Spirituality & Religious Studies @spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com@spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com ·St. Vincent de Paul
Author’s Note: This post contains mentions of slavery. If this triggers you, you may go to the next post. We understand.
Vincent de Paul (April 24, 1581-September 27, 1660; 79 years old at the time of his passing) was a French Catholic priest who dedicated himself to serving the poor & is best known for founding the Congregation of the Mission & Daughters of Charity.
After being ordained a priest in 1600, de Paul was kidnapped/adult-napped (he was 19 years old at the time) & enslaved for 2 years in Tunis (This was a semi-autonomous territory of the Ottoman Empire; it’s in modern-day Tunisia). He returned to Europe after escaping in 1607 (26 years old at the time).
He then served as a parish priest & in the French royal court before dedicating himself to the poor, founding the Ladies of Charity in 1617 (36 years old at the time). In 1622, de Paul was appointed as chaplain to the galley slaves in Paris.
De Paul founded the Congregation of the Mission (a.k.a. the Vincentians or Lazarists) in 1625 (44 years old). Having vowed poverty, chastity, obedience, & stability, they were to devote themselves entirely to people in smaller towns/villages.
He was a pioneer in seminary education & also founded the Daughters of Charity in 1633 (52 years old). He’s the namesake of the Vincentian Family of organizations, which includes the religious order he founded, among others.
He was renowned for his compassion, humility, & generosity. He was canonized in 1737. He was venerated as a saint in both the Catholic Church & the Anglican Communion.
Vincent de Paul was born on April 24, 1581, in the village of Pouy, in the province of Guyenne & Gascony, Kingdom of France, to peasant farmers. His dad was Jean de Paul & his mom was Bertrande de Moras. He wrote the name on 1 word, Depaul, but none of his correspondents did so.
He had 3 brothers & 2 sisters. He was the 3rd child & demonstrated a talent for literacy early in life. He worked as a child, herding his family’s livestock. At age 15, his dad sent him to a seminary. He paid for this by selling the family’s oxen.
For 3 years, he studied at a college in Dax, Aquitaine. It adjoined a monastery of the Friars Minor (a.k.a. the Franciscans), where he resided. In 1597, he enrolled in theology at the University of Toulouse. The atmosphere at the university was rough. Fights broke out between various factions of students, which escalated into armed battles. An official was murdered by 2 students. Vincent continued his studies, financing them by tutoring others.
Vincent was ordained subdeacon & deacon at Tarbes Cathedral in the French Great South-West, near Périgueux. This was against the regulations established by the Council of Trent, which required a minimum of 24 years old for ordination. So when he was appointed parish priest in Tilh. An appeal against the appointment was made to the Roman Curia.
Rather than respond to a lawsuit in which he would probably not have prevailed, he resigned from the position & continued his studies. On October 12, 1604, he received his Bachelor of Theology from the University of Toulouse. Later, he received a Licentiate in Canon Law from the University of Paris.
Vincent wrote a letter in July 1607 & a postscript in February 1608 that described his experience of abduction & slavery. In 1605, he sailed from Marseille on his way back from Castres, where he had gone to sell property he’d inherited from a wealthy patron in Toulouse. He was taken captive by Barbary pirates, who took him to Tunis. Vincent was auctioned off as a slave, & spent 2 years in bondage.
His 1st “master” was a fisherman. But this wasn’t the life for Vincent because he got seasick. He soon was sold. His next “master” was a spagyric physician (this is a modern medical movement based on the theories & therapies of Paracelsus), alchemist, & inventor. Vincent became fascinated by his art & was taught how to prepare the attention of men who summoned him to Istanbul.
During the passage, the old man died & Vincent was sold once again. His new “master” was a former Catholic priest & Franciscan from Nice, Guillaume Gautier. Gautier had converted to Islam to gain his freedom from slavery & was living in the mountains with 3 wives.
The 2nd wife, a Muslim by birth, was drawn to & visited Vincent in the fields to question him about his faith. She became convinced that his faith was true & admonished her husband for renouncing his Christianity. Her husband became remorseful & decided to escape back to France with his slave.
They had to wait 10 months. But finally they secretly boarded a small boat & crossed the Mediterranean, landing in Aigues-Mortes on June 29, 1607. After returning to France, Vincent went to Rome. There he continued his studies until 1609, when he was sent back to France on a mission to King Henry IV.
Once in France, he made the acquaintance of Pierre de Berulle, whom he took as his spiritual advisor. Andre Duval, of the Sorbonne, introduced him to Canfield’s Rule of Perfection.
In 1612, he was sent as a parish priest to the Church of Saint-Medard in Clichy. In less than a year, Berulle recalled him to Paris to serve as a chaplain & tutor to the Gondi family. The Gondi family was a prominent Florentine banking family and a financial partner of the Medici family.
Although Vincent had initially begun his priesthood with the intention of securing a life of leisure for himself, he underwent a change of heart after hearing the confession of a dying peasant. It was the Countess de Gondi who persuaded her husband to endow & support a group of able & zealous missionaries who would work among poor tenant farmers & country people in general.
On May 23, 1643, after King Louis XIII had passed away, Queen Anne had her husband’s will annulled by the Parlement de Paul (a judicial body composed mostly of nobles & high clergymen), thereby making her the sole Regent. Anne appointed Vincent de Paul as her spiritual advisor.
He helped her deal with religious policy & the Jansenist issue. Jansenism is/was a 17th-18th century Christian theological movement within the Catholic Church, rooted in the writings of Dutch bishop Cornelius Jansen.
Vincent is the patron of all works of charity. Several organizations inspired by his work & teaching & which claim Vincent as their founder or patron saint are grouped in a loose federation known as the Vincentian Family.
Vincent died in Paris on September 27, 1660. Vincent’s body was exhumed in 1712, 53 years after his death. The written account of an eyewitness states that “the eyes & nose alone showed some decay.” However, when the body was exhumed again during the canonization in 1737, it was found to have decomposed due to an underground flood.
According to the custom of the time, his bones were encased in a waxen figure, which is displayed in a glass reliquary in the chapel of the mother house of the Vincentian fathers in Paris (the St. Vincent de Paul Chapel). His heart is still incorrupt & is displayed separately in a reliquary in the chapel of the mother house of the Daughters of Charity.

Queen Anne neighbors to face Seattle officials over parking removal
"Seattle plans to remove 50+ parking spots on Queen Anne’s 14th Ave W to improve emergency vehicle access."
And the Queen Anne neighbours oppose that, just like the Laurelhurst people oppose medical helicopters landing on Seattle Children's. Give me a fuckin' break.

So naturally Bob Kettle, city council's most excited ex-cop who wants a spy network, refused to turn over video footage of my assault directly infront of his home surveillance camera 🥴
I guess Bob Kettle likes his privacy more than solving crimes.
Yet here we are, spying on a few thousand old asian grannies in the CID and probably helping get them in trouble with ICE.

The constitution, 4th amendment, sound crime research and public comment didn't work, concerned Seattle citizens held a noise demo at Bob Kettle's house. City council's loudest supporter of this crap, ex-SPD cop and current neighborhood watch captain of Queen Anne.
And you know what? Bob's band of sundown town vigilantes violently attacked the protesters and I was smashed in the head for holding a fucking sign.

A lot of people don't realize Seattle contains a few sundown towns. Well tonight Queen Anne proved sundown towns are alive and well in Seattle.
After about 15min of starting the noise demo, an enraged mob of karens and kens angrily engaged protesters. A shithead ken pushed a transwoman to get to a speaker (which was not in use) behind her.
He picked up the speaker and hurled it, striking me in the head, nearly in the temple.

Activist held a noise demo Sunday evening at councilman Bob Kettle's house(the guy who called the cops on public commentors).
Councilman Kettle is ramming through the new Seattle stop and frisk law SOAP/SODA. It targets anyone who looks homeless, is dressed similarly to a sexworker or looks like they do drugs and enables cops and courts to banish people from large swaths of neighborhoods.
Unsurprisingly, Bob Kettle lives in Seattle's favorite Sun Down town.

Peter van Onna: ‘Vrede van Utrecht is ook nu actueel’
Utrecht, 7-1-2013 – Driehonderd jaar geleden werd de Vrede van Utrecht getekend, die een eind maakte aan de slepende Spaanse successieoorlog en aan de Oorlog van Queen Anne. Met dit vredesverdrag werd ook de Franse hegemonie in Europa doorbroken en de positie van Engeland in Amerika versterkt.
Het duurde anderhalf jaar voor de vele partijen het met elkaar eens werden en het verdrag geldt als het begin van de moderne diplomatie. Ter ere van de ondertekening componeerde Händel in 1713 zijn Utrecht Jubilate én een Te Deum. Voor de viering van het derde eeuwfeest schrijft Peter van Onna (1966): The Treaty of Utrecht. Deze compositie wordt op 11 januari in première gebracht door de Radio Kamer Filharmonie in Vredenburg Leidsche Rijn en is live te beluisteren op Radio 4.
Het is de eerste politieke compositie van Peter van Onna, die hij componeerde in opdracht van de TROS en De Vrijdag van Vredenburg. Hij werd aangetrokken door het onderwerp, omdat de Vrede van Utrecht nog altijd actueel is: ‘Woedde er destijds oorlog, nu leven we in een tijd van economische en culturele neerslag en ook deze conflicten worden aan de onderhandeltafel beslecht.’
Ik schreef een voorbeschouwing voor Cultuurpers: http://www.cultureelpersbureau.nl/2013/01/peter-van-onna-verdrag-vrede-van-utrecht-is-ook-nu-actueel/
