Marcello Candia
Marcello Candia (1916-1983) was an Italian Roman Catholic industrialist and entrepreneur who became active in the missions in Brazil. He worked to protect Jewish people during World War II and was involved in preventing their deportation and the creation of documents that would save their lives.br
In 1950, at his father's death and at WWII end, Marcello Candia assumed full management of his family chemical industrial factory headquartered in Milan with full control of its operation across Italy. After experiencing the world devastation of WWII, Marcello developed a deep awareness for the plight of the poor people, concern that prompted him to sell his factory in 1964 (creating | 6,133,305 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
a rift with his younger brother Riccardo) and moved to Brazil to assist the people in need living in the Amazones. It was in Brazil that he worked for the needs of the poor as he was dedicated to social justice initiatives and supported the work of the local charities. Candia was subject to suspicion in the beginning since there were those missionaries who were confused at someone from a rich background coming to serve the poor as a poor man. He shrugged off those suspicions and considered himself a disciple of the poor who wished to alleviate their suffering and social conditions.
His main concern was the construction of a hospital to be managed for the poor with construction starting in 1961 | 6,133,306 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
and concluding at the decade's end when it was inaugurated. He also opened a center outside the town he lived in for the lepers and began working with them until the end of his life. Candia's health grew worse over time despite his exhaustive work standards which led to several health crises leading to his death back in his native homeland where he had made annual visits.
# Legacy.
In 1982, not long before his death, Marcello Candia created the Fondazione Marcello Candia Foundation, to assist populations in need by offering health and education programs managed from its main office in Milan, Italy.
The cause for his beatification opened in 1990 titling him as a Servant of God; confirmation | 6,133,307 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
of his life of heroic virtue enabled for Pope Francis to title Candia as Venerable in 2014.
# Life.
## Education and activism.
Marcello Candia was born in Naples in 1916 while his parents where temporarily expanding business in Southern Italy. Marcello is the third of five children to Camillo Candia, an industrialist from Milan family, and Luigia Mussato (often called "Bice"; 1890-7.2.1933). He was baptized on 4 August at the church of Santa Maria della Natività and he later received his Confirmation on 11 June 1925 at the church of Sant'Andrea Apostolo in Como near his parent residence. His siblings were (in order):
- Linda
- Fernanda
- Emilia
- Riccardo
Candia said of his parents: | 6,133,308 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
"I had parents who gave me a zeal for life".
He inherited from his father Dr. Camillo Candia, the largest chemical manufacturer of carbonic-acids in Northern Italy at the time, the renown "Fabbrica italiana di acido carbonico dottor Candia & C." (English: "Italian Factory of Carbonic Acid, Doctor Candia & Company"). His father served as an industrialist and founded several carbonic acid factories with head office in Milan, before transferring operations to Naples and eventually spreading business to Pisa and Aquila. His father, following his mother devotion, retained his upbringing in the faith but was not active in practicing it; he was respectful of others and was a keen supporter of social | 6,133,309 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
justice initiatives. His father was also opposed to fascism and enrolled his children in private schools to ensure his children were not tainted from the totalitarian ideas. Candia's mother instilled the faith in her children and collaborated with local charities; he accompanied his mother to visit the poor at the end of each week.
In 1928 he started to help the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin on Via Piave in Rome in giving soup to the poor. His mother died in 1933 from pneumonia and his grief at her death was so profound that he fell ill and from that moment suffered from frequent headaches and bouts of insomnia. It was after this that the Capuchin friar Cecilio Cortinovis encouraged him to | 6,133,310 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
work for local charities. Some people accused him of leading a double life since he was rich and elegant while, on the other hand, he was in constant dialogue with God and wanted nothing more than to serve Him. In 1939 he acquired a Ph.D. that made him a chemist and he worked at the beginning of World War II in explosives before he worked with his father and continuing his studies at University of Pavia. He earned his doctorate in 1943 in biological sciences. Since September 1943, Candia took active part participating in the resistance against the Nazi forces that occupied the region (also working with the National Liberation Committee) and he often risked his own life working with the Capuchin | 6,133,311 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
friars assisting the Jews threatened with deportation. The war's end saw him help deportees and prisoners return to their homes while he opened a medical and humanitarian welcome center at the local train station with three friends.
## Post Wolrd War II Initial work.
In 1945, Marcelo Candia and Elda Scarsella Marzocchi founded the "House of Mother and Child" to take care and help teenage women in crisis pregnancies and their children. He hid this from his father knowing he would not approve though he found out and approved of it knowing that it did good work for those who needed it most. But his father thought that his son's piousness and regular Mass attendance was exaggerated though never | 6,133,312 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
interfered in this. But his Capuchin spiritual director (Fra Genesio da Gallarate; secular: Alessandro Premazzi) did not approve of his collaboration with Marzocchi believing that a home for teenage mothers was not a suitable environment for one who desired to live celibate. Candia, therefore, ended his involvement and began the magazine titled "The Mission" in 1947. He later co-founded the "College for Overseas Students" in Milan alongside Giuseppe Lazzati at the encouragement of the new Archbishop of Milan Giovanni Battista Montini - the future Pope Paul VI.
In 1950 his father died and he inherited the business. During the night on 22 October 1955 there was an accidental explosion of 60 000 | 6,133,313 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
liters of carbonic acid that killed two people while causing destruction to the warehouse that had just been renovated. Candia provided for the families of the victims and assumed the task of reconstructing the warehouse so that no client or worker would be wronged due to the accident. It was around this point that he first met the Capuchin friar Alberto Beretta (the brother of Saint Gianna) who was preparing to leave for the missions in Brazil; during his conversation with Beretta it was communicated to Marcello of the terrible conditions of the poor people of the Amazones. In 1957 he made his first visit to Macapá in Brazil, where he studied the issues and assessed the local needs and problems | 6,133,314 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
at the request of the PIME priest Aristide Pirovano. Eventually, he commissioned the building of a church for the Saint Benedict parish. In 1965, he met in a private audience with Pope Paul VI just before moving to Brazil, later he said of the decision: "I am called to live with them". One of his initial barriers was his difficulties in learning the Brazilian Portuguese language. To finance his Missionary enterprise, Candia sold his father's business the profitable Italian Factory of Carbonic Acid, Dr. Candia & Company, leaving all behind in Italy and relocating to Macapá; around that time in 1964 this action caused an extreme rift with his younger brother Riccardo who resented the fact that | 6,133,315 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
he sold the organization to go to Brazil.
## Brazil.
Once he was living fulltime in Brazil, he could dedicate himself to his dream helping the poor people of the Amazones, through the construction of a local hospital dedicated for the poor though he made annual visits to his home in Italy. In 1961, he began the construction utilizing his own fortune to fund the initiative since he wanted to name the hospital in honor of his parents. Unfortunately, in 1967 he suffered a heart attack causing a decline in his health though he returned to work after making gradual improvement. It was after this incident, in 1967 he decided to organize a hospital for the lepers in Marituba as well as providing | 6,133,316 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
them with additional essential services. In 1969 his hospital was inaugurated, at that moment he remembered the important advice of the then-Cardinal Montini "to make the hospital for the poor people of Brazil" rather than just a plain hospital with a narrow or personal purpose. Candia liked reading about the lives of Pier Giorgio Frassati and Saint Thérèse of Lisieux while at his new home had no running water in his room; this prompted him to use the tap-water outside to fill a jug for self-wash and shave. In 1975 a popular Brazilian magazine dedicated a long article to him titled "The Best Man in Brazil" - he was quick to shrug this honor off and said: "I am but a humble instrument of Providence". | 6,133,317 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
Since 1967 he suffered four consecutive heart attacks and grew fearful that another could claim his life; on 9 April 1977 (Good Friday) he had to have a triple bypass in São Paulo and was urged to seek better treatment in his homeland if he wished to survive. Candia returned to his work in Brazil a month later after heading back home for treatment. In 1982 he founded the Fondazione Candia to keep his work alive. During his time in Brazil he became known as the "Doctor Schweitzer of the Amazon" and in 1980 met Pope John Paul II after the latter visited his leper hospital. He collapsed due to ill health in May 1983 prompting plans for him to go to Milan for treatment.
## Illness and death.
He | 6,133,318 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
left Belem for his homeland on 10 August 1983 knowing he would die there but wanted to get his health checked as well as to reconcile with his brother Riccardo with whom there were difficulties. But he fell ill on the plane and once he arrived at the airport in Paris he collapsed and was rushed to hospital. He was taken to the San Pio X Clinic in Milan on 11 August. The skin cancer soon metastasized to his liver causing liver cancer. He died on 31 August 1983 at 5:30pm in the San Pio X Clinic in Milan and Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini presided over his funeral on 2 September. He had died from liver cancer and skin cancer as well as a related bone tumor over his right lung. His remains were later | 6,133,319 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
transferred on 6 April 2006 to the parish of the SS. Guardian Angels and were placed to the left side of the altar.
# Beatification cause.
The beatification process opened under Pope John Paul II on 20 January 1990 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued an edict declaring "nihil obstat" (no objections to the cause) and titling Candia as a Servant of God. Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini oversaw the diocesan phase of investigation in Milan from 12 January 1991 until its closure at a Mass on 8 February 1994; the C.C.S. validated the process on 15 December 1995.
The postulation then compiled a Positio dossier which was submitted to the C.C.S. in 1998 for assessment. Theologians evaluated | 6,133,320 |
55512807 | Marcello Candia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcello%20Candia | Marcello Candia
ilan from 12 January 1991 until its closure at a Mass on 8 February 1994; the C.C.S. validated the process on 15 December 1995.
The postulation then compiled a Positio dossier which was submitted to the C.C.S. in 1998 for assessment. Theologians evaluated the dossier and voiced their assent for the cause on 8 March 2013 as did the cardinal and bishop members of the C.C.S. sometime in 2014. Pope Francis named Candia as Venerable on 8 July 2014 after promulgating a decree that confirmed that Candia had lived a model life of heroic virtue.
The current postulator for this cause is Dr. Francesca Consolini.

Operation Aztec
Operation Aztec was a military operation launched by the Republic of Rhodesia against the communist backed insurgent group ZANLA, in Mozambique from 28 May to 2 June 1977. The successful operation resulted in the destruction of Mozambique's railway in Gaza Province, limiting the movement of enemy soldiers, and equipment from Mozambique to the Rhodesian border.
# Background.
A three-pronged Rhodesian attack on FRELIMO and ZANLA staging posts in Mozambique's Gaza Province was planned to restrict the guerrillas' infiltration into the south-east of Rhodesia, in order to deliver a decisive blow to the enemy's ability to launch incursions into Rhodesia. The 2nd Battalion, of the | 6,133,322 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
Rhodesia Regiment would penetrate the border of Mozambique south from Vila Salazar, a small village near the corner of Mozambique, Rhodesia and South Africa, and attack a ZANLA staging camp to create a diversion. At the same time, a group of heliborne men from the Rhodesian Light Infantry would attack ZANLA's Rio base close to the Nuanetsi River while two sticks of RLI paratroopers would be dropped into Madulo Pan, a major ZANLA position near the fork of the Nuanetsi and Limpopo. The Selous Scouts would move as a flying column along the Vila Salazar–Maputo railway line and destroy all ZANLA camps between Vila Salazar and Jorge do Limpopo, a key strategic position on the railway.
# The Operation.
The | 6,133,323 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
operation began on 28 May 1977, at dusk, when 72 Selous Scouts crossed the border near Vila Salazar on a bush track, dressed in FRELIMO uniforms, driving 14 FRELIMO-pattern vehicles and commanded by Major John Murphy, an American Vietnam veteran. Moving slowly because of the darkness, they reached the south-bound Chicualacuala road soon after first light, just in time to see the Rhodesian Air Force (RhAF) Canberra bombers flying over on their way to drop air strikes on Madulo Pan soon after 06:00. Two twelve-man sticks from 2 Commando, RLI sat aboard a Dakota, ready to parachute into Madulo Pan from , led by the two stick leaders, Lance-Corporals Jimmy Swan and "Budgie" Nicholson. Just after | 6,133,324 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
the Canberra air strikes, the paratroopers dropped to engage any ZANLA guerrillas who remained from the 150 based there. Though parachute troops were usually the target of ground fire while in the air, this time there was none; the area was silent as 2 Commando landed. The soldiers formed up into an extended sweep line and advanced towards the camp, which had been almost completely destroyed by the Rhodesian bombing raid. Neither insurgents nor bodies were found, but the 2 Commando men did discover fresh tracks heading east, directly towards Jorge do Limpopo. The Rhodesians judged that the guerrillas must have hastily evacuated the camp, having been forewarned at short notice, and retreated | 6,133,325 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
towards the town.
The RLI men were then instructed to fall in near the road and await Murphy's flying column, which had nearly reached Jorge do Limpopo. The flying column was easily spotted by 2 Commando because of the manner of their advance; the extremely aggressive Scouts were firing into any position that could potentially be an ambush as they moved, sending huge plumes of dust into the air at regular intervals. The two Rhodesian forces rendezvoused, combined and drove on towards Jorge do Limpopo in the disguised vehicles. They met with scattered FRELIMO–ZANLA rocket and mortar fire when they reached the town's outskirts. The Scouts returned heavy fire, all 14 vehicles opening up their | 6,133,326 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
guns at the same time, while Murphy called for air support. With this in mind, he told the RLI paratroopers to advance quickly on foot and take out the anti-aircraft guns up ahead.
The 24 men from 2 Commando charged the anti-aircraft positions as RhAF Hawker Hunters flew in overhead at , strafing the FRELIMO–ZANLA lines. The guerrillas retreated into well-camouflaged foxholes as the Rhodesians moved forward. The RLI men were now joined by most of the Selous Scouts, who left their vehicles outside the town. Nearby buildings were swept for hidden guerrillas while 2 Commando bombed three bunkers, killing nine or ten FRELIMO fighters. With resistance at the town's border destroyed, the Scouts now | 6,133,327 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
advanced through it street by street, clearing it quickly, efficiently and ruthlessly. The Rhodesians rendezvoused at Jorge do Limpopo railway station, where the flying column's vehicles assembled. Murphy discovered that the main ZANLA base had been moved to Mapai, a village with an airstrip on the Nuanetsi River to the south-west, and diverted his force to attack it. He advised 2 Commando that three of its sticks—the two from Madulo Pan, and another—would remain to defend Jorge do Limpopo against any potential counter-attack, commanded by Lieutenant Mike Rich, while the rest of the Commando would support the Selous Scouts' advance on Mapai. When all was prepared late on the 29 thMay, Murphy | 6,133,328 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
enthusiastically broadcast the column's departure, waving his arms and shouting, "Tally ho and away we go!"
The men who remained at Jorge do Limpopo resolved to set up an ambush position in a patch of tall trees to the north of the town, as nowhere else nearby provided any cover. As most of the air force had now returned to Rhodesia, with the remaining helicopters supporting the column, the RLI men felt abandoned, in the open and somewhat nervous. While the soldiers quietly moved around the trees, about from a road, they heard shouting ahead, and dropped to the ground to avoid being seen, facing the road in an extended line. Between 50 and 60 heavily armed ZANLA guerrillas, armed with RPD light | 6,133,329 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
machine-guns, RPG-7 rocket launchers and similar weapons, marched past. They were on their way to attack the flying column, and did not notice the RLI men hiding near the road. Rich decided to proceed with the plan to set up the ambush in the trees and call for assistance regarding the cadres, reasoning that attacking now would only get his men killed. However, just after radioing in about the ZANLA unit, Rich's men were set upon by mortars and small arms fire; the guerrillas had spotted them. The Rhodesian commander requested reinforcements, but was told that troops were too thinly spread to immediately assist. Laying prone in a 360-degree formation, the 2 Commando men defended their position | 6,133,330 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
against ZANLA fighters attacking from all sides. Late on the first day, the Rhodesians killed three of the cadres, then dragged the corpses behind their lines to avoid giving away their exact location. As the nationalist commanders did not know exactly where the RLI men were, the ZANLA mortars were being fired with little concern for accuracy. The barrage continued all night, pinning the Rhodesians down while the nationalists retook Jorge do Limpopo. At dawn on 30 May, Rich decided to stay in their pocket in the trees and await reinforcements rather than attempt a rash break-out into open enemy territory, which would surely result in their own massacre.
The Rhodesians retreated further into | 6,133,331 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
the dark trees late on 30 May in a successful attempt to further confuse the guerrillas as to their precise position. Growing impatient, the cadres now began firing "anywhere and everywhere," in Swan's words. The RLI men kept silent to avoid giving their location away. Nationalists began coming into the trees after them, and again and again the Rhodesians held their fire until the last second before killing them and hiding their bodies. With each guerrilla attack, the 2 Commando men moved, turning the situation into one of cat and mouse. At Mapai, the column defeated a numerically-superior and well-prepared FRELIMO–ZANLA force at the airstrip outside the town before resting for the night. Trooper | 6,133,332 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
C. J. Edmunds, who was killed during this action, was one of two Rhodesian fatalities during Operation "Aztec". Rich's men were now able to call air support, which arrived minutes later in the form of Hawker Hunters, "our saviours", says Swan; the planes showered the guerrillas with SNEB rockets and 40 mm cannon fire, causing them to retreat back to Jorge do Limpopo. At Mapai, an RhAF Dakota was hit by an RPG-7 rocket while taking off at 20:00 on 30 May, killing its co-pilot, Flight Lieutenant Bruce Collocott.
The next morning, on 31 May, the Rhodesians at Mapai blew up the damaged Dakota to avoid its discovery by the United Nations, which had warned Rhodesia to keep its troops out of Mozambique. | 6,133,333 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
The RhAF bombed FRELIMO and ZANLA positions around Mapai at the same time just before the Scouts' flying column attacked the village and took it without significant resistance. Hidden caches of materiel were captured, as well as several Soviet-manufactured ZANLA vehicles, which were repaired and then used to carry recovered weapons and equipment. Murphy's Selous Scouts were now told to turn south and lay waste to as much of the railway as they could within a distance of before returning. Murphy disregarded this restriction, however, wiping out railway bridges and stations as far south as Mabalane, about away; at Mabalane, his unit destroyed the only railway steam crane in Mozambique. Meanwhile, | 6,133,334 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
the RLI men in the pocket near Jorge do Limpopo, though dangerously low on food, equipment and weapons, held out for two more days without loss, killing several more cadres who attempted to overrun their position. On 2 June 1977, they were relieved by the rest of 2 Commando, who were returning from Mapai with the Selous Scouts column. The RLI sped along the nearby road in armoured trucks, firing heavily upon any guerrillas they saw, and stopped near where the pocketed men were hiding. When the men in the vehicles gave the all-clear signal Rich's men, by now emaciated due to exhaustion and lack of nourishment, ran to them with the last of their strength and had to be pulled into the trucks by | 6,133,335 |
55513408 | Operation Aztec | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Aztec | Operation Aztec
of their strength and had to be pulled into the trucks by their comrades.
# Aftermath.
By the time "Aztec" closed on 2 June 1977, at least 60 FRELIMO and ZANLA men had been killed, though Selous Scouts commanding officer Lieutenant-Colonel Ron Reid-Daly did not measure the operation's success in these terms. Instead what Lieutenant-Colonel Ronald Reid-Daly found to be the most important was the severe damage that had been inflicted upon ZANLA's morale and to FRELIMO's infrastructure in the region, which had been mostly destroyed. The destruction of Mozambique's railway in Gaza Province, limited the transfer of ZANLA fighters, and equipment from the Mozambican ports to the Rhodesian border. | 6,133,336 |

Global Wrestling Network
Global Wrestling Network (GWN) was a digital streaming service and mobile app owned by Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, a subsidiary of Anthem Sports & Entertainment and parent company of Impact Wrestling. It primarily featured content from the Impact video library, along with original programming and content from independent and international promotions. The service ceased operating on May 1, 2019 when it was replaced by Impact Plus.
# History.
The first service to stream Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) content on-demand happened in 2009, when the company launched its own 'TNA Video Vault'. The service changed its name to 'TNA On Demand' in 2010 and ran up until | 6,133,337 |
55513503 | Global Wrestling Network | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global%20Wrestling%20Network | Global Wrestling Network
around early 2013. The company also launched the 'TNA Wrestling Plus' YouTube channel - where users could rent pay-per-views and documentaries previously released on DVD. In early 2017, Anthem launched the 'Total Access TNA' (later renamed 'Total Access Impact') originally for UK users after Challenge TV's TNA broadcasting contract had expired.
In June 2017, Executive Vice President of Anthem Sports and Entertainment Ed Nordholm told "The Tennessean" that the company once known as TNA had rebranded. As part of expanding the brand, Nordholm said he had been planning an on demand service that would tap into TNA's video library. "The Tennessean" noted that the library was valuable as TNA had previously | 6,133,338 |
55513503 | Global Wrestling Network | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global%20Wrestling%20Network | Global Wrestling Network
signed many legendary wrestlers and several wrestlers who appeared in TNA later signed with WWE.
At the time of the rebranding, the company had been named Impact Wrestling after its flagship program, and had assumed the name of Global Force Wrestling (GFW). In October 2017, Jeff Jarrett left the company and it reverted to the Impact Wrestling name as Jarrett owned the rights to GFW. The Global Wrestling Network (GWN) name had been influenced by its connection to GFW.
The launch of GWN was hinted on "Impact!", until an announcement on the August 31, 2017 episode revealed a planned release in September. Nordholm appeared on "Wrestling Observer Radio" on September 9 and stated that the goal of | 6,133,339 |
55513503 | Global Wrestling Network | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global%20Wrestling%20Network | Global Wrestling Network
the network was to be an alternative brand to the WWE Network. The network temporarily went live on September 12, 2017 while the infrastructure was being tweaked, but was taken down by the next day.
Global Wrestling Network officially launched on October 10, 2017. A 30-day free trial period was offered at launch. The service features free content for subscribers along with a premium content service for $7.99 USD in all available territories. Over 1,000 hours of content from the Impact Wrestling libraries are available to subscribers but the network also includes tape libraries from the Fight Network, Border City Wrestling, "Wrestling at the Chase" and other sources.
In November 2017, content | 6,133,340 |
55513503 | Global Wrestling Network | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global%20Wrestling%20Network | Global Wrestling Network
from several independent promotions such as WrestleCade, Rocky Mountain Pro, DEFY Wrestling and Future Stars of Wrestling were added to GWN.
On August 14, 2018 Jeff Jarrett and his company Global Force Entertainment announced that it had filed a lawsuit against Impact Wrestling's parent company Anthem Sports & Entertainment in the District Court of Tennessee for copyright infringement over the GFW rights, as Jarrett owned all Global Force Wrestling properties since its creation in 2014. If the lawsuit by Jarrett is successful, Impact would need to immediately suspend the operations of their streaming subscription service under its current name.
On April 28, 2019, during its Rebellion pay-per-view, | 6,133,341 |
55513503 | Global Wrestling Network | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global%20Wrestling%20Network | Global Wrestling Network
Impact announced the launching of its new premium streaming service, Impact Plus which replaced Global Wrestling Network.

55513549 | Operation Snoopy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Snoopy | Operation Snoopy
Operation Snoopy
Operation Snoopy was an operation launched by Rhodesia in response to Air Rhodesia Flight 825 being shot down by the communist backed insurgent group the ZANLA. The Operation took place in Mozambique where many of the ZANLA's camps were located, particularly in the area in and around Chimoio.
# Background.
After the Viscount passenger plane was shot down by the communist backed insurgents many Rhodesians clamoured for a massive retaliatory strike against terrorist targets in Zambia, since this was where a large number of the insurgents were based. However, the first external target hit by the Rhodesian Security Forces following the Viscount shootdown was the prominent cluster | 6,133,345 |
55513549 | Operation Snoopy | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation%20Snoopy | Operation Snoopy
of ZANLA bases around Chimoio in Mozambique.
# The Operation.
The Rhodesians destroyed the ZANLA's camps in and around the town of Chimoio through a combination of ground operations and air strikes by the Rhodesian Air Force. In total the security forces attacked and destroyed twenty-five insurgent camps. The camps were spread over a 33km2 area, which was approximately 70km from the Rhodesian border.
During the operation Mozambique sent armoured vehicles to ZANLA's aid in the form of nine Soviet-made T-54 tanks and four Russian BTR-152 armoured personnel carriers. However, the Mozambicans were easily sent into a rout by the elite units of the Rhodesian Security Forces, who managed to destroy | 6,133,346 |

A's aid in the form of nine Soviet-made T-54 tanks and four Russian BTR-152 armoured personnel carriers. However, the Mozambicans were easily sent into a rout by the elite units of the Rhodesian Security Forces, who managed to destroy one of the Mozambicans' armoured vehicles, and kill an unknown number of Mozambicans.
Hawker Hunter fighter-bombers from the RhAF destroyed another two Mozambican armoured personnel carriers. According to official Rhodesian figures, "several hundred" guerrillas killed during "Operation Snoopy", while the security forces lost only two troopers. One of whom was SAS trooper Steve Donnelly who was accidentally killed by a friendly air strike involving a Golf Bomb. | 6,133,347 |
55513580 | Like Lesser Gods | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Like%20Lesser%20Gods | Like Lesser Gods
Like Lesser Gods
Like Lesser Gods is a 1949 novel by Mari Tomasi about the Italian-American stonecutters of Granitetown (a fictionalized version of Barre, Vermont), and their dedication to the work despite the danger of silicosis. Originally published by Bruce, a small Catholic press, it was republished by the New England Press in 1988 and 1999.
# Story.
For years, Maria Dalli pleads with her husband Pietro, a granite carver, to take up a less dangerous line of work. Pietro refuses. One day at work, the boss threatens to fire Pietro's co-worker for making a mistake. Pietro tells Maria that if the boss were ever to treat him that way, he would quit.
Later, Maria finds out that Pietro has been | 6,133,348 |
55513580 | Like Lesser Gods | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Like%20Lesser%20Gods | Like Lesser Gods
hard at work on what he considers his masterpiece: a granite headstone in the form of a cross, "smothered" in vines. Remembering what Pietro said about quitting, she wakes in the middle of the night, slips into the shed where Pietro works, and chips away a piece of the stone. Her plan fails: when the workers arrive the next morning, it is obvious to everyone, including the boss, that Pietro's work has been deliberately sabotaged.
Pietro never suspects his wife, but Pietro's uncle, Mister Tiff, confronts her. He promises not to tell, and advises her to accept the fact that for Pietro, his work will always be paramount.
Silicosis gradually destroys Pietro's health, and he is admitted to a sanitorium, | 6,133,349 |
55513580 | Like Lesser Gods | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Like%20Lesser%20Gods | Like Lesser Gods
where he dies a slow death. (The sanitorium in the novel closely resembles the one on Beckley Hill in Barre that treated local granite workers.) In his final moments he imagines he is back in the shed, at work on his finest piece, the granite cross.
In "The Italian American Novel", Rose Basile Green writes, "The point of "Like Lesser Gods" is that the work men do is their participation in the divine order of creation." According to Helen Barolini, Tomasi is also implicitly contrasting the choices available to men and women in the Dallis' culture. Pietro is entitled to put his pride of workmanship ahead of all other concerns, including family; Maria is not. Given that Tomasi produced only two | 6,133,350 |
55513580 | Like Lesser Gods | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Like%20Lesser%20Gods | Like Lesser Gods
novels in her lifetime, Barolini asks, "Could Tomasi have felt in her own life that, as a woman, she could not, as Pietro did, give everything to her art?"
# Characters.
- Pietro Dalli, a granite carver from the Piedmont region of Italy
- Maria Dalli, his wife
- Mister Tiff, Pietro's uncle, who represents an "un-Americanized, old world morality."
# Publication.
Tomasi began working on "Like Lesser Gods" as early as 1941. She was working for the Federal Writers' Project in Vermont at the time, interviewing granite workers and their families. This research not only informed the novel but influenced her writing style. Interviewers were advised to write straightforward, detailed prose, avoiding | 6,133,351 |
55513580 | Like Lesser Gods | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Like%20Lesser%20Gods | Like Lesser Gods
"flowery" or "gaudy" language; as examples, they were given excerpts from the writings of Émile Zola and from Pietro Di Donato's "Christ in Concrete".
The novel grew from a short story, "Stone", which first appeared in "Common Ground" in 1942. In 1948 Tomasi received a fellowship from Bruce, a small, Milwaukee-based Catholic publisher, which allowed her to complete the novel. It was published in 1949, and launched at a reception in New York City. It was republished by the New England Press (Shelburne, Vermont) in 1988 and 1999. An excerpt is included in Helen Barolini's "The Dream Book: An Anthology of Writings by Italian American Women".
Tomasi's collection of interviews was published posthumously | 6,133,352 |
55513580 | Like Lesser Gods | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Like%20Lesser%20Gods | Like Lesser Gods
in 2004. That book, "Men Against Granite", takes its title from a passage in "Like Lesser Gods", when Pietro's doctor is preparing to deliver the bad news: "Stonecutters were all the same. Men against granite. They hated to admit defeat."
# Reception.
Soon after its publication, "Like Lesser Gods" was named Book of the Month by the Catholic Literary Foundation. It was one of the few works by women discussed in Rose Basile Green's pioneering study, "The Italian-American Novel" (1974). Green wrote, "More than a document of regional history, Miss Tomasi's book is an evocative and symbolic story, a lucid picture of America at work, a colorful weaving of the Italian ethnic experience into the American | 6,133,353 |
55513580 | Like Lesser Gods | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Like%20Lesser%20Gods | Like Lesser Gods

Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018
The Pakistan cricket team visited Ireland in May 2018 to play a Test match against the Ireland cricket team. It was the first Test match played by the Ireland men's team since they were awarded Test status by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in June 2017. The Ireland women's cricket team had previously played a Women's Test match, also against Pakistan, in July 2000.
Pakistan won the one-off fixture by five wickets, with Ireland's Kevin O'Brien named as the man of the match, after he scored the first century for Ireland in Test cricket. Despite the loss, Cricket Ireland deemed the match to be a great success. Pakistan's captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed, | 6,133,362 |
55513384 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistani%20cricket%20team%20in%20Ireland%20in%202018 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018
praised the performance of the Ireland team during the match.
# Background.
In July 2000, the Ireland and Pakistan women's teams faced each other in a Women's Test match at College Park, Dublin. Ireland women won the match by an innings and 54 runs, with Isobel Joyce named as the player of the match. It was the first Test match played by the Ireland women's cricket team.
On 22 June 2017, at the ICC's annual conference, the Ireland and Afghanistan men's teams were awarded Test status, becoming Full Members of the ICC in the process. The ICC confirmed that a single Test match would be played between Ireland and Pakistan during their meeting in Auckland in October 2017. Cricket Ireland confirmed | 6,133,363 |
55513384 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistani%20cricket%20team%20in%20Ireland%20in%202018 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018
the date of the Test match at their board meeting in October 2017, with The Village, Malahide, announced as the venue the following month. The match took place ahead of Pakistan's Test series against England and their T20I series against Scotland.
The ICC appointed three English officials for the match. Richard Illingworth and Nigel Llong were the onfield umpires, with Chris Broad named as the match referee. The Umpire Decision Review System (DRS) was not used for the Test match, as Cricket Ireland decided they could not afford the cost of using the system.
Warren Deutrom, CEO of Cricket Ireland, said that he was "delighted" that Ireland's debut Test match will be played at home and thanked | 6,133,364 |
55513384 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistani%20cricket%20team%20in%20Ireland%20in%202018 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018
the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in being Ireland's first Test opponent. Cricket Ireland's director of high performance, Richard Holdsworth, said that Ireland would like to play a return fixture in Pakistan, as long as the security situation in the country remains stable. Deutrom later confirmed that they are considering the PCB's request to tour Pakistan at a later date.
Pakistan's last international fixtures before the Test match was a three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series against the West Indies in Karachi in April 2018. Pakistan won the series 3–0. Pakistan's last Test match fixtures were against Sri Lanka, in the United Arab Emirates, in September and October 2017. Sri Lanka | 6,133,365 |

won both matches. Ireland had played in the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe in March 2018. They finished the tournament in fifth place, from the ten teams that took part, failing to qualify for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.
Ahead of the Test match, Ireland's captain, William Porterfield, said he that he was hoping local conditions would help his side, adding that subcontinental teams take some time to adjust. Pakistan's captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed, said that the team was really looking forward to playing against Ireland and was confident his young side would perform well in difficult conditions. Sarfraz later went on to say that "it is a big honour for me and my team to play this historic | 6,133,366 |
55513384 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistani%20cricket%20team%20in%20Ireland%20in%202018 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018
Test match" and that the team was ready to play. At a press conference the day before the match, Porterfield said that "a lot of people have devoted a lot of their lives to make this happen" and that "it is going to be a pretty special occasion".
# Squads.
In April 2018, Pakistani leg-spin bowler Yasir Shah was ruled out for ten weeks, due to stress fracture of a hip, causing him to miss the match. The report said that Yasir would need to "undergo extensive rehabilitation". The Pakistan selectors were reportedly considering either leg spinner Shadab Khan (who was chosen) or left-arm spinner Kashif Bhatti as his replacement.
Later that month, following a five-day training camp at the Gaddafi | 6,133,367 |
55513384 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistani%20cricket%20team%20in%20Ireland%20in%202018 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018
Stadium in Lahore, the PCB named a sixteen-man squad for the tour to the United Kingdom and Ireland, including five uncapped players at Test level. In the same month, Cricket Ireland named twenty-six players who took part in two warm-up fixtures ahead of the final selection for the Test match. Seventeen of Ireland's international players also took part in the opening fixture of the 2018 Inter-Provincial Championship, which started on 1 May 2018.
On 4 May 2018, Cricket Ireland announced the squad for the match, with William Porterfield captaining the team. Of the fourteen players named in Ireland's squad, Boyd Rankin had previously played in one Test for England, in the 2013–14 Ashes series. | 6,133,368 |

Ed Joyce had also previously played for England, featuring in seventeen One Day Internationals (ODIs) between 2006 and 2007.
Two days before the Test, Nathan Smith suffered an injury and was ruled out of Ireland's squad. He was replaced by Craig Young. Prior to travelling to Ireland, Pakistan played two first-class cricket matches in England, against Kent and Northamptonshire. On the day before the Test, Sarfaraz Ahmed confirmed that the eleven that played against Northamptonshire would be the same side to play against Ireland. Therefore, Imam-ul-Haq and Faheem Ashraf both made their Test debuts.
After making his debut for Ireland, Ed Joyce joined his sister Isobel in becoming only the second | 6,133,369 |

brother and sister to have played in Test cricket, following Denise Emerson and Terry Alderman of Australia. Ed and Isobel Joyce are also the only brother and sister to have made their Test debuts when playing for their respective gender teams on their country's first ever Test appearances.
# Match.
## Only Test.
No play was possible on the first day due to rain, therefore Ireland became the first side to have the opening day of their maiden Test washed out. As a result of no play on the first day, Cricket Ireland lost €75,000 in ticket refunds. Play finally got underway on the second day, with Ireland winning the toss and electing to field. Tim Murtagh became the first bowler for Ireland | 6,133,370 |
55513384 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistani%20cricket%20team%20in%20Ireland%20in%202018 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018
to bowl a ball in Test cricket. Boyd Rankin took Ireland's first wicket in Tests, dismissing Pakistan's Azhar Ali, who was caught by William Porterfield at second slip. Rankin became the first player since Kepler Wessels in 1994, and fifteenth cricketer overall, to play Test cricket for two different national teams. Kevin O'Brien became the first sportsperson from Ireland to appear in 300 matches for his country. Reflecting on the day, Ireland's wicket-keeper, Gary Wilson, said that Pakistan "got away from us a little at the end" but added that it was a very proud moment for everyone to be presented with their first Test cap.
Pakistan declared their first innings before lunch on day three, | 6,133,371 |
55513384 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistani%20cricket%20team%20in%20Ireland%20in%202018 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018
after scoring 310 runs for the loss of nine wickets. Faheem Ashraf top-scored for Pakistan, with 83 runs, including the fastest Test fifty on debut by a batsman for Pakistan, from 52 balls. Ed Joyce faced the first delivery and scored the first run for Ireland in Test cricket. He also became the first batsman to be dismissed for Ireland, when he was out lbw, bowled by Mohammad Abbas. Ireland were eventually all out for 130 runs, with Kevin O'Brien top-scoring with 40, and Mohammad Abbas finishing with four wickets for 44 runs. For the first time in sixteen years, when New Zealand played in Lahore in 2002, Pakistan enforced the follow-on. Ireland finished day three on 64 without losing a wicket, | 6,133,372 |
55513384 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistani%20cricket%20team%20in%20Ireland%20in%202018 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018
trailing by 116 runs, with Ed Joyce on 39 not out. After the close of play, Joyce said that "it was a tough wicket, but it has flattened out a little bit", adding that "the first session tomorrow is going to be really important".
In the first session of day four, Andrew Balbirnie was dismissed for a pair, therefore becoming the 44th batsman, and first for Ireland, to get a pair on debut in Test cricket. In the second session, Mohammad Amir took his 100th Test wicket, becoming the second left-arm fast bowler for Pakistan to reach the milestone. At the tea interval, Ireland had a lead of 32 runs, with Kevin O'Brien scoring the first fifty in Tests for Ireland. In the final session of day four, | 6,133,373 |
55513384 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistani%20cricket%20team%20in%20Ireland%20in%202018 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018
O'Brien went on to score his maiden century, and the first for Ireland. He became the 105th batsman to do so on debut in Tests, and the fourth to score a century in their country's maiden Test. Ireland finished the day seven wickets down, with a lead of 139 runs, and O'Brien unbeaten on 118. Afterwards, O'Brien said that it was a "very proud and emotional" moment to score a Test century, and ranked it second on his own personal list, behind the century he scored in the 2011 Cricket World Cup against England in Bangalore. Pakistan's opening batsman, Azhar Ali, said that "the partnership between Thompson and Kevin took the game away from us" and gave credit to the Ireland players and how they | 6,133,374 |
55513384 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistani%20cricket%20team%20in%20Ireland%20in%202018 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018
batted.
At the start of the fifth and final day, O'Brien did not add to his overnight score, being dismissed for the first ball he faced. Mohammad Abbas took the remaining two wickets, to take his second five-wicket haul in Tests, in his sixth match. With Ireland bowled out for 339, that set Pakistan a target of 160 runs to win. Pakistan won the match by five wickets, in the penultimate session of the match, with an unbeaten fifty by debutante Imam-ul-Haq and a fifty from Babar Azam. Ireland's Kevin O'Brien won the man of the match award for his batting performance. As a result, O'Brien broke into the top 100 in the ICC Player Rankings for Test batsmen, at position 66. Ireland's Tim Murtagh | 6,133,375 |
55513384 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistani%20cricket%20team%20in%20Ireland%20in%202018 | Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018
and Stuart Thompson were ranked 67th and 76th respectively in the Test bowling rankings.
## Reactions.
After the match, Pakistan's captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed, said that victory was very important and that the team was very confident in scoring the runs. He added that they were a very young side, but could chase the runs needed to win. He also praised the opposition's performance, saying "the way they bowled, the way they batted, it’s not easy to play Ireland". Ireland's captain, William Porterfield, said that despite losing he was extremely proud of how the team played, saying "it was a hell of an effort". He praised Kevin O'Brien's performance and added it was an all-round team effort. On Ireland's | 6,133,376 |

future in Test cricket, he added that he is "very confident in the next generation" and that there will be "hundreds of kids aspiring to be Kevin O'Brien". O'Brien said that he was very proud of his century, but was also disappointed that the team did not put Pakistan under more pressure.
Warren Deutrom, CEO of Cricket Ireland, said "this was a great success" and that "there were three things we were hoping for from this match; good crowds, good weather and competitive cricket". Deutrom also commented on forthcoming fixtures for Ireland across the next four to five years in the Future Tours Programme (FTP), and improvements to facilities to prepare for these matches. Deutrom anticipates that | 6,133,377 |

reat success" and that "there were three things we were hoping for from this match; good crowds, good weather and competitive cricket". Deutrom also commented on forthcoming fixtures for Ireland across the next four to five years in the Future Tours Programme (FTP), and improvements to facilities to prepare for these matches. Deutrom anticipates that Ireland will play one or two Tests a year, once the final fixtures in the FTP are agreed. Talking about the match, he said that despite the first day being washed out, Ireland were "extremely competitive" and he was "delighted" that they got to the final day still with a chance to win the match.

Lagny Abbey
Lagny Abbey ("St Peter’s Abbey, Lagny") was a monastery situated in the present-day commune of Lagny-sur-Marne in the department of Seine-et-Marne in France, in the eastern suburbs of Paris. It was founded in 644, refounded about 990 and after well over a millennium of existence (almost 1,150 years) was seized by the state at the French Revolution.
# History.
The original foundation was made about 644 by Saint Fursey, at the request of Erchinoald, then mayor of the palace of Burgundy, who also provided land for it. The new house quickly attracted gifts from Clovis II, king of Neustria and his wife, the Anglo-Saxon Queen Bathild (later canonised), and this ensured it a certain prestige.
The | 6,133,385 |
55513555 | Lagny Abbey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lagny%20Abbey | Lagny Abbey
earlier monastery was reduced to ruins by the Normans in the 9th century. Herbert II and Stephen I, Counts of Meaux had the abbey rebuilt between 990 and 1018. In 1019 the newly rebuilt church was consecrated by Leotheric, Archbishop of Sens, and dedicated to Saint Peter, Saint Paul and the Holy Innocents. On that occasion, King Robert II of France made two gifts to the house from the treasure collected by the Emperor Charlemagne at Aix-la-Chapelle. One was considered to be a thorn from the Crown of Thorns of Jesus and the other a Holy Nail from his Crucifixion. Both were lost in 1567 when the Abbey was pillaged by Calvinists during the French Wars of Religion.
The Abbey of Saint-Père-en-Vallée | 6,133,386 |

just outside the medieval walls of Chartres had been founded by Queen Balthild in the 7th century. When in 1002 Abbot Magenard was imposed on the monks without an election by Count Theobald II of Blois, the monks fled to Lagny Abbey, returning only after two or three years following a reconciliation.
- In 1107 Pope Paschal II visited the abbey, and in 1131 Pope Innocent II.
- Prior to his election as Abbot of Gembloux (1115), Anselm of Gembloux had been scholaster or headmaster of the ecclesiastical school at Lagny Abbey.
- In 1163/1164 Pope Alexander III wrote to the abbot of Lagny requesting an annual payment of one ounce of gold, which was owed according to "a certain work among the books | 6,133,387 |

of the apostolic see", evidently the Liber Censuum, a large-scale record of revenues of the papacy covering the years 492-1192.
# Abbots.
The early abbots seem to have been Irish missionaries and it is a difficult specialist task to piece together reliable details about their names, origins, and activity. It is also difficult to disentangle men with similar or identical names. An early figure who features in some accounts is Saint "Eloquius" (died 666), an Irish monk who may have been the successor of the founder, Saint Fursey, as Abbot.
It is said that in the 10th century Saint Forannan, an Irish Bishop-Abbot who had been originally Bishop of Donoughmore, had St Eloquius’ relics taken to | 6,133,388 |
55513555 | Lagny Abbey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lagny%20Abbey | Lagny Abbey
Waulsort Abbey in modern Belgium where he had become abbot.
Another early abbot, though apparently only for a time, was Saint Mombulus, also an Irishman, who left the abbey to evangelize in Picardy around Chauny before dying and being buried at Condren.
In the period after the Normans had launched their conquest of England, we know of two abbots of Lagny intimately linked with the Counts of Champagne and their kin.
One was Arnold of Champagne, Abbot of Lagny from 1066 to 1106. He was the brother of Saint Theobald of Provins and a relative of the Counts of Champagne Odo II, Theobald III et Theobald IV, their common ancestor being Saint Theobald of Vienne (927-1001).
In 1075 Abbot Arnold brought | 6,133,389 |
55513555 | Lagny Abbey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lagny%20Abbey | Lagny Abbey
to the abbey on horseback from Italy important relics of his younger brother Theobald, who had been canonized by Pope Alexander II not long before (1073). It is from this relic that the neighbouring locality of Saint-Thibault-des-Vignes took its name in 1081, and that there developed and spread in France the cult of the Saint, who been a hermit and a pilgrim and on his deathbed had taken the vows of a Camaldolese monk.
Another member of the same family was Hugh, abbot of Lagny from 1163 to 1171, the illegitimate son of Theobald II, Count of Champagne (1090-1152), mentioned above, who was Count of Blois and of Chartres as Theobald IV from 1102; and Count of Champagne and of Brie as Theobald | 6,133,390 |
55513555 | Lagny Abbey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lagny%20Abbey | Lagny Abbey
II from 1125. Hugh, having been first a knight and then a monk at Tiron Abbey, was appointed through the influence of his uncles Stephen, King of England and Henry of Blois, Bishop of Winchester successively abbot of two English monasteries, St Benet's Abbey, Holme, in Norfolk and Chertsey Abbey in Surrey. Having returned briefly as a simple monk to Tiron, he was made Abbot of Lagny (1163-1171), which housed the tomb of his father (see below) and probably of other family members.
When the trial against the Templars began in England on 20 October 1309, among the judges were two papal inquisitors, one of whom was Sicard de Vaur, a canon of Narbonne and judge at Avignon, but the other inquisitor | 6,133,391 |
55513555 | Lagny Abbey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lagny%20Abbey | Lagny Abbey
was Deodatus (Dieudonné), Abbot of Lagny.
# A Miracle by Joan of Arc.
Joan of Arc visited the village twice. The second time, in 1430, she is said to have raised from the dead a child who had died three days before. This episode was taken into account in the cause for her canonization. Joan herself had recounted the event in the course of the trial she underwent at Rouen on 3 March 1431:
When she was about to set off from Lagny for Senlis on 5 May 1430, it is said that Joan entrusted the abbey with six swords, of which one had been used by Charles Martel at the Battle of Poitiers in 732, but these later disappeared.
# Burials.
- Herbert II of Troyes, born c. 950, died 995.
- Theobald II, | 6,133,392 |
55513555 | Lagny Abbey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lagny%20Abbey | Lagny Abbey
Count of Champagne, born 1090/1095, died 10 January 1152. The tomb, in porphyry, was at least two-tiered, some 7–8 feet long and 4 feet wide.
# Abbey Church.
In 1033 and especially in 1127 there was a severe outbreak among the population of Lagny of ergotism or "Saint Anthony's Fire", caused by a fungal infection of cereals. The people prayed to the Blessed Virgin Mary for help, and from that time one of the names of the abbey church has been "Notre-Dame des Ardents", "Our Lady of the "Ardents"", the latter being those afflicted by this condition.
The abbey church was damaged by fires in 1134, 1157, 1176, 1184 and 1205. After the last named the abbot of the time, Jean Britel, decided a reconstruction | 6,133,393 |
55513555 | Lagny Abbey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lagny%20Abbey | Lagny Abbey
was necessary and extensive works were undertaken. Radical works were undertaken in 1686, shortening the church and erecting a new but flimsy facade, after which the church was reconsecrated. The unsafe condition of the building in 1750 forced further works which demolished the 12th century nave and bell tower, a new bell tower being erected.
The revolutionary regime passed a law that each commune was to have only one church. Lagny then had four for its 1,723 inhabitants. Its choice fell upon adopting the abbey church as the new parish church and on 12 August 1792 the other churches were closed. At this period the abbey church was briefly named after Saint Fursey (the dedication of one of the | 6,133,394 |
55513555 | Lagny Abbey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lagny%20Abbey | Lagny Abbey
former churches) but when the regime disavowed Christianity, the church as elsewhere became for a time a Temple of Reason.
Further restoration and refurbishment took place in 1860. The Franco-Prussian war brought serious damage when the church was occupied by German troops and French prisoners of war and all the wood in the church was stripped for firewood. At that period the King of Prussia, William I, happened to pass through the village and seeing the condition of the church, left a donation of 400 francs for repairs. The money was used to pay for a new organ, installed in 1874. German shellfire damaged the church again in 1944. In 1950 the church assumed the present name "Notre Dame des | 6,133,395 |
55513555 | Lagny Abbey | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lagny%20Abbey | Lagny Abbey
church assumed the present name "Notre Dame des Ardents-et-Saint Pierre" to commemorate Lagny's deliverance from "Saint Anthony's Fire".
# Fate of the Abbey Property.
The Abbey's buildings were seized as state property during the French Revolution and in 1796 sold off. The monastery buildings became first a military hospital, and from 1842 the offices of the municipality, which they remain today.
The church, known now in French as the "Abbatiale Notre-Dame-des-Ardents et Saint-Pierre", has been classed as a national monument since 1886 and the rest of the monastery buildings since 1969.
