He came up with the idea of trying to sell his recipe to area resturants to make extra money (We know the Lord plants the vision).

Nicene And Post-Nicene Fathers, Series II, Vol. XII
Introduction to the life and writings of St. Leo the Great, from the Nicene and PostNicene Fathers of the christian Church, second series, vol. 12. By Charles Lett Feltoe.
http://www.ccel.org/fathers2/NPNF2-12/Npnf2-12-04.htm

Extractions: Introduction Introduction Life The details of Leo's early life are extremely scanty and uncertain. It is probable that he was born between 390 and 400a.d.There is a tradition that his father was a Tuscan named Quintian, and that Volaterrae , a town in the north of Etruria, was his birthplace. Of his youth we know nothing: his writings contain no allusions to that or to any other part of his personal history. One may reasonably infer from the essentially Roman character of his literary style, from the absence of quotations out of pagan literature, and from his self-confessed ignorance of Greek, that his education was, though thorough after its kind, limited to Christian and Latin culture. A reference to the pages of any secular history of the Roman empire will give the reader an idea of the scenes amidst which, and no doubt by the aid of which, Leo the boy was formed and moulded into Leo Magnus, the first great Latin-speaking pope and bishop of Rome, the first great Italian theologian, "the final defender of the truth of our Lord's Person against both its assailants " (i.e. Nestorius and Eutyches), whom it pleased God in His providence to raise up in the Western (and not as oftenest hitherto in the Eastern) portion of His Church. Politically, intellectually, and theologically the period in which this great character grew up, lived and worked, was one of transition: the Roman Empire, learning and thought, paganism were each alike at the last gasp, and neither in Church nor State was there any other at all of Leo's calibre, This consideration will account for the wonderful influence, partly for good and partly for bad, which his master-mind and will was permitted to exercise on the after-ages of Christendom.

Nicene And Post-Nicene Fathers, Series II, Vol. IX
Lengthy (379K) overview of the life and writings of St. Hilary, and his theology. By E.W. Watson. With notes. From the Nicene and PostNicene Fathers of the christian Church, second series, vol. 9.
http://www.ccel.org/fathers2/NPNF2-09/Npnf2-09-03.htm

Extractions: Introduction Introduction Chapter I.-The Life and Writings of St. Hilary of Poitiers. St. Hilary of Poitiers is one of the greatest, yet least studied, of the Fathers of the Western Church. He has suffered thus, partly from a certain obscurity in his style of writing, partly from the difficulty of the thoughts which he attempted to convey. But there are other reasons for the comparative neglect into which he has fallen. He learnt his theology, as we shall see, from Eastern authorities, and was not content to carry on and develop the traditional teaching of the West; and the disciple of Origen, who found his natural allies in the Cappadocian school of Basil and the Gregories , his juniors though they were, was speaking to somewhat unsympathetic ears. Again, his Latin tongue debarred him from influence in the East, and he suffered, like all Westerns, from that deep suspicion of Sabellianism which was tooted in the Eastern Churches. Nor are these the only reasons for the neglect of Hilary. Of his two chief works, the Homilies on the Psalms, important as they were in popularising the allegorical method of interpretation, were soon outdone in favour by other commentaries; while his great controversial work on the Trinity suffered from its very perfection for the purpose with which it was composed. It seems, at first sight, to be not a refutation of Arianism, or of any particular phase of Arianism, but of one particular document, the Epistle of Arius to Alexander, in which Arian doctrines are expressed; and that a document which, in the constantly shifting phases of the controversy, soon fell into an oblivion which the work of Hilary has nearly shared. It is only incidentally constructive; its plan follows, in the central portion, that of the production of Arius which he was controverting, and this negative method must have lessened its popularity for purposes of practical instruction, and in competition with such a masterpiece as the
The Incarnation: Christian Writers Of The Second Century
Did christian Writers of the Second Century believe in the Incarnation?1 Ancient christian Writers Westminster, Md. Newman Press, 1952, vol. 16.
http://www.tertullian.org/rpearse/incarnation.html

Extractions: Did Christian Writers of the Second Century believe in the Incarnation? Note: This page was written after I stumbled across some remarks about Minucius Felix in usenet. This in turn led me to a page by a Mr. E. Doherty, at his site at http://www.jesuspuzzle.com entitled The Jesus Puzzle: Was there no historical Jesus? : The Second Century Apologists . I gather Mr. Doherty has also published a book of this title. The statements made appear to be an attempt to reintroduce the ideas of F.C.Baur and the 19th century Tübingen school of theology, discredited since 1936. After reading some of the responses on the 'net to Mr. Doherty's article, I felt that the debate would benefit from some concrete data. The volume of material to be handled has made it a lengthy and difficult task to reduce to the essential facts. The politicised nature of everything to do with Christian origins has made it necessary to at least mention theories that otherwise seem rather manufactured. Likewise many uneducated people start by adopting a stance which suits their opinions, and stray 'quotes' are then used to 'support' it. This page is written rather to assemble the data, and to treat the question as open, until all the evidence is reviewed. I hope that you will do the same, and will find this useful, whatever your opinions. How can we find out objectively what these people actually thought? The only method I can think of is to let the data drive the investigation, and to avoid making judgements about the data where possible, at least until we know what it says. Otherwise we end up inventing a pet theory, and then looking for 'quotes' to prop it up! So I have attempted to examine the remains of their works, see what these are about, and see if they address the issue one way or the other.

There must be some amount of uncertainty on this point, from the fact that no direct statement exists to clear it up, and that the word patriz II.-Education. The place most closely connected with St. Basil's early years is neither Caesarea nor Neocaesarea, but an insignificant village not far from the latter place, where he was brought up by his admirable grandmother Macrina. In this neighbourhood his family had considerable property, and here he afterwards resided. The estate was at Annesi on the river Iris (Jekil-Irmali), and lay in the neighbourhood of scenery of romantic beauty. Basil's own description of his retreat on the opposite side of the Iris matches the reference of Gregory of Nazianzus to the narrow glen among lofty mountains, which keep it always in shadow and darkness, while far below the river foams and roars in its narrow precipitous bed. There is some little difficulty in understanding the statement of Basil in Letter Cckvi., that the house of his brother Peter, which he visited in 375, and which we may assume to have been on the family property (

Undoubtedly this revolution started in the U.S with strong titles from Frank Peretti, Francine Rivers and Ted Dekker.

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... F > Fathers of the Church A B C D ... CICDC - Home of the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan Patristic Study The word Father is used in the New Testament to mean a teacher of spiritual things, by whose means the soul of man is born again into the likeness of Christ : "For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus , by the gospel, I have begotten you. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ" (I Cor., iv, 15, 16; cf. Gal., iv, 19). The first teachers of Christianity seem to be collectively spoken of as "the Fathers" (II Peter, iii, 4). Thus St. Irenaeus defines that a teacher is a father, and a disciple is a son (iv, 41,2), and so says Clement of Alexandria (Strom., I, i, 1). A bishop is emphatically a "father in Christ", both because it was he, in early times, who baptized all his flock, and because he is the chief teacher of his church. But he is also regarded by the early Fathers, such as Hegesippus, Irenaeus, and Tertullian as the recipient of the tradition of his predecessors in the see, and consequently as the witness and representative of the faith of his Church before Catholicity and the world. Hence the expression "the Fathers" comes naturally to be applied to the holy bishops of a preceding age, whether of the last generation or further back, since they are the parents at whose knee the Church of today was taught her belief. It is also applicable in an eminent way to bishops sitting in council, "the Fathers of Nicaea", "the Fathers of

Protection Of The Jews
writing in 1272, Gregory X forbids forced baptisms, antiSemitic violence, or deprivation of the rights or property of Jews. As Jews were not allowed to testify against Christians, Gregory says that Christians may not testify against Jews. Vehemently denounces the blood libel. Emphasis and commentary inserted by persons unknown.

Extractions: Papal Protection of the Jews Pope Gregory X 1272 Gregory, bishop, servant of the servants of God, extends greetings and the apostolic benediction to the beloved sons in Christ, the faithful Christians, to those here now and to those in the future. Even as it is not allowed to the Jews in their assemblies presumptuously to undertake for themselves more than that which is permitted them by law, even so they ought not to suffer any disadvantage in those [privileges] which have been granted them. [This sentence, first written by Gregory I in 598, embodies the attitude of the Church to the Jew.] Although they prefer to persist in their stubbornness rather than to recognize the words of their prophets and the mysteries of the Scriptures [which, according to the Church, foretold the coming of Jesus], and thus to arrive at a knowledge of Christian faith and salvation; nevertheless, inasmuch as they have made an appeal for our protection and help, we therefore admit their petition and offer them the shield of our protection through the clemency of Christian piety. In so doing we follow in the footsteps of our predecessors of blessed memory, the popes of Rome Calixtus, Eugene, Alexander, Clement, Innocent, and Honorius. We decree moreover that no Christian shall compel them or any one of their group to come to baptism unwillingly . But if any one of them shall take refuge of his own accord with Christians, because of conviction, then, after his intention will have been manifest, he shall be made a Christian without any intrigue.

http://www.bcca.org/bahaivision/docs/paullamp.html

Extractions: Date: Tue, 13 Dec 1994 22:01:39 GMT (some of original note deleted) William Miller, John Boykin, and Francis Beckwith are all Christian writers who have taken upon themselves the task of discrediting the Baha'i Faith. Their writings should be considered in the same context as those non-Christian writers of such materials as "The Passover Plot" who sought to "explain" and discredit the mission of Jesus. The techniques used include misstatements and distortions of fact. The best way to deal with such writings is to understand the approach and to know the actual circumstances related to the issue raised by the author. Beckwith, for example, seizes on one individual's reported words of `Abdu'l-Baha (such "pilgrim's notes" have no authority in the Baha'i Faith) to try to prove that `Abdu'l-Baha made a false prophecy; he conveniently ignores the dozens of statements in the actual written words of Baha'u'llah and `Abdu'l-Baha which accurately foretell future events (see the book "The Challenge of Baha'u'llah" from the publisher George Ronald.) Boykin reviews a few of the Teachings of Baha'u'llah related to issues associated with Islamic and Persian culture and proclaims that the Baha'i Faith has no relevance to the problems of the 20th century. This is a particularly odd attack, since other Christian writers have found that the Baha'i Teachings have so much to say about about modern problems that they have proclaimed it a religion "made-to-order" (see the books of Udo Schaefer).
