Ullathorne's The Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God (1904): Doctrinal Eclecticism, Pastoral Implications

Roberts, Christopher

Abstract Details

2020, Licentiate in Sacred Theology (S.T.L.), University of Dayton, International Marian Research Institute.
William Bernard Ullathorne, a Benedictine monk and Archbishop of Birmingham, England, first published his book, The Immaculate Conception of the Mother of God, in 1855, as a pastoral work that was praised by Saint John Henry Newman. Republished posthumously in 1904, his book argued for the continuity of the doctrine from the early Church about God's eternal plan to preserve Mary from original sin. While holding to an archaic understanding of original sin's transmission through the sinful flesh of the parents, Ullathorne thought that bishops upheld Mary's Immaculate Conception better than theologians because bishops relied more on revelation. Ullathorne's work illustrates one way that nineteenth century Catholicism in England argued against increasing secularism.
