    Chapter 2 Saints and Celebrities Tine Van Osselaer In Autumn 1871, the French doctor Antoine Imbert-Gourbeyre embarked on a journey to visit Palma Matarrelli (1825–1888). In a description of this visit, he insisted that he had seen her forehead bleed spontaneously, and that he had witnessed two miraculous communions and the divine fire twice. According to Imbert-Gourbeyre, none of these phenomena could be simulated, it was all supernatural in origin and he was willing to testify about what he had seen.1 He was not alone in his enthusiasm as Matarrelli was famous throughout Italy and abroad, and many thought of her as divinely “blessed.” Four years later, in 1875, Imbert-Gourbeyre’s enthusiasm faced the cold Vatican reality when the verdict of the book censors left no doubt about the fate of Les stigmatisées, volume II: Palma d’Oria, his hagiography of Matarrelli. “[He must] behave as a good Catholic, and make sure that his work no longer circulates and does not appear in a second edition.” With this condemnation, the book fared worse than the first volume of Les stigmatisées, which had fo- cused on the Belgian stigmatic, Louise Lateau (1850–1883). According to the censors, the first volume did “not present anything dangerous, or immoral, only extravagant and partially admissible things […].”2 Although the Vatican generally adopted a critical stance towards stigmatics, the censorship of the French doctor’s book was exceptional, as only a few books on stigmatics caught the Vatican’s attention.3 However, Imbert-Gourbeyre’s enthusiasm for Louise 1 Imbert-Gourbeyre, Les Stigmatisées: Palma d’Oria, 3, 28, 62.

  • Populair En/Of Kwaliteit? De Vlaamse Pers Over De Zaak-Dutroux Jan
    Populair en/of kwaliteit? De Vlaamse pers over de zaak-Dutroux Jan Manssens Stefaan Walgrave 1 december 1998 2 1 Inleiding: de pers ter discussie Het zijn boeiende tijden voor wetenschappers die de Vlaamse pers gade- slaan. Na de introductie van de Vlaamse commerciële televisie, nu al bijna 10 jaar geleden, en het getrek en geduw dat daarmee gepaard ging, is het debat stilaan verschoven naar andere en interessantere domeinen. Het is vooral de geschreven pers die momenteel de aandacht trekt. Het gaat dan onder meer om de maatschappelijke en wetenschappelijke discussie over de rol van de pers in de Witte Mars, over het probleem van de nieuwsconstruc- tie en om de vragen die de ontzuiling en de commerciële concentratiebewe- ging doet rijzen. Elders beschreven we hoe de Vlaamse pers op 20 oktober 1996 de klassie- ke mobilisatietheorie in de wind zette en er mee voor zorgde dat 300.000 mensen in de Witte Mars door Brussel opstapten (Walgrave & Manssens, 1998). De traditioneel mobiliserende middenveld-machinerie was in geen velden of wegen te bekennen en bewegingswatchers gaven vooraf dan ook geen cent voor een geslaagde manifestatie. Het politieke signaal dat van de witte massa uitging, was even groot als de sociologenconsternatie achteraf: hun traditionele mobilisatieschema’s leken aan herziening toe. De pers functioneerde in de periode vlak voor de Witte Mars als een virtueel mid- denveld dat de taken en functies van de traditionele mobilisatie-organisaties overnam. Vooral in Vlaanderen heeft de pers op de emotionele golf van de tragische gebeurtenissen een politiek evenement gecreëerd. Dat is iets wat ook Pol Deltour - journalist van De Morgen en lid van de Raad voor Deon- tologie van de Journalistenbond AVBB – stelt (Deltour, 1998, 17).

  • Church Bells. Part 1. Rev. Robert Eaton Batty
    CHURCH BELLS BY THE REV. ROBERT EATON BATTY, M.A. The Church Bell — what a variety of associations does it kindle up — how closely is it connected with the most cherished interests of mankind! And not only have we ourselves an interest in it, but it must have been equally interesting to those who were before us, and will pro- bably be so to those who are yet to come. It is the Churchman's constant companion — at its call he first enters the Church, then goes to the Daily Liturgy, to his Con- firmation, and his first Communion. Is he married? — the Church bells have greeted him with a merry peal — has he passed to his rest? — the Church bells have tolled out their final note. From a very early period there must have been some contrivance, whereby the people might know when to assemble themselves together, but some centuries must have passed before bells were invented for a religious purpose. Trumpets preceded bells. The great Day of Atonement amongst the Jews was ushered in with the sound of the trumpet; and Holy Writ has stamped a solemn and lasting character upon this instrument, when it informs us that "The Trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised." The Prophet Hosea was com- manded to "blow the cornet in Gibeah and the trumpet in Ramah;" and Joel was ordered to "blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm." The cornet and trumpet seem to be identical, as in the Septuagint both places are expressed by σαλπισατε σαλπιγγι.
