medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > [Martyrs of September] (blessed (d. 1792) Not medieval, but I thought > others might find this as interesting as I did when I ran across it. This > is a group of 191 martyrs massacred by the Parisian mob on September 2 and > 3 in 1792. They had been imprisoned for refusing the oath to support the > civil constitution of the clergy. They included three bishops, 124 secular > priests, and miscellaneous religious. 95 of them were killed at the > Carmelite church, 72 at the Vincentian seminary, and 21 at St. Germain des > Pres. They were beatified in 1926. It makes me feel rather better about > the French Church in revolutionary times.] Among whom I understand were forty Maurist Fathers, those great and meticulous pioneers of mediaeval studies, originators of the Gallia Christiana &c without whom our work today would be infinitely the poorer. So yes, I think they SHOULD be included on our commem list.
