From its quiet inception in 1988, to a hailstorm of statewide and national controversy over thirty years later, this book follows the development of public discourse regarding a clergy sexual abuse scandal in a small Catholic Diocese in Central Pennsylvania. Weaving together the evolving local and national narratives, it offers a striking account of how stakeholder rhetoric has influenced public perception of the Catholic abuse crisis in America, and driven public actions. While the book enriches our local knowledge of the tragic--and ongoing--cultural trauma triggered by the revelation of clergy perpetrated abuse in a small Catholic Diocese, it also makes a critical theoretical contribution to our understanding of the role of rhetoric in publicizing private pain, and galvanizing collectives to take it on as their own. The process of cultural trauma, Niebauer contends, unfolds through rhetorical forms that provide individuals with a constraining and enabling set of rhetorical choices. Highlighting the recurrent rhetorical forms of narration, kategoria, apologia, and topoi, The Diocese's Darkest Chapter brings a new vocabulary and explanatory force to the study of cultural trauma, and the Catholic abuse crisis in America.

In 1988, a civil case was quietly filed by Michael Hutchison and his mother against Francis Luddy and the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, alleging clergy perpetrated sexual abuse (CPSA) and Diocesan cover up. Thirty years later, a Grand Jury investigation into the Diocese implicated two bishops and fifty priests in a cover-up of child sexual abuse, dating back to the 1950s. Public discourse labeled these revelations "the Diocese's Darkest Chapter," linking the revelations to the over widening scandal engulfing the global Catholic Church. How can we explain the change that occurred between 1988, when a private legal dispute was brought to the attention of the Blair County Court, and the widespread public perception in 2016 of a Catholic crisis--one that implicated the entire Catholic and non-Catholic community in central Pennsylvania? Explaining this change is the focus of this dissertation. Utilizing court cases, local media stories, pastoral letters, Pennsylvania legislative house fights, survivor testimony, and semi-structured interviews with lay people, I trace the evolution of the public debate over CPSA in the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese. This public debate is representative of the process happening throughout Dioceses in the United States during this period. The Luddy case portrayed the problem of CPSA in the Diocese as one of institutional failure to protect children--one that required civil remedies for victims and institutional (rather than doctrinal) reforms within the Church. Despite efforts to challenge this narrative from multiple stakeholders throughout the thirty years, this portrait of institutional failure has dominated public discourse and directed reforms and remedies for CPSA within the Catholic Church in America. This process of public attribution and contestation is best understood through the lens of cultural trauma--or the process by which communal violations come to be viewed as a wound to the cultural fabric of a society. Stakeholders, utilizing the inventive and constraining resources of the legal system, the pulpit, and legislation, narrated the meaning of communal violations for a public audience in an effort to achieve specific goals. Stakeholder narratives are therefore highly rhetorical, requiring the use of specific speech modes, genres, strategies, and assimilative strategies. Because stakeholder narratives attribute blame and direct public action, these rhetorical forms are likely to repeat themselves in situations of cultural trauma. Illuminating these durable rhetorical forms help us to better understand the role of communication in this process of social change.

Anyone who has ever traveled to Florida immediately assumes they've got the state figured out. It usually involves the common tropes we see splashed across news and social media: Disney, Miami, alligators, heat, retirees and weird people. As a result, very few people try to dig any deeper. This book explores the darkest parts of Florida's past. These stories, told out in sequential order and broken down by theme, contain everything that has come to make up the Sunshine State: from the surprising, to the weird, to the horrifying, and, in some cases, inspiring. Topics covered include Florida in the Age of Exploration, pirates, Spanish colonialism, the Seminole Wars, slavery and race relations during the Civil War, Prohibition, segregation, disco and drugs, serial killers, economic ruin, urbanism, and Florida in the age of DeSantis.

In The Dark Side of the Soul, the author explains and illustrates the 'Seven Deadly Sins' with contemporary examples. 'Sin' is an old-fashioned word for some startlingly contemporary problems. Far from being about trivial naughtiness or seedy self-indulgence, it's about the financial scandals that have rocked our world, and most of the ills that beset us today. In clear and accessible language, Cherry shows that the traditional Christian concept of sin is a vital tool in understanding what is wrong with human beings. Far from leading people into a guilt-trap, 'sin' is a healthy and truthful word that can help to set us free. Human beings are neither intrinsically evil nor congenitally inclined to virtue, but many of the problems and predicaments that trouble us today can be better understood, and more effectively resolved, if their deeper roots are taken into account. In this fresh interpretation, the author shows that, for example, our economic problems, and our fixation on financial criteria in decision-making, can be understood through the twin lenses of avarice and lust. Our obsessive busyness is a manifestation of sloth; and our desire to control, and our perfectionism, are outworkings of spiritual pride. Crucially, although sin is an important and necessary word for people to understand and come to terms with, it is never, in the Christian worldview, the last word.
