"Canonized in hell?" Perhaps this was meant to be "condemned to hell," or some equivalent. Can anyone verify from the source? As it is, it makes no sense. InvisibleSun, 8/29/05

  • It's true enough. Popes cannot actually condemn someone to hell, as they believe that this is for their god to do. However, in a unique move Pius declared Sig. a kind of "anti-saint" and by this "canonisation" made hell his home. See, for instance, [1]. Most of the good sources for his life are old and in print, however. 194.129.118.250 10:43, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
