But there are those who would have you believe that it can be easy and SICK LIST then they compound the lie to tell you that you can have this easy life by Andrew Akash freeing yourself from the real burdens of life, which are the rules of society and Harold Bates the abandonment of God. Freed from those things, your life can be wonderful! Antonino Cavataio But like every lie, the goal is to hide the truth. Therefore, if you wish to find Famy Cusumano the truth, reverse the lie. The mistake that is often made is that people seek Kate DeSmet to argue against the proposed merits of the lie. When that happens, you get Jack Devereaux caught in a vortex of confusion, because the lie keeps moving on to the next lie until you simply give up. But what if instead of arguing, you simply turned the Maryann Devereaux lie around and asked yourself what makes most sense? Take for example the Tyler Fina statement that life can be easy. So, turn it and say that life is not easy. Now Betsy Fisch what make most sense to you? So, if the first statement is a lie, everything Joe Giancarli that flows from it must also be a lie. Joann Gozdor Take, for example, another common lie, that you can have what ever you Joel Holland want if you want it bad enough. Turn it around and it becomes, you can’t have Richard Jakubec what you want even if you want it bad enough. Now, we may not like that, but Casey Jones it is true. Simply “wanting” something is not enough. There are other factors. Rosalynn Kettner For example, I many want to be an NBA basketball player, but the fact the I David Koczara don’t really have the talent to be one precludes my desire. I couldn’t practice Jesse Malczyk enough to make it to the NBA. I simply lack the talent and the size. I may Carmella Martz want to be President of the United States, but I can’t because I was not born in Ron Mazza this country. You see, wanting is not enough, we must face the limitations that Pamela Mleczko are found within reality. Rosalie Petz God knows the truth.

  • St. George in Legend and Verse
    ____________________________________________________ St. George in Legend and Verse Jacob William LeMaster University of Florida Faculty mentor: Florin Curta, Department of History Abstract This paper investigates the emergence of the cultus of a medieval saint, St. George of Cappadocia, and correlates the production of legend with variations of the saint’s passio. It then considers the form of relics in relation to the narrative of their translationes. This is accomplished by examining the political context in which they were translated by Archbishop Hatto of Mainz and the Holy Roman Emperor. It concludes with an exploration of the variations on George’s cultus on the Reichenau monastic center and presents an updated English translation of the late ninth or tenth century Georgslied. Keywords: St. George, Reichenau, Hatto I, Georgslied, cult of the saints, relics The Emergence of the Cultus and its Liturgical Foundations In the earliest written accounts of the life and salvific death of St. George of Cappadocia, he was not yet known as a dragon-slayer nor, as he would be more immediately known, as a military hero. Franciscan friar and leading figure of the Bollandists Francis Delehaye described the legends and stories attributed to him as a “sort of Monte Testaccio” – that is, like a mound compiled from broken shards of ancient pottery (Walker, 2003, p. 111). According to Karl Krumbacher (1911), each one of the five variants of George’s passiones known (and probably produced) in the sixth century mention his soldiering, but the focus in these texts is on the physical suffering involved in his martyrdom. Large-scale veneration of the saint by localized clusters of the faithful emerged early, and the earliest evidence of the cultus can be found in in the Greek-speaking eastern edge of the Roman Empire, centered around his tomb in Lydda (Diospolis).

    1 Simon MacLean Dept of Mediaeval History, 71 South St, St Andrews, Fife KY16 9AL Insinuation, Censorship and the Struggle for Late Carolingian Lotharingia in Regino of Prüm’s Chronicle* In the early middle ages historiography was a self-justifying genre. History, being true, was its own virtue, and as such valued for the spiritual, scriptural and political truths it could reveal to the present.1 Yet at the same time it often provided a vehicle for more specific political argument, since the people who wrote it were members of educated elites whose careers almost inevitably involved them in intrigue and conflict. For example, Guy Halsall has recently shown how profoundly the method and narrative strategies of the late-sixth-century historian Gregory of Tours were affected by the delicate political situation in which he wrote, and in particular by his fear of the * For their advice and criticism I gratefully acknowledge the help of Stuart Airlie, Matthew Innes, Julia Smith and Jinty Nelson. This article was completed with the help of a Research Leave grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council. 1 For discussion see Y. Hen and M. Innes, eds., The Uses of the Past in the Early Middle Ages (Cambridge, 2000); R. McKitterick, History and Memory in the Carolingian World (Cambridge, 2004); W.

K. Chesterton. To the many people who have supported me before, during and after this thesis, thank you. I would not have been able to begin the project without the support of Julia Smith, Stuart Airlie, Rosamond McKitterick and Ian Wood. The whole process was made far more pleasant and intellectually stimulating by the company of Leeds’ early medievalists and the CMRP and T&I groups, as well as a very gracious examination by Julia Barrow and Stuart Airlie. Many errors still remain and, while I am uncertain whether I can be held wholly responsible for all of them, they certainly do not belong to any of these fine people. This thesis explores the varying ways in which otherness was imagined and constructed in two clusters of medieval missionary texts: Rimbert’s Vita Anskarii and Adam of Bremen’s Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum, from the archdiocese of Hamburg-Bremen; and Bruno of Querfurt’s Passio Sancti Adalberti episcopi et martyris, Vita vel passio Benedicti et Iohannis sociorumque suorum and Epistola ad Heinricum Regem.
