope in symbolic contrast to Walpole caused a
sensation. In both poetry and plays Miller is also a social satirist,
who lays unusually strong emphasis on false taste and the deterioration
of culture
International differences in the timeliness, conservatism, and classification of earnings
No full textWe analyze differences in the timeliness of income recognition between the U.S. and U.K. GAAP financial reporting regimes. Building on previous work in the area we focus on the links between current reported earnings and current and past changes in market value. In the light of Basu [1997] we present a formal model in which
the response of reported earnings to changes in market value varies according to whether the value change is good news or bad. This model yields a number of insights with regard to the definition and measurement of earnings conservatism. We also report evidence indicating that controlling for cross-jurisdictional classification differences affects comparisons of earnings timeliness and earnings conservatism; specifically, we find that apparent differences in conservatism between the U.S. and
U.K. accounting regimes are sensitive to the inclusion or exclusion of extraordinary items in U.K. accounting earnings
Analyst ability and research effort: non-EPS forecast provision as a research quality signal
No full textThe range of non-EPS forecast types provided by individual analysts to I/B/E/S has increased dramatically over time but varies considerably across firms. We propose that in providing a broader range of forecast types analysts can signal superior research ability and research effort. Consistent with this hypothesis, we document positive associations between the number of forecast types (NFT) an analyst provides and common proxies for research quality including earnings forecast accuracy, price target accuracy, stock recommendation profitability, market reactions to stock recommendation revisions and analyst career outcomes. The effects of NFT are incremental to other quality proxies used in the literature and are distinct from the issuance of specific non-EPS
forecast types studied previously, e.g., cash flow forecasts. We demonstrate the information value of NFT to investors by examining the out-of-sample performance of portfolios formed conditional on NFT and exploiting revisions in consensus earnings forecasts and individual analysts’ stock recommendations. We conclude that the number of forecast types an analyst provides for a firm is a readily available proxy for the quality of her research
