February 19, 794 AD

Beatus of Liébana, a 8th century thinker, wrote Commentaria in Apocalypsin. He was a member of
St. Martin's Monastery, in Liebana, which is near the Spanish town of Santander. "Beatus opposed the Adoptionist theories of Archbishop Elipandus of Toledo." This idea, which holds that Jesus was actually adopted as the son of god, appears to me to be one of many variations on the nature of the Christian assumptions. These may seem like frivolous ranting, but actually is a step in the growth of the human mind, as assumptions are followed to their logical conclusions, and the nature, and natures, of love and reason are appreciated. The adoptionist heresy indicates the extent to which the extraordinary claims and possibilities of love in the universe, are sorted through the centuries.

Anyway Beatus was made a saint, which has the advantage that he can be in this almanac. His feast day is February 19, since that date was when the verdict of heresy was pronounced on the adoptionist idea, in 794. (Though that was not the first time.) 

Nor the last time the adoptionist idea was denounced. The picture below was an illustration in a copy of
 Commentaria in Apocalypsin, and may have been used when the controversy again was discussed in the 11th century.  And the image itself addresses the issues of adoptionism--- complexity with unity: the rectangle of reason bounds the intertwining and overlapping boundaries containing thoughtful cats and gravity bound fowl.

More information on adoptionism is available here.  The issues of monotheism (or Platonic forms) and what that could mean in a physical world are not refuted, just forgotten for awhile.
