Once I was a clever boy learning the arts of Oxford... is a quotation from the verses written by Bishop Richard Fleming (c.1385-1431) for his tomb in Lincoln Cathedral. Fleming, the founder of Lincoln College in Oxford, is the subject of my research for a D. Phil., and, like me, a son of the West Riding. I have remarked in the past that I have a deeply meaningful on-going relationship with a dead fifteenth century bishop... it was Fleming who, in effect, enabled me to come to Oxford and to learn its arts, and for that I am immensely grateful.

More about the 1622 canonisations


Gregory DiPippo has a post on the New Liturgical Movement about the canonisations of SS Isidore, Ignatius Loyola, Francis Xavier, Teresa of Avila and Philip Neri in 1622 which supplements and ties in very well with what I wrote yesterday about the event and its anniversary.

His piece can be seen at A Saint and Four Spaniards
