Armstrong Working Paper No. 2016-04 Version: 19 January, 2019 In the previous chapter, I outlined the different models of civil society which developed in the late medieval and early modern periods – the communicatio politica of the Medieval church and the societas civilis of Renaissance humanism. In this chapter, I will discuss the centuries- long development and reform of Catholic political doctrine in early and middle modernity,1 focussing particularly on the church’s conception of authority. It is of interest not just because this history informs the priest-leadership of the Antigonish Movement, but because it is the single most sustained intellectual debate we have about the nature and sources of authority in civil society. Unitary conceptions of sovereignty, whether of kingship or democracy, homogenize all political questions in terms of a single principle. Pluralist conceptions, on the other hand, provide for alternative answers built on different principles. The Augustinian theology of the heavenly and earthly cities is pluralist in this sense.

  • Alexander Cameron I: Rector
    CHAPTERVIII Alexander Cameron I: Rector John Geddes had ceased to be rector of the college on 1st Nov- ember 1780, having spent ten years in the position. His successor, Alexander Cameron, was to be rector for nearly twice as long. Cameron was born at Auchindryne, near Braemar, on 28th July 1747 (O.S.), the son of James Cameron and Marjory (or Helen) McIntosh. He was a grandnephew of Thomas Brockie, the priest for many years in the Cabrach, and was sent to live with him before, at the age of twelve, going to Scalan. There he spent four years, the last two under the tutelage of John Geddes, who had been sent to take charge of the little seminary in 1762. He went to the Scots College, Rome, in the autumn of 1764, travelling via Burntisland, Dunkirk, Paris, Marseilles and Leghorn, and reaching the Eternal City on 23rd December. During his seven years in Rome, Alexander Cameron is said to have received the favours of the Cardinal Duke of York, in recogni- tion of the loyalty of the clan to the Stuart cause and of the services his father had rendered in the risings of 1715 and 1745. It is also said that he excelled in his studies and was therefore subjected to considerable pressure (which he resisted) to join the Society of Jesus. Due to the great need for priests in Scotland, he was called home a year or so early, having been ordained on 2nd February .1772, and was appointed to be priest in charge of the mission at Strathavon in the south of Banffshire.
