Excerpt from The Archpriest Controversy, Vol. 2: Documents Relating to the Dissensions of the Roman Catholic Clergy, 1597-1602; Edited for the Royal Historical Society From the Petyt Mss. Of the Inner Temple
The motives of the Protestant Queen in setting free four priests whose lives were forfeited or in jeopardy for their allegiance to Rome, and providing them with passports that they might the more easily proceed to lay their clerical grievances at the feet of the Pope, Clement in deed as well as in name, may be variously interpreted. It cannot be assumed, however, that she was actuated solely by the design of sowing the seeds of fresh discord between the missionaries. She and her council were apparently in search of some trustworthy test to distinguish loyal and disloyal priests, and she probably hoped, as James I. At one time after her hoped, that the Pope might be induced to prohibit under censures any attempts at insurrection.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book contains transcripts and letters from English Catholics who travelled to Rome in 1602 to negotiate with Pope Clement VII, seeking his intervention to address internal disputes concerning the authority of the Archpriest George Blackwell over the mission in England. This dispute had been ongoing since Blackwell's appointment in 1598. The delegation hoped to find a resolution within the Church, which would allow them to focus on their collective mission of ministering to persecuted English Catholics. The records in this book provide unique insights into the ecclesiastical politics of the late Elizabethan period, the difficulties faced by the English mission and the desire among the priests for episcopal oversight. This book will captivate readers with its fascinating and unique perspective on one of the key moments in English Catholic history.
