Who is Saint Robert Bellarmine?
When Robert was ordained in 1570, the study of Church history and the fathers of the Church was in a sad state of neglect. A promising scholar from his youth in Tuscany, he devoted his energy to these two subjects, as well as to Scripture, in order to systematize Church doctrine against the attacks of the Protestant Reformers.
He was made a cardinal by Pope Clement VIII on the grounds that โhe had not his equal for learning.โ While he occupied apartments in the Vatican, Bellarmine relaxed none of his former austerities. He limited his household expenses to what was barely essential, eating only the food available to the poor. He was known to have ransomed a soldier who had deserted from the army and he used the hangings of his rooms to clothe poor people, remarking, โThe walls wonโt catch cold.โ
Among many activities, Bellarmine became theologian to Pope Clement VIII, preparing two catechisms which have had great influence in the Church. His most famous work is his three-volume Disputations on the Controversies of the Christian Faith.
Who is Saint Hildegard?
Abbess, artist, author, composer, mystic, pharmacist, poet, preacher, theologianโwhere to begin in describing this remarkable woman?
When Hildegard was 18, she became a Benedictine nun at the Monastery of Saint Disibodenberg. Ordered by her confessor to write down the visions that she had received since the age of three, Hildegard took ten years to write her Scivias (Know the Ways). Pope Eugene III read it, and in 1147, encouraged her to continue writing. Her Book of the Merits of Life and Book of Divine Works followed. She wrote over 300 letters to people who sought her advice; she also composed short works on medicine & physiology, and sought advice from contemporaries such as Saint Bernard of Clairvaux.
During his papacy, Pope Benedict XVI said, โLet us always invoke the Holy Spirit, so that he may inspire in the Church holy and courageous women like Saint Hildegard of Bingen who, developing the gifts they have received from God, make their own special and valuable contribution to the spiritual development of our communities and of the Church in our time.โ
