Ping!
He was born in 1895, not 1865.
Why? What is the scuttlebutt in NY that has caused this action?
Wow, he was nothing like a televangelist. When did he beg for money and get shiny tooth veneers? The press are such ignoramuses.
Born 1865 ????? try 1895
When they mention El Paso as his birthplace, they mean a small place in Illinois about 30 miles east of Peoria, not the city in Texas.
I don’t understand two things here about “why” the canonization process has been stopped:
1) The denying of moving his body from where it is apparently currently buried to another location.
2) Why does the body have to be inspected before the canonization process can go forward?
Neither make sense to me, a Protestant, for stopping the process and seeking proof of miracles via his intersession.
All — Please note I’m not seeking a “food fight” from asking these two questions but am seeking to understand what seems to me to be separate from the canonization process.
I don’t understand this problem.

I find Dolan to be a bit pompous. Jenky was our Assistant Bishop in Fort Wayne IN., before we was sent to Peoria. He’s a good man.
