The English Catholic History Association have launched a series of podcasts which are available in the iTunes Store.   By subscribing to this free podcast you will be able to download the talks to a media player of your choice.  In the forthcoming months they will be sending each talk to the podcast on a weekly basis.

The current podcast is described below and  they all can be found by following this link.

Recusant Liturgy by Michael Hodgetts

Michael Hodgetts reviews the 300 years of liturgical practice of Catholics under penal conditions in England from the mid 1500s to early Victorian times. Music, missals, primers, chapel architecture and decoration, official and unofficial records of one sort or another, contribute to our knowledge of the quite elaborate rites that took place in wealthy country houses, despite unfavourable circumstances. We also get an impression of the secrecy and isolation under which priests laboured in order to bring the sacraments to Catholics in towns and villages.

Botthian and Amphian, De La Salle Brothers in Australia 1864-1867

Apphian, Bothian

Sylvia brought this book by Brother Rory to my attention.

From the jacket:

The establishment of a De La Salle Bothers’ school in Perth [Australia] in the 1860s was part of the missionary thrust by the Catholic Church throughout the world during that century. It also coincided with the influx of religious congregations of men and women to Australia which established a system of education, health and social services that continues to the present day.

This study tells the story of two men who left Europe for a better life in America. There they became Brothers of the Christian Schools and set out to establish and conduct good schools in India and South East Asia. Eventually they arrived in Australia where they became pioneers of Catholic secondary education for boys in the colony of Western Australia. Using extensive archival resources, the study investigates the product of personality, prayer and partnership in moulding men and institutions; some of which were highly successful.

Sylvia’s comments:

There are lots of illustrations; some family background of Br. Bothiam, a German, and Br Amphian, an Irishman; background history of the era and the trials of being ahead of their time in education in developing recognizably modern and enlightened methods. There are 344 pages.

Birmingham, burial

A short booklet by J M Wall produced in partnership with The Coffin Works and the Jewelry Quarter Research Trust. It describes the problems with urban burial and the solution. The booklet is focused on Birmingham but is relevant to all I think. You can view the booklet via this link.
