It' s typical of Bede to put these words in the mouth of a nobleman. For the church in AngloSaxon England was just really a branch of the aristocracy. St Wilfred, the aristocratic Bishop of York, deliberately used part of Hadrian' s Wall to build at Hexham a basilica worthy of Roman authority. For Bede and St Wilfred, it was crucial that was the Roman, not the Irish Celtic church that won over Britain. For what they passionately desired was the reconnection of a converted country with its Roman mother. A true homecoming. The authority of the Roman Saxon church, though, didn' t guarantee protection. Bede himself had had forebodings before he died in 735. |
