Elizabeth Bishop proposed that “[i]f you’re in the right frame of mind, everything strikes you as poetry” (Conversations with Elizabeth Bishop 13). Bishop’s first collection, North & South, already demonstrates the finesse and themes of her later work. “Paris, 7a.m.” exemplifies Bishop’s mode of poetic process in that the poem very much reflects Bishop’s thought progression. Bishop gives the poem a specific geographic location in order to further contextualize her reflections. In her poem,…

Government in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches are a part of a hierarchical model. Conclusively, the hierarchy is comprised of priesthood, monks, nuns, and levels of bishops. Christ’s representative is addressed as the pope in the Roman Catholic church. Understandably, the pope is the ultimate power of the Roman Catholic hierarchical system. Although in the Eastern Orthodox Church, patriarchs take the place of the pope…

In the New Testament, Junia, Pricilla, Phoebe, and Mary Magdalene were four females with leadership roles in the Jesus movement. These females were deaconesses, evangelists, educators, or preachers. The New Testament provides insight into the debate of female leadership and ordination during the early church movement; a debate that continues now. Certain Christian denominations today permit female ordination, while other denominations stand firm against female pastors; both use the New Testament…

During the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco (where he reigned for 36 years), the position of the Catholic Church was highly included and changed dramatically after the civil war. The Franco regime used religion as a way to gain popularity and trust throughout Spain, exploiting the faith of others. Catholicism was the only state religion allowed at the time, so the Franco regime preferred a conservative Roman Catholicism. Franco saw the Catholic Church as the perfect opportunity to show…

William Avery Bishop was born on February 8, 1894. Bishop attended the Canadian Royal Military College before World War One broke out in 1914.

While the previous bishop promoted and back the notion of rebuilding the school, the new bishop had worries about the whole notion. His main concern revolved around the low enrollment rate and the financial obligations it would involve to invest in a school that possibly would not thrive. The Cathedral community refuted this statement, however, someone needed to prove to the surrounding areas, the bishop and anyone filled with doubt about its future, that Cathedral…

man during his time. He was in a sensitive position by being a bishop. He had a great influence with the building of castles and art. Henry of Winchester would also become one of the richest men in England as well, which brings in my specific research topic. Is Henry of Blois based off self-preservation? In other words, was he always looking after his own skin before others? This I believe is very important to discuss because bishops, especially Henry, were very greedy during this period. It…

Spanish throne were heads of the Catholic Church in their territory. The church now became an arm of the state. The Spanish Church had two branches, the secular and the regular. The secular group was composed of priests who served the under their bishops. The regulars were missionaries under the separate authority of their various orders. The conquest was justified due to christian mission of saving of the “savages.” They use this clause to do what they wanted on this “virgin” land. The church…
