# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Valencia on 23 January 1350, Vincent Ferrer joined the Dominicans and built a reputation as a preacher, missionary, and logician. During the Western Schism he backed Antipope Benedict XIII, then set out across Western Europe and the British Isles on a preaching campaign that some accounts say brought 25,000 Jews into the Catholic fold. Other sources suggest his influence leaned on coercive means: synagogues forcibly converted into churches, conversions that were not entirely voluntary. He died on 5 April 1419 and was canonized in 1455, his legacy a tangle of persuasion and pressure.
