Alumni Trip to London and Paris – Fall 2013 St. Ignatius of Loyola in London and Paris St. Ignatius, in his autobiography, talks of his visits to England to seek funds for his studies and of his time in Paris where he studied theology and recruited his first Jesuit volunteers. London, England – Unhappily, we do not know on which street corner Ignatius did his begging, but we do know where many later Jesuits found residence: The Tower of London. St. Nicholas Owen, S.J., Blessed Edward Oldcorne, S.J., Blessed Ralph Ashley, S.J., Fr. Henry Garnet, S.J., and St. Edmund Campion were all martyred after brief stays in The Tower. St. Ignatius’ spirit is still alive and well in London and we will visit the great Jesuit Farm Street Church of the Immaculate Conception and attend Sunday Mass there. Paris, France – St. Ignatius would spend seven years studying theology at the University of Paris. We will visit the Latin Quarter where he lived and studied as well as Montmartre where Ignatius and his six companions (including St. Francis Xavier) pronounced the solemn vows that began their lives as Jesuits. There will, of course, be plenty of time to visit many of the other great sites of London and Paris, but our trip should be an opportunity to learn a bit more of the always exciting and interesting history of the Jesuits.

  • Nicholas Owen
    Saint Nicholas Owen Born: Oxfordshire The son of a carpenter, Nicholas was raised in a family dedicated to the Catholic Church and followed his father’s trade. One of his brothers became a printer of Catholic literature and two were ordained priests. Nicholas worked with Edmund Campion, Father John Gerard and Father Henry Garnet, Superior of the English Jesuits from 1587 – 1594. Sometimes using the pseudonym John Owen; his short stature led to the nickname Little John. He spent over twenty-five years using his skills in the construction of ‘priest- holes’, escape-routes and some annexes for Mass. In order to keep his building-work secret, most was carried out at night, his presence explained by the daylight role as carpenter and mason. Early examples of his work exist at Oxburgh in East Anglia, Braddocks and Sawston. There are over a hundred examples of his work throughout central England. He built around a dozen hiding-places for Thomas Habington’s household at Hindlip Hall, Worcestershire; including that which Owen himself used prior to his capture. The authorities were aware the hiding- places existed, but neither their extent nor who constructed them. Nicholas did not have a formal novitiate, but having received instruction, he became a Jesuit Brother in 1577. In 1581, when Father Edmund Campion was executed, Nicholas remonstrated with the authorities and was imprisoned but later released. He was re-arrested on 23 April 1594 with John Gerard and held in the Tower of London, from where managed to free himself. It is said that he later orchestrated the escape of Father Gerard.

  • College Martyrs
    TUTOR GROUP MARTYRS Class A – Ashley Blessed Ralph Ashley Ralph Ashley served as a cook at Douai College France. He went to Spain in 1590 and became a Jesuit Lay Brother. He returned to England in 1598 and served with Father Edward Oldcorne. He was captured in 1604 and was terribly tortured and executed. Class C – Clitherow Saint Margaret Clitherow Margaret Clitherow was a butcher’s wife in York. In 1574 Margaret became a Catholic and an active helper of the Douai priests. She also ran a Catholic school for her children and neighbours. Officers found vestments worn by priests in her house and so on 25th March 1586 she was crushed to death. She took a quarter of an hour to die. Her two sons became priests. Class J – Jones Saint John Jones John Jones was a Welshman. He appears in 1587 as a priest working among the Catholics in a Prison. This work was cut short when his disguise was discovered, and he was arrested and imprisoned at Wisbech Castle. However he did escape and made his way to the continent. He returned to England in 1592, and two years later was a prisoner once more at Wisbech. He was martyred on 12th July 1598. There was an hour’s delay in his execution because the hangman had forgotten his rope. Father Jones made use of time in prayer and addressing the crowd. Class L – Line Saint Anne Line Anne Line and her husband were both converts and though both were disinherited because of their faith they managed to live quite comfortably until 1586 when a priest was arrested whilst saying Mass in their house.

  • Relics Tour Show
    Freedom Fortnight 2016 The Relics of St Thomas More and St John Fisher Supported by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, The Knights of Columbus and The Christian Heritage Centre at Stonyhurst St John Fisher’s Ring and a Reliquary containing a bone and tooth of St Thomas More The Reformation in England was sparked by Henry VIII’s desire to end his twenty-three year marriage to Catherine of Aragon (above) in order to marry Anne Boleyn. Thomas More was Henry VIII’s Chancellor. John Fisher was Bishop of Rochester. They both resisted Henry’s attempts to divorce his wife and to take away the rights of the Catholic Church. As the Pope consistently refused to allow Henry to end his marriage, the King made his Bishops swear an oath of allegiance to himself as Supreme Head of the Church in England. The only Bishop to refuse was John Fisher. More and Fisher were imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1534 for their opposition to the King’s will. Fisher’s treatment in prison was particularly harsh, and he was forced to rely on the generosity of friends for food and drink as none was supplied to him. Westminster Hall, in the Houses of Parliament. John Fisher and Thomas More were tried and convicted of treason in this hall. Their judges included Anne Boleyn’s father. Thomas More’s cell in the Tower of London can still be seen today. He spent fourteen months in prison, writing, praying and fasting. This embroidered cap of red linen, gold and silver thread and spangles was made for Thomas More in his last years of life, probably by one of his daughters.

  • Jesuit Theology, Politics, and Identity: the Generalate of Acquaviva and the Years of Formation Franco Motta
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institutional Research Information System University of... chapter seventeen Jesuit Theology, Politics, and Identity: The Generalate of Acquaviva and the Years of Formation Franco Motta The Jesuit Archetype: A Long History What is a Jesuit? A priest; a member of a religious order, or rather of a regular congregation; a priest called to mission. Often, a teacher. Today, the list of defini- tions would more or less stop here. There is nothing specifically “Jesuit” about this description, as it could apply to the members of many other Catholic religious orders. It is one of the many consequences of secularization: in the collective perception, the differences that make up the complexity of the church are lost; the identities of the religious orders fade, and, with them, the meaning of schools that at one time were recog- nizable in speech, modes of being, and their presence in the world. Before the mid-twentieth century, things were different. If we step back eighty years, we encounter signs and meanings that are connected to a far more distant past. In January 1932, the Spanish republic disbanded the Society of Jesus within its territories and forfeited its benefits on the grounds that the Jesuits were loyal to a foreign sovereign, the pope. At that time, a Jesuit’s identity was much clearer: an enemy of the state, an agent in service of a great power, an agitator, equipped with great influence over women, aristocrats, and elites; and, above all, a sworn enemy to civil and scientific progress.1 This was more or less the conceptual catalog that was then in use.

  • Paul Wake. 2008. “Writing from the Archive: Henry Garnet's
    Paul Wake. 2008. “Writing from the archive: Henry Garnet’s powder-plot letters and archival communication” Archival Science, 8:2: 69-84. Writing on psychoanalysis in The Postcard Jacques Derrida asks, what happens in the psychoanalytic deciphering of a text when the latter, the deciphered itself, already explicates itself? When it says more about itself than does the deciphering (a debt acknowledged by Freud more than once)? And especially when the deciphered text inscribes in itself additionally the scene of the deciphering? When the deciphered text deploys more force in placing onstage and setting adrift the analytic process itself… (Derrida 1987, p. 414) Directed here to the archive, the questions posed by the self-explicating text become questions of the ways in which the processes of archivization manifest themselves within records, “placing onstage” the mechanisms and functions of the archives in which they exist. In addressing these questions, which turn on archival “saying,” explication and deciphering, both archive and record will be figured in terms of communication, situating the record not in isolation but rather in the changing contexts of its activations. In approaching the archive in terms of the interactions between recorders, records, archivists and analyst-historians my understanding of the “communicative” record is easily summarised in terms of John Searle’s distinction between the “token” and the “message”: The unit of linguistic communication is not, as has generally been supposed, the symbol, word or sentence, or even the token of the symbol, word or sentence, but rather the production or issuance of the symbol or word or sentence in the performance of the speech act.
