Daniel O'connell, Marquess Wellesley and the Politics of Dublin Castle in the 1820S
Daniel O’Connell, Marquess Wellesley and the politics of Dublin Castle in the 1820s Dr Síle McGuckian In 1829 Daniel O’Connell stood at the pinnacle of his career. He was one of the most powerful men in Ireland, having achieved his life time goal of Catholic Emancipation as well as his election as a member of parliament. However, only nine years earlier in 1820 O’Connell had had virtually nothing to show for more than a decade of political sacrifice and agitation. The 1820s were to prove to be the crucial decade of O’Connell’s career. He pursued every possible means of achieving his goals, and although his success when it came appeared to have been achieved far from the corridors of power in Dublin Castle, his interactions with the members of the Irish Administration were an integral part of his successful campaign. The years following the Act of Union in 1801 had been very barren ground for the Irish Catholic movement with successive British governments taking a hard line on any Catholic claims. In 1820 the Irish movement was split. In London the prime minister, Lord Liverpool, and the majority of his cabinet was strongly opposed to Emancipation, while in Dublin an uncompromising Protestant administration remained in charge in the Castle. The independent Irish parliament had been abolished in 1801, and replaced by a separate Irish administration in Dublin Castle that was overseen by London. The lord lieutenant, or viceroy, remained the head of the Irish administration and the Crown’s representative in Ireland. He dealt directly with the prime minister and the home secretary. -
The Life of Mary Aikenhead Part 2879.06 KB
A short synopsis of the life of Mother Mary Aikenhead Part Two Mary begins to focus on religious life Mary began to think seriously of devoting her life full-time and as a religious to helping the poor in their homes but for the present she felt obliged to help her ailing mother in the management of the household. The Ursuline and Presentation Sisters, whose convents were nearby, were bound to enclosure. Even in the whole of Ireland at this period there was no convent that allowed its members to move outside the enclosure. When Mary discussed this with Cecilia Lynch, Cecilia informed her that she herself was joining the Poor Clares in Harold’s Cross, Dublin. An unexpected, life-changing meeting Then on 30 November 1807, when Mary was 20 years of age, a providential meeting took place at the Ursuline convent in Cork. Mary met Anna Maria Ball of Dublin, a wealthy woman in her own right who was married to a rich Dublin merchant, John O’Brien. She had come to Cork for the religious profession of her sister, Cecilia. Accompanying her was another sister, Frances or Fanny, the future founder of the Loretto sisters. Mary Aikenhead found that she had met a kindred spirit in Anna Maria. Mary already knew from her friend, Cecilia Lynch that Anna Maria devoted a great deal of her time in Dublin to the care of the poor and afflicted. Before leaving Cork, Mrs. O’Brien invited Mary to spend some time with her in Dublin. The invitation was gladly accepted. -

Y.M. (Anne) McLay. Now - as in his lifetime - Bishop James Quinn is a controversial, and to many an unattractive, though highly significant figure of the foundation years of the Catholic Church in Queensland. My interest was aroused in discovering his true personality through my work in the history of Catholic education in this State, especially that of Mother Vincent Whitty and the first Sisters of Mercy. After several years of research I am still ambivalent towards him. I feel, however, this ambivalence is due to the paradoxes inherent in his personality rather than to any deficiency in my research. I have tried to show in this thesis the complexity of his character that these paradoxes caused. Bishop Quinn died in 1881, but the foundations of his work in Queensland were laid by 1875. To appreciate the shape of the Church that soared grandly from these foundations, to understand the conflict and the turmoil that surrounded the man and his creation, the bishop must be first seen in his original environment, Ireland and Rome. -
The Round Table
THE The RoundROUND TABLE TODAY THIS SCRIPTURE HAS BEEN FULFILLED IN YOUR HEARING LUKE 4:21 Table THE ROUND TABLE TODAY THIS SCRIPTURE HAS BEEN FULFILLED IN YOUR HEARING LUKE 4:21 The Trustees of Mary Aikenhead Ministries see the Round Table as a foundational document that speaks to the living story. This is created daily by those who take up the challenge of our Preferential Option for the Poor by bringing to life the values of LOVE, HOPE, COMPASSION AND JUSTICE through our ministries. © 2017 Mary Aikenhead Ministries FOREWORD THE PURPOSE OF THIS FOUNDATIONAL DOCUMENT The Trustees of Mary Aikenhead Ministries recognise that integral to the story of the Sisters of Charity, of their origins in Mary Aikenhead’s call to serve the poor, of the founding Congregation and of the new mission in Australia, is the changing context in which the Congregation’s call to serve the poor continues to take shape. Alongside these founding narratives are other interweaving stories, both scriptural and ecclesial, that have over the decades influenced the mission and ministry of the Australian Congregation and resulted in the generation of the new public juridical person, Mary Aikenhead Ministries. Each of these informing and shaping ecclesial stories needs to be recognised as foundational for implementing Pope John XXIII’s call to listen to the changing “signs of the times.” Mary Aikenhead Ministries is an authentic lay, ecclesial and ministerial response to the changing needs of the changing world in the Australian context. Mary Aikenhead Ministries’ founding value, expressed as a preferential option for the poor, enables Mary’s original commitment to service to be expressed in the particularity of Pope Francis’ call, shortly after his election for the Church to be a “poor church for the poor.” “Let us take care of the fragility of every man, of every woman, of every child and of every elder, with that caring and attentive attitude of the brotherliness of the Good Samaritan.” – CARD. -

The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system. -

Newman and Escrivá: Two Distinguished Educators, Juan R
Newman and Escrivá: Two Distinguished Educators, Juan R. Vélez G., Faith and Reason, Vol. XXVII, Nos. 2,3,4, Summer/Autumn/Winter, 2002, pp. 195-215. Newman and Escrivá: Two Distinguished Educators The encyclical letter, Faith and Reason, explains the complementary nature of two forms of knowledge, philosophy and theology based on their shared source of truth. Almost from the inception of Christianity this notion was sustained by noted Catholic thinkers. Among the authors that the encyclical credits for this understanding of knowledge and truth are Clement of Alexandria, Origen, the Cappadocian Fathers, Dionysius, St. Augustine, St. Anselm, St. Albert the Great and St. Thomas Aquinas. The latter two recognized the rightful autonomy that philosophy has, but from the late medieval period onward the legitimate distinction between philosophy and theology became “more and more a fateful separation”1. During the 19th century, the exaggerated rationalism of some thinkers made philosophy and natural sciences almost completely independent from the contents of faith. In turn some theologians reacted with fideism, a mistrust of reason and man’s natural capacity to know God2. At the turn of the 19th century, a deep separation between faith and reason was readily perceptible in the poor religious instruction of the undergraduates at Oxford and in their perfunctory practices of piety. Secularization increased at this university, and by mid-century, its colleges widely adopted philosophical idealism and an unchecked acceptance of the historical-critical method of biblical criticism3. John Henry Newman, then a young tutor at Oriel College, advocated a spiritual and moral renewal that later became a doctrinal reform movement. -
John Joseph Wynne, SJ
chapter 3 Ever Bright Light: John Joseph Wynne, S.J. (1859–1948) We are a people who respect belief, but who value action more.1 —John J. Wynne, s.j., 1909 ∵ Like many of his Progressive Era peers, John J. Wynne had an eclectic career. However, Wynne separated himself from most of his contemporaries in one notable way. He never stopped moving. He was by his own admission a doer more than a thinker. “We are a people who respect belief, but who value action more,” he wrote in America’s inaugural editorial.2 He even explained that “one of his motives in becoming a Jesuit was that every moment of his time could be devoted to one good work or another.”3 Wynne remained faithful to this motive throughout his life. One provincial commented that Wynne was “very pious, most amenable,” and though he had “too many ideas,” he was at least “absolutely obedient.”4 Despite his obedience, Wynne’s “too many ideas” could at times fluster his fellow Jesuits, especially those not accustomed to his “pun- ishing work ethic.”5 At every moment, Wynne multitasked as “he planned for the next step, the next goal, calmly, smoothly, and seamlessly moving from one task to the next.”6 Once, he even wrote to Pace to explain that he thought it best to start a new project, “if only to accelerate what we have already got going.”7 So “relentless and meticulous, organized and disciplined” was Wynne’s work ethic, so perpetual was his motion, that Anderson describes him somewhat 1 Wynne, “Editorial Announcement,” America 1, no. -
