"honoured as a saint" -- dont you have to be canonized for that? Nateji77 12:03, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
I'd never heard that she was honored as a saint. The most sympathetic Catholic account I've heard is that she was deserves pity as the Medieval equivalent of a mental patient.--T. Anthony 03:36, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
The statement comes from the old Catholic Encyclopedia in its article on Imposters, the implication being that, in reponse to her apparent supernatural talents, she was treated as a ‘saint’ during her lifetime by many people, including the Empress Isabel. (The article comes down rather hard on the credulity of popular Spanish religion. I think we would call that POV, because magic acronyms make life simpler for us.) —Ian Spackman 13:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
