À York, en Angleterre, l’an 1642, les bienheureux Jean Lockwood et Édouard
Catherick, prêtres et martyrs, sous le roi Charles Ier. Le premier, âgé de
quatre-vingt-sept ans, qui avait déjà échappé deux fois à la peine capitale,
fut derechef condamné à mort en raison de son sacerdoce. Il voulut précéder à
la potence son compagnon plus jeune et troublé, pour lui communiquer le courage
du martyre.

Bienheureux Edouard
Catherick, martyr
Natif de Carlton, près de
Richmond dans le Yorshire, il fit ses études à Douai et exerça son ministère de
prêtre missionnaire en Angleterre à partir de 1635. Il fut exécuté à York en
1642.
Edward
Catherick
+1642
La notice présente est
intitulée à Edward, comme dans le Martyrologe, bien qu’apparemment ce
prêtre s’appelât Edmund.
Edmund était probablement né
dans le Lancashire (Angleterre), dans la vieille famille des Catherick de
Carlton et Stanwick (Yorkshire nord), une région connue pour sa fidélité au
catholicisme.
Il alla au Collège anglais de
Douai et fut ordonné prêtre.
En 1635, il commença son
activité en Angleterre, qui allait durer sept années.
Durant cette période, il porta
fréquemment le nom de Huddleston, qui pouvait être le nom de jeune fille
de sa mère.
Appréhendé près de Watlas,
notre prêtre fut conduit au juge, qui se trouvait être un parent, et l’on
réussit à «acheter» ce juge pour faire condamner Edward (Edmund). Il fut
condamné à mort, en même temps qu’un autre prêtre, John Lockwood.
Le roi temporisa pour signer ;
il le fit durant sa présence à York.
Les deux prêtres furent
traînés par les rues de York jusqu’au lieu de l’exécution. Edward demanda alors
à être exécuté le premier, pour redonner courage à son Confrère, qui lui
semblait être assez impressionné à la vue de la potence.
Edward Catherick mourut en
martyr à York, pendu, éviscéré et écartelé, le 13 avril 1642.
On plaça sa tête au Micklegate
Bar, les restes de son corps furent brûlés au Toft Green ; des ossements furent
conservés au monastère Saint-Grégoire.
Edward (Edmund) fut béatifié en 1929 parmi
cent-sept Compagnons, d’Angleterre et du Pays de Galles.
Blessed Edward Catherick
M (AC)
Born at Carlton, Yorkshire, England; died at York in 1642; beatified in 1929.
Blessed Edward was educated for the priesthood at Douai. Upon his ordination,
he returned to the mission fields of England, where he worked from 1635 until
his execution (Benedictines).
Ven. Edmund Catherick
Priest and martyr, born probably in Lancashire about 1605; executed
at York, 13 April, 1642. He was descended from the old
family of Catherick of Carlton and Stanwick, in the North Riding of Yorkshire,
known for its loyalty to the Faith.
Educated at Douai College, he was ordained in the same institution, and about 1635 went out to the English
mission where he began his seven years' ministry
which closed with his death. During this time he was known
under the alias Huddleston,
which was probably his mother's maiden
name.
Apprehended in the North
Riding, near Watlas, Catherick was brought by pursuivants before Justice
Dodsworth, a connection by marriage
— possibly an uncle. Gillow states (IV, 310) that it was through admissions
made to Dodsworth, under the
guise of friendship, that Catherick was convicted. He was arraigned at York
and condemned to death together with Father John Lockwood. The execution
was stayed by the king for a short time, but he finally signed the warrant and
it was carried out during his presence at The Manor in York. Catherick and Lockwood were dragged through the streets of York
on a hurdle to the place of execution
and hanged, drawn, and quartered. Catherick's head was placed on Micklegate
Bar, and what fragments
remained, after the hangman's butchery,
were buried at Toft Green. The
"body" is now at St. Gregory's Monastery,
Downside, and the skull, said to
have been found at Hazlewood Castle, was carefully examined by Lingard in 1845.

Blessed John Lockwood
England
John Lockwood, priest and martyr, born in of Sowerby, Yorkshire, about 1555 (some say
1561). He was the eldest son of Christopher Lockwood and Clare Lascelles. With
their second son, Francis, he arrived at Reims on 4 November 1579, and was at once sent to Douai to study philosophy. John then entered the English College in Rome on 4 October 1595, was ordained priest on 26 January 1597, and sent back to the English
mission on 20 April 1598. After suffering imprisonment he was banished in 1610. He then returned to England,
was again taken and condemned to death, but reprieved.
After 44 years of hidden ministry, John
was finally captured in 1642 at Wood End, Gatenby, near Thirsk, where he had
been living for some years, and taken to York for trial. Because of his
advanced age – he was 81 years old – he had to be held on a horse in a slow and
painful journey. He was tried for being a seminary priest and condemned to
death, along with a younger priest called John (Edmund) Catherick. Thinking he
saw signs of faltering in the younger man, he asked to be allowed to die first.
They were both hung, drawn and quartered at York on 13 April 1642, and both
were beatified in 1929. They were probably executed at Knavesmire, just outside
the city walls, where there is now a racecourse.
