BISHOP TRIED:
http://the-american-catholic.com/2016/07/10/benjamin-franklin-and-the-first-american-bishop/
Michael Paterson-Seymour on Monday, July 11, A.D. 2016 at 12:40pm
“the last priest in England to be tried, twice, for saying Mass (each time he was acquitted due to lack of evidence)”
The last prosecution in Scotland for being a priest was of Bishop Hugh MacDonald, Apostolic Visitor of the Highland District. He was tried before the High Court of Justiciary on the 5th of January 1756.
The indictment bore that “That the panel was held and repute to be a Jesuit, priest, or trafficking Papist, or had changed his name and surname ; and that these, or part of them, together with his refusing to purge himself of Popery, by taking the formula prescribed by and annexed to the Act, 3 Sess. 8. and 9. Parl. 1, King William III, when it should be tendered to him by any of the Lords of Justiciary, being found proven by the verdict of an assize, he ought to be banished forth of this realm, with certification that if ever he return thereto, being still a Papist, he shall be punished with the pain of death”
His real offence, in the eyes of government was blessing the Jacobite standard, when Prince Charles Edward raised it at Glenfinnan on 19 August 1745.
Duly convicted and banished, he ignored the sentence and continued to discharge his duties until his death on 12 March 1773. Government knew well where he was, but winked at it.
KNOTS: Unraveling Life’s Knots (Edited)
by Friar Jeremy Harrington, OFM. In 1612, German nobles Wolfgang and Sophie Imoff, after some years of marriage, were on the verge of a divorce. Four times, Wolfgang went to a nearby town to implore the help of a saintly Jesuit, Father Jakob Rem. Each time, they prayed together and asked for help from the Blessed Mother. On the last visit, Wolfgang handed the priest the couple’s wedding ribbon, which was used to bind the arms of the bride and groom as a symbol of their union until death. The ribbons were traditionally multicolored and knotted tightly. Before an image of Mary, Father Rem held up the ribbon and, one by one, untied the knots. When he smoothed it out, it became bright white. They were astounded by what they saw. Sophie and Wolfgang were reconciled.
Around 1700, Wolfgang’s grandson, a priest, commissioned Johann Schmidtner to do a painting for a family altar. It showed Mary standing on a crescent moon surrounded by angels. The Holy Spirit was above her in the form of a dove with her foot crushing the head of the serpent. The Blessed Mother is untying the knots in the ribbon of married life. The reference to Mary untying knots goes back to St. Irenaeus in the second century: “The knot of Eve’s disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary.”
