  • The Return of Franciscus de Vitoria

    Open AccessRichard O''Sullivan, Richard O’sullivan et al.ARTICLEBlackfriars1946

    In the month of June, 1946, the fourth centenary of Franciscus de Vitoria was celebrated at Salamanca before a concourse of theologians and lawyers and scholars from all parts of the world.Relatively speaking, one imagines that the name of Franciscus de Vitoria means more to the world today than it did at the date of his first or his second or his third centenary. In these last years, men of many lands, one may say men of all the lands, have come…

  • The Aquinas Society of London

    Open AccessRichard O''Sullivan, Richard O’sullivan et al.ARTICLEBlackfriars1944

    The Aquinas Society of London came into existence naturally and, so to say, insensiblement among a little group of students who had been attending the pioneer lectures on the Summa Theologica that were given some twenty years ago by Father Vincent McNabb, O.P., at St. Peter's Hut, Westminster, under the auspices of the University Extension Board. Soon after the last war Father Vincent had conceived the idea of making the doctrine of Aquinas avail…

  • The Beveridge Report

    Open AccessRichard O''Sullivan, Richard O’sullivan et al.ARTICLEBlackfriars1943

    The Beveridge Report on Social Insurance and Allied Services is in its way a portent in English politics.Though it is in form a report made by Sir William Beveridge to the Minister of Reconstruction, Sir William Jowitt, K.C., M.P., who held the rank and office of Paymaster General (and is now Minister without Portfolio), and though the Report admittedly raises matters of policy which are 'so important as to call for decision by the Government as …

  • The Sword of the Spirit

    Open AccessRichard O''Sullivan, Richard O’sullivan et al.ARTICLEBlackfriars1940

    In the month of December, 1939, His Eminence Cardinal Hinsley stirred England with a broadcast address, which he called 'The Sword of the Spirit.' The address was published and had an immense circulation. In the month of August, 1940, His Eminence inspired the Catholic laity, and, one imagines, a great part of the clergy also, by launching the movement which he likewise called 'The Sword of the Spirit.' This movement, like the addresses from whic…

  • The Mysticism of St. Thomas More

    Open AccessRichard O''Sullivan, Richard O’sullivan et al.ARTICLEBlackfriars1937

    Nec enim arbitror levioris esse operae Morum effingere quam Alexandrum magnum aut Achillem, nec illi quam hie noster immortalitate digniores erant.""For I do not think it a lighter task to paint More's likeness than those of Alexander the Great or Achilles, nor were they more worthy of immortality than this man of ours."These words of Erasmus reveal the opinion that the greatest of his contemporaries had of Thomas More. On the friendship of More …

  • The Survival of Blessed Thomas More

    Open AccessRichard O''Sullivan, Richard O’sullivan et al.ARTICLEBlackfriars1934

    One of the noteworthy features of our time is the revival of interest in the life and letters of Blessed Thomas More.These two new Lives of the Beatus are added evidence of this interest, and of its universal character. The one is by a non-Catholic Englishwoman, who is a scholar of the University of Oxford, the other is by a Catholic American, who is a member of the English Faculty at Harvard.Though there are already (we are told by Miss Routh) t…
