WHAT DOES CONFESSOR MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Confessor

Confessor

Confessor or Confessor of the Faith is a male title granted by the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church to saints and blessed who were not martyred. Historically, the title of confessor was granted to all those who suffered persecution and torture by faith, but not to the point of martyrdom. It is often used to define any saint as well as those who have been declared blessed, who can not be categorized as a martyr, apostle, evangelist, or virgin. As Christianity emerged as the dominant religion in Europe after the fifth century, persecutions became rare, and the title was given to holy men who lived a sacred life, but suffered some kind of attack, not properly because they were Christians, as Saint Louis de Montfort, who survived a poisoning by other priests for the envy of his preaching. Perhaps the best-known example is that of the English king Edward the Confessor. It is possible that confessors have other titles, such as Pope and confessor, confessor and Doctor of the Church, among others.

Confessor ou Confessor da Fé é um título masculino concedido pela Igreja Católica e Igreja Ortodoxa à santos e beatos que não foram martirizados. Historicamente, o título de confessor foi concedido a todos aqueles que sofreram perseguição e tortura pela fé, mas não ao ponto do martírio. Muitas vezes é usado para definir qualquer santo, bem como aqueles que tenham sido declarados abençoados, que não podem ser categorizadas como mártir, apóstolo, evangelista, ou virgem. Como o cristianismo emergiu como a religião dominante na Europa após o quinto século, as perseguições tornaram-se raras, e o título foi dado a homens santos que viveram uma vida sagrada, mas sofreram algum tipo de atentado, não propriamente por serem cristãos, como São Luís de Montfort, que sobreviveu a um envenenamento por outros sacerdotes por inveja de suas pregações. Talvez o exemplo mais conhecido seja o do rei inglês Eduardo, o Confessor. É possível que confessores tenham outros títulos, como, por exemplo, Papa e confessor, confessor e doutor da Igreja, entre outros.
