Ebook The Life of St. Cajetan, Count of Tiene

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.

Let me enumerate, as briefly as possible, a few characteristics of St. Cajetan's life, in justification of what I have just advanced.

St. Cajetan is to the Orders or Congregations of Clerks Regular what St. Benedict is to the Western Monks. He is their patriarch.
