And relatively young still !

It's a terrible sign of age when even Archbishops start looking young!

 

[natefaith]

And relatively young still !

I was thinking the same!

Best wishes as he takes on this new post with all its responsibilities.

The current archbishop Julián Barrio was only 49 when he became archbishop of Santiago. Apparently at the time the youngest in Spain.

My heart opened up when I read of this appointment and I am not even Catholic or Christian.
And even more pleasing that he comes from Ourense - one of my (many) favourite places on Sanabrés. I feel the Camino is in good hands - I hope this feeling is validated.
But what is this Pathological Theology in which he has his degree? Or is my phone’s translate function pulling my leg.

Google Translate gives me a more conventional translation - "patristic theology". Maybe your phone has entered into the spirit of April 1st?

Can someone give the correct translation. Now I am curious.

I had never seen the term Patristics before and had only a vague idea of who the Church Fathers would be (no Church Mothers are known - no access to higher education for them in those days …).

There is a long list on Wikipedia List of Church Fathers. I recognised only a few names: Hilary of Poitiers (year of death: 367); Isidore of Seville (636) and Martin of Tours (397) - he is the Saint Martin who cut his coat in two to share it with a poor man. On my way to Santiago, I had walked through the areas and towns where they had lived and even saw or visited churches where they had taught or rather the churches standing on the same location.They were instrumental in shaping future thinking and the course this small continent would take. It was quite amazing to be so ”close” and know that these distant influential figures had been ”real” once.
