The Life of St. Cajetan, Count of Tiene - Founder of the Theatines #246131

The Life of St. Cajetan may be said to be unknown in England, and in English-speaking countries. Not that no summary of his life has been published, but that the summaries are very inadequate, and that they are but little read. Now I believe that St. Cajetan will take a very high place among the saints of the last four centuries in the mind and affections of our Catholic people, when his spirit and career become better known.<br><br>Let me enumerate, as briefly as possible, a few characteristics of St. Cajetan's life, in justification of what I have just advanced.<br><br>St. Cajetan is to the Orders or Congregations of Clerks Regular what St. Benedict is to the Western Monks. He is their patriarch.
