Orosius

Paulus Orosius (/ˈpɔːləs ɔːˈroʊʒiəs/; born c. 375, died after 418 AD) — less often Paul Orosius in English — was a Gallaecian Christian priest, historian and theologian, a student of Augustine of Hippo. It is possible that he was born in Bracara Augusta (now Braga), then capital of the Roman province of Gallaecia. Although there are some questions regarding his biography, such as his exact date of birth, it is known that he was a person of some prestige from a cultural point of view, as he had contact with the greatest figures of his time such as Saint Augustine of Hippo and Saint Jerome. In order to meet with them Orosius travelled to cities on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, such as Hippo Regius and Alexandria.

These journeys defined his life and intellectual output. Orosius did not just discuss theological matters with Saint Augustine; he also collaborated with him on the book City of God. In addition, in 415 he was chosen to travel to Palestine in order to exchange information with other intellectuals. He was also able to participate in a Church Council meeting in Jerusalem on the same trip and he was entrusted with transporting the relics of Saint Stephen. The date of his death is also unclear, although it appears to have not been earlier than 418, when he finished one of his books, or later than 423.

    Worship Depraved

    by: Arsis

    Stained by the wine
    A celebration guilt in ordinary time
    Profaneness enshrine, the abode of the blessed
    Abode of the blessed
    And we shall be the bearers
    Of the untainted darkness
    That descends for all time
    Let Mary sleep forever
    Sordid dreams, she must be bound
    Once faithful followers scream
    "Set Barabbas free!"
    The chilling chants of the carcass choir
    Rosaries inverted and strung upon the razor wire
    Scream out, and proudly wear the mark
    We, the bearers of the untainted dark
    So stain the cloth forever
    Sordid dreams of lust be bound
    Commence the ceremony
