medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture ----- Original Message ----- From: Rebecca Stephens >>Vatican II simply advised that the number of universal feasts be slimmed down, as with about 15,000 saints in circulation the feast days were becoming overwhelming.<< And yet isn't it strange and wonderfully ironic that the present Pontifex Maximus will go down in history as the Pope who canonised more Saints than all the combined papacy before him!!
