INDEX ROMAN CATHOLICISM CATHOLICISM 312 CE October 28: Our favorite pushy people, the Romans, met at Augusta Taurinorum in northern Italy some even pushier people, to wit the legions of Constantine the Great — and the outcome of this would be an entirely new Pax Romana. While about to do battle against the legions of Maxentius which outnumbered his own 4 to 1, Constantine had a vision in which he saw a compound symbol (chi and rho , the beginning of ) appearing in the cloudy heavens,1 and heard “Under this sign you will be victorious.” He placed the symbol on his helmet and on the shields of his soldiers, and Maxentius’s horse threw him into the water at Milvan (Mulvian) Bridge and the Roman commander was drowned (what more could one ask God for?). 1. In a timeframe in which no real distinction was being made between astrology and astronomy, you will note, seeing a sign like this in the heavens may be classed as astronomy quite as readily as it may be classed as astrology.

GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP —> ROSE HAWTHORNE “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Rose Hawthorne HDT WHAT? INDEX ROSE HAWTHORNE MOTHER MARY ALPHONSA 1851 May 20, Tuesday: At the “little Red House” in Lenox, Massachusetts, Rose Hawthorne was born to Nathaniel Hawthorne and Sophia Peabody Hawthorne. At least subsequent to this period, it seems likely that Nathaniel and Sophia no longer had sexual intercourse, as Nathaniel has been characterized by one of his contemporaries as deficient “in the power or the will to show his love. He is the most undemonstrative person I ever knew, without any exception. It is quite impossible for me to imagine his bestowing the slightest caress upon Mrs. Hawthorne.” Sophia once commented about her husband that he “hates to be touched more than anyone I ever knew.” Presumably the Hawthornes gave up sexual intercourse for purposes of contraception, or perhaps because they found solitary or mutual masturbation to be more congenial, or perhaps, in Nathaniel’s case, because he preferred to have sex with prostitutes, a social practice of the times which Hawthorne referred to as “his illegitimate embraces,” rather than go to the trouble of arranging “blissful interviews” with his wife.1 Hawthorne was bothered by the presence of children, and after the birth of Rose would speak bitterly of the parent’s “duty to sacrifice all the green margin of our lives to these children” towards which he never felt the slightest “natural partiality”: [T]hey have to prove their claim to all the affection they get; and I believe I could love other people’s children better than mine, if I felt they deserved it more.

  • St. Thérèse and St. Alphonsa, a Comparative Study
    TERESIANUM 1-2009 OK 14-07-2009 9:22 Pagina 125 Teresianum 60 (2009) 125-144 St. Thérèse and St. Alphonsa, a Comparative Study SUNNY MANIAKKUNNEL, OCD On September 12, 2008 while the Synod of Bishops was going on in Rome, the Holy Father Benedict XVI, canonized Blessed Alphon- sa, the first woman Indian saint. The celebration was participated by many cardinals, bishops who were present for the Synod, and thou- sands of the people from all over the world. God gave India a saint who suffered much like St. Thérèse all through her life. Alphonsa’s canonization took place at a time when Indian Christians, who make up just over two percent of India’s billion-plus population, have come under fresh attacks from Hindu fundamentalist groups. It seems that St. Alphonsa who is also called the Little Flower of India would encourage the missionaries and Christians in the midst of their per- secution. Here we are trying to understand the life and spirituality of St. Alphonsa which had great similarity with St. Thérèse. Short biography Annakutty Muttathupadathu who became known as Alphonsa was born as the fourth child of Joseph and Mary of Muttathupadathu on August 19, 1910 at Kudamalur, Kerala, in the diocese of Changanacherry. Her father Joseph known as a Kuttan Vaidhyan was a traditional Indian doctor of Ayurdeva1 while her mother Mary was an ordinary house wife.2 Eight days after her birth she was baptized and she was given the name Annakutty, a diminutive of Anne. Her mother died three months after giving birth to Annakutty.
