Miguel Pais Salomão
Dom Miguel Pais Salomão, O.S.C. (died 5 August 1180) was a medieval Portuguese prelate, Bishop of Coimbra from 1158 to 1176. Throughout his episcopate, Miguel Pais Salomão significantly boosted the building works of the Old Cathedral of Coimbra, and granted important privileges to the community of Crosiers of the Monastery of the Holy Cross (to which he had previously belonged) — namely, that of exemption from the jurisdiction of the local ordinary, setting in motion a dispute between the monastery and some of the canons in his own cathedral chapter. He resigned from the bishopric in 1176, and retired to the Monastery of the Holy Cross where he died in 1180 and was buried according to his wishes. On 18 February 1163, Miguel Pais Salomão hosted in his diocese a provincial council, presided by João Peculiar, Archbishop of Braga, to canonise Theotonius of Coimbra. Miguel Pais Salomão was also responsible for the canonisation of Goldrofe of Arganil in 1170, after h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Roman Catholic Diocese Of Coimbra
The Diocese of Coimbra ( la, Dioecesis Conimbricensis) is a Roman Catholic diocese in Coimbra, Portugal. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Braga. From 1472, the bishop of Coimbra held the comital title of Count of Arganil, being thus called Bishop-Count ( pt, Bispo-Conde). History The first known bishop was Lucentius, who participated in the first council of Braga (563), the metropolitan See of Coimbra, until the latter was attached to the ecclesiastical province of Mérida (650-62). Titular bishops of Coimbra continued the succession under the Islamic conquest, one of whom witnessed the consecration of the church of Santiago de Compostela in 876. The see was re-established in 1088, after the reconquest of the city of Coimbra by the Christian forces of Sisnando Davides (1064). The first bishop of the new series was Martin. In the midst of the difficulties of restoring the Church in Portugal in the wake of the request of the country from the Arabs, Bishop Mauricio Burdino ...

Plenary Council
In the Roman Catholic Church, a plenary council is any of various kinds of ecclesiastical synods, used when those summoned represent the whole number of bishops of some given territory. The word itself, derived from the Latin ''plenarium'' (complete or full), hence ''concilium plenarium'', also ''concilium plenum''. Plenary councils have a legislative function that does not apply to other national synods. The ecumenical councils or synods are called plenary councils by Augustine of Hippo, as they form a complete representation of the entire Church. Thus also, in ecclesiastical documents, provincial councils are denominated plenary, because all the bishops of a certain ecclesiastical province were represented. Later usage has restricted the term ''plenary'' to those councils which are presided over by a delegate of the Apostolic See, who has received special power for that purpose, and which are attended by all the metropolitans and bishops of some commonwealth, empire, or kingdom, o ...

12th-century Roman Catholic Bishops In Portugal
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit (measurement), unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest Positive number, positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the sequence (mathematics), infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally ac ...

Intercession
Intercession or intercessory prayer is the act of praying to a deity on behalf of others, or asking a saint in heaven to pray on behalf of oneself or for others. The Apostle Paul's exhortation to Timothy specified that intercession prayers should be made for all people. Christianity In the early Church The early Christians continued to practice intercessory prayer on behalf of others after Jesus' death. Ignatius of Antioch was one man who exhorted Christians to continue to pray for others, and especially for those who became Docetists or held other heretical beliefs. In his letter to the churches of Smyrna, St. Ignatius exhorts the Christians there to pray for other people: "only you must pray to God for them, if by any means they may be brought to repentance, which, however, will be very difficult. Yet Jesus Christ, who is our true life, has the power of ffectingthis". Throughout all of Ignatius's letters, the word for prayers of intercession appears nineteen times, and I ...

Goldrofe Of Arganil
Goldrofe of Arganil, C.R.S.A. ( pt, São Goldrofe or ''Goldofre'', alternatively, ''Golfredo'' or ''Guelindrofe''; ) was a Portuguese Augustinian prior in what is today central Portugal. He is venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. Life Very little is known about the life of Goldrofe. He served as the first prior of the Monastery of Saint Peter, in Arganil; the earliest documental evidence of both the monastery and Goldrofe dates to 1086, when nobleman Vermudo Pais (''Vermudus Paes'') and his wife Elvira Draíz left their properties in Folques in their will to Goldrofe and his religious community ("''Sancto viro Goldrofo priori de Arganil, et Clericis ejus Religiosis''"). The Monastery of Saint Peter would be transferred in 1190, after Goldrofe's death, to these lands, where it remains to this day. Legacy Goldrofe died around 1100, with a reputation for sanctity; after miraculous cures soon after started to be attributed to his intercession, he began to be invok ...

Canonisation
Canonization is the declaration of a deceased person as an officially recognized saint, specifically, the official act of a Christian communion declaring a person worthy of public veneration and entering their name in the canon catalogue of saints, or authorized list of that communion's recognized saints. Catholic Church Canonization is a papal declaration that the Catholic faithful may venerate a particular deceased member of the church. Popes began making such decrees in the tenth century. Up to that point, the local bishops governed the veneration of holy men and women within their own dioceses; and there may have been, for any particular saint, no formal decree at all. In subsequent centuries, the procedures became increasingly regularized and the Popes began restricting to themselves the right to declare someone a Catholic saint. In contemporary usage, the term is understood to refer to the act by which any Christian church declares that a person who has died is a sain ...

Canon (priest)
A canon (from the Latin , itself derived from the Greek , , "relating to a rule", "regular") is a member of certain bodies in subject to an ecclesiastical rule. Originally, a canon was a cleric living with others in a clergy house or, later, in one of the houses within the precinct of or close to a cathedral or other major church and conducting his life according to the customary discipline or rules of the church. This way of life grew common (and is first documented) in the 8th century AD. In the 11th century, some churches required clergy thus living together to adopt the rule first proposed by Saint Augustine that they renounce private wealth. Those who embraced this change were known as Augustinians or Canons Regular, whilst those who did not were known as secular canons. Secular canons Latin Church In the Latin Church, the members of the chapter of a cathedral (cathedral chapter) or of a collegiate church (so-called after their chapter) are canons. Depending on ...

The Monastery of the Holy Cross ( pt, Mosteiro da Santa Cruz, links=no), also known as the Church of the Holy Cross, is a National Monument in Coimbra, Portugal. Because the first two kings of Portugal are buried in the church it was granted the status of National Pantheon.

Its school, with its vast library, was highly respected in medieval times and was a meeting point for the intellectual and power elites. It ...
