Dante Alighieri Canonization Monitor



Dante Alighieri Canonization Monitor


This post is created to keep watch, to listen and wait for the events leading to the eventual canonization of Dante Alighieri. The following is the prophecy of Dante foretelling the lifting of the sentence of his exile from the city of Florence, his eventual canonization and the translation of his remains to the City of Florence.


'If ever it should happen that this sacred poem,
to which both Heaven and Earth have set their hand,
wearing me out in long years' toil, win over the cruel
hearts which keep me in exile from the sweet fold where
I slept as a lamb, an enemy to the wolves who now
make war upon it, then with a new voice and a new fleece
I shall return, a poet, and be crowned with the laurel
wreath at the font of my baptism.'
paradiso canto xxv



The above words of the Divine Poet apply to the city of Florence, in issuing the recent pardon: 'win over the cruel hearts which keep me in exile from the sweet fold where I slept as a lamb' These words were fulfilled 700 years later, their cruel hearts were finally won over.

The following words of the Divine Poet will be fulfilled when the Body of Dante is translated to Florence and the Divine Poet is Canonized: 'then with a new voice and a new fleece I shall return, a poet, and be crowned with the laurel wreath at the font of my baptism.'

  1. Dante shouldn't be canonized. If the catholic church wants to honor his memory, they should completely disband their institution. It's corruption is now just as bad, if not worse than it was is Dante's time.
