  Daniel Mannix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mannix was the son of a tenant farmer near Charleville, in County Cork, and was educated at Irish Christian Brothers schools and at the prestigious St Patrick's College, Maynooth seminary, where he was ordained as a priest in 1890.
Mannix was consecrated as a bishop in Melbourne in 1912.
Mannix was thus regarded with suspicion from the start, and his militant advocacy on behalf of a separate Roman Catholic school system, in defiance of the general acceptance of a secular school system, made him immediately a figure of controversy.

 Freaks: We Who Are Not As Others
On the basis of this, we may not necessarily retain that Mannix's text is necessarily reliable nor may we ascertain that many of his stories of freaks past are essentially true (he even said that some of the stories were questionable).
Mannix draws from his extensive carnie experience to create a tender and even sweet look at people who were not like others around them.
Mannix is clearly fueled by anger that political correctness has deprived these people of their means of earning a living and forced them into institutions.

 History (Mannix College)
Mannix College is named after Archbishop Daniel Mannix (1864-1963), a notable leader in his home country of Ireland, and in his adopted country, Australia.
Daniel Mannix was known for his passion, strength of character, academic prowess, and notably, his commitment to education.
Over the ensuing years, Mannix College has settled into a structure of accommodating roughly equal numbers of men and women students, largely representing students who have moved from rural and regional Victoria to study at Monash University, senior students and visiting lecturers, and a wide contingent of cultures, creeds and backgrounds.

 Mannix: A Monument to a Leader
Daniel Mannix was almost fifty years of age when, in response to the long-sustained pressure on the Holy See exerted by his predecessor, Archbishop Carr, he arrived in Melbourne as Coadjutor-Archbishop in April 1913, a position he held until he succeeded Dr Carr following the latter's death in June 1917.
Mannix would have understood the position roughly in these terms: that the Catholic Church is today divided between two groups holding fundamentally antithetical positions.
We may be wrong: but if Mannix had lived to see this era, we think that that is how he would have defined it - and then focussed on it, until there was once again a foundation firm enough to carry the building to be re-erected on it.

 THE HELLFIRE CLUB by Daniel P Mannix   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Mannix gleefully describes their orgies, the sexual mores of the day (or lack of them), their blasphemy and violence all mixed up with their taste, wit, style and general high level of intelligence, albeit misplaced and wasted in most cases.
To Mannix the most important aspect of the club's existence was how John Wilkes was involved in it and much is made of how the club dragged British politics into chaos and their association with first the aged George II and then his ineffectual son.
All this helped contribute to the success of the War of Independence and according to Mannix was one of the main reasons why Britain lost America as a colony.

Daniel Mannix introduces us into the world of "Freaks" and the history of sideshows.
Mannix clearly holds a bias in favour of freak shows and this can be interesting to consider in a time when we are overwhelmed by political correctness.
Mannix's collection of pictures alone is likely worth the price of the book for many - I was, however, seeking something a little more researched and scholarly (not boring, just well put together and intelligent).

 DANIEL MANNIX : Wit and Wisdom - new edition
However, Dr Mannix's long period in Ireland under British colonial rule prior to moving to Australia at the age of 50 had accustomed him to seeing Catholic bishops as the natural leaders of their people in spiritual and secular areas.
The Catholics Dr Mannix first encountered in Australia in 1913 were predominantly of Irish descent, occupying the lowest rungs of the socio-economic ladder and tolerated as long as they "knew their place".
As Dr Mannix himself once put it, his problem was not that he spoke the truth, but that he spoke it too soon.

Whether it was on the matter of conscription in World War 1 or the state of the ALP in the 1950âs Mannix was strident, passionate, and had no fear of the ire of those in power.
Some of the sermons I have read from Mannix get my heart pumping: such as the one in 1932 when he told Australians that millions of men and women in the world were starving while the world was full of wealth.
He wrote of Archbishop Mannix as being: ãtoo massive a man to be captured in a simple generalization by a scribbler.

Mannix has written a sensitive, humane story about some outstanding examples of civilization's contributors.
"Mannix and RE/Search have provided us with a moving glimpse at the rarified world of deformity; a glimpse that ultimately succeeds in its goal of humanizing the inhuman, revealing the beauty that often lies behind the grotesque and dramatically illustrating the triumph of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming debility."

Nonetheless, the life of Daniel Mannix in Ireland and Australia was exceptional in that it spanned ninety-nine years and involved such important issues as land, language, Irish independence, conscription, trade unions, state aid for Catholic schools, Communism, war, authority, republicanism, Australian identity, and belief.
However, at the beginning of the new century, many of the children and grandchildren of those Irish Australian Catholics who made up Mannix's base of support have taken up new positions on various aspects of their traditions, or rejected conventional positions altogether.
By naming Archbishop Mannix as 'Irish Australian of the century', the Melbourne Irish Festival Committee invites us to reflect on a century of our heritage and to look afresh at the lessons to be learned.

 Daniel Pratt Mannix IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daniel Pratt Mannix IV, usually called Daniel P. Mannix (October 27, 1911-January 29, 1997), was a Pennsylvania-born author and journalist whose best-known work is the 1967 novel The Fox and the Hound on which the Disney film The Fox and the Hound was based.
According to Martin M Winkler's book, Gladiator: Film and History, Mannix's 1958 non-fiction book Those about to Die (republished in 2001 as The Way of the Gladiator) was the inspiration for David Franzoni's screenplay for the movie Gladiator.
Mannix's varied career included time spent as a sword swallower and fire eater in a circus, as described in his account Step Right Up (aka Memoirs of a Sword Swallower); a professional hunter; and a collector of wildlife for zoos and circuses.

 HISTORY: How political myths are made - 23 August 2003
Fr Modotti was a leader in the Italian community, a close friend of Archbishop Daniel Mannix, a nuisance to the Italian consular corps in Australia and, after Italy entered the war in June 1940, a problem to the Australian authorities.
Following the capitulation, Dr Mannix and Arthur Calwell, Minister for Information, called a meeting of the Italian community in Melbourne to remind the authorities that Italians were no longer enemy aliens and those interned should be released.
All this is on the public record, yet those with an ideological or personal antipathy to Daniel Mannix or Bob Santamaria preferred to use another, questionable, source: the minutes of a meeting of Italia Libera!

I will first deal with Archbishop Daniel Mannix, who was responsible for the defeat of the Hughes Government's 1917 referendum to give a Government power to conscript young men for military service outside the Commonwealth.
Labor's Leader, Dr Evatt, arranged for Senator Nick McKenna, a devout, practising Catholic, to call on Archbishop Mannix to explain the dangers of the Bill; which in given circumstances, could render the Church liable to be declared a Communist organisation for daring to support Communist policy of, for example, free education.
Except for the vigorous campaign carried out by Dr Mannix, our Constitution would have allowed a minister to declare an innocent person or organisation to be a Communist, and punished accordingly.
