The prescription of the solemn rite to crown venerated images is embedded in the Ordo Coronandi Imaginem Beatae Mariae Virginis published by the Holy Office on 25 May 1981. Prior to 1989, papal bulls concerning the authorization of canonical coronations were handwritten on parchment. After 1989, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments began issuing the specific recognition to crown a religious image, spelling out its approved devotional title and authorizing Papal legate.

Rivista Araldica, November 1913, XI(11):p.679–683. The basis of the current Order of St Lazarus's origin, and the authority for its statuting in 1910, has attracted controversy. In 1608/1609, the French branch of the Medieval Order of St Lazarus was canonically linked with the newly pontifically created Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, forming the Royal Military and Hospitaller Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem united under the patronage of the reigning French king. This administrative inter-relationship between these two orders, both under the fons honorum of the Holy See, was canonically recognised in 1668 by a Bull issued by the Holy See legate for France Cardinal Louis de Vendôme, and eventually by Pope Innocent XII in 1695.

He concluded his formal written Nobel Lecture with this poem:Nobel Lecture, December 8, 1994, by Martin Rodbell > To my Friends:Thoughts from “On High” Life on a roller coaster, oscillating > from hither to yon, no respite for the iconoclast, wandering from dusk to > dawn. Conjuring strange thoughts foreign and twice forbidden, like > Prometheus unbound, this Nobelist climbs in vain to Andean peaks, seeking > what most would proclaim insane. Why, he ponders, are there no answers to > protean questions when others thinking cleanly and simply with Occam’s sharp > razor proclaim what seems obvious given the beam of their unerring laser. > Nature, happily unfettered with philosophy, or with cunning, or with intent > moves relentlessly onward or even backward with energy unspent while we > mortals test and probe with twinkling machines blinking precisely at each > movement, striving to unravel its irresolute randomness, its fathomless, > unlimited, meaningless rush into spiraling chaos, oblivious of its > multitudinous trials & errors which we pontifically believe must be unerring > truth & resolution.
