The Relationship between Father John Morris, S.J. and the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  16 September 2015

Extract

The common ground trodden by Father John Morris of the Society of Jesus and members of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary was at first a shared interest in the acts of the English martyrs. This widened to a study of the history of the Institute and Father Morris’s involvement in its current problems—the removal of the Church’s three-century old ban, the vexed question of Mary Ward’s title of foundress, the desirability of union of all the members, and the drawing up of the constitutions acceptable to all. These intellectual explorations and their practical application led him to the Bar Convent in York, to Haverstock Hill and Ascot in the south, and to Nymphenburg, Altötting and Augsburg in Germany.
