  • HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH CHIPPING NORTON 1836 - 20O8 to the Reader
    HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH CHIPPING NORTON 1836 - 20O8 To The Reader. To-day, as we worship at Holy Trinity, we probably give few thoughts as to how there came to be a church here in the first place nor that, little more than one hundred and seventy years ago, life was not very easy as a practising Roman Catholic. Much of what we have today is due to three major physical influences down the years, the Earls of Shrewsbury (the Talbot family), the Jesuit Fathers and all those Religious who have served the Parish down the years. They all deserve our thanks and prayers. This rather leaves out the parishioners, but whether we like it or not, in real terms our role is a minor one even if for some it involves a lot of “minor work”. It might be better if more of us took more part in Parish affairs and spread the work load a bit but nevertheless, we should not overlook the role the Faith of parishioners has played in our small church, in the past and will continue to play into the future. This history is intended as a reminder of both the past and present parish and is concerned with three things – the physical structure of the church buildings, the Religious who have served the par- ish down the years and the parishioners for whom the Church and they exist. The origins of this and a Short History published earlier would not have come about without the suggestion of Father Frank Hull in 2006 and the major sources are acknowledged later.

  • Evelyn Waugh Newsletter and Stud
    EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUD EVELYN WAUGH NEWSLETTER AND STUDIES Vol. 39, No. 2 Autumn 2008 Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Burgess: Some Parallels as Catholic Writers by John J. Stinson SUNY Fredonia A brief essay of mine on the affinities between Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Burgess was published in this newsletter in 1976 (Vol. 10, No. 3: 11-12). Obviously, much has happened between then and now. Burgess died of lung cancer in London in November 1993, age 76, the author of some sixty-five to sixty-nine books, depending on how one counts. Auberon Waugh was one of two eulogists (the other being the novelist William Boyd) at a memorial service held at St. Paul’s (Anglican) Church, Covent Garden (the “Actors’ Church”). Auberon Waugh himself died in 2001; Graham Greene had passed in 1991. When Muriel Spark died in 2006, all four of the major English (Roman) Catholic novelists of the mid-to-late twentieth century were gone. Interestingly, only one, Burgess, was a “cradle Catholic.” This he often cited as a matter of pride, along with the claim that his was a recusant family who had successfully resisted Protestant conversion in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Burgess identified himself as a traditional but also non-practicing Catholic. The “traditional Catholic” writer classification allies the two men in the public mind and was undoubtedly one of the reasons Burgess was drawn to Waugh’s writing. His only quarrel with Waugh’s brand of Catholicism had to do with the way Waugh characteristically represented it in association with the English aristocracy.

  • Earthly Powers: a Resource for Reading Groups Earthly Powers In
    Earthly Powers: A Resource for Reading Groups Earthly Powers in Brief: ‘It was the afternoon of my eighty-first birthday, and I was in bed with my catamite when Ali announced that the archbishop had come to see me…’ As told by the central character himself, a distinguished British writer in his eighties, Earthly Powers is the life story of Kenneth Marchal Toomey – from the First World War to his later years of sun- drenched idleness in Malta. A homosexual who is unable to reconcile his nature with the teachings of the Catholic Church, Toomey opts as a young man for a life of loneliness and exile – first in the Paris of James Joyce and Ezra Pound and later in Hollywood at the height of its glamour and corruption. His travels, his many assignments and, indeed, the affections of his heart, bring him face to face with the most savage manifestations of evil in the modern world: the murder of a beloved friend in Malaya; the brutalities of Mussolini’s fascists; a Nazi death camp; mass suicide in the name of love in California. Breathing the stench of Buchenwald, Toomey sees finally that evil comes from man himself, it is inborn; for his brother-in-law Carlo, the saintly but sybaritic priest, it is a force at large in the world that must be challenged constantly in all its guises. Critical Reaction: ‘This is exciting stuff. It is not surprising that the novel was short-listed for the Booker prize. The narrative is compelling, the arguments important.’ – D.A.N.
