medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Well George, being polite is not the same as keeping your mouth shot when facing scholarly incompetence. Maybe you should try to Google your own name and see how much commercial and religiously biased crap is turning up! Is it with your consent? Hardly! You have saved the list once, now please try to keep the level up, - otherwise are there a few dozens of us who will turn elsewhere, as we did ten years ago.

John Neumann was born in in 1811 in what is now the Czech Republic. After studying in Prague, he came to New York at 25 and was ordained a priest. He did missionary work in New York until he was 29, when he joined the Redemptorists and became its first member to profess vows in the United States. He continued missionary work in Maryland, Virginia and Ohio, where he became popular with the Germans. At 41, as bishop of Philadelphia, he organized the parochial school system into a diocesan one, increasing the number of pupils almost twentyfold within a short time. Gifted with outstanding organizing ability, he drew into the city many teaching communities of sisters and the Christian Brothers. During his brief assignment as vice provincial for the Redemptorists, he placed them in the forefront of the parochial movement. He died in 1860. Known for his holiness and learning, spiritual writing and preaching, on October 13, 1963, he became the first American bishop to be beatified. St John Neumann was canonized in 1977. He is buried in St Peter the Apostle Church in Philadelphia.

George called on those taking his 'Inferno' seminar to sign up for a marathon reading of the great poem in all its parts over six hours. Quite a challenge! But one made possible and even fun by staying for as little or as long as people wanted, in the relaxed setting of the Catholic Chaplaincy's bar. Dante's great poem is based on a journey. And the marathon read made that clear. Rather than scanning words on a page with reference to text books and various interpretations the students embarked on a joint journey to read and hear the poem as should be proclaimed. The event drew quite a crowd. I spoke with Dr George Ferzoco and some of the participants in the busy chaplaincy bar where the readings took place.
