- The English College of St Gregory was a Roman Catholic seminary in Seville, Spain. It was founded by the English Jesuit Robert Persons in 1592, when Roman Catholicism was illegal in England, to provide his native country with priests. The dedication of the college to St Gregory recalls the Gregorian mission of AD 596, which resulted in the Anglo-Saxons being converted to Christianity. In 1596, in Seville, Persons wrote Memorial for the Reformation of England, concerning how England might be returned to the Roman Catholic faith. Teaching staff included Richard Smith who developed different ideas from Persons about the project. Partly through the influence of Cardinal Richelieu, Smith was to return to England as a Roman Catholic bishop. The institution was short of funds, but it was supported by the Jesuits until 1767 when Charles III, in a surprise move, expelled the order from Spain. Its assets were then transferred to the English College in Valladolid, which had also been founded by Persons. This continued to function under the protection of the Spanish crown. (en)
- El Colegio Inglés de Sevilla fue fundado por el jesuita Robert Persons en 1592 y dedicado a San Gregorio Magno, Apóstol de Inglaterra. Llamado también Colegio de San Gregorio, estuvo en activo entre 1592 y 1767. Se trataba de un seminario católico para ingleses, escoceses, galeses e irlandeses perseguidos por sus ideas religiosas antiprotestantes como consecuencia de la separación de la Iglesia de Inglaterra con Enrique VIII. En España se fundaron los de Valladolid, Sevilla y Madrid; en Francia el de Douai; en Italia el de Roma; en Bélgica el de Lovaina. Una gran parte de los estudiantes de estos seminarios se educaron con el propósito de regresar a la misión inglesa, es decir, de volver a Inglaterra con el propósito de lograr su conversión al catolicismo. Una vez allí muchos fueron encarcelados por desempañar labores proselitistas del catolicismo, por ejercer de sacerdotes y confesores o por presuntas labores de espionaje y conspiración. (es)
