WENNERSTEN Frostburg Montgomety County Calvert County University of Maryland, State University Historical Society Historical Society Eastern Shore Editor's Comer This issue completes our 1989 celebrations by marking the bicentennial of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Baltimore, the bicentennial of St. John's College, and the 175th anniversary of the Battle of North Point, defense of Baltimore, and Key's writing the "Star Spangled Banner." Any one of these events might make a special number of itself. The following essays—one of them excerpted from a book due out later this fall—should at least provide readers some interesting glimpses at these large topics. Jo Ann E. Argersinger has served as book review editor of the magazine for almost two years and given so generously of her time that even we who know of her energy and self-discipline have marvelled. She now departs to begin a term in the provost's office at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I am sad to see her leave and thank her for all her professional help and moral support. Cover design: Detail from Alfred Jacob Miller's "Bombardment of Fort McHenry, Sept. 13-14, 1814" (c. 1830). Painting in oils, Miller based his interpretation on his father's eye-witness account of the British attack. (Maryland Historical Society.) "A Revolution More Extraordinary": Bishop John Carroll and the Birth of American Catholicism THOMAS W. SPALDING X he period between the Peace of Paris in 1763 and the adoption of the Constitu- tion in 1789 was formative not only for the United States but also for the Roman Catholic Church in the new republic. A key figure in the organization of his church in this Revolutionary era was John Carroll. To him would fall the task of adjusting an ancient faith to a new and strange political configuration. In the process he would create a tradition that would make the Catholic Church in the United States exceptional.1 At the end of the French and Indian War Bishop Richard Challoner, the vicar apostolic of the London District, sent a report to Rome on the state of the church within his jurisdiction. It included the English-speaking colonies of the New World. In Pennsylvania the Catholic religion was officially tolerated, he explained. "In Maryland, the laws are opposed to it as in England; however, these laws are rarely put into execution and usually there is a sort of tacit toleration." Some 16,000 Catholics were in Maryland, about half of whom approached the sacra- ments.2 They were served by some twelve Jesuits. In Pennsylvania four Jesuits served 6,000 to 7,000 Catholics. "These religious," the bishop added, "manifest great zeal and lead edifying lives." They also ministered to the few Catholics in the adjoining regions of Virginia and New Jersey.3 The successful conclusion of the French and Indian War brought a sense of relief in Maryland that proved a boon to Catholics. Nowhere was the altered attitude toward them more apparent than in the silence that greeted the burst of Catholic construction in the years immediately following the war. Two missions were estab- lished and several churches built. The Jesuits' residence at Bohemia, Cecil County, was in a ruinous state, and they decided to create a new mission farther south rather than rebuild. The long journey to the Catholic congregations of Talbot and Queen Anne's counties, Father Joseph Mosley explained, "had broken the constitution of every one who went down to [them}." In August 1764 Mosley himself was assigned the task of making the new foundation near Tuckahoe in Talbot County. It would be the loneliest and most demanding of the Jesuit missions in Maryland.4 For the growing number of Brother Spalding teaches history at Spalding University, Louisville, Kentucky.

In October 1765 John Gary deeded three lots to Father George Hunter, still the superior in Maryland, for a token five shillings, and in 1766 the Society spent over £300 on a brick church.5 In Charles County Father Hunter built a more commodious residence at St.

  • ARMY FOREIGN LIAISON NEWSLETTER for Members of the Washington Corps of Military Attachés
    ARMY FOREIGN LIAISON NEWSLETTER For Members of the Washington Corps of Military Attachés ********************************************************************************************************************* Summer 2015 ********************************************************************************************************************* FROM THE DIRECTOR: Summer officially began on 21 June, and with it the many wonderful events available within the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. Many such events are special military programs that are free of charge, such as the Army Band’s concerts on the steps of the US Capitol and Twilight Tattoos on Fort Myer. I’d like to thank everyone that was able to participate in the recent Director of the Army Staff and G-2 co-hosted Twilight Tattoo. It certainly was a wonderful program. The Twilight Tattoos are typically held each Wednesday during the summer months, and I encourage everyone that has not yet had a chance to see one to participate in one of the shows; it’s truly a spectacular event. Summer always brings changes, both in the Military Attaché Corps and in Headquarters, Department of the Army. This newsletter highlights some of the key movements, and more changes will become clearer as the summer progresses, and we’ll be sure to inform the Attaché Corps of any changes that affect the Army senior leadership. Included in all these moves is my own, so this will be my last newsletter as the Director of Army Foreign Liaison. This past year has been extremely rewarding, and I will never forget the many good colleagues with whom I have had the pleasure of associating. I also want to take this opportunity to publicly thank the Foreign Liaison team who have selflessly supported me and have made Foreign Liaison a rewarding place in which to have served.

Sherman was being puffed as a presidential candidate–the last thing either man needed was association with the political “hot potato” of the day. Prosecutors such as the posturing and violent Ohioan John Bingham, were prepared to use their roles in the trial as political launching pads. Defense attorneys could look forward to nothing but vilification. Attempting to explain Ewing’s decision to join the defense, a 1980 television docudrama The Ordeal of Dr. Mudd, would depict a sequence in which General Ewing, walking down a Georgetown street, overheard a frantic Frances Mudd pleading with an attorney to defend her husband. The following scene showed Mrs. Mudd praying in a non- denominational church, only to be approached by General Ewing with an offer to help. Queried as to why a Union officer would undertake the case, Ewing Dr. Samuel Mudd merely quoted his grandfather’s admonition to follow (Libraryof Congress) an honorable path in life. The scene is fictional, if not In what would become the final month of totally implausible, given Ewing’s “lofty ideals.” the war, March, 1865, Tom Ewing went to However, if placed in a Catholic church, the scene Washington to submit his military resignation to would have been credible, especially in a symbolic Abraham Lincoln, a personal friend.

Its lead- and current students ers and landowners were prominent English Catholic noble- men, but Catholics represented only a sixth of Maryland’s early population, the remainder of the settlers being Protestants. Jesuit priests, among the first arrivals in the colony, served the religious needs of the Catholic colonists. When the Protestant majority eventually gained political control, the Maryland Assembly in 1704 prohibited Catholic priests from saying Mass or performing other priestly func- tions. Maryland Catholics adopted a course of private worship by attending Mass at Jesuit manor houses or performing devo- tions at home.
