medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Meg,
Thus far I have found only one canon law text on the election of an
abbot to the episcopate requiring papal consent:
Boniface VIII, Si abbatem, De electione in the Liber sextus decretalium
[VI 1.6.36]. Friedberg ed., Corpus iuris canonici, vol. 2, col. 965.
It pertains to exempt monasteries, since they are immediately subject to
the holy see. In such a case, the abbot elected a bishop needs papal
consent.
I have run into a similar provision for abbots of exempt monasteries who
want to give up their offices.

The fish and the cross sans corpus were the earliest symbols of the followers of Jesus and the earliest depiction of Jesus himself (correction if necessary, please) is that of the Good Shepherd. I'm not sure what a hollowed empty cave would look like, scratched or drawn on a wall, other than a zero or the letter O. Fashioning an amulet or pendant of same would have been rather difficult for our forebears. I can't quite turn the cross into a phallic symbol without an impossible stretch of my imagination, especially since it isn't really a symbol but a representation of an historically, empirically verifiable device. Actually, the very use of the cross as a designation of the Christian faith is a potent affirmation of the Resurrection. For without the latter, the former would just be a tree with a crossbeam. And no one would
