This log begins October 3, 2026. It records substantive changes from that date; it is not a complete reconstruction of earlier edits. Corrections fix an error. Clarifications explain the evidence, wording, or calendar scope more precisely without claiming that an already careful biography was wrong. Routine formatting changes are omitted.
Excluded alternate URLs from the biography audit total
Scope: directory-wide presentation or revision metadata
Before
The initial source inventory described 641 entries as published biographies, including 16 alternate URLs for existing people.
After
The audit now counts canonical published biographies only. The directory held 625 distinct records before this expansion; alternate URLs do not count as new saints.
How this was checked
Compared the source inventory with the canonical directory data and duplicate-identity records; AI-assisted technical maintenance, not historical or theological review.
· Correction
Biography revision dates now use the latest recorded content update
Scope: directory-wide presentation or revision metadata
Before
Article metadata and sitemap entries preferred the contribution section's date whenever that section existed, even if the biography had been revised more recently.
After
Article metadata and sitemap entries use the latest recorded biography, contribution, or evidence-note revision. A newer biography revision is no longer hidden by an older section date.
How this was checked
Code and data comparison; AI-assisted maintenance, not qualified human historical review.
· Clarification
Distinguished a saint's commemoration date from liturgical rank
Scope: directory-wide presentation or revision metadata
Before
Every biography's recurring date was labeled Feast Day, including optional memorials and traditional commemorations.
After
The date is labeled Commemoration. Calendar notes and an explanatory guide distinguish the directory's recurring date from a feast, memorial, or local observance in an approved liturgical calendar.
How this was checked
AI-assisted comparison with bishops' conference calendar guidance.
The biography already distinguished the Gospel figures, but had no separate evidence note explaining the older liturgical conflation or the meaning of feast rank.
After
Added source-linked evidence and calendar notes: the reformed liturgy concerns Mary of Magdala, and the 2016 change elevated the celebration's rank without moving July 22.
How this was checked
AI-assisted reading of the Holy See's 2016 explanation and preface commentary; no qualified human review credited.
The biography already identified the river crossing as legend and cited a historical reference work.
After
Added a directly linked Vatican News explanation and clarified that a July 25 saint-directory listing does not establish a universal obligatory memorial.
How this was checked
AI-assisted comparison with Vatican News and calendar guidance; no qualified human review credited.
These distinctions were already present in the narrative but were not gathered in a dedicated evidence note.
After
Added source-linked guidance for reading the legend and medieval reception separately from evidence about the ancient martyr, with a note on local calendars.
How this was checked
AI-assisted source comparison; no qualified human review credited.
The short calendar note named October 22 and the inauguration of his pontificate.
After
Added a USCCB reference explaining the optional memorial's rank, its inclusion in the General Roman Calendar, and its distinction from his April 2 death anniversary.
How this was checked
AI-assisted comparison with the USCCB liturgical page; no qualified human review credited.
