This lecture is presented by the Revd Prof. Paul Avis (Durham University and University of Exeter), and is followed by a response by Dr Theodora Hawksley, CJ.

1569 refers to the Northern Rebellion (or Rising of the Northern Earls), an event tied to the excommunication of Queen Elizabeth I by Pope Pius V in 1570, and arguably the decisive rupture between the Church of England and the Catholic Church in communion with the Bishop of Rome. The city, cathedral and county of Durham was at the centre of the uprising of 1569. This presentation is by Prof. Eamon Duffy (University of Cambridge, Emeritus).

Pope Pius XII’s Christmas Messages: A Dialogue in Mid-Century Catholic Social Thought

This lecture explores Pius XII’s wartime Christmas messages, offering a reading of them in the context of wider Catholic attempts to rethink social teaching in a context of crisis in 1940s. Drawing on the work of Simone Weil and Joseph Pieper, the lecture concludes with some thoughts on potential ways we might engage and develop such mid-century thought in our own context.
