"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. -
Jews, Radical Catholic Traditionalists, and the Extreme Right
“Artisans … for Antichrist”: Jews, Radical Catholic Traditionalists, and the Extreme Right Mark Weitzman* The Israeli historian, Israel J. Yuval, recently wrote: The Christian-Jewish debate that started nineteen hundred years ago, in our day came to a conciliatory close. … In one fell swoop, the anti-Jewish position of Christianity became reprehensible and illegitimate. … Ours is thus the first generation of scholars that can and may discuss the Christian-Jewish debate from a certain remove … a post- polemical age.1 This appraisal helped spur Yuval to write his recent controversial book Two Nations in Your Womb: Perceptions of Jews and Christians in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Yuval based his optimistic assessment on the strength of the reforms in Catholicism that stemmed from the adoption by the Second Vatican Council in 1965 of the document known as Nostra Aetate. Nostra Aetate in Michael Phayer’s words, was the “revolution- ary” document that signified “the Catholic church’s reversal of its 2,000 year tradition of antisemitism.”2 Yet recent events in the relationship between Catholics and Jews could well cause one to wonder about the optimism inherent in Yuval’s pronouncement. For, while the established Catholic Church is still officially committed to the teachings of Nostra Aetate, the opponents of that document and of “modernity” in general have continued their fight and appear to have gained, if not a foothold, at least a hearing in the Vatican today. And, since in the view of these radical Catholic traditionalists “[i]nternational Judaism wants to radically defeat Christianity and to be its substitute” using tools like the Free- * Director of Government Affairs, Simon Wiesenthal Center. -
Pain, Identity, and Emotional Communities in Nineteenth-Century English Convent Culture Carmen M
‘Why, would you have me live upon a gridiron?’: Pain, Identity, and Emotional Communities in Nineteenth-Century English Convent Culture Carmen M. Mangion I Introduction Polemicist and social critic Ivan Illich has outlined the importance of culture in furnishing means of experiencing, expressing, and understanding pain: ‘Precisely because culture provides a mode of organizing this experience, it provides an important condition for health care: it allows individuals to deal with their own pain.’1 The history of pain, approached through phenomenology (the lived experience of pain focused on subjectivity) and the various rhetorics of pain (narratives, rituals, symbols, etc.), can bring into sharp relief, as Illich has inferred, how pain is culturally derived and embedded in a society’s values and norms. Thus, the context of pain is critical as society and culture infuses it with a multiplicity of meanings. This essay explores nineteenth-century Catholic interpretations of pain, utilizing biography to examine how and why corporeal pain functioned as a means of both reinforcing Catholic beliefs in the utility of pain and of coping with pain. This does not necessarily imply that bodily pain was encouraged, enthusiastically welcomed, or self-inflicted. This article explores unwanted pain; not the self-inflicted pain of mortification or the violent pain of martyrdom that are often featured in medieval or early modern histories of pain. It will examine this unwanted pain in a defined space, the convent, and through a particular source, the biography of Margaret Hallahan (1803– 1868), founder of the Dominican Sisters of St Catherine of Siena, written by the future prioress, convert Augusta Theodosia Drane (1823–1894; in religion, Mother Francis Raphael) in 1869. -
Friars' Bookshelf 53
The Church Incarnate. By Rudolf Schwarz. Translated by Cynthia Harris. Regnery. 232 pp. $7.50. The Church Incarnate is a rare book, a profound exposition of the meaning of architecture in its sacred function of church building. Its author, Rudolf Schwarz, is one of Germany's greatest living archi tects. So it is indeed a rare occasion when an artist of such stature combines with intensity of creative vision the ability to communicate by written word his insights and discoveries. Departing from the common trend of much modern Church architecture, in which functional formalism predominates (shapes smoothly blended, now to startle, now to serve), the author searches for the fundamental meaning of forms and surfaces as they build, not streamlined serviceable frameworks, but rather the sacred space there in contained, the space where the sacrificial act of Christian cult takes place. Redeemed mankind's relation to God, though objectively and dogmatically hopeful, has throughout history assumed varied modali ties, sometimes anguished, other times confidently familiar, occasional ly fatalistic. The spiritual climates engendered by these modalities have inevitably shaped the plans of its temples. All such plans can be reduced to six basic designs, six funda mental structures whose hollows embody the plight of man in the face of eternity. These are not merely elemental geometric shapes out of which beautiful constructions can rise. Rather they are vital spatial relations which, using the universe as platform, represent, as natural images, the ineffable kinship of man to his Maker. Their symbolism is not, therefore, arbitrarily imposed upon them by the human artist whose function is best described as revealing the meaning that God, from all eternity, had placed in the component forms of the plans. -
John Bradburne Prayers
90308 Prayers to John Bradburne A6_Nre John Bradburne Leaflet 30/01/2014 12:25 Page 1 JOHN BRADBURNE John Bradburne Third Order Franciscan, mystic, poet and friend of lepers. Born in England in 1921, he served with the Gurkhas in Malaya and Burma Prayers during World War II. A Pauline-like conversion led him to become a pilgrim seeker, first with the Benedictines, then the Carthusians, but remained a layman to the end. His search for God’s will led him through England, Europe and the Holy Land, mostly on foot. In 1962 he went to “seek a cave” in Zimbabwe. Instead he found Mutemwa Leprosy Settlement. There he tended a flock of 80 leprosy patients with loving care, laying down his life for them on September 5th, 1979. At his funeral, a pool of blood was seen beneath his coffin. On opening it, there was no evidence where the blood had come from. However, an oversight was revealed: John had not been clothed in th e habit of St. Francis, as is the privilege of members of the Third Order, and had been John’s wish. The habit was found and John was clothed in it. Since his death there have been many signs of his sanctity: reports of miracles, claims of cures, as well as many answers to prayer. More important, many have turned to God through John’s extraordinary example. Strange Vagabond “God’s love within you is your native land. So search none other, never more depart. For you are homeless save God keeps your heart.” (JRB) For further information, donations, petitions and favours granted, contact: THE JOHN BRADBURNE MEMORIAL SOCIETY. -

Letter from Japan, to the Society of Jesus in Europe, 15521 Francis Xavier Was One of the First Members of T
St. Francis Xavier: Letter from Japan, to the Society of Jesus there is nothing of which they are so proud as of weapons adorned with in Europe, 15521 gold and silver. They always wear swords and daggers both in and out of Francis Xavier was one of the first members of the Jesuits. In the house, and when they go to sleep they hang them at the bed’s head. In 1541, he left Europe as a missionary to the “East Indies.” He spent short, they value arms more than any people I have ever seen. They are time in India, where he met a Japanese man named Anger who converted to Christianity and took the name Paul. Xavier travelled to excellent archers, and usually fight on foot, though there is no lack of Japan in 1549 and worked as a missionary there until 1552; he horses in the country. They are very polite to each other, but not to planned a missionary trip to China, but died of illness in 1552. These two letters report on his trip to Japan. The first was intended to be sent foreigners, whom they utterly despise. They spend their means on arms, back to Europe and therefore gives more background information; the bodily adornment, and on a number of attendants, and do not in the least second was sent to the Jesuits in India and therefore has more detailed care to save money. They are, in short, a very warlike people, and engaged information.2 in continual wars among themselves; the most powerful in arms bearing May the grace and charity of our Lord Jesus Christ be ever with the most extensive sway. -

Gabrielli All rights reserved 2014 iii ABSTRACT SOLIDARITY MEDIATION IN THE FRENCH STREAM OF MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST THEOLOGY Name: Gabrielli, Timothy R. University of Dayton Advisor: William L. Portier, Ph.D. In its analysis of mystical body of Christ theology in the twentieth century, this dissertation identifies three major streams of mystical body theology operative in the early part of the century: the Roman, the German-Romantic, and the French-Social- Liturgical. Delineating these three streams of mystical body theology sheds light on the diversity of scholarly positions concerning the heritage of mystical body theology, on its mid twentieth-century recession, as well as on Pope Pius XII’s 1943 encyclical, Mystici Corporis Christi, which enshrined “mystical body of Christ” in Catholic magisterial teaching. Further, it links the work of Virgil Michel and Louis-Marie Chauvet, two scholars remote from each other on several fronts, in the long, winding French stream. -
