Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Father John Gerard: Of the Society of Jesus TO the Reverend Dr. Jessopp the amplest acknowledgements and sincerest thanks are due for the note with which the third Chapter is enriched and for the readiness with which he has allowed his store of information respecting the Norfolk recu sants to be drawn upon, even while his own work on the Walpoles had the first claim on his every leisure moment. That work I has since appeared, and a second edition of it was immediately called for. It is a perfect storehouse of facts, and a remarkable monument of untiring personal research into the original documents on which Elizabethan History must rest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Truth is stranger than fiction. And nowhere in literature is it so apparent as in this classic work, "The Autobiography of a Hunted Priest." This autobiography of a Jesuit priest in Elizabethan England is a most remarkable document and John Gerard, its author, a most remarkable priest in a time when to be a Catholic in England courted imprisonment and torture; to be a priest was treason by act of Parliament. Smuggled into England after his ordination and dumped on a Norfolk beach at night, Fr. Gerard disguised himself as a country gentleman and traveled about the country saying Mass, preaching and ministering to the faithful in secret always in constant danger. The houses in which he found shelter were frequently raided by priest hunters; priest-holes, hide-outs and hair-breadth escapes were part of his daily life. He was finally caught and imprisoned, and later removed to the infamous Tower of London where he was brutally tortured. The stirring account of his escape, by means of a rope thrown across the moat, is a daring and magnificent climax to a true story which, for sheer narrative power and interest, far exceeds any fiction. Here is an accurate and compelling picture of England when Catholics were denied their freedom to worship and endured vicious persecution and often martyrdom. But more than the story of a single priest, "The Autobiography of a Hunted Priest" epitomizes the constant struggle of all human beings through the ages to maintain their freedom. It is a book of courage and of conviction whose message is most timely for our age.

Download or read book Life of Fr John Gerard written by John Morris and published by . This book was released on 2023-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The priest who famously escaped the tower of London by a rope strung across the Tower's moat, during the tumultuous Elizabethan period. In this volume, he tells his story how he served the Catholics of England during this period of persecution. An inspiration for all Catholics. His account has been translated into English several times. This translation is by a fellow Jesuit, John Morris, published in 1871. The translation captures the English of earlier times and lends a sense of history to the account of this courageous and faith-filled priest. The account of Fr John Gerard's life as a priest on mission in England is riveting reading. This first hand account gives us a remarkable insight into the times. Fr John Morris provides many footnotes which help explain the text and the final chapters provide, in particular, Fr Gerard's defence against the accusation of being involved in the Gunpowder Plot. Other letters of his provide further insight into his character and life of a Jesuit in these dangerous times. This book provides a first-hand account of the life of a priest during the Elizabethan persecution of Catholics. He knew that capture could lead to torture and agonising death. It provides insight into the great courage and complete trust in God that marked his character. - From the Introduction, Archbishop Julian Porteous

This book was released on 2011-01-30 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wide-ranging collection of philosophical essays, the acclaimed Catholic intellectual presents his vision of Catholic thought applied in the world. In The Mind That Is Catholic, political philosopher and Catholic intellectual James V. Schall presents a retrospective collection of his academic and literary essays written in the past fifty years. In these essays, exploring topics from war to friendship, philosophy, politics, and everyday living, Schall exemplifies the Catholic mind at its best. According to Schall, the Catholic mind seeks to recognize a consistent and coherent relation between the solid things of reason and the definite facts of revelation. It seeks to understand how they belong together, each profiting from the other. It respects what can be known by faith alone, but does not exclude the intelligibility of what is revealed. In these contemplative and insightful essays, Schall shares a lifetime of study in political philosophy, a wide-ranging discipline and perhaps the most vital context in which reason and revelation meet. “Father James V. Schall is one of the few renaissance men still among us. His knowledge of various areas of reality and human endeavor is encyclopedic.” ―Kenneth Baker, S.J., editor, Homiletic & Pastoral Review
