Douai

Uh, because over the centuries, you'd had all sorts of, uh, the same problems that Jerome found when he was looking at Latin translations of interpolations and, and, uh, incorrect corrections to things.

And the, the, the Bible that is generally used by English-speaking Catholics today is in fact a translation of the Vulgate that was made at Rheims and Douai at the end of the 16th century, and then was subsequently revised, uh, very famously by Bishop Challoner in the 18th century.

So in other words, the, the version that we have in the Douai-Rheims is that perfect translation from the English from the Latin that, that Jerome gave us.

So that itself is a testament to the importance and the legacy of his work, uh, on behalf of the church.

But then there's also the The aspect of what we learn from all of this work.

On our left, the 3rd Brigade attacked with the 16th Battalion, Canadian-Scottish of Western Canada on the right, and the 15th Battalion, 48th Highlanders of Toronto on the left, both crossing the Triquy and then advancing, the former in the direction of Noyelles-sur-Belon and the latter in the direction of Vitry-en-Artois on the Scarpe.

where contact was established with the eighth corps which had advanced from its line easterly whereas our advance was due north the design being to cut the enemy out of the triangle formed by the triquet and the scarpe The advance was continued throughout the day, and by nightfall the 2nd Brigade had captured Armel, Estries, and Bellon, from 2,000 to 3,000 yards east, northeast, and north respectively, while the 3rd Brigade had pushed up to a line 1,000 yards south of Brebiera, only 5,000 yards southwest of Douai.

Thus, on the same day that the 2nd Canadian Division was capturing Iwi, about 15 miles to the southeast.

The 1st Canadian Division, holding 14,000 yards of front and attacking on a 12,000-yard frontage, employing only two brigades, carried its line across a watery waste and penetrated in a northerly direction 5,000 to 6,000 yards, thus threatening to cut off the enemy's retreat through Douai.

On our left, the 8th British Division had also a very successful day.

Since October 7, it had fought its way from just east of Oppie through the Fren-Rouvois line and now made a frontal attack on the Drocourt-Quillant line north of the Scarpe.

The advance ranged from 4,000 yards on the flanks to 8,000 in the center.

The Berkshires were here and gave us much material and stores, which the enemy had no time to remove or destroy.

I do not remember the words that they said.

Killed, Douai, November.

I knew John was dead.

All done and over that day long ago.

The gun was about half-way down the right-hand edge, and the curved trajectory of the shell was shown by a dotted line from the moment it left the muzzle to the moment when it entered Paris.

To a British officer to whom he was showing the picture Sammy explained at great length how the shell passed through St Quentin, Cambrai, Douai, up to one of the Channel ports, and then down again viâ Amiens until it finally arrived at its destination in Paris and exploded.

This Turkish brigadier-general believed this to be a solemn fact, and this ignorant British hearer was polite enough not to undeceive him.

Ours claimed to have been the first party formed with a view to escape, but it was not long before there were several others, and it became evident that some plan would have to be devised by which a large number might hope to make their way out of the barracks fairly simultaneously.

Since October 7, it had fought its way from just east of Oppie through the Fren-Rouvois line and now made a frontal attack on the Drocourt-Quillant line north of the Scarp, simultaneously with the turning movement of the 1st Canadian Division from the south.

The advance ranged from 4,000 yards on the flanks to 8,000 in the center.

The Berkshires were here and gave us much material and stores, which the enemy had no time to remove or destroy.

Before, se passe-t-il? Et coup? Après les actes de vandalisme? Les gestionnaires des stations-service sous pression à cause de la flambée des prix des carburants.

Ces derniers jours, au moins quatre stations-service du Nord dans la zone de Douai ont été victimes d'actes de vandalisme.

À Pékin-Cour, l'eau axée à la station Total Energies a été bloquée par de... énormes blocs de plastique.

Toutes les 10 pompes étant hors-service, dans la nuit du dimanche 13 au lundi 14 septembre, les écrans et les terminaux de paiement ont été détruits à coups de marteau, selon les sources.

À la même heure, une station Carrefour Contact et deux autres à Messigny et Guesnay ont subi le même sort.

Le procureur de Douai a ouvert une enquête sur les déviances, ciblant les enregistrements des caméras de vidéosurveillance.

Aucune arrestation n'y a encore été effectuée.

Sur l'une des pompes était écrit « voleur », une référence possible à la frustration croissante concernant les prix du carburant.

blessed edmund campion by louise imogen guinea cheney again douay fifteen seventy one interrupted sea voyages were his fate this time half-way across the channel his ship was hailed by a government frigate the hare which demanded to be shown the ship's sailing papers and the passports of her passengers campion had none moreover as his religion was suspected the dutiful protestant frygate homeward bound promptly swallowed him bag and baggage his generous friends in ireland had forced upon him money for his needs and the captain who now kidnapped him found it convenient to keep the money but kind-heartedly let his prisoner lose himself in the streets of dover other friends quickly made the losses good on campion's second attempt to reach calais all went well he did not lack his secular epitaph so to speak at court it was not then a legal crime though it soon became so for a catholic englishman to leave the country fast being made into a hell for him the mighty cecil treated this expatriation as quite voluntary and it is a very great pity he chose to say looking into richard stanihurst's gratified eyes for master campion was one of the diamonds of england the date of campion's reconciliation to the church is unknown it seems unlikely to have taken place in ireland he may have been absolved from his schism in london or else as soon as he had reached there was a busy trade in wool still flourishing at that time between flanders and england and in the thrifty kindly towns of the exporting country refugees formed a considerable part of the population dewey properly speaking dewey was called dewey by its foster children the creation of its english seminary was a master stroke of dr william allen canon of york afterwards cardinal once of oriel college oxford and principal of st mary hall indeed oxford may be said to have founded douay alan was aided by many men of mark notably by his old tutor morgan phillips and by the latter's bequeathed funds also by the flemish abbots and lay folk campion seems to have been the eighteenth arrival in the newly established house of young prayerful enthusiastic men he found there as professor of hebrew his beloved gregory martin and a learned colleague richard bristow late fellow of exeter college the first of the seminarian priests to be ordained two props and pillars of the foundation there also was thomas stapleton late fellow of new college the most able catholic controversialist of the age five of the twenty english students enrolled in fifteen seventy one joined the society of jesus the college destined to speedy and splendid development was affiliated to the douay university established some eight years before it by spanish munificence and the papal bull here then edmund campion came into his soul's haven out of the swing of the sea it was dr allen's missionary policy that all his sons before memory of them had grown dim at home should write to their more undecided friends in england doing what they could to win them to the service of christ in the church catholic campion sent a very long document to this end to his venerated and now ageing friend bishop cheyne a wonderful letter in that live elizabethan english which was bold as surgery itself yet charged with feeling associating his beliefs with cheney's as the writer does he helps us to understand his own doctrinal position while in oxford and in dublin he failed in both places writes father morris for the same reason the position was a false one for it was an effort to serve two masters and to live like a catholic and teach the catholic religion outside the pale of the catholic church there is no end or measure he now tells cheney from douay to my thinking of you and i never think of you without being horribly ashamed so often was i with you at gloucester so often in your private chamber with no one near us when i could have done this business and i did it not by this business he means confessing catholic truth and urging cheney to return to it and what is worse i have added flames to the fever by assenting and assisting and although you were superior to me in your counterfeited dignity in wealth age and learning and though i was not bound to look after the physicking or dieting of your soul yet since you were of so easy and sweet a temper as in spite of your gray hairs to admit me young as i was to familiar intercourse with you to say whatever i chose in all security and secrecy while you imparted to me your sorrows and all the calumnies of the other heretics against you and since like a father you exhorted me to walk straight and upright in the royal road to follow the steps of the church the councils and the fathers and to believe that where there was a consensus of these there could be no spot of falsehood i am very angry with myself that i neglected to you such a beautiful opportunity of recommending the faith that through false modesty or culpable negligence i did not address with boldness one who was so near to the kingdom of god but as i have no longer the occasion that i had of persuading you face to face it remains that i should send my words to you to witness my regard my care my anxiety for you known to him to whom i make my daily prayer for your salvation listen i beseech you listen to a few words you are sixty years old more or less cheney was really sixty-eight of uncertain health of weakened body the hatred of heretics the pity of catholics the talk of the people the sorrow of your friends the joke of your enemies who do you think yourself to be what do you expect what is your life wherein lies your hope in the heretics hating you so implacably and abusing you so roundly because of all heresiarchs you are the least crazy because you confess the living presence of christ on the altar and the freedom of man's will because you persecute no catholics in your diocese because you are hospitable to your townspeople and to good men because you plunder not your palace and lands as your brethren do surely these things will avail much if you return to the bosom of the church if you suffer even the smallest persecution in common with those of the household of faith or join your prayers with theirs but now whilst you are a stranger and an enemy whilst like a base deserter you fight under an alien flag it is in vain to attempt to cover your crimes with the cloak of virtues what is the use of fighting for many articles of the faith and to perish for doubting of a few he believes no one article of the faith who refuses to believe any single one in vain do you defend the religion of catholics if you hug only that which you like and cut off all that seems not right in your eyes

See, then, my dearest young scholars and friends, that we lose none of this precious time, but carry hence a plentiful and rich crop, enough to supply the public want, and to gain for ourselves the reward of dutiful sons." One of those who listened to these words was destined to become the pro-martyr of the English Continental Seminarians, Gutbert Main, a dear pupil of Campion's, who as a Devon lad had come up to Oxford and St.

John's, had first conformed to the new regulations and served as college chaplain, then awakened from his delusion and fled overseas for conscience sake, not to escape danger but to be prepared for it, in response to one of Campion's burning letters.

this letter was intercepted but its purport had reached him and decided him in the spring of fifteen seventy three camp found himself driven to a course he had not contemplated on coming to douai as he slowly saw his way he followed it to horizon beyond horizon he had many steps to take because in his thirst for perfection he had far to travel he told dr allen he wished to leave his present life go on pilgrimage in the spirit of penance to the tomb of the apostles at rome and there seek admission into the society of jesus the mediaeval orders would have less attraction for campion he was an intensely modern man Now this was a severe blow to Alan, hardly less so to others of Campion's circle.

Campion, the pride, the example, the hope of the seminary, to quit it for good, and to quit it in order to join the most recent of religious communities, one which as yet had few English members.

They were not allowed to have colleges or schools.

So that's why many Catholics went to Douai, a place called Douai or Reims in Belgium.

So they crossed the English Channel, and that's where they studied.

And there was an English college there.

It was great persecution.

And so his parents said, OK, let's do that.

And imagine how hard it would have been for the parents to send their little boy off to Douai.

There he studied.
