I particular, I wish to acknowledge with gratitude the generosity and encouragement of the late Cardinal Thomas Winning, former Archbishop of Glasgow, who first gave me the encouragement and support to begin this study. In addition, I wish to thank sincerely the Most Reverend Mario Conti, the current Archbishop of Glasgow, for his continued support and encouragement, as well as for his much appreciated on-going interest in the progress of this work. 1 am deeply grateful to members of staff at the Department of Theology and Religious Studies of the University of Glasgow: their willingness to offer advice and assistance at all times is much appreciated. Especially, I wish to thank Professor John Riches, my former supervisor, for his help, as well as for his inspiration, and latterly, Julie Clague, who, with great patience and wisdom, assumed the burden of supervising this endeavour, doing so to an extent that was not only most helpful, but to an extent which frequently ran well above the normal course of duty! Grateful thanks must be given to my former teachers in Seminary, the former St. Peter’s College. In particular, I must single out for mention two men whose enthusiasm for, and expertise in matters Biblical, have done more than any others to instil in me a love for Biblical studies, namely the Very Rev. James Foley, and the Rev. John Fitzsimmons. Colleagues in the priesthood have done more than they realise to support and affirm my work; my sincere thanks go to all of them. Many people have contributed insights and information which have allowed this study to grow: I wish to acknowledged every such contribution, while at the same time taking sole responsibility of deficiencies and errors which occur. I dedicate this study to my immediate family: may late mother, my father, and my sister. Abstract This study offers a model for a hermeneutically aware contemporary understanding of Biblical Inspiration, as the Spirit-animated response to symbolic Revelation. It is supported by Biblical scholarship and philosophical hermeneutics; its compatibility with doctrinal requirements of the Catholic Church is also demonstrated. Chapter 1 surveys sources traditionally called upon to defend Inspiration; New Testament passages, and official church statements. A critique of these highlights what they actually tell us about Inspiration. Chapter 2 evaluates past and recent theories of Inspiration, and critiques the traditional Principle of Instrumental Efficient Causality. It also considers opinions of scholars, from Lagrange to Hoffmann, to provide a basis for this particular model. Chapter 3 outlines the model, assessing the contribution of the symbol for a theory of Revelation which accompanies the model of Inspiration given here. Tillich, Fawcett, Polanyi, Wheelwright, Dulles and Ricoeur are among scholars whose insights are called upon. Ricoeur provides the necessary philosophical hermeneutics for the validation of the model. Finally, Biblical evidence is sought for the contention that this model is identifiably at work in Scripture; Brueggemann and Westermann provide insights from some prophets and the psalms, which support the proposed model; they also, with Perrin, Crossan, and others, provide support from the New Testament. Chapter 4 explains how metaphor and myth can aid the interpretation of symbol in Scripture. Through Ricoeur’s proposed five types of Revelatory Scriptural discourse, the chapter proposes that Ricoeur’s model of Revelatory discourse is closer to what this study calls Inspiration. Chapter 5 shows the compatibility of the model for Inspiration with Catholic Magisterial pronouncements. Drawing from contemporary readings of Scripture by Mesters, Mabon, Dewey, Belo and Best, the study demonstrates that this model satisfies academic requirements and also is relevant for the person of faith’s reading of Scripture, whether in the church of today, or the past, thereby providing theological underpinning for the Second Vatican Council’s desire that the Bible be made available to the widest possible readership.

APPENDIX page 276 BIBLIOGRAPHY page 281 Introduction: Why bother about Inspiration? Many scholars today would doubt whether pursuing the question of Biblical Inspiration is worth the effort involved. Some have dismissed the concept as irrelevant for today, for example, the brothers A. T. and R. P. C Hanson declare that, not only is it impossible for intelligent people to subscribe to the traditional doctrines of inerrancy and inspiration, but that these represent a deviation in Christian doctrine (although they do concede that the Holy Spirit may have used such erroneous theorising to good use in the past).' John Barton doubts whether the concept is useful,^ and Karl Rahner observes that some scholars are apparently happy to endorse inspiration, but don’t bring it into their exegetical work,^ while still others give up the pursuit of a meaningful description of Inspiration, because they conclude that the problems associated with it are beyond solution."' Sandra Schneiders notes a strange outcome of this: that some scholars who undertake quite sophisticated research share a view with people of very unsophisticated and simple faith, because both categories are prepared to accept the reality of inspiration, but are unable to give a rational explanation!^ Finally, there is a significant group of scholars who believe that it is not only possible and desirable to try to say something useful about Inspiration, but, as Martini maintains, perhaps even necessary for theology to day. ^ Add to the list Pierre Benoit, Karl Rahner, Roderick A. F. MacKenzie, John L. ' See Collins, R. F., ‘Inspiration’, 65:72, p. 1033, in Brown, R. E., Fitzmyer, J.

I believe that the answer is in the affirmative.

A SPIRIT of joy filled St Andrew’s Cathedral as children and young people with additional support needs joined Archbishop Philip Tartaglia for Mass.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See MESSAGE OF POPE JOHN PAUL II TO CARDINAL WINNING ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE ARRIVAL OF ST NINIAN IN SCOTLAND To my Venerable Brother Cardinal Thomas Winning Archbishop of Glasgow As the Church in Scotland returns in memory to its origins and celebrates the 1600th anniversary of the arrival of St Ninian in Galloway in 397 A.D., I send you cordial greetings in the Lord and ask you to convey to your brother Bishops and to the clergy, religious and lay faithful the assurance of my prayerful participation in this joyous commemoration. The life and apostolate of St Ninian are traditionally considered as marking the introduction of Christianity into your country. This then is a time for all Scottish Christians to give thanks to our heavenly Father who, through his chosen instruments, especially Ninian, Mungo and Columba, caused to shine in your hearts "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ" (cf. 2 Cor 4:6). A Briton by birth, Ninian’s education was essentially Roman and after his ordination as a Bishop, probably in Rome, he returned to Scotland as its first missionary. His foundation of Candida Casa in Galloway in south-west Scotland, later to be known as Whithorn, was the beginning of a vital centre of monastic spiritual life and evangelizing activity which, under Ninian’s inspiration, spread the Gospel message northwards and eastwards over much of the country, as witnessed to in so many place-names and local traditions which refer to him. Ninian’s mission to Scotland should be seen as a part of the wider picture of the great missionary enterprises which brought Christianity to every corner of Europe during the first millennium.

  • Catrine's Other Churches
    OTHER CHURCHES IN CATRINE THE UNITED SECESSION CHURCH (Later: The United Presbyterian Church) he 1891 Census states that in its early days the population of Catrine “…contained a goodly sprinkling of Dissenters…some of whom travelled to Cumnock to the TWhig Kirk at Rigg, near Auchinleck; but a much larger number went to the Secession Church at Mauchline. The saintly Mr Walker, minister there, becoming frail and not able to attend to all his flock, this (ie.1835) was thought to be a suitable time to take steps to have a church in Catrine”. An application for a site near the centre of the village was made to the Catrine Cotton Works Company, but this was refused by the then resident proprietor who said that: “He could not favour dissent.” A meeting of subscribers was held on 16th June 1835 when it was decided to approach Mr Claud Alexander of Ballochmyle with a request for ground. Mr Alexander duly granted them a site at the nominal sum of sixpence per fall. (A fall was equal to one square perch – about 30.25 square yards.) Another meeting of subscribers on 12th April 1836 authorised obtaining a loan of up to £350 to cover the cost of erecting a building on the site at the foot of Cowan Brae (i.e. at the corner where the present day Mauchline Road joins Ballochmyle Street). James Ingram of St.Germain Street, father of the eminent architect Robert Samson Ingram of Kilmarnock, was appointed to draw out plans. A proposal was approved to place a bottle containing the County newspaper in the foundation.

  • Cardinal Winning Lecture 2019
    Cardinal Winning Lecture Ex umbris et imaginibus in veritatem Glasgow, 16 November 2019 Dear Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli, Dr Roisín Coll, and distinguished Academics of the University, Your Grace Archbishop Philip Tartaglia and brother bishops of Scotland, Ladies and Gentlemen. When I say that I am delighted to join you this morning, I am not being diplomatic; I mean it. I am most grateful for the joint invitation from the University and the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Scotland to give the Cardinal Winning Lecture this Year. Real bishops, like the gentlemen here present, have dioceses, the names of which are well known to you. Bishops like your servant have a titular see, normally the name of a suppressed diocese, often in North Africa. In my case I am more fortunate- it pays to have friends at court - I am no less than the Titular Archbishop of Hodelm or Haddam, which is just outside Lockerbie. It was a monastic foundation established by St Mungo and is to be found in the modern Diocese of Galloway, so I renew my promise to Bishop William Nolan not to cause him any trouble. So, I have a cherished connection with Scotland. Cardinal Thomas Winning was Archbishop of Glasgow when I was ordained priest in Liverpool 42 years ago. My own Archbishop was Derek Warlock. The two men were chalk and cheese. Warlock was made to be a mandarin in Whitehall, whereas he once remarked that Thomas Winning was "a bit of a street-fighter". Everyone recognised in Cardinal Winning a man of depth Catholic faith, a committed pastor of 1 God's people and a man of conviction and principle.

  • The Church in Sixteenth-Century Glasgow
    Servants to St. Mungo: The Church in Sixteenth-Century Glasgow by Daniel MacLeod A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Daniel MacLeod, May, 2013 ABSTRACT SERVANTS TO ST MUNGO: THE CHURCH IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY GLASGOW Daniel MacLeod Advisors: University of Guelph, 2013 Dr. Elizabeth Ewan Dr. Peter Goddard This thesis investigates religious life in Glasgow, Scotland in the sixteenth century. As the first full length study of the town’s Christian community in this period, this thesis makes use of the extant Church documents to examine how Glaswegians experienced Christianity during the century in which religious change was experienced by many communities in Western Europe. This project includes research from both before and after 1560, the year of the Reformation Parliament in Scotland, and therefore eschews traditional divisions used in studies of this kind that tend to view 1560 as a major rupture for Scotland’s religious community. Instead, this study reveals the complex relationships between continuity and change in Glasgow, showing a vibrant Christian community in the early part of the century and a changed but similarly vibrant community at the century’s end. This project attempts to understand Glasgow’s religious community holistically. It investigates the institutional structures of the Church through its priests and bishops as well as the popular devotions of its parishioners. It includes examinations of the sacraments, Church discipline, excommunication and religious ritual, among other Christian phenomena. The dissertation follows many of these elements from their medieval Catholic roots through to their Reformed Protestant derivations in the latter part of the century, showing considerable links between the traditions.

With just over a month to go before the Pope arrives Cardinal Keith O’Brien of St Andrews and Edinburgh and Archbishop Mario Conti of Glasgow admitted the run up to the Papal visit had not been without problems. Both men said they were confident the Pope’s time here would be a resounding success however. Benefits and boosts Cardinal O’Brien said that the Church had not had long to prepare for the Pope’s arrival but the benefits would be extraordinary. “The Bishops of Scotland believe that the reli- gious meaning and social value of a personal visit to our country from the Successor of Peter far out- weigh the practical and financial problems which we continue to face and try to solve,” he said. Archbishop Conti said that the presence of the Pope would give the Church in Scotland a vital boost after a difficult period. “At times we may all feel the Church has in recent months been under hostile scrutiny and that clergy particularly have been sifted like wheat,” he said.
