Talk:St. Maria Goretti

I read this article because the saint's death was listed on Wikipedia's daily listing of events, births and deaths. By the time I finished the article, I felt I had to alert someone at Wikipedia about its contents. There is only one footnote for the entire article, and that footnote links to a website dedicated to this, the youngest saint in the "Universal Church" (I quote the article).

This article is biased and is not up to Wikipedia standards. It should be marked by a warning box. The only information that is not tainted is presented at the top of the article in short paragraphs as a timeline. The rest of the article (without independent citations) is simply church propaganda and should not be allowed to be in Wikipedia without at least a warning. --Buenolio 02:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)Buenolio

I agree completely: this page is pure propaganda, moreover, it would be very useful to add that there have been many polemics not only about what really happened to the poor and very young Maria Goretti but also on the instrumental use that the church did of her death. Unfortunately I have read details about this a few years ago and I do not have them at disposition. Plch 23:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
