| == The prophecies of Joan of Arc ==
| |
| | |
| Jean Dunois testified that not all of Joan's prophesies were fulfilled<ref>Murray, p. 241</ref>,
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>Although Jeanne sometimes spoke in jest of the affairs of war, and although, ''to encourage the soldiers'', she may have foretold events which were not realized, nevertheless, when she spoke seriously of the war, and of her deeds and her mission, she only affirmed earnestly that she was sent to raise the siege of Orleans, and to succour the oppressed people of that town and the neighbouring places, and to conduct the King to Rheims that he might be consecrated (emphasis added)</blockquote>

| ==== Joan's own testimony on those prophesies ====
| |
| Joan told her Uncle , Durand Laxart, and a woman with whom she stayed on her second visit with him to Vaucouleurs,<blockquote>“Was it not said that France would be ruined through a woman and afterwards restored by a virgin?”.</blockquote>>> see [https://www.jeanne-darc.info/biography/prophecies/ Prophecies | Joan of Arc | Jeanne-darc.info]
| |
| == Why Joan only now? ==
| |
| Jeanne d'Arc was canonized in 1905. It's not unusual for such a long delay in beatification, but there are reasons for it with Saint Joan. So why so long for her?
| |
| | |
| Once her work was done, she was easily forgotten, beginning with the Siege of Orleans and the coronation of Charles VII, upon which the French court did its best to ignore her. Given the opportunity to ransom her upon her capture, the King refused and, well, washed his hands of her. Once they had consolidated rule over France, the kings had every reason -- well, aside from honesty -- not to attribute the legitimacy of their rule to a peasant girl.

| A rather interesting document is found from a publication, "The Rationalist" from 1913, The Story of Joan of Arc: the Witch Saint,"<ref>[https://gutenberg.org/cache/epub/45479/pg45479-images.html The Story of Joan Of Arc the Witch--saint, by M. M. Mangasarian]</ref> which seems to have been in response to Pius X's beatification of Joan (final step towards canonization). The author contends that "modern thought" has led to her vindication and not the Catholic Church, which is just using her shrine and stories of miracle cures before it as a "new income." The author says his essay will save Catholicism from itself.

| == Historical sources ==
| |
| The history of Joan of Arc is comparatively well-documented, even for the 1400s, a period that yields plenty of artifacts and primary sources. The facts of her life a clear and incontestable. In her day, she was the subject of various documented inquiries, an extended court trial, and subsequent inquiries that document witnesses and assessed evidence. We even know much about her mystical experiences -- or whatever they were, as she told the record about them.
