User talk:MedusaheadWelcome!
Catherine of Siena ledeHi there! Thanks for your interest in Catherine of Siena and her entry on WP. I've been doing a lot of work on her in my own research lately, and I very often come across claims that she was a Dominican Tertiary. Unfortunately, the Third Order of St Dominic did not come into being until after her death, so it was impossible for her to have been a member of it. She's sorta seen as the founding mother of the Third Order, so the confusion is totally understandable! This kind of conceptual patronage, and then lumping her in with the tradition she inspired, makes sense even if it isn't quite accurate. A good scholarly work on this is Luongo - Catherine of Siena monograph. It would be most accurate to describe her as a member of the "Mantellate", an informal network of pious laywomen without a formal rule or papal approbation. But for purposes of the lede I just changed it to "pious laywoman" since those are terms that most readers are likely to understand. Anyhow, let me know what you think about this - I've changed it a few times, and someone keeps changing it back. You most recently, so I thought I'd open up the discussion here. Feel free to move it to the Catherine of Siena talk page, though. Altenmaeren (talk) 18:51, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

ScapularHello User:Medusahead, I hope this message finds you doing well. In your recent edit summary, you write that "a medal is a medal, the source says nothing else". However, the source, authored by the Paulist Fathers, actually does specifically mention the term "metal scapular"; upon clicking upon those words, one can clearly see an image of what is meant. I kindly ask that you will not revert, but rather, if you need any clarification, that you discuss it with me. Thank you for your understanding. With regards, AnupamTalk 21:19, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Sacrament of Penance articleGreetings. Regarding your objection to my edit on the Sacrament of Penance article, the sacrament can be and often is just called "Reconciliation" or "Confession". I really don't see any need to say "Sacrament of ..." again at this point in the article. We don't insist on always using full or official names in articles when a common form of a name is also in frequent use. In any case the more official name, I believe, is the "Sacrament of Penance" so whether "Sacrament of Reconciliation" is also actually an official full name seems possibly arguable. Not worth an argument but something to think about. Regards, Afterwriting (talk) 12:06, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
Thank youThank you for reaching out to our block-evading editor. If there was a barnstar for infinite patience, you should get it. Hope you don't mind my additional comments to yours.

CommentI did a quick look at your series of edits for the last couple days because they seemed quickly done and on some major topics, and couldn't find any to revert or discuss. You're good at this! Thanks for your edits at some of the spiritual and religious pages. Randy Kryn (talk) 08:32, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
"Venerated by" categoriesHey! So about those "venerated catholics by pope so-and-so" categories. In general the scheme seems to be that people are categorized by which pope promoted them to different stages in the process, which makes sense to me; sometimes one is interested in what saints a particular pope was favoring. This means that it's normal for a saint to have three tags: one for the pope who promoted them to Venerable, one for the pope who promoted them to Blessed, and one for the pope who promoted them to Saint. I see this on lots of existing pages (although more consistently for blessed+saint than for venerable). I don't think it makes sense to take off the "venerated by pope so-and-so" and "beatified by pope so-and-so" tags when someone gets through the final step in the process, and that in fact doesn't seem to be the general policy. — Moriwen (talk) 14:36, 19 October 2023 (UTC) Don't delete content on talk pagesHello, I'm Nikolaj1905.

Holy HourHello @Medusahead, Concerning your reverting on the topic of the Holy Hour, you are stating "the Holy Hour goes back to a tradition based on the biblical event". While I understand the "inspiration" (as written in the article) is obviously the particular biblical event, could you please provide a source where we can see a tradition (as understood by the Church) of performing the Holy Hour prior to the revelations of Margaret Mary Alacoque in the Catholic Church ? The tradition being based on that biblical event is in itself coming from these revelations, when Jesus refers to that particular moment of his life while instructing Alacoque on the meaning of this practice. You also say "it is not referring to MM Alacoque", but this whole practice is coming from the revelations of MM Alacoque. I can understand maybe in some region of the world the link between MMA and the Holy Hour could have been lost, and is now only known as a tradition of an hour of Eucharistic Adoration. But if my statement is true, my whole emphasis of her is justified and is useful to restore the truth and share knowledge concerning the nature of the practice. For example, in France (where it is coming from), that connection is still evident. Furthermore, in the History section of the article written by a previous user, we can read : "In 1829, the Archconfraternity of the Holy Hour was established by Père Robert Debrosse at Paray-le-Monial, Burgundy, France." This is the first Archconfraternity based on the Holy Hour and it was established in Paray-Le-Monial itself, where Alacoque received the revelation and where this practice was first promoted with indulgences. When Pope Pius XI talked about the Holy Hour practice, he was also refering to Margaret Mary Alacoque revelations : "For when Christ manifested Himself to Margaret Mary, and declared to her the infinitude of His love, at the same time, in the manner of a mourner, He complained that so many and such great injuries were done to Him by ungrateful men - and we would that these words in which He made this complaint were fixed in the minds of the faithful, and were never blotted out by oblivion: "Behold this Heart" - He said - "which has loved men so much and has loaded them with all benefits, and for this boundless love has had no return but neglect, and contumely, and this often from those who were bound by a debt and duty of a more special love." In order that these faults might be washed away, He then recommended several things to be done, and in particular the following as most pleasing to Himself, namely that men should approach the Altar with this purpose of expiating sin, making what is called a Communion of Reparation, - and that they should likewise make expiatory supplications and prayers, prolonged for a whole hour, - which is rightly called the "Holy Hour." These pious exercises have been approved by the Church and have also been enriched with copious indulgences." Encyclical letter Miserentissimus Redemptor, May 8 1928 - Pope Pius XI + the "Communion of Reparation", so even my link to First Fridays Devotion is justified, having its source in the same revelations and being both reparations to the Sacred Heart. To conclude, here is the evidence that the Holy Hour has it origins in MMA revelations :
