April 20th: Feast Day of St. Peter Martyr.
Called the Prince if the Inquisition because of his persausiveness, especially regarding the confessions of heretics, Peter (1205-1252) was once ejected from a monastery for 'entertaining' women in his cell. However, he used his gift of eloquence to argue successfully that the voices eavesdroppers had overheard were those of Saints Agnes, Catherine, and Cecilia - visiting from heaven.
I expect he was only half-lying - they almost certainly would have had heavenly bodies....
Keeping the world up to date with me.
