I must have posted in an infelicitous manner. AFAIK, as of this morning, Fr. Hughes was alive and well. His memoirs were recently published, I’ll be ordering them next week.

Oh well. Then I hope he is sleeping well, but not eternally, yet.😊
 
Hey, some of your books are pretty dang dusty, Jim! One never knows if these guys are alive and kickin’ or takin’ a dirt nap? I’m just playing it safe…

Those 2 books of Hughes date from 1968 and 1970. I’d guess he was born around the early to mid 30s.

Haha YES! I was a former protestant and here I am now! I’m home! Rome sweet home! :D. How come the question doesn’t make sense to her??? That was a valid question!!! 😃 She just could not answer the question because she doesn’t know what to answer. 🙂

That there is a variety of theories as to the origin, and development of the Church in England. None conclusive.

That does not answer my question. What was the point of bringing up the Celts? So there were other origins to the Church of England. What has that got to do with whether or not the Church in England was in union with Rome?

Did the possibility of them starting from before the Augustinian mission somehow make them not in union with Rome?

Theoretically, yes, and that is what those theories posit. And historically, the Church in England did predate the Augustinian mission. As demonstrated. The question is, what happened between roughly 125 AD (or, if you accept the hard core Glastonbury-ites, maybe 37 AD) and roughly 300 AD. No one knows.

Oh I don’t see that. How can you conclude 37-AD when Constantinople didn’t exist before 300. And Constantine bought it there.

My friend I here what what your saying and I read these links. But the “truth” is there is nothing but Theory.

England was invaded by Rome in 43.

And the Druids was the way of life in this time which were Pagan

For Britain to be subjugated under the authority of Rome, the rebellious Druids had to be exterminated. The army paved the way for a flourishing Roman culture in southern England by the early second century. And Christians were being slaughtered in Rome during this period for entertainment.

Heres an decent History of the Christianity in Enland. Which sthe dates which can be “confirmed by fact” in Glastonbury, and a line of Apostolic Succession.

What can we prove and say is in fact Truth?

God Bless, Gary

This post so fails to understand what I was saying (and is off-center on history, too) that I refrain from an exercise in futility by commenting.
.
I do refer you to the post above where I said that anyone asking how I defend such things as the Glastonbury theory would be ignored. How much I know on a given subject has no relationship to what I believe on a given subject.

The early days of Christianity in the British Isles are a total mystery indeed. That is what created the speculation and myths of Joseph of Arimathea and other apostles or saints taking Christianity there. We don’t know what happened. But most historians agree that by the second century easily there was Christianity there in spades.

3rd century, better bet. But perhaps as early as, say, 150 AD, in individual cases.

I am now applying for an Edwin sabbatical.
