S A L A M A N C A 2 0 1 9 P A G E 0 4 T H E S C O T S C O L L E G E , S A L A M A N C A Mgr Denis Carlin – Diocese of Paisley – Former Rector of the Scots College, Salamanca A question often asked of us (both in Spain and in Scotland) is: Why is there a Scots College in Salamanca… or even in Spain? The answer begins in 1560 when the Scots Parliament outlawed the practice of the Catholic religion in Scotland. To ensure a supply of priests for the Scottish Mission, seminaries were founded at Tournay (later moved to Douay), Rome, Paris and Madrid. Honourable mention should also be made of the Benedictine monasteries of Regensburg and Würzburg which also provided priests for Scotland in those difficult times. Colonel William Semple of Lochwinnoch, after a life spent in the military and diplomatic service of the Spanish crown, founded (with his wife, Doña María de Ledesma) a college in Madrid in 1627, entrusting its running to the Jesuits. Their deed of foundation stipulated that the college was for students: “Scottish by birth, preferably those of superior character and virtue and those who promise more fruit in the welfare of souls, and they have to spend whatever time may be necessary in studying Grammar and Philosophy, Theology, Controversies and Sacred Scripture, so that when they are well versed in all of these, they may proceed to the said Kingdom of Scotland to preach the Gospel and convert heretics… when they leave the said seminary for this purpose, others are to be received in their place having the same end, and thus the matter will continue for as long as the aforesaid conversion may require”. For various reasons, the College in Madrid did not produce very many priests for the mission in Scotland and at times was almost on the verge of extinction. Such was the case when in 1771 John Geddes (later to be Vicar Apostolic of the Lowland District in Scotland) obtained from Carlos III the use of the former Jesuit Colegio de San Ambrosio in Valladolid. Luckily, for us Scots at least, in 1767 the king had suppressed the Society of Jesus in his realm and many of the former Jesuit buildings lay empty. The original Cédula Real (Royal Charter) of 1771 granting us part of the building was followed in the same decade by others which gave us the use of more of the building and granted us similar constitutions and rights as had the English ‘Colegio de San Albano’, founded in Valladolid in 1589. S A L A M A N C A 2 0 1 9 P A G E 0 5 From its new base Valladolid, the Royal Scots College sent a steady stream of priests to Scotland, achieving one of our finest hours when by 1798 we remained the only Scots seminary on the Continent functioning when the other colleges were suppressed in the turmoil which followed the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon, although we too had to close our doors briefly from 1808-1816 due to the Peninsular War. In 1812 our country house, built in the village of Boecillo less than twenty years previously, twice played host to the Duke of Wellington and his army in the course of his campaigns against the French. It is also worth noting that in the early 19th century a number of priests trained in Valladolid went as chaplains with the Scots who were driven from their highland homes to seek refuge in Canada; some of these priests became founding bishops of dioceses there. While the College had a long and fruitful stay of more than two hundred years in Valladolid, occupied a distinguished building in that city and had many friends and pastoral contacts there, the decision was taken to move to the beautiful university city of Salamanca in 1988: this was done principally to give our students the possibility of attending the Pontifical University (established by Pius XII in 1940, restoring the ancient Salmantino tradition of teaching Theology and Canon Law to the highest level), thus allowing them access to S.T.L. and J.C.L. degrees. For some years after our arrival in the ‘City by the Tormes’ we rented a building from the Marist Brothers and ended up buying it from them. This building, while in a very pleasant site, bore all the hallmarks of a Spanish ‘rush job’ of the mid 60’s; these hallmarks were exacerbated in 1992 when we were linked up for the first time with the city mains water supply… and the plumbing system could not cope. The virtually continuous presence of plumbers and electricians convinced us that drastic measures were needed… and we took them. And why are we still here? Read again the quote from the deed of foundation (making ecumenical changes where necessary): that students trained here “may proceed to the Kingdom of Scotland to preach the Gospel”. S A L A M A N C A 2 0 1 9 P A G E 0 6 O U R P A T R O N S During the course of this week we’ll be visiting sights and thinking about ideas connected with two very famous Spanish Saints – St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. But who were they? St. Teresa of Avila Saint Teresa of Ávila, born Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda y Ahumada, also called Saint Teresa of Jesus (28 March 1515 – 4 October 1582), was a Spanish noblewoman with Jewish roots who chose a monastic life in the Roman Catholic Church. A Carmelite nun, prominent Spanish mystic, religious reformer, author, theologian of the contemplative life and mental prayer, she earned the rare distinction of being declared a Doctor of the Church over four centuries after her death.

Armstrong Working Paper No. 2016-04 Version: 19 January, 2019 In the previous chapter, I outlined the different models of civil society which developed in the late medieval and early modern periods – the communicatio politica of the Medieval church and the societas civilis of Renaissance humanism. In this chapter, I will discuss the centuries- long development and reform of Catholic political doctrine in early and middle modernity,1 focussing particularly on the church’s conception of authority. It is of interest not just because this history informs the priest-leadership of the Antigonish Movement, but because it is the single most sustained intellectual debate we have about the nature and sources of authority in civil society. Unitary conceptions of sovereignty, whether of kingship or democracy, homogenize all political questions in terms of a single principle. Pluralist conceptions, on the other hand, provide for alternative answers built on different principles. The Augustinian theology of the heavenly and earthly cities is pluralist in this sense.

  • Alexander Cameron I: Rector
    CHAPTERVIII Alexander Cameron I: Rector John Geddes had ceased to be rector of the college on 1st Nov- ember 1780, having spent ten years in the position. His successor, Alexander Cameron, was to be rector for nearly twice as long. Cameron was born at Auchindryne, near Braemar, on 28th July 1747 (O.S.), the son of James Cameron and Marjory (or Helen) McIntosh. He was a grandnephew of Thomas Brockie, the priest for many years in the Cabrach, and was sent to live with him before, at the age of twelve, going to Scalan. There he spent four years, the last two under the tutelage of John Geddes, who had been sent to take charge of the little seminary in 1762. He went to the Scots College, Rome, in the autumn of 1764, travelling via Burntisland, Dunkirk, Paris, Marseilles and Leghorn, and reaching the Eternal City on 23rd December. During his seven years in Rome, Alexander Cameron is said to have received the favours of the Cardinal Duke of York, in recogni- tion of the loyalty of the clan to the Stuart cause and of the services his father had rendered in the risings of 1715 and 1745. It is also said that he excelled in his studies and was therefore subjected to considerable pressure (which he resisted) to join the Society of Jesus. Due to the great need for priests in Scotland, he was called home a year or so early, having been ordained on 2nd February .1772, and was appointed to be priest in charge of the mission at Strathavon in the south of Banffshire.

  • Queen Saint Margaret, Jesuit Devotion, and Seventeenth-Century Scottish Catholicism
    journal of jesuit studies 7 (2020) 83-102 brill.com/jjs Queen Saint Margaret, Jesuit Devotion, and Seventeenth-Century Scottish Catholicism Mary Elizabeth Horan Independent Scholar [email protected] Abstract From one small devotional book about Queen Saint Margaret and its three translations we can learn much about the nature of post-Reformation, seventeenth-century Scot- tish Catholicism. First, the style of the book’s meditation informs us of the influential role that the Jesuits played in forming the next generation of Scottish men and priests, as well as shaping the intellectual and devotional culture of post-Reformation Scot- tish Catholicism. Second, this book was part of a larger movement of writings and devotional practices designed to emphasize the “Scottishness” of Catholics’ faith while in exile among other Western European traditions. Third, the paratextual elements provide evidence that the Scots colleges were closely aligned with the royalist cause. And finally, this book and others like it were used to solicit aid and support for the Scots colleges. Keywords Counter-Reformation – devotion – seventeenth century – Catholicism – faith in exile – saints and cults – Jesuits – St. Margaret of Scotland – Scots colleges – Scottish identity 1 Introduction In honor of King Charles ii’s (1660–85) restoration in 1660, the Jesuits at the Scots College in Douai published a devotional book entitled L’Idée d’une reine parfaite (The idea of a perfect queen). The original French text is a consolidated translation of the Latin Vita composed by Turgot of Durham (c.1050–115), Mar- garet’s confessor and spiritual guide, shortly after her death.
