In Britain, it is the fragmentation of Christianity which strikes most, and still appears puzzling to me.
Leonforte, the place in Sicily where Card. Newman had his fever, means 'strong lion'. Here a link to the Wikipedia article on card. Newman and another link with historical information about Leonforte (in English, scrolling down).
