Caraman, Philip, 1911-1998
Variant namesEnglish Jesuit and author.
Philip Caraman was born in 1911 in London, England. He joined the Society of Jesus in 1930 and was ordained in 1945. Caraman's mentor, Martin D'Arcy, SJ, helped him make connections with influential Catholics. These connections were useful when he became editor of the Jesuit periodical The Month. Caraman wrote biographies about historically influential Catholics. During the 1950s, he was involved in the conversion of several famous Catholics. He became interested in Norwegian Catholicism, travelling to Oslo to work as chaplain. His travels to Scandinavian and South American countries in the 1960s and 1970s inspired his novels. Later in life, Caraman made trips to Rome, contributed to the Encyclopedia of the Jesuits, and worked at small parishes. He died in 1998.
