<mask> (10 March 1827 – 9 February 1912), better known by his religious name <mask>, was a famous French preacher and theologian. He was a Roman Catholic priest who had been a Sulpician and a Dominican novice before becoming a Discalced Carmelite and provincial of his order, but left the Roman Catholic Church, in 1869, after major excommunication was pronounced against him. He was known especially for his eloquent sermons at Notre Dame de Paris and sought to reconcile Catholicism with modern ideas. Biography
<mask> was born in Orléans, France, on 10 March 1827. He was baptised Charles Jean Marie; named after the poet <mask>, his uncle. He was educated in Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, by private professors where his father was rector of the University. His mother was of the noble Burnier-Fontonel family of the Chateau de Reiquier, Savoy.One brother, Jules Theodore <mask>, became a priest and professor at the Collège de Sorbonne in Paris, and one sister became a nun. In 1845, entered the seminary of Saint-Sulpice, Paris and was ordained four years later. He successively taught philosophy at the seminary in Avignon, and theology at the seminary in Nantes and officiated in his ecclesiastical capacity at Saint-Sulpice. He eventually resigned his post to assume the vows of a friar of the Order of the Carmelites, taking the religious name of Hyacinthe. He then spent two years in the Carmelite convent in Lyon, and attracted much attention by his preaching at the Lycée in Lyons. As a preacher in Lyon and Bordeaux, Loyson acquired his reputation as the most effective pulpit orator of his day; and his success soon afterwards induced him to seek the more critical audiences of Paris, where Loyson further established his fame at the Église de la Madeleine and Notre Dame de Paris. Mullinger wrote that Loyson's "resonant voice and impassioned rhetoric possess, especially for his own countrymen, a powerful charm."His eloquence drew all Paris to his Advent sermons in Notre Dame de Paris between 1865 and 1869, but his orthodoxy fell under

texts: suspicion. In 1868, he was summoned to Rome and was ordered to stop preaching on any controversial subject, and to confine himself exclusively to those subjects upon which all Roman Catholics were united in belief. In June 1869, <mask> delivered an address before the Ligue internationale de la paix, which was founded by Frédéric Passy, in which he spoke of the Jewish religion, the Catholic religion, and the Protestant religion, as being the three great religions of civilized peoples; this expression elicited severe censures from the Catholic press. In 1869, he protested against the manner in which the First Vatican Council was convened. He was ordered to retract, but he refused and broke with his order in an open letter of 20 September 1869, addressed to the General of the Discalced Carmelites, but evidently intended for the governing powers of the Church. In it he protested against the "sacrilegious perversion of the Gospel", and went on to say: "It is my profound conviction that if France in particular and the Latin races in general, are given up to social, moral, and religious anarchy, the principal cause is not Catholicism itself, but the manner in which Catholicism has for a long time been understood and practised." His manifesto against the alleged abuses in the Church created intense excitement, not only in France, but throughout the civilized world, and the young monk was hailed as a powerful ally by all the open opponents of the Papacy.He was excommunicated and resumed his name as <mask>. Soon after, he left France for America, landing in New York City on 18 October 1869. He was warmly welcomed by the leading members of the various Protestant sects in the United States, and though he fraternized with them to a certain extent, he constantly declared that he had no intention of quitting the Catholic Faith. In 1870 he associated himself with Ignaz von Döllinger's protest against the dogma of Papal infallibility. On 3 September 1872, he was married in London at the Marylebone Registry Office, to Emilie Jane

 Butterfield Meriman, daughter of Amory Butterfield and widow of Edwin Ruthven Meriman of the United States; the Dean of Westminster, Arthur Stanley, and Lady Augusta Stanley, his wife, were present. He claimed that in 1872, before he was publicly married in England, he had his marriage privately blessed in Rome by Archbishop Luigi Puecher Passavalli. A law was enacted that restricted episcopal and parochial jurisdiction in the canton unless sanctioned by the government; and that, for the future, all parish priests should be elected by the Catholic inhabitants, and be removed, if shown sufficient cause, by the State.The canton was divided into twenty-three parishes, three of which were in Geneva; and in the following March, Loyson was invited by the Old Catholics to lecture in Geneva. In a series of discourses he boldly advocated a complete system of Church reform, to be carried out in conjunction with the Old Catholic party. He urged that every nation establish a national Christian Church and the different established Churches become an international confederation. His views and talents were regarded favorably. <mask> was elected, by liberal Catholics, in the following October, in 1873, along with Hurtault and Chavard, to the three vacant parishes in Geneva. It was impossible for the bishop to retaliate under Swiss law. In 1874, he introduced reforms in worship and soon had to resign.Identified as one of the Old Catholics, Loyson continued to write and preach and ultimately settled in Paris in 1877 and established as a separate church the Église gallicane, which drew upon the long French tradition of Gallicanism. He died in February 1912, in Paris, in the apartment of his playwright son, <mask> <mask>, and was buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery. References

<mask> (;  – ) was a Serbian military pilot who flew in the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913. A graduate of Serbia's Military Academy, <mask> was one of six Serbian military personnel selected to undergo training at Henri and Maurice Farman's flying school in Étampes, near Paris, in 1912. Following his completion of the Farman brothers' training program, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale issued <mask> with pilot's license #979, making him one of the first 1,000 pilots certified by the organization. Upon completing his training, <mask> returned to Serbia, together with the other newly certified Serbian pilots. During the Siege of Scutari (modern-day Shkodër, Albania), <mask> was embedded with the nascent Serbian Air Force's newly formed Littoral Air Detachment, which was tasked with carrying out reconnaissance missions over the city and its surroundings. In March 1913, <mask> fell out of his Farman HF.20 while completing a mission over the city, and was killed. His death negatively affected the morale of his unit.Under pressure from the Great Powers, Montenegro and Serbia retreated from Scutari in May, the Littoral Air Detachment ceased conducting flights over the city and its pilots returned to Serbia. <mask> was the first Serbian Air Force pilot to be killed in the line of duty and only the second such fatality in the history of military aviation. In September 2018, the air base adjacent to Niš Constantine the Great Airport was named after him. Biography

In 1910, he was promoted to the rank of sergeant (). In 1912, <mask> was among six recruits selected by the Royal Serbian Government to undergo training at Henri and Maurice Farman's flying school  in Étampes, near Paris. They arrived in France in April of that year. The recruits were tested in flying their planes for one hour non-stop at an altitude over , landing at a predetermined airfield and gliding with a dead engine.<mask> made his first solo flight after only 20 days, and was the first of the recruits to fly without an instructor, on 29 May 1912. During the training process, the recruits incurred 13,000 francs worth of damage to their aircraft. The training they received did not encompass combat scenarios. Following his completion of the training program, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale issued <mask> with pilot's license #979, making him one of the first 1,000 pilots certified by the organization. According to the historian Boris Ciglić, Serbia initially purchased six aircraft; three from Blériot and three from Farman. Two more were subsequently purchased from Deperdussin, piloted by French aviators. According to the air historian Paul E. Fontenoy, the Serbian government purchased a total of 11 aircraft in 1912.The newly certified pilots requested that the Serbian government permit them to undergo combat training, during which they would be trained in flying at altitudes over , but the government declined. After three months, the pilots left France. They advised their superiors that it would be advisable for the government to procure the same types of aircraft they had received their flight training in. The government only partially obliged this request. Aircraft produced by Bleriot were procured for pilots who had trained on Bleriot planes. Pilots trained to fly planes produced by Maurice Farman instead received aircraft

 produced by Henri Farman. <mask> was among three pilots who were assigned a plane they were not trained to fly.First Balkan War

The newly procured aircraft were to be transported to Serbia via Italy and Montenegro. By the time they had reached Montenegro, the First Balkan War had already broken out. The aircraft were transported to Salonika by ship, where they arrived in December 1912. By January 1913, the planes had arrived in Niš, where they were assembled and underwent their first domestic test flights. Four Frenchmen—three pilots and a mechanic—were enlisted to fly and maintain the aircraft alongside their Serbian counterparts. <mask> began training on the Farman HF.20 reconnaissance biplane at Trupalsko polje, near Niš. He was subsequently assigned to the nascent Serbian Air Force's newly formed Littoral Air Detachment (), which was taking part in the siege of Scutari (modern-day Shkodër, Albania).The detachment was tasked with flying reconnaissance missions over the city and its surroundings. Its commander was Major Kosta Miletić. On , the detachment departed for Scutari from Salonika. Three foreign pilots, two Frenchmen and a Russian, accompanied it on its journey. The detachment's three planes—one Deperdussin, one Bleriot and one Farman—reached the port of Shëngjin several days later. From there the aircraft were transported to the village of Barbullush, near Scutari, where the detachment had established an operating base. On the morning of , captains Miloš Ilić and Živojin Stanković attempted to embark on a reconnaissance mission, but were forced to turn back due to strong winds.Captain Jovan Jugović decided to complete Ilić and Stanković's mission with his plane, but strong winds forced him to abort as well. Two different accounts exist of the circumstances that led to <mask>'s death. By one account, <mask> was confident he would not be affected by the wind and readied his plane. The flight was approved by Miletić. Before Petrović took off, Ilić warned him not to fly above , above which altitude

 wind would begin to affect the aircraft; while <mask> agreed not to do so, his plane rose above that altitude regardless. At 10:35 a.m., a strong gust of wind tilted the aircraft at an angle, and the untethered <mask> was pushed out of his seat and fell  to his death. The pilotless Farman HF.20 crashed and was damaged beyond repair.According to the second account, <mask> and Miletić took off as pilot and observer, and successfully completed their mission. Descending towards Barbullush, Miletić shut off the plane's engine and attempted to glide to a landing. The aircraft suddenly went into a spin and <mask> was thrown from the plane, falling to his death on the banks of the Drin River. Military medics quickly arrived at the site where <mask> had fallen, but he was declared dead on the scene, and buried the following day near Barbullush. His death negatively affected the morale of his unit. <mask> is considered the first Serbian Air Force pilot to have been killed in the line of duty. He was also only the second fatality in military aviation history.Under pressure from the Great Powers, Montenegro and Serbia retreated from Scutari in May 1913, the Littoral Air Detachment ceased conducting flights over the city and its pilots returned to Serbia. After the Balkan Wars, <mask>'s remains were exhumed and reburied in the Montenegrin capital, Cetinje. On 1 October 1931, his remains were exhumed once again, and transported to Belgrade's New Cemetery, where they are now interred. The house in which <mask> was born is still standing, and is marked with a commemorative plaque. Belgrade's Aeronautical Museum contains 76 of <mask>'s personal possessions, some of which are on display. In September 2018, the Serbian Air Force base adjacent to Niš Constantine the Great Airport was named after him. See also

He was raised a Roman Catholic and has three older siblings, John, Patricia, and Rita. His mother was of French, Irish, and Scottish descent, and his father was of French-Canadian ancestry (the family's original surname was Carré). At age eight he began making faces before a mirror and discovered a talent for doing impressions. At age ten, <mask> wrote a letter to Carol Burnett of the Carol Burnett Show pointing out that he was already a master of impressions and should be considered for a role on the show; he was overjoyed when he received a form letter reply.A fan of Monty Python whose TV show aired in the 1970s, in 2014 <mask> appeared on Monty Python's Best Bits (Mostly) and recalled the effect on him of Ernest Scribbler (played by Michael Palin) laughing himself to death in "The

His family later moved to Burlington, Ontario, where they would spend eight years; <mask> attended Aldershot High School while there. Some time later, his family became homeless and lived together in a Volkswagen van while teenage <mask> and his brother spent months living in a tent in Charles Daley Park on the Lake Ontario shore in Lincoln, Ontario. The family struggled financially, however, their situation started improving once his father found employment in the accounting department at the Titan Wheels tire factory in Scarborough. Furthermore, in return for living in the house across the street from the factory, the family—primarily teenage sons <mask> and John—would work as janitors and security guards at the tire factory, doing eight-hour shifts from 6p.m. into the next morning.Moving back to Scarborough, teenage <mask> started attending Agincourt Collegiate Institute before dropping out of school on his sixteenth birthday. He began to perform comedy in downtown Toronto while continuing to work at the factory. In a 2007 Hamilton Spectator interview, <mask> said, "If my career in show business hadn't panned out I would probably be working today in Hamilton, Ontario, at the Dofasco steel mill."

<mask>'s first stand-up comedy experience took place in 1977 at the age of 15 with his father trying to help the youngster put together a stage act, driving him to downtown Toronto to debut at the recently-opened Yuk Yuk's comedy club operating one-night-a-week out of a community centre's basement on Church Street. For the performance, the teenager had his attire—a polyester leisure suit—chosen by his mother who reasoned "that's how they dress on The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast". Pubescent <mask>'s conventional impersonations bombed, proving ill-suited for a club with a raunchy Belushiesque comedic sensibility and giving the youngster doubts about his potential as a professional entertainer.Decades later, recalling young <mask>'s stand-up debut, Yuk Yuk's owner Mark Breslin described it as "bad Rich Little". His family's financial struggles made it difficult for them to support <mask>'s show business ambitions. Eventually, the family's financial situation improved and they moved into a new home in Jackson's Point. With more domestic stability, <mask> Yuk's that had in the meantime moved into a permanent location on Bay Street in the fashionable Yorkville district. In a short period of time, the seventeen-year-old went from open-mic nights at the club to regular paid shows, building his reputation in the process. Parallel to his increasing local Toronto-area popularity as an impressionist stand-up comic, <mask> tried to break into sketch comedy, auditioning to be a cast member for the 1980–81 season of NBC's Saturday Night Live.Teenage <mask> ended up not being selected by the show's new executive producer Jean Doumanian who picked thirty-one-year-old Charles Rocket

After not getting Saturday Night Live, <mask> took a voice acting job performing Clutch Cargo-inspired bits on The All-Night Show, an overnight program airing locally on the CFMT-TV channel branded as Multilingual Television (MTV). Continuing to perform his stand-up act of contortionist impressions in the city of Toronto and surrounding towns, in February 1981, nineteen-year-old <mask> was booked as the opening act for the rock band Goddo at The Roxy Theatre in Barrie for two shows on consecutive nights; the rock crowd booed him offstage and he refused to return for the second night. Two weeks later, however, a review of one of <mask>'s spots at Yuk Yuk's—alongside a sizeable photo of him doing a stage impression of Sammy Davis Jr.—appeared in the Toronto Star on the front page of its entertainment section with the writer Bruce Blackadar raving about "a genuine star coming to life". Save for a brief mention in the Barrie Examiner, it was the very first time <mask> received significant mainstream corporate media coverage and the glowing praise in one of Canada's highest-circulation dailies created demand for his impressionist stand-up act throughout the country. In April 1981, he appeared in an episode of the televised stand-up show An Evening at the Improv.That summer, he landed one of the main roles in Introducing... Janet, a made-for-TV movie that premiered in September 1981 on the CBC drawing more than million viewers for its first airing in Canada.

 acting role. The CBC promotion the movie had received as well its subsequent high nationwide viewership further solidified the youngster's comedic status in the country; by the time the movie finished its CBC run of repeats several years later, its title for the home video release on VHS was changed to Rubberface in order to take advantage of the comic's by then established prominence for doing elaborate contortionist impressions. Making more comedy club appearances in the United States, <mask> was soon noticed by comedian Rodney Dangerfield who signed the young comic to open his tour performances. By December 1981, a well-known comic in Canada, Toronto Star reported about the youngster waiting for a United States work permit having received interest from Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, largely off his reputation from Canada. Touring venues throughout North America as the opening act for Rodney Dangerfield, <mask> made a triumphant return home to Toronto on 19 June 1982, performing two sold-out shows at Massey Hall. 1983–1994: Move to Hollywood
In early 1983, <mask> decided to permanently move to Hollywood where he began regularly performing at The Comedy Store.Getting on The Tonight Show became his immediate career goal, and, by spring 1983, he appeared to have achieved it after getting booked for a stand-up set on the highly-rated late night show. However, a lukewarm club set at The Improv got him unbooked. Though struggling to replicate his success in Los Angeles, <mask> continued being a big hit in his hometown Toronto where he returned during late April 1983 to perform at the short-lived B.B. Magoon's theatrical venue on Bloor Street on three consecutive nights. While in town,

Back in L.A., within months, he landed the main role on The Duck Factory, a sitcom being developed for NBC, and, in late November 1983, still got to debut his impressionist act on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson via a promotional appearance for the sitcom about to start airing nationally in the United States on the same network. In the meantime, he was cast for a supporting role in the US$7 million Warner Bros. comedy production Finders Keepers, shot in the Canadian province of Alberta during late summer 1983.For his Tonight Show appearance that aired on American Thanksgiving, 21-year-old <mask> went through his most popular impressions—Elvis Presley, Leonid Brezhnev, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Dern, Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Michael Landon, James Dean, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Charles Nelson Reilly, characters from My Three Sons, and Kermit the Frog & Miss Piggy—in rapid succession. After completing his set, though getting the OK gesture from Carson, the impressionist comic was notably not waved over by the host to join him on the couch—a usual indication that while sufficiently pleased, the powerful host was probably not ecstatic about the performance. The end of 1983 saw <mask> go back home to Toronto once more for a publicized New Years' Eve performance at the Royal York Hotel's Imperial Room. Originally scheduled to start airing in January 1984, The Duck Factory sitcom debut in April, airing Thursdays at 9:30pm between Cheers and Hill Street Blues.

The young impressionist comic would continue getting film roles; throughout late summer and early fall 1985, he shot a supporting part in Francis Ford Coppola's Peggy Sue Got Married which then went into a long post-production process. In parallel, he decided to try out for Saturday Night Live again, this time ahead of the show's 1985-86 season being prepared by returning executive producer Lorne Michaels who was looking to hire an all-new cast. Five years removed from his previous SNL audition, twenty-three-year-old <mask> got rejected again, reportedly never even getting the chance to audition his material—'post-nuclear Elvis' hybrid impression and impersonation of Henry Fonda from On Golden Pond—in front of executive producer Michaels due to the show's producers and senior writers Al Franken, Tom Davis, and <mask> deciding that Michaels would not like it. Unlike his previous SNL rejection, <mask> now had a bit of a movie career to fall back on in addition to his impressionist stand-up act; Once Bitten was released in mid November 1985 and turned out to be a modest box-office hit despite drawing poor reviews.

Finally managing to perform for the show's executive producer Lorne Michaels at a Burbank studio, with returning cast members Dennis Miller, Jon Lovitz, and Nora Dunn also watching the audition, <mask> was rejected again.Among the group of hopefuls auditioning alongside <mask> on this occasion were Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman, both of whom got hired. Sensing that doing only impressions was turning into a career dead-end, <mask> set out to develop a new live comedy act. Much to the dismay of comedy club owners booking him, he began abandoning trademark spastic celebrity impressions, opting instead to try adding observational and character humour to his comedic repertoire, a process that often involved forcing himself to improvise and scramble in front of dissatisfied live audiences that came to see him do impressions. From 1990 to 1994, <mask> was a regular cast member of the ensemble comedy television series In Living Color. While short-lived, the popularity of this series helped him to land his first few major film roles. 1994–1998: Rise to fame
<mask> played the lead role in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective which was released in February 1994 and went on to gross $72 million in the United States and Canada. Following its success and before the release of his next film, The Mask, which was anticipated to be another hit, Morgan Creek Productions paid him $5 million to reprise his role as Ace Ventura and New Line Cinema offered him $7 million to make a sequel to The Mask and paid him $7 million to appear in Dumb and Dumber, a nearly tenfold increase on his salary for Ace Ventura.The Mask,

Directed by Ben Stiller, the film was a satirical black comedy, in which <mask> played a lonely, menacing cable TV installer who infiltrates the life of one of his customers (played by Matthew Broderick). The role was a departure from the "hapless, hyper, overconfident" characters he had been known for. However, it did not fare well with most critics, many reacting to <mask>'s change of tone from previous films. <mask> also starred in the music video of the film's closing song, "Leave Me Alone" by Jerry Cantrell.
