Although mostly Italian, these Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church h a ve included from every nation in La tin Christendom a n unbroken succession O f men genera lly distinguished for personal virtues and intellectual merit,men also Of exalted birth o r high position . In this brilliant and unique series o f Papal Cabinets, o ur o w n country takes a prominent place,though only one E nglish Prince of the Church has ever attained the Supreme and Sovereign Po ntifi ca te itself. Cardinal Pullen . THE first na me upon o ur historic list is th a t Of ROBERT PULLE N,whose surname is spelt in various ways by historians. The date Of his creation is uncertain , but probably be was raised to the C a rdinalate by ’ 2 ENG LAN D S CARDI NALS . Pope Celestine I I . in A.D . 1 1 43. Pullen ha d ta ught theology and philosophy with distinction at both Pa ris a nd Oxford , afterwa rds becoming Archdeacon o f Rochester . Among his pupils were the future Pope,Blessed Eugenius I II ., a nd the famous John Of Salisbury,while St . Bern a rd w a s his life -long friend . Our first English C a rdinal is stated to h a ve virtua lly laid the foundations o f Oxford University upon the lines of the new methods he had witnessed in Paris . Anyhow he was among the very first Masters to teach at o ur Alma M a ter . App a rently summoned to Rome by I nnocent I I ., he settled in the Eterna l City for the remainder of his life : Pope Lucius I I . ma de him Chancellor o f the Apostolic See .

No w , curiously a nd somewh a t provokingly, second in point O f crea tion upon our list comes the only Englishman among those 2 57 successors of Blessed Peter, Prince O f the Apostles , who a cross nineteen ’ ENGLAND S CARD INALS . centuries have held the Petrine Keys and exercised ’ the P n vilegiumPetr i. This was NICHOLA S BREAKS PE AR ,whose life -story is exceedingly remarkable : he appears to have been born at Abbot ’ s Langley in Hertfordshire a mid obscure poverty . His father became a lay- brother ’ at the great Benedictine Abbey Of St . Alban s ,where Nicholas himself was no doubt educated and after wards e ngaged in some menial occupation however, for reasons u n kn own ,he was refused admittance into the monastic novitiate there . In disappointment and destitution this adventurous young Englishman managed to reach France and the “ future University Of Paris, where he studied for several years . Thence he migrated to Arles and frequented its schools as an a l umnus , if not a ctu a lly a member,of the Premonstra tensia n Order. Later o n o ur poor schola r entered the Augustinian Abbey — of Ca nons Regular a t St. Rufus near Avignon a t first as a lay-brother : eventually he was here admitted as a novice and in due course professed a monk . Breakspear must have been a man o findustrious genius as well as marked personality,fo r henceforth his promotion was rapid . In A.D . 1 1 37,he became Abbot of St. Rufus, a nd his strictness in enforcing discipline led to pers o nal appeals from the relaxed monks and himself to Rome . These in turn led to a most surprising sequel for Pope Eugenius II I .,discerning his virtues and a bility, retained our English Abbot at the Papal Court ,and D 6 forthwith,in A. —1 1 4 ,actually created him Cardinal Bishop of Alba no the highest honour in his gift . He may ha ve a ccompanied Bl . Eugenius to France when the latter gave the Cross to King Louis V I I . before the s econd Crusade ; anyhow, during the next six years he would have been doubtless busily occupied zn cun a . ’ LIBRARY ST.

Afterwa rds ,in the year 1 1 52 ,this Cistercian Pontiff appointed Cardinal B reakspear Legate -Apostolic to Scandi n avia, in order to reorganize its H ierarchy, and in respo n se to Royal requests . On his way north , Breakspear visited England ,and was thus the first English C a r d in a l to set foot o n his native l and . H is Legatine Mission was very successful , and led to the closer connection o f Scandinavia with Rome . The Cardinal , after pacifying civil strife , selected Trondhjem as the seat Of the desired Norwegian Arch bishopric, and transferred the Bishop Of Stavanger to that See as Metropolitan . Included in its jurisdiction were I celand , Greenland , the Faroes , the Orkneys a nd Shetl a nds , the Hebrides , and even the Isle of Man ,in addition to Norway itself. C a rdinal B reakspear also completely reformed and reorganized the Norwegian Church ,and moreover secured several enactments for the national wea l in consequence his memory has ever been cherished by the Norse people. This diplomatic Papal Legate then visited Sweden but,owing to internal rivalries , the erection Of its Archiepiscopal See had to be postpon ed . Thence he journeyed to D enmark ,and appeased the Archbishop o f Lund (from whose province Norway had been detached) by confirming him in his Primacy o f all Scandinavia,with the addition of new privileges .

  • Vita a and Called the Previously Known Life of St
    01 Introduction , Germany Life of Lord Norbert, Archbishop of Magdeburg “Vita-A” Translated and Edited by Fr. Theodore J. Antry, O. Praem.[1] Introduction: In 1853 Roger Wilmans discovered in the Royal Library in Berlin, in a 14th century manuscript[2] originating in the former Norbertine Abbey of St. Peter in Brandenburg, a life of St. Norbert which was hitherto unknown. Three years later, in 1856, this Vita was published in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica series.[3] Wilmans believed that this Vita which he discovered predated the Vita which was already known and which was published by the Bollandists in the Acta Sanctorum.[4] He therefore named his discovery Vita A and called the previously known Life of St. Norbert Vita B. Until 1972, when a fragment of a manuscript[5] in Hamburg was identified as a section of Vita A, Wilmans' discovery remained the only copy of this Life of St. Norbert and it remains to this day the only complete edition. The identification of the Hamburg fragment, however, informs us of the fact that there was at least one other copy of Vita A in existence. This fragment also dates from the 14th century. It is slightly damaged since it had been used for binding a book. The following translation is based upon the 1856 edition of Roger Wilmans as found in the Monumenta series. For information on Vita A and its interpretation, I have relied on the Introduction to the Vita Norberti A[6] written by Father W. M. Grauwen, O. Praem. of Postel. This Introduction has been translated into English by Father O.

  • York Clergy Ordinations 1510-1519 216
    YORK CLERGY ORDINATIONS 1510-1519 compiled by Claire Cross Borthwick List and Index 31 2002 © University of York, 2002 ISBN 0-903857-87-1 CONTENTS Introduction Abbreviations vii Alphabetical Register of Ordinands 1510-1519 Table of York Clergy Ordinations 1510-1519 216 Index 226 INTRODUCTION With a peak of 260 priests in 1510, way below the unprecedented figure of 446 regulars and seculars admitted to the priesthood in 1508, the number of men presenting themselves for ordination in the diocese of York from 1510 to 1519 never matched the level attained earlier in the sixteenth century. Though the annual total fluctuated between 260 and 184, there were only two years when it is known to have dipped below 200, and for the decade as a whole the region generated more than 2,200 new priests. Taking account the gap in the records, this produces an annual average of around 220 priests of whom about 40 were regulars and 180 seculars. Suffragan bishops conducted six ordination ceremonies virtually every year with around 150 acolytes, subdeacons, deacons and priests consecrated on each occasion, the candidates sometimes exceeding 200. All this suggests that ordinations had reached a steady state in this decade and provides few signs of any substantial decline. The situation at York parallels that of English dioceses of a similar size. At 172 the average annual total of secular priests being ordained in the diocese of Lincoln during Atwater's episcopate from 1515 to 1520 was almost identical with that at York. During Blythe's twenty-seven year tenure of the see of Coventry and Lichfield an average of 167 seculars were admitted to priest's orders each year.
