  • December Saints

    December Saints

    Saint of the Day December December 1: St. Edmund Campion, Martyr St. Edmund Campion was born in 1540 in Protestant London. An exceptionally bright child, he was given a good education. He went to Oxford in 1557, during the last year of Catholic Queen Mary’s reign. In 1566, he was given the honor of leading a debate in front of Queen Elizabeth I, who was impressed by him. He became a deacon in Church of England, but soon regretted it. He left England to enter a Catholic seminary in France and became a Jesuit in 1573. He knew then that he desired to return to England and secretly minister to Catholics there, despite the dangers. In 1580, St. Edmund went back to England disguised as a jewel merchant. He secretly preached and said Masses for one year before he was arrested, imprisoned and martyred in 1581. St. Edmund is one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. December 2: St. Bibiana, Virgin and Martyr St. Bibiana was an early Christian martyr, probably living during the late 4th century in Rome. Christianity had been made legal by Constantine, but persecutions continued. Bibiana’s parents were martyred, leaving Bibiana and her sister Demetria alone in poverty. They fasted and prayed, refusing to give up their faith. Demetria died of hunger and Bibiana, after undergoing harsh questioning, died a few days later. Their home was turned into a church, and is now the site of the Basilica of Santa Bibiana. December 3: St. Francis Xavier St. Francis Xavier was born in Spain in 1506.
  • Nicholas Owen

    Nicholas Owen

    Saint Nicholas Owen Born: Oxfordshire The son of a carpenter, Nicholas was raised in a family dedicated to the Catholic Church and followed his father’s trade. One of his brothers became a printer of Catholic literature and two were ordained priests. Nicholas worked with Edmund Campion, Father John Gerard and Father Henry Garnet, Superior of the English Jesuits from 1587 – 1594. Sometimes using the pseudonym John Owen; his short stature led to the nickname Little John. He spent over twenty-five years using his skills in the construction of ‘priest- holes’, escape-routes and some annexes for Mass. In order to keep his building-work secret, most was carried out at night, his presence explained by the daylight role as carpenter and mason. Early examples of his work exist at Oxburgh in East Anglia, Braddocks and Sawston. There are over a hundred examples of his work throughout central England. He built around a dozen hiding-places for Thomas Habington’s household at Hindlip Hall, Worcestershire; including that which Owen himself used prior to his capture. The authorities were aware the hiding- places existed, but neither their extent nor who constructed them. Nicholas did not have a formal novitiate, but having received instruction, he became a Jesuit Brother in 1577. In 1581, when Father Edmund Campion was executed, Nicholas remonstrated with the authorities and was imprisoned but later released. He was re-arrested on 23 April 1594 with John Gerard and held in the Tower of London, from where managed to free himself. It is said that he later orchestrated the escape of Father Gerard.
  • Trial of Henry Garnet and Jesuit Equivocation in Early

    Trial of Henry Garnet and Jesuit Equivocation in Early

    2nd Place Winner, Dunham Bible Museum, Piece of the Past Essay Contest, 2020 The Trial of Henry Garnet and Jesuit Equivocation in Early Modern England By Michella Taylor In Act 2 Scene 3 of Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, the drunken porter—acting as hell’s gatekeeper—welcomes into the castle a parade of condemned souls, including an “equivocator that could swear in both scales against either scale” (II.iii.9-12). First performed in 1606, scholars have interpreted these lines as direct references made by Shakespeare to the trial and execution of Father Henry Garnet for his complicity in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Following the excommunication of Queen Elizabeth by the Pope in 1570 and the Spanish Armada of 1588, the Tudor state began viewing Catholic citizens as potential traitors (Robinson). English Catholics were prohibited from hearing Mass and forced to attend Anglican services under the threat of hefty fines. With the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, many English Catholics believed the rise of her successor, King James I, marked the end of an era of Catholic persecution. Under pressure to balance the religious demands of Puritans and other groups, King James I openly expressed his “’utter detestation’ of Catholics”(Robinson). Whereas many English Catholics accepted their fate on the fringes of society, a small group led by Robert Catesby sought retribution. Although the conspiracy to attack Parliament and King James I captured national attention, the only record we have of the proceedings against Father Henry Garnet and the other assailants can be found in A True and Perfect Relation of the Whole Proceedings Against the Late and Most Barbarous Traitors, Garnet a Jesuite and his Confederats.
  • Elisabeth Parr's Renaissance at the Mid-Tudor Court

    Elisabeth Parr's Renaissance at the Mid-Tudor Court

    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal 2013, vol. 8 Elisabeth Parr’s Renaissance at the Mid-Tudor Court Helen Graham-Matheson oan Kelly’s ground-breaking article, “Did Women Have a Renaissance?” Jcenters on four criteria for ascertaining the “relative contraction (or expansion) of the powers of Renaissance women”: women’s economic, political, cultural roles and the ideology about women across the mid- Tudor period. Focusing particularly on cultural and political roles, this essay applies Kelly’s criteria to Elisabeth Parr née Brooke, Marchioness of Northampton (1526–1565) and sister-in-law of Katherine Parr, Henry VIII’s last wife, whose controversial court career evinces women’s lived experience and their contemporary political importance across the mid- Tudor courts of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. By taking each reign in isolation, this essay follows Kelly’s call to question “accepted schemes of periodization” and reassesses whether “events that further the historical development of men, liberating them from natural, social, or ideological constraints, have quite different, even opposite, effects upon women.”1 The key point of departure of my essay from Kelly’s argument is that she states that women’s involvement in the public sphere and politics lessened in the Italian cinquecento, whereas my findings suggest that in England women such as Elisabeth Parr increasingly involved themselves in the public world of court politics. According to Kelly, 1 Joan Kelly, ”Did Women Have a Renaissance?” Feminism and Renaissance Studies, ed. L.

Thomas Wintour and Littleton, on their way from Huddington to Holbeche House, were told by a messenger that Catesby had died. Details of the assassination attempt were allegedly known by the principal Jesuit of England, Father Henry Garnet. Synopsis About this title With a narrative that grips the reader like a detective story, Antonia Fraser brings the characters and events of the Gunpowder Plot to life. Seven of the prisoners were taken from the Tower to the Star Chamber by barge. As news of "John Johnson's" arrest spread among the plotters still in London, most fled northwest, along Watling Street.

TEXTUS INEDITI ANTONIO POSSEVINO'S TRIBUTE TO EDMUND CAMPION JOHN PATRICK DONNELLY, S.J. - Marquette University, Milwaukee. During June of 1580 Edmund Campion and Robert Persons were smuggled into England and worked with marked success until Campion's capture by the English government on July 17, 1581. He was tried for treason and executed December 1, 1581. The treason charges were widely disbelieved in England and on the Continent; indeed the execution caused such resent­ ment throughout Catholic Europe that the English government felt com­ pelled to justify its action. The most important English apology was The Execution of Justice in England, which first appeared anonymously on 1 December 17, 1583 • Its real author was William Cecil, Lord Burghley. An expanded edition was published in 1584; since the English government wanted to present its case to the larger European world as well as to its own subjects, there were Latin, French, Dutch, and probably Italian and 2 German translations as early as 1584 • The news of Campion's execution created considerable stir in far away Poland. Even before Campion's martyrdom the famous Jesuit writer Peter Skarga had incorporated considerable material on the English martyrs in his popular Lives of the Saints of 1579. In 1583 there appeared at Vilna a Polish translation of Campion's Decem Rationes together with a short life of the author3 .
