Hello, on your St. Corona page, you say she is a patroness of gambling and treasure hunters.

The only source you quote is catholic.org. Catholic.org is not a Catholic Church website. It is owned by Jeff Galloway, who recently went to prison defrauding Catholic charities. https://www.ncronline.org/news/people/founder-catholic-online-sentenced-21-months-prison-tax-evasion

There is NO Catholic source that makes the claim of gambling and treasure hunters. You are doing your readers a disservice. If you check the official Catholic church source for saints, St. Corona is not even listed as a patron saint of any particular cause. Most saints are not on the list. https://ourcatholicfaith.org/patronsaints.html

Saint Corona has been known by for almost 500 years as a patroness of disease. You only have to look at the history of St. Corona parish in Austria, formed in 1504 AD. The founders of the church list Patron Saint of Epidemics on their website. She is well known in Bavaria, Germany and Austria for this cause. Your website says there is little evidence. Actually, there is an abundance of information including St. Corona parish website at http://www.pfarre-stcorona.at/stc/geschichte/

It would be wonderful if you edited this site, to exclude this information about gambling, etc. Do you think the Catholic Church would really have a saint for such a sinful activity in many cases?
