EPORB giving an account of the manner in ^oRUKK^^ |—v which the Holy See provided for the spiritual b:wants of England during the period when a cruel policy rendered it impossible to fill the vacant sees with Catholic prelates, it will be necessary to explain why the bishops consecrated according to the protestant ritual during the reigns of Elizabeth and her successors on the English throne, have been denied any place, even that of schismatical bishops, in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. The Roman archives have uniformly ignored the State epis- copate in the three Kingdoms, and the Holy See has al- ways in practice treated the protestant ordinations as null and void. Anglican writers have from time to time pro- tested against the hne of conduct pursued in this respect by the Pope, and have asserted that the churches founded in Great Britain by Saint Augustine, and in Ireland by Saint Patrick, have their only lawful and true succcession in the protestant hierarchy established in those countries by the Crown and Parliament. 1 THE ANBLICAN STATEMENT in fact no ANGLICAN Anglican protestants contend that STATEMENT jjg^ Church was fornied by Queen Elizabeth, and that the succession of catholic bishops continued un- broken. The church, they say, reformed herself, and restored her doctrines to primitive purity. It is manifest that this controversy embraces a variety of topics which it belongs to theologians to discuss; but inasmuch as the chief facts on which the controversy is based have been disputed, it will be useful to offer a plain statement of matters of history, which will enable unprejudiced persons to judge more fairly of the question at issue. The case as regards the English succession may be thus slated. The present protestant archbishops and bis- hops of the State Church possess the titles and tempo- ralities of the ancient sees, and trace their descent by way of episcopal ordinations from Matthew Parker, who was consecrated to the see of Canterbury by order of Queen Elizabeth, on the IB«' of December, 1559. The fact that he was consecrated to that see in the year stated, is beyond dispute. That he was ever validly consecrated, is denied by Catholic and maintained by protestant authorities. Upon this controversy many volumes have been written by learn- ed men on both sides, and it is likely many more volumes will be written upon the same subject, without bringing the controversy to a close. For while the Holy See has ANGLICAN always in practice, whenever individual cases arose, *^^°*®<^ the Validity REJECTED BY of Anglican Orders, no formal ROME or authoritative decision has ever been pronoun- ced, embracing the whole question, much less has any de- finite declaration been ever made of the particular reasons upon which the rejection of Anglican Orders has been based. Modern Roman theologians, such as the late Father Perrone, assert that Anglican Orders are invalid, because " ANGliICAN ORDERS REJECTED BY ROME defective both ia the way of historical succession and ia form.; — " Ordinationes Anglicans nuUse ac irritse censen- tur, non eo quod ab hereticis et schismaticis flant, sed turn ob successionis interruptam seriem episcoporum in secta ilia, turn ob vitiatam essentialiter formam." De Ord. Cap. IV. n. 106. Monsignor Nardi, the author of "Elementi di Diritto Ecclesiastico " etc., in the first edition of that work, printed in 1844, at Padua, pronounced Anglican Orders to doubtful — '' ordinazioni Anglicane sono dubbie. be ; Le He was then Professor of Canon Law in the University of Padua, and sent his work to Rome for examination. Gre- gory XVI gave the commission to examine it to /some learned theologians and canonists, among whom was Mon- signor Luigi Ferrari, Prefect of ceremonies at the Vatican, and a most eminent canonist. They remarked, inter aliUj "le ordinazioni Anglicane non sono dubbie, ma assoluta- mente invalide." This induced a more careful consideration of the question, and a correction of the passage in a se- cond edition, printed at Padua in 18b4. The passage was altered to: — "Al'incontro di niun valore sono le ordina- zioni de' protestanti, anche dove hanno un apparente epi- scopate, come in Inghilterra, Danimarca, Svezia, Norvegia, perche interrotta la successione, e quindi invalidata la consecrazione de' vescovi, mutato essenzialmente il rito, perita I'idea di sacerdozio e sacriflzio Cristiano." Tomo Secondo p. 97 hne 22. Monsignor Nardi thinks " the An- glican church has no real. priesthood, because priesthood and sacrifice are correlative, and sacrifice is officially de- nied in the Enghsh church. And besides the want of the form, and of historical succession, there is also a perpetual wanting of intention, which is a necessity to a sacrament." The validity of Parker's consecration depends upon two questions, firstly, was he consecrated by a bishop who RESTORATION OP THE HIEKARCHT CONTEMPLATED IN 1561 had himself been validly consecrated, and,,, secondly, was the ritual, used at his consecration, sufficient to confer valid episcopal ordination? There is at present in the Secret Archives of RESTORE- -"^ TioN OF THE the Vatican, a letter, addressed to Cardinal Mo- HIERA.RCHT . , ^ , , r -, , , i • . coNTEMPLA.- Toni, and sent to him from England, which must TEDIN1561. jj^^g been written after the 15'" of June, iS61. It is contained in a Volume which is entitled "Regis- trum diversarum Scripturarum Anglise, Scotise, Hiberniis, etc.", and is thus worded: — "Lettera scritta al Cardinale Morone da Inghilterra b da Fiandra. " Nel regno d'Inghilterra al presente sono venti sette Chiese Cathedrali, delle quali quindici sono vacanti per morte delli vescovi Cattolici, li quali erano stati posseduti legitimamente dalla Sede Apostoli<?a.

  • St Peter and St Paul Roman Catholic School, Leyburn, North Yorkshire
    St Peter and St Paul Roman Catholic School, Leyburn, North Yorkshire. The Early Years 1836-1872 As well as having one of the oldest churches in the Diocese of Middlesbrough, Leybum also has one of the oldest schools. The first school of St Peter and St Paul was built along with the church and presbytery in 1835/6 and remained open until about 1872. After being closed for 23 years the existing school was enlarged and upgraded to conform with the then current requirements and opened again in 1895. It has continued to provide Catholic education for children in the area until the present day. Although log books are extant for this second period, unfortunately none have survived or were kept prior to 1895. In the early part of the 19th Century there was no organised educational provision for the children of the working class. Dame schools provided an education of sorts for younger children and older children went to Common Day Schools (run by a man), or in some areas, to Factory Schools. Sunday Schools and Charity Schools offered free education to others but on a very patchy basis. Hence in 1810 the non-conformist churches set up the British and Foreign Schools Society with the aim of building more schools and in 1811 The National Society established by the Church of England followed suit in establishing these voluntary schools. Catholic parish schools- 'day' or 'poor' schools were usually established by the joint efforts of the religious orders, the clergy and the laity. Establishment and building of the School The Leybum Catholic School appears to be unusual in that, other than a very small endowment from the Riddells, both its establishment and support seem to have been funded by the people of the area.

HE publication in four successive numbers of The Whitehall Review of the names of those Protestants who have become Catholics since the Tractarian move ment, led to the almost general suggestion that Rome's Recruits should be permanently embodied in a pamphlet. This has now been done. The lists which appeared in The Whitehall Review have been carefully revised, corrected, and considerably augmented ; and the result is the compilation of what must be regarded as the first List of Converts to Catholicism of a reliable nature. While the idea of issuing such a statement of" Perversions " or " Conversions " was received with unanimous favour — for the silly letter addressed to the Morning Post by Sir Edward Sullivan can only be regarded as the wild effusion of an ultra-Protestant gone very wrong — great curiosity has been manifested as to the sources from whence we derived our information. The modus operandi was very simple. Possessed of a considerable nucleus, our hands were strengthened immediately after the appearance of the first list by 071 XT PREFACE. the co-operation of nearly all the converts themselves, who hastened to beg the addition of their names to the muster-roll.

  • Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World During the Age of Enlightenment1
    CSCH President’s Address 2012 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World during the Age of Enlightenment1 DARREN W. SCHMIDT The King’s University College My research stemming from doctoral studies is focused on English- speaking evangelical use, interpretation, and production of church history in the eighteenth century, during which religious revivals on both sides of the North Atlantic signalled new developments on many fronts. Church history was of vital importance for early evangelicals, in ways similar to earlier generations of Protestants beginning with the Reformation itself. In the eighteenth century nerves were still sensitive from the religious and political intrigues, polemic, and outright violence in the seventeenth- century British Isles and American colonies; terms such as “Puritan” and “enthusiast” maintained the baggage of suspicion. Presumed to be guilty by association, evangelical leaders were compelled to demonstrate that the perceived “surprising work of God” in their midst had a pedigree: they accordingly construed their experience as part of a long narrative of religious ebb and flow, declension and revival. Time and time again, eighteenth-century evangelicals turned to the pages of the past to vindicate and to validate their religious identity.2 Browsing through historiographical studies, one is hard-pressed to find discussion of eighteenth-century church historical writing. There is general scholarly agreement that the Protestant Reformation gave rise to a new historical interest. In answer to Catholic charges of novelty, Historical Papers 2012: Canadian Society of Church History 188 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World Protestants critiqued aspects of medieval Catholicism and sought to show their continuity with early Christianity.

  • The Early Career of Bishop Charles Walmsley Osb Dd Frs 1722-97
    © English Benedictine Congregation History Commission – Symposium 1997 THE EARLY CAREER OF BISHOP CHARLES WALMSLEY OSB DD FRS 1722-97 Dom Geoffrey Scott HE ENGLISH BENEDICTINE CHARLES WALMESLEY, Vicar Apostolic of the Western District, died stone deaf on November 25th 1797, aged 75. Since 1997 marks the Tbi-centenary of his death, this is a tribute to a monk who was a mathematician and astronomer of international renown, for many years the doyen of the English Vicars Apostolic, and the father of the American hierarchy, through his consecration of Bishop John Carroll in 1790. No comprehensive biography of Walmesley has ever been attempted, for aspiring biographers have been daunted by the assertion that whilst he was at Wardour Castle, all his library, archives and papers went up in flames when the chapel and house at Bath were fired by the mob during the Gordon Riots in 1780. Because of his major involvement in the conflict between the Catholic Committee and some of the Vicars Apostolic in the last two decades of the eighteenth century, his later career has received much attention from scholars. His contribution to that conflict will not, therefore, be addressed here. What follows is an attempt to gather together what singed biographical fragments remain of those earlier and perhaps happier years of a man whom public opinion regarded in his mature years as the rising hope of stern unbending English Catholic conservatism [1].1 F A M I L Y Charles Walmesley was born at Westwood Hall on the outskirts of Wigan, Lancashire, on 13 January 1722, the seventh son, and youngest but one, of twelve children, of the wealthy Lancashire Catholic squire and Wigan alderman, John Walmesley and his wife, Mary Greaves.

  • GOLD TRIED 550 TIMES in the FIRE Timothy Alborn
    GOLD TRIED 550 TIMES IN THE FIRE Timothy Alborn Historians inevitably face the challenge of selecting a subset of primary sources to stand for a much larger body of research. This challenge is magnified in the case of the history of ideas, where the need to provide closer readings tends to diminish that already small sample size. My article, “The Greatest Metaphor Ever Mixed,” distilled hundreds of sources from numerous genres down to a few dozen. A section on the various uses of the metaphor of gold tried in the fire, for instance, quotes twenty-eight sources that employ that metaphor, or roughly five percent of the sources I consulted. To find all these sources, I pursued two parallel tracks. The first was part of a larger project on the cultural and economic history of gold in Britain from 1780 to 1850, which will soon be published by Oxford University Press. For this project, I spent the last eight years looking for references to gold wherever they showed up: in treatises, novels, sermons, speeches, and newspaper articles, among many other sources. The bulk of my research utilized such online databases as Eighteenth Century Collections Online, Making of the Modern World, and Google Books. After realizing, a few years into this research, that gold appeared frequently and with interesting variations in numerous religious contexts, I did more targeted search in these databases (see my full list of search terms below for “gold tried in the fire”). In a blog post accompanying a different article I published two years ago in the Journal of Victorian Culture, I made a first foray into providing access to the larger cultural world that historians must curtail in order to “see the forest for the trees.” (link).

  • 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.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans.
