The Feast of Blessed Juvenal Ancina, C.O., Bishop
is today. There is information on him here. There are two very good reasons for me to mention this great man of God, even if he were not an Oratorian.
1. This year is the 400th anniversary of the day he went to his reward.
2. Even though he did not want to be a bishop, when ordered to become one he quickly began to clean up his diocese. This resulted in his death, due to a certain friar preferring to commit murder rather than give up his sinful ways. Blessed Juvenal is thus a fine example of a bishop who would not compromise with evil.
