  • John Ogilvie: the Smoke and Mirrors of Confessional Politics
    journal of jesuit studies 7 (2020) 34-46 brill.com/jjs John Ogilvie: The Smoke and Mirrors of Confessional Politics Allan I. Macinnes University of Strathclyde [email protected] Abstract The trial and execution of the Jesuit John Ogilvie in 1615 is located within diverse political contexts—Reformation and Counter-Reformation; British state formation; and the contested control of the Scottish Kirk between episcopacy and Presbyterian- ism. The endeavors of James vi and i to promote his ius imperium by land and sea did not convert the union of the crowns into a parliamentary union. However, he pressed ahead with British policies to civilize frontiers, colonize overseas and engage in war and diplomacy. Integral to his desire not to be beholden to any foreign power was his promotion of religious uniformity which resulted in a Presbyterian backlash against episcopacy. At the same time, the Scottish bishops sought to present a united Protes- tant front by implementing penal laws against Roman Catholic priests and laity, which led to Ogilvie being charged with treason for upholding the spiritual supremacy of the papacy over King James. Ogilvie’s martyrdom may stand in isolation, but it served to reinvigorate the Catholic mission to Scotland. Keywords British state formation – ius imperium – penal laws – recusancy – Presbyterians – episcopacy – lingering Catholicism – treason 1 Introduction Constant harassment by the Protestant Kirk in the wake of the Reformation, reinforced by threats of civil sanctions against regular clergy, practicing Ro- man Catholics and those who aided them, certainly restricted the scope for © Allan I.

While technically still a colony of Britain, Newfoundland effectively gained self-rule in 1832 when the House of Assembly was established. It was not until 1855 that Newfoundland achieved a “full grant of Responsible Government” (Prowse 471).

First Epistle to the Corinthians.

Both these appointments, then, were made in an orderly way, according to the will of God. You shall know also that your seed shall be great, and your children like the grass of the field. Every kind of honour and happiness was bestowed upon you, and then was fulfilled that which is written, My beloved ate and drank, and was enlarged and became fat, and kicked. These things therefore being manifest to us, and since we look into the depths of the divine knowledge , it behooves us to do all things in [their proper] order, which the Lord has commanded us to perform at stated times. For He is a Searcher of the thoughts and desires [of the heart]: His breath is in us; and when He pleases, He will take it away.

  • ABSTRACT Authoritarianism and the Catholic Church in Latin America
    ABSTRACT Authoritarianism and the Catholic Church in Latin America Amy Edmonds, Ph.D. Dissertation Chairperson: Jerold L. Waltman, Ph.D. This research examines the relationship between the Catholic Church and the military regimes in Latin America in the latter half of the twentieth century. Although prevailing theories explain church behavior regarding authoritarianism in reference to Protestant competition, I argue that church opposition is best explained by institutional arrangements in two ways. First, whether the church opposes authoritarianism is contingent on the degree of institutional autonomy the church possesses. Secondly, the strength of the opposition depends upon the presence of structural carriers, which are institutions connecting the church to society. The cases of Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay are examined through a historical institutionalist lens to test these hypotheses. Findings from these historical case studies indicate that both institutional autonomy and structural carriers are necessary for opposition. Ultimately, this study sheds light on the question of why religious institutions operate in varying ways in similar political contexts. It is also a contribution to the “path dependent model,” which posits that the history of institutional arrangements serves as a strong influence on contemporary institutional behavior.

Abstract This thesis explores the responses of different groups within the English Catholic community to the civil war, interregnum and restoration, with close attention to Catholic political theory. The English Catholic community were not mere observers of the constitutional and religious changes made during this period but manoeuvred within shifting political frameworks, continually adjusting their politics to meet new requirements. After the defeat and the execution of Charles I, members of the community made a series of compromises with political parties to secure toleration. Until the Restoration these were almost all to the exclusion of the Stuarts. Catholic political theorists engaged with the pro-sectarian, tolerationist principles of the parliamentary Independents during the first part of the Interregnum, but after the failure of the Cromwellian Church settlement in 1655 began to interact with anti-sectarian pro- episcopal groups during the decline of the Protectorate.
