Of the Life, Imprisonment, and Martyrdom of Father Edmund Campion of the Society of Jesus1 Book 2, chapter 32 Of the Life, Imprisonment, and Martyrdom of Father Edmund Campion of the Society of Jesus1 Among those jailed were many of the priests who (as we have said) circulated through the kingdom, encouraging the Catholics, strengthening the weak, il- luminating the blind, and reconciling the converted to the Catholic Church. These men were afflicted with harsh prisons and abuses of every kind, con- sumed and dispatched with ghastly deaths. Here I will say something about these illustrious martyrs out of all that has been printed in various books. But whereas the foremost of these, the general and captain of all those who in recent years have died in Elizabeth’s England for the faith of Jesus Christ, has been Father Edmund Campion of the Society of Jesus, in this chapter I will speak at greater length about his life and martyrdom—and in what follows we shall touch upon something of the rest. Father Campion was born in London, the capital of England. After the first years of childhood, he entered St John’s College, Oxford, where, on account of his singular brilliance and amiable disposition, he was well loved by the found- er, Thomas White [Bukito], in whose memory he delivered an elegant and eloquent Latin oration.2 Having completed the course of grades, ranks, and offices that are customarily given to students of his caliber in that university, his friends and confidants, who wished to see him successful and honored, per- suaded him to be ordained a deacon, so that he might ascend to the pulpit and preach—though he was never attracted to the errors of our times. So forcefully 1 2 1 Sander, De origine ac progressu, 462–64. Most of the description of Campion’s life, work, and martyrdom comes from the Italian edition of William Allen’s biographies of the Catholic martyrs: Allen, Historia, 63–96.

John Hungerford Pollen (London: Burns and Oates, 1908), 1–26. 2 Edmund Campion was born in London on January 25, 1540. “In 1558, a few months before the accession of Elizabeth, Campion entered St John’s College, founded barely twelve months earlier by Sir Thomas White, a wealthy merchant, devout Catholic and former Lord Mayor of London.” Campion studied philosophy and theology, receiving two degrees and becoming a fellow in 1564. A noted orator, Campion delivered White’s funeral address in 1567. McCoog, Reckoned Expense, xix–xx. Michael A.R.

And he was seized by such fierce pangs of conscience and such anxieties that his soul could find neither comfort nor peace until he entered religion, to perform penance for that sin and free himself from that horrible, burdensome scruple, which he bore like a nail embedded in his heart. For this reason, he went to Rome and entered the Society of Jesus, and thence he was sent to Bohemia, where he remained for eight years, being ordained a priest in Prague and teaching, writ- ing, and continually working on behalf of the Church of God with the utmost deftness and skill.6 Thus it was that of the first two men the general of the 3 4 5 6 3 In 1568, Campion was awarded an exhibition by the Grocers’ Company, which came with the stipulation that the recipient preach at St Paul’s Cross if asked to do so. Campion was duly ordained a deacon in the spring of the following year. Over the course of 1569, the Company put increasing pressure on the young scholar to fulfill the preaching requirement, driving Campion to resign that autumn.

Vossen (Assen: Van Gorcum, 1963). 5 Campion entered the English College at Douai in the late summer of 1571, receiving his degree in 1573. McCoog, Reckoned Expense, xxv. 6 Persons relates that Campion “could not tell what better resolution to take for satisfying both God and man and especially his own conscience than to break utterly with the world, and with a penitent heart to repair to the holy city of Rome, there to cast himself at the feet of the blessed Apostles St Peter and St Paul, special patrons of that place, and afterwards by their good help and motion to seek to be received (if he might) into the religion of the Society of the B. Name of Jesus, and therein to lead the rest of his life according of the direction of his Superiors.” Arriving in Rome in the spring of 1573, Campion was sent to Prague, thence to Brno, and then back to Prague, where he taught rhetoric in the Jesuit college, the Clementina. He was ordained by the archbishop of Prague in 1578. Campion also produced written work during this period, notably the play Ambrosia (1578). Ibid., xxv–xxvi.

  • December Saints
    Saint of the Day December December 1: St. Edmund Campion, Martyr St. Edmund Campion was born in 1540 in Protestant London. An exceptionally bright child, he was given a good education. He went to Oxford in 1557, during the last year of Catholic Queen Mary’s reign. In 1566, he was given the honor of leading a debate in front of Queen Elizabeth I, who was impressed by him. He became a deacon in Church of England, but soon regretted it. He left England to enter a Catholic seminary in France and became a Jesuit in 1573. He knew then that he desired to return to England and secretly minister to Catholics there, despite the dangers. In 1580, St. Edmund went back to England disguised as a jewel merchant. He secretly preached and said Masses for one year before he was arrested, imprisoned and martyred in 1581. St. Edmund is one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. December 2: St. Bibiana, Virgin and Martyr St. Bibiana was an early Christian martyr, probably living during the late 4th century in Rome. Christianity had been made legal by Constantine, but persecutions continued. Bibiana’s parents were martyred, leaving Bibiana and her sister Demetria alone in poverty. They fasted and prayed, refusing to give up their faith. Demetria died of hunger and Bibiana, after undergoing harsh questioning, died a few days later. Their home was turned into a church, and is now the site of the Basilica of Santa Bibiana. December 3: St. Francis Xavier St. Francis Xavier was born in Spain in 1506.

  • William, Cardinal Allen
    WILLIAM, CARDINAL ALLEN, N May 1582 the Papal Nuncio in Paris wrote to Cardinal Galli, Pope IGregory XIII's Secretary of State, to update him on yet another scheme to reconvert England and Scotland to the Catholic faith. The plan had been concocted by the Spanish Ambassador in London, Don Bernardina Men- doza, in consultation with Esme Stuart, Duke of Lennox, the French Duke de Guise, and the Jesuits William Creighton and Robert Persons. It involved landing an invasion force of 8,000 Spanish and Italian soldiers in Scotland. Expanded to 20,000 by an expected rush of devout local recruits, the army would march south into England, overthrow Elizabeth, liberate Mary Queen of Scots, and set her on the throne of both kingdoms. This half-baked scheme, which was welcomed by the Pope as a glorious new crusade, needed a religious figurehead who could command the loyalty of all English Catholics and serve as a rallying-point for soldiers, gentry and the devout Catholic faithful. Everyone agreed that there was only one possible choice. The President of the English College at Rheims, William Allen, should be appointed to the key religious and secular post in the north of England, the bishopric of Durham. Allen, the Nuncio claimed, was a man whose authority and reputation stand so high with the whole nation that his mere presence . will have a greater effect with the English than several thousand soldiers . all the banished gentlemen bear him such reverence that at a word of his they would do anything.' Five years earlier Mary Queen of Scots herself

    2t2 Il terzo Convegno degli Archivistr Ecclesiastici II. THE ARCHIVES IN fHE KEEPING OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF WESTMINSTER Rev. BnnNanD FrsHER, Archivista dell'Archidiocesi di Westminster The Archives in the keeping of the Archbishop of Westmin- ster, or what are more usually called the Westminster Archives, form a unique collection of ecclesiastical documents of the first importance. Owing to the break in our Catholic history with the coming of the Reformation in England, there are however very few medi- aeval documents in this collection. There is a fairly extensive collection of papers relating to Selby Abbey in Yorkshire dating from the 13th to the 16th century. There are some presentments for heresy in the diocese of Norwich in the later half of the 15th century and an early manuscript copy of the Charter of the Chap- ter of rvl/ells Cathedral. The collection becomes a coherent body of docrments from 1558. On November 17th 1558 Elizabeth I imprisoned all the Cath- olic bishops, with the exception of Bishop Kitchin who conform- ed to the State religion. No attempt was made to appoint any- one to replace the bishops and the religious history of the early years of Elizabeth's reign is largely one of drift. Rome was wait- ing perhaps in the hope that Elizabeth might be won over while the vacillating Philip II of Spain was striving successfully to dis- suade the Pope from any action which might offend Elizabeth. Very soon .< the starvation policy,, of Elizabeth began to show its effect. In 1558, William Allen, one time Canon of York ancl Principal of St.

  • The Establishment of the English Seminaries in Rheims and Rome, and Their Fruits1
    Book 2, chapter 29 The Establishment of the English Seminaries in Rheims and Rome, and Their Fruits1 But the Catholics have been most benefitted, consoled, and strengthened by the foundations of the seminaries at Rheims in France and at Rome, which began in this way. The horrors of the queen’s persecution and the Catholics’ troubles were worsening by the day, and certain wise, zealous, and God-fearing men saw that nothing had been able to calm or mitigate the storm. They feared that the English Catholics both in England and abroad would be killed off by age, or abuses in the jails and prisons, or long and arduous exile—or that they would ultimately lose heart, witnessing every day the many savage martyr- doms of their friends and companions. And so they decided that to prevent the Catholic religion from withering on the vine2 in that land, they ought to create a school or seminary for able young Catholics, who would be nurtured and transplanted, and then grow to replace those passing away. Because they had no doubt that, no matter how this sect of perdition3 flourished, it must fall (so long as the Catholics did not despair) and come to an end, as all the others that past centuries had raised up against the Catholic Church and God’s truth had come to an end. For no heretical cult has yet been able to please men for any length of time, nor endure or persevere in one form, instead always going through drastic changes and alterations. We see this in the heresy of the Ari- ans, who, though they had the might of the princes and monarchs of the world upon their side, ultimately came to an end.

TEXTUS INEDITI ANTONIO POSSEVINO'S TRIBUTE TO EDMUND CAMPION JOHN PATRICK DONNELLY, S.J. - Marquette University, Milwaukee. During June of 1580 Edmund Campion and Robert Persons were smuggled into England and worked with marked success until Campion's capture by the English government on July 17, 1581. He was tried for treason and executed December 1, 1581. The treason charges were widely disbelieved in England and on the Continent; indeed the execution caused such resent­ ment throughout Catholic Europe that the English government felt com­ pelled to justify its action. The most important English apology was The Execution of Justice in England, which first appeared anonymously on 1 December 17, 1583 • Its real author was William Cecil, Lord Burghley. An expanded edition was published in 1584; since the English government wanted to present its case to the larger European world as well as to its own subjects, there were Latin, French, Dutch, and probably Italian and 2 German translations as early as 1584 • The news of Campion's execution created considerable stir in far away Poland. Even before Campion's martyrdom the famous Jesuit writer Peter Skarga had incorporated considerable material on the English martyrs in his popular Lives of the Saints of 1579. In 1583 there appeared at Vilna a Polish translation of Campion's Decem Rationes together with a short life of the author3 .

Introduction The unpopular English Catholic Queen, Mary Tudor died in 1558 after a brief reign during which she earned the epithet ‘Bloody Mary’ for her persecution of Protestants. Mary’s Protestant younger sister succeeded her as Queen Elizabeth I. In 1559, during the first year of Elizabeth’s reign, Parliament passed the Act of Uniformity, declaring the state-run Church of England as the only legitimate religious authority, and compulsory for all citizens.

  • We Must Speak by the Card Or Equivocation Will Undo Us: Oxford
    WE M U ST SP E A K BY T H E CA R D O R EQ U I VO CAT I O N W I L L UN D O U S Oxford, Campion, and the Howard-Arundel Accusations of 1580-81 Richard Desper ❦ And gilded honor wrongfully displaced, . And right perfection wrongfully disgraced, . And folly (doctor-like) controlling skill, . And captive good attending captain ill: . Sonnet 30 E must speak by the card,1 or equivocation will undo us,” Hamlet jokes to Horatio as he attempts to extract information from the gravedigger in Act V Scene 1. While equivocation and words of the same root appear nine times in the dramatic works of Shakespeare, the substance or meaning of the word is a powerful and recurring theme in the plays, as it is also in the life of the Earl of Oxford. We see this particularly in two of the watershed events that occured during his early years, the so- called Oxford-Howard controversy of 1580-81 and the arrest and trial of Edmund Campion. If we dismiss two appearances of the weaker word equivocal,2 the more powerful words equivocate, equivocation, and equivocator appear seven times: once in Hamlet and six times in Macbeth. These plays share a common theme, the issue of regicide, also strong in a num- ber of other Shakespeare plays, particularly Richard II, and Julius Caesar. In every instance where this theme is mentioned, it is connected with the meaning of the word equivocation, if not the word itself. We believe that the root of this thematic material and its connection with the term equivocation can be found in the events of 1580-81, when the English govern- ment first launched its campaign to eliminate the threat posed by militant Catholicism to the parties in power.
