Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Clever and incisive squib." -Scotsman ."It is hard to say whether this little volume is most clever or amusing. Certainly it unites the two qualities in no ordinary degree.... The author's satire is never bitter, while his sketches of the different shades of clerical opinion are genuinely humorous. 'The Prig' is perfectly acquainted with the weakness of the position held up to ridicule, and the book is written with real ability." - Morning Post. ."The delicate suggestiveness of the wit is admirable.... Who but the Prig would bring the idea of the new saints to birth at a meat tea! Or, &c, &c. Long live the Prig." -Western Morning News. ."Genuine fun to the last page. We have left ourselves space only to send our readers to the book itself. . . . We feel quite sure that wherever these capital little books are read, there too will be laughter holding its sides." -Dublin Review. ."There are some smart hits.... Very excellent fooling, and the 'Prig' cannot be charged with unfairness in his selections of the names he assumes to be proposed for canonization." -Church Times. ."Smartly written." -Saturday Review. ."Whether the reader does or does not enjoy the Prig's lively "skit" will depend a good deal on his theological predilections. It relates how the Rev. Kentigern Maniple is impressed by the anomaly that every saint in the Prayer-Book was a Roman Catholic, and that the Roman Church has gone on enriching her calendar with saints who lived in modern times, while the English Church has never canonized a saint since the Reformation. So he organizes the Society for the Promotion of Anglican Saints and sets about supplying the deficiency. There is considerable wit in the account of the trial that followed Mr. Maniple's attempt at canonization, and in the decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, to whom the question finally came for settlement, that while the term "saint" was inadmissible as a posthumous title, the term "poor" was entirely proper. So it was ordered that from the statues of the subjects for canonization the word "poor" should be substituted for "saint" -" Poor Richard Hooker, Poor William Laud, Poor Samuel Johnson, and Poor Hannah More," because "members of the Church of England had been in the habit of speaking of their departed friends as 'poor so-and-so' with impunity from time immemorial." But the Prig might be in better business. -The Literary World.

Download or read book Making Saints written by Kenneth L. Woodward and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From inside the Vatican, the book that became a modern classic on sainthood in the Catholic Church. Working from church documents, Kenneth Woodward shows how saint-makers decide who is worthy of the church's highest honor. He describes the investigations into lives of candidates, explains how claims for miracles are approved or rejected, and reveals the role politics -- papal and secular -- plays in the ultimate decision. From his examination of such controversial candidates as Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador and Edith Stein, a Jewish philosopher who became a nun and was gassed at Auschwitz, to his insights into the changes Pope John Paul II has instituted, Woodward opens the door on a 2,000-year-old tradition.

Download or read book Making and remaking saints in nineteenth century Britain written by Gareth Atkins and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the place of 'saints' and sanctity in a self-consciously modern age, and argues that Protestants were as fascinated by such figures as Catholics were. Long after the mechanisms of canonisation had disappeared, people continued not only to engage with the saints of the past but continued to make their own saints in all but name. Just as strikingly, it claims that devotional practices and language were not the property of orthodox Christians alone. Making and remaking saints in the nineteenth-century Britain explores for the first time how sainthood remained significant in this period both as an enduring institution and as a metaphor that could be transposed into unexpected contexts. Each of the chapters in this volume focuses on the reception of a particular individual or group, and together they will appeal to not only historians of religion, but those concerned with material culture, the cult of history, and with the reshaping of British identities in an age of faith and doubt.

Download or read book Making Martyrs East and West written by Cathy Caridi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, Catholics in the Western world and the Orthodox in Russia have venerated certain saints as martyrs. In many cases, both churches recognize as martyrs the same individuals who gave their lives for Jesus Christ. On the surface, it appears that while the external liturgical practices of Catholics and Russian Orthodox may vary, the fundamental theological understanding of what it means to be a martyr, and what it means to canonize a saint, are essentially the same. But are they? In Making Martyrs East and West, Caridi examines how the practice of canonization developed in the West and in Russia, focusing on procedural elements that became established requirements for someone to be recognized as a saint and a martyr. She investigates whether the components of the canonization process now regarded as necessary by the Catholic Church are fundamentally equivalent to those of the Russian Orthodox Church, and vice versa, while exploring the possibility that the churches use the same terminology and processes, but in fundamentally different ways that preclude the acceptance of one church's saints by the other. Caridi examines official church documents and numerous canonization records, collecting and analyzing information from several previously untapped medieval Russian sources. Her highly readable study is the first to focus on the historical documentation on canonization specifically for juridical significance. It will appeal to scholars of religion and church history, as well as ecumenicists, liturgists, canonists, and those interested in East-West ecumenical efforts.
