He pointed out that conversion is not just for atheists but also for those who already consider themselves Christians: “No one can say: I’m fine. Not true, it would be pre- sumptuous, because we must always be converted”. The term ‘conversion’ is used in many different contexts and in a variety of ways. No single definition can be offered which could do justice to the polysemic and dynamic nature of this concept. Meanwhile, we are faced with a theological concept which each and every theologian will somehow have to come to terms with. This has also been the case for Professor Henk Witte, who held the Xaverius Chair for Ignatian Spirituality and Theology at the School for Catholic Theology at Tilburg University, the Netherlands, between 2011 and 2016. Admittedly, Witte has never written a full-fledged study on ‘conversion’, but he did not cease to touch upon the subject from various different angles. For those who study his work more closely, the concept of ‘conversion’ is quietly present as a leitmotiv throughout his theological writings, from the very first years to the most recent period. In 1986, when Witte was finishing his doctoral dissertation on the notion of the hierarchia veritatum, the hierarchy of truths in the decrees of the Second Vatican Council, he came across the word when studying the conciliar inter- ventions of Archbishop Eugene Louis D’Souza.1 The young systematic theo logian seems to have been triggered by D’Souza’s focus on the conversio cordis. In his dissertation, Witte devoted some reflections to the term, clarify- ing that a true conversion of the heart involved an interplay of personal modesty, and the avoidance of ‘hypertrophia’, the over-accentuation or exag- geration of dogmatic truths. Conversion then could be defined as a capacity for reflection (without ‘overdue rationalizations’, Witte warned in his early work), and above all as a discernment that leads to a certain balance and nuance. 1 H. Witte, “Alnaargelang hun band met het fundament van het christelijk geloof verschillend is”. Wording en verwerking van de uitspraak over de ‘hiërarchie’ van waarheden van Vaticanum II, (Tilburg: Tilburg University Press, 1986), Cf. D’Souza’s intervention at the council: Acta Synodalia Sacrosancti Concilii Oecumenici Vaticani II (as) II.6, 195–6.

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.

Fr. Ignatius Spencer Passionist When people come to consult me in their difficulties, I should always wish to have them return to me after 10 days or a fortnight, and to go through what might be called a preparatory course of medicine. If they will comply, the case assumes a much more simple aspect and the cure is comparatively easy. I would have them make a clear statement of themselves of all their troubles, all their doubts, all their scruples, all the troubles they look forward to as likely to come upon them, or possible to arise out of the circumstances they are in; and then suppose that all this possible trouble was sure. Then go on for the 10 days, doing noth- ing but thank God for it altogether, and every position in detail, till they have brought themselves into a complete and settled state of peace and joy over it all. It is clear how easy a matter it will be after that to bring everything right. All is right already, and with nothing more wanted. Perhaps it will seem as if this was impossible or against sound sense. It is neither one nor the other for a person who believes what we all believe.

  • Jesuit Theology, Politics, and Identity: the Generalate of Acquaviva and the Years of Formation Franco Motta
    chapter seventeen Jesuit Theology, Politics, and Identity: The Generalate of Acquaviva and the Years of Formation Franco Motta The Jesuit Archetype: A Long History What is a Jesuit? A priest; a member of a religious order, or rather of a regular congregation; a priest called to mission. Often, a teacher. Today, the list of defini- tions would more or less stop here. There is nothing specifically “Jesuit” about this description, as it could apply to the members of many other Catholic religious orders. It is one of the many consequences of secularization: in the collective perception, the differences that make up the complexity of the church are lost; the identities of the religious orders fade, and with them, the meaning of schools that at one time were recog- nizable in speech, modes of being, and their presence in the world. Before the mid-twentieth century, things were different. If we step back eighty years, we encounter signs and meanings that are connected to a far more distant past. In January 1932, the Spanish republic disbanded the Society of Jesus within its territories and forfeited its benefits on the grounds that the Jesuits were loyal to a foreign sovereign: the pope. At that time, a Jesuit’s identity was much clearer: an enemy of the state, an agent in service of a great power, an agitator, equipped with great influence over women, aristocrats, and elites; and, above all, a sworn enemy to civil and scientific progress.1 This was more or less the conceptual catalog that was then in use. Naturally, the prime minister of the

In 1541, he left Europe as a missionary to the “East Indies.” He spent short, they value arms more than any people I have ever seen. They are time in India, where he met a Japanese man named Anger who converted to Christianity and took the name Paul.

  • Dominic Barberi in Nailsworth Nailsworth’S Italian Missionary – Blessed Dominic of the Mother of God by Brian Torode and Richard Barton in 1987
    Dominic Barberi in Nailsworth Nailsworth’s Italian Missionary – Blessed Dominic of the Mother of God by Brian Torode and Richard Barton in 1987 (Copyright rests with Richard Barton) Tucked between the hamlets of Forest Green and Windsoredge and the heart of modern Nailsworth, overlooking the wooded hillside of Watledge, stands Northfields. The original house was built in about 1707 as the manse or parsonage for the minister of the Forest Green Congregational Chapel. From about 1800, the enlarged house served as a small grammar school which was first run by the minister and was, in 1820, known as Chapel House Academy. The house is situated along Northfields Road, the old road from Stroud into Nailsworth, which passes many of the old cottages that are situated along the spring line. This route would have been well-trodden by the many clothiers, weavers and cloth workers of the area prior to the turnpike roads being constructed along the valley bottoms. 1 Northfields Less than a quarter of a mile away, up the hill, the Independents used to meet in a forest clearing, from as early as 1672, and this outdoor gathering grew into the Forest Green Congregational Church. At this time, Nailsworth was not a town, as we know it today, but merely a collection of scattered hamlets. Forest Green was actually situated within the ancient parish of Avening and, because it was situated over two miles from the medieval parish church, there the practice of non-conformist or independent worship flourished. Quaker meetings thrived in Nailsworth from 1655 and warranted visits from George Fox on three occasions.
