medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I don't know how to answer your question about the CathEn at the NewAdvent
website. It almost seems that, in order to use it judiciously, one must
already know the answer one is seeking... I'm not a theologian; I go to the
website to see if I can find a starting point or a possible response to a
query. Recently there was a question about a cope/cope clasp (morse). I
produced the URL for the page giving what I believed was an excellent
response to the person seeking the information. I also used NewAdvent to
suggest a possible reason for depicting St Augustine with a sun, a moon, an
eagle and an acrobat. Likewise I found a passage from some Church father
(perhaps Augustine again) to offer an explanation of the iconography of
Humilitas. Since no one among our esteemed and learned list members jumped
all over my responses, I'm assuming the information was adequate and
correct, or at least plausible. (On the other hand, perhaps it was incorrect
beyond repair.) I offer what I can find with the usual disclaimer that I
cannot vouch for the accuracy of same.
