[edit] Nobel Peace Prize

Chico Xavier was recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1981 and 1989 but did not win because of his scarce popularity elsewhere in the world. Although he did not win either of the nominations, his popularity remained unchanged in Brazil.

Being nominated for the Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official and not necessarily prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements. Altogether, I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Willmcw 03:57, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Emmanuel name

In the book "Há 2000 anos" the Emmanuel's name was Públio Lentulus. I don't know if it's an Portuguese adaptation. Should we modificate the name in the article?

No. "Há 2000 anos" was supposedly authored by the spirit Emmanuel by means of Xavier's mediumship. In that book the spirit tells a story that happened to him in one of his lives, one in which his name was Publius Lentulus, a Roman personage who supposedly lived from 10BCE to 65CE. It is clear when you read the book that Emmanuel and Lentulus are two different characters, yet the same person (that's reincarnation, after all...) jggouvea 17:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I know that. The question was about how is the correct spelling. If it is Públio or Publius. I know that the Portuguese version is Públio, but I don't know if the English translation is Publius. dmelorj
