suffered for their faith.
DIONYSIUS, bishop of Corinth (about A.D. 180)
S. Dionysius, bishop of Corinth, is mentioned by Eusebius among the
ancient writers of the Church, and he gives an account of his epistles
which were extant in his time.
WALTER, abbot (end of 11th cent.)
Walter, in Latin Galterius, in French Gautier, was born in the village
of Andainville, in Picardy, towards the end of the reign of Robert I.
He assumed the Benedictine habit in the abbey of Rébais, in the diocese
of Meaux . . . At this time the bad habit of sitting during the
recitation of the Psalms in choir had crept into the Church, but Walter
never would yield to indolence, for to extreme old age he stood during
the singing of the Psalms.
Oriens.
