From her tortured religious history to the realities of her multicultural and secular Writers present-day, England has always been a bellwether for Catholics.

Legend has it that Pope Gregory, inspired Barbara Monzon-Puleo by the sight of blond English children (“Angles’ who he dubbed “Angeli”) for sale in Christopher Gillibrand slave markets, dispatched Augustine and his monks to bring the Faith there.

Christianity thereafter grew strong roots in ’Angle-land’; Canterbury is still the Layout/Graphic Designer ancient seat of the Church. In the light of history, scholars today argue that the Reformation was top-down, imposed by a tyrant and later cemented by a ‘robber Phil Roussin class’ of avaricious barons enriched by stolen Church wealth. Certainly the more than 400 official martyrs murdered by the Crown in those tragic days attest to the Photography Credits: strength of the Faith. Many Catholics fled underground – and over the Channel -- Harry Stevens for more than two centuries until the Toleration Acts of 1823. The recusant families Michael Durnan stubbornly remained.

Today, the Oxbridge nexus and London’s power in the global financial markets give the British media and its intellectual class Webmaster tremendous influence. While this has been true for centuries, the Internet today extends this beyond the confines of the academy and the world of journalism. The Jim Bryant Catholic Church has long held pariah status with these elites, of course. England’s unparalleled intellectual heritage makes independent thinkers, however – as the stories of the famous Oxford Movement converts illustrate. This remains true today, as we shall see in this issue. REGINA Magazine is a quarterly Catholic review published electronically on www.reginamag.com. Within England, the Catholic Church is news. The Anglican Ordinariate provides a home for new converts fleeing the modernist hegemony of the Established Church.

  • Quafter Concluded from Page 18
    Quafter Concluded from page 18. Previous to the days of railways, when roads were bad and communication difficult and expensive, Friends did not often go far from home. Heads of families, sometimes accom­ panied by their sons and daughters, would occasionally go to the Quarterly Meetings, but we can see by the intermarriages of families that acquaintanceship and society were generally limited to those who resided in the neighbourhood. Thus, in a county, the centre of a Monthly Meeting, we find, say, half a dozen families whose members were continually intermarrying. In the County Wexford, for instance, situated as it is in a corner of the island, there were the families of Davis, Woodcock, Sparrow, Martin, Poole, Sandwith, Goff, and Chamberlin, who married and inter­ married again and again. Cork people married Cork people, and so it was in Limerick and in Waterford, to a degree which nowadays we do not realise. Marriages between Ulster and Munster were, in the eighteenth century, very uncommon. Dublin, naturally, was a kind of meeting- point, and its importance as the capital, and being the seat of the largest Monthly Meeting, led to many marriages there of couples of whom one at least resided in the country. The old rule of not allowing second cousins to be passed for marriage of course very much limited choice. So many in that relationship have been united since the rule was relaxed that, we may take it, if such alteration had not taken place, a dead lock and a break up would have occurred. While the change, and, perhaps, that of allowing first and second cousins4 also to many, can hardly be regretted, it is to be hoped that the latitude sanctioned by London Yearly Meeting as regards first cousins may continue to be forbidden in this country.5 All are agreed that as regards consanguinity 4 What we in this country understand by this term, is the relationship between a person and the child of his first cousin.

  • DISSERTATION-Submission Reformatted
    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

This document aims to guide Governing Bodies in the production of a policy to support their schools as they, in turn, support the formation of the children and young adults they serve. The document is intended to underpin the process of policy formation and should be read in conjunction with the Diocese’s guidance on teaching and learning about human relationships and sex education. It outlines: • The Legal Context • Roles and responsibilities • A policy framework It is recognised that this is a challenging area for schools as they are at the meeting point of Church and the wider world where the values of the Catholic faith may appear distant from lived experience. Human relationships and sex education offers more scope for deepening understanding about the nature of human love, than sex and relationships education. This is because in the Christ centred vision of life, human dignity informs all our actions and interactions with others.

A complex web of personal associations and informal alliances underpinned politics and governance in Tudor England; but whereas a great deal is now understood about relations between both the political elite and the organs of government at the centre of affairs, many questions still remain unanswered about how networks of political actors functioned at a provincial and neighbourhood level, and how these networks kept in touch with one another, central government and the court.
