The college was founded in 1428 as a Benedictine hostel, in time coming to be known as Buckingham College, before being refounded in 1542 as the College of St Mary Magdalene. Magdalene counted some of the greatest men in the realm among its benefactors, including Britain's premier noble the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Buckingham and Lord Chief Justice Christopher Wray. Thomas Audley, Lord Chancellor under Henry VIII, was responsible for the refoundation of the college and also established its motto—garde ta foy.

Una Voce actively promotes and encourages the use of and petitions for wider indults in facilitating the traditional Tridentine Mass in the Catholic liturgy. [1]

Una Voce organization

The Foederatio Internationalis Una Voce or simply Una Voce is an international federation of Catholic lay organizations attached to the Tridentine Mass, colloquially known as "the Latin Mass".

An indult in Catholic canon law is a permission, or privilege, granted by the competent church authority – the Holy See or the diocesan bishop, as the case may be – for an exception from a particular norm of church law in an individual case, for example, members of the consecrated life seeking to be dispensed from their religious vows, or of priests and deacons who voluntarily seek to return to the lay state. An apostolic indult is needed from the local ordinary for presbyteral or diaconal ordinations done within a year before the normal date; if the ordination is done more than one year in advance of the normal date then a papal apostolic indult from the Holy See is also needed.

Tridentine Mass Type of mass in the Roman Catholic Church

The Tridentine Mass, also known as the Traditional Latin Mass, Usus Antiquior or Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, is the Roman Rite Mass which appears in typical editions of the Roman Missal published from 1570 to 1962. The most widely used Mass liturgy in the world until the introduction of the Mass of Paul VI in 1969, it is celebrated in ecclesiastical Latin. The 1962 edition is the most recent authorized text, also known as the Missal of Saint John XXIII after the now canonized Pope who promulgated it.

Order of Prince Danilo I award

The Order of Prince Danilo I of Montenegro was an order of the Principality, and later Kingdom, of Montenegro. It is currently granted as a dynastic honor by the undisputed head of the House of Petrović-Njegoš, Nicholas Petrović Njegoš II. Although no longer a state order, recognition is indicated by the acceptance of the former President of Montenegro, Filip Vujanović. More formal recognition by the Republic of Montenegro is implicit in the 2011 "Law on the Status of the Descendants of the Petrović Njegoš Dynasty", which recognizes the current crown prince as head of the Royal Family and specifically sanctions the use of the royal family's heraldic symbols. The act also provides the Crown Prince housing and a pension and has been noted as conferring a sort of "quasi restoration" of the throne. In a May 15th Pobjeda newspaper interview, Prince Nikola cited Article 3 of this law as the basis for his May 5th re-institution of the Order, which he emphasized was "historically an extremely valuable Montenegrin decoration." He went on to explain that the order can be awarded to Montenegrin nationals and worthy foreigners on two general grounds: (1), for support and affirmation of Montenegrin independence and the royal tradition of the Petrovic Njegos dynasty, and (2) to those whose "scientific or social work contributed to the development of culture, art and science." The Order has since been bestowed on a number of high dignitaries internationally. In an April 17, 2016 visit to Rome, Prince Nikola II Petrovic Njegoš met with Pope Francis and other high Vatican officials bestowing the dynastic honor on the Cambodian ambassador and Ambassador of the Royal House of Cambodia, His Highness Prince Sisowath Ravivaddhana Monipong, the Montenegrin ambassador to the Holy See Veselin Šuković, including all the superiors of the secretariat of state the cardinal of the Basilica of St. Peter Angelo comastri il President of the Italian and International Red Cross as well as the U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Kenneth Francis Hackett, and the ambassador of Hungary Eduard von Habsburg-Lothringen, Russian/Italian Opera Diva Maria Ratkova among several other Vatican officials and Italian nobles.
