Talk:Pope Leo IX

Untitled
I must admit that I find the request for a photograph to be a touch anachronistic to the subject... ;-)

removal of Saint from his name
Aren't nearly all, if not all, of the popes (except the living) now saints? Why would this be embedded in his article name? Even the 1911 Britannica lists him simply as Pope Leo IX. Is it just a misinformed entry or is his sainthood unique to him? Or is it a consequence of the "after effect" of history where his fans try to elevate his stature while and after he is pope, where they create myths about the subject, such as the stories about his saint-like behavior during his lifetime?

 * No, most popes are not declared saints. But looking at other Pope articles, who also happen to be saints, they also do not have "Pope Saint" in the beginning title. I think it works well enough to have it noted his sainthood and feast day in article (as is) and can be seen in the Profile, he still has his official Pope Saint title above his portrait. So I think your edit was fine75.73.150.255 (talk) 07:25, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Efficient in music?
"Bruno found some consolation in music, in which he proved himself very efficient." I realize this line comes from the Catholic Encyclopedia, but it makes little sense, at least in current English. Is it supposed to read "proficient"? Mahousu (talk) 17:36, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
