For Thomas More(2008-07-06 10:00)

    两周以后,又逢Thomas More的忌日……

    全世界的良心会死在断头台上、被肢解、被枭首示众,不知这是Thomas More所受的最高的恩泽还是那个世纪整个西方世界的悲哀……但是毫无疑问,这绝对是后先知时代献给万军之雅威最完美的馨香的火祭,只是再也没有祭祀去上前倒那燔祭的灰,我也没有赶上。或许经过了473年,当这沉重的接力棒放在我手上的那一刻,我也未必有能量握住一瞬间——我的双眼还没有看见那乌托邦。

    More先生在四百年后被封圣,可惜这似乎已经没有意义,如同圣女贞德一样,早在封圣前的数百年,他们的灵魂已经注定将穿越九天之上,坐在全能者的左边,俯瞰万民。More先生在人世间唯一的羁绊必然不是那四百年后的圣名,而是他用笔触所记下的属于人世间的新耶路撒冷,只可惜他没有看到半个千禧年后的今天,我们更加堕落了……对不起……

    473年前,教皇没有出兵为More报仇,Hernry VIII终于将整个欧洲乃至世界推入了无尽的深渊;73年前,教皇郑重地将'Saint'放在了'Thomas More'之前,如同加冕一般,一不小心、出于善意地贬低了More的位格;今天的教皇,不知会走向何方……今天的亚伯拉罕宗教,又不知会走向何方……

    以下是Thomas More的一些简介,来自Wiki百科:

 

 Saint Thomas More (February 7, 1478 – July 6, 1535), also Sir Thomas More, was an English lawyer, author, and statesman who in his lifetime earned a reputation as a leading humanist scholar, and occupied many public offices, including Lord Chancellor (1529–1532). Sir Thomas coined the word 'utopia', a name he gave to an ideal, imaginary island nation whose political system he described in the eponymous book published in 1516.

In 1935, four hundred years after his death, Pope Pius XI canonized St Thomas More in the Roman Catholic Church; More was declared Patron Saint of politicians and statesmen by Pope John Paul II in 1980.St Thomas More shares his feast day, June 22 on the Roman Catholic calendar of saints, with Saint John Fisher. In 1980, Sir Thomas More was added to the Church of England's calendar of saints. Traditional Roman Catholics continue celebrating his feast day on July 6, the day of his martyrdom. He was voted thirty-seventh of the historical 100 Greatest Britons.

 

For John Fisher(2008-06-28 00:00)

    六月最后一个安息日,终于放下了诸多旁骛,可惜的是没有赶上John Fisher的忌日,毕竟需要纪念的日子永远是那永恒的圣安息日,心中也终究少了许多遗憾。虽然John Fisher并非吾人最喜欢的红衣主教,却是吾人最尊敬的一位,撇开红衣主教的宗教地位,红衣主教的智慧和能力是远远凌绝于凡人之上的——即使在教宗力量极弱的时代,红衣主教依旧孑然一人前往宫廷,在孤立无援的情况下与有着高超谋略的奸诈贵族斡旋,却往往居于上风,最差也能全身而退——但正是政治斗争,削弱了红衣主教作为主教,作为Prince of Christ的意义,或许Thomas Wolsey就是最好的例子。可是与所有人不同的是,John Fisher殉道了,以红衣主教的身份和地位殉道了,作为一个捍卫神圣势力和真理的雄狮而被羞辱,幸好如此高贵的灵魂人类审判不了,魔鬼收割不了,沉睡于混沌中的Fisher主教啊,不知您是否看见,您跌倒的地方有国被兴起,那是新耶路撒冷的外城,是我们仰望苍天穹宇的露台,因你在人前跌倒,你必从主前起来,坐在那至圣者的左手边,直到永永远远!

Saint John Fisher also John Cardinal Fisher (c. 1469 June 22, 1535), was an English Catholic bishop, cardinal and martyr. He shares his feast day with Saint Thomas More on June 22 in the Roman Catholic calendar of saints and July 6 on the Anglican calendar of saints. Both Fisher and More were executed by King Henry VIII for refusing to accept him as Head of the Church of England. He is the only member of the College of Cardinals to have suffered martyrdom.
