St. Margaret of Cortona, the mediaeval Magdalen, was not precisely a wanton, or an "abandoned woman," but a girl who fell through excessive gayety, and over-great affection. She lived nine years with her lover "in defiance of law and convention," the only mitigation of her sin being her constant hope of lawful marriage with the man who had deluded her. He was murdered, his promise remaining unfulfilled. But his death was the occasion of the conversion of Margaret. Her reversion to virtue and to God was characteristically whole-hearted. She fought her way through many temptations, gave her life to the poor, outdoing them in voluntary poverty; merited admission to the third order of St. Francis, and died a saint. Her "legend" by her confessor, Fra Giunta, is given with the delicious simplicity and naïveté of the early Franciscan chroniclers. The introduction to it, in seventy-five pages, by Father Cuthbert, is an admirable little treatise on her religious psychology, with not a little unobtrusive moralizing. The contrast between the modern touch of Father Cuthbert and the mediaeval artlessness of Fra Giunta, is most striking, but each in his own way is extremely enjoyable. –Catholic World, Volume 8 Free Traditional Catholic Books - Catholic Tradition Indeed weve grown so accustomed to comfort and ease of life that the mere idea of the penances and sufferings of the saints of old (or even modern ones like St Photographic Collection Index The Warburg Institute INTRODUCTION The Photographic Collection of the Warburg Institute was like the Library originally the private collection of Aby Warburg At the time of his death Blasphemy - Encyclopedia Volume - Catholic Encyclopedia BLASPHEMY IN CIVIL LAW Blasphemy cognizable by common law is defined by Blackstone to be "denying the being or providence of God contumelious reproaches of our Women of History - A A Aadland Beverly Elaine-(1942 - 2010) American film actress Beverly Aadland was born (Sept 16 1942) in Hollywood California As a teenage girl she became a
