For the origin of carduelis, see e.g. [1]. Pliny the Elder used the word before there were Catholic cardinals [2]. —JerryFriedman 18:07, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps there could be something regarding the symbolism of the goldfinch? I think in Christian art it represents Christ's suffering.. if anyone is more familiar with this I think that could be a valuable addition.
