[edit] Biography Vandalism

First line reads: Jeronima de la Asuncion was born in Toledo, Spain to Christian parents, Howard Stern and Baba Booey. Tiddy 05:27, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Main portrait and beatification

The mutilated cropped image at top of page is exactly the same as the reversed image lower down. Why not shown that reverse portrait as main image instead of such a poor copy? Also references to beatification in the C17. Does that mean she's called 'Saint .....' by catholics? Article doesn't say Saint..... anywhere. Tiddy 05:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

First Sor Jeronima de la Asuncion has to go through beatification then canonization then sainthood. A long process. Takes years to complete. I hope this brief explanation helps.Dragonbite 01:36, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Strong Keep - Mother Jeronima de la Asuncion is the Spanish-born foundress of the Santa Clara monastery in Intramuros, Manila, Philippines which is the first of its kind in Spanish Manila and the Far East. For De la Asuncion's efforts as the first missionary woman in the Philippines, the Vatican has issued an apostolic decree for her beatification in 1734. De la Asuncion's monastery in Intramuros was immortalized in the novel Noli Me Tangere, written by Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines. A shrine in the Philippines exists for Jeronima de la Asuncion in the present day St. Claire Monastery in Quezon City.Dragonbite 04:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
