Spanish American Saints and the Rhetoric of Identity, 1600-1810
Spanish American civilization developed over several generations as Iberian-born settlers and their "New World" descendants adapted Old World institutions, beliefs, and literary forms to diverse American social contexts. Like their European forebears, criollos—descendants of Spanish immigrants who called the New World home—preserved the memory of persons of extraordinary Roman Catholic piety in a centuries-old literary form known as the saint's Life. These criollo religious biographies reflect not only traditional Roman Catholic values but also such New World concerns as immigration, racial mixing, and English piracy.

The German Jesuit Athanasius Kircher did not die until 27 November 1680, at the ripeold age of seventy-eight or seventy-nine.2 His body was buried in Il Gesù and his heart inthe Marian shrine of Mentorella, south of Rome. Despite Baldigiani's mournfuldescription of Kircher, reports of his demise were somewhat exaggerated. Kircher wasstill writing his own letters to correspondents as late as November 1678, when heapologized to one colleague for any sloppiness inadvertently caused by his "tremblinghand."3 A trickle of letters continued, though increasingly composed by assistants, untilthe winter.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on both mental and physical health with documented and ongoing effects on the health status of populations globally.

This has increased the importance of actions toward disease prevention with a focus on health behavior change. It is recognized that such intervention approaches should be grounded in the principles of person-centered approaches and include patient empowerment, and compassionated care provi...
