paragraph: Léon de Poncins

paragraph: Viscount Léon de Poncins (3 November 1897 – 18 December 1975) was a French aristocrat and a traditional Catholic journalist and essayist. He authored numerous books and articles advancing a Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory.

paragraph: Léon de Poncins' explanation for most of the major revolutionary political upheavals of modernity was the influence of certain secret societies with an anti-Christian agenda — as well as a "occult war" waged by those possessing a diabolical kind of "faith".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born Gabriel Léon Marie Pierre de Montaigne de Poncins in Civens, Loire. He was descended of an aristocratic family ennobled in 1696.

paragraph: His writings enjoyed some prominence in the 1930s (many of his works were translated into English, Italian, German, and Spanish). Léon de Poncins contributed to many newspapers like "Le Jour", "Le Figaro", "L'Ami du peuple", and "Le Nouvelliste"; he also directed the journal "Contre-Révolution" ("Counter-Revolution") from 1937 to 1939.

paragraph: Léon de Poncins was a devout Catholic and counter-revolutionary. His writings show anti-Jewish, anti-Communist, anti-Masonic, and anti-progressive views. Until his death, in Toulon, he denounced the occult forces and organizations that ruled the world and sought to poison Christianity.

paragraph: Section::::Views.

paragraph: Section::::Views.:Influence of secret societies.

paragraph: In his writings, he denounced Masonic conspiracies (pointing out the relationship between Freemasonry and the French Revolution, the League of Nations, etc.), and the Jewish influence in Catholic affairs.

paragraph: His work was seen as a continuation of the "Revue Internationale des Sociétés Secrètes" (["International Review of Secret Societies"]), whose primary editor was Mgr. Ernest Jouin (1844–1932).

paragraph: Léon de Poncins was a friend of Emmanuel Malynski (died 1938)— with whom he wrote "La Guerre occulte" ("The Occult War")— and Jean Vaquié (1911–1992), with whom he wrote in the journals "Lectures françaises" and "Lecture et Tradition", and for the Chiré-en-Montreuil-based publishing house Éditions de Chiré. Léon de Poncins wrote the preface to Vaquié's "La Révolution Liturgique" (["The Liturgical Revolution"]).

paragraph: Julius Evola translated "La Guerre occulte" into Italian. First published in 1939, with a preface written by Evola in his own name, the second edition in 1961 had a new introduction, signed "Koussis", and an unsigned conclusion (both revealed posthumously to be by Evola).

paragraph: In a 1949 letter from René Guenon to Evola, he expresses a belief that Léon de Poncins was subjected to attacks from "a group of dangerous sorcerers" who were connected to his secretary, Eve Louguet.

paragraph: Section::::Views.:On World War I.

paragraph: In his historical analysis of the First World War, Léon de Poncins suggests that concerted lobbying by international Zionist circles led to the creation of the future Jewish state in Palestine by means of manipulating alliances and oppositions between countries. In 1916— at a time when Germany triumphed on all fronts and the British planned to sign an armistice then advanced by the Kaiser— Zionists secured a promise of Palestine (then under the domination of the Ottoman Empire) as a Jewish settlement from the government of Britain in exchange for the United States' entry into the war alongside the Triple Entente. To corroborate his thesis, Léon de Poncins cited "Great Britain, The Jews and Palestine", a 1936 book by pro-Zionist author, Samuel Landman.

paragraph: Section::::Views.:On Vatican II.

paragraph: During the Second Vatican Council, following the vote on 20 November 1964, at the third session of the provisional scheme dealing with the Church's attitude towards Judaism, Léon de Poncins wrote a pamphlet, "Le Problème juif face au Concile" (["The Jewish Question Facing the Council"]), which was distributed to the bishops before the fourth and final session. The author noted "by the Council Fathers a profound misunderstanding of what constitutes the essence of Judaism." Léon de Poncins' advice had a significant effect on the drafting of "Nostra aetate", adopted on 28 October 1965.

paragraph: Safi-ad-din Ardabili

paragraph: Sheikh Safi-ad-din Is'haq Ardabili (of Ardabil) (1252–1334) ( "Shaikh Ṣāfī ad-Dīn Isḥāq Ardabīlī"), was the Kurdish and Sunni Muslim eponym of the Safavid dynasty, founder of the Safaviyya order, and the spiritual heir and son in law of the great Sufi Murshid (Grand Master) Sheikh Zahed Gilani, of Lahijan in Gilan province in northern Iran. Most of what we know about him comes from the Safvat as-safa, a hagiography written by one of his followers.

paragraph: Section::::Lineage.

paragraph: Safi-ad-din was of Kurdish origins. According to Minorsky, Sheykh Safi al-Din's ancestor Firuz-shah was a rich man, lived in Gilan and then Kurdish kings gave him Ardabil and its dependencies. Minorsky refers to Sheykh Safi al-Din's claims tracing back his origins to Ali ibn Abu Talib, but expresses uncertainty about this.

paragraph: The male lineage of the Safavid family given by the oldest manuscript of the Safwat as-Safa is:"(Shaykh) Safi al-Din Abul-Fatah Ishaaq the son of Al-Shaykh Amin al-din Jebrail the son of al-Saaleh Qutb al-Din Abu Bakr the son of Salaah al-Din Rashid the son of Muhammad al-Hafiz al-Kalaam Allah the son of Javaad the son of Pirooz al-Kurdi al-Sanjani (Piruz Shah Zarin Kolah the Kurd of Sanjan)" similar to the ancestry of Sheykh Safi al-Din's father-in-law, Sheikh Zahed Gilani, who also hailed from Sanjan, in Greater Khorassan.

paragraph: Section::::Ascension as Murshid.

paragraph: Sheikh Safi al-Din inherited Sheikh Zahed Gilani's Sufi order, the "Zahediyeh", which he later transformed into his own, the "Safaviyya". Sheikh Zahed Gilani also gave his daughter Bibi Fatemeh in wedlock to his favorite disciple. Sheikh Safi al-Din, in turn, gave a daughter from a previous marriage in wedlock to Shaikh Zahed Gilani's second-born son. Over the following 170 years, the Safaviyya Order gained political and military power, finally culminating in the foundation of the Safavid dynasty which established control over parts of Greater Iran and reasserted the Iranian identity of the region, thus becoming the first native dynasty since the Sasanian Empire to establish a national state officially known as Iran.

paragraph: Section::::Poetry.

paragraph: Sheikh Safi al-Din has composed poems in the Iranian dialect of old Tati. He was a seventh-generation descendant of Firuz-Shah Zarrin-Kolah, a local Iranian dignitary.

paragraph: Only a very few verses of Sheikh Safi al-Din's poetry, called "Dobayti"s ("double verses"), have survived. Written in old Tati and Persian, they have linguistic importance today.

paragraph: Greg Golson

paragraph: Gregory Joseph Golson (born September 17, 1985) is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Lancaster Barnstormers of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. A first round selection in the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies, Golson has played for the Phillies (2008), Texas Rangers (2009), and New York Yankees (2010–2011).

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Philadelphia Phillies.

paragraph: Golson attended John B. Connally High School in Austin, Texas. The Philadelphia Phillies selected Golson from high school with the 21st overall pick in the first round of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft. After drafting him, the Phillies assigned Golson to their Gulf Coast League affiliate in the rookie leagues. He played in 47 games, accumulating a .295 batting average with eight doubles and five triples. He stole 12 bases, and struck out 54 times in 183 at-bats.

paragraph: Golson's speed became a feature of his game, and went on to steal over 100 bases in five minor-league seasons. In a 2008 interview, Golson said, regarding his success as a base-stealer, that "[you've] got to be real observant of what the pitcher is doing, if they fall into patterns, what the catcher is doing, the counts, the game situation—stuff like that ... but speed is the big thing".

paragraph: In his second minor-league season, Golson was promoted to the A-level Lakewood BlueClaws in Lakewood, New Jersey. He continued to accumulate high strikeout numbers, with 106 in 375 at-bats, but he also posted a .264 average, hit 8 triples (a career-high), and stole 25 bases. After the 2005 season, Golson was named the second-best prospect in the Phillies' system by Baseball America, the highest spot he would reach in those rankings. Most of the 2006 season was spent at Lakewood as well, with a late-season promotion to the Clearwater Threshers. Between the two levels, Golson hit .233 and struck out 160 times. He hit 13 home runs and batted in 48 runs. Golson also accumulated 127 hits in 593 plate appearances.

paragraph: Strikeouts continued to plague Golson as he began the 2007 season. Between Clearwater and the Reading Phillies, Golson struck out 173 times in 607 plate appearances. He hit 15 home runs in 2007, with 32 doubles and 5 triples. His .273 average and .426 slugging percentage were a large improvement over the previous year. His prospect ranking dropped from second in the Phillies' system to tenth.

paragraph: Golson remained at Reading for the 2008 season. A .282 average, 13 home runs, and 18 doubles were enough to catch the eye of the major league club, who called him up to the majors on August 31. He made his debut on September 7, pinch-hitting for catcher Carlos Ruiz. He made several appearances as a late-inning defensive replacement, which was fine with Golson. "You can really impact a game, where people will remember stuff … if you make a great catch that saves the game, people remember that for a long time." With the Phillies, Golson went 0-for-6 in the last month of the 2008 season, scoring two runs and stealing a base. Golson was not part of the postseason roster for the 2008 Phillies, who went on to win the World Series, but he did travel with the team and was in uniform for all the club's playoff games.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Texas Rangers.

paragraph: On November 20, 2008, Golson was traded by the Phillies to the Texas Rangers for John Mayberry, Jr. Phillies general manager Rubén Amaro, Jr. called the trade a speed-for-power' swap".

paragraph: Golson received one at-bat for the Rangers in 2009, spending most of his season at the AAA level with the Oklahoma RedHawks. In 146 plate appearances, Golson accumulated a .289 average with five doubles and three triples. He also stole six bases and scored fourteen runs in the opening two months.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New York Yankees.

paragraph: On January 26, 2010, Golson was traded to the New York Yankees in exchange for minor league player Mitch Hilligoss and cash, after being designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers a few days earlier. Golson was used as primarily a defensive replacement. On September 14 against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, Golson astonished players and spectators with a strong throw when threw out the speedy Carl Crawford in an attempt to reach third base after tagging up for the final out of the game. Golson would later be included on the Yankees' 2010 postseason roster until the team lost the 2010 ALCS to the Texas Rangers. He spent most of the 2011 season with the Yankees' AAA affiliate, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. He was released prior to the Rule 5 draft that offseason.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Minor Leagues.

paragraph: The Kansas City Royals signed Golson to a minor league contract on December 13, 2011. The Royals traded Golson to the Chicago White Sox for cash considerations on March 25, 2012. Golson played in 2012 with Triple-A Charlotte, where in 109 games, he hit .276 with 6 HR, 52 RBI and 20 SB.

paragraph: The Colorado Rockies signed Golson to a minor league contract on January 30, 2013. Golson began 2013 with Triple-A Colorado Springs. He played there until he was released on July 19. In 55 games with the Sky Sox, Golson hit .244 with 5 HR, 22 RBI and 12 SB.

paragraph: Golson was signed to a minor league contract for the Atlanta Braves on July 31, 2013.

paragraph: Golson signed a minor league contract for the Milwaukee Brewers in January 2014. He was released in March and signed with the Lancaster Barnstormers, he appeared in 51 games for the Barnstormers before moving to the Mexican League and playing in 134 games over the 2014 and 2015 seasons. Golson returned to the Atlantic League after he signed a 1-year deal with the New Britain Bees on March 18, 2016

paragraph: Golson re-signed with the New Britain Bees for the 2017 season but shortly after asked for his release and on April 10, 2017, Golson signed with the Tigres de Quintana Roo of the Mexican Baseball League. He was released on May 5, 2017.

paragraph: On May 26, 2017, Golson signed with the Somerset Patriots of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. He became a free agent following the season.

paragraph: Jeanne de Lestonnac

paragraph: Jeanne de Lestonnac, O.D.N., (December 27, 1556 – February 2, 1640), alternately known as Joan of Lestonnac, was a Roman Catholic saint and foundress of the Sisters of the Company of Mary, Our Lady, in 1607. The new institute, approved by Paul V in 1607, was the first religious order of women-teachers approved by the Church. Her feast day is May 15.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early years.

paragraph: De Lestonnac was born in Bordeaux in 1556 to Richard de Lestonnac, a member of the Parlement of Bordeaux, and Jeanne Eyquem, the sister of the noted philosopher, Michel Eyquem de Montaigne. She grew up in a time where the conflict between the Protestant reformists and the defenders of the Catholic faith was at its height. This was evident in her own family. While her mother became an enthusiastic Calvinist and tried to persuade her to convert, her father and her uncle Montaigne adhered to the Catholic faith and were her support in remaining a Catholic.

paragraph: At the age of 17 De Lestonnac married Gaston de Montferrant, with whom she had eight children, three of whom died in infancy. She was married for 24 years when her husband died. This marked the beginning of a very painful period in her life, with the further loss, within seven months, of her father, uncle and eldest son.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Religious life.

paragraph: Following her husband's death, St. Jeanne De Lestonnac, at the age of 46, and with her children now grown, turned to a contemplative life and entered the Cistercian Monastery in Toulouse where she was given the religious name of Jeanne of Saint Bernard. She found great peace and satisfaction in the monastic life, but, after six months, she became very ill and had to leave the monastery. She then went to live on her estate La Mothe Lusié to recover her health, and where she adopted the lifestyle of a secular "dévote", performing many acts of charity, including food and alms distribution, and regularly met with young women of her social class to pray and discuss religious questions. She sought for models of Catholic women to be her guides and cultivated an interest in the lives of Saints Scholastica, Clare of Assisi, Catherine of Siena and Teresa of Avila.

paragraph: A few years later, in 1605, a plague broke out in Bordeaux. At risk to her own life, De Lestonnac returned to her native city to help care for the sick and suffering in the slums of the city.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Foundress.

paragraph: Lestonnac's brother, a Jesuit attached to the college in Bordeaux, arranged a meeting between Lestonnac and two Jesuit fathers: Jean de Bordes and François de Raymond. The Jesuits asked de Lestonnac to serve as founder of a new teaching order for young women. They encouraged her to establish for girls in terms of formal education what they were doing for boys. The three decided upon a cloistered community to follow the Benedictine rule, modified to allow sisters to teach. The group gained the approval of Pope Paul V in 1607. The community took the name of the Compagnie de Notre-Dame"'.

paragraph: The group purchased an old priory near the Château Trompette, but moved in September 1610, to a larger old monastery on rue du Hâ. They were well-received and financially supported by the city's elite. The first five members of the new order took their religious vows on December 10, 1610. The community established its first school for girls in Bordeaux. Foundations proceeded in Beziers, Périgueux, and Toulouse through Lestonnac's personal connections as well as her connections with the Jesuits and Bordelaise political elites.

paragraph: Charles Jauncey, Baron Jauncey of Tullichettle

paragraph: Charles Eliot Jauncey, Baron Jauncey of Tullichettle, PC (8 May 1925 – 18 July 2007) was a British judge and advocate. He was often praised as one of the finest legal minds of his generation in Scotland, and his legal opinions - both as a practising advocate and as a judge - commanded immense respect.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Jauncey was the son of Captain John Henry Jauncey, DSO, RN, who came out of retirement to command destroyers in the Second World War, and Muriel Dundas, daughter of Admiral Sir Charles Dundas. He was educated at Radley College, leaving in 1943 to join the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. He served in Egypt and India in the Second World War, from 1943 to 1946, reaching the rank of Sub-Lieutenant. He contracted polio in Ceylon and was invalided home, being left with a slight limp for the rest of his life.

paragraph: He read law at Christ Church, Oxford, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in jurisprudence in 1947, and at the University of Glasgow, where he received a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1949. He became an advocate of the Scottish Bar in 1949, joining the Faculty of Advocates. He undertook a wide range of civil legal work, but his practice concentrated mostly on wills, trusts and estates. He became a standing junior counsel to the Ministry of Works in Scotland in 1953, and standing junior counsel to the Admiralty in 1954.

paragraph: Supporting Ian Fraser QC (later Lord Fraser of Tullybelton), he was junior counsel to Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyll, from 1959 to 1963 in the notorious divorce action brought by her husband, the 11th Duke of Argyll, alleging her adultery, which broke new ground in the law of confidentiality. He took silk becoming a Queen's Counsel for Scotland in 1963. He was part-time Sheriff Principal of Fife and Kinross from 1971 to 1974, resigning to continue his legal practice when the position became full-time. He was a Judge of the Courts of Appeal of Jersey and Guernsey from 1972 to 1979.

paragraph: Section::::Judicial career.

paragraph: He became a Senator of the College of Justice in Scotland in 1979. Amongst other cases, he sat in two particularly long-running cases: "McColl v. Strathclyde Regional Council" [1983] SC 225, a 203-day hearing contesting the mandatory fluoridation of the water supply in Glasgow, and "Santa Fe v. Heerama", a patent infringement case relating to semi-submersible drilling platforms in the North Sea which settled after 191 days in court. He held this post until 1988, when he became a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary. He was appointed to the Privy Council and was created a life peer with the title Baron Jauncey of Tullichettle, of Comrie in the District of Perth and Kinross. He also sat on the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. He retired in 1996, but the Queen appointed him a special commissioner and arbitrator in 1998 to determine a dispute between the Dean of Westminster Abbey and its dismissed organist, Dr Martin Neary and Mrs Neary. He was chairman of the House of Lords Committee in 2001-2 that investigated the crash of the RAF Chinook helicopter ZD576 in the Mull of Kintyre in 1994 that killed all 29 on board. He continued to be active in the House of Lords after his retirement, until a stroke in November 2004. He twice caught MRSA while recuperating at Perth Royal Infirmary.

paragraph: Outside the law, Jauncey became a member of the Royal Company of Archers in 1951. His interest in genealogy led to his appointment as Kintyre Pursuivant of Arms from 1955 to 1971. He was also a member of the Historic Buildings Council for Scotland from 1972 to 1992. He enjoyed fishing in the rivers of Perthsire. He lived in Tullichettle, near Comrie in Perthshire, for 60 years, and was a member of his local Episcopal church. He died in Comrie.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: He married three times. He first married Jean Cunninghame Graham, daughter of Admiral Sir Angus Cunninghame Graham, in 1948. They had two sons, Jamie and Simon, and a daughter, Arabella. After their divorce in 1969, he married Elizabeth Ballingal, widow of Major John Ballingal MC, in 1973. After a second divorce in 1977, he married a third time, to Camilla Cathcart, daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Cathcart, later that year. They had one daughter, Cressida.

paragraph: Hugh I of Arborea

paragraph: Hugh I (1178 – 1211) Giudice of Arborea from 1185 until his death in 1211. Hugh was the son of Ispella di Serra and Hugh I of Bas. He was a grandson -through his mother- of Barisone II of Arborea. He is often known as "Ugone de Bas" in Italian, Bas being the common denomination for the viscounty of Besalú.

paragraph: He ascended to the throne of Arborea in 1185 when he was only seven years old, under the regency of Ramon de Torroja, the brother in law of Agalbursa, through her sister Gaia. Agalbursa was the widow of Barisone II, and paternal aunt of Hugh himself. In 1192, a compromise was reached at Oristano whereby Peter di Serra, Barisone's eldest son by his first wife Pellegrina di Lacon, was recognised as co-"giudice".

paragraph: In 1195, William I of Cagliari invaded Arborea, imprisoning Peter and besieging Oristano, forcing Hugh to sign a pact ceding his territories and engaging him to marry Preziosa, William's daughter and a relative of the house of Peter. The marriage was celebrated in 1206.

paragraph: Hugh continued to title himself "King of Sardinia" as his grandfather had done. Though Bas had been abandoned, first to Ponce III and then to his son Peter III, in 1198, it was reclaimed and Peter was financially compensated for his loss. When Hugh eventually returned to Arborea, he left the son of his former regent, Hugh III of Torroja, as regent in Besalú. Both Hughs died in 1211, the regent succeeded in the regency by his sister Eldiarda, wife of Ramon de Palau, and the king succeeded by his son Peter II.

paragraph: Samuel Morley (MP)

paragraph: Samuel Morley (15 October 1809 – 5 September 1886), was an English woollen manufacturer and political radical. He is known as a philanthropist, Congregationalist dissenter, abolitionist, and statesman.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: He was the youngest son of John Morley, a hosiery manufacturer with premises in Nottingham who opened offices in Wood Street, London; his mother was Sarah Poulton of Maidenhead. Born in Homerton, From an early age he worked for his father's business in London. When his father and brothers chose to retire, he was left in managerial control. By 1860 he was sole owner of both the London and Nottingham parts of the business, and as it grew rapidly into the largest of its kind in the world he became very wealthy, and a model employer.

paragraph: Morley took a large residence in Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington when not living at his City of London address. He was a member of Thomas Binney's King's Weigh House Congregational Chapel in Fish Street Hill, London.

paragraph: He ventured into publishing, becoming one of the proprietors of the "Daily News", the main Liberal paper of the period. By reducing its price, its losses turned to gains and carried greater influence.

paragraph: As a Liberal, he was one of Gladstone's keen supporters, and was elected as an MP for Nottingham in 1865, and later Bristol (1868–85).

paragraph: In later life he became a strong advocate of temperance.

paragraph: Section::::Philanthropist and educationalist.

paragraph: Sometimes called the "Philanthropic Merchant", he was sufficiently eminent to be caricatured in "Vanity Fair" (15 June 1872). A contemporary biographer, writing in the "Annual Register of World Events", considered that he would be remembered by posterity as "one of the leading merchant princes and philanthropists of the century".

paragraph: Among many philanthropic ventures, Morley endowed Morley College in London for adult education. He was also treasurer of Homerton College, chairing its inauguration on 20 April 1852 as the new "Training Institution of the Congregational Board of Education", following the purchase, extension and rebuilding on the site of the old mansion and buildings of Homerton Academy.

paragraph: Section::::Abolitionist.

paragraph: Morley supported abolitionism, a cause closely associated with 19th-century British Whigs and political radicals, and then the British Liberal party. He became treasurer of the fund to finance Josiah Henson, an escaped American slave who was given support in Britain. Josiah Henson later wrote "Uncle Tom's Story of His Life: an Autobiography of the Rev. Josiah Henson (Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's 'Uncle Tom'), from 1789 to 1876". It contained an introductory note by Morley and George Sturge (1798–1888), and a preface by Harriet Beecher Stowe. In his autobiography, Josiah Henson records,

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: Morley married Rebekah Maria Hope, daughter of Samuel Hope of Liverpool. Their eldest son Samuel became Governor of the Bank of England and was elevated to the peerage as Baron Hollenden in 1912. Their younger son was the Liberal politician Arnold Morley.

paragraph: Section::::Death and commemoration.

paragraph: There is a statue to Samuel Morley in Bristol, and a second memorial above his place of interment in Dr Watts' Walk, Abney Park Cemetery, Stoke Newington, London. The latter is designed with elegant simplicity, as a large raised tomb, with a plain pediment to each end for nonconformists, even those as wealthy as Samuel Morley, generally resisted ostentatious memorials.

paragraph: A bust of Morley, by Joseph Else, is to be found at the Waverley Street entrance to The Arboretum, Nottingham with lettering beneath his likeness describing him as an MP, merchant and philanphropist.

paragraph: A Primitive Methodist chapel was erected in 1889 in Blue Bell Hill, Nottingham, and named in his memory the Morley Memorial Chapel.

paragraph: Sixtus of Siena

paragraph: Sixtus of Siena (or Sixtus Senensis) (1520–1569) was a Jew who converted to Roman Catholicism, and became a Roman Catholic theologian. Though he was convicted of heresy he was saved by a Dominican inquisitor, the future Pope Pius V, who repealed the condemnation when Sixtus recanted and pledged to transfer to the Dominican Order instead. He is considered one of the two most outstanding Dominican scholars of his generation. He had as a master Lancelotto Politi, some of whose writings he later publicly criticised.

paragraph: Sixtus coined the term "deuterocanonical" to describe certain books of the Catholic Old Testament that had not been accepted as canonical by Jews and Protestants but which appeared in the Septuagint, and the definer for the Roman Catholics of the terms "protocanonical" and the ancient term "apocryphal".

paragraph: His work "Bibliotheca sancta ex præcipuis Catholicæ Ecclesiæ auctoribus collecta" (Venice 1566) treats the sacred writers and their works, the best manner of translating and explaining Holy Writ, and gives a copious list of Biblical interpreters, in eight books. It was the first of the genre of encyclopedic teaching repertories of dogma and Church tradition issued in the wake of the Council of Trent.

paragraph: George St John, 3rd Viscount Bolingbroke

paragraph: George Richard St John, 3rd Viscount Bolingbroke and 4th Viscount St John (5 March 1761 – 11 December 1824), styled The Honourable George St John from birth until 1787, was a British peer and politician. He became famous in his own lifetime for embarking on an extra-marital relationship with his own half-sister, Mary Beauclerk (his mother's daughter by her second marriage), that produced four sons. The two lovers had to leave England and live on the continent for a time.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: He was the elder son of the famously unhappy marriage between Frederick St John, 2nd Viscount Bolingbroke and Diana Spencer, daughter of Charles Spencer, 3rd Duke of Marlborough. St John was educated at Eton College in Berkshire and Christ Church, Oxford, where he matriculated in 1777. He succeeded his father as viscount in 1787.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: St John entered the British House of Commons for Cricklade in 1782, at the age of 21, representing the constituency as Member of Parliament (MP) until 1784.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: On 26 February 1783, he married firstly Charlotte Collins, daughter of his former tutor Thomas Collins. He had by her two sons and a daughter.

paragraph: After the birth of these three children, George embarked on a sexual relationship with his younger half-sister Mary Beauclerk. Mary was a twin from their mother's second marriage to Topham Beauclerk, but born in 1766 before their marriage 1768. George and Mary's child was delivered in Paris but passed off at home as a child of George and Charlotte's for a time. Charlotte was anxious to save her marriage, and hoped by this ruse to preserve the family name from infamy and her marriage from utter ruin. However, Mary became pregnant for the second time by George in 1788, and delivered their second child, again in France.

paragraph: In 1789 George abandoned his wife and legitimate children. He and Mary along with their two small children left Britain to live together on the Continent. They traveled under the name 'Barton' and left instructions to their families not to try to find them. The story quickly reached their circle of family and influential friends, and was reported in "The Times" (7 July 1789). Mary went on to bear him another two sons, all of whom lived to adulthood. By May 1794 George had abandoned Mary and the four boys for a Belgian noblewoman, Isabella Charlotte Antoinette Sophia Hompesch, Baroness von Hompesch. He persuaded her to marry him bigamously and then to live with him in obscurity first on the Continent, then in Britain, and finally in the United States. Their eldest children were all illegitimate.

paragraph: Mary later (1797) married an Anglo-German Bavarian count Franz Jenison von Walworth, by whom she had legitimate issue and descendants. At least one of her sons by St John, Robert St John, called Bob St John, was still alive and much loved by the politician Charles James Fox and his mistress, later wife Elizabeth Armistead.

paragraph: Charlotte died in 1803, and St John lawfully married Isabella Hompesch on 1 August 1804. By his second wife, he had legitimate issue, two daughters and two sons. St John died, aged 63, at Pisa in Italy on a journey to regain his daughter's health. He was succeeded in his titles by his oldest surviving son Henry St John, 4th Viscount Bolingbroke, as the oldest son George had died in 1804 just before his mother.
