medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
>Dear George
Thank you for this suggestion -- I don't know the book, but it sounds
like just what I need and I'll track it down as soon as I can. I'll
look forward to seeing your work -- tell me more about it when you're
not in transit.
best wishes
Sue

>Dear fellow list members

>I'm working on the 1307 canonization process of St THomas Cantilupe,
>bishop of Hereford, and am struck by the way in which the Franciscan
>'voice' on T's miracles seems to differ from that of other religious
>orders. While other witnesses agree that members of their order and
>the general public recognize T as a saint and believe that God works
>miracles for him, the Franciscans tend to make a point of stating
>that the people believe this, but members of the order do not
>readily believe in miracles unless they themselves have seen them.
>The Franciscans are also the only witnesses who stress the need to
>beware of faked miracles, giving some wonderful examples of these.
>There may well be political reasons for the Franciscan attitude,
>since T. died in the course of pursuing an appeal against a
>Franciscan archbishop of Canterbury. But it seems to me that there is
>more to it than that -- that the Franciscans thought about miracles
>and their in a somewhat different way from members of other orders. I
>wonder if any of you know anything about this or can point me to
>where in all the hundreds of books on the Franciscan tradition I
>might look to follow it up.
