# Later Vatican narration of the 1323 canonization prints miracle-healings as proof

Date: 1323

## The fact

John XXII’s 18 July 1323 canonization, as retold in later Holy See anniversary letters and encyclopedias, rests in part on miracle-healings. The dated public carrier used here includes the 2023 Vatican anniversary letter that recalls that act. Miracle-proof can crowd out shared clinical explanation when taught as sufficient medicine.

## Context

Canonization is not a clinic. Low confidence on any unique delay of hospitals. The row stores the printed miracle-as-proof heading, not a 1323 autopsy.

[Thomas Aquinas](/people/thomas-aquinas) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official edition, Holy See, or archive page and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Francis, letter on the 700th anniversary of Aquinas’s canonization (30 June 2023) (https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/letters/2023/documents/20230630-lettera-card-semeraro.html; Holy See / vatican.va).

## Significance

Printed miracle-healings as legal proof are a low-confidence rival to shared clinical capacity.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. The attached driver is infectious-disease-transmission. The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
