There are quite a lot of names which need adding to this list, for example:
Francois Fenelon; - Please elucidate justification
Ignatius of Loyola; - Done
Theresa of Lisieux; - Done
Jan Ruysbroeck; - Done
Walter Hilton; - Done
Richard Rolle; - Done
The author of "The Cloud of the Unknowing".
If any one can check whether these people have entries in Wikipedia, I really think that at least some of the above should go on the list. ACEO20:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Brian Cleeve - deleted on NPOV gounds. Give him the ususal test of history (50 years) and we'll know whether he made an original insight to the corpus or if he was just a controversist. At the moment, he appears more like the latter.
I haven't attempted even a half-way study of the list, but some of the entries are so manifestly erroneous as to raise serious suspicions that contributors have no clear idea of what mysticism (in the Christian context) is: for example, Richard Jefferies is on no footing a Christian mystic, and the article on him doesn't mention that he is a Christian of any kind (it alludes to his being a "nature mystic"). This seriously impairs the credibility of the set. I will add that receipt of apparitions is not, of itself, proof of mysticism. Thus, St. Bernadette was not a mystic: Laurentin - one of her leading biographers - says that after the apparitions she "returned to the normal state of faith in her daily life" ("St. Bernadette of Lourdes", Darton Longman and Todd, 1979 pbk, p.192).
