BY JOHN H. CHAPMAN, ESQ., M.A., F.S.A., BARRISTER-AT-LAW. THIS subject has been ignored by the majority of writers of English history. Some have assumed that the unfortunate persons who suffered death and lesser penalties for their reli- gion during this reign, were also guilty of what we should admit to be acts of treason against the State. This theory is not supported by facts. Modern research (and the word "modern," in this case, means that of the last ten or fifteen years) has proved beyond question the utter falsity of Coke's statement, "That in the reign of Elizabeth there was put to death for religion not one." The most has been made of the persecution under Queen Mary, and the names of the sufferers have become as household words, yet even now but little is generally known of similar deeds that were done in the reign of her sister.

  • Sacred Presence in the English New World
    Conversations: An Online Journal of the Center for the Study of Material and Visual Cultures of Religion (mavcor.yale.edu) Jamestown’s Relics: Sacred Presence in the English New World Christopher M.B. Allison Fig. 1 Reliquary in situ, sitting above the coffin detritus in the grave identified as that of Captain Gabriel Archer. Image courtesy of Jamestown Rediscovery (Historic Jamestowne). In the harsh winter of 1609-1610, settlers at Jamestown placed a small silver case with a slide opening etched with a single letter ─ M ─ carefully on top of a white oak coffin and then covered it with the hard, cold dirt of the New World. Inside the silver encasing were seven bone fragments and two lead ampulae filled with water, oil, dirt, or blood─relics of an unknown saint or saints that came to rest in Virginia. The settlers placed these on top of a coffin, a box filled with the corpse of a deceased English colonist. When the news broke in 2015 that archaeologists had uncovered a reliquary in James- town, some authors intimated that it would force us to reconsider the history of early America anew.1 Others suggested that the public and those involved in archaeological findings should know better, that the religious diversity among early settlers had long been established in the scholarship.2 Both perspectives have some validity, but the dis- covery demonstrates that our greatest insights and questions can come from the ground. The reliquary’s preeminent value—and why it deserves to be considered as remarkable— is as a material source that raises new questions and helps us imagine new possibilities around the earliest English settlement in North America.

  • Pastoral Letter from Bishop Mark
    Diocese of Plymouth From the Office of the Bishop Pastoral Message for the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Canonisation of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales – 25th October 2020. Dear Friends, This weekend we mark an historic moment – the fiftieth anniversary of the Canonisation of the forty martyrs of England and Wales, which took place on 25th October 1970. On that occasion, Pope Paul VI reminded us “We have among the 40 holy Martyrs secular and regular priests, religious of various orders, and of different rank, lay people of very noble descent, as well as of modest condition; we have women who were married, mothers with a family. What unites them all is that interior attitude of fidelity to the call of God asked of them, as an answer of love…….The drama of the existence of these martyrs, was that their honest and sincere loyalty to the civil authority came to be in conflict with fidelity to God and with what, according to the dictates of their conscience illuminated by the Catholic faith, they knew to involve the revealed truths, especially to the Holy Eucharist and on the inalienable prerogatives of the successor of Peter, who, at the behest of God, is the universal Pastor of the Church of Christ.” (Pope Paul VI, Homily at the Canonisation of the Forty Martyrs) We are especially blessed to have one of these Martyrs, St Cuthbert Mayne, as one of our Patrons. He was born and grew up in North Devon and ministered as a priest in Cornwall. He was captured there in 1577 and imprisoned in Launceston Castle for several months before being hung, drawn and quartered in the Market Square on 29th November 1577.

  • October Saints
    Saint of the Day October October 1: St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, Virgin and Doctor Thérèse was born in Normandy, France in 1873, the youngest of five daughters born to Blessed Zelie and Louis Martin. Throughout her childhood, St. Thérèse felt the call to be a Carmelite nun like her older sister Pauline. She entered the Carmelite monastery at Caen in 1888 when she was just fifteen. She lived a life of humility, simplicity, and trust in God. St. Thérèse wanted to always perform small acts, rather than great deeds, for the glory of God. This became her “little way,” and every sacrifice became a joy to her. St. Thérèse taught virtue by her word and example. Her sisters encouraged her to write about her own life. Later, this spiritual memoir became The Story of a Soul. St. Thérèse died in 1897 of tuberculosis at age 24, after much suffering. The story of her life quickly spread and devotion to her grew. She was canonized in 1925. In 1997, St. John Paul II declared her one of the thirty-three Doctors of the Church, one of four women to receive the title. St. Thérèse is the patroness of the missions. She is known as the Little Flower. October 2: Memorial of the Guardian Angels Angels are pure spirits created by God. The word angel means messenger. There are many stories about angels in the Bible. Angels give us God’s messages, keep us safe from harm, and pray for us. Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide.

  • The Canonisation of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales the Cause
    The Canonisation of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales The cause for the canonisation of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales, which eventually took place on 25 October 1970, had its roots in the mid-19th Century when, following the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in England and Wales in 1850, Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman and Cardinal Henry Manning, successive Archbishops of Westminster from 1850 until 1892, led a campaign for the recognition of those who had been Martyred for the faith. Just a year previously, in 1849, Frederick William Faber had written the rousing hymn Faith of Our Fathers in memory of the Martyrs. Born and raised an Anglican, Faber converted and was ordained a Priest later becoming an Oratorian Father, the congregation founded by St Philip Neri to which St John Henry Newman also belonged. By 1935 nearly two hundred Reformation Martyrs had been beatified, earning the title ‘Blessed’, but only two, John Fisher and Thomas More, had been canonised; both on 19 May 1935 by Pope Pius XI. Following the end of the Second World War, the cause, which had been largely dormant for some years, was gradually revived and, in December 1960, the names of thirty four English and six Welsh Martyrs were submitted to the Sacred Congregation of Rites by Cardinal William Godfrey, Archbishop of Westminster. All of these had been Martyred between 1535 and 1679. The list of names was drawn up in consultation with the Bishops of England and Wales and an attempt was made to ensure the list reflected a spread of social status and religious rank, together with a geographical spread and the existence of a well-established devotion.
