I never knew that, about the origin of the Solfege system. What a cool little piece of Catholic trivia! Thank you for posting it! The Baptist is definitely not given enough attention among Catholics today. In the tradition of the Church, he is the one permitted to stand at Christ's side at the Judgment (with the Blessed Mother on the other hand -- hence Our Lord's words to the apostles that these places were already reserved) but, sadly, we rarely talk about him, perhaps because he's just such a strange figure. Anyway, happy feast! Wow. I never knew that, about the origin of the Solfege system. What a cool little piece of Catholic trivia! Thank you for posting it!
