The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism
The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism by Herbert Thurston is the result of the author's tireless study of a wide range of psychic phenomena, including, levitation, stigmata, telekinesis, luminous phenomena, inedia (living without food), and more.
The Gunpowder Plot
In the half century he lived at the Jesuit house in Farm Street (spending his days in the British Library), Herbert Thurston gained a reputation for exacting and severe scholarship in a wide range of mostly historical subjects. His largest project was a wholesale revision of Butler's Lives of the Saints. He was especially concerned not to allow religious zeal or wishful thinking to overshadow historical facts; these, he was confident, would make the Church's case without any need for special pleading. CTS, in 1897, had published a pamphlet on the Gunpowder Plot by Thurston's Jesuit confr�re John Gerard; this claimed the Plot had been from the start set up by government agents to discredit Catholics. Thurston, and others, reckoned this unfounded and fanciful. Thurston's text is notionally based on Gerard's, but silently discards his wilder theories. It is an excellent example of Thurston's dry, copious and learned style.
The Gunpowder Plot
In "The Gunpowder Plot" Herbert Thurston puts the case that the conspiracy was confined to a small group of people who acted without the support of the wider Catholic family and he seeks to exonerate the Jesuit priesthood from giving any succour whatsoever to the intrigue: "It is frequently asserted by certain writers that the Gunpowder Plot was the work of Catholics as a body, and was approved and countenanced by the heads of their Church, and by Catholic princes abroad ... This is quite untrue ...it appears to be certain that thirteen turbulent men alone were found to have been engaged in the conspiracy ... it is a mere calumny to charge their guilt upon their fellow Catholics at home or abroad, who vehemently condemned and repudiated the crime ..." First published by The Catholic Truth Society in 1929, this new edition, with reset test, has had a number of appropriate illustrations added.
