[edit] Notes
This section: "A letter channelled by Chico Xavier from a supposed victim of a murder once helped to establish the innocence of the presumed murderer. The case became nationally famous because the case had already been tried and a man was convicted. The letter caused new investigation and the real murderer was arrested.[1]"
The article referenced has got the facts wrong. The case in question was indeed a murder, but not as told in that article. The victim was shot by a friend, who was, according to the shooter, showing him a weapon that went off by accident. The letter channelled from the victim simply stated that what had happened was an accident, and no-one's fault, and that his friend (the shooter) wasn't guilty of any wrong doing. The letter was accepted as evidence on a first trial by the judge. That judgement was thrown off and the letter was accepted again in a second trial by jury. In both cases the man was considered not guilty. However no "real murdered" was ever arrested, as there wasn't anyone else involved. The victim's family also accepted the letter as legitimate. As told in "As Vidas de Chico Xavier (2003)" and "Fantastico - Rede Globo (1997)" with interviews from all parties involved (except the dead man :)
- Then, is it possible that the process was thrown on a technicality or for some other reason? Do we have plenty evidence that the letter was really decisive? jggouvea 00:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[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
[edit] Request for English links
A quick search on Google reveals only Portuguese pages. Thanks.--Jondel 09:53, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

in the box at the rigth, named spiritualist topics, I must tell you that "fortune-telling" cannot be related with Spiritism by no meaning. Spiritismo is philosophy, with moral consequences, and respects Science. It's a Christian philosophy and his goal it's to live according to the Gospel of Jesus of Nazareth. Fortune-telling is a frivolous activity that spiritists NEVER do! Ricardo/Portugal —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.129.235.235 (talk) 20:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
