Editorial standards
Everything here is about people who lived and events that were written down. That deserves care, so this page says plainly how the texts are made and where their claims come from.
What we publish
Illustrated audio series on the saints, the Marian apparitions and the Passion of Christ, and a Journal of articles on Catholic practice and history. The series are narrative: they follow a life as it happened, without inventing dialogue that no source records.
Where the facts come from
Scripture, the acts of canonisation and the official documents of the Church, the writings of the saints themselves where they exist, and the standard historical scholarship on each life. When an article states a date, a document or a quotation, it names it in the text so you can check it.
Legend and documented history are not the same
Many beloved stories have thin or late documentation. We still tell them — they are part of how devotion grew — but we say so in the text, rather than presenting a fifteenth-century story as a first-century fact. Where scholars disagree, the article says that they disagree.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, we want to fix it. Write to us with the page and the source, and a corrected version replaces the old one; articles carry the date they were published and the date they were revised.
