Talk:La Papessa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What does Sr. PL have to do with anything in this article?! It looks so tagged-on. Turly-burly 14:50, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Added on
The second example of "La Papessa" I can understand -- it appears to be justified as historically correct and gives the reasons why she was referred to in that way. What does seem tagged on is the last paragraph about "Manfreda", with no reference in the remainder of Wikipedia and no links. I Googled this and found some links that indicate it's for real, but none of them are what I would call authoritative and I'm not going to add links to blogs. Anyone care to take this on?

- That is kind of funny, as I think it is the other way around. In that with respect to a connection to the tarot card, a 20th century person is after the fact, and as I understand it, the guglielmite female pope was of the lineage for whom the tarot deck with that card was originally made. I find it difficult to credit there are no reliable sources on the guglielmite movement in general. And harder to imagine such sources would not mention their female pope. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 22:19, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Are there no links to The High Priestess? Was this article written in part to denigrate Pasqualina Lehnert? Why so many (unreferenced) isolated articles on a subject that should receive encyclopedic treatment? --Wetman 01:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
