| Publisher Description: In 1598, Jesuit missions in Ireland, Scotland, and England were either suspended, undermanned, or under attack. With the Elizabethan government's collusion, secular clerics hostile to Robert Persons and his tactics campaigned in Rome for the Society's removal from the administration of continental English seminaries and from the mission itself. Continental Jesuits alarmed by the English mission's idiosyncratic status within the Society, sought to restrict the mission's privileges and curb its independence. Meanwhile the succession of Queen Elizabeth I, the subject that dared not speak its name, had become a more pressing concern. One candidate, King James VI of Scotland, courted Catholic support with promises of conversion. His peaceful accession in 1603 raised expectations, but as the royal promises went unfulfilled, anger replaced hope. |
