The year 1983 marked the 150th anniversary of John Keble's Assize Sermon, a sermon which Newman recognized as the beginning of the Oxford Movement. The religious revival which it signalled, though originating in a particular political challenge to the Church of England, was far-reaching in its effect. The continuity and catholic identity of Anglicanism was powerfully affirmed; sacramental worship was restored to a central place in Anglican devotion; religious orders were revived; and both in the mission field and in the slums, devoted priests laboured with new vigour and a new sense of the Church. This study of some of the major themes and personalities of the Catholic revival in Anglicanism highlights some of these aspects, and in particular, points to the close relationship between theology and sacramental spirituality which was at the heart of the movement. To recognize this central characteristic of the revival can contribute much, the book states, to the renewal of the Catholic tradition in Anglicanism today.Less

This chapter discusses the legacy of the Oxford Movement. It suggests that the significance of the movement is not exhausted by its immediate reference. This is because it was established in response to a threat to the Church of England and it was a defensive reaction aimed at protecting the Church from interference from political reformers. The movement and the Catholic revival transformed the self-understanding and self-expression of Anglicanism and they encouraged a view of the Church as a divine society striving to live by the sustaining mystery of the love and grace of God.Less

This chapter discusses new bearings in the Catholic revival in Anglicanism represented by the theological works of Charles Gore, Henry Scott Holland, and the Holy Party. They promoted and encouraged new social thought and action and a form liberal Catholicism as contained in the Essays Catholic and Critical. Despite this, the problem of change and continuity in the Christian Church and in Christian theology remained to be of central concern. This was reflected in renewed interests in John Henry Newman's Lectures on the Prophetical Office.Less

This chapter examines the influence of the Catholic revival in England during the 1830s that came from ecumenical endeavours. The Oxford Movement began as an assertion of Anglican identity and an affirmation of that identity in the continuity of the Church of England with the Church of the Fathers. John Keble's Assize Sermon in 1833 protested against the interference of secular authority with the order and church. This Tractarian position was supported by the letters of Ignatius of Antioch and the teachings of Cyprian of Carthage.Less

The Anglican Catholic Revival of the nineteenth century has been seen as an attempt to recover for the Church of England, and those churches descended from it, some of the doctrines and liturgical practices of the medieval church that were discarded at the Reformation. As a result, apologists for the Catholic Revival have tended to have a low opinion of Anglican doctrine and liturgical practice from the 1560s to the 1830s. An exception has been made for the Caroline divines and the eighteenth-century non-jurors, but no more. The teachings of the Tractarians and the innovations of the early ritualists cannot, however, be understood without a better appreciation of the nature of Anglicanism in the three centuries between the Reformation and the Oxford Movement. This chapter argues that neither Tractarianism nor ritualism burst upon a church wholly unprepared for them and that the Catholic Revival of the nineteenth century was not without precedent. It also discusses the status of Protestant establishments in England and Ireland on the eve of the Oxford Movement.Less

This chapter traces the history of the Oxford Movement and the Catholic revival in England during the 1830s. The Catholic Revival began at the University of Oxford and the movement was started by pioneers in the colleges and country parishes. The story of the pioneering slum priests of the Catholic revival is in part a story of pioneering work in response to the difficulties of the Church of England in dealing with the rapid changes in the 19th century, particularly in urban areas. It was in these urban areas where the changes in the pattern of Anglican worship began and where it was pressed to the extremes.Less

This chapter examines how Catholics involved in literary work addressed modernism—literary and theological—on their own terms, and reconciled apparently irreconcilable oppositions, allowing them to resituate Catholicism in the history of modernity. It begins by discussing the use of the Incarnation and other ideas central to Christian belief and practice to resolve the apparent standoff between Catholicism and intellectual and artistic modernity. It shows how Catholic literary culture reclaimed both the persistence of Catholicism within modernity and the obligation on the part of Catholics to seek evidence of the Incarnation in the modern world. It also considers the idea of the Catholic revival to help mediate Catholic transition to modernity, along with the ideas of individual/community, innovation/repetition, and openness/closure.Less

This chapter focuses on the suspicions and hostilities directed against the Jesuits in France during the 19th century. Founded by Ignatius of Loyola in 1540, the Society of Jesuits rapidly rose and established itself as the most famous and most controversial of the militant forces of the Catholic Revival. It was in the forefront of religious and ecclesiastical conflicts throughout the 17th century. During the early 18th century, the Jesuits were at the pinnacle of success, yet in the third quarter of the century, the order fell down. The movement was later revived by Pope Pius VII and restored its former triumphs. While the Jesuits were able to revive their organization, they were meet with escalating hostilities forcing the Jesuits to operate their activities underground or in a discreet manner. In this chapter, the three strands in the 19th-century Jesuit reputation are discussed here to understand the anti-Jesuit myth. These are the order's political image as an elite force of counter-revolution; its involvement in ecclesiastical disputes, especially between Gallicanism and Ultramontanism; and the implications in the legal disputes over the status of unauthorized religious orders.Less

Of the three men who emerged as leaders of the Oxford Movement, it was Pusey who became popularly linked with the Tractarian revival.Less

This chapter explores the significance of the revival of women’s religious orders on Anglican sexual politics. It compares the revival of the order of deaconesses with that of the sisterhoods, or nuns. Both movements utilized Victorian notions of social motherhood to enable middle-class women to expand their sphere of activity, often free from direct male authority. Deaconess’s ancient genealogy and sacral ambiguity, the unresolved question of their place in Holy Orders, meant that they grew less rapidly than the sisterhoods. It also, however, meant that they posed a much more substantial challenge to Anglican sexual metaphysics.Less

This book explores at length the French and English Catholic literary revivals of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These parallel but mostly independent movements include writers such as Charles Péguy, Paul Claudel, J. K. Huysmans, Gerard Manley Hopkins, G. K. Chesterton and Lionel Johnson. Rejecting critical approaches that tend to treat Catholic writings as exotic marginalia, the book makes extensive use of secularisation theory to confront these Catholic writings with the preoccupations of secularism and modernity. It compares individual and societal secularisation in France and England and examines how French and English Catholic writers understood and contested secular mores, ideologies and praxis, in the individual, societal and religious domains. The book also addresses the extent to which some Catholic writers succumbed to the seduction of secular instincts, even paradoxically in themes that are considered to be emblematic of Catholic literature. Its breadth will make it a useful guide for students wishing to become familiar with a wide range of such writings in France and England during this period.Less

His role and influence in the Oxford Movement is inseparable from his personal pilgrimage from the Church of England to the Church of Rome and he was known for his logical subtlety. In his Tamworth Reading Room Letters, he suggested that the heart is commonly reached not only by reason but also by the imagination.Less

This chapter examines the contribution of priest and poet John Keble to the Catholic revival in Anglicanism in England during the 1830s. Keble presented his Assize sermon in July 1833 and took national apostasy as his theme. This sermon was considered the first regular remonstrance against the measures of the infidel party. The sermon was delivered during on the occasion of the passage of the Irish Church Temporalities Bill, which sought to reorganize and rationalize the bishoprics of the Church of Ireland and their endowments. Keble and other churchmen considered the bill a sacrilegious interference with church order by the secular power.Less

This chapter examines the contribution of Bishop of Lincoln Edward King to the Catholic revival in England during the 1880s. During his stay at the University of Oxford, he was influenced by two of the leaders of the Oxford Movement, Charles Marriott and R. W. Church, who was closely allied to the Tractarians. Marriott's concern for the poor and his ability to draw out the awkward and the shy were particularly significant for influencing King. And while the character of Oxford was changing from what it had been in the heyday of the Oxford Movement, King allied himself with the Church Party and was assiduous in his religious duties. This chapter also discusses the Lincoln Judgement.Less

A major Catholic revival occurred in the Dominican Republic. In 2002, among the laity there were 47,145 lay catechists, a high number in a small Catholic population of 5 million. The national church of the Dominican Republic comes second in Latin America in terms of the percentage increase in priests from 1957 to 2008 and third in terms of the percentage increase of graduate-level seminarians during the same period. That time period indicated mostly growth in native-born additions to the priesthood or ranks of seminarians and it reflects the vitality of the lay movements of the country, especially for the Charismatic Renewal movement. What was most notable about the renewal in the Dominican Republic was, first, the ease with which the movement took hold, again showing its translatability from one culture to another. After initial resistance, especially on the part of the clergy, the movement grew quickly. Tardif acted as a cultural broker for the transnational movement in its incorporation within the Dominican church.Less

John Mason Neale (1818–1866), the famous Victorian divine, hymnologist, novelist, historian, and author of the carol ‘Good King Wenceslas’, was also noted for his interest in ecunemism. This book traces Neale’s interest in the Orthodox Church, as expressed through his historical writings, translations of Greek hymns, and novels set in the Christian East. The work is based on a wide variety of manuscript and published sources for the subject, and demonstrates how this leading light in the Anglo–Catholic revival acted as an exemplary interpreter of Byzantium and Eastern Orthodoxy to the Victorian England of his day. In the context of the present time, when East–West relations are a topical subject, Neale’s life and work provide a shining example of how two very different cultures and traditions might approach each other, with fruitful results for both.Less

This chapter explores Rossetti’s radical reading of creation in her earliest poetry as an interconnected body held together by grace in relation to Tractarianism. It discusses her membership of the Christ Church, Albany Street community, and the renewed Anglicanism, or Anglo-Catholicism, she discovered there through figures such as Edward Bouverie Pusey and William Dodsworth. It shows how her vision of a revealed and interconnected cosmos originates in Tractarianism’s promotion of a universal Catholicism founded on a unity of all things as well as its commitment to religious education for women. The chapter also focuses on Rossetti’s engagement with premillennialism and patristics, and introduces her fascination with the Second Advent and the end of time. Rossetti thought that Christ would not return, however, to an internally atomized creation. In response, she followed the Tractarian emphasis on communion and grace to envision a companionable fellowship of divine, human, and nonhuman.Less
