his brother as the Archbishop of Seville in Spain He was known
as a charitable archbishop giving many of his possessions to the
poor His most prominent work the Etymologiae was the first

his brother as the Archbishop of Seville in Spain He was known
as a charitable archbishop giving many of his possessions to the
poor His most prominent work the Etymologiae was the first
Catholic encyclopedia that was used for centuries in seminaries

believed that knowledge in all areas of study can be used at the
service of the Gospel he was declared patron saint of the Internet
