Vatican publishes expanded calendar of saints Three years after finishing the massive project of updating and correcting the book-length calendar of Catholic saints, the Vatican has published an even bigger, more accurate version. The "Martyrologium Romanum" ("Roman Martyrology") was presented to the public at the weekend, during a conference on holiness and the complex task of separating fact from legend when dealing with martyrs and saints who lived and died thousands of years ago and whose lives gave rise to fervent devotion and, perhaps, fanciful stories. The martyrology - with its 6,658 individual names and an additional 6881 unnamed martyred "companions" - is organised as a calendar; it lists the saints and blesseds whose feast is celebrated each day and provides a small biography of each. www.cathnews.com /news/412/42.php   (635 words)

Vodou or Vodun Vodouists use Roman Catholic prayers and hymns at the beginning of ceremonies and use the Gregorian calendar to mark the celebrations of the lwas, the spirit intermediaries between humans and God, who have been linked to the iconography and stories about Roman Catholic saints. This syncretism is the subject of debates among scholars: some hold that Roman Catholic practices were actually absorbed into Vodou; others contend that the Haitians never accepted the European elements and instead simply used the saints and Christian rituals as a cover to continue their own practices. Roman Catholicism, headed exclusively by Westerners until the 1960s, had the political and financial support of the state and remained the country's sole official religion until the Constitution of 1987 recognized freedom of religion. www.africana.com /research/encarta/tt_115.asp   (269 words)

'from the Encyclopedia Mythica' Saints Many of these saints were honored annually with a special feast day; at one time their feast days filled about two-thirds of the Roman Catholic church's liturgical calendar, although some of the saints had become little more than names. All Saints' Day, also Allhallows or Hallowmas, is a Christian festival celebrated on November 1 in the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches in honor of God and all his saints, known and unknown. Saints are traditionally distributed into several classes: apostles and evangelists; martyrs; confessors, originally, those who had undergone imprisonment or pains without the final crown of martyrdom and, later, male saints in general who were eminent for sanctity; doctors, saints eminent for sacred learning; virgins; and matrons and widows. www.angelfire.com /realm/shades/demons/emsaints.htm   (837 words)

encyc01.thm The plan of arrangement in these compilations is that of the Roman calendar, the substance is the lives and legends concerning the saints, and the value of the material varies greatly. Both the Roman Catholic and Protestant religious encyclopedias were conspicuous successes and came to be called popularly, by the names of their editors, "Wetzer and Welte" and "Herzog" respectively. On his elevation to the cardinalate in 1879 he transferred his editorial duties to Franz Philipp Kaulen (1827-1907), Roman Catholic professor of theology in Bonn, and under him the new edition was finished in 1901 in twelve volumes, each one much larger than those of the first edition. www.ccel.org /s/schaff/encyc/encyc01/encyc01.thm   (11457 words)

CNS STORY: Is blue blood bad for holiness? Monarchs rarely make the cut The Catholic Church's calendar of saints does have a fair number of royal males, including: the Roman emperor St. Constantine, St. Stephen of Hungary, St. Louis IX of France, St. Henry II of Germany, St. Vladimir of Kiev and St. Edward the Confessor of England. The kings were declared saints before the 16th century when Pope Sixtus V centralized and codified the process for identifying and investigating the lives of those proposed for recognition by the universal church. Jesuit Father Paolo Molinari, one of the leading Catholic postulators, said he did not think monarchs were underrepresented at all, if one considers the percentage of monarchs among all Catholics. www.catholicnews.com /data/stories/cns/0404052.htm   (846 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saints Julian and Basilissa The confusion is easily explained by the fact that thirty-nine saints of this name are mentioned in the Roman Martyrology, eight of whom are commemorated in the one month of January. There used to exist at Constantinople a church under the invocation of these saints, the dedication of which is inscribed in the Greek Calendar under 5 July. In any ease these two saints must have enjoyed a great reputation in antiquity, and their veneration was well established before the eighth century. www.newadvent.org /cathen/08556b.htm   (846 words)

Canonization The Canonization of Saints is the process used by the Roman Catholic Church of recognizing those persons who have lived exemplary lives suitable of identifying them as Christian Saints. It also describes the Eastern Orthodox practice of adding the names of saints to the liturgical calendar and to their prayers. In Eastern Orthodoxy, canonization continues to be practiced much as it was during the first millennium of Christianity: people are recognized as saints primarily because they are seen to have preserved the image of God in themselves, and in that sense are living icons. www.websign.sk /ca/Canonized.html   (384 words)

The veneration of saints The-Tidings.com Saints were so much a part of the culture that there was a kind of firestorm of concern and anxiety when St. Christopher, patron of motorists whose medal was pinned inside thousands (and perhaps millions) of cars, was dropped from the liturgical calendar of the Roman Catholic Church in 1969. The veneration of saints has been an integral part of the church's life since the death of its first martyr, Stephen. As the great 20th-century Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner put it, the saints function as "the initiators and the creative models of the holiness which happens to be right for, and is the task of, their particular age. www.the-tidings.com /2001/0810/essays.htm   (205 words)
