A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on April 24, 2019. |
I have updated the entry with information about St. Vincent's relics from Joan Carrol Cruz's book The Incorruptibles (1977), pp. 248-249. 76.123.208.229 ( talk) 15:11, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
I know it's easy to call me a idiot, but this is too long. I wouldn't even be surprised if people are just repeating stuff because no one would read something that big about some saint anyway. Is anyone man enough to tackle this long article? [unsigned comment by 200.207.181.88, 05:19, 21Aug2010]

It's been almost 7 years — the problem must have been resolved. From what I can see, public domain. rags ( talk) 13:14, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
I understand that some modern authorities -- I'm sorry, I can't remember their names -- feel that the story of Vincent's Islamic captivity is a more recent invention. Pittsburgh Poet ( talk) 14:43, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

"At an early age, he showed a talent for reading and writing.."
Since all people, unless mentally deficient, can read and write at some level this sentence is absurd. He may have showed a talent for learning above the norm or was bright or enjoyed learning. The sentence needs to be clarified. As it is, it's just stupid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.252.183.253 ( talk) 22:24, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
The section headed "Veneration" starts: "In 2000, the Superior General of the Congregation of the Mission requested that the holy process of Vincent's canonization be instituted. On 13 August 1729 he was declared blessed by Pope Benedict XIII. He was canonized nearly eight years later by Pope Clement XII on 16 June 1737." Should "2000" be 1700? -- Weka511 ( talk) 21:47, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
"His first master was a fisherman, but Vincent was unsuitable for this line of work due to sea-sickness and was soon sold. His next master was a spagyrical physician, alchemist and inventor. He became fascinated by his arts and was taught how to prepare and administer his master's spagyric remedies.[7]"
