That thesis also made me more enthusiastic about the history of the Vikings, and especially the Vikings who entered the Mediterranean. In the History Channel series Vikings, Björn Ironside decides to go towards the Mediterranean, and I was wondering in what why this affected the status of Vikings. While reading literature about this conquest, there was not a clear matter to investigate. Continuing reading, the matter of the Normans who settled in Italy came across. The literature made it clear, on some levels, why the Normans came to Italy.

  • East and West: Cultural Dissonance and the “Great Schism of 1054”
    1 East and West: Cultural Dissonance and the “Great Schism of 1054” Margaret Trenchard-Smith, Loyola Marymount University Perception is an overwhelming force. Collective perceptions can be contra-factual. The memories of individuals, of institutions, often magnify the inconsequential, distort or omit. A failure of memory can be total, through accident or deliberate oblivion. Shared recollections and the narratives they form shape perceptions. Yet even when these things are faulty, they can have as much force as if they were sound—just as the effects of a rumor can be as damaging when false as when founded in fact.1 The “Great Schism of 1054” is perceived by many to be the momentous event that resulted in the permanent sundering of the “Western” Roman Catholic and “Eastern” Orthodox branches of Christendom.2 Factually, however, there is a problem with this perception, since it can plausibly be argued on technical and practical grounds (and has been argued by scholars like Francis Dvornik and Steven Runciman) that no schism occurred in 1054—certainly not the “Great Schism.”3 The perception of schism came about through cultural dissonance and alienation East and West which grew until at last the divorce became reality. When precisely that happened, however, is unclear. If not in 1054, when did the formal schism of the Great Church occur? Did it occur? From whose perspective, and by what criteria? There is no scholarly consensus on these questions.4 Please bear in mind that this paper has been written by an historian, not a theologian. These

  • St. Peter Damian Catholic.Net
    St. Peter Damian Catholic.net Roman Martyrology: Saint Peter Damian, Cardinal Bishop of Ostia and Doctor of the Church. He entered the hermitage of Fonte Avellana, vigorously promoted the religious life and, during difficult times for promoting the reform of the Church, he firmly called back monks to the holiness of contemplation, clergy to integrity of life and the people to communion with the Apostolic See. He passed away at Faenza in Flaminia on 22nd February. SHORT BIOGRAPHY Maybe because he was orphaned and had been treated shabbily by one of his brothers, Peter Damian was very good to the poor. It was the ordinary thing for him to have a poor person or two with him at table and he liked to minister personally to their needs. Peter escaped poverty and the neglect of his own brother when his other brother, who was archpriest of Ravenna, took him under his wing. His brother sent him to good schools and Peter became a professor. Already in those days Peter was very strict with himself. He wore a hair shirt under his clothes, fasted rigorously and spent many hours in prayer. Soon, he decided to leave his teaching and give himself completely to prayer with the Benedictines of the reform of St. Romuald (June 19) at Fonte Avellana. They lived two monks to a hermitage. Peter was so eager to pray and slept so little that he soon suffered from severe insomnia. He found he had to use some prudence in taking care of himself. When he was not praying, he studied the Bible.

  • Diocese of Marsia Cpiedpag
    FRANCO FRANCESCO ZAZZARA THE DIOCESE OF MARSIA THE DIOCESES WITH BISHOPS IN THE REIGN OF THE TWO SICILY’S Historical notes gathered together, with annotations, written for The Abbot VINCENZIO D’AVINO 1848 – THE DIOCESE OF MARSIA By D’ALESSANDRO BIAGIO, Canonic Priest. (“translated” into current Italian by Franco Francesco Zazzara and Christian) (English translation by L.L. Crandall) In the year 1848 a Parish Priest of the Cathedral of the Diocese of Marsia, Biagio D’Alessandro, mayhap the best lettered man, wrote a few pages about the history of his Diocese, to be inserted in the “ Enciclopedia dell’Ecclesiastico” (the Ecclesiastic Encyclopedia) which the Abbot of Campania Vincenzio D’Avino had printed. Under the title of “ Cenni storici sulle Chiese Arcivescovili, Vescovili e Prelatizie del Regno delle Due Sicilie” (‘Historical comments on the Archbishops’, Bishops’ and Prelates’ Churches belonging in the Reign of the Two Sicily’s’), the “Histories” of all the Dioceses of the Realm have been drawn from the Ecclesiastic Encyclopedia and, among these, also that of the Diocese of Marsia, which I have ‘translated’ into the modern tongue, after my discovery (through a search with Google), of the above-mentioned book in the library of the University of Harvard. With precise yet concise argumentations the parish priest D’Alessandro draws a surprising passage from the beginnings of the Faith in Christ among the Marsian people, with the preaching of the Gospel by St. Mark of Galilee, who was anointed Bishop by St. Peter and who died in the year 96 after Christ at Atina in the Frosinone area, up until his own times.
