Hail, Saintly Cardinal, Cathechist and Doctor of the Church



Today is the feast of St. Robert Bellarmine, SJ (1542 AD - 1621 AD).  St. Robert was the most learned churchman of his day, the author of a catechism still  in use, an able controversialist against the protestants, and a friend to Galileo.  UCA News has St. Robert's full story here.

It's my name day (Inigo is merely a nom de blog) so I am going out for a jelly donut to celebrate.

St. Robert Bellarmine, pray for us.
