Rewritten section

I've rewritten the section on Pudens' identification with the saint of the same name as prose and footnotes rather than bullet points. We need specific cites for Baronius and Ussher: the Annales Ecclesiastici and the British Ecclesiastical Antiquities are enormous works, so a simple title reference isn't very helpful. Even so, I'm not entirely comfortable with defending the identification simply by citing pre-modern historians who asserted it - that's nothing more than argument from authority, which carries no real weight. If we can find a source that actually argues the identification from the evidence that would be much more appropriate. A citation for 2 Timothy being pseudepigraphical is also needed.

I've also removed the "saints" category and stub template, because Saint Pudens has his own page, and it is far from established that Aulus Pudens is the same man. I've left the Wikiproject Saints template in for now, pending any further discussion from the saints projecters, but I think it should also be removed. --Nicknack009 13:28, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've found cites for Ussher and Barionius in the article on Claudia Rufina, so I've copied them over here. --Nicknack009 14:23, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
