As it appears that they do not fulfill Wikipedia image policy, I have removed the two pictures that were previously found on this page. --BassoProfundo 21:20, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Simon Magus
I have removed the above name from the list on the basis that he is neither a Roman Catholic, nor, so far as I can determine, considered a saint by any Christian sect. If anyone can provide sources to the contrary on either point, of course, I would have no objections to his return to the list. John Carter 00:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jesus Christ
"Jesus Christ of Nazareth is reported to have levitated in the Bible. [citation needed]"
I removed the above text from the article. I can recall no actual instance of Jesus levitating above the ground or flying as recorded in scripture. The closest would be his ascension, but the biblical text doesn't actually say he flew or levitated, just that he was "taken up" or "taken away." Works of art sometimes show Jesus appearing to suspended mid-air during the ascension, but that is the artist and the tradition they work in. --Iacobus 06:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
