Birth certificate

[edit]
The registered birth certificate of Helena Kowalska

I do not consider this illustration to be a photograph, so I have removed it from the article. Does anyone see it differently?Mr. bobby (talk) 19:52, 22 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Mr. bobby: It does look to me like a modern photograph of a birth registry from the time period in Europe. I've looked at hundreds of similar genealogical records from Europe around that time that have been photographed in the process of digitizing them - some look better than this, but I've also seen several that are worse. The details of the file over on Wikimedia Commons indicates that this was provided by a State Archive. Other than your personal incredulity, what evidence do you have to question its provenance?
The certificate belongs to the State Archives in Poznań, please read the article: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archiwum_Pa%C5%84stwowe_w_Poznaniu On July 10, 2014, the State Archives in Poznań and the Wikimedia Polska Association signed a cooperation agreement under which files containing scanned images of archival materials from the resources of the Poznań Archive are uploaded to Wikimedia Commons servers. --Rafaelosornio (talk) 02:57, 23 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

The Index

[edit]

Given the issue of the Forbidden Index, here is a source that says Kowalska was on the Index: Robert Ellsberg Blessed Among Us: Day by Day with Saintly Witnesses. ISBN 9780814647219 (Liturgical Press, 2016) pp 575. And Litergical Press is careful about these things. So let there be no confusion. Yesterday, all my dreams...

She herself was not on the Index; rather, her writings (her diary) and the devotion associated with them were, from 1959 until 1978, when the condemnation was revoked.--JasterOmega (talk) 22:26, 20 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Yes. And William J. Collinge, Historical Dictionary of Catholicism Rowan and Littlefield 2021 ISBN 9781538130186 pp 131 says your dates are correct. Yesterday, all my dreams... (talk) 22:38, 20 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
