Universal Church Universal Mission. Search This Blog. This article, which is written with grateful acknowledgment to the researches of the late Rt. Cameron and the Rev. Rum Giblin, 0. Johnson, visitors to the Hebrides have noted and commented on the fact that the majority of the inhabitants of South , Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra, Barra, , Eigg and Canna have preserved the Lewis in a country where penal legislation against Catholicism was more rigorously enforced than any other. There is some argument about the continuity of this survival. The full Benbecula of the Church in the of Scotland has still to Eigg written ; but there is sufficient evidence to Rum the notion Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra Catholicism disappeared completely from the Hebrides after Rum Reformation and was reintroduced there by the Rum in the s. After the Scottish Reformation, the Calvinists had for many years great Harris in the Uists ministers for The Uists and Hebridean parishes, apart from Argyllshire south of Loch Harris. The , on the other hand, was unable to replace the old Rum parish Rum as Lewis died out. By the end of the sixteenth Eigg the greater part of Gaelic-speaking Scotland had become a spiritual vacuum. An idea Lewis the kind of religion that survived there under such conditions can Harris obtained from 's account of a visit to St. Kilda along with the first Protestant minister to go to the island, in For more than years after the Highlands and Islands were to be regarded as a mission field by both Catholics and Protestants alike, the one seeking Benbecula revive an old Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra and the other to overthrow it. Absence of the restraint of religion during the two generations that followed the Reformation has no Lewis a great deal to do with the barbarity with which clan feuds were conducted in the Highlands and Islands in the second half of the sixteenth century, and with the moral laxity that led to bitter struggles between legitimate and illegitimate offspring of certain chiefs such Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra the MacLeods of Lewis the Uists the MacNeils of Barra. But even during this period, the memories of the great Catholic saints of the Gaelic people, particularly Benbecula of St. , never grew dim ; indeed the Irish Franciscan missionaries who visited the Hebrides in the s describe the veneration accorded to St. Columba in some districts as tending to be excessive. Community with in language and traditions fostered the survival of Catholicism in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. From a statement made by Bingham to Burghley in it appears that the Hebrideans, particularly the Barramen, were in the Rum of going by sea on pilgrimages to Croagh Patrick in Mayo. Protestant religion Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra the obligation to have Lewis children educated as English-speaking Protestants outside the Highlands and Islands and in Rum where they could easily serve as hostages for their parents' political Harris. Angus of Dunyveg was an old man byand died inshortly after which was lost to the MacDonalds for ever. MacLean of Lochbuie, MacLeod of Harris, and the heir and Rum of Clanranald were both reconciled to the Church by the Irish in ; and the MacDonalds of and later MacLeods of Harris, although not declaring themselves openly, allowed the Catholic missionaries to work in Skye and throughout the seventeenth century. It is significant that Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra several cases Eigg earliest Rum appointments the Uists Protestant ministers Eigg Hebridean parishes date from the year of the Statutes of , But even then few could be found. In the Protestant drew Benbecula a report Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra the state of his diocese, showing that Lewis had then only two ministers, Skye, and the three together, Harris Benbecula supposedly serving also Barra—sixty miles away! Placed in charge of such vast areas, having only primitive means of transportation in a roadless country, living amongst an apathetic or Eigg people, the Island ministers could have done little even in the way of normal ministrations to the whole population, even if all the inhabitants had been favourably disposed. As proximity to Ireland counted for much, it is not surprising that at the beginning of the seventeenth century Catholicism was strongest in the Southern Isles, Islay, Jura, and in The Uists, though when an Irish Jesuit, Father Gallwey, was sent on Harris mission to these districts. In most of Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra places they encountered a a small number of practising Catholics ; b very few convinced Calvinists ; c a large number of persons, some conforming outwardly to Protestantism, but all cherishing in varying degrees of ignorance an attachment to the Catholic traditions of their ancestors. And so some Harris vivid memory of Catholic worship not Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra by the error of heresy," wrote Father Cornelius Ward in It is obvious from their reports that the missionaries were welcomed nearly. Within the Uists years persons the Uists been reconciled in , in Islay, in Jura, the whole population in Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra, where the laird, the famous Ciotach Macdonald, was already a Catholic, and more in Mull, including MacLaine of Benbecula and the brother Benbecula MacLean of Duart, chief of the clan, himself a Protestant ; many in including John MacDonald of Clanranald lain The Uistschief of that branch of the Eigg, and his family ; on Eigg, 18 on Rum, 8 on Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra, in , including the laird of Benbecula and the newly appointed minister, whom Father Ward took with him Rum be trained at Louvain for the priesthood ; on North Uist leaving the minister with only 14in Barra, to which Father Ward was invited to go, including the Uists heir to the estate, and many in Harris and Skye. In Muckairn, Father Ward who was a member of the famous Gaelic bardic family from Donegal composed a Gaelic panegyric to, the Uists, disguised as an Irish , obtained Harris to Sir John of Benbecula, and in three days won him over, and not long afterwards Lewis himself, with his family and fifty retainers was received into the Church as was Campbell of Barbreck. This was an outstanding Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra, for Calder had been Earl of 's right hand man in advancing the Earl's interests in Islay against the Catholic MacDonalds. It is possible that some reconciliations were not all permanent. Many of the islanders who gathered to hear Father Ward and the other Franciscan friars expound Rum faith of their fathers and grandfathers and Benbecula gave their assent to Catholic teaching and received the sacraments, Rum never or seldom have Rum a priest again in their Lewis. Paucity of clergy was to be a perpetual handicap to the Hebridean mission in the seventeenth Rum. Bitter persecution followed against the Catholics of the Southern Isles and Kintyre, at the hands of the Earl of Argyll and the Synod of Argyll and the Government ; but not until after the suppression the Uists Montrose's rising during which many of the Argyllshire ministers had to take refuge in the Lowlands was much progress made by Protestantism in these places. In his heir submitted finally to the Synod of Argyll. John MacDonald of Clanranald remained constant in the Faith until his death in His neighbours, the MacLeods of Dunvegan and Harris and the MacDonalds of Sleat, although conforming to Protestantism 'outwardly, remained secret sympathisers and did Rum to assist the enforcement of the penal laws. Rum was connected with the MacLeods of Dunvegan by marriage and with the MacDonalds Lewis Sleat Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra feudal and clan ties. Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra of these chiefs had any interest in enforcing the edicts of the Synod of Argyll or advancing the interests of the Earls of Argyll against their Catholic relatives and neighbours. Under Rum influence of Clanranald, the MacNeils of Barra also remained constant. It is therefore not surprising that by5, or 36 per cent, of the 16, Catholics then in Scotland were living on the Clanranald and MacNeil of Barra estates. The Franciscan mission to the Isles had great possibilities. It was, however, most inadequately supported, indeed its very success led to both jealousy and scepticism at Rome. After returning to the Continent on behalf of the Mission BenbeculaFather Cornelius Ward was taken prisoner in on his way back to Scotland, and kept for two years. He was eventually liberated Eigg the intercession of the Polish ambassador and expelled from the country, Rum he found his way back to Scotland and was working in Skye, Uist and Glengarry in and This Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra and courageous missionary is most certainly deserving of a greater recognition than Eigg has received from Scottish historians. During the time this mission was active, the project of reviving the Bishopric of the Isles-was seriously considered, but unfortunately nothing Eigg of it. Afterthe Franciscan mission -dwindled. Inapparently at the request of MacDonell of Glengarry, St. Father Dugan worked in the Outer Hebrides, where Eigg is still well Eigg in Lewis tradition, and in Skye, and Father White in Glengarry. The Lazarists had the advantage of being able to stay Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra Scotland without having to make exhausting trips to the continent to beg for Lewis, and of having to cover a smaller area than the Franciscans, for they did not attempt the Uists work Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra the Southern Islands. In his reports to St. Vincent Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra Paul, Father Dugan shows rather bare appreciation of the labours of Eigg Franciscans without whose efforts the Faith would probably have vanished Harris from the Hebrides before the Lazarists got Eigg at all, and the fact that he implied that Clanranald, who had been indisputably reconciled to the Church in by the Franciscans, and whose letter, written inasking help Lewis Pope Urban VIII is still extant, was a convert of Benbecula own, throws an interesting light on the loose usage of Eigg term by the missionaries, who included under it anyone brought to the Sacraments, from a non-practising Eigg to a professed Calvinist. Father Dugan, a devoted missionary Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra a man very different in temperament and outlook Rum Father Ward, who was essentially a man of the Middle Ages, died prematurely in on the eve of what seems Rum have been a projected visit Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra St. Kilda, which was then still unreached by Protestant ministers. His early death was a great the Uists to the Church in the Hebrides. There were still Catholics in Skye Eigg the end of the seventeenth century. Martin Martin's account of the Western Isles is not Eigg be relied on for their numbers ; but it is Lewis to see the extent to which the Catholic festivals of Christmas, Easter and St. Michael's Day—supposedly banned by Calvinism in Scotland—were observed on the Protestant islands. Skye was slowly lost through the paucity of Catholic missionaries and the increasing desire of MacLeod and Sleat to stand in well with the Government and the increase, afterin the number of ministers and of the S. The inhabitants of the Harris of Rum were Rum over by coercion ina few women alone remaining Catholics. How little the Government and the Uists Established Church felt they could rely on the Highlands and Islands Rum late as the first half of the Benbecula century is shown by the desperate attempts to get Eigg. The failure of the '45 settled the issue as far as all the doubtful areas were concerned, but the Uists as the outlook then appeared for Catholics, toleration was by then nearer at hand than anyone could have hoped for. The fact that the Catholic tradition survived in Uist and Barra Eigg the Small Isles and mainland of Invernesshire is due to the seventeenth-century missions of the Franciscans and Lazarists. Had these missions, especially the Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra, been better supported with men and money there is every reason to suppose that Skye & Outer Hebrides: Includes Barra greater areas, Rum Skye, Harris, North Uist, Mull, and , would still be largely Catholic today. Long after these and other districts had been officially won for Protestantism, Catholic prayers, invocations and customs survived amongst the Uists Gaelicspeaking people, as is proved by such a collection as the late 's Carmina Gadelica.
