Talk:Vincent de Paul

THIS ARTICLE IS WAY TOO LONG I CANNOT POSSIBLY READ THIS

I know it's easy to call me a idiot, but this is too long. I wouldn't even be surprised if people are just repeating stuff because no one would read something that big about some saint anyway. Is anyone man enough to tackle this long article?

I'd call you an idiot for your blatantly sexist comment. "Man enough??" Since when did men enjoy a monopoly on editing ability? Get into the 21st century, pal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.252.183.253 (talk) 22:26, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

It isn't necessarily the length it's just that it needs to be split into sections and clearer paragraphs Jbhf1 (talk) 11:57, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Incorrupt body

I have updated the entry with information about St. Vincent's relics from Joan Carrol Cruz's book The Incorruptibles (1977), pp. 248-249.76.123.208.229 (talk) 15:11, 27 September 2008 (UTC) Xygjgfdfgjgyfyukfuyfyukfhykfyhfyukfyukuyf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.218.74.191 (talk) 23:09, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Copyvio

I have removed the Biography section as it is essentially a copy of http://www.shc.edu.ph/saintvincent.htm , which is both a copyright violation and plagiarism.

Kidnapping contested --

I understand that some modern authorities -- I'm sorry, I can't remember their names -- feel that the story of Vincent's Islamic captivity is a more recent invention. Pittsburgh Poet (talk) 14:43, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Silly sentence

"At an early age, he showed a talent for reading and writing.."

Since all people, unless mentally deficient, can read and write at some level this sentence is absurd. He may have showed a talent for learning above the norm or was bright or enjoyed learning. The sentence needs to be clarified. As it is, it's just stupid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.252.183.253 (talk) 22:24, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
