Talk:Forty Martyrs of Sebaste

message: This are not the same thing.  K is a modern attempt to clean up demotic Greek and make it more like Ancient Greek.  Where's the optative?  Where's the dual? So, is this Ancient, or Katharevousa? Or something else?

Talk:Gemma Galgani

message: This line on the article "Notwithstanding this, it should be noted, however, that multiple persons did claim to have witnessed Galgani's alleged stigmata" is not accurate to the sourcing as it leaves out important information about who these witnesses were. The source says this on page 68 "Father Germano continued his defense with a reminder to readers of his biography about all the other witnesses who could testify to the veracity of Gemma's stigmata: from among the Giannini clan there were Cavalier Matteo and his wife Giustina, their eldest son Giuseppe, and most centrally Matteo's sister, Cecilia, not to mention, of course, Father Germano himself."
Father Germano and Cecilia Giannini and her family ,  were Gemma Galgani's close friends. Outside of Father Germano's biography there is no documentation supporting neutral witnesses seeing Galgani's stigmata. Indeed there is no evidence that any independent observer witnessed Galgani's stigmata. The biography by Father Germano is a highly biased source and these are not reliable witnesses, they were Galgani's close friends. If this content is to remain it needs to be made clear who these people were. The statement that "multiple persons did claim to have witnessed Galgani's alleged stigmata" is not giving accurate detail and is in violation of NPOV.

Talk:Gerald of Aurillac

message: 1) Far from sickly throughout his life, Gerald was trained as a warrior, athletic enough to vault over the back of a horse in full armor — but was also educated in Latin and classical literature.
2) Gerald lived as much like a monk as he could without actually becoming one: in addition to eschewing marriage, he wore a hidden tonsure, fasted to concentrate his mind while judging disputes within the "county" he governed, drank and ate sparingly even when hosting the feasts required by his status, ate meals with the poor, dressed soberly, and founded monasteries with his family's resources. His temperateness and discretion were inspired not by contempt for God's good gifts, but by a desire for better self-control so that he could serve God more effectively.
3) He exercised his God-given military responsibilities solely to defend the innocent and, according to his biographer, Odo, "never stained his sword with human blood." Indeed, Gerald and his men fought with the "backs of their swords" and with "spears reversed" to show that God alone gave them victory. Gerald's very restricted use of war foreshadowed the rules for Christian military conduct (such as protection for civilians) pioneered by Cluny's monks in the 1000s. 
4) Cluny's second abbot, Odo, was so distressed by the way local nobles governed by sheer power, that he siezed upon Gerald as his model for temporal rulers, ruling justly and for the common good rather than for selfish motives.  In Gerald of Aurillac, Odo found a count who lived in the world, but was not of it, and wielded the sword of government in a fully Christian, quasi-monastic manner. By Gerald's example, Odo hoped to show how one might adapt to secular circumstances the basic Christian principles that monks aspired to live out: justice, honesty, humility, and selfless love.  Odo wrote:
"This man of God is an example to the mighty, [and thus] let them see how they may imitate him as one of themselves held up for their example."

Talk:Gerard of Villamagna

message: the link to the Order of St John that maintains his feast is confusing.  According to that site, the "Order of St John" doesn't exist as such, except in its successor orders, and it is not mentioned which one is meant.  The only ones simply called "Order of St John" are Protestant.  After scurrying around I found it seems to mean "The Sovereign Military Order of Malta" which is indeed sometimes called the Order of St John, but not more popularly.  I suggest this link be modified to enable the reader to know that the SMOM is meant, whilst perhaps including if necessary some connection to the old Order of St John. --209.128.15.129 (talk) 10:45, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Gregory Thaumaturgus

message: This is arguably of Top importance. Gregory Thaumaturgos is one of the few Ante-Nicene, but post-Apostolic fathers whose writings are available with reasonable comprehensiveness, and he is therefore very important for the study of Christian belief in that era. As such he has importance outside the field of "saints" as such, which is one of the qualifications for that rating. TCC (talk) (contribs) 23:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Henry Walpole

message: They brought Campion to the scaffold at Tyburn, hanged him, and chopped his body in quarters before a huge crowd of observers. On of the bystanders, a Protestant named Henry Walpole, was close to the place where the hangman was throwing the pieces of Campion’s body into a vat of boiling water. A drop of the water mixed with blood splashed out upon his clothes, and Walpole felt at once, he said, that he had to convert to the Catholic Church.--79.222.216.234 (talk) 05:57, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

This date does not really fit in with the others as the next entence states "7 July 1582", six years earlier...

thread_title: Untitled

message: I've been working on creating and improving articles about female saints as a part of the 1000 Women in Religion WikiProject, and have come across this article as a result. I hesitate tackling this article because I was only able to find two sources about St. Herlindis: 3 pages in Women and Aristocratic Culture in the Carolingian World, by Valerie Garver  and segments in Compressed Meanings: The Donor's Model in Medieval Art to Around 1300 : Origin, Spread and Significance of an Architectural Image in the Realm of Tension Between Tradition and Likeness, by Emanuel S. Klinkenberg , which isn't even accessible. For other articles, if so few sources, I wouldn't bother working on it. What makes this article different is the information about the Casula of Maasik, which is notable enough and has enough sources out there to warrant its own article, separate from this one. My suggestion, then, is to rename it and then change the focus of this article to the casula. (I would also recommend doing the same for the article about St. Herlindis' sister Relindis). If that happens, that would make this article outside the purview of the Wikiproject, and not an article I'd be interesting in working on. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 18:21, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

message: The article claims, without providing sources, that the ice saints coincide with blackthorn winter. According to the article Blackthorn Winter this is the name for a period in early April, while the ice saints are celebrated in the middle of May. As far as German folklore is concerned, I am aware of the ice saints but I'm not aware of a blackthorn winter (the closest thing might be Märzwinter in March, but again this has nothing to do with the ice saints).

message: Is pretty much a gold standard of scholarship. The entry on James the Deacon is written by Michael Lapidge and Blackwell Publishers (now part of Wiley-Blackwell) is a well respected scholarly publishing house. There really isn't a better source. The entry on James says "Like Paulinus, he was presumably of Italian origin." But this edit inserted information that is not supported by any change of source, and is definitely not in the entry for James that is given as a source. If there are sources saying James "a Roman who lived during the Odoaceran, Ostrogothic, or Lombardic period," they need to be presented, rather than just inserting the information into a sourced sentence that is not supported by the source.
