Well, the publisher did have a very reasonable response to the charge. They publish the Da Vinci Code?! So...this seems very implausible to me. I've really seen no solid evidence that confirms the charge besides the word of the authors themselves... [[User:Cyrusrex1545]] |

Again, I don't see that the citations offered give any evidence for these "facts," except for the testimony of the authors. At least, it should be changed to "The authors of Imprimatur claim..." Don't you agree? [[User:Cyrusrex1545|Cyrusrex1545]] ([[User talk:Cyrusrex1545|talk]]) 16:24, 27 November 2009 (UTC) |

Renal calculi
This article mentions nothing about the Pope's kidney stones, which attained a particularly large size.—RJH (talk) 18:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Monaldi and Sorti
What do professional historians have to say about their thesis?
Also, it appears that none of the sources regarding a soft censorship in Italy do any interviews or investigation of the publishers or the Vatican itself. Come on! Do we simply trust the testimony of the authors, who have obviously received more hype because of their treatment by the Italian press?Cyrusrex1545 (talk) 08:25, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
The Telegraph actually has the following:
'A Vatican spokesman said: "It seems strange that they would accuse us of conspiracy. Certainly, if their historical novel has managed to sell 15,000 copies in Italy, they should be happy. This is a good figure for that type of book."
A Mondadori spokesman disputed the book's sales figures and added: "We are the Italian publishers of Dan Brown [the author of The Da Vinci Code], which was much harder to release, so I don't think we would have been troubled by the suggestions in this book."'
These responses seem much more cool-headed and plausible, but my opinion isn't really relevant. The point is that all of this information from a historical novel playing such a central role in this Wiki page is problematic. I really think that some comment from historians on this matter is fundamental. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyrusrex1545 (talk • contribs) 08:36, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
- It rang false to me, too, that's why I added the [citation needed] tag. If you find anything to contradict it, I'd be glad to take it out. --Coemgenus 12:08, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
