Ivo di Chartres
Martyr of Canon Law ;) collected and reordered all the various rules and regulations giving them consistency and a more handy format. Relatively so anyway as two volumes resulted from his labours: Decretum and Panormia.
1116 the year of the death of this Bishop...895 years later and we can contemplate the possibility of equipping each Bishop with a pocket Kindle to consult the Canon in a click. With an Ask a Canonist a question section. Add to it a Buzzwhenitsensesanheresy App and we can stay assured all our Bps (and clergy) travel in safety.
Zaccaria and Elisabeth
Had Zacharia possessed an ipod, he could have communicated the message by typing. Times were not ripe yet...and the Lord was still at work with old fashioned traditional miracles.
A babe to us is born!

Frances Cabrini
Would a lady saint (or saintly lady) have better dealt with the emergency below? We shall never know. But we can entrust her all the pregnant women living in difficult immigration circumstances. All women facing the same when delivering a baby but circumstances not always equally favourable.
Leonardo di Noblat
An abbot and a delivering Queen...not delivering a speech but a baby. A miraculous turning out of the events that Leonardo happened to be living in his hermitage not far from the spot where King Clodoveo found himself facing an emergency outside of his regular kingly tasks.Worth having renounced the episcopacy?;)

Ernesto
Martyrised when he became prisoner of the Saracens.That was back in the XII century.
Pietro Canisio
Post with which I have already stepped into tomorrow's. 'Followers of new doctrines': we are only in the 16th century and this is the PC wording he used to refer to Lutherans. JP II woud have rubber stamped this ecumenical opening and touch.

Ursicino da Pagliara
Trusting the will of the Lord, he blindly threw his stick to get the sign of where he was to build his monastery (following Colombanus rule)
Adeudato I
A consoling figure in times of darkness.
Casting these posts in the darkness of your doubts praying it will bear light and fruit ;)

Leone I Magno
A stronghold against the barbaric invasions, this Pope stood up to Attila and then Genserico, put Rome's pieces together and set the basis for the Pontifical State keeping a number of emperors under his thumb and setting the relationship between spiritual and temporal level restoring Orthodoxy via a number of conciliums.
Vinibaldus
With his sister Valburga another Saint along with other three members of the family founded in Heidenheim a monastery that was a stronghold for cultural and missionary work.
Nowadays he would have sat in an appropriately structured office along with another keeping up the defence against secular press.

Giosafat
Bishop - looked after the body of Christ wounded by the Orthodox Catholic schism.
Paola Francesca di Rosa
Woman manager for her family silk business, she also led the Ancelle della carità taking care of the bodies wounded by cholera.
Martin of Tours
Iron soldiery fist against all oppressors and heresies. Silk smooth handling with those in need of his episcopal charity. One wonders what quality he called upon in battling...converting from paganism.
Adelaides
Empreress. Managed the Kingdom after the death of her husband and son. Many monasteries and chapels were built thanks to this lady. Chapels the name derives from 'cape' and is taken from Martin's gesture of donating his to a beggar.
