	Ghent : Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Ghent (Gent), the capital town of Oost-Vlaanderen (East Flanders) province, is often considered a poor relation of Bruges in tourism terms, with historical monuments and townscapes that are not quite as pretty as those in its sister city to the north, and therefore only to be visited if there is time after seeing Bruges.
		Ghent was the seat of the counts of Flanders, who built their great castle here in 1180, but local fortifications predate their reign, going back to the 900s.
		Small wonder, then, that in 1815 it was Maurice de Broglie, a bishop of Ghent, who sparked the fire of indignation against the rule of Dutch Protestants, a fire that in 1830 would burst into the flame of national independence for Belgium.

	BIOGRAPHY
		Triest accepted the offer, went to Ghent on the 30th of July 1805, but with so little belongings that he and the six sisters were obliged, for a while, to sleep on chairs or on straw mattresses.
		That mark of esteem for the founder and superior of the Sisters' community was perhaps intended to cover the shocking pesterings he was later on to inflict upon the Sisters' institutions in different cities of the land.
		Especially in Ghent, his credit was extraordinary in the realm of good works; he was a member of the administration of prisons, of Mont-de-Piété, of the welfare work-shop, of the central cholera commission, of the commission of civic hospices.

		In the Dioceses of Ghent, Troyes, and Tournai, the chapters regarded the bishops appointed by Napoleon as intruders.

		I still remember very well how after several radical proposals a Sicilian bishop rose and implored the fathers to allow caution and reason to reign on this point, because otherwise there would be the danger that the entire Mass might be held in the language of the people-whereupon the entire hall burst into uproarious laughter.
		Among the German-speaking bishops the one responsible for the liturgy in the Austrian bishops' conference pointed out in 1995 that the Council had intended no revolution but a reform of the liturgy faithful to tradition.
		He recommended specially to the bishops to imitate his generosity to the faithful who feel attached to the fixed forms of the old liturgy and discipline, and stated that one must respect all those who feel attached to the ancient liturgical tradition.
