Talk:Tarcisius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I can't find a copy online of the only original source for his existence, Damasi epigrammata. I suspect from comments in the Catholic encyclopedias and websites (especially http://www.corazones.org/santos/tarsicio.htm San Tarsicio, alsohttp://www.catholicity.com/encyclopedia/t/tarsicius,saint.html, http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_%281913%29/St._Tarsicius) that this includes very few details, for example that his role in the church is not known despite the definite comments that he was an acolyte or deacon, and by extension that most of what is in the article comes from the imagination of Cardinal Wiseman. Nothing wrong with that, so long as it's clearly referenced, but I have removed the dubious bits. Richard Keatinge 16:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
