Date of canonization

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm just wondering where the date "June 29th" comes from, for her canonization? The source that is cited as regards this event (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_Siena#cite_note-beckwith-66) nowhere says anything about a date of "June 29th". Whereas other sources state that the date was April 29th 1461, the same day as her feast day / date of death (Dies Natalis): https://www.historytoday.com/archive/st-catherine-sienna-canonised.

Vandalism

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There is vandalism on this article, calling the saint a "goon GODDESS" and saying that she was born in "goon city". This needs to be fixed immediately and I am not an editor so I cannot do anything. 2600:6C58:61F0:9CE0:616C:FCEF:9F16:5270 (talk) 13:58, 14 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
