medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture you could see Epistola 42 Ad Henricum Senonensem Archiepiscopum, § 36 (PL 182, col. 832 C-833A) : Ite nunc ergo, resistite Christi Vicario, cum nec suo adversario Christus restiterit: aut dicite, si audetis, sui Praesulis Deum ordinationem nescire, cum Romani Praesidis potestatem Christus super se quoque fateatur fuisse coelitus ordinatam. Verum aperte indicant quidam horum quid cogitent, dum multo labore ac pretio apostolicis adeptis privilegiis, per ipsa sibi vindicant insignia pontificalia, utentes et ipsi more pontificum, mitra, annulo, atque sandaliis. Sane si attenditur rerum dignitas, hanc monachi abhorret professio: si ministerium, solis liquet congruere pontificibus. Profecto esse desiderant, quod videri gestiunt; meritoque nequeunt esse subjecti, quibus jam ipso se comparant desiderio. Quid si et nomen eis conferre privilegiorum posset auctoritas? quanto putas auro redimerent, ut appellarentur pontifices? Quo ista, o monachi? Ubi timor mentis? ubi rubor frontis? Quis unquam probatorum monachorum tale aliquid aut verbo docuit, aut reliquit exemplo? Duodecim humilitatis gradus Magister vester edisserit, propriisque distinguit descriptionibus : in quo, quaeso, illorum docetur aut continetur, ut hoc fastu delectari monachus, has quaerere debeat dignitates? and Cf P. Salmon, _Etudes sur les Pontificalia_, in L'Ami du clergé, 46 and 51 (1954), p. 677-681 and 754-760. db ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Sullivan, OSB" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 6:36 PM Subject: [M-R] Saint Bernard & Miters > medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > > Dear Colleagues: > > In James-Charles Noonan's The Church Visible, he states on page 365 that > Saint Bernard was strongly opposed to abbots wearing miters and wrote > diligently against the practice?
