Happy Feast Day of Blessed John Duns Scotus


Today (Nov 8) is the feast day of Blessed John Duns Scotus. This is a day that usually passes unmarked in my calendar, but since I'm taking a class on the "subtle doctor", I feel that I have developed a "personal relationship with Scotus" (to borrow an Evangelical phrase).

As Dr. William Frank reminded us in class, "If you're into invoking saints and blesseds, try Scotus. I have the suspicion that he is not all that busy."

Article on Blessed Duns Scotus from the Catholic Encyclopedia.

Here is a nice Life of Blessed Duns Scotus from the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate.

And for the dedicated, here are some great online Scotist resources and texts: Bl. John Duns Scotus.
