This book is written to suppl y what I conceive to be not only a demand but a real necessity . I ts purpose is to show the wrong and injustice of papal interference with the struggles of the I rish people to regain the national independence which they lost through the treachery of an E nglish pope . T o show the extent , persistence and deadly character of that interference . And to point out the necessity , and the patriotic duty of firmly and constantly rejecting and resist ing every political edict , issued by a pope or inqui s itio n , respecting I rish affairs . I am painfully aware of the extreme difficulty , if not impossibility, of exposing and condemning the political errors and faults of one who is the spiritual head of a church , without working some injury to the church which he represents . T o the delicacy and difficulty of this position , I attribute the otherwise remarkable circumstance that the very interesting and important facts herein set forth have never before been presented l in any col ected or connected form . But the occasion demands that those facts be now given to the world fully and fairly, without or h either malice timidity . W atever the reader 6 PREFACE . may think of the conclusions , which I have freely l and candid y stated , he will find the statements of fact to be reliable and can readily verify all the more important of them by referring to the author ities which I have fully cited . I conceive it to be a most marvel ous record of an alliance of centuries , which has been characterized I f cons uu u s hn s ahh co nfidence o n n and p and , one side , and equally constant duplicity , ingratitude and tyranny on the other . T o the ultramontanes who may read this book and whose stereotyped criticism I may now fairl y anticipate , I have but to say , that it is not my fault that the spiritual heads of the Catholic Church claim also to be , by divine right, temporal rulers , theoretically , over all nations , and in ter rible reality over I reland . I t is not my fault , but more shame to them , if the publication of the political history which [key have made , shall disadvantage the church whose Spiritual interests were confided to them , an d should have been their first and constant care; On this subject I can onl y add that I am not i n the business of proselyting and disclaim any such purpose . I speak neither as a friend nor as an enemy of the t Ca holic religion , and have said not a word con cerning its doctrines , its principles , its sacraments or its forms . T he truth. or falsity , the soundness or u nsou nd ness of the articles and rules of faith of that r eli PREFACE . 7 ' gion have nothing to do with I reland s right to in dependent nationality or to H ome Rule . I desire , above all things , to separate those two questions by a wide and unmistakable l ine , and to distinguish , as well as I may , between the dual —religious and political— capacities which the Pope , unfortunately, occupies . I speak as an American descendant of the I rish race ; as an admirer of the I rish character ; as a sympathizer in the struggles and trials of the I rish people and in their hereditary aspirations for liberty . That a man may be a good Catholic and at the s o same time an I rish patriot , seven centuries of “ f called sedition , in which the people were o ten ‘ ks ar a so an om . led by their gg , attest That a man may reject the tenets of the C atho lic religion and yet be an equally good I rish : l patriot . bear witness Grattan , Emmet , Wo fe M Tone , Davis , itchel , Parnell , and all the brave leaders and soldiers of Protestant faith , who , for hav raced the more than a century , eg and glorified political and m ilitary struggles for I rish liberty . While I believe and declare that religi on has and should have nothing to do with I rish poli tics , I have , in writing this book , a purpose which the publ ic mind will not wholly disconnect from religion , principally because the art and finesse of rel igio -political I talian statesmanship have so interwoven questions of religion and politics . ’ That purpose is to assist ‘ in raising my father s 8 PREFACE . countrymen and my own kinsmen above that v gro eling fear of the Pope , which makes so many of them nerveless when he strikes a bl owat their country and their race , and above their present discreditable co nfidence in men who have “ proved themselves the veriest slaves of treach ery . There is no other people on earth that the Pope would treat as he is treating , or as he has treated , the I rish ; and this is simpl y because there is n o other people on earth— not“ even one of the hal f — I ndian states of S outh America that would tol ca crate such politi l interference at his hands . The Pope , in this respect , enjoys the unenviable , n dan er ou s not to say infamous , distinctio of being g n de nne only to Mose wno co fi in i . I confidently expect that my work will meet with the approval not only of I rish patriots , of all shades of religious l belief, but that it wi l be acceptable to the think ing Catholics of every country , who cannot fail to realize how greatly the true interests of the C atho l ic Church would be advanced by relieving it of the incubus of pol itical iht rig ue against wh ich my blows are aimed .

  • Papal Overlordship and Protectio of the King, C.1000-1300
    1 PAPAL OVERLORDSHIP AND PROTECTIO OF THE KING, c.1000-1300 Benedict Wiedemann UCL Submitted for the degree of PhD in History 2017 2 I, Benedict Wiedemann, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Papal Overlordship and Protectio of the King, c.1000-1300 Abstract This thesis focuses on papal overlordship of monarchs in the middle ages. It examines the nature of alliances between popes and kings which have traditionally been called ‘feudal’ or – more recently – ‘protective’. Previous scholarship has assumed that there was a distinction between kingdoms under papal protection and kingdoms under papal overlordship. I argue that protection and feudal overlordship were distinct categories only from the later twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Before then, papal-royal alliances tended to be ad hoc and did not take on more general forms. At the beginning of the thirteenth century kingdoms started to be called ‘fiefs’ of the papacy. This new type of relationship came from England, when King John surrendered his kingdoms to the papacy in 1213. From then on this ‘feudal’ relationship was applied to the pope’s relationship with the king of Sicily. This new – more codified – feudal relationship seems to have been introduced to the papacy by the English royal court rather than by another source such as learned Italian jurists, as might have been expected. A common assumption about how papal overlordship worked is that it came about because of the active attempts of an over-mighty papacy to advance its power for its own sake.

  • The Englishman Who Became a Pope
    THE EXGLISHMAX WHO BECA^IE A POPE BY J. V. NASH THE recent agreement entered into between Premier ]\lussolini and the Vatican, resulting in the restoration—along much re- stricted Hnes—of the temporal power of the Pope, opens up a num- ber of unusual prospects for the future of the papacy. For instance, there is the possibility of the election, for the first time since the Reformation, of a non-Italian Pope. While the relations of Italy and the Vatican were still unsettled, the choice of a foreign Pope would have been extremely hazardous. The Italian government, if brought into conflict with an alien Pontiff, might have used his nationalty as an excuse for his expulsion from Italy and possibly for abolishing the papacy or subjecting it to the secular power. But since the \^atican has secured the rights of a sovereign nation, under treaty guaranties, these difficulties disappear, and the question already is being asked, will the next Pope be an American ? Although in pre-Reformation days there were many non-Italian Popes, it is curious that Ireland, for centuries the chief bulwark of Catholicism in northern Europe and famed as "the Isle of Saints," whence missionaries went out to convert European pagans, has never given a Pope to the Church, while Anglo-Saxon England can claim at least one Roman Pontiff. Stranger still, it has been charged—rightly or wrongly—that this English Pope was the cause of Ireland's long political subjection to England, from which she has only in our own day to a large extent freed herself.

  • Pope Alexander III
    Pope Alexander III Pope from 1159-81 (Rolando Bandinelli), born from Ranuccio of a distinguished Sienese family; died 3 August, 1181. As professor in Bologna he acquired a great reputation as a canonist, which he increased by the publication of his commentary on the "Decretum" of Gratian, popularly known as "Summa Magistri Rolandi." Called to Rome by Eugene III in the year 1150, his advancement was rapid. He was created Cardinal Deacon, then Cardinal Priest of the title of St. Mark, and Papal Chancellor. He was the trusted adviser of Adrian IV and was regarded as the soul of the party of independence among the cardinals, which sought to escape the German yoke by alliance with the Normans of Naples. For openly asserting before Barbarossa at the Diet of Besancon (1157) that the imperial dignity was a papal beneficium (in the general sense of favour, not feudal sense of fief), he incurred the wrath of the German princes, and would have fallen on the spot under the battle-axe of his life-long foe, Otto of Wittelsbach had Frederick not intervened. For the purpose of securing a submissive pontiff at the next vacancy, the Emperor despatched into Italy two able emissaries who were to work upon the weaknesses and fears of the cardinals and the Romans, the aforesaid Otto and the Archbishop-elect of Cologne, Rainald von Dassel, whose anti-Papal attitude was largely owing to the fact that the Holy See refused to confirm his appointment. The fruits of their activity became patent after the death of Pope Adrian IV (1 September, 1159).

  • The Pope Who Gave Ireland to England
    THE POPE WHO GAVE POPE ADRIAN IV IRELAND TO ENGLAND Graham Lawther www.oldepaths.com THE POPE WHO GAVE IRELAND TO ENGLAND Following the council that took place at Worms in 1076 A.D., an awful bitter struggle began throughout Europe over who it should be that controlled the temporal power, the Pope or the King? This struggle was typified at the Castle of Canossa just the next year, in 1077, when the pope kept King Henry IV of Germany waiting three days barefoot in the snow before he would see him. Henry was also made dress as a penitent, wearing sackcloth. This was foisted upon him as an act of submission, not only as the King, but also by consequence, submission of his realm. The Pope made the following pronouncement at Rome: …on behalf of God Almighty, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and by your power and authority, I deny to King Henry, son of the Emperor Henry, who with unheard-of pride has risen up against your church, the government of the whole kingdom of the Germans and of Italy; I absolve all Christians from the bond of any oath that they have made or shall make to him; and I forbid anyone to serve him as king. For it is fitting that, because he has striven to diminish the honour of your church, he himself should forfeit the honour that he seems to possess. Finally, because he has disdained to show the obedience of a true Christian and has not returned to the God whom he forsook by communing with excommunicated men, by – as you are my witness – disdaining my advice which I sent him for his salvation, and by attempting to rend your church and separating himself from it, by your authority I bind him with excommunication.

REAPING THE TURMOIL WITHIN: HOW IRELAND’S KINGS TRIGERRED THE ANGLO-NORMAN INVASION By Catherine Hines Around A.D. 1000, Brian Bóruma successfully fought his way to the throne, ending a line of dynastic high-kings. From then until the reign of Rory O’Connor (1166-1186), the high-kings of Ireland established their rule over the island’s provinces through force and conquest—not strictly by line of succession or constitutional provision.1 The term “high-king,” from the Irish ard rí, meant a “distinguished king who had enforced his power over external territories.”2 Rory O’Conner,3 king of Connacht in west Ireland and acknowledged as high-king of all Ireland, was the last of the island's high-kings due to the Anglo-Norman invasion.4 This invasion began in 1169,5 and, ironically, O’Connor had a part in initiating it.

  • Theological Quarterly
    THEOLOGICAL QUARTERLY. VOL. XIII. JANUAI{Y, 1909. No. 1. "JERUSALEM, ROME, AND WASHINGTON." An Italian gentleman of pleasing address, his cloan-slrnvon face beaming happiness and his piercing eyes kindling with the enthusiasm of hope and bright prospects, stood "before a highly distinguished audience" on tho 30th of January, 1893. From the windows of the room in which he had come to speak the suave gentleman could have looked out, had he cared to do so, upon many an object dear to the hearts of citizens of the North American Republic. Ho might have been said to be standing in tho shadow of tho dome of tho Capitol of the United States, and almost within harking distance of the Presidential J\fon­ sion. All around him could be observed the material evido11ces of the activities of a great government. The gentleman was fully conscious of his surroundings. He was pleased to know that he was exactly where he was. I-Io loved and admired the beantiful American city on the Potomac. But his love was hardly that of the patriot, and his admiration differed from that of the tourist. Ho loved and admired the city, and tho country which had made tho city tho seat of its government, not so much for what they were at the time of his address, but for what they would be, and what he ardently hoped to be in­ strumental in making them, within a measurable space of time. Tho gentleman was a person of authority, but ho was not independent. At the moment of which we arc speaking he was representing a higher authority far away, and his remarks were inspired by.

The theme which comes out most clearly from Rebecca Rist’s study of the relationship between the papacy and Judaism (following her earlier work on the papacy and crusading (1)) is that as the defender of Christian society, it was the papacy’s concern both to uphold a tradition of protecting Jews as witnesses to Christ’s crucifixion, but also to defend true Christians from the risks inherent in tolerating a minority which (by their refusal to convert) challenged the truth of Christ’s revelation. This is the only real consistency to be found in papal-Jewish relations. Whether protection or restriction was emphasised at a particular time depended on what those who had appealed for papal intervention wanted and on the personal predilections of the pope and even on the trends in Christian society more widely. Any suggestion of a ‘policy of degradation’ (pp. 3–4) on the part of the papacy is not only ahistorical – positing, as it does, an unchanging aim spanning centuries – but also dependent on a very partial reading of both papal letters and Jewish accounts.
