Talk:John Vianney

Untitled
The overall tone of the reporting that the curé always "doing God's work" isn't appropriate for a neutral encyclopaedia article. --Fire Star 22:40, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Needs Real Footnotes
The incomplete sourcing, coupled with the generally credulous tone of the article as a whole, does not commend the article. Needs help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.21.123.155 (talk) 01:58, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Absent objection, I'll take down the cn header. I took out the most offending incredulous quotes. There's still a little bit of romanticization in the early years/childhood section, but it is far better than it was earlier. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 19:13, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Jean-Marie Vianney → John Vianney — Most common name: this is unambiguously more common than is Jean-Marie Vianney, as is easily demonstrated with a google or gscholar search. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 17:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)


 * That seems to be sound reasoning to me (Google Searches are not at all definitive, but they are at least suggestive), and this seems to be supported by WP:NCP. What references there are in the article (there's only 2 actual references, I think) are old Catholic Encyclopedia references anyway, which cannot demonstrate modern convention. By the way, I think that cleaning up the references and just generally improving the article are much more important issues then the title, regardless. — V = I * R  (talk) 20:01, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Veneration
The information box says that St. John Vianney is venerated by not only the Roman Catholic Church, but also by the Anglican Communion, yet this is not mentioned in the article. Anyone know if this is true? Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 00:06, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

The Devil
This article leaves out St. John Vianney's constant battles with the Devil. Because St. John Vianney was so committed to saving souls for Christ, he was in constant battle battle with the evil one, who hated him for what he was doing.--Splashen (talk) 20:51, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Well, not 'the devil' @Splashen, but yes a demon/satan, i find it odd too there is no mention of Saint John's suffering at the hand (or sock) of satan.Dava4444 (talk) 09:18, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

"incorruptible"
The caption "The body of Saint John Mary Vianney, found to be incorrupt by the Catholic Church" needs a source. Nothing about this is said in the body of the text. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 01:03, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Key facts missing in the article
Upon his death, he was given a wax mask and then "buried" above ground immediately??? Was it typically for that time? In addition, there is a whole section about the tour of his heart, but why was his heart outside of the body to begin with? Again, was it typically for that time? Were hearts always taken out of the bodies before burying? The answers to these will help connect the current 'dotted lines' in the article. Latin Beau 23:30, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Third Order of Saint Francis - removed
Hello, i have just read (and removed) that Jean-Marie Vianey was member of the Third Order of Saint Francis. It is false. He was a diocesan priest only. Two quick references. First from the John Paul II Seminary at Ars itself (which is under the supervision of the Vatican) https://sjmv.net/priestofars/ and the second from the Franciscan website itself where it presents Jean-Marie Vianey. It never mention that he was part of the order but that he was a local priest www.franciscanmedia.org/franciscan-spirit-blog/john-vianney-the
