Talk:Inocencio of Mary Immaculate

Martyr
How come this gentleman is classed as a Martyr of the Spanish Civil War when the civil war took another 2 years to break out? Additionally, in the MARTYRDOM section of the article, it is said that "On Friday October 5th 1934, a group of rebels forced their way into the Brothers' school in Turón." I don't quite understand. What "rebels" is it refering to? Cheers! :) Dr Benway 14:38, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

As the article itself states, the rebels referred to are those who took part in the Revolution of Asturias in 1934. This saint is classed as a martyr of the Spanish Civil War as the Revolution which inspired those who murdered him was an event that is inextricably linked to the build-up of the context for the war. See the article on the Spanish Civil War for more information. Matthewafallen 07:37, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi there :). I understand the relatiosnship, but where is this man officially beatified as a "martyr of the Spanish Civil War"? As far as I know, the martyrs of the spanish civil war were beatified in March 2001 and October 2007 specifically by the Vatican, no? Dr Benway (talk) 14:34, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the link, but I meant something a bit more "official". Vatican source, f.eg. I'll be looking into it too as soon as I have a bit of time. Cheers ;) Dr Benway (talk) 15:48, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Yup, checked in the Vatican webpage. Despite the fact he isn't officially a "martyr of ths Spanish Civil War" the whole wording around his bio definately puts him into that category, and quickly associates him to the civil war and the posterior "religious prosecution" by the Republican government. *nodnods* Nothing more to add ;) Dr Benway (talk) 16:12, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
