This crucial shift in thinking occurred during 1899-190 1, and is c1early reflected in his own writings. From then on, he differentiated between the institution that was the Catholic Church and Catholicism as a religion. Although he remained faithful te the latter, his diaries and letters preserve an intentional record of his severe criticism of the Catholic hierarchy. Bishop's views represent those of a layman and of an informed observer at • a time when the Catholic Church was confronting the Modernist challenge. • ii • RÉSUMÉ Les études antérieures sur la vie et la pensée d'Edmund Bishop (1846-1917), liturgiste anglais converti au catholicisme, n'ont pas bien fait ressortir le changement d'altitude de cet auteur envers l'institution de l'Église catholique-romaine. De positive qu'ellc était, son altitude est devenue très négative au cours des années 1899-190 1, et ce revirement est bien visible dans ses propres oeuvres. À partir de ce momcnt, il a établi une distinction nette entre l'Église catholique en tant qu'institution et le catholicisme. Bien qu'il soit resté fidèle à cette religion, il a pris soin de noter dans son journal intime et ses lettres ses critiques sévères de la hiérarchie catholique. Le point de vue exprimé par • Bishop est celui d'un laïc et d'un observateur éclairé à une époque où l'Église catholiquc devait faire face à la montée du modernisme. • iii • PREFACE Edmund Bishop (1846-1917) first attracted my attention while 1 was researching a paper on early twentieth ccntury "Modernism" in the Roman Catholic Church. Many of the books and articles that concerned the developments in the Church, l'rom the tirst Vatican Council (1869-70) to the papal Encyclical Pascendi dominici i:regis (1907), mentioned the name of the erudite English liturgiologist, Edmund Bishop. Sorne authors claimed him as a Catholic liberal, others as a Catholic modernist, often citing the same passages l'rom Nigel Abercrombie's 1959 biography. An article in 1983 by Dom Andrew Moore in the Downside Review piqued my • interest. Moore mentioned the "self-imposed limits" of Bishop's biographer and his own opinion that Bishop's observations of the institutional element of the Roman Church were worth studying. These comments convinced me that it was time for a fresh look at Bishop's records. 1haù already been fascinated by John Henry Newman's triadic structure of the offices of the Church (prophet, priest and king) and Friedrich von Hügel's subsequent theological construct of triads. 1wondered how Bishop, in turn, had accommodated himself to what he called the institutional Church. 1 found the answer in Bishop's papers, almost ail of which exist in manascript form only. These sources require sorne explanation and are discussed in the introduction to the bibliography. • iv The completion of this project has been assisted by many people. 1thank my supervisor, Professor E.J. Furcha; Dean Donna Runnalls; Professor Gregory Baum; • Professor Hereward Senior of the History Department; and Dr. John Coulson and Professor John Kent of Bristol University, England. For the use of Edmund Bishop's papers, 1 thank the Abbot, as weil as Dom Prior Daniel Rees and Bridgit de Salis of Downside Abbey, England. 1am grateful to Madeline Jeffrey of the Iibrary of Heythrop College, London, and for the assistance given by the staff of our Faculty's library: Norma Johnston, Jennifer Wheeler, Tapas Majumdar and Mary Margaret Klempa. 1 am indebted to Lawrence Nyveen and Dr. Robert MacKenzie for reading the manuscript; to Moya Drummond for editorial assistance; to Dr. John Wickham and the Loyola Jesuit Community for financial assistance; to Christopher Hawkins for conceding to me with generosity and grace, his own proposed project for doctoral studies based on Edmund Bishop' s papers. • Finally, 1express my deep appreciation to friends and family who provided encouragement and support: Dr. Donald Stoesz, Gretchen Brabander.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By John H. Osman Washington, D.C. 2015 A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore John H. Osman, Ph.D. Director: Joseph M. White, Ph.D. At the 1884 Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, the US Catholic bishops commissioned a national prayer book titled the Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity and the widely-known Baltimore Catechism. This study examines the Manual’s genesis, contents, and publication history to understand its contribution to the Church’s teaching efforts. To account for the Manual’s contents, the study describes prayer book genres developed in the British Isles that shaped similar publications for use by American Catholics. The study considers the critiques of bishops and others concerning US-published prayer books, and episcopal decrees to address their weak theological content. To improve understanding of the Church’s liturgy, the bishops commissioned a prayer book for the laity containing selections from Roman liturgical books. The study quantifies the text’s sources from liturgical and devotional books. The book’s compiler, Rev. Clarence Woodman, C.S.P., adopted the English manual prayer book genre while most of the book’s content derived from the Roman Missal, Breviary, and Ritual, albeit augmented with highly regarded English and US prayers and instructions.

    Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England by Christian D. Knudsen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of the Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto Copyright © by Christian D. Knudsen ABSTRACT Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England Christian D. Knudsen Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto This dissertation examines monastic sexual misconduct in cloistered religious houses in the dioceses of Lincoln and Norwich between and . Traditionally, any study of English monasticism during the late Middle Ages entailed the chronicling of a slow decline and decay. Indeed, for nearly years, historiographical discourse surrounding the Dissolution of Monasteries (-) has emphasized its inevitability and presented late medieval monasticism as a lacklustre institution characterized by worsening standards, corruption and even sexual promiscuity. As a result, since the Dissolution, English monks and nuns have been constructed into naughty characters. My study, centred on the sources that led to this claim, episcopal visitation records, will demonstrate that it is an exaggeration due to the distortion in perspective allowed by the same sources, and a disregard for contextualisation and comparison between nuns and monks. In Chapter one, I discuss the development of the monastic ‘decline narrative’ in English historiography and how the theme of monastic lasciviousness came to be so strongly associated with it. Chapter two presents an overview of the historical background of late medieval English monasticism and my methodological approach to the sources. ii Abstract iii In Chapter three, I survey some of the broad characteristics of monastic sexual misconduct.

  • Dom Gregory Dix – Reshaped
    Homo Eucharisticus: Dom Gregory Dix – Reshaped David John Fuller, B Sc, B Th Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theology and Religious Studies University of Glasgow December 2013 Copyright © David Fuller, 2013 Homo Eucharisticus: Dom Gregory Dix – Reshaped 2 ABSTRACT In his book The Shape of the Liturgy Dom Gregory Dix coined the phrase ‘Eucharistic man’. In a speech to clergy Archbishop Rowan Williams remarked that Homo Eucharisticus, his Latinised version of Dix’s words, was, ‘a new human species who makes sense of the world in the presence of the risen Jesus at his table’. This thesis will seek to define what is specifically meant by the term Homo Eucharisticus and to indicate that, in a very real sense, Dix is Homo Eucharisticus, understood in his life, vocation, and his primary scholarship as it is centred on The Shape of the Liturgy. I shall demonstrate that Dix’s theology was Incarnational and that his Trinitarian understanding was based on the precept of a ‘Spiritual-Logos’. I shall examine these concepts in the context of Dix’s experience and personality. I shall assess the historical, intellectual and theological influences that helped to shape his life and vocation, and explore his Anglican identity as a priest, a scholar and a member of a religious community. I shall explain Dix’s creative understanding of the Trinitarian nature of the Eucharist and determine that he was a noteworthy theologian of major significance. I shall include studies of his writings on the Ministry of the Church and his major liturgical works The Apostolic Tradition of Saint Hippolytus and The Shape of the Liturgy.

  • St Edmund\222S, Douai Abbey
    Chapter 4 Woolhampton 1903-2003 Abbot Geoffrey Scott 1. Arrival at Woolhampton ‘My dear confrère’, wrote Abbot Lawrence Larkin in his letter from Great Malvern priory to the brethren in April 1903, ‘Our old home at Douai is being broken up by the French Government, and we are to be expelled from the country…for no other reason than because we are religious men. But Almighty God…has shown His merciful Providence in a way that seems truly wonderful. No sooner is the old Douai closed than a new Douai is open and offered to us on English soil’. St Mary’s College, Woolhampton, overlooking the Kennet Valley, in Berkshire, to which the Community and school at Douai transferred, was the direct successor of a small domestic school which the last chaplain to the Catholic family at Woolhampton manor had established in the early 1830s. In the nineteenth century, it had grown into a small boys’ boarding school, forming a three-sided quadrangle. At the northern end of this quadrangle, St. Mary’s Church, serving as the school’s chapel was the only Catholic church in the district of Newbury until the end of the nineteenth century. With the establishment of the diocese of Portsmouth in 1882, further buildings were erected, and the college became a minor seminary, sending boys to be trained as Catholic priests in the various English seminaries. By 1900, Bishop John Baptist Cahill of Portsmouth, had become anxious about the decline in student numbers and about the future viability of the Woolhampton establishment. He had visited St Edmund’s, Douai, privately in 1902, and when news came of the monks’ expulsion from France, he immediately offered the lease of St Mary’s College to St Edmund’s, Douai.

The Office of the Dead would have been one of the most familiar liturgical rituals in the medieval period, and was recited almost without ceasing at family funerals, gild commemorations, yearly minds, and chantry chapel services. The Placebo and Dirige were texts that many people knew through this constant exposure, and would have been more widely known than other 'death' texts such as the Ars Moriendi. The images that are found in these books reflect wider trends in the piety and devotional practice of the time.
