When thinking of last Sunday's canonizations: two saints known for helping migrants, one an Italian-Argentine like Francis himself,it is hard not to consider how captain's calls may guide Catholicism for better or worse.
How interesting in our times to remember a saint today (Oct 12) chiefly remembered for dealing a deathblow to the Celtic rites and practices for the sake of church unity. Despite himself being educated at Lindisfarne.
Comparisons always fall short of course- signs, symbols, appearances and customs were probably bigger and,in many ways, different statements in Wilfred's age than the twenty-first century.
"Holding back the years. Nothing hear had grown"
As a thought that follows so- I'm not sure what John XXIII would have thought of his own feast being celebrated yesterday, a day when a major Marian commemoration was celebrated in his day. Cancelled in the post-Council liturgy. Unity also?
now-St. Artémide Zatti did apparently grow up in an environment of lapsed religion and anticlericalism among Italian immigrants in Argentina, including their own migrant relations. Perhaps we can assume that this was part His Holiness' meditation in Sunday?
Unlikely that many baby boys will given his name at any rate. WILFRED more attractive in that way.
