John Punch (theologian)
John Punch, O.F.M. (or John Ponce or, in the Latinate form, Johannes Poncius) (1603–1661) was an Irish Franciscan scholastic philosopher and theologian. Punch was ultimately responsible for the now classic formulation of Ockham's Razor, in the shape of the Latin phrase ''entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem'', "entities are not to be multiplied unnecessarily." A. C. Crombie, ''Medieval and Early Modern Science'' II (1959 edition) pg. 30. His formulation was slightly different: ''Non sunt multiplicanda entia sine necessitate.''Johannes Poncius’s commentary on John Duns Scotus's ''Opus Oxoniense'', book III, dist. 34, q. 1. in John Duns Scotus ''Opera Omnia'', vol.15, Ed. Luke Wadding, Louvain (1639), reprinted Paris: Vives, (1894) p.483a Punch did not attribute this wording to William of Ockham, but instead referred to the principle as a "common axiom" (''axioma vulgare'') used by the Scholastics.

Michael John Brenan
Michael John Brenan (1780 – 1847) was an Irish Roman Catholic priest and a scholar of church history who gained notoriety through his temporary defection from the Catholic Church to the Church of Ireland (Anglican). Life Brenan was born in Kilkenny, in the Kingdom of Ireland, the son of a stonemason. After his ordination to the Catholic priesthood, Brenan quickly obtained a reputation as a preacher, but, possibly out of personal issues, quickly came into collision with his bishop and was suspended from his office. He then left the Catholic Church, became an Anglican and was taken up by an early form of the later Priests' Protection Society under whose auspices he was announced to preach at St. George's Church in Dublin. In the meantime he reconsidered his position and repented of his defection. Brenan resolved to make public reparation for his defection to Anglicanism. On the Sunday in 1809 that he was announced to commence his campaign against the Catholic Church, he ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Angelus Of St
The Angelus (; Latin for "angel") is a Catholic devotion commemorating the Incarnation of Christ. As with many Catholic prayers, the name ''Angelus'' is derived from its incipit—the first few words of the text: ("The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary"). The devotion is practiced by reciting as versicle and response three Biblical verses narrating the mystery, alternating with the prayer "Hail Mary". The Angelus exemplifies a species of prayers called the "prayer of the devotee".''Prayer: a history'' by Philip Zaleski, 2005 p. 128 The devotion is traditionally recited in Roman Catholic churches, convents, monasteries and by the faithful three times a day: in the morning, at noon and in the evening (usually just before or after Vespers). The devotion is also observed by some Anglican, Western Rite Orthodox, and Lutheran churches. The Angelus is usually accompanied by the ringing of the Angelus bell, which is a call to prayer and to spread goodwill to everyone. The a ...
