...Christopher, St. Nicholas (the original Santa Claus) and England's patron St. George. Now English Roman Catholics are about to recapture some of their lost ground: Pope Paul VI is planning to canonize 40 Roman Catholic martyrs who were condemned to agonizing deaths on the orders of Anglican rulers in the 16th and 17th centuries. The canonization plans have raised fears that the cause of ecumenism in Britain may be sacrificed at the stake...
Honor Where Due. However, arguments for and against canonization cross religious lines. The Archbishop was taken to task by some of the Anglican clergy for interfering in Catholic affairs. Said the Dean of Prescot at Lancashire: "The recollection and commemoration of men and women who died for genuine religious convictions will hearten not only Catholics but many others." Oxford's A.

It's the old voice leading that gives it the countermelodies and adds all those classical devices which are not right out there, but they add a little texture. If you look at Bach's three or four hundred chorales, you'll find every rule and every kind of chord that's ever been...
...painting of such an event is one of the illustrations in Alan Moorehead's book. Depicted as a drab civilian among the scarlet naval persons present, the ship's naturalist, Charles Darwin, also clutches a Bible. The Beagle's Bibles contained an annotation dictated by the Anglican Archbishop Ussher, firmly stating that the Creation began promptly at 9 a.m., Oct. 23, 4004 B.C. After a five-year voyage, Darwin would show that the bishop could have been wrong by God alone knew how many million years. The Beagle (242 tons) would sink the Ark (of unknown displacement...
