Assumption[edit]

@Lucullus19: Utilizing Saint Joseph: His Life, His Virtues, His Privileges, His Power by Jeremiah Kinane is not following Wikipedia's reliable source policy. Kinane was not a scholar of early Christian history, but rather a prelate who wrote eloquent devotionals. He fails to provide any references in this devotional, which itself appears to have only been reprinted by Aeterna Press, an entity with little evidence of editorial oversight. You have repeatedly inserted content sourcing material to this book across several articles without discussion and over repeated explanation (despite claims to the contrary in your edit summaries). I'll give you another 48 hours to find a better source. ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:08, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"rather a prelate who wrote eloquent devotionals" So, not reliable for anything except his own opinions. Any citation to him has to be removed. Dimadick (talk) 13:00, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dimadick: Yes, that's all I think his writing on this subject is suitable for. ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:21, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
