- Abstract:
This doctoral project will incorporate intense archival research and a thorough investigation into the lives of Patrick Riordan (1841-1914), former Archbishop of San Francisco, and George Tyrrell (1861-1909), a former Jesuit priest in the Province of England. After Pope Pius X condemned the heresy known as Modernism in 1907, Tyrrell was expelled from the Jesuits and subsequently invited by Riordan, who was accustomed to Tyrrell's writings, to reside in San Francisco. This project aims to reconstruct the story of both personalities in this dramatic period in Catholic church history by highlighting newly released archival material, spanning from coast to coast in the United States of America, England, Belgium, Paris, and Rome. The dissertation should provide new insights into the Modernist Controversy as a whole, exposing underlying thought currents of the United States and Europe from the period in question.
