The record of the incorrupt saints
What the Church holds. What science found.
Every body claimed incorrupt: what was found, what was done to it, and where it rests today.
The register
Open the registerDraft gathered September 22, 2026 from about 300 lists, articles, and papers in six languages. Not yet verified. Every entry will say what was done to the body, with sources.
Case files
The first ten, chosen for strong records and a spread of outcomes.
The body of St. Bernadette
The body of St. Catherine Labouré
The body of St. Vincent de Paul
Two labels. Never one verdict.
Every case shows the Church's status and our evidence grade side by side. Incorrupt bodies add a line that says what was found and what was done.
The Church's status
Not treated as a miracle
The Church does not count incorruption among the miracles it examines for sainthood, or treat it as proof of holiness. So every body in the register carries this label, in the Church's own terms.
Our evidence grade
The grade describes the evidence, never the truth of the claim.
The preservation line
What was found, and what was done
