	Bede - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bede became known as Venerable Bede soon after his death, but this was not linked to consideration for sainthood by the Roman Catholic Church.

		Bede made a new calculation of the age of the earth and began the practice of dividing the Christian era into BC and AD.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Venerable Bede
		Bede's influence both upon English and foreign scholarship was very great, and it would probably have been greater still but for the devastation inflicted upon the Northern monasteries by the inroads of the Danes less than a century after his death.
		Bede's exegetical writings both in his own idea and in that of his contemporaries stood supreme in importance among his works, but the list is long and cannot fully be given here.
		Venerable Bede is the earliest witness of pure Gregorian tradition in England.

		There we learn that Bede was orphaned at seven (he was born in 673), placed in the care of the Benedictine monks at the Abbey of Wearmouth in Northumbria, and a little later was sent to Jarrow, a nearby sisterabbey.
		Bede drew his facts, he tells us, from "ancient documents, from the traditions of our forebears, and from my own personal knowledge, " and his book is a rich mine of detailed, accurate information about every aspect of early English life, especially the missionary efforts of Augustine and the others who Christianized the country.
		Remembered with respect for centuries as "the Venerable Bede," the good monk received a greater title in 1899, when Pope Leo XIII approved the popular veneration of Saint Bede and declared him a Doctor of the Church.

		Bede also based his narrative on papal archives, and relied on the testimony of "countless faithful witnesses who either knew or remember[ed] the facts." (7) Although he included many miracle stories in the History, he used only those which were verified by several sources or by extremely trustworthy sources.

		The Venerable Bede, Anglo-Saxon England's most prolific Latin author and one of the greatest of the early Middle Ages, was born either in 672 or in 673, in the kingdom of Northumbria.
		Yet, unlike some of his predecessors, Bede directed this kind of allegorical approach into decidedly pastoral channels, his aim being to adapt the moral message of the biblical text to the spiritual lives of his audience.
		In 836, the leaders of the Council of Aachen imparted to Bede the same authoritative status as given to earlier Fathers, and in 1899, Pope Leo XIII decreed that he should have the status of doctor ecclesiae, of a universal Doctor of the Church.
