Summer reading: Vermeer’s Angel

A publisher, an editor, a novelist and an academic comment on a Catholic novel just released.

Summary:

Vermeer’s Angel is Fr de Malleray’s brilliant debut novel in an intriguing genre that could accurately be called ‘Vatican Noir’. The author’s detailed knowledge of the ecclesiastical backdrop and the artistic foreground make for a convincing ‘high resolution’ world in which ambition, morality, psychology, espionage and high drama intersect.

Pierpaolo Finaldi, Master of the Keys – The Catholic Writers Guild (UK). Pierpaolo Finaldi is also the CEO of The Catholic Truth Society.

A remarkable novel, a tale of Ostpolitik set in expertly orchestrated scenes alternating between the aftermath of Hiroshima and the collapse of Eastern European communism. Ingeniously interweaving the various strands of his fiction with real history, Japanese culture, Vatican diplomacy, Kim Philby’s Soviet spy ring, and a penetrating analysis of art that makes painting come alive, this is not only a culturally sophisticated narrative, but a gripping read, full of human interest.

Robert Asch, St Austin Review.

Writer, literary critic, and scholar, Robert Asch is co-editor of the St Austin Review and of the St Austin Press.

Armand de Malleray’s stunning prose draws the reader into a world of intrigue and uncertainty where nothing is quite as it seems. This is more than just a novel, it is a haunting meditation on the significance of memory, identity, betrayal, guilt and the insatiable human yearning for the Truth.

Fiorella De Maria, author of The Father Gabriel Mysteries

Award-winning novelist De Maria studied Literature in Cambridge and has published nine books with Ignatius Press.

Vermeer’s Angel is a triumph of a novel. It is a startlingly broad canvas that crosses several continents, cultures and decades, unfolding for the reader subtle readings of both artistic masterpieces and men’s souls. It is a novel about the loss of the self, caused by the atomic blast of modernity and the lingering radiation of older ills. It is a novel about memory and about self-betrayal, suffused with a gentle but persistent sense of the need to recover spiritual responsibility in a world of pragmatic compromise.

Brian Sudlow, author of Catholic Literature and Secularisation in France and England (Manchester University Press)

Dr Brian Sudlow teaches at Aston University (Birmingham, UK) and has written extensively about Catholic literature and Catholic thought in France and England.

Published by Arouca Press, 2023.

Vermeer’s Angel is available on the publisher’s website and on Amazon, including for UK customers, whose copy will be printed in the UK and shipped nationwide without custom taxes.

It is also for sale on the Latin Mass Society‘s bookshop.

Size: 23 × 15 × 2.5 cm

390 pages

Paperback £17.50 GBP ; $22.95 USD

Happy 35th anniversary FSSP

Today, 18 July 2023, is the 35th anniversary of the foundation of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter by a dozen priests at the Abbey of Hauterive in Switzerland on 18 July 1988.

Schedule at St Mary’s Shrine on Tuesday 18 July 2023:

35^th anniversary of Foundation of FSSP in Switzerland; St. Camillus de Lellis, Confessor:

• 12:10pm Holy Mass
• 5:00pm Vespers
• 6:00pm Holy Mass

Act of Foundation

Published 18 July 1988

[Original: French]

By this act the undersigned clerics found the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter as a clerical Society of Apostolic Life, in conformity with the dispositions of CIC (can. 731-46), taking into consideration the exemption foreseen in the Protocol of 5 May 1988 and the Motu proprio Ecclesia Dei adflicta of 2 July 1988.  This society can associate lay brothers to its work.

The Constitutions, which will specify the goals and the spirituality of this society, are inspired by the approved statutes of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X, the society reserving to itself the right to make any changes which it judges necessary by reason of present circumstances.

The undersigned respectfully request the Holy See to approve the said society in the shortest delay possible in order that they may act effectively for the unity and the good of the Church.

Made at Hauterive on 18 July 1988.

Dowry Magazine, Summer issue now online. Read about Humility Month, Seminary Chapel, Coronation of King, Pugin in Tasmania, Catholic novel, and more.

In this issue:

Editorial: Why June is Humility Month

Fr de Malleray considers that the month of the Sacred Heart is also that of the Holy Eucharist with Corpus Christi. The example of St Francis of Assisi whose humility is universally acknowledged shows a little spoken-off connection between the saint and the Holy Eucharist.

Prayerful Pro-Life Witness

Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, the courageous young woman who was arrested for praying silently outside an abortuary, explains why bearing witness to life is part of the Gospel. She invites all to the March for Life in London on 2 September.

English Architect and Irish Pews in Bavaria

English seminarian David rejoices at the beautiful improvements to the community chapel at the International Seminary of St Peter in Bavaria, enhanced by unexpected contributions from the British Isles.

On the Coronation of King Charles III

Homily from Warrington on the day of Coronation, giving thanks for the Christian rite of coronation, a powerful reminder of the Christian identity of the the United Kingdom. The ritual calls for conforming the life of sovereign and people to the sweet law of Christ, King of kings.

Pugin at the Far End of the World

Brian Andrews, Heritage Officer for the Diocese of Hobart, explains A.W.N. Pugin’s influence as far as Tasmania, illustrated by stunning pictures that bear witness to the global influence of the great Catholic convert architect.

Traditional Ministry in Australia

Fr Roger Gilbride, FSSP, formerly in England, recalls the humble beginning of the FSSP in Australia until its upgrade to a fully-fledged district.

Vermeer’s Angel, a New Catholic Novel

Four representatives of the world of letters comment on a Catholic novel just released: a Catholic publisher, a literary review editor, a novelist and a university lecturer took pleasure in reading a story where friendship, religion, the fine arts, and ideology intertwine against a Cold War backdrop. In the Church under attack, the worst infiltration is sin. Safety then will start with repentance.

Our Lady Helps Build the Village

Building up a vibrant Catholic sanctuary is more needed than ever in our uncertain times. Not for the first time over the past 5 years, divine Providence has helped the Priory Campaign in Warrington. The versatile Shrine hall was recently blessed by the Archbishop of Liverpool, but help is still needed for completion of work. Visit our new fundraising webpage: https://www.lifefunder.com/fsspwarrington.

Support our Apostolate

As the FSSP expands across the British Isles, assistance in many ways is requested, while a broad range of media is offered to all to strengthen their faith and evangelise. 

COMING VERY SOON: please tell young ladies now about this unique opportunity. Surely not only young men wish to hear how to discern God’s calling.

Young ladies from anywhere in the UK, come forward! This is no sign-up for convent, but a presentation of what religious life entails and why it is worth looking into.

PRIORY CAMPAIGN: NEW page https://fssp.org.uk/warrington/priory-campaign/

Share this with friends and acquaintances

Help us complete the conversion work for 

• 1) a versatile Shrine hall sitting 218 guests and pilgrims (Middle Floor); 
• 2) classrooms, repository and admin space (Ground Floor); 
• 3) twelve bedrooms for pilgrims, visiting seminarians and priests (Top Floor). 

Before lockdown we did raise £1M to buy and convert this property, next door to our beautiful church. But costs have soared since Covid. With us, invest in re-evangelising England. 

This is how:

• → We are a traditional Catholic hub in Great-Britain with 500 visits per week;
• → In full communion with the Church;
• → Described in the national press as a “Nazareth in Lancashire“;
• → With several FSSP priests serving God and souls full time;
• → Daily traditional Mass and confessions;

• → Teaching the faith to children (home-schooling group, St Mary’s Academy) and adults (Men and Ladies’ groups, Juventutem youth group, converts classes);
• → Daily homilies livestreamed;
• → Sustained pro-life involvement (LifeSiteNews; SPUC, Good Counsel Network, March for Life UK);

[Please note, the video above was recorded before the Covid crisis but the pastoral aim of the Priory Campaign remains.]

• → Quarterly magazine Dowry to spread the faith and other publications;
• → St Mary’s Academy to help our children become saints; on the very spot where the nuns of the Venerable Elizabeth Prout (foundress of the female branch of the Passionists) taught children for decades;
• → First priestly ordinations in the traditional form in England and yearly Confirmations by local Archbishop;
• → Best stability: St Mary’s Shrine is so far in England the only place of its kind legally owned by a traditional order; and the FSSP has a special decree from the Pope to use the traditional liturgy for all the sacraments. 

God bless you.

Pray for: Michael Ibbotson, Catherine Sibert; Terry Drury, Michelle Brazier-Huelsman, James H., Bill Conder, Greta Doyle, Dorothea Wallace, M. Hawley; Theresa Reynard.
