Last of the West

Today is the memorial of St. Isidore of Seville, considered the last of the Western Fathers. His name comes up frequently (and came up recently) in these pages. He has been proposed as a patron saint for the Internet. Jeff Ziegler points us to a couple of sites.

Today is Friday of the Second Week of Easter and the optional memorial of St. Isidore of Seville, bishop and doctor of the Church, the Schoolmaster of the Middle Ages.
