"You thought perhaps when learned Campion dies, His pen must cease, his sugared tongue be still; But you forgot how loud his death it cries How far beyond the sound of tongue and quill." In 1581, a young Englishman named Henry Walpole attended the execution of the Jesuit Edmund Campion. As Campion was hung, drawn and quartered, Walpole stood close enough to be spattered with his holy blood. Though Campion's fame in England was already great, Walpole would amplify it further with a splendid, lengthy poem, which became enormously popular among English Catholics—so popular that the man who printed the book had his ears cut off as punishment. In his poem Walpole wrote: We cannot fear a mortal torment, we, This martyr's blood hath moistened all our hearts, Whose parted quarters when we chance to see We learn to play the constant Christian's parts. This was more than wordplay: Two years after Campion's death, Walpole became a priest, and was himself hung for the faith in 1595.

"Give me thy grace, good Lord, To set the world at naught;" The 16th and 17th centuries produced a number of men whose courageous faith was accompanied by prodigious learning and literary talent. Among these was St. Thomas More, who wrote poems while languishing in the Tower of London, 1534-1535. Read here are "Lewis the Lost Lover" and "Davey the Dicer", both written in the Tower of London, as well as a meditation written in the margins of More's prayer book while he was imprisoned.

Today I'm joined by Brendan Dewan, a recent graduate from Grand Valley State University in Michigan, and currently a FOCUS missionary in Ball State University, Indiana. He recently did a pilgrimage to England. He visited the sites connected to many English Martyrs of the Catholic Church, who were persecuted, tortured and executed by the English government after Henry VIII separated from the Catholic Church and established the Church of England. He shares his reflections and the things he learned in those most holy places, and we talk about St. Thomas More and St. Edmund Campion who were martyrs, and we share some thoughts about St. John Henry Newman. - Fr.

Synod At English Martyrs by English Martyrs RC Church

Fr Luke Goymour and Margaret Mary McFadyen take a look at this week's questions: With Remembrance Sunday coming up this weekend I'm wondering about soldiers going into war ‘with God on their side'. The Allies fought for ‘God and Empire' in WWI and the Germans had ‘God with us' inscribed in their belts. Whose side was God on? Where was God in all of these terrible wars?; When we are confirmed we choose a patron saint, and then the bishop greets us with that saint's name. Should we be known by our confirmation name thereafter? Monks and nuns usually add to or change their name on making profession or entering noviciate so why don't lay Christians do the same? (Especially if one hasn't been given a Christian name at birth/baptism!); My friend sometimes refers to her ‘spiritual director'. I think I want one! But what is a spiritual director? How is a spiritual director different from my parish priest? And how do I get one?!; I mainly hear the Bible during the Mass readings. I'm not quite sure how to use it at other times, besides reading it as a story? Is there a way to use it more in my prayer life besides just at Mass?; From Sam aged 6: ‘Why haven't scientists found God yet?'; I attend Our Lady of English Martyrs and sing in their choir – I'm Anglican though. I love singing and have friends in the choir. Can I participate in the Synodal process coming up? Do other Christian Denominations matter when it comes to this process?

“One that lives by other's breath, / Dieth also by his death.” In honor of the recent feast of St. Mary Magdalene, we're returning to the poetry of the English Jesuit martyr, St. Robert Southwell, whom we've featured on this podcast before. In this episode, we'll be hearing his poem “Mary Magdalene's Complaint at Christ's Death”, a meditation upon Mary Magdalene at the foot of the Cross. As an eventual martyr himself, Southwell's reflections on death here are especially powerful. First, however, we'll listen to a brief letter by Southwell, written to his cousin, on the nature and purpose of poetry. Southwell was massively influential on later writers of the English Renaissance, and this letter had much to do with that. William Shakespeare, in fact, seems to have included a response to this very letter in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Some scholars have argued, even, that the cousin to whom Southwell is writing this letter is, in fact, Shakespeare himself. You can learn more about St. Robert Southwell, his poetry, and the poetry of other English Martyrs, in episode 69 of the Catholic Culture Podcast.

Watch the video of this podcast here: » https://fatima.org/media/father-isaac-mary-relyea-covid-19-response/ All current events should be seen in the light of Our Lady's Message at Fatima. We are living this message now. A one world government is being fashioned, many of society's structures have been infiltrated, and this coronavirus situation is being used to implement many evil objectives. Catholics should learn about the End Times, but from proper Church sources. The devil has always attempted to deprive the world of the Mass. Remember the English Martyrs, the Cristeros, the Irish Mass Rocks, and the faithful Chinese suffering today. The Church is going to have to go 'underground.' Priests ought not obey false commands from bishops, but they must remain faithful to Jesus Christ and provide for the salvation of their flock's souls. We are suffering a chastisement allowed by God. Our good God wants to give the world peace, but He will only grant it once we obey Him - and that includes the proper consecration of Russia to Mary's Immaculate Heart.

This episode features two young Catholic publishers who are doing cutting-edge work to preserve and carry forward the Catholic literary legacy, building on the accomplishments of the great Catholic writers of the 20th century in particular. The first guest is Joshua Hren, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Wiseblood Books. Wiseblood's focus is on cultivating and publishing new works that maintain a high standard of literary quality and Catholic vision: featuring up-and-coming writers alongside established successes like Dana Gioia, Samuel Hazo, James Matthew Wilson, and Michael O'Brien. Besides introducing us to the Wiseblood catalogue, Joshua talks about his own fiction and non-fiction writing and his calling as an editor. He and Thomas discuss issues in Catholic fiction such the danger of a narrow preoccupation with modern neuroses, and flaunting the secular taboo of “cultural appropriation” (e.g., the idea that white authors cannot write black characters). The second guest is John Emmet Clarke, Editor-in-Chief of Cluny Media. This family business is preserving and reintroducing forgotten Catholic classics of the 20th century, bringing to the surface the submerged lineage of many of our favorite authors—republishing crucial writers like François Mauriac, Charles Peguy, and Romano Guardini. A recurring theme in both interviews is the influence of Flannery O'Connor. Wiseblood Books is, of course, named after her first novel, though that doesn't stop Thomas and Joshua from throwing some slight, friendly shade at her dominance over the discussion of 20th-century Catholic “literary” fiction. Meanwhile, John Emmet Clarke says that if she described the South she portrayed as “Christ-haunted”, the Cluny catalogue could be said to be “Flannery-O'Connor-haunted” in a reverse sense, as they publish many authors who influenced her.   Contents Joshua Hren [4:11] The upcoming Colosseum Summer Institute, a workshop for poets and fiction writers given by Josh Hren and James Matthew Wilson [9:25] The necessity of “cultural appropriation” in fiction [12:59] The mission of Wiseblood Books: “Wide-eyed for continuities of beauty and truth” [15:55] Using short-form publications to generate interest in the Catholic literary heritage [18:10] Dana Gioia's crucial support and encouragement [21:48] Michael O'Brien's writings for Wiseblood about the Apocalypse and sexual abuse [24:59] Wiseblood's newest novel: Samuel Hazo's If Nobody Calls, I'm Not Home [27:20] Wiseblood's residency program bringing promising works-in-progress to fruition [32:22] Apologia for the role of a fiction editor [42:43] Joshua's conversion and marriage story [50:41] Joshua's fiction writing: Stream-of-consciousness, poetic prose, people under pressure [1:05:30] Examining “Christ-haunted fiction” in his How to Read and Write Like a Catholic [1:13:43] The dominance of Flannery O'Connor in our awareness of 20th-c.

In 1581, a young Englishman named Henry Walpole attended the execution of the Jesuit Edmund Campion. As Campion was hung, drawn and quartered, Walpole stood close enough to be spattered with his holy blood. Though Campion's fame in England was already great, Walpole would amplify it further with a splendid, lengthy poem, which became enormously popular among English Catholics—so popular that the man who printed the book had his ears cut off as punishment. In his poem Walpole wrote: We cannot fear a mortal torment, we, This martyr's blood hath moistened all our hearts, Whose parted quarters when we chance to see We learn to play the constant Christian's parts. This was more than wordplay: Two years after Campion's death, Walpole became a priest, and was himself hung for the faith in 1595. St. Henry Walpole was not the only martyr who wrote poems. The 16th and 17th centuries produced a number of men whose courageous faith was accompanied by prodigious learning and literary talent. St. Thomas More wrote poems while languishing in the Tower of London. Another Jesuit martyr, St. Robert Southwell, powerfully influenced the later movement of “metaphysical poetry”, including the greatest Protestant poets of succeeding centuries—such as George Herbert and John Donne. The poetry of the English martyrs has been collected in an anthology called Lyra Martyrum.
