medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Most of what I've read on stigmata relate the
phenomenon to hysteria. Many persons, of no saintly
bent whatsoever, have been so afflicted. Unfortunately
I can't remember exactly what I read or where I found
the material. And I must emphasize that the studies
were not done by saint-bashers but thoughtful
examinations of this mysterious event.
