To the best of my knowledge Julian is "Blessed" in the RCC. I've always
seen May 8 as her feast, but that may be based on an Anglican calendar.
I'm always rather glad to be in Kalamazoo at that time, preferably
attending (as this past year) a panel/paper on Julian!
I've been told there's considerable contemporary interest among Roman
Catholics in Julian. Any thoughts on this, Julian among Roman Catholics
vs. Anglicans? Anyone care to comment on the contemporary popular
interest in Julian compared with that of Hildegard, for instance? Are
there other women saints enjoying a popular renaissance now? Why are they
attractive to us now, besides the obvious status as women
writers/theologians in history?
