White, James, 1681-, former Jesuit Priest of the Castellanae Province

  • Person
  • 08 May 1681-

Born: 08 May 1681, Trim, County Meath
Entered: 06 March 1703, Salamanca, Spain - Castellanae Province (CAST)
Ordained: c 1713

Left Society of Jesus: 01 November 1716

◆ Francis Finegan SJ Biographical Dictionary 1598-1773
He was the son of Raphael Evers and Joan White, and he was born at Trim, May 8, 1681. He entered the Society in the Province of Castile, March 6, 1703. As he was accepted for the Society at Salamanca, he is probably identical with a James White at the Irish College, who was approved in September 1702 to pass into second-year Theology.

After 1705 there is no means of tracing his career in Spain, beyond the fact that he was ordained Priest.

In 1714 he left his Province unauthorised and went to St Germain, but was induced by the General to go to the Irish College of Poitiers. During his stay there, the General negotiated with the Provincial of Aquitaine to emply White teaching Philosophy, for which he had some aptitude (he was a nephew of James White SJ). His anxiety, however, was to get back to Ireland to help, as he alleged, his widowed mother and sister.

He left the Society in the winter of 1716/1717

25/06/1714 Anthony Knowles (at New Ross) to Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini
Fr Didacus White Evers has recently fled from Castile. Fr General has grounds for fearing he has gone to Ireland and is acting unworthily of the Society. He is to be expelled, unless as Fr General hopes, he returns to a house of the Society.

18/08/1714 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to Anthony Knowles
Fr James White is committing himself and his case to Fr General. Fr Knowles need not be anxious about his arrival or of carrying out the sentence intimated on 23 June. If he has arrived in Ireland, Knowles is to order him to return to France.
He speaks of how Ours should approach a request (such as that to Fr Hennessy) and there should be consultation with Fr Knowles, and at the same time allow him to exeercise jurisdiction as requested.
He sympathises with the current unrest for Ours and clergy in ireland, and prays that some calm may come.

18/08/1714 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to Walter Lavallin
Fr James White on Fr General’s orders recently arrived from Spain at Poitiers College. He asks that Fr lavallin would receive him with charity, and at the same time be diligently watchful over his character and way of life, and to inform Fr General from time to time.

18/08/1714 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to James White Evers (at St Germain)
He is to go to Irish College Poitiers from where he is currently staying. He will be expected there and charitably received by Fr Lavallin, according to Fr General’s instruction. He wishes Fr White to move there promptly.

29/12/1714 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to Walter Lavallin
He is pleased by Father Lavallin’s praise of Fr James White. If Fr White is of such a disposition and acharacter, he will not be troublesome to Lavallin, and while he cannot be useful, he should not be idle. So I will recommend him to Fr Knowles to use his work in teaching philosophy somewhere. In turn, I ask of you if it can be done, to please receive into the Seminaryt an Irish youth, who will be entrusted to you in my name.
Fr Knowles has rightly been advised by you concerning the defects of Fr Thomas Hennessy, who I hope will see to it, by an opportune admonition, to show himself more unassuming in future.

23/02/1715 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to Walter Lavallin
Acknowledges letter of 14 January. Le Tellier’s liberality towards Poitiers : If the Hughes money is generating an income, then I give permission for 30 gold to be received from it to complete the Chapel. If not, then you will have to wait, for I consider than nothing should be taken from the capital sum.
I hope for better things for Father White when he is applied to a determined office.
He asks him to inform Fr John Daly that jo change is to be made to what has been decreed about Masses.

04/05/1715 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to Walter Lavallin
Adresses some confusion over a sum of 30 gold from the Hughes monies to be used to finish the new Chapel. Fr General wants it clear that this money is only to come from dividends, or money belonging to Poitiers which is lying idle in Paris, and at no stage should the capital sum be touched, or indeed that proportion of monies intended for other purposes.
He advises that Fr Knowles will determine whether and in what offices Fr White should be employed,
He thanks him for agreeing to accept the youth sent to hi by Fr Hennessy.

14/03/1716 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to James White Evers
I pity you much, because as you wrote in January, your mother and sisters are so oppressed by poverty, I cannot praise highly enough your dutifulness by which you desire to help them.. However, I do not see my way at all to be able to grant what you ask to be permitted you for that purpose, while in these times everything is in confusion in those parts and the outcome of things uncertain. I shall recommend however, to Fr Superior (Knowles) to whom I am soon writing, that he himself come to their aid. He will do so, I hope, in his charity very gladly and for his means very liberally.

14/03/1716 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to Walter Lavallin
That missing letter of January has now arrived. Father Provincial has not yet written anything about the keeping of the entire interest of 1,000 livres for this house, but rather from his information, I consider that such is the state of this house, that it could without inconveninces do without that share which is failing on account of the diminution of the Hughes returns. I am writing again to him, however, that he let me know his judgement which you intimate you have heard is favourable.
Permission to expose the Blessed Sacrament on hte Feats of Our Saints cannot on any account be granted. There are other exercises in addition for which the Chapel was usefully permitted and built. At the utmonst that could be permitted and carried out on the Feast of St patrick, patron of the Irish Mission.
I have no reply to make concerning Fr Lavery after I let you know, on many other occasions, my determination.
Fr James White can on no account be allowed to go to Ireland because of the circumstances of the very unsuitable time. I shall recommend however, the poverty of his mother and sisters to Fr Knowles. Besides, I trust, that by your dexterity, he may grow strong in character and learning, apply himself to something to be directed by you.
Whether the management of your affairs in Paris should be taken away from him who has up to now conducted them and a separate Procurator established, or should be entrusted to some extern, or for those reasons whioch you wrote to me on the contrary, on 15 July last year, we must ponder much and long, and before anything is decided, we must enquire whether any extern can be found whose trustworthiness and prudence you affairs can safely be committed. Furthermore, restitution of the loss from the withdrawal of the fifth “as” should not even be attempted at this time without obtaining the assistance of Fr de Guenin.

21/03/1716 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to Anthony Knowles
Received Fr Knowles’ letter of 23 December, and though it brought me some consolation beacuse of the praise bestowed on Ours, far greater, however, is the anxiety for you which boththat letter and observation of the state of the present times aroused in me. We are disposed to hope that God will keep you under his protection.
I grant Fr James Byrne permission to receive the annual subsidy which was bequeathed to him by his late father. I desire however, that in keeping or spending the same, as far as is possible, our statutes be observed.
It is well that Simon Read will arrive. I have not yet been informed as to the reasons why Fr Ignatius Roche has been detained.
Fr Thomas Hennessy can be admitted on August 15th to the grade befitting his doctrine, for that is the earliest time in whcih he will fulfill the requisite conditions for that grade. As regards the privileges wanted by him, you can inform him that I make him a participant of all which are in my power, with that exception which I hold in order to set up Sodalities. Amongst those however, were not those set forth 3-7 -- we will try to have these obtained if possible. Besides, he will have to be advised that in order to their right use and any right to them, he ought to consult the Compendium itself of our privileges, but it will be necessary that he will remember that fact that the work of Fr Archdekin is at least under censure, and accordingly, it is not enough to trust his assertions, unless for other reasons that those which he asserts have really been granted.
On this occasion I let you know, that not only because of your venerable age, but also the circumstances of these very difficult times, it is expedient for me to have knowledge of those wuch as who can be your successor in Office. And so I ask of you, that with your Consultors, you propose candidates to me in the customary way, and see to it that Fr Lavallin does likewise with his Consultors.
Father James Le Blanc alias White junior has earnestly begged of me to be allowed to go to Ireland to relieve the very great poverty of his mother and sister. It seemed that on no account should that be allowed. I have promised, however, that I would recommend them to your charity and generosity.

13/06/1716 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to James White Evers
I do not know if the change of your present status will be so advantageous to you and yours, as perhaps you promise and imagine. Explain, however, please, the reasons for your judgement t Fr Provincial. On receiving his opinion, I will decide about what is shall have seemed right in the Lord to arrange. Meantime, I pray that you be enlightened and directed by the grace of the Holy Spirit.

13/06/1716 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to Xavier de la Grandville (Provinical of Aquitaine)
Fr James White junior in his most recent letter to me has begged for his dismissal from the Society, having stated as his reasons : besides the poverty of his mother and sister who are looking for help from him, the great distress inflicted on him by Fr Lavery, and the latter’s unbridled bad temper. It will certainly be known, at least in part to you, what you must hold concerning the reasons adduced, and what the Society must expect from that man. So, I ask you to let me know what you think of him, and whether or not you judge his dismissal should be for the greater good of the Society. He will consult with you on this matter if he obeys my will.

22/08/1716 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to Xavier de la Grandville (Provinical of Aquitaine)
Fr de la Grandville empowered to release James White from the Society.

02/10/1716 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to Walter Lavallin
You write in your letter of 26 August that more Fathers who are engaged in Ireland are not known to you, and of those whom you know, you consider none suitable for the office of Rector, I have in the meantime to know who, from reports, in the common estimation seems fit to you for that office.
The decision about Fr James White you will have already learned, or will learn from the Provincial of Aquitaine.

03/10/1716 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to Charles Lavery
Fr General acknowledges Fr Knowles’ letter of 06 July, and it is a consolation to know our affairs are still succeeding, and that circumstances have not caused additional difficulty for Ours.
I am happy that what I wrote to you about privileges has been communicated to Fr Hennessy.
Your exhortations seem to have little effect on Fr James Evers (White), and we have seen fit to decide concerning him what you will have already learned, or will know soon.

06/02/1717 Fr General Michael Angelus Tamburini to Walter Lavallin

Obituary

Kevin Smyth – former Jesuit priest (1909-1993)

Kevin studied Classics in UCD, finishing with a brilliant MA thesis on Wemer Jaeger's distinction between practical (phrone sis) and theoretical (sophia) wisdom in Aristotle's Nicomachaean Ethics. He studied philosophy in Valkenburg in Holland with the German students of the day. Even though the Jesuits had moved their philosophate to Holland because of Nazi activity in Germany, there was more than a trace of German chauvinism among Kevin's fellow-students. In his final year the coveted honour for the brighter students was to defend the Disputatio during the final year - this was in the heyday of neo-scholasticism. To the chagrin of many, Kevin was picked for this honour. Traditionally, in order to ensure a good show, those making the formal “objections” discussed the gist of what they had prepared with the defendant a few days before the great day. No such courtesy was extended to Kevin. But the objectors paid dearly for this: Kevin with brilliant distinctions and sub-distinctions stopped them in their tracks, so that the occasion became a public humiliation for them, much to the delight of the other non-Germans present. To prolong the occasion some of the professors intervened with the own 'objec tions', but although Kevin spoke with perfect courtesy, they fared... no better. This was a side of Kevin which he seldom revealed. He had a brilliant and incisive mind, but if pushed too far could reveal a lack of patience, almost an attitude of contempt - which he regretted immediately and tried hard to make amends for,

When I moved to Milltown Park in 1955 I was asked to teach the Short' course in dogmatic theology in a three-year cycle. Part of the old presentation of each 'thesis' was the Scriptural proof. Knowing that the whole world of Scripture was moving from for merly entrenched positions, I tried to make sure that I was as up to date as possible. After trying various people I finally settled on Kevin as my scriptural guide. He was a gifted guide, always avail able for consultation, invariably helpful and friendly. To this word which refers to friendship | shall return shortly.

Once he had been appointed to Milltown Park, where he had studied theology, Kevin was assigned to teach the old course of Apologetics; this included at that time an introduction to the Gospels. Here Kevin developed his own encyclopaedic knowledge of Scripture. Where he studied Hebrew I do not know, but he became an expert in it - so much so that he was Mgr Boylan's 'external examiner' for the degree in Oriental Languages in UCD The “Dead Sea Scrolls”, the writings surviving from Qumran, were discovered about this time, and Milltown Park Library was soon enriched with the official facsimile publications of the Scrolls. As well as becoming an expert on the Scrolls, Kevin translated, from the original Dutch, Fr Van Der Ploeg's book on the writings of Qumran. He worked in close cooperation with Professor Driver of Manchester University during this period, and together they combated Allegro's attempts to use the Scrolls in order to undermine the documentation for the origins of Christianity. Kevin wrote for Studies on diverse topics, but never received the publicity and recognition which his work deserved. In another Jesuit Province of that time he would have been given the opportunities he deserved for study and writing; a doctorate would have meant little to Kevin, but some recognition should have been given to him.

On the ordinary level of Jesuit community life Kevin was exemplary, deeply pastoral by inclination, which was revealed in his own pastoral work and especially when he was in charge for many years as sub-minister of “Supplies” from Milltown Park - allotting to many Dublin parishes priests to help out on Sunday. It is true to say that he was deeply respected by the Dublin dioce san clergy for his self-sacrificing willingness to help. On another level he was very proud of being a Synge Street past pupil, and he was a gifted football player, playing in Milltown Park well into his forties - even though he did this at some risk with some of his former pupils concentrating on knocking him out!

When in 1961 I was sent to Rome the excitement of the pre Vatican Il times was just beginning. During the few years that followed Kevin corresponded with me regularly, because I was collecting for him from the Italian and French newspapers any items which might throw light on intra- and extra-conciliar manoeuvers: these I sent on to him every week as he was writing a regular column for some Irish newspaper on Vatican II. But there was little personal in this correspondence. Kevin, in many ways, was a prisoner of his very academic world, in spite of his pastoral ad generous qualities. For him I think that some unforeseen suffering was needed to break open the academic armour. In some ways he was the product of the poorer elements in Jesuit formation in his time.

My last letter from him arrived to accompany investment-transfer documents which I had sent to him for his signature. In this let ter he revealed more humanity than in all the other years I had known him. He wrote: “You do not realize what a paradise you live in, with all its faults”.

Paddy Simpson who visited Kevin in Paris always stressed that “he was a much nicer fellow now”.

RYAN, ANDREW (Irish). He was born September 23, 1724; entered the Society October 3, 1741, and was teaching grammar at Tours in 1746. (Catal. Prov. Fran., 1746.)

◆ Francis Finegan SJ Biographical Dictionary 1598-1773
He was born in Munster September 24, 1724, and he entered the Society at Paris October 3, 1741.

After his Noviceship e studied Philosophy for two years at La Flèche, and was then sent in 1545 to Tours for his Regency. On September 25, 1750, he arrived in Poitiers from Tours. Here he studied Theology for the next four years at the Grand Collège* and resided at the Irish College. he was ordained Priest c 1753; At the end of his studies he made his Tertianship at Rouen, 1754-1755.

He was then appointed Professor of Philosophy at the College of Rouen, and later, Professor of Moral Theology at the College of Nevers.

On October 21, 1760, he arrived once more at Poitiers, this time on his way to the Irish Mission, but does not seem to have arrived in Ireland until the spring of the following year. No record of his missionary work in Ireland has survived.

He was summoned to Rome in 1766, and appointed Rector of the Irish College on June 11. He held that office until December 1, 1768. Some weeks previous to his departure from Rome, he had petitioned Pope Clement XIII for certain indulgences in view of his return to the Irish Mission. His name then disappears entirely from the records.

It has been suggested that he may be identical with a Father Andrew Ryan living at Tullybrackey (Bruff) in 1766, according to a census of the Catholic and Protestant populations made that year (no precise date given). This Andrew Ryan became PP of Fedamore in 17745 and died in 1814.

(Note: the name of Andrew Ryan does not appear on the list of Irish Jesuits who accepted the Brief of Suppression)

  • It is possible that Ryan finished Theology in Paris, as he is mentioned in a triennial Catalogue, 1754, as at the Collège Louis le Grand. The difficulty of locating him is increased by the fact that between 1750 and 1754 he was in Aquitaine, and then in Paris, and the yearly Catalogue (brevis) are wanting between 1752 and 1754.

DICTIONARY OF IRISH BIOGRAPHY

Mahony, Francis Sylvester (‘Father Prout’)

Contributed by
Geoghegan, Patrick M.

Mahony, Francis Sylvester (‘Father Prout’) (1804–66), priest and humorist, was born 31 December 1804 in Cork, the second son of seven sons and four daughters of Martin Mahony, a woollen manufacturer, and his second wife, Mary Mahony (née Reynolds). Educated at Clongowes Wood College, Co. Kildare, he seemed destined for a career in the priesthood and was sent to St Acheul, Amiens (1819), and then to a Jesuit seminary in Paris. From there he went to Rome to study philosophy (1823–5), before returning to Clongowes to teach. A brilliant student and scholar, he was described as being the same in his youth as he was at his death: ‘caustic, irascible, opinionated, argumentative, [but] with a sharp sense of irony and satire’ (Mannin, 137).

Within two months of his return to Clongowes he was appointed master of rhetoric, but his rapid rise was halted abruptly after an ill-fated class outing to nearby Celbridge, in the course of which both students and master drank heavily and Mahony made a loud attack on the character of Daniel O'Connell (qv). There was uproar when the inebriated class returned past curfew, and Mahony was soon transferred to the Jesuit college of Fribourg, Switzerland. He went from there to Florence, where he was expelled by the Jesuits. Though he was ordained a secular priest in 1832, it seems he had persistent doubts about his vocation, which were shared by his superiors. He returned to Ireland in 1832 to assist in the Cork mission that was treating the cholera epidemic. The conflicts in his character resurfaced, however, and in 1834 he left suddenly after a serious disagreement with the local bishop. He moved to London, where he became a journalist and writer; for the rest of his life he was independent of church authority.

In 1834 Mahony began writing for Fraser's Magazine, and, like the other distinguished contributors, adopted a pseudonym – ‘Father Prout’; he also published as ‘Don Jeremy Savonarola’. Mahony had known a real Father Prout – Daniel Prout (qv), the parish priest of Watergrasshill, in his childhood – but in all other respects the character was the creation of his imagination. He invented biographical details and even a biographer; The reliques of Father Prout was published in 1837. His writing at this time was sharp and acerbic, and often brilliant: Thomas Moore (qv) was accused of plagiarism, O'Connell was regularly abused, and Prout won a wide readership. After a while Mahony's inspiration faded, and he moved to the staff of Charles Dickens's Bentley's Magazine. Conviviality was never Mahony's problem, but it seems alcoholism was, and in the engravings of the literary dinners, Thackeray, Coleridge and Carlyle are each shown with a glass of wine, whereas he is shown with three.

Deciding to travel on the Continent in 1837, from then on he lived abroad. He was Rome correspondent for the Daily News (1846–58), and Paris correspondent for the Globe from 1858 until his death. His health failed in the early 1860s and he became lonely and irritable. He burned his papers in his final days, and died 18 May 1866 at Paris. His body was brought back to Cork and he was buried in the vault of Shandon church. After his death he was remembered chiefly for ‘The bells of Shandon’, a nostalgic poem about Cork that may have been written when he was at Clongowes. It was the least of his works, but it achieved an enduring fame and became a popular song. Mahony was an erratic character, and his writing, sometimes spectacular, sometimes mediocre, reflected this.
