Saints banner and category

[edit]

Based on this individual being included in the Calendar of saints (Scottish Episcopal Church), I am adding the Category:Anglican saints and the Saints WikiProject banner to this article. I am awaiting reliable sources which can be used to add the content to the article. John Carter 18:56, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conversion to catholicism

[edit]

It seems that bishop Forbes converted to the catholic Church in 1850. I've read this piece of news in "La civiltà cattolica", 1850, 3rd vol., page 188. 151.70.3.52 (talk) 16:04, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Over a decade late to the party, I know, but I've found the piece you mention and from my dodgey Italian it would seem that that is indeed what it says... but considering he remained an Anglican bishop for another 25 years I find its veracity doubtful! 2A02:C7C:9AE1:4D00:FC46:A4A4:BD92:510A (talk) 06:52, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Alexander Forbes (bishop of Brechin). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
