Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. July 2012 i Abstract This thesis seeks to provide a grassroots study of the diocese of Middlesbrough (1779-1992), in order to contribute to the history of the English Catholic community since it emerged from the Penal Times. Secondly, it is an examination of the manifestation of revivalism and renewal in Catholic devotional practice. The geographical extent of the study covers an area of Yorkshire with a strong recusant history, and that period has been well-served in Catholic historiography. However, writing on the period following the easing of the Penal Laws on Catholics and into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is remarkable for the paucity of references to the diocese and the area that it covers. Therefore this study sheds light upon a particular Catholic community that has been largely invisible to historians. Although the Catholic community itself might appear to be invisible, the devotional practice within it offers many insights, such as the extent to which the social culture influenced the practice of faith. Therefore it teases out and examines the changing nature of devotional practice, and compares it to aspects of Evangelical revivalism that provided the surrounding religious culture. It also examines the influences that came to bear upon the community itself, assessing their importance in the revival and renewal of faith of the people within it. By examining the history of Catholic devotional practice in this area of Yorkshire, it comes to the conclusion that revivalism and renewal are integral elements in Catholic devotion and as a result Catholics and Evangelicals have more in common with each other than their adherents have been ready to acknowledge. ii Acknowledgements There are many people who have helped and supported me over the past few years without whom this doctoral study would not have been completed. First and foremost my thanks go to my supervisor, Dr Frances Knight, who has guided me throughout with patience and humour as well as understanding when family affairs intruded upon my time. Attempting a Ph.D. by studying part time and living at a distance from the University requires a supervisor with a lot of patience and some ingenuity in solving the inevitable difficulties that arise. Frances provided both and I am humbled by the fact that her confidence in me never wavered. I must thank also the Rt. Rev. Terence Drainey, Bishop of Middlesbrough for his support and encouragement and in giving his blessing for me to ask the 2009 Lourdes Pilgrims and the diocesan priests for their help. Thank you to those priests of the diocese who kindly helped me in the survey of 2009. So often, such requests are filed in the litter bin; therefore I am truly grateful for the excellent response to my request for help. Thanks must also go to the 2009 Lourdes Pilgrims who responded to my request to take part in the survey and to the people of the parish of Stokesley who took part in the pilot run of the survey. Especially warm thanks go to Liz Hoggett, who came to the rescue and collated and numbered the blank survey booklets whilst I was in the grip of shock and grief due to the untimely death of my sister. Without her help at that time, the survey would not have happened. A special thank you must go to Jane Harpin. Little did she know what she was starting when, in 2003 she challenged me to start using my brain and I nervously embarked upon a Master’s degree in Church History. Her continuing support, encouragement and friendship have been essential. Finally and most importantly my thanks go to my husband and children. Without their unfailing love, support and encouragement I would not have started, never mind finished this thesis. My husband Derek especially has read and commented on every page, debated with me, calmed me down, fed me and at times reminded me to sleep, ably supported by the others. It is to Derek, Michael, Helen and Philip that I dedicate this work with my love and gratitude for being such a fantastic family. Thank you. iii Abbreviations AA Ampleforth Archives BIUY Borthwick Institute, University of York CWL Catholic Women’s League DVDP Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul ERRAS East Riding Record and Archive Service FCJ Faithful Companions of Jesus HCM Hull Catholic Magazine JEH Journal of Ecclesiastical History LDA Leeds Diocesan Archives MDA Middlesbrough Diocesan Archives NEDG North Eastern Daily Gazette RICA Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults SC Sacrosanctum Concilium iv Contents Acknowledgements……………………………………..……………………….ii Abbreviations…………………………………………………………………….iii List of Maps……………………………………………………………………....vi List of Figures and Photographs ………………………………………..….viii Introduction…………………………………………………………………….….1 Part One: The Diocese of Middlesbrough 1992 and beyond 1.1: An introduction to the diocese..............................................................................16 1.2: Pastoral organization of the diocese…………………………………………….22 1.3: Spiritual and liturgical life within the diocese…………………………………..29 1.4: Lay Life and Apostolic Action………………………………………………….37 1.5: The Religious Climate in 1992…………………………………………………40 1.6: Conclusion………………………………………………………………………42 Part Two: The Emergent Church 1779-1879 2.1: The Protestant Climate of North and East Yorkshire 1779-1829……………….43 2.2: The Emergence of Public Congregations ………………………………………52 2.3: A Century of Religious Orders 1779-1878…..………………………………….72 2.4: Revolutions 1800-1850………………………………………………………….89 2.5: Towards a new Diocese 1850-1879……………………………………………122 2.6: The diocese of Middlesbrough 1879…………………………………………..144 Part Three: The Native Church 1879-1929 3.1: Into the Twentieth Century 1879-1918………………………………………. 157 3.2: The priorities of Bishop Lacy………………………………………………….170 3.3: The Contribution of the Religious……………………………………………..189 v 3.4: New Ways……………………………………………………………………...200 3.5: The Transitional Years 1918-1929…………………………………………….223 Part Four: An Irish Church 1929-1963 4:1: The Irish Picture……………………………………………………………….238 4.2: The Building Blocks…………………………………………………………...251 4.3: Devotional Practice 1929-1955……………………………………………..…270 4.4: Mission and pilgrimage 1931-1955…………………………………………....282 4.5: The Ebbing Tide 1956-1963…………………………………………………...295 Part Five: A Changing Church 1964-1992 5.1: A New Reformation 1963-1978…………………………………………….…311 5.2: The Changed Church 1978-1992………………………………………………340 Conclusions…………………………………………………………………….. 357 Bibliography…………………………………………………………………….365 vi List of Maps 1.

  • CTSA Proceedings 73 / 2018 115 MORAL THEOLOGY (I)—TOPIC SESSION Topic: Humanae Vitae, 50 Years Later Convener: Kent J. Lasn
    CTSA Proceedings 73 / 2018 MORAL THEOLOGY (I)—TOPIC SESSION Topic: Humanae Vitae, 50 Years Later Convener: Kent J. Lasnoski, Wyoming Catholic College Moderator: Kent J. Lasnoski, Wyoming Catholic College Presenters: Maria Morrow, Seton Hall University David Cloutier, Catholic University of America Karen Ross, Loyola University Chicago This well-attended session celebrated the 50th anniversary of Pope Paul VI’s profound, prophetic, and polemical encyclical Humanae vitae. The session featured two younger scholars (Maria Morrow and Karen Ross) with a historical and ethnographic approach, respectively, as well as a senior scholar, David Cloutier, who’s more experimental, theoretical essay provoked long discussion well-beyond the session’s close. The session opened with Maria Morrow’s “Living With (and Growing From) Bad Timing: Penance and Humanae vitae.” Going beyond the reception history traced by Tentler’s well-known Catholics and Contraception, Morrow investigates the relationship between an erosion of penitential culture among American Catholics and the near impossibility of Humanae vitae’s safe landing on the shores of American Catholic consciences. Her paper’s focus centers on the bad-timing of three documents: Humanae vitae itself, Paul VI’s Paenitemini, and the United States bishops’ Pastoral Letter on Fast and Abstinence. Humanae vitae shocked Catholics from pew to cathedra, most of which were expecting ecclesial concession to contraception due to tidal changes at the cultural level. Paenitemini and the United States episcopal letter, while attempting to renew and invigorate penitential life, making it more personal, effected exactly the opposite. Catholics felt justified not only in dropping mortifications but also in their flight from the confessional.

Yocum, Ph.D. Committee Chair _______________________________________ William L. Portier, Ph.D. Committee Member Mary Ann Spearin Chair in Catholic Theology _______________________________________ Kelly S. Johnson, Ph.D. Committee Member _______________________________________ Jana M. Bennett, Ph.D. Committee Member _______________________________________ William C. Mattison, III, Ph.D. Committee Member iii ABSTRACT THE VIRTUE OF PENANCE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1975 Name: Morrow, Maria Christina University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Sandra A. Yocum This dissertation examines the conception of sin and the practice of penance among Catholics in the United States from 1955 to 1975. It begins with a brief historical account of sin and penance in Christian history, indicating the long tradition of performing penitential acts in response to the identification of one’s self as a sinner. The dissertation then considers the Thomistic account of sin and the response of penance, which is understood both as a sacrament (which destroys the sin) and as a virtue (the acts of which constitute the matter of the sacrament but also extend to include non-sacramental acts). This serves to provide a framework for understanding the way Catholics in the United States identified sin and sought to amend for it by use of the sacrament of penance as well as non-sacramental penitential acts of the virtue of penance.

  • Ad Caeli Reginam
    Ad Caeli Reginam accepted so that with the encyclical Ad Caeli Reginam, of October 11, 1954, Pope Pius XII instituted the feast of the Queenship of Mary.[2] 2 Basic teachings According to Catholic teaching Mary should be called Queen, not only because of her divine motherhood of Je- sus Christ, but also because God has willed her to have an exceptional role in the work of salvation. Mary was cho- sen as Mother of Christ in order that she might become a partner in the redemption of the human race: “As Christ, the new Adam must be called a King not merely because He is Son of God, but also because He is our Redeemer, so, analogously, the Most Blessed Virgin is queen not only because she is Mother of God, but also because, as the new Eve, she was associated with the new Adam.”[3] 3 Context The Church has always taught that Mary is far above all other creatures in dignity, and after her Son possesses pri- macy over all. Germanus of Constantinople says: “Your honor and dignity surpass the whole of creation; your Botticelli, the coronation of the Virgin greatness places you above the angels.” And St. John Damascene goes so far as to say: “Limitless is the dif- Ad Caeli Reginam is an encyclical of Pope Pius XII, ference between God’s servants and His Mother.” [4] given at Rome, from St. Peter’s Basilica, on the feast of Pius XII quotes his predecessors: Pope Pius IX, “With a the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the eleventh heart that is truly a mother’s,” does she approach the prob- day of October, 1954, in the sixteenth year of his Pon- lem of our salvation, and is solicitous for the whole hu- tificate.

  • The Emergence of a Catholic Identity and the Need For
    THE EMERGENCE OF A CATHOLIC IDENTITY AND THE NEED FOR EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIAL PROVISION IN NINETEENTH CENTURY BRIGHTON SANDY KENNEDY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION DECEMBER 2013 MY DECLARATION PLUS WORD COUNT I hereby declare that, except where explicit attribution is made, the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. Word Count: 84,109 ABSTRACT The 1829 Act of Emancipation was designed to return to Catholics the full rights of citizenship which had been denied them for over two hundred years. In practice, Protestant mistrust and Establishment fears of a revival of popery continued unabated. Yet thirty years earlier, in Regency Brighton, the Catholic community although small seemed to have enjoyed an unprecedented degree of tolerance and acceptance. This thesis questions this apparent anomaly and asks whether in the century that followed, Catholics managed to unite across class and nationality divides and establish their own identity, or if they too were subsumed into the culture of the time, subject to the strict social and hierarchical ethos of the Victorian age. It explores the inevitable tension between 'principle' and 'pragmatism' in a town so heavily dependent upon preserving an image of relaxed and welcoming populism. This is a study of the changing demography of Brighton as the Catholic population expanded and schools and churches were built to meet their needs, mirroring the situation in the country as a whole. It explains the responsibilities of Catholics to themselves and to the wider community. It offers an in-depth analysis of educational provision in terms of the structure, administration and curriculum in the schools, as provided both by the growing number of religious orders and lay teachers engaged in the care and education of both the wealthy and the poor.

  • Godność Człowieka I Dobro Wspólne W Papieskim Nauczaniu Społecznym
    Rozdział III Godność człowieka i dobro wspólne w nauczaniu papieskim w latach 1878−1958 1. Leon XIII i fundamenty papieskiego nauczania o godności człowieka i dobru wspólnym Nikomu nie wolno naruszać bezkarnie tej godności człowie- ka, którą sam Bóg z wielka czcią rozporządza899. Cel bowiem wytknięty państwu dotyczy wszystkich oby- wateli, bo jest nim dobro powszechne, w którym uczestni- czyć mają prawo wszyscy razem i każdy z osobna, w części należnej900. Uczestnicy współczesnego dyskursu politycznego w poszukiwaniu aksjologicznych fun- damentów dla ustawodawstwa krajowego czy ponadnarodowego odwołują się do takich kategorii, jak: wolność, równość, prawa człowieka. Do tych fundamentalnych idei zaliczyć należy również dignitas humana i bonum commune901. Wydaje się poza dyskusją, że wielką rolę w przetrwaniu i rozwoju tych idei odegrała katolicka nauka społeczna, co uzasadnia poddanie analizie poglądów w tej materii twórcy papieskiego nauczania społecznego Le- ona XIII. Wybrany 20 lutego 1878 r. na papieża arcybiskup Perugii, kardynał Vincenzo Gioacchi- no Aloiso Pecci (1810−1903) przybrał imię Leona XIII. Nowy papież rozbudził w środowi- skach katolickich, zwłaszcza w kręgach zajmujących się problemami społecznymi, wielkie nadzieje na zmiany, które byłyby w stanie dostosować Kościół katolicki do istniejących 899 Rerum novarum Jego Świątobliwości Leona, z opatrzności Bożej papieża XIII, encyklika o robot- nikach z 15 maja 1891 r.
