Henry Edward Manning and the Teaching Office of the Church THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL HENRY EDWARD MANNING AND THE TEACHING OFFICE OF THE CHURCH being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Rev. Jose Santiago Pereira, M.A. (U. of Navarre, Spain) July, 1995 Summary of Thesis submitted for PhD degree by Rev. Jose Santiago Pereiro on Henry Edward Manning and the Teaching Office of the Church Manning considered that the end of education was the formation of man, helping him achieve his full stature. From a Christian perspective, this implied a remoulding of man's mind, heart and will after the perfect model of humanity as found in Jesus Christ. He is not only the example but also the author of that transformation: Christ's revelation is the only key for the human intellectual to have access to divine truth, and his grace is the only hand which can truly transform the human heart; they changed man into the likeness of God. It was, therefore, of paramount importance, for the process of education, to be able to establish the test to identify with certainty divine truth and to distinguish it from error. In the mid 1840s he found that the Anglican Rule of Faith - Scripture interpreted by Tradition - provided him with an incomplete answer. Who was the judge to apply that rule without error? In 1847 he discovered that the Holy Spirit, who had led the Apostles into the full truth, was stilI the teacher of the Church: a divine, and therefore infallible teacher, teaching through a human voice. Next it was necessary to determine which one was the Church where the Holy Spirit dwelt. Manning concluded that it was the Catholic Church; there it was that the Holy Spirit spoke by the voice of its legitimate Pastors, specially through the Pope. Manning knew that, within the Catholic Church, some of these truths had not been as solemnly defined or were as universally accepted as he would have desired. He constantly preached those vital principles, and had to defend them not only against Anglicans but also against a few Catholics who did not have a clear perception of them. Once the Vatican Council was convoked, he made it his aim to have those principles clearly and solemnly defined. Only then would they shine in all their splendour and produce their full fruits. 1.

CONCLUSIONS 285 ABBREVIATIONS AND BIBLIOGRAPHY 291 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to all who, with their ideas and encouragement, have made this study possible. The years spent researching Manning's intellectual development are full of warm memories of those who had given me a generous share of their time and knowledge, and, in particular, of their friendship. Special mention should be made of the Rt. Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Rowell, Dr. Sheridan Gilley and Dr. Peter Nockles. The Newman-Manning'Symposiums, organised by Prof. Biemar and Prof. McClelland in Freiburg in 1993, 1994 and 1995, offered me the opportunity to learn much from them, besides enjoying their company. I have a very special debt of gratitude to Dr. Peter Erb, of Wilfrid Laurier University (Ontario), who made available to me the Gladstone-Manning correspondence which he is editing; he was also patient enough to go over the draft text of the first chapters of the thesis, making some very useful suggestions. I must also thank Mr. Andrew Hegarty for having helped me revise chapters four to eight. Dr. Jean Garnett gave me useful leads when studying Butler's influence on Manning and on some of his contemporaries. Last, but obviously not least, I wish to thank Prof. Vincent Alan McClelland. He introduced me to the subject, and, with his stupendous familiarity with Manning and his time, has been a sure guide and helped me avoid many a pitfall, beside being a continuous source of encouragement and assistance in the past few years. It is thanks to him that the thesis has been such an enjoyable experience for me. No amount of help can completely eliminate personal errors and mistakes: of them all I take full and sole responsibility. 6 INTRODUCTION Manning was introduced into the subject of education by Bishop Otter in the late 1830s.

'THE 1902 EDUCATION ACT AND ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS: A STUDY OF A COMMUNITY'S EFFORTS TO GAIN AND TO PRESERVE DENOMINATIONAL EDUCATION IN ITS SCHOOLS. ' PRESENTED BY JOHN CASHMAN. DEGREE: Ph. D. 1985. , VC7LVME OIJ% The Thesis is dedicated, with respect and gratitude, to the memory of Dr. Marjorie Cruickshank, Ph. D., M. A., Reader in Education the University at of Keele, who from 1978 was my Tutor to 1983, and who died on 27th. December, 1983, before the Thesis was presented. ABSTRACT. By 1902, a quarter of a million children were attending Catholic elementary schools in England and Wales. The thesis suggests that the initial impetus for the founding of these schools was the desire of the Catholic immigrant community to manifest its identity in an alien and hostile environment. The presence of the Irish Nationalist Members of Parliament at West- minster encouraged the Catholic community by defending its schools whenever education issues were raised. The Cross Commission, 1885 - 1888, established to examine the working of the Education Acts, emphasised the inevitability of the demise of the voluntary school system, unless it was assisted financially to compete with the board schools.

  • John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal
    John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal Ágnes Juhász-Ormsby The Episcopal Library of St. John’s is among the few nineteenth- century libraries that survive in their original setting in the Atlantic provinces, and the only one in Newfoundland and Labrador.1 It was established by John Thomas Mullock (1807–69), Roman Catholic bishop of Newfoundland and later of St. John’s, who in 1859 offered his own personal collection of “over 2500 volumes as the nucleus of a Public Library.” The Episcopal Library in many ways differs from the theological libraries assembled by Mullock’s contemporaries.2 When compared, for example, to the extant collection of the Catholic bishop of Victoria, Charles John Seghers (1839–86), whose life followed a similar pattern to Mullock’s, the division in the founding collection of the Episcopal Library between the books used for “private” as opposed to “public” theological study becomes even starker. Seghers’s books showcase the customary stock of a theological library with its bulky series of manuals of canon law, collections of conciliar and papal acts and bullae, and practical, dogmatic, moral theological, and exegetical works by all the major authors of the Catholic tradition.3 In contrast to Seghers, Mullock’s library, although containing the constitutive elements of a seminary library, is a testimony to its found- er’s much broader collecting habits. Mullock’s books are not restricted to his philosophical and theological studies or to his interest in univer- sal church history. They include literary and secular historical works, biographies, travel books, and a broad range of journals in different languages that he obtained, along with other necessary professional 494 newfoundland and labrador studies, 32, 2 (2017) 1719-1726 John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal tools, throughout his career.

    "ROME'S RECRUITS" a Hist of PROTESTANTS WHO HAVE BECOME CATHOLICS SINCE THE TRACTARIAN MOVEMENT. Re-printed, with numerous additions and corrections, from " J^HE ^HITEHALL j^EYIEW" Of September 28th, October 5th, 12th, and 19th, 1878. ->♦<- PUBLISHED AT THE OFFICE OF " THE WHITEHALL REVIEW." And Sold by James Parker & Co., 377, Strand, and at Oxford; and by Burns & Oates, Portman Street, W. 1878. PEEFACE. HE publication in four successive numbers of The Whitehall Review of the names of those Protestants who have become Catholics since the Tractarian move ment, led to the almost general suggestion that Rome's Recruits should be permanently embodied in a pamphlet. This has now been done. The lists which appeared in The Whitehall Review have been carefully revised, corrected, and considerably augmented ; and the result is the compilation of what must be regarded as the first List of Converts to Catholicism of a reliable nature. While the idea of issuing such a statement of" Perversions " or " Conversions " was received with unanimous favour — for the silly letter addressed to the Morning Post by Sir Edward Sullivan can only be regarded as the wild effusion of an ultra-Protestant gone very wrong — great curiosity has been manifested as to the sources from whence we derived our information. The modus operandi was very simple. Possessed of a considerable nucleus, our hands were strengthened immediately after the appearance of the first list by 071 XT PREFACE. the co-operation of nearly all the converts themselves, who hastened to beg the addition of their names to the muster-roll.

  • GOLD TRIED 550 TIMES in the FIRE Timothy Alborn
    GOLD TRIED 550 TIMES IN THE FIRE Timothy Alborn Historians inevitably face the challenge of selecting a subset of primary sources to stand for a much larger body of research. This challenge is magnified in the case of the history of ideas, where the need to provide closer readings tends to diminish that already small sample size. My article, “The Greatest Metaphor Ever Mixed,” distilled hundreds of sources from numerous genres down to a few dozen. A section on the various uses of the metaphor of gold tried in the fire, for instance, quotes twenty-eight sources that employ that metaphor, or roughly five percent of the sources I consulted. To find all these sources, I pursued two parallel tracks. The first was part of a larger project on the cultural and economic history of gold in Britain from 1780 to 1850, which will soon be published by Oxford University Press. For this project, I spent the last eight years looking for references to gold wherever they showed up: in treatises, novels, sermons, speeches, and newspaper articles, among many other sources. The bulk of my research utilized such online databases as Eighteenth Century Collections Online, Making of the Modern World, and Google Books. After realizing, a few years into this research, that gold appeared frequently and with interesting variations in numerous religious contexts, I did more targeted search in these databases (see my full list of search terms below for “gold tried in the fire”). In a blog post accompanying a different article I published two years ago in the Journal of Victorian Culture, I made a first foray into providing access to the larger cultural world that historians must curtail in order to “see the forest for the trees.” (link).

Published in 2007 by Leyton & Leytonstone Historical Society 27 The Croft Friday Hill London E4 6EZ Website : www/leytonhistorysociety.org.uk printed in 2016 by Parchments of Oxford www.parchmentuk.com Author’s Note I had hoped to be able to refer to a report of an excavation carried out by English Heritage on the site of Leyton House in 1993. It was conducted under the auspices of the Newham Museum Service. This report was held by the Passmore Edwards Museum, but as the museum was closed some years ago I have been unable to see this document. 2 Leyton House Of all the great houses of Leyton, the very one named after the village of Low Leyton seems to be the least known, historically speaking, yet it has a rich history. The Leyton historian John Kennedy, writing in 1894, had little to say: The grounds of Etloe House join those of Leyton House, an old mansion built of red bricks, the characteristic of most Leyton houses of the olden times. The date of the building is uncertain, but it may be presumed that it was built some time early in the eighteenth century, perhaps even earlier1. The last house to have occupied the site was known alternatively as Leyton House, Park House2 or St Agnes’s Orphanage.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.
