Beatification is now the first step toward canonization, but at one time there was no marked difference between the two processes. Sts. Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua were canonized within a year or two of their deaths. It was Pope Urban VIII who settled (by decrees of 1625 and 1634) the modern practice of differentiation. The process is threefold: the reputation for sanctity must be established, the heroic quality of the virtues must be shown, the working of miracles must be proven. After beatification, in order to qualify for canonization, miracles must be performed. The procedure, therefore...
...Irish Franciscans are appealing for the first time in our 700 years of history for help. We are rebuilding our church [of St. Anthony of Padua] that has been four times destroyed in times of persecution.

The Taming of the Shrew is Douglas Fairbanks' first all-talking picture and the first picture in which he has ever appeared with Mary Pickford. His lusty voice, individual because it has never been trained, makes the voices...
...birds and an occasional cadaver. But these things it penetrated so shrewdly that the doctor had an idea. It was not, solely, his idea, but rather an astounding improvement on the theories of his teacher, Dr. Hieronymus Fabricius of Aquapendente. This doctor lectured at the school of physic at Padua, Italy, and the inquisitively inclined can still visit the great carved room where Dr. Harvey first heard from Dr. Fabricius of the valves he had discovered in the veins. But Dr. Fabricius was foggy on one point. In common with other great medical minds of his time he believed blood...
