An extremely sceptical view of the periphenomena of sanctity, and a useful antidote to some credulous accounts such as those by Cruz. However, Nickel's mode of operation is simply to find some countervailing argument/opinion or problem, cite it, and move on. He does not used original sources for the most part, and did only a little, mostly journalistic, research.
