This book is intended to give an overview of Joan of Arc's heroic
life, her bogus trial and conviction that caused her to be burnt to
death at the stake for heresy in 1431. It examines her posthumous
vindication in 1456, and her eventual canonization in 1920. At that
time, Pope Benedict XV declared Joan of Arc to be a Saint and
Virgin of the Church, but the title of Martyr was denied. While
researching the life of St. Joan, the author discovered a sermon
preached in 1965 by John Cardinal Wright in France. He said that he
believed ." . . Joan of Arc died a martyr in the full theological
sense of that glorious title. . ." His words inspired the author to
focus on why this omission occurred, the reason why it happened,
and a new argument to demonstrate the truth of her actual
martyrdom.
