medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear medieval-religion colleagues,
Thanks, Genevra, for sharing this news with the list, and thanks, Erica, for your query.
The decision to proceed with canonizing and doctorizing Hildegard has been delivered in dribs and drabs over the past year or so, but the canonization actually took place a few months ago and the intention to make Hildegard a doctor was announced in late May. The actual doctorization took place on Sunday, in St Peter's Square.
I was present, as I'm writing an article on Hildegard's canonization and related matters.
There will be an article and photographs in this weekend's The Tablet, the English Catholic weekly.
There will be a huge conference on Hildegard in Mainz in late February - early March 2013.
Best wishes, George
