An Irish apostle: articulating and actualising apostolicity in the early Irish church

This thesis examines the earliest extant Latin Lives of Brigit and Patrick; Cogitosus’s Vita Brigidae and Muirchú’s Vita Patricii as evidence for a seventh-century debate on Irish apostolicity. While often dismissed as mere propaganda, this thesis shows they are highly sophisticated demonstrations of the continuing connection that Kildare and Armagh had to their patron saints and their authority. It examines the importance of this connection for concepts of ecclesiastical organisation, teaching authority and episcopal succession against the backdrop of the seventh-century Easter question in the Insular Church. This will show that apostolicity was considered to be intrinsically linked with orthodoxy and universality. A textual focus brings forth general patristic themes and ideas that Irish hagiographers evoked through specific words and phrases. The thesis contextualises hagiographical material using evidence from Hiberno-Latin and early Insular exegetical commentaries, referring to major patristic exegetes such as Origen, Jerome, Augustine, and Gregory the Great as support. The introduction discusses the importance of apostolic ideology for the seventh-century Irish Church, and outlines a methodology for examining such abstract themes. The first chapter looks at how developments in apostolic ideology led to ideas of apostolic primacy seen in the Insular material. Chapters two, three, and four examine metaphors of food and feeding, the fountain and the stream, and the head and the body, as significant articulations of apostolicity. Chapter five examines how corporeal relics were understood as the visible proof of this continuity and preserved a saint’s authority for their episcopal heirs. Chapter six looks at how Muirchú engaged with Patrick’s connection to the universal Church and his self-professed lack of disciplina to reconcile his apostolicity with seventh-century norms. Chapter seven places the issues considered thus far in a thoroughly Insular context by examining how the earliest English sources present the Irish legacy in Northumbria after the synod of Whitby. Chapter eight looks at how the text of Patrick’s Confessio in the Book of Armagh relates to a wider seventh-century campaign by Armagh to rehabilitate Patrick’s apostolicity. The conclusion briefly summarizes the thesis, and suggests further avenues for researching this topic in the Insular material

La participación de la iglesia católica en el control del espacio en medio de la creación de un país llamado Costa Rica, 1850-1920

La Iglesia católica desde que llegó al continente americano de la mano de los conquistadores y colonizadores europeos, desempeñó tareas vinculadas con el control y vigilancia de la población que aquí habitaba. Esta labor la siguió desempeñando luego de la independencia de las colonias españolas. El presente artículo pretende dilucidar cómo se estableció la colaboración brindada al estado por parte de la jerarquía del catolicismo costarricense luego de erigida la Diócesis de San José hasta el fin del obispado josefino en 1920 en las tareas de controlar, vigilar y apropiarse tanto -del espacio geográfico considerado como costarricense, como de los habitantes que residían en dichos territorios. Por ello se analizará cuáles fueron y como utilizó la jerarquía de la Iglesia católica costarricense los mecanismos de control que tenía a su disposición para alcanzar tales objetivos.Abstract This essay analyzes the collaboration of the Catholic Church with the Costa Rican State between the foundations of the Diocese of San José until 1920. lt shows how the Church helped to control, watch and take over the geographical space of Costa Rica and individual living in that land. It also studies mechanisms of control the Catholic Church carried out in this process.
