Angelus of St. Francis Mason , (1599 in Wiltshire - 30 Dec 1678 in Douai) was an English Franciscan friar and writer.
Life
He was born Richard Mason in the county of Wiltshire, England, in 1599. Like a number of English Roman Catholics under the Penal laws who desired to enter religious life, he went to Douai in the County of Flanders, then the Spanish Netherlands. There he entered the Order of Friars Minor, being clothed in the habit and given his new name. He was professed in 1625, and ordained to the priesthood four years later.
Mason rapidly became eminent in the Order, being created a Doctor of Divinity. This was abridged in the Holy Altar and Sacrifice Explained which Pacificus Baker published at the request of Bishop James Talbot in London in 1768.
