  • John Ogilvie: the Smoke and Mirrors of Confessional Politics
    journal of jesuit studies 7 (2020) 34-46 brill.com/jjs John Ogilvie: The Smoke and Mirrors of Confessional Politics Allan I. Macinnes University of Strathclyde [email protected] Abstract The trial and execution of the Jesuit John Ogilvie in 1615 is located within diverse political contexts—Reformation and Counter-Reformation; British state formation; and the contested control of the Scottish Kirk between episcopacy and Presbyterian- ism. The endeavors of James vi and i to promote his ius imperium by land and sea did not convert the union of the crowns into a parliamentary union. However, he pressed ahead with British policies to civilize frontiers, colonize overseas and engage in war and diplomacy. Integral to his desire not to be beholden to any foreign power was his promotion of religious uniformity which resulted in a Presbyterian backlash against episcopacy. At the same time, the Scottish bishops sought to present a united Protes- tant front by implementing penal laws against Roman Catholic priests and laity, which led to Ogilvie being charged with treason for upholding the spiritual supremacy of the papacy over King James. Ogilvie’s martyrdom may stand in isolation, but it served to reinvigorate the Catholic mission to Scotland. Keywords British state formation – ius imperium – penal laws – recusancy – Presbyterians – episcopacy – lingering Catholicism – treason 1 Introduction Constant harassment by the Protestant Kirk in the wake of the Reformation, reinforced by threats of civil sanctions against regular clergy, practicing Ro- man Catholics and those who aided them, certainly restricted the scope for © Allan I.

  • Monsignor Charles Burns OA on St John Ogilvie
    Saint John Ogilvie’s Class Photograph The fourth centenary of the martyrdom of St John Ogilvie S.J., was fittingly commemorated in St Aloysius’ Church with superb choral accompaniment by combined Jesuit school choirs of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland for Vespers, on Saturday evening, 7 March 2015, and at Mass the following morning. Exactly four hundred years to the day, 10 March, several dozen Catholics, including a group of masters and pupils representing the College, converged at midday on the Market Cross at the ancient heart of Glasgow, to venerate that valiant Jesuit, at the precise spot where the scaffold had been erected. Over the centuries from the moment of death his name had remained on countless lips and his memory never grew dim. Such ageless devotion culminated in his Canonization by Pope Paul VI, on 17 October 1976, with all the grandeur and solemnity that only the Vatican can provide. Personal memories of that happy occasion are still fresh with me and abundant. Among them one in which you can share. Traditionally L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican’s own daily newspaper, came out in a special edition to mark the occasion of a Canonization with feature articles concerning the life and miracles of the new saint. The Canonization of Blessed John Ogilvie was not to be an exception and during the summer months the editor was collecting articles. He extended an invitation to myself to contribute something significant for the forthcoming commemorative number. He added, if my recollection does not fail me, that “it must not be an account of the life of Saint Ogilvie, Father Paolo Molinari, the General Postulator of the Jesuits, is doing that; nor an explanation of the process of his Canonization, Father Peter Gumpel, Molinari’s assistant is responsible for that; nor about devotion to the Jesuit martyr in Scotland, Archbishop Thomas Winning of Glasgow has promised to write about that; nor the miraculous cure of John Fagan, since his parish priest, Monsignor Thomas Reilly, wanted to do that.

  • The Church in Sixteenth-Century Glasgow
    Servants to St. Mungo: The Church in Sixteenth-Century Glasgow by Daniel MacLeod A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Daniel MacLeod, May, 2013 ABSTRACT SERVANTS TO ST MUNGO: THE CHURCH IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY GLASGOW Daniel MacLeod Advisors: University of Guelph, 2013 Dr. Elizabeth Ewan Dr. Peter Goddard This thesis investigates religious life in Glasgow, Scotland in the sixteenth century. As the first full length study of the town’s Christian community in this period, this thesis makes use of the extant Church documents to examine how Glaswegians experienced Christianity during the century in which religious change was experienced by many communities in Western Europe. This project includes research from both before and after 1560, the year of the Reformation Parliament in Scotland, and therefore eschews traditional divisions used in studies of this kind that tend to view 1560 as a major rupture for Scotland’s religious community. Instead, this study reveals the complex relationships between continuity and change in Glasgow, showing a vibrant Christian community in the early part of the century and a changed but similarly vibrant community at the century’s end. This project attempts to understand Glasgow’s religious community holistically. It investigates the institutional structures of the Church through its priests and bishops as well as the popular devotions of its parishioners. It includes examinations of the sacraments, Church discipline, excommunication and religious ritual, among other Christian phenomena. The dissertation follows many of these elements from their medieval Catholic roots through to their Reformed Protestant derivations in the latter part of the century, showing considerable links between the traditions.

  • Homily of Fr. James M. Hayes, S. J., at the Jesuit Community Mass
    HOMILY OF FR. JAMES M. HAYES, S. J., AT THE JESUIT COMMUNITY MASS, THE COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS, FEAST OF ALL SAINTS AND BLESSED OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS, NOVEMBER 5, 2012 Moses grasped an insight which is available to all of us. Moses discovered how one can be in communion with God. Through repeated ascents up a mountain, through long fasts and prayer, Moses listened to God’s voice. He taught Israel that God was close to us as our hearts, as our very breath. Ignatius, too, learned this lesson. Through his many months lying on his sickbed, during his year in Manresa, Ignatius discovered the closeness of God. He realized that God desires to be in intimate companionship with us. The other insight Ignatius discovered was the power of intercession. Ignatius instinctively knew to whom to pray. Some prayers he addressed to God the Father, some to Jesus, some to the Holy Spirit, and some to Mary and the saints. We hold the belief in the communion of saints and thanks to the research of Father Lapomarda, I have learned that the Society of Jesus has fifty-one canonized saints, one hundred fifty one Jesuits who have been beatified, nineteen venerables, and fifty-nine servants of God. That’s an impressive collection of intercessors. Each of them was a grain of wheat that fell into the ground and bore fruit. The Society of Jesus has an orchard of saints to choose from for us who remain on this pilgrim journey. Here are some suggestions for the students among us.

  • John Ogilvie's Execution and the Community of Glasgow
    journal of jesuit studies 7 (2020) 47-66 brill.com/jjs Exemplary Deterrent or Theatre of Martyrdom?: John Ogilvie’s Execution and the Community of Glasgow Paul Goatman University of Glasgow [email protected] Abstract John Ogilvie’s martyrdom in February 1615 should be seen in the context of a struggle for the hearts and minds of the people of Scotland between the Jesuit mission and James vi and i’s government. Nowhere was this struggle more intense than within the town of Glasgow, where Ogilvie was imprisoned, tried and executed and which a large and influential Catholic community had long called home. Propaganda was dis- seminated by both sides during and after his trial and the archbishop of Glasgow, John Spottiswood, orchestrated its proceedings as a demonstration of royal and archiepis- copal power that involved local elites as well as central government officials. This ar- ticle examines the events that took place in Glasgow during the winter of 1614–15 and provides a prosopographical analysis of the people involved. It makes the argument that, as had been the case during the Protestant Reformation of the 1540s and 1550s, Scotland’s church and state mishandled Ogilvie’s public ritual execution such that the local religious minority (now Catholics) became emboldened and more committed to Counter-Reformation.
