  • The Rule of Ten Virtues of the B.V.M.” Historical Brief
    The Genesis of “The Rule of Ten Virtues of the B.V.M.” Historical Brief Br. Andrew R. Mączyński, MIC Author The Rule of the Ten Virtues of the Most B.V.M., or the Rule of the Ten Pleasures of the Most B.V.M. (Regula Decem Beneplacitorum Beatissimae Virginis Mariae), is one of the few religious rules approved in spite of the decree issued by the IV Lateran Council in 1215. This decree forbade the approval of the newly founded religious orders on any other than one of the previously approved rules. The Rule was composed by a Franciscan, Fr. Gilbert Nicolas, better known as Gabriel Maria, the name he received from Pope Leo X by his brief (breve) of June 11, 1517. By this act, the Pope wished to emphasize the special devotion that Fr. Gilbert had for the mystery of the Annunciation of the B.V.M. Gilbert Nicolas, who also appears in history under the name of Johanes Molezius, was born around 1460 in Riom in the Province of Auvergne, France. Influenced as a 16-year old youth by a sermon by a certain Franciscan preacher on the topic of the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M., he discerned his vocation to the religious life. In 1475, in Lafond, near La Rochelle, he joined the Franciscans of the Strict Observance. After completing his novitiate and pronouncing his religious vows, he was sent to the monastery in Amboise in order to continue his education that concluded at his priestly ordination and taking the post of a lector of theology.

  • History of the Franciscan Movement
    HISTORY OF THE FRANCISCAN MOVEMENT Volume 2 FROM THE YEAR 1517 TO THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL On-line course in Franciscan History at Washington Theological Union Washington DC By Noel Muscat OFM Jerusalem 2008 History of the Franciscan Movement. Volume 2: From 1517 to the Second Vatican Council Chapter 10 NEW REFORMS AND NEW DIVISIONS: THE BIRTH OF THE CAPUCHINS AND REFORMS WITHIN THE OBSERVANCE The friars “of the Holy Gospel” The Order of Friars Minor of the Regular Observance, after the union of all the reformed families in 1517, became a powerful religious family dedicated mainly to apostolic missions. A minority of friars, however, continued to insist upon living a simpler Franciscan life in the hermitages. Besides the Amadeiti and Coletani, there were other congregations which preferred eremitical life, like the Clareni and the friars “of the Holy Gospel” or Capuciati. This last religious family was one which the Bulla Ite vos of Leo X (1517) had not managed to integrate within the Order of the Friars Minor of the Regular Observance. They were born, as we have already seen, with the initiative of Juan de la Puebla, who had made an experience of Franciscan life in the Umbrian hermitages of central Italy, and then had returned to Spain, founding a congregation of friars who lived the literal observance of the Rule in the hermitages. Among his followers there was Juan de Guadalupe, who in 1508 obtained the approval of the Province “of the Holy Gospel”.1 The negative reaction of the Spanish Observants, who persecuted the new religious family, compelled the brothers of the Custody of Estremadura to place themselves under the obedience of the Conventuals in 1515, and thus became to be known by the name of “Reformed Conventuals”.2 They wore a short tunic with a pyramidal hood, and hence also the name Capuciati.

    178 EMWJ Vol. 9, No. 1 • Fall 2014 Book Reviews English nuns in exile, and thus provides both the impetus for additional discoveries and a preliminary canon of texts upon which to base future scholarship. Jenna Lay Lehigh University English Convents in Exile, 1600–1800. Part 2 . Vols . 4-6 . Eds . Caroline Bowden, Katrien Daemen-de Gelder, James E . Kelly, and Carmen M . Mangion . London: Pickering and Chatto, 2013 . 1392 pp . $495 . ISBN 978-1-8489-3215-9 . Dorothy L. Latz was one of the first to draw sustained scholarly attention to the writings of English nuns with her 1989 edition “Glow-Worm Light”: Writings of 17th Century English Recusant Women from Original Manuscripts. If Latz’s title suggested that only faint traces remained of the English con- vents on the continent, more recently Caroline Bowden — supervisor of the online prosopographical database “Who Were the Nuns?” and general editor of the six-volume series English Convents in Exile — has uncovered a wealth of little-known material documenting the nuns’ lives. The final three volumes of English Convents in Exile fulfill the high expectations cre- ated by the publication of the first three volumes in 2012, making available a fresh set of rare primary texts (manuscript and print) that will be of vital importance for scholars working on religion and/or women in the early modern period. Volume 4 (Life Writing II), edited by Katrien Daemen-de Gelder, contains the Short Colections of the Antwerp Carmelites. Begun by Prioress Mary Joseph of St. Teresa (Mary) Howard after the 1718 discovery of an incorrupt body in the house’s dead cellar, this manuscript includes obituaries for each nun who professed at this convent from its foundation in 1619 through 1713.

  • “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.

  • Power Struggles in an 18Th-Century Mexican Convent Megan Meyer
    Power Struggles in an 18th-Century Mexican Convent Megan Meyer As a result of the Counter-Reformation, the Catholic Church began to implement new policies governing monastic life. Convents in the Americas during the 18th century were directly affected by these reforms, although the implications of these reforms were often distinct from those of Europe due to different social circumstances. While a large number of historical facts are known about Church reforms, these facts are too infrequently applied to real life examples within convents. Without an understanding of how the reforms actually played out in the daily life of a nun, their true significance is left unclear. The key to revealing the truth about convent life lies in the historical archives that house nuns’ personal testimonies. The experiences of Conceptionist nuns from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico provide excellent insight into how Church reforms, coupled with contemporaneous social conditions, actually affected convent life. The struggle for power amongst these nuns shows how the diversity within convents and the imposition of the vow of enclosure and communal living could potentially cause divisiveness on both a personal and a group level. Through archival research, scholars have the potential to continue to shed more light on the personal life of a nun as well as the true implications of large-scale Church policies. Scholastic inquiry into the lives of Hispanic nuns is a relatively new field of research that is continuously growing. Scholars such as Electa Arenal, Stacey Schlau, Asunción Lavrín and Kathyrn McKnight, among others, have already broken ground in the field of women’s writing within the monastic tradition.

Mexico's population in mid-2000 was estimated at 97.5 million and in mid-2008 at 109 million, third in population size in the Americas after the USA and Brazil. The nation is composed of a diversity of ethnic groups: Mestizos (mixed Spanish-Indian blood who are native Spanish-speakers), 88 percent; Amerindians (239 living languages among 13 linguistical families), 9 percent; and others (including North Americans, Europeans, Afro- Americans, Middle Easterners and Asians), 3 percent. The predominant Amerindian languages are: Náhuatl, Maya, Mixteco, Zapoteco, Otomí, Tzeltal, Tzotzil, Totonaco, Chol, Mazahua and Huasteco.
