the_rev Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 AMS Publications is preparing their 6th Issue, "The Heart of Irish Catholics" What things should I include in such a publication?
Guest Eremite Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 (edited) St. Patrick? Maybe a little history on the private form of confession, which I believe first started in Ireland. Celtic cross. Our Lady of Knock. Maybe you could publish some of what the Holy Father said when he went to Ireland. ... Edited February 27, 2005 by Eremite
FutureSoror Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 I believe another Irish saint is St. Brenden.
God Conquers Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 St. Bridgid as well. Celtic spirituality and history.
Guest Eremite Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 The website says you're looking for people to submit articles for the magazine. I'd be interested in submitting one. Let me know... eremite_85@hotmail.com

the_rev Posted February 28, 2005 Author Posted February 28, 2005 I think this is a cool excerpt.... what do you think... [quote]The Christian era Beer really came into its own with the advent of the Christian era, largely through the influence of the monasteries which brewed and improved the beer. Monks often built the first breweries as pioneers of the hotel business, providing shelter, food and drink to pilgrims and other travellers. Three Christian saints are listed as patrons of brewing, all distinguished members of the Christian faith: Saint Augustine of Hippo, author of the confessions; Saint Luke the Evangelist; and Saint Nicholas of Myra, better known as Santa Claus. Other saints also had links with brewing. Saint Columban, doing missionary work in Germany, found people preparing to consume a cask of beer in a ceremony to a pagan god. He blew upon the case, which fell apart, and when the crowd became penitent he miraculously increased the small amount of beer left. Saint Bright is credited with changing water into beer to feed lepers. She personally brewed ale each Easter time to supply all of the churches in the neighbourhood. Saint Mungo, the patron saint of Scotland's oldest city, Glasgow, established a religious brotherhood there in 540 AD, and one of the brothers started brewing to supply the others. Brewing is still regarded as the oldest industry in Glasgow. Saint Patrick, according to Senchus Mor, the book of the ancient laws of Ireland (438-441 AD), numbered among his household a brewer - a priest called Mescan.

FiZzGiG Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Well, for English class I wrote an essay on the Irish-Celts and their conversion to Christianity. Here's my thesis if it's any interest to you: The Irish-Celts’ long-practiced paganism aided, rather than hindered, their conversion to Christianity; through themes and motifs in Celtic myth and through St. Patrick’s use of inculturation, the Celts could understand and relate to Christian beliefs. What I mean by inculturation, is that Patrick used parts of Celtic society and belief to form Christian belief. For example: he attributed the Celtic sun god to Jesus Christ--the true Sun (or son!). This sun god had 12 sub-gods, which Patrick attributed to the apostles. I dunno, I thought the stuff was interesting. I have a few websites if you want them. GO IRISH-CATHOLICS!! teehee
Aloysius Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 woa, the "Church of Ireland" is NOT Catholic. it's a branch of anglicanism... watchout!
