This book reconstructs the efforts that were made to establish a
missionary network between the two Irish Colleges of Rome, Ireland,
and the West Indies during the seventeenth century. It analyses the
process which brought the Irish clergy to establish two dedicated
colleges in the epicenter of early modern Catholicism and to
develop a series of missionary initiatives in the English islands
of the West Indies. During a period of great political change in
Ireland, continental Europe and the Atlantic region, the book
traces how and through which key figures and institutions this
clerical channel was established, while at the same time
identifying the main obstacles to its development.
This book explores the endeavors and activities of one of the most
prominent early modern Irishmen in exile, the Franciscan Luke
Wadding. Born in Ireland, educated in the Iberian Peninsula,
Wadding arrived in Rome in 1618, where he would die in 1657. In the
"Eternal City," the Franciscan emerged as an outstanding
theologian, a learned scholar, a diplomat, and a college founder.
This innovative collection of chapters brings together a group of
international scholars who provide a ground-breaking analysis of
the many cultural, political, and religious facets of Wadding's
life. They illustrate the challenges and changes faced by an
Irishman who emerged as one of the most outstanding global figures
of the Catholic Reformation. The volume will attract scholars of
the early modern period, early modern Catholicism, and Irish
emigration.
This book investigates and assesses how and to what extent the
French Catholic missionaries carried out their evangelical activity
amid the natives of Acadia/Nova Scotia from the mid-seventeenth
century until 1755, the year of the Great Deportation of the
Acadians. It provides a new understanding of the role played by the
French missionaries in the most peripheral and less populated area
of Canada during the colonial period. The decision to focus on this
period is dictated by the need to investigate how and to which
extent the French missionaries sought to carry out their activity
within a contested territory which was exposed to the pressures
coming out of both French and British imperial interests.

Roman Sources for the History of American Catholicism, 1763-1939 is
a comprehensive reference volume, researched and compiled by Matteo
Binasco, that introduces readers to the rich content of Roman
archives and their vast potential for U.S. Catholic history in
particular. In 2014, the University of Notre Dame's Cushwa Center
for the Study of American Catholicism hosted a seminar in Rome that
examined transatlantic approaches to U.S. Catholic history and
encouraged the use of the Vatican Secret Archives and other Roman
repositories by today's historians. Participants recognized the
need for an English-language guide to archival sources throughout
Rome that would enrich individual research projects and the field
at large. This volume responds to that need. Binasco offers a
groundbreaking description of materials relevant to U.S. Catholic
history in fifty-nine archives and libraries of Rome. Detailed
profiles describe each repository and its holdings relevant to
American Catholic studies. A historical introduction by Luca
Codignola and Matteo Sanfilippo reviews the intricate web of
relations linking the Holy See and the American Catholic Church
since the Treaty of Paris of 1763. Roman sources have become
crucial in understanding the formation and development of the
Catholic Church in America, and their importance will continue to
grow. This timely source will meet the needs of a ready and
receptive audience, which will include scholars of U.S. religious
history and American Catholicism as well as Americanist scholars
conducting research in Roman archives.

This book builds upon research on the role of Catholicism in
creating and strengthening a global Irish identity, complementing
existing scholarship by adding a 'Roman perspective'. It assesses
the direct agency of the Holy See, its role in the Irish collective
imagination, and the extent and limitations of Irish influence over
the Holy See's policies and decisions. Revealing the centrality of
the Holy See in the development of a series of missionary
connections across the Atlantic world and Rome, the chapters in
this collection consider the formation, causes and consequences of
these networks both in Ireland and abroad. The book offers a long
duree perspective, covering both the early modern and modern
periods, to show how Irish Catholicism expanded across continental
Europe and over the Atlantic across three centuries. It also offers
new insights into the history of Irish migration, exploring the
position of the Irish Catholic clergy in Atlantic communities of
Irish migrants.
