Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XLIII.. THE MOTHER. SUPERIOR'S LETTER. To the Editor of " The Citizen." "St. Joseph's, near SmmetUburg, December 1st, 1854. "Sir, --As numerous misrepresentations have appeared in the public prints in relation to Miss Josephine Bunkley's connection with and departure from our institution, I have, from a sense of duty, though with very great reluctance, concluded to communicate to you for publication the following statement of facts, exhibiting the exact truth of the matter. "About two years ago, Miss Bunkley, of her own accord, came here and made a spiritual retreat, that is, spent some days in meditation and prayer. She then expressed an ardent desire to become a Sister of Charity--a member of our society. As she was yet young, and a convert to the Catholic faith, she was required to take time for mature consideration, and was not received. One year after this she again applied by letter to be admitted as a candidate, and was authorised to come here on trial. She accordingly entered the novitiate, as others always do, to try her vocation, perfectly free to leave us at any hour, or on any day she might please to select, and with the express and often-repeated assurance given her by us, that she would do wrong to stay with us, unless she did so freely, and from the conviction that she was doing the will of God, and seeking her own happiness by remaining. "During the ten months that she was with us, she not only appeared happy, but constantly professed to he so, and thus continued to express herself up to the very eve of her departure. Everyone who knows anything of us at all, knows that she had only to say the word, and she could have left us without difficulty, and in a becoming manner, at any time she pleased. Many novices have...

The Testimony of an Escaped Novice From the Sisterhood of St. Joseph, Emmettsburg, Maryland, the Mother-House of the Sisters of Charity in the United States (Classic Reprint) by Josephine M. Bunkley Pdf

Excerpt from The Testimony of an Escaped Novice From the Sisterhood of St. Joseph, Emmettsburg, Maryland, the Mother-House of the Sisters of Charity in the United States The history of this book is almost as remarkable as that of its subject. Shortly after Miss Bunkley had escaped from St. Joseph's in the manner she has stated in her narrative, the Superior of that convent published a defamatory letter against her. This de cided Miss Bunkley not only to defend herself, but also to give an exhibition of convent life, as it had come under her observation, for the information and warning of her American countrymen; and, in coming to this determination, she did not act on her own judg ment only, but availed herself of the advice of judi cious friends, who believed that it was a sacred duty to the American community and the best interests of society to do so.

Roads to Rome by Jenny Franchot Pdf

The mixture of hostility and fascination with which native-born Protestants viewed the "foreign" practices of the "immigrant" church is the focus of Jenny Franchot's cultural, literary, and religious history of Protestant attitudes toward Roman Catholicism in nineteenth-century America. Franchot analyzes the effects of religious attitudes on historical ideas about America's origins and destiny. She then focuses on the popular tales of convent incarceration, with their Protestant "maidens" and lecherous, tyrannical Church superiors. Religious captivity narratives, like those of Indian captivity, were part of the ethnically, theologically, and sexually charged discourse of Protestant nativism. Discussions of Stowe, Longfellow, Hawthorne, and Lowell—writers who sympathized with "Romanism" and used its imaginative properties in their fiction—further demonstrate the profound influence of religious forces on American national character. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology.
