Deep in the thick swamps and woods of Northern Gulf County, amidst the buzz and sting of mosquitoes, chirps of squirrels, and swirls of the Apalachicola, is a long-lost story. One hundred and eighty years ago the town of Iola sprang out of the cypress swamp of what is now north east Gulf County. That small community, was, and still is an enigma in the wilderness of territorial Florida and has all but faded from the memory of Gulf County and is nothing but a boat ramp now.

The image of St. Nicholas has been distorted throughout time and it is important to determine who St. Nicholas really was to best understand his current personification. Many of the realities of St. Nicholas’ story have been twisted by stories that make learning about St. Nicholas difficult.

The historically accurate story of St. Nicholas is very important because it greatly affected the culture. St. Nicholas’ real story can be best seen by examining his young life, and memorable works during his time as a Bishop.

Saint Sebastian is the Patron of Saint of three things. Those three things are soldiers, athletes and those who desire a saintly death. However, in Saint Sebastian’s lifespan he shows multiple Gifts of the Holy Spirit, why he is a saint, and why he is chose to be my patron saint for my Confirmation.

Athanasius’ On the Incarnation In the year 325 A.D., the Council of Nicaea met and addressed the question of who Christ is. The council revolved around a belief known as Arianism, which was started by a priest named Arius. Arius denied that Jesus is divine. He claimed that Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are nothing more than God’s creatures.

This discussion begins by placing its roots in their proper foundation, historic Christian orthodoxy. The reality of the incarnation informs and is informed by all of the core doctrines of the Christian faith. Without an orthodox understanding of any of these aspects, one cannot see the robust, beautiful and awe inspiring truth of the Gospel. Thus, the question surfaces, why have we in the modern church all but completely abandoned the discussion and teaching of the doctrine of the incarnation? The book delves into each of these areas of orthodoxy mentioned thus far, pulling out the intricacies that are brought to fullness in light of the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

He is typically depicted with a book and the baby Child Jesus and is commonly referred to today as the "finder of lost

Irenaeus is known for struggling with Gnostic beliefs. “The knowledge falsely so called,” with true gnosis. Irenaes fines this as the teaching of the apostles and ancient institutions of the church, [p. 181]." Apart from Clement, Iraneaus had no interest in philosophy, but only "through faith in what God had revealed and in what he had done is salvation accomplished," [p. 182].

Two well-known saints in Catholic tradition are St. Francis of Assisi and St. Dominic de Guzman. They are both well known and respected; Francis and Dominic are common Catholic names and their lives have been the subject of many books, articles, movies, etc. It seems to be the common opinion that St. Francis and St. Dominic were very similar. After all, they are both great Medieval saints who lived the consecrated life. However, they cannot be exactly the same, or even have the same vocation. It is not certain, at this point, if St. Francis and St. Dominic have enough similarities to be called similar; if they do, it is unclear how much they are. After some research on the part of the author, the truth appears to be that St. Francis and St.

St. Cyril of Alexandria, the Bishop of Alexandria (which is a Mediterranean port city in Egypt) is one of the most renowned Fathers and Doctor of the Church. He was conferred the title Doctor of the Church by Pope Leo XIII in 1882. At the beginning of the 5th century, theological controversies on the understanding of the mystery of the incarnation and the title of Theotókos bestowed on Mary erupted. One St. Cyril’s most prominent teachings is his defense of Mary as the ‘Theotókos’ against Nestorius who preferred the term Chistotokos. Nestorius’ denial of the title of Theotókos implies that Mary was not the Mother of God, and therefore God had not taken human form in the person of Jesus Christ. Mary was simply the mother of an exemplary man. However, through a careful examination of St. Cyril’s defense of Mary as the Theotókos, we will come to see why Nestorius’ position cannot be held and was condemned at the Council of Ephesus in 431.
