 Blogger: Email Post to a Friend
St Patrzemis is a lesser known, now decanonised Polish Catholic saint who preached throughout the middle east towards the end of his life.
James the Scottish archaeologist told me of some writing from the 1910’s that suggests Saint Patrzemis stopped at the Kubrawiyyah monastery and possibly converted to Islam and died here.
These same claims apparently influenced Pope Pius XII to decanonise the saint in 1950 (although officially it was due to insufficient proof of his existence; obviously not true as there are many primary records of his papal visits and travel permissions).

Several popes are known to have elevated nephews and other relatives to the cardinalate.

His tomb and remains were removed to the new cathedral after its completion and, toward the end of the fourteenth century, the reputation of Bishop Osmund's miracles became so widely spread that after due consultation the Chapter of Salisbury determined to make an application to the Pope for his canonization.
