medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hi Everyone,
This is my third year going to K'zoo, and I know Stephen Allen...but I'm
afraid I don't know anyone else and it would be wonderful to be able to put
names with faces.
Anyway, I have just made myself a Borgia jacket, after my favorite pope
Alexander VI. It's got the Borgia coat of arms on the back, Cesare's on the
left sleeve and Callistus III's on the right, and Lucrezia over the breast
pocket.
I'm assuming no one else will have a Borgia jacket, so, if any of you see me
please introduce yourselves. Otherwise I sit in the corner in the cafeteria
at Breakfast, lunch, and dinner by my lonesome eating my very un-scholarly
Cocoa-Krispies, and feeling once again like the nerd in high school who sat
by herself. Not that I'm bitter of course...no...not me...I've turned the
page.... :)
Thanks,
Wendy Reardon

> Hilary of Arles (d. 449) Hilary, though born in c. 400, was a pagan until
> adulthood. He was well educated and won a high administrative post. But
> then his friend and kinsman St. Honoratus converted him. Hilary gave all
> his goods to the poor and became a monk at Lerins. He followed Honoratus
> to Arles as his secretary, and later succeeded him as archbishop. He

> Diuma (7th cent.) A Scottish priest, Diuma went with St. Cedd to convert
> Mercia. There he became the first bishop. He also founded the monastery

> Angelus of Jerusalem (d. 1220) Angelus was a native of Jerusalem, of
> Jewish ancestry. He became one of the first Carmelites, and was sent to
> Rome to win approval for the community's rule. After that, A. went to
> Sicily to preach. But legend reports that his probity got him into
> trouble. He denounced the incest of a Count Berengar with his sister,
> winning the woman to penitence. The count preferred revenge to
repentance,
> though---he is supposed to have had Angelus hanged and shot full of
arrows.
