Download or read book Mary Ward: First Sister of Feminism written by Sydney Thorne and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The little-known story of the woman who walked 1,500 miles to Rome to challenge the pope in 1621. Four centuries ago, an Englishwoman completed an astonishing walk to Rome. A Catholic, Mary Ward had already defied the authorities in her native country. In 1621 she walked across Europe to ask the Pope to allow her to set up schools for girls. “There is no such difference between men and women that women may not do great things,” she said. But Mary’s vision of equality between men and women angered the Church, and the pope threw her into prison. Her story is not only fascinating in its own right—it also shines a refreshingly new light on the Tudor/Stuart era. Mary’s uncles are the Gunpowder Plotters. Her sponsors are archdukes, prince-archbishops, and the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. In Rome she spars with Pope Urban VIII and the Roman Inquisition, just as they are also dealing with the troublemaker Galileo. As the story sweeps from Yorkshire to Rome, from Vienna and Munich to Prague, and back to England, we see Mary dodging pirates in the Channel, witch hunts in Germany, and the plague in Italy. We see travelers crossing the Alps, and prisoners smuggling out letters written in invisible lemon juice. Ranging from the resplendent courts in Brussels and Munich to the siege of York in the English Civil War, this biography is a remarkable portrait of seventeenth-century European life.

Download or read book Early Modern Jesuits between Obedience and Conscience during the Generalate of Claudio Acquaviva (1581-1615) written by Silvia Mostaccio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Society of Jesus was founded by Ignatius Loyola on a principal of strict obedience to papal and superiors’ authorities, yet the nature of the Jesuits's work and the turbulent political circumstances in which they operated, inevitably brought them into conflict with the Catholic hierarchy. In order to better understand and contextualise the debates concerning obedience, this book examines the Jesuits of south-western Europe during the generalate of Claudio Acquaviva. Acquaviva’s thirty year generalate (1581-1615) marked a challenging time for the Jesuits, during which their very system of government was called into doubt. The need for obedience and the limits of that obedience posed a question of fundamental importance both to debates taking place within the Society, and to the definition of a collective Jesuit identity. At the same time, struggles for jurisdiction between political states and the papacy, as well as the difficulties raised by the Protestant Reformation, all called for matters to be rethought. Divided into four chapters, the book begins with an analysis of the texts and contexts in which Jesuits reflected on obedience at the turn of the seventeenth century. The three following chapters then explore the various Ignatian sources that discussed obedience, placing them within their specific contexts. In so doing the book provides fascinating insights into how the Jesuits under Acquaviva approached the concept of obedience from theological and practical standpoints.

Download or read book Philosophy, Theology and the Jesuit Tradition written by and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to do theology and philosophy in our contemporary academia? What is the notion of good life in the 21st century university? One distinctive tradition of philosophical and theological investigation has been working since early modernity to offer answers to these questions, the Society of Jesus, founded in 1540 by Ignatius of Loyola. The engaging and original contributions in this volume examine topics such as faith, science and reason, secularism, naturalism, humanism and Ignatian spirituality. The opening text outlines the vision of Jesuit education and is followed by historical analyses of sources such as St Ignatius of Loyola and Mary Ward, to show the relevance of these methodologies for other texts and practices. The contributions explore the relationship between philosophy and theology, challenge the dominant perspectives such as naturalism and secularisation, and propose a new way of thinking. This livelydiscussion engages with contemporary issues in the sphere of interreligious dialogue, bioethics, citizenship and human rights.

Download or read book The Roman Inquisition written by Thomas F. Mayer and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-01-09 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Spanish Inquisition has laid the greatest claim to both scholarly attention and the popular imagination, the Roman Inquisition, established in 1542 and a key instrument of papal authority, was more powerful, important, and long-lived. Founded by Paul III and originally aimed to eradicate Protestant heresy, it followed medieval antecedents but went beyond them by becoming a highly articulated centralized organ directly dependent on the pope. By the late sixteenth century the Roman Inquisition had developed its own distinctive procedures, legal process, and personnel, the congregation of cardinals and a professional staff. Its legal process grew out of the technique of inquisitio formulated by Innocent III in the early thirteenth century, it became the most precocious papal bureaucracy on the road to the first "absolutist" state. As Thomas F. Mayer demonstrates, the Inquisition underwent constant modification as it expanded. The new institution modeled its case management and other procedures on those of another medieval ancestor, the Roman supreme court, the Rota. With unparalleled attention to archival sources and detail, Mayer portrays a highly articulated corporate bureaucracy with the pope at its head. He profiles the Cardinal Inquisitors, including those who would play a major role in Galileo's trials, and details their social and geographical origins, their education, economic status, earlier careers in the Church, and networks of patronage. At the point this study ends, circa 1640, Pope Urban VIII had made the Roman Inquisition his personal instrument and dominated it to a degree none of his predecessors had approached.

Download or read book Spirit, Faith and Church written by Laurence Lux-Sterritt and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contradictions are legion when it comes to women and spirituality. In Christian cultures, the worth of the female sex is highly ambivalent, since virginity and motherhood are construed respectively as badges of purity and fruitfulness, whilst the biological processes which underlie them are considered taboo or impure. Throughout history, women are in turn represented as inferior, defective creatures or as privileged ‘empty vessels’ in their relationship with the divine. This polarized conception of woman has influenced the way in which religious institutions, learned writers, or indeed women themselves consider the female personal and collective relationship with the supernatural, with the divine, and with the institutions which represent it. Through eleven original essays, this volume questions how women from the English-speaking world have negotiated their roles in the spiritual and religious spheres. From early-modern Catholics and Puritan groups to twenty-first century nuns, Anglican ministers and Mormons, how did women define their roles in male-dominated institutions? How did they react to the public perceptions of their bodies as either incompatible with or facilitating access to the divine? The questions at the core of this book hinge upon the articulation between the female self (body and soul) and its experience of the preternatural, of faith, and of institutionalized groups. Are there specific forms of female spirituality and do they lead to a feminized/feminist conception of God?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the literary and artistic exploration of female friendship in various geographical contexts, spanning the centuries from the medieval period until the present. The essays address the intense female bonding in world literature as a universal human need for intimacy, sense of belonging, and purpose. The main focus is on the reevaluation of friendships between women, which have been traditionally less epitomized than those between men. The authors of this volume demonstrate how the emotional unions of women offer compelling insights to various historical and contemporary societies, helping us understand gender relations, traditions, family life, and community values.

Book excerpt: Obgleich Konversionen zum Katholizismus zu den zentralen Merkmalen der frühneuzeitlichen Geschichte gehören, wurden sie lange vernachlässigt. Der Band behandelt dieses Phänomen in systematischer und vergleichender Weise. Im Zentrum des Interesses stehen die Besonderheiten der Konversionen zum Katholizismus: Die planmäßige Konversionspolitik der Papstkirche mit ihren Institutionen und Überzeugungsstrategien; die Akzeptanz weltlicher Motive bei gleichzeitigem Streben nach wahrer Überzeugung; und die Universalität der Kirche, die nicht nur zu Konversionen von Südamerika bis Japan führte, sondern auch auf Europa zurückwirkte.

This book was released on 2023-10 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of The Oxford History of British & Irish Catholicism traces the fortunes of Catholic communities in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland across a period of great uncertainty and change. From the outset of the Civil Wars in 1641 to the Jacobite rising of 1745, Catholics in the three kingdoms were varied in their responses to tumultuous events and tantalising opportunities. The competing forces of dynamism and conservatism within these communities saw them constantly seeking to re-situate or re-imagine themselves as their relationship to the state, to Protestantism, to continental Europe, as well as the wider world beyond, changed and evolved. Consciously transnational, the volume moves away from insular conceptualisations of Catholicism and instead stresses connections with the European continent and beyond. Early chapters give broad overviews of the experience of Catholics in the period, tracking key events and important developments from 1641 to 1745. Chapters then address specific aspects of Catholicism, including empire and overseas missions, missionary activity, devotion, spirituality, trade, material culture, music, and architecture, among others, revealing a complex, rich and varied history of Catholicism in the period.

Download or read book Divided Loyalties? Pushing the Boundaries of Gender and Lay Roles in the Catholic Church, 1534-1829 written by Lisa McClain and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores changing gender and religious roles for Catholic men and women in the British Isles from Henry VIII’s break with the Catholic Church in 1534 to full emancipation in 1829. Filled with richly detailed stories, such as the suppression of Mary Ward’s Institute of English Ladies, it explores how Catholics created and tested new understandings of women’s and men’s roles in family life, ritual, religious leadership, and vocation through engaging personal narratives, letters, trial records, and other rich primary sources. Using an intersectional approach, it crafts a compelling narrative of three centuries of religious and social experimentation, adaptation, and change as traditional religious and gender norms became flexible during a period of crisis. The conclusions shed new light on the Catholic Church’s long-term, ongoing process of balancing gendered and religious authority during this period while offering insights into the debates on those topics taking place worldwide today.
