The Rainbow Madonna[edit]

Folks, it might seem like a minor issue, but I would still like to hear several opinions on that. In my opinion, the Rainbow Madonna thing deserves to be mentioned in the article, just "hiding" it as a Wikilink seems odd. Now, I'm a modern person who has no particular interests in the Catholic Church & its teaching but is interested in LGBT issues: that's really the way I learned about the issue. Shouldn't there be a small section really, given that Haitian Vodou already exists? I'd really advocate for restoring my versions. Potugin (talk) 18:52, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Haitian Vodou is entirely different. Polish soldiers have brought reproduction of the Black Madonna to Haiti during the Napoleonic Wars, and Ezili Dantors Madonna is now being worshiped. It’s a sacred symbol; people pray to it. Rainbow Madonna, in contrast, is not a religious symbol, it's not being worshiped but in the last couple of years is being used as a banner at demonstrations. See also section is appropriate. - GizzyCatBella🍁 19:30, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with GizzyCatBella, and per my edit summary. Also, the Haittan Vodou is already centruries thing which has connection with National personification (is mentioned there). See also is appropriate. Dawid2009 (talk) 19:37, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merging with Polish[edit]

I am planing to translating (mostly with DeepL, and a lot of clean up, but also got some help if really needed) the Polish version of this article, which has more extensive coverage of the topic and trying to merge it into what is already in this article. Working on it on my user page User:Codefisher/Black_Madonna_of_Częstochowa. I read that articles with all foreign language footnotes are not well received, so I am also trying to translate and publish many of the sources. As I write this I have only done the first bit, but you can see where this is going. Feedback and guidance welcome, I have not really done much on here before. I will overwrite the current page once I am done, which might take awhile if I try to translate all the footnotes. I also got a few books on the subject that I am also looking to use.
