    Edition of Henri-Xavier Arquillière, L'augustinisme Politique: Essai

    1 Translation by Catherine J. Bright and Courtney M. Booker, of Henri-Xavier Arquillière, L’Augustinisme politique: Essai sur la formation des théories politiques du Moyen-Age, second ed. (Paris: Vrin, 1955), 19–50. PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION The study that I present in these pages is by no means a general statement of Saint Augustine’s political doctrine. That has been done many times.1 The goal of my research is more limited. All medievalists have been struck by the profound intermingling of the Church and the State, which forms one of the characteristic traits of medieval civilization. How did this intimate relationship operate? How was the old Roman idea of the State absorbed by the increasing influence of the Christian idea, to the point that it led to the theory of the two swords in the twelfth century? That is the question. I have named this progressive, irregular movement political Augustinism, for want of a better term.2 I endeavored to define its formation and to mark some of its stages with precision. If by doing so I was able to open some avenues of research, in which I have directed several of my students, then I will have fully achieved my goal. I sought to observe the lives of certain ideas—to catch, in a way, their distortion in the minds of those that were simpler than the protagonists who inspired them, and to establish how these ideas came to transform major institutions, such as the monarchy. 1 See in particular the recent work of Gustave Combès, La doctrine politique de saint Augustin, Paris, 1927 (482 p.).

Vincent de Paul and the Episcopate of France By PIERRE BLET, S.J. TRANSLATED BY FRANCES PROFFITT, D.C.* Historians of Saint Vincent de Paul, both past and present, have described how Anne ofAustria, the queen regent ofFrance, appointed the founder of the Congregation of the Mission to the Council of Conscience and thus put him in a position to have an influence on the naming of bishops. Without making any claim to utilizing new mate­ rial, much less exhausting the subject, I would like to clarify the matter somewhat. In this regard Pierre Coste has written: Thanks to Saint Vincent, many dioceses were governed by pastors animated with an apostolic zeal that formed a striking contrast with the worldliness of their seniors in the episcopacy. Let it suffice to name Lescot, of Chartres; Perrochel, of Boulogne; Caulet, of Pamiers; Habert, of Vabres; Bassompierre, of Oloron and then of Saintes; Liverdi, of Treguier; Sevin, of Sarlat and then of Cahors; Bosquet, of Lodeve and then of Montpellier, and Brandom, of Perigueux.' This assertion for the most part is justified.

    Index des inventaires de la collection Périgord de la Bibliothèque nationale de France Manuel LORENZO ARCHIVES DEPARTEMENTALES DE LA DORDOGNE 1 La collection Périgord est un ensemble de documents originaux et de copies, concernant presque exclusivement le Périgord, conservés à la Bibliothèque Nationale de France1. Sa composition, qui recouvre tous les aspects de la recherche historique, en fait un des principaux instruments de travail pour tout chercheur œuvrant à l'histoire du Périgord. La collecte de documents originaux et le travail de copie, effectués par les différents érudits et chercheurs qui se succédèrent dans la composition de cette collection, ont abouti à constituer un fonds d'une ampleur exceptionnelle. Celui-ci comprend 183 volumes réunissant environ 51000 feuillets. Les Archives départementales de la Dordogne possèdent, sous la cote 1 Mi, les microfilms de tous les tomes, à l'exception des tomes n° 20, 21, 22, 108, 109, 111, 112 et 113, qui n'ont pas de rapport direct avec le Périgord. La recherche de documents n'est cependant pas aisée, la collection Périgord étant dépourvue de tables, et, en général, de tout classement. On peut cependant s'appuyer sur certains travaux de dépouillements et d'inventaires, et notamment ceux de Philippe de Bosredon2 et de Philippe Lauer3. Ces deux inventaires ne sont pas tout à fait complets mais restent complémentaires, l'un venant corriger les lacunes ou les imprécisions de l'autre. L'ouvrage de Lauer est complété par un index des noms de personnes et de lieux, mais celui-ci ne permet pas une recherche exhaustive et rapide sur un thème donné.

    chap 2 22/3/04 12:12 pm Page 50 2 The most perfect state: French clerical reformers and episcopal status As a general council of the church, Trent offered a framework within which a resurgent catholicism could take shape. To a man, its delegates took it for granted that the clergy would lead the laity, and that bishops would supervise and govern all the faithful. While the conciliar decrees were designed to respond, therefore, to the specific abuses and inadequacies of contemporary religion, they drew equally on what were assumed to be eternally applicable principles of hierarchy and authority. The church had always possessed its lead- ers and its followers; that was both a practical necessity and God’s plan. Both had to be accommodated in permanent rules that would preserve the church until the end of time. While this projection of episcopal leadership was to pro- voke opposition from some quarters, many reformers rose to the challenges that it had identified by building on its platforms of hierarchy and reform. Lead- ing theologians and reformers embarked on extended explorations of what ‘reform’ meant and how it could be achieved within a hierarchical church. Their imprint could be seen before the end of the sixteenth century, but no one was to have more impact than the French reformers of the seventeenth century. This ‘school of priesthood’ developed a sacerdotal theology and training methods which were still standard sources for the formation of Catholic priests during the twentieth century; through the seventeenth and eighteenth cen- turies, its members’ understanding of the ministry was widely diffused both within and outside France and they gradually succeeded in implementing many of their aims for clerical renewal within the French church.
  • Martyrology 12 09 19

    Martyrology 12 09 19

    Martyrology An Anglican Martyrology - for the British Isles 1 of 160 Martyrology Introduction The base text is the martyrology compiled by Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB. Copyright © 2008 by the Monastery of the Ascension, Jerome, ID 83338 and available online at the website of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The calendars of each of the three Anglican churches of the British isles contain varied group commemorations, I suggest these entries are read only in the province where they are observed and have indicated that by the use of italics and brackets. However, people, particularly in the Church of England, are woefully ignorant of the history of the other Anglican churches of our islands and it would be good if all entries for the islands are used in each province. The Roman dates are also indicated where these vary from Anglican ones but not all those on the Roman Calendar have an entry. The introductions to the saints and celebrations in the Anglican calendars in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in Exciting Holiness, ed. Brother Tristam SSF, The Canterbury Press, 1997, have been added where a saint did not already appear in the martyrology. These have been adapted to indicate the place and date of death at the beginning, as is traditional at the reading of the martyrology. For the place of death I have generally relied on Wikipedia. For Irish, Welsh and Scottish celebrations not appearing in Exciting Holiness I have used the latest edition of Celebrating the Saints, Canterbury Press, 2004. These entries are generally longer than appear in martyrologies and probably need editing down even more than I have done if they are to be read liturgically.

Translated by Stafford Poole, C. M. On October 4, 1981, Pope John Paul II beatified Alain de Solminihac, Bishop of Cahors from 1636 to 1659 and friend of Saint Vincent. I had the good fortune to be present at the ceremonies of beatification held in Saint Peter's Basilica. The name of Alain de Solminihac has to be familiar to anyone who has read Saint Vincent's writings. Coste's edition contains seven letters, written and signed by Saint Vincent and addressed to the new Beatus, and forty-seven signed by the Bishop of Cahors and addressed to Saint Vincent. To this correspondence must be added the other references to the Bishop of Cahors that Saint Vincent makes in other letters and in his conferences to the priests and Daughters.

He shows also how Maupas du Tour carefully crafted his panegyric to avoid the censure of church authorities in his depiction of Vincent de Paul and his works, while, at the same time, artfully giving the Crown, Mazarin, and the nobles a place of honor in the text. Copious illustrations of significant persons and places give life to the book. A must for any serious study of Vincentian historiography. —Marie Poole, D.C.

  • The Calendar and Litany of Reading Abbey

    The Calendar and Litany of Reading Abbey

    The Calendar and Litany of Reading Abbey Nigel Morgan University of Cambridge Before concentrating on the Calendar and Litany a general assessment of the evidence for the liturgical practices of Reading Abbey has to be considered. Compared with some of the other English Benedictine houses such as Durham and St Albans the survival of liturgical texts is very small. No Missal, Breviary or any choir book has survived, and of complete liturgical books there are only one mid-thirteenth-century Psalter, New York, Pierpont Morgan Library MS M. 103, and a part Martyrology (Dec. 25th-Feb. 27th, July 15th-Dec. 24th) of the last quarter of the twelfth century, London, British Library MS Harley 82.1 There are also two prayer books, Oxford, Worcester College MS 213/213* (3.16 A) of the second half of the thirteenth century, given to the abbey by Prior Alan, and one of the late fifteenth century in a private collection in the United States (Sotheby Dec. 7th 1964, lot 149) which contains a Reading calendar.2 Other texts not in liturgical books exist of the calendar and they will shortly be discussed (a list is also provided in the Appendix to this paper). The conclusion has to be made that apart from these texts of the calendar, and the single text of the litany in the Psalter in New York, very little is known about the liturgy of Reading. The first abbot of Henry I’s foundation was Hugh de Boves (Hugh of Amiens), a Cluniac.3 He had been a monk of Cluny from 1099 to 1115, prior of St Martial at Limoges from 1115 to 1120, prior of Lewes, the first Cluniac foundation in England from 1120 to 1123, and finally first abbot of Reading from 1123 to 1130.

    Holy See Appointment The Superior General received a letter (11 June) from Cardinal Sodano, the Secretary of State, informing him that the Holy Father has named him a member of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. (Cf. L’Osservatore Romano, June 29, 2001, p. 1) Synod of Bishops The Holy See has invited the Superior General to take part as an auditor in the upcoming Synod of Bishops which has as its theme “The Bishop: Servant of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the Hope of the World.” The Synod will be held in Rome from September 30 to October 27. (Cf. L’Osservatore Romano, September 17-18, 2001, p. 4) On October 9, the Superior General, taking inspiration from St. Vincent, spoke to the bishops present at the Synod, inviting them to be fathers and brothers to the poor and to the priests.
