Canonization - Canonization The Canonization of Saints is the process used by the Roman Catholic Church of recognizing those persons who have lived exemplary lives suitable of identifying them as Christian Saints. The same term also describes the Eastern Orthodox practice of adding the names of saints to the liturgical calendar and to their prayers. The process of an individual being declared a saint in the Roman Catholic Church began in the 900s, when the church in Rome demanded that saints be added to an official list to be kept in Rome. The first saint to be added to this official list was Saint Ulrich of Augsburg, who was canonized in 993. The process has evolved and bureaucratized over time into a multi-stage study of the life, writings,.

Jacques Clément - and confidential message to deliver. The attendants then withdrew, and while Henry was reading the letters Clement mortally wounded him with a dagger which had been, concealed beneath his cloak. The assassin was at once killed by the attendants who rushed in, and Henry died early on the following day. Clement’s body was afterwards quartered and burned. This deed, however, was viewed with far different feelings in Paris and by the partisans of the League, the murderer being regarded as a martyr and extolled by Pope Sixtus V, while even his canonization was discussed.

Junipero Serra - Gabriel Arcángel, Mission San Luis Obispo, Mission San Juan Capistrano, Mission San Francisco de Asís, Mission Santa Clara de Asís and Mission San Buenaventura. In 1784, at the age of 70, Father Serra died at Mission San Carlos Borromeo and is buried there under the sanctuary floor. Serra has been declared a "Blessed" by the Catholic Church, and many are pushing for his canonization. However, Native American groups are opposed to this, on the grounds that his missions enslaved their people..
Julie Brilliart - Sisters of Notre Dame was approved by an imperial decree dated June 19, 1806, it numbered thirty members, In that and the following years, foundations were made in various towns of France and Belgium, the most important being those at Ghent and Namur, of which the latter house Mother St. Joseph was the first superior. This spread of the institute beyond the Diocese of Amiens cost the foundress the greatest sorrow of her life. In the absence of Father Varin from that city, the confessor of the community, the Abbé de Sambucy de St. Estève, a man of superior intelligence and attainments but enterprising and injudicious, endeavored to change the rule and fundamental constitutions of the new congregation so as to bring it into harmony with the ancient monastic orders. He.
InterWiki - what kind of link pattern a wiki uses. The two most common link patterns in wikis are CamelCase (words "SmashedTogether") and free links (words in [[double square brackets]]; see Wikipedia:Canonization). Accordingly, InterWiki links on a CamelCase-based wiki frequently take the form of "Code:PageName", where Code is the defined name of another wiki. Thus, a link "WikiPedia:InterWiki" would be rendered in HTML as a link to this article. Linking to a page that contains spaces in it typically requires substitution of the spaces with underscores (e.g. WikiPedia:Main_Page). InterWiki links on wikis based on free links like WikiPedia typically follow the same principle, but the InterWiki code and page name are placed in double square brackets, which makes it simpler to link to pages with spaces in them. Example: [[:de:InterWiki]] (former syntax: [[DeWikipedia:InterWiki]]).
Genizah - Hebrew and Greek languages require "genizah," that is, preservation. In Pesachim 118b "bet genizah" = "treasury." In Pesachim 56a Hezekiah hides ("ganaz") a medical work; in Shabbat 115a R. Gamaliel orders that the Targum to the Book of Job should be hidden ("yigganez") under the "nidbak" (layer of stones). In Shabbat 30b there is a reference to those rabbis who sought to categorize the books of Ecclesiastes and Proverbs as heretical; this occurred before the canonization of the Hebrew Bible, when disputes flared over which books should be considered Biblical. The same thing occurs in Shabbat 13b in regard to the Book of Ezekiel, and in Pesachim 62 in regard to the Book of Genealogies. In the medieval era In medieval times such Hebrew scraps and papers as were relegated to.
Guillén de Castro y Bellvis - and Olivares, Castro was nominated a knight of the order of Santiago in 1623. He settled at Madrid in 1626, and died there in such poverty that his funeral expenses were defrayed by charity. He probably made the acquaintance of Lope de Vega at the festivals (1620-1622) held to commemorate the beatification and canonization of St Isidore, the patron saint of Madrid. On the latter occasion Castro's octavas were awarded the first prize. Lope de Vega dedicated to him a celebrated play entitled Las Almenas de Toro (1619), and when Castro's Comedias were published in 1618-1621 he dedicated the first volume to Lope de Vega's daughter. The drama that has made Castro's reputation is Las Mocedades del Cid (1599?), to the first part of which Corneille was largely indebted for the.
Edmund of East Anglia - vassal from heathen overlords, may very probably have some basis in truth. The story dates from very early times, and according to Abbo of Fleury (945-1004), St Edmund's earliest biographer, it came to him (Abbo) via Dunstan, who heard it from the 1ips of Edmund's own standard-bearer. This is chronologically just possible, but that is all. The battle took place at Hoxne, some 20 miles south-east of Thetford, and the king's body was ultimately interred at Beadoriceworth, the modern Bury St Edmunds. The shrine of Edmund soon became one of the most famous in England and the reputation of the saint became Europe-wide. The date of his canonization is unknown, but churches dedicated to his memory are found all over England. See Asser's Life of Alfred, ed. W.H. Stevenson; Annals of.
Devil's Advocate - Devil's Advocate In the old process of canonization by the Roman Catholic Church, the Devil's Advocate was a prosecutor appointed by the Church to argue against the canonization of the proposed candidate. In Latin, the title, which is unofficial, is ADVOCATVS DIABOLI, which would perhaps be more accurately translated into English by the phrase the Devil's lawyer. The official title is Fidei Defensor, Latin for Defender of the Faith. Since then, the term has been taken to mean anyone who tests a hypothesis by taking up the opposite position to that hypothesised, even if doing so may in the long term strengthen the hypothesis..

Tertullian - to health and at once calls upon God (Apol., xvii.) and is naturally Christian. It exists in all men alike; it is a culprit and yet an unconscious witness by its impulse to worship, its fear of demons, and its musings on death to the power, benignity, and judgment of God as revealed in the Christian's Scriptures (De testimonio, v.-vi.). (3) God, who made the world out of nothing through his Son, the Word, has corporeity though he is a spirit (De praescriptione, vii.; Adv. Praxeam, vii.). In the statement of the Trinity, Tertullian was a forerunner of the Nicene doctrine, approaching the subject from the standpoint of the Logos doctrine, though he did not fully state the immanent Trinity. In his treatise against Praxeas, who taught patripassianism in Rome, he.
Babenberg - in the Donnegau, is described as count of the East Mark, a district not more than 60 miles in breadth on the eastern frontier of Bavaria which grew into the duchy of Austria. Liutpold, who probably received the mark as a reward for his fidelity to the emperor Otto II during the Bavarian rising in 976, extended its area at the expense of the Hungarians, and was succeeded in 994 by his son Henry I. Henry, who continued his father's policy, was followed in 1018 by his brother Adalbert and in 1055 by his nephew, Ernst, whose marked loyalty to the emperors Henry II and Henry III was rewarded by many tokens of favour. The succeeding margrave, Liutpold II, quarrelled with Henry III, who was unable to oust him from the.
Te Deum - rex gloriae, Christe. It is known that the petitions at the end of the hymn are of later composition. The hymn remains in regular use by the Roman Catholic Church, in the Office of Readings found in the Liturgy of the Hours, and for special occasions such as the canonization of a saint. The popularity of its sentiment has given rise to its translation into languages other than the original Latin; an example in contemporary English usage would be Holy God, we praise Thy Name. Many Protestant churches have retained its use. The hymn follows the outline of the Apostles' Creed, mixing a poetic vision of the heavenly liturgy with its declaration of faith. Naming God immediately, the hymn proceeds to name all those who praise and venerate God, from the.
Balthazar Gerards - same time more pages and halberdiers of the prince appeared and dragged him back to the house under a rain of fists and beatings with the butt of a sword. From the talk he heard he thought that the prince was still alive. "Cursed be the hand that missed!" he yelled. The city magistrates At the house he immediately underwent a preliminary examination before the city magistrates. Upon being interrogated by the magistrates, he manifested neither despair nor contrition, but rather a quiet exultation. He said that "Like David, he had slain Goliath of Gath." The magistrates sentenced that the right hand of Balthazar should be burned off with a red-hot iron, that his flesh should be torn from his bones with pincers in six different places, that he should be.
Beatification - miracle must be proven to have taken place through the intercession of the person to be beatified. A person who is beatified is given the title "Blessed." Beatification is considered a step towards canonization (being declared a saint). List of beatified people Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Blessed Catherine Tekakwitha Blessed Edmund Rice Beatification and Canonization (Public domain text from The Catholic Encyclopaedia of 1914)) This text should be understood as representing an official Catholic view of this subject as it stood before the Second Vatican Council. HISTORY According to some writers the origin of beatification and canonization in the Catholic Church is to be traced back to the ancient pagan apotheosis. In his classic work on the subject (De Servorum Dei Beatificatione et Beatorum Canonizatione) Benedict XIV examines and at the.
