“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

And in the EF, St. Symphoriam (along with Sts. Timotheus and Hippolytus) is commemorated today with 2nd propers (collect, secret, and postcommunion).
Re Bosworth Field (about 20 miles from here):
KING RICHARD III
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
CATESBY
Withdraw, my lord; I’ll help you to a horse.
KING RICHARD III
Slave, I have set my life upon a cast,
And I will stand the hazard of the die:
I think there be six Richmonds in the field;
Five have I slain to-day instead of him.
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
(Richard iii, Act V)
“In Autun, Lyon, France, the commemoration of St. Symphorianus, a martyr, whom his mother addressed from the city walls, while he was being led to torture, saying, ‘Be born, be born, Symphorianus, keep the living God on your mind. Today, life is not taken away from you, but changed for the better. ‘ ”
“Vita mutatur, non tollitur” is often included when I receive an alumni message to pray for the departed.
Salutationes omnibus
Tom in NY: “Be born”
What would happen if “nate” were vocative?
Si casu vocativo sit, anglice, “son”.
Tibi gratias ago.
Tom in NY: ,b>“son”
Which is, of course, the correct rendering of nate.
Nate, as an imperative, would have to be something like “Ya’ll have a swim!”
“Life is changed not ended” — I have seen it used online by some to refer to their new life in wedded bliss.
Two intersting references to the Church of St. Symphorian (as he is Englished by Lewis Thorpe) occur in St. Gregory of Tours’ ‘History of the Franks’ (II. 15 and VIII.30).
St. Gregory’s accounts of what various Christian Frankish kings and princes did, tend to make plausible the More-Shakespeare version of the history Richard III – which fortunately need not tempt one to abandon well-weighed Riccardianism!
