How did she die?

[edit]

Prout was only forty-three when she died, so does any one know how she died? If so, putting in the cause of her death would make an interesting addition to the article.Rollo August (talk) 19:55, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From memory of reading biographies of her in a magazine and newspaper in the 1980a I understand she died of TB but, not now being in possession of the published sources I can't introduce it here. Is she mentioned in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, which usually mentions death causes? (ODNB biographers often draw on death certificates for information.)Cloptonson (talk) 18:28, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

[edit]

This edit changed the lead and infobox by, among other things, removing from the infobox "[[Catholic Church]]" from the |venerated_in= parameter and "Founder, [[Sisters of the Cross and Passion|Passionist Sisters]]" from the |title= parameter and replacing "religious institute" with "congregation" in the lead. Since there was no substantive explanation to the edit, I am opening a discussion here to give @Medusahead an opportunity to explain their reasoning further. Note well I absolutely assume good faith here. These changes may be fully warranted, but I am not sure and so would like to get more information to help evaluate. Thanks.  — Archer1234 (t·c) 15:22, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I changed that for the following reasons: a) Servants of God are not venerated, only Beatified and Saints are. b) the named sisters are a religious congregation (this is more specified than just "religious institute") and c) apart from the fact that the same applies as in a), "Founder, Sisters of the Cross and Passion|Passionist Sisters" is not a title (the rubrics would most probalby call her a Virgin. --Medusahead (talk) 08:32, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
