Catholic Word of the Day: LEGEND OF THE SAINTS, 09-08-14
CCDictionary ^ | 09-08-14 | Fr. John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary

Featured Term (selected at random:

LEGEND OF THE SAINTS

 

 

Popular biographical stories of the saints. Not entirely fictitious, they possess a substratum of truth, usually under considerable embellishment. The Church has consistently sought to sift this substratum of truth from the legendary additions, as in the Breviary reform under St. Pius X and the total revision of the Liturgy of the Hours by pope Paul VI, according to the directives of the Constitution on the Liturgy of the Second Vatican Council.

All items in this dictionary are from Fr. John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary, © Eternal Life. Used with permission.
