Monk's Tale
Autor Edward A. Malloy C. S. C.en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 aug 2011
In Monk's Tale: Way Stations on the Journey, Father Malloy carries forward the story of his professional life from when he joined the Notre Dame faculty in 1974 to his election as president of Notre Dame. His journey in this volume begins with the various administrative responsibilities he undertook on the seminary staff and in the theology department during his early years as an administrator and teacher, and continues through his tenure as vice-president and associate provost, up to the process that led to his selection as Notre Dame's sixteenth president. He reveals his day-to-day responsibilities and the challenges they presented as well as the ways in which his domestic and international travel gave him a broader view of the opportunities and issues facing higher education.
Less time-bound than the first volume, this second volume of Father Malloy's memoirs provides an account of his many commitments as a teacher, scholar, and pastor; as a staff person in an undergraduate residence hall; and as a board member in a wide variety of not-for-profit organizations. His account includes a chapter devoted to his fifteen years as a participant in the process that led to Ex Corde Ecclesiae, Pope John Paul II's apostolic constitution on Catholic higher education, and its implementation in the United States.
Disarming in its candor, laced with anecdotes, and augmented with photographs, Monk's Tale: Way Stations on the Journey captures the personality and tenacity of a young priest as he assumes ever greater responsibilities on a path toward the presidency of Notre Dame.
"This middle volume of Monk Malloy's projected three-volume memoir posts abundant proof that the examined life is surely worth living. Readers will meet an internationally minded priest, professor, scholar, dormitory chaplain, adviser, and administrator on his way to the presidency of Notre Dame. he exemplifies what it means to be a priest in American Catholic higher education. The forthcoming third volume will tell the story of what went on between his ears and across his desk during his eighteen years as president of the University of Notre Dame." -- William J. Byron, S.J., St. Joseph's University, Philadelphia

Recenzii
“Charmingly written, the memoirs include many interesting anecdotes, told with candor, by Father Malloy of his experience in many different roles and situations. The personal challenges facing Father Malloy during his Notre Dame presidency and the significant role he played in the apostolic constitution’s creation are described in a thoroughly interesting style. The book will not just appeal to Notre Dame alumni and supporters, but to anyone interested in Catholic higher education in the United States.” —Catholic Library World
“Father Malloy’s book is a good read because of the voice of Father ‘Monk.’ He comes across as a really likeable and good person . . . . The reader cares about Father Monk’s observations because you care about Father Monk.” —New Catholic Books & Media
“Monk’s Tale: Way Stations on the Journey is a continuing memoir from Malloy as he tells his story of joining the faculty at the University of Notre Dame, climbing the ranks and seeing much of what the campus had to offer through the years, including a strong impact on Catholic higher education throughout the United States.” —The Midwest Book Review

"As a public figure, I have had to choose carefully what to include and what to exclude in this volume on my Notre Dame presidency. I’ve tried to be truthful without being hurtful. I’m well aware that, in a large, complex institution, there can be (and are) multiple interpretations of the events I have described. In the end, I hope that my love for Notre Dame and its people comes through clearly, along with my overwhelming sense of gratitude for having been given the opportunity to lead this great university for eighteen years. I believe that the future for Notre Dame is bright and promising. All of us, indeed, stand on the shoulders of giants." —from Monk's Tale: The Presidential Years, 1987–2005 by Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
"The chronicle of an eighteen-year presidency that involved multiple visits to the White House, one-on-one conversations with the Holy Father, and visits with heads of state across the globe is inherently interesting, but Father Monk Malloy gives us much more. He casts light upon the complexity of operating a first-class modern university while remaining faithful to its mission as a Catholic university. He also helps us to remember that while all of this is happening, the inflection points that occur during everyone’s life continue: the loss attendant to his mother’s death, the emotional impact of the events of 9/11 and its aftermath, and the devastation felt at the revelations of the clergy abuse scandal." —Carol Ann Mooney, president, Saint Mary's College
"They called him Monk, a terrific Notre Dame basketball player, who became a priest, a professor of theology, lived for years in Sorin Hall, and became one of the great presidents of our university. For eighteen years, Father Malloy did it all. He accomplished so much. He made me very proud, and yes, they still call him Monk." —Regis Philbin, television broadcaster (ND '53)
"Monk Malloy's third volume of his biography brings to life his leadership journey through a chronicle of the routine and the unexpected, the triumphs and the setbacks, the joys and the disappointments. Following Fr. Hesburgh must be daunting for any successor, but we see Monk coming into his own to forge significant advances for Notre Dame by trusting his own instincts honed by study, tested through experience, cultivated in prayer, and rooted in his abiding loyalty to the Congregation of Holy Cross. Monk's gift to us is the candor with which he describes his navigation: the rationale that governs his thinking, self-reflection that recognizes a better way, and deep gratitude that enables grace to lead the way." —Carolyn Woo, president and CEO, Catholic Relief Services
"Monk Malloy chronicles his eighteen-year presidency of the nation’s premier Catholic university much as a sea captain devotes himself to the ship’s log. These pages reveal not only the captain’s acute powers of observation but the inveterate explorer’s wonder and fascination with waters calm or turbulent. It is the latter characteristics—the wonder and fascination—that mark an extraordinary leader." —Reverend Dennis Dease, president emeritus, University of St. Thomas
