The Survival of the Confraternities in Post-Reformation Dublin
The Survival of the Confraternities in Post-Reformation Dublin COLM LENNON St. Patrick 's College, Maynooth When the Reformation came to Dublin in the 1530s it might have seemed as if the age of the confraternities or religious guilds of the city was over. As elsewhere in Europe, these institutions provided conduits for obituar- ial prayer for members and their families, welfare for the deprived, education for the young, and pomp and pageantry for citizens during the civic year. Handsomely endowed with gifts of money, lands and houses, the guilds gave employment to an increasing number of lay-ap- pointed chaplains who celebrated mass at the confraternal altars in the parish churches of Dublin. By the early sixteenth century the guilds had acquired the titles to properties yielding hundreds of pounds per annum in rents from estates in the city, suburbs and vicinity. Membership incorporated men and women from all social orders within the munici- pality, although the preponderance of patrician brothers and sisters in certain key guilds such as those of St. Sythe's in St. Michan's, St. Anne's in St. Audoen's and Corpus Christi in St. Michael's parish was to be a significant feature of their later survival into the seventeenth century. Con- tinuity with medieval devotions was enshrined in the practices and pieties of the guilds, those of St. George and St. Mary's, Mulhuddard, providing an awning for holy wells to the east and west of the city, for example, and the fresco behind the altar of St. Anne's denoting veneration of the holy family. -
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. -

All that we know about him is that he was a prince of David's line who, in response to the decree of Cyrus, " went up " as leader of those who returned from captivity in Babylon; and, in spite of many discouragements, carried through the rebuilding of God's temple in Jerusalem; an ordinary man, pro- bably, who succeeded where a genius might have failed; who rose to the demand made upon his patriotism by the circumstances of his time; who was great only because he did not shirk an unattractive duty; one who did not make history, but brought an epoch to the birth; felix opportunitate nativitatis ejus. -
The Death and Funeral of Edward Carson
The death and funeral of Edward Carson Edward Carson had contracted bronchial pneumonia in June 1935 but by July he was out of danger. During this period Dr Charles D’Arcy, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, paid a visit to see his fellow Dubliner. Carson confided to the Primate, ‘I have seen much to shake my faith and what remains with me is no more than I learned at my mother’s knee: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son …”’. The Archbishop assured Ned, his old friend, that John 3:16 was ‘enough’. While Carson recovered, his health was nevertheless fatally weakened. By the early autumn his strength began to ebb away and at 8:00 on the morning of 22 October 1935 at Cleve Court, a Queen Anne house in the Isle of Thanet, Kent, Carson died. Carson had left no instructions in his will as to where he wished to be buried but in conversation with Lord Craigavon (as Sir James Craig had become in 1927) he had expressed a desire to be buried in the land, in Craigavon’s words, for which ‘he fought so long, so valiantly and so successfully’. In a broadcast the Prime Minister announced that the Northern Ireland Government would provide a state funeral and that Carson would be buried St Anne’s Cathedral. Craigavon introduced special legislation in the Northern Ireland House of Commons to enable the burial to take place in the Cathedral. The legislation passed through all its stages there and in the Senate in one sitting. -

CNI News 14 October Work together and be innovative, says C of E rural school report Plaque In Memory Of Seamus Heaney Dedicated At the dedication of the plaque in memory of Seamus Heaney in Nun’s Cross Church, Killiskey were Jenny McCrohan, Christopher Heaney, Anna Rose, Marie Heaney, Archdeacon Ricky Rountree, the Revd Ken Rue and Fr Eamonn Crosson Family and friends of Seamus Heaney gathered in Nun’s Cross Church, Killiskey, last night, Sunday 13 October, for the dedication of a plaque in memory of the celebrated poet. The Nobel Laureate was connected to the area through the nearby Glanmore Cottage where he lived with his wife Marie for five years in the 1970s. He maintained a close connection with the area and visited regularly as he sought inspiration for his poetry. He bought the cottage when it went on the Page 1 CNI News 14 October market in 1988 and divided his time between Dublin and Wicklow. Last night’s service was attended by Marie Heaney and the couple’s son Christopher along with his wife Jenny McCrohan and their daughter Anna Rose. Welcoming them, the Vicar the Revd Ken Rue noted that the Heaney family had been very generous to the church. The dedication took place after the Wicklow and Killiskey Harvest Thanksgiving Service. The Vicar was joined by the Archdeacon of Glendalough, the Ven Ricky Rountree, who preached and dedicated the plaque and the new Parish Priest of Ashford, the Very Revd Eamonn Crosson, who read the Gospel. A number of Seamus Heaney’s poems were read during the service. -

To Plant and Improve: Justifying the Consolidation of Tudor and Stuart Rule in Ireland, 1509 to 1625 Samantha Watson A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Languages Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences September 2014 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Watson First name: Samantha Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Humanities and Languages Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Title: To plant and improve: justifying the consolidation of Tudor and Stuart rule in Ireland, 1509 to 1625. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis aims to examine the ideologies employed in justifying English conquest and plantation of Ireland between 1509 and 1625. It adopts the methodology of a contextualist intellectual history, which situates the sources within the intellectual and material world, and in relation to the publically approved paradigms, available to the authors. The thesis encompasses a range of source material - correspondence, policy papers and published tracts - from major and minor figures in government and undertakers of colonisation schemes. The source material will be examined with respect to the major upheavals in intellectual culture in late medieval and early modern England and, in particular, the impact of major pan- European movements, the Protestant Reformation and the Renaissance. Focussing on the ethics associated with the spread of Renaissance humanism and Calvinist Protestantism, it explores socio-political ideas in England and examines the ways that these ideas were expressed in relation to Ireland. -

The Schottenklöster in the World: Identity, Independence and Integration*
chapter 16 The Schottenklöster in the World: Identity, Independence and Integration* Diarmuid Ó Riain Introduction One of the central concerns of the original Enclaves of Learning, Religion, Ideology and Practice working group was to examine the multifaceted connec- tions between the “enclave” and the surrounding world and to illustrate how texts produced within these communities served to both record and reinter- pret this interaction as well as having the potential to change the underlying relationships.1 This approach essentially treats of the physical, legal or other factors underpinning the identification as an enclave of learning, religion, ideol- ogy and practice within the broader context of the institution’s social relations, thereby seeking to redress the potentially problematic semantic implications of the term “enclave”. The focus of my paper will be the so-called Schottenklöster or Irish Benedictine monasteries, which were established between the later 11th and early 13th centuries in modern-day southern Germany and Austria. That the monasteries of medieval Europe were deeply embedded in the wider social environment rather than detached islands goes, of course, almost with- out saying.2 This reality coexisted, however, with what Hallinger called the traditional gegenweltliche instincts of monasticism, and the rhetoric of with- drawal from the world would always remain prominent, particularly in the context of the emergence of new monastic movements.3 What makes the Schottenklöster an especially interesting case-study with regard to the interplay between idealized detachment and actual integration is the issue of ethnicity; the Irish identity of the monasteries was their sine qua non, and, accordingly, had a profound influence on the level of independence and integration they * The research for this article was funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF): F42 Visions of Community. -
The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system. -

Charting a Future with Confidence Moving on with Confidence
Charting a Future with Confidence Moving on with Confidence Foreword As a young person nurtured in faith, and growing up in these United Dioceses of Cork, Cloyne and Ross I, and many others, used to canoe on the Owenabue River, from Drake’s Pool to Crosshaven or Currabinny. We were brought up all those years ago on the folklore that Sir Francis Drake, the great Elizabethan sea captain, had, allegedly, sailed up that river to evade the Spanish Armada, and had hidden at the point in the river that now bears his name. It was he who, in 1587, when Bishop William Lyon was the first Reformation Bishop of the Diocese, wrote to Queen Elizabeth I’s Private Secretary, Sir Francis Walsingham, and said: There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory. All these centuries on, these words are true of many enterprises, and for us now here, in relation to Charting a Future with Confidence. When the idea was put forward it was always clear that it would not be an instant recipe or a magic wand, but rather, that it is a process. This report, completed after consultation, prayerful reflection, research and discussion, is now presented to you at this stage of this continuing process. The call to each of you in the Diocese is to engage with it now and to move forward with the process of charting, under God, a confident future here. We need everyone to do this in equal measure. Already new phases of this strategy are under way.
