Each shrine of the moving statues phenomenon bares its own incarnation of Mary and has its own story to tell. Alas, for the purposes of my research I was confined to the better known cases of Irish moving statues and apparitions, but along the way I was told of many others which are no less interesting and alluring to the researcher as the famous Ballinspittle is. As I traversed the Irish countryside and visited numerous shrines, and filed through the mass press reports, it seemed unquestionable that there was no part of Ireland untouched or unaffected by the moving statues phenomenon. It takes an individual of an extraordinary and genuine faith to believe that statues can move or come alive, and it takes a very courageous individual indeed to share that faith openly with the wider world. In composing this thesis I have been privileged to work with several such individuals. And so, first and foremost, I owe them the greatest debt of gratitude and acknowledgement, for without them this thesis would have been a mere pipedream. To all those who shared their beliefs, experiences, and stories – both the believer and the sceptic alike – I offer you my sincere thanks. Sincere gratitude also to the Ballinspittle and Mount Melleray grotto committees and The Servants of The Way of The Immaculate Heart, for welcoming me to your shrines and houses of prayer. I especially wish to thank Patricia Bowen, Sean Murray, Muckey, Jimmy Buckley, Margaret Boland and Canon Michael Fitzgerald for the singular kindness they have all shown me in their own ways. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Sr. Karen Kent, for giving me that all important first introduction. Secondly, I wish to thank my supervisor, Dr James Kapalo, for his unfailing encouragement and his endless patience. His advice was always both practical and indispensable. I wish also to thank Prof Brian Bocking, Dr Oliver Scharbrodt, and Dr Lidia Guzy for their guidance and suggestions. A special thanks to Dr Michael Allen, who kindly read the first draft; his advice was gratefully received and his own research on the moving statues phenomenon has informed not only mine but many scholars understanding of the apparition experience. In addition, a thank you to Dr Sile de Cléir for her kind assistance; her understanding of the nature of folk religion is most illuminating. At length, I would like to thank my colleagues on the UCC Study of Religion Postgraduate Programme for their encouragement and support. I wish them all the very best with their own research. iv Additionally, I would also like to acknowledge with much appreciation the crucial role of the staffs of Knock Museum, Cork City Library Local Studies, and UCC Boole Library, for their vital advice and for allowing me a free-reign with their collections. I would like to express the deepest appreciation to Cork County Council for paying my fees. I would also like to thank all the staff of UCC Boole Library, who I thoroughly enjoyed working with in my time as student help; a special thank you to Siobhan Bowman, Elma Byrne, Pat Downing, Martin O’Connor and Teresa Byrne and the Special Collections team, for their encouragement, advice and continuous support. A sincere thank you also to the UCC Study of Religions Department for affording me the superb opportunity to act as a teaching assistant; it was an invaluable source of employment and experience when I needed it most. Finally, but by no means least, I would like to thank my extended family for their goodwill, generosity, and assistance.

  • Carmelite Echoes in the Lourdes Grotto
    Carmelite echoes in the Lourdes Grotto Johan Bergström-Allen When the editor of Carmel in the World asked me to write an article about the link between Carmelite spirituality and Lourdes, the famous shrine of Our Lady in south-western France, I was very happy to do so because it’s a tremendously important place in my life. I’ve been lucky enough to have gone there on pilgrimage many times, including several visits in the Jubilee Year of 2008 which marks the 150th anniversary of Mary’s apparitions to Saint Bernadette Soubirous. Carmelite friar Fr. Tony Lester, O.Carm. preaching at the Grotto in Lourdes. But before I can tell you why I think there’s a strong link between the message of Lourdes and Carmelite spirituality, there’s something I feel I have to say first: I am not a big fan of apparitions generally. There, I feel better for writing that! Let me explain… When I was a teenager (all of a decade ago), I used to be very attracted by the extraordinary (even spooky) parts of our Catholic faith. Visions, weeping statues, saints who could reveal your past and your future, stigmata, Eucharistic miracles and so on – I was fascinated by it all. And when I first came to Lourdes aged thirteen I discovered all sorts of out-of-the-ordinary things to excite me: a vision story, miraculous healings, ‘holy’ water, and enough glow-in-the-dark crucifixes and tacky religious art to fill the town’s three basilicas and numerous chapels. There’s nothing wrong with piety, of course, but it needs to be balanced and sensible.

  • William, Cardinal Allen
    WILLIAM, CARDINAL ALLEN, N May 1582 the Papal Nuncio in Paris wrote to Cardinal Galli, Pope IGregory XIII's Secretary of State, to update him on yet another scheme to reconvert England and Scotland to the Catholic faith. The plan had been concocted by the Spanish Ambassador in London, Don Bernardina Men- doza, in consultation with Esme Stuart, Duke of Lennox, the French Duke de Guise, and the Jesuits William Creighton and Robert Persons. It involved landing an invasion force of 8,000 Spanish and Italian soldiers in Scotland. Expanded to 20,000 by an expected rush of devout local recruits, the army would march south into England, overthrow Elizabeth, liberate Mary Queen of Scots, and set her on the throne of both kingdoms. This half-baked scheme, which was welcomed by the Pope as a glorious new crusade, needed a religious figurehead who could command the loyalty of all English Catholics and serve as a rallying-point for soldiers, gentry and the devout Catholic faithful. Everyone agreed that there was only one possible choice. The President of the English College at Rheims, William Allen, should be appointed to the key religious and secular post in the north of England, the bishopric of Durham. Allen, the Nuncio claimed, was a man whose authority and reputation stand so high with the whole nation that his mere presence . will have a greater effect with the English than several thousand soldiers . all the banished gentlemen bear him such reverence that at a word of his they would do anything.' Five years earlier Mary Queen of Scots herself

  • II. Its Effect. in 1558, William Allen, One Time Canon of York Ancl
    2t2 Il terzo Convegno degli Archivistr Ecclesiastici II. THE ARCHIVES IN fHE KEEPING OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF WESTMINSTER Rev. BnnNanD FrsHER, Archivista dell'Archidiocesi di Westminster The Archives in the keeping of the Archbishop of Westmin- ster, or what are more usually called the Westminster Archives, form a unique collection of ecclesiastical documents of the first importance. Owing to the break in our Catholic history with the coming of the Reformation in England, there are however very few medi- aeval documents in this collection. There is a fairly extensive collection of papers relating to Selby Abbey in Yorkshire dating from the 13th to the 16th century. There are some presentments for heresy in the diocese of Norwich in the later half of the 15th century and an early manuscript copy of the Charter of the Chap- ter of rvl/ells Cathedral. The collection becomes a coherent body of docrments from 1558. On November 17th 1558 Elizabeth I imprisoned all the Cath- olic bishops, with the exception of Bishop Kitchin who conform- ed to the State religion. No attempt was made to appoint any- one to replace the bishops and the religious history of the early years of Elizabeth's reign is largely one of drift. Rome was wait- ing perhaps in the hope that Elizabeth might be won over while the vacillating Philip II of Spain was striving successfully to dis- suade the Pope from any action which might offend Elizabeth. Very soon .< the starvation policy,, of Elizabeth began to show its effect. In 1558, William Allen, one time Canon of York ancl Principal of St.

  • The Establishment of the English Seminaries in Rheims and Rome, and Their Fruits1
    Book 2, chapter 29 The Establishment of the English Seminaries in Rheims and Rome, and Their Fruits1 But the Catholics have been most benefitted, consoled, and strengthened by the foundations of the seminaries at Rheims in France and at Rome, which began in this way. The horrors of the queen’s persecution and the Catholics’ troubles were worsening by the day, and certain wise, zealous, and God-fearing men saw that nothing had been able to calm or mitigate the storm. They feared that the English Catholics both in England and abroad would be killed off by age, or abuses in the jails and prisons, or long and arduous exile—or that they would ultimately lose heart, witnessing every day the many savage martyr- doms of their friends and companions. And so they decided that to prevent the Catholic religion from withering on the vine2 in that land, they ought to create a school or seminary for able young Catholics, who would be nurtured and transplanted, and then grow to replace those passing away. Because they had no doubt that, no matter how this sect of perdition3 flourished, it must fall (so long as the Catholics did not despair) and come to an end, as all the others that past centuries had raised up against the Catholic Church and God’s truth had come to an end. For no heretical cult has yet been able to please men for any length of time, nor endure or persevere in one form, instead always going through drastic changes and alterations. We see this in the heresy of the Ari- ans, who, though they had the might of the princes and monarchs of the world upon their side, ultimately came to an end.

Archivum Historicum Societatis Iesu. Volume LVII. (1988): 163-169. Publisher Link. © 1986 Institutum Historicum Societatis Iesu. Used with permission. TEXTUS INEDITI ANTONIO POSSEVINO'S TRIBUTE TO EDMUND CAMPION JOHN PATRICK DONNELLY, S.J. - Marquette University, Milwaukee. During June of 1580 Edmund Campion and Robert Persons were smuggled into England and worked with marked success until Campion's capture by the English government on July 17, 1581. He was tried for treason and executed December 1, 1581. The treason charges were widely disbelieved in England and on the Continent; indeed the execution caused such resent­ ment throughout Catholic Europe that the English government felt com­ pelled to justify its action. The most important English apology was The Execution of Justice in England, which first appeared anonymously on 1 December 17, 1583 • Its real author was William Cecil, Lord Burghley. An expanded edition was published in 1584; since the English government wanted to present its case to the larger European world as well as to its own subjects, there were Latin, French, Dutch, and probably Italian and 2 German translations as early as 1584 • The news of Campion's execution created considerable stir in far away Poland. Even before Campion's martyrdom the famous Jesuit writer Peter Skarga had incorporated considerable material on the English martyrs in his popular Lives of the Saints of 1579. In 1583 there appeared at Vilna a Polish translation of Campion's Decem Rationes together with a short life of the author3 .
