[edit] The deal with Maria and her sainthood... anti-feministic or not?

I agree. She is my patroness —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.10.245.19 (talk) 16:21, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

While making research for class projects, I found an article about rape that included criticism to Maria's canonization made by feminist groups. So, I added the "controversy" bit along with a link to the article, which in itself is a rahter intresting read if we ignore the annoying "womyn" word that is thrown around.

Also added some trivia bits related to the "Cielo sulla palude" movie. Lunamaria 17:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bleh to "Where is Waldo?!", let's play "Where is Alessandro?!"

Please stop adding the bit saying that Alessandro Serenelli went to Maria's canonization. It's a mistake from the official page. Assunta did go, but with her four remaining sons and daughters; Alessandro didn't, though he *was* there for Assunta when she died. Lunamaria 21:31, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

With all due respect, Lunamaria, but your saying it doesn't make it so. Please see http://www.mariagoretti.org/mariabio.htm , or see http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=78 , or see http://catholicism.about.com/cs/saints/a/mariagoretti.htm , or see http://www.scborromeo.org/saints/maria.htm . Please do not revert unless you can provide documented evidence. Thanks. Ward3001 01:31, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I've written a rather detailed reply to you, and it should reach your inbox soon. Hope it clears your doubts. Lunamaria 20:26, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I also replied on your talk page. Ward3001 21:49, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
There is actual video footage of Alessandro at the caonnisation;

Hi, Maybe, in the article, we should refer to an "open debate" or something like that. Yesterday, I wrote, based on my material, that Alessandro was not there, but this seems to truly in question.

There are multiple sources cited in the article that say Allesandro was there. If you wish to challenge that please provide the sources here on this talk page for me to see first, including all citation information and direct quotes that pertain to his absence from the canonization. Otherwise leave that part of the article like it is. Simply making the statement "based on my material" is insufficient to delete something from an article. Thank you.
