  Malines - LoveToKnow 1911
MALINES (Flemish, Mechelen, called in the middle ages by the Latin name Mechlinia, whence the spelling Mechlin), an ancient and important city of Belgium, and the seat since 1559 of the only archbishopric in that country.

 Battle Of Malines
Although the battle of Malines cannot be compared in point of numbers with such titanic struggles as the battle of Mons, although it cannot be compared in importance with the defence of Liége, it will rank in military history as one of the most characteristic achievements of the Belgian campaign.
But the chief object of the Belgian advance was to co-operate from the north with the advance of the Allied armies from the south and to relieve the pressure of the German attack and to divert from the main German army at least two, and perhaps three, army corps.
Malines, which in the morning we had found full of animation, by five o'clock in the afternoon had become a melancholy desert.

 News
VATICAN CITY, SEP 5, 1996 (VIS) - The Holy Father sent a message, made public today, to Cardinal Edward I. Cassidy, who participated in a colloquium on Saturday, August 31 in Malines, Belgium, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the "Malines Conversations" between Catholics and Anglicans.
"The 'Malines Conversations' which began in 1921 and lasted for five years," writes John Paul II, "were the fruit of the joint initiative of three ecumenical pioneers: Cardinal Mercier, the then Archbishop of Mechelen, Lord Halifax and the Abbe Fernand Portal.
The Pope later notes that "the results of the Malines Conversations matured with the passage of time." He recalls the contacts between Pope John XXIII and Archbishop Geoffrey Fisher of Canterbury, whose "bonds of friendship and esteem were strengthened during the course of the Second Vatican Council."
