Passages from the thesis may not be copied or closely paraphrased without the written consent of the author. William Bernard Ullathorne and the Foundation of Australian Catholicism 1815-1840 PAUL COLLINS A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University March 1989 This Thesis is entirely my own work. ABSTRACT William Bernard Ullathorne was Vicar General of New South Wales from 1832 to 1841. While Catholics had arrived in the First Fleet in 1788, it was not until the 1830s that the church's ministerial structure was put on a permanent footing. In order to place the decade of the 1830s in context, I have outlined the early history of Catholicism in Australia and examined why Fathers Therry and Conolly failed to put down permanent roots. The thesis then goes on to argue that Ullathorne was the key person in establishing permanent ecclesiastical structures. The Catholic Church had begun in Australia in 1820 as an official convict chaplaincy. Church-state relationships were of fundamental importance. It was Ullathorne who negotiated a working relationship with the colonial government of New South Wales. The thesis argues that his success in Australia was based on his own clerical professionalism. The professional clergyman was a newly emerging species in the 19th century.

  • “Still More Glorifyed in His Saints and Spouses”: the English Convents in Exile and the Formation of an English Catholic Identity, 1600-1800 ______
    “STILL MORE GLORIFYED IN HIS SAINTS AND SPOUSES”: THE ENGLISH CONVENTS IN EXILE AND THE FORMATION OF AN ENGLISH CATHOLIC IDENTITY, 1600-1800 ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History ____________________________________ By Michelle Meza Thesis Committee Approval: Professor Gayle K. Brunelle, Chair Professor Robert McLain, Department of History Professor Nancy Fitch, Department of History Summer, 2016 ABSTRACT The English convents in exile preserved, constructed, and maintained a solid English Catholic identity in three ways: first, they preserved the past through writing the history of their convents and remembering the hardships of the English martyrs; that maintained the nuns’ continuity with their English past. Furthermore, producing obituaries of deceased nuns eulogized God’s faithful friends and provided an example to their predecessors. Second, the English nuns cultivated the present through the translation of key texts of English Catholic spirituality for use within their cloisters as well as for circulation among the wider recusant community to promote Franciscan and Ignatian spirituality. English versions of the Rule aided beginners in the convents to faithfully adhere to monastic discipline and continue on with their mission to bring English Catholicism back to England. Finally, as the English nuns looked toward the future and anticipated future needs, they used letter-writing to establish and maintain patronage networks to attract novices to their convents, obtain monetary aid in times of disaster, to secure patronage for the community and family members, and finally to establish themselves back in England in the aftermath of the French Revolution and Reign of Terror.

  • ABSTRACT Roman Catholic Church Teaching and Abortion: a Historical
    ABSTRACT Roman Catholic Church Teaching and Abortion: A Historical View from the Early Church to Modern Day Maren Brady Director: Dr. Jason Whitt, Ph.D. The Catholic Church is known today to be staunchly opposed to any practice that violates the dignity of human life, including abortion. While the Catechism refers to this teaching as constant and unchanging since the first century of the church, many have questioned whether the Church has always fully opposed abortion, especially in the early stages of pregnancy due to conversations surrounding theories of ensoulment and animation. In this thesis, I will argue that the Catholic Church has always embraced a respect for unborn human life from conception by opposing direct abortion. To do so, I trace the development of the Church’s current canon law and magisterial teaching pertaining to direct abortion from the early Church to the 21st century by examining the writings of prominent theologians, papal documents, and previous collections of canon law.

Electronic transcription by CM Wrigley 2007, incorporating minor typographic amendments. Version 1.0. “There will never want in England men that will have care of their own salvation nor such as shall advance other men’s; neither shall this Church ever fail so long as priests and pastors shall be found for their sheep, rage man or devil never so much” Edmund Campion, 1580 Foreword by the Bishop of Lancaster It is a pleasure and privilege to welcome this splendid History of the parish of The Willows, Kirkham, written by one who is peculiarly well-equipped to write it. The author, Mr. F. J. Singleton, has already written a short History of the town of Kirkham (published in 1981), and has contributed learned articles to several historical journals. He is a native of Kirkham and a former Headmaster of the Catholic Primary School there. Since his retirement he has searched local, regional and even national records and sources for information and, as will be noticed, he has amply documented the book; what is here set down may be taken as fully accurate and factual. What makes this book specially valuable, too, is that the parish of The Willows is one of the richest of all parishes in North Lancashire in post- Reformation Catholic history.

The author accepts full responsibility for the evidence and argument presented here. 1 The name is variously spelt Cottam, Cottame, Cotham, Cottome, and Cottom. The herald’s spelling in family pedigree for 1613, for example, uses Cottam, but it is signed John Cottom, as are his other signatures. Cottom was clearly the family’s preferred spelling, and it is used here throughout, unless the original source cited specifically employs or refers to Cottam or Cotham.

  • TITLE Magisterial Teaching on Vital
    https://research.stmarys.ac.uk/ TITLE Magisterial Teaching on Vital Conflicts: A Reply to Rev. Kevin Flannery, SJ AUTHOR Jones, David Albert JOURNAL The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly DATE DEPOSITED 13 September 2018 This version available at https://research.stmarys.ac.uk/id/eprint/2492/ COPYRIGHT AND REUSE Open Research Archive makes this work available, in accordance with publisher policies, for research purposes. VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. For citation purposes, please consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication. Magisterial teaching on vital conflicts: a reply to Professor Kevin Flannery Abstract Professor Kevin Flannery has helpfully drawn attention to some key sources for Magisterial teaching on “vital conflicts” where interventions to save a mother’s life would involve or lead to the death of her unborn child. However, former responsa by the Holy Office on this topic from 1884 to 1902 need to be interpreted carefully and understood in relation to the context of the time. Recent teaching has indeed clarified that the condemnation of direct abortion is de fide. Nevertheless, in the last forty years the Magisterium has, de facto, tolerated debate among faithful Catholic scholars over the ethics of craniotomy. Appeal to former Magisterial teaching is not sufficient to settle this contemporary debate over what constitutes direct abortion. The case in question Recent cases in Brazil,1 the United States,2 and Ireland3 have caused concern among Catholics in relation to how to resolve vital conflicts between a mother and her unborn child. These cases are very rare and typically are misreported by the media, misunderstood by the public, and exploited by lobby groups for the sake of a much wider pro-abortion agenda.
