Proposal to resolve the Catholic/Roman Catholic debateSo far as I can determine, there are at least six archived pages of talk relating to the proper name of the page for the Catholic Church headed by the Pope. It is hard to imagine that this so-far endless discussion has not resulted in bad feelings on all sides. Regretably, no final resolution seems to be likely anytime soon if the same tactics are taken. I would like to make a proposal which I believe might finally solve the core dispute which has led to this argument. I also note that I myself am in no way qualified to seek to "impose" this possibility on anyone, and am thus requesting that the majority of the rest of you involved in this discussion at least consider lending your support to this way of very likely resolving the current discussion. As most of you will know, there is currently an election to the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees ongoing. My proposal is that, come the end of this election, a special referendum regarding the name debate be held. Any and all editors who have taken part in the election, but only those individuals, would be eligible to vote to determine how this matter would be decided, including all those who claim no allegiance to any of the opposing sides. The decision reached would not be "final" in any real sense, but would resolve the question which has led to the current debate until some development which alters the current status quo takes place. Exactly how to determine what such developments would qualify could also be one of the issues involved in the vote. I ask each of you to thoughtfully and, according to your own inclinations, prayerfully consider this proposal, and, if it is one agreeable to you, to help me in finding out exactly how to go about making this happen. (Hey, I'm kinda new here, OK?) Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 21:32, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

When I started it in November 2005, I didn't seem like anyone wanted to join. I soon gave up on the whole idea after no one joined. It was a huge surprise when I saw 75 other Wikipedians on this list. I would like to thank all of those that took the reigns of this project in my absence. For that, you get my gratitude and many will recieve Barnstars. Keep up the good work, and lets keep adding our Catholic input on Wikipedia. Trevor 20:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

!!Attention!! INPORTANTPlease help the article The Truth of the Catholic Church please keep it from being deleted and please help revise it. this is the reason why iI created the article. I created this article for the sole purpose of debunking attacks and critsisms against the Catholic Church. This article is not nessiarly an apolgetic site for the Church. But it's rather a site to debunk crtisisms against the Catholic Church. Such as Catholics worshiping Mary or Catholics worshiping statues and pitures. Were here to give facts, info, and history to defend the Church and debunk these attacks and and critsisms. This article does not and should not endorse or impose any Church or religion. This article does not and should not attack or crtisize any Church or religion. This article is for facts and facts only. Please do not I say do not delete this article. This article can be very useful for people to get the truth in a fair and balenced way without the site imosing their Church. Or without spritual advise or without the stance of somebody trying to convert somebody.
Tagging talk pages and assessing articlesHi. If you still have work to do tagging talk pages and assessing articles, my AWB plugin might be of interest to you. The plugin has two main modes of operation:
As of the current version, WikiProjects with simple "generic" templates are supported by the plugin without the need for any special programatic support by me. I've had a look at your project's template and you seem to qualify. For more information see:
Hope that helps. If you have any questions or find any bugs please let me know on the plugin's talk page. --Kingboyk 12:03, 20 September 2006 (UTC) How'd I do?Hey everyone, I am new to the project and to Wikipedia itself.

{{RC-stub}} sub-categoriesThe main Catholic Church stub type has been hovering either side of being officially "oversized" for some time now. A while ago, I proposed a Category:Catholic theology and doctrine stubs; I've now uploaded a list of candidates for same to User:Alai/RC-theo. If someone knowledgeable in this area would care to take a look, and either modify the list, or let me know, that would be handy. Also, what about a Category:Roman Catholic Church by country stubs type for the numberous "Church in Blahland" stub articles? Alai 23:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC) Articles for creation: help requested on potential moveAt Wikipedia:Articles for creation#probabilism (Catholic moral theology) there is a suggestion that the existing article Catholic Probabilism may be misnamed, and it seems to me that a name such as Probabilism (Catholic moral theology) may be a better place to move the article to. However, I am unfamiliar with the topic and don't know if probabilism would be classified as an example of moral theology or something else. In other words, I am looking for a recommendation of somewhere to move the article to, beginning with Probabilism (Catholic ...) but I need another opinion as to how to fill in the blank. (Note: Tomorrow, the Articles for Creation entry will be moved to Wikipedia:Articles for creation/2006-11-19.) --Metropolitan90 05:59, 18 November 2006 (UTC) Justification article feedback requestedHi all, I would like Catholic input on the justification article, especially with regard to the first section, "Justification in the Early Church" (but also with the article in general). The goal with the first section is to set the stage with basic factual information that becomes important in the later differences between RC, EO, and P theologies. I've had a spot of difficulty because a couple of anonymous-IP Wikipedians have made 'corrections' that have bordered on POVism -- copying parts of the "Catholic View" section into the "Early Church" section, e.g. In the interest of NPOV, and since I happen to be Protestant, I would like for knowledgeable Catholics to proof the section or article and give feedback or make corrections as needed. Talk: Justification (theology) here. Grace and peace, jrcagle 19:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Diocesan Infobox / work in progressI am currently working on an "Infobox" for Catholic Dioceses - you can see the beginning work in progress on at my User page User:SkierRMH/Diocese Infobox. I have a couple of requests before I present this as a standard:
Thanks for any feedback, assistance, that you can provide! SkierRMH 22:34, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Some time ago I have created on already, and it is already in use in a few diocesan articles - see Template:Infobox Diocese. In contrast to your proposal I have limited myself to the most important facts only, IMHO infoboxes are good for a quick overview on the most important facts and should not contain too much data. The welfare or education numbers could be well made into a whole section of the article, where then also the most important schools etc. can be mentioned. We have quite a lot of diocese articles which are rather short in text, so your infobox would be way longer than the text area in those cases, and probably most fields would be empty as they cannot be found. I also tried to make that infobox work with not only dioceses, but also apostolic vicariates etc., and be capable of incomplete data - not all diocese have auxiliary bishops, sometimes the name of the cathedral is not easy to find. andy 09:11, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Suggest emphasizing, through nomenclature in the infobox, that the eccesiastical province is not the archdiocese, which many people seem to think. They are named the same/similar. While it is a nuisance to have to maintain the name of the metropolitan when it changes, at least it appears correctly to the casual reader. Student7 12:21, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Michael Hardy 23:46, 28 December 2006 (UTC) Wikipedia Day AwardsHello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 18:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC) The group indicated above was recently revitalized for, among other things, the purpose of working on those articles whose content is such that the article does not fall within the scope of any particular denomination. To most effectively do this, however, we would benefit greatly if there were at least one member from this Project working on those articles. On that basis, I would encourage and welcome any member of this Project willing to work on those articles to join the Religion WikiProject. Thank you. Badbilltucker 14:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Contemporary and past dioceses - categorizationI raised this issue with respect to Diocese of Hamar, which is a Lutheran diocese under the Church of Norway, but was - until 1536 - the seat of a Roman Catholic diocese as well. There is no direct connection between the two - the modern city of Hamar was founded in 1849 about a mile south of the medieval city. I think it would be misleading to equate the two dioceses, since they covered different areas, were set up under entirely different situations, and obviously are related to entirely different denominations. This applies to other dioceses in Norway and presumably in other countries where the Reformation became a crown edict. My suggestion would be to set up a separate category called Category:Former Roman Catholic dioceses or some such term. And then I think that for example there should be an article called Roman Catholic diocese of Hamar. Perhaps someone more familiar with the terminology, etc., can propose the right wording? --Leifern 21:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Warning: Deletion of all papal coats of armsIt looks like next to all papal coats of arms have been proposed for deletion because of the deletion of a template and a lack of information about sourcing for these images. Please go through Category:Images with unknown copyright status as of 29 December 2006 and other appropriate categories and add the needed information to prevent them from being deleted. When you've added the source, please also remember to add the insignia in question to the affected article(s) again. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 14:40, 5 January 2007 (UTC) Jesus nominated for Article Improvement DriveI recently found that our article on Jesus is the first page that appears when anyone does a Google search of the subject. It is currently, regrettably, only at GA status. On that basis, I would request any individuals who might be interested in helping to bring this article up to FA status to indicate their support for the article being chosen as the AID article at Wikipedia:Article Creation and Improvement Drive#Jesus. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 18:01, 6 January 2007 (UTC) The number of pages linking to lay cardinal is rather small. If others should link there, please add the links. I read David Kertzer's book The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara, and then saw the play by Alfred Uhry based (only a little bit loosely) on the true story. The play has Pope Pius IX (played by Brian Murray in the production I saw) explaining that a certain woman was a "....friend" [or something like that] of Cardinal Giacomo Antonelli, and then saying "He's not breaking any vows; he's a cardinal, not a priest." The audience laughed. I wonder how many understood that Antonelli was quite literally a cardinal and not a priest. (Of course, I don't mean to say that the audience was wrong to laugh at that statement....) Michael Hardy 03:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC) Articles about PopesI may be restarting a discussion that has already happened, but it seems to me that a good 200 of the 260 articles on individual popes are of extraordinarily low quality. Nearly all of them suffer from too many quotations from Britannica and Catholic Encyclopedia without any context ("Innocent was supported by Girolasto and Cavatelli", whoever they are; references to theological debates that aren't explained; etc). They all need to be edited for style and tone so they don't sound like they were typed verbatim from a book written in 1899. A lot of them are stub-level, missing wikilinks, etc. Furthermore, very very few are tagged as part of this project, nor are they tagged as anything (many even have blank discussion pages). I guess what I'm saying is there needs to be a mini-project to clean up these articles - they collectively seem to be the red-headed stepchild of this project and it would be nice of some diligent person/s could address them one by one. Thoughts? --Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 04:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Assessing articles about PopesPerhaps the members of the project can help me with a tagging problem I have. take as an example the article Anacletus or Pope Sisinnius. As is common with many of the early popes there is very little detail. In fact my primary source book on the popes (*Richard P. McBrien, Lives of the Popes (Harper, 2000). ISBN 0-06-065304-3) contains 7 lines on Sisinnius and the Catholic Encylopaedia has 6 lines. Therefore these articles are very unlikely (barring some major archaeological find) to progress beyond what they currently contain. How then should the quality of these articles be assessed? I believe that stub and start are unreasonable. Even though they are complete (small as they are) and that would warrant an A quality seems a bit over the top. Would B be acceptable as a compromise? I would really value your thoughts on this. Discuss on this page or my Pope Worskpace Loyola 13:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC) Anti-Judaism versus anti-SemitismI'm having an editing dispute over at what was once called Anti-Judaism and has since become, against my protests, Religious antisemitism. The move was decided upon via a hijack at Talk:antisemitism (rather than Talk:Anti-Judaism), and I've tried make various reasonable (I believe) arguments as to why this makes little sense, but I've made no headway. Most of the contributers at antisemitism seem to fall under the old saw "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" and seem completely unwilling to distinguish the teachings of the New Testament and the apologetics of the Church Fathers from what I would consider the real anti-Semitism of Luther, David Duke, etc. I've now been told that what Jesus was preaching was a form of "theological antisemitism". I'm continuing to work on the article anyway at User:Kendrick7#Anti-Judaism but once I present it, I'm just going to be accused of content forking I fear. Any support, moral or otherwise, would be appreciated. Pax vobiscum. -- Kendrick7talk 17:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

See Template talk:Project Catholicism. JASpencer 22:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC) I have embarked on a major expansion of the History of the Papacy article which was just a stub before I started working on it yesterday. I have attempted to keep the focus of that article on the history of the Papacy and NOT on the history of the Catholic church. This is, of course, a very difficult distinction to maintain since the histories of the Papacy and the Church are so closely intertwined. What I've been trying to do is to leave out anything that is more about the Church but not really that relevant to the Papacy. It seems to me, for example, that the work of most missionaries is an important part of the Church's history but not as important a part of the history of the Papacy. For this reason, I have left those out. I seek your help in making these kinds of distinctions. I have, for the time being, left out the Crusades, the Inquisition and the Reformation. I am trying to decide how relevant these are to the history of the Papacy. They are, obviously, very important to the history of the Church. What should be said about these topics in the History of the Papacy article? Your thoughts on this question would be much appreciated.
I have also left out most of the 20th century because I ran out of steam. I plan to write something about the relationship of Pius XII to Hitler and Mussolini.
The role of John XXIII in convening Vatican II is also important. I also plan to write something about the relationship of John Paul II to the Polish Communist government and his role in helping bring an end to Communist domination of Eastern Europe. His role in reversing the modernist trend in the church is also important to document.
Have I left anything out? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Richardshusr (talk • contribs) 09:50, 27 January 2007 (UTC). I have to say that I was disappointed to find that the History of the Catholic Church article was a timeline instead of a prose article. As such, I think it should be titled Chronology of the Catholic Church. I would much prefer that an article titled History of the Catholic Church should be an overview that expands upon the history section in the Roman Catholic Church but provides a level of detail similar to History of the Papacy or History of the United States. What do you think? --Richard 09:54, 27 January 2007 (UTC) Anti-Catholic HumorI have proposed moving/deleting the "Anti-Catholic Humor" section of the Anti-Catholicism article. I have provided my rationale on the talk page. User:Colin4C has objected to this proposal but I disagree with his reasoning.

Page links to CrusadersBelieve it or not, rather then linking here or to a separate article about the participants of the Crusades, this un-ambiguated titled actually goes to an article about a Rugby team. Now unfortunately this means that many of the 200+ links that are actually meant to go to the Crusades article are linking there. Now there is a page move request to move the Rugby team article to one that actually makes a lick of sense and to have the Crusaders redirect to the Crusade's article but assuming that doesn't go through, it might be helpful to have some folks take a look at these misdirected links so we can get them pointing to a more appropriate article. 205.157.110.11 15:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC) Catholic Women's LeagueCurrently I cannot find an article on the CWL.

Article in sore need of more watchersThe article De Viris Illustribus (Jerome) was created by a user who likes to include fairly questionable content, like a reference to "Peter, considered to be the first divine person by church of Rome." Moreover, the user in question believes that the New Testament was written by Petrarch in the 14th century AD, and that various books contain "very special meanings" in need of being decoded. (See further the deletion discussion for 62 of his articles that were deleted this morning.) I am burning out trying to single-handedly steer De Viris Illustribus (Jerome) towards being a sound and encyclopedic article, and I hope someone else can start watching the page. I have no agenda and would welcome editors with very different views from mine; the page just needs honest and experienced participants, period. (It might also be worthwhile to explore Doug Coldwell's other contributions.)

I don't take his arguments all that seriously, but it needs wider discussion because it could have implications across all pre-Reformation Bishop articles. 16:35, 18 March 2007 (UTC) I have recently delisted the article on Annibale Bugnini from the good articles list, for the reasons listed on the talk page. I hope to help try and rectify some of the serious problems with the article soon, as the reform of the liturgy is a topic I am seriously reading up on at the moment, but for now, I thought the only option was to delist immediately, as this article is some way short of the required standard as I understand it and have seen it applied in other topics. If some experienced editors from here would go over and have a look and try and address some of the concerns, that would be great. Robotforaday 03:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC) I have recently done some major edits to Cistercians (adding images, restructuring for chronological order, improving sources and expanding on Cistercian technology, etc.), and I feel this article would make a good GA with some work (if you forgive the redundancy).

I have therefore set up a page for such discussion at Portal:Saints/Saint of the day for interested parties to nominate content related to individual saints they would like to see featured on the portal, and one which particular day, if one is preferred. I am here thinking particularly about possibly including individuals on the days of their feasts, if they have one.

I have not altered quotations. I have not removed capitalization from church names, as it is proper usage. The lower case usage is recommended by the Chicago Manual of Style and prevents any appearance of endorsing the Catholic Church as The Church. Be well!! Vassyana 01:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
8.106 Church When used alone to denote organized Christianity as an institution, the church is usually lowercased. church and state the early church the church in the twenty-first century the church fathers Church is capitalized when part of the formal name of a denomination (e.g., the United Methodist Church; see other examples in 8.105) or congregation (e.g., the Church of St. Thomas the Apostle).

John Carter 15:09, 17 May 2007 (UTC) Vicariates and DeaneriesThe nomenclature of the subdivisions of governance within a Roman Catholic diocese or archdiocese could use some attention. A hierarchy below the level of Diocese and above Parish seems to exist but not be well explained. Maybe dioceses are organized differently, but there seems to be something out there that deserves mention in Wiki. I've come across the terms vicariate and Deanery in my research of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Erie, for example, and the definitions I've found in Wiki don't explain what I'm seeing on Erie's diocesan web page and elsewhere. I'm having difficulties making internal links. The page on Apostolic vicariate is not applicable. The term episcopal vicar in the Catholic section of the article on Vicar general hints at the role of the vicariate. I've added some comments in this regard to the discussion page associated with the article on Vicar. Pat 10:04, 19 May 2007 (UTC) bishop stubsI set up an article on my (romanian byzantine rite) bishop which was definitely a stub. Since there seemed to be only one stub category for catholic bishops, I used the RC-bishop-stub tag, taking the intent of the tag to be a reference to the universal Church and not a "latin rite only" thing. After the stub tag got removed on that page (and apparently several others) I did some research and found the use of RC to be ambiguous with the term seeming to shift based almost entirely on context. The point of stub article tags is to bring them to the attention of interested editors. Having the eastern bishops stuck in the big pile marked "christian clergy" would seem to be counterproductive. Any thoughts? TMLutas 04:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC) Merger: "Christian Church" and "One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church"I recently merged these two articles.

Sorry to be so dense. Early in the morning here! Are you saying that the diocese navigational list would have "St. Margaret, St. Mary Magdalene, St. Mary of the Fields,..." etc. alphabetically though they are strewn throughout the diocese and a person in St. Margaret's has never heard of the other two churches they are so far away? This is true in the two dioceses where I spend most of my time.

Thanks, Seth Bresnett • (talk) 15:25, 21 August 2007 (UTC) Naming of DiocesesThere doesn't seem to be a consensus on how to name the articles for the Roman Catholic Church. I would like to make a suggestion for a standardized format and get your comments. I lean toward using Roman Catholic Diocese of X. Often other denominations have diocese names that are exactly the same as the Roman Catholic Diocese. Some examples: Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh and Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh, Roman Catholic Diocese of Makurdi and the Anglican Diocese of Makurdi, and the Roman Catholic, Ukrainian, and Armenian Archdioceses of Lviv. This fact would suggest to me that the best structure would be to have the following: individual diocesan pages with the denomination, disambiguation pages for Diocese of X where more than one denomination is present, and redirect pages where another denomination is not present. Npeters22 13:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Diocese Infobox TemplateI have a few questions about the diocese infobox template. First, it does not seem to be appropriate for an archdiocese. Second, what is meant by "location", "territory" and "Population". I would assume territory would refer to the size (in km²) and I would geuss that location would refer to a description of the location of the diocese (the city, county, or other jurisdictions covered by the diocese). Would population refer to the total population of the diocese or only the population of catholics. Both are available on Catholic Heirarchy. Also, for "estabilshed", would this refer to the establishement of the preceeding apostolic prefectures and territories, or only the establishment as a diocese. In the case of an archdiocese, there is also the elevation to this status. There is also an "Infobox Diocese" that deals with some of these issues. Maybe the two infoboxes should be combined taking the best parts of each.

Judgesurreal777 20:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC) Attention to DetailI have often found many articles which do not fall under the scope of WikiProject Catholicism, but that do nevertheless concern the Roman Catholic church, misrepresent Catholic teaching. One example was in the article about Copernicus which implied that the RCC held dogma against heliocentrism. I have since discussed this with users on the talk page and have made the necessary corrections. Also, I would like some opinions as to why in the Roman Catholic Church article there is such emphasis on the Second Vatican Council. Within the 2000 year history of the Church, for that council to be the only with it's own subsection seems to be a bit arbitrary, especially when one considers the effects the First Council of Nicea and the Council of Trent had on Christianity, and yet these are virtually passed over.

Styles and cardinals.A somewhat minor note, but can't think of a better place to drop it off... I've noticed that quite a few cardinals are introduced as His Eminence (see [5]). As per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Honorific prefixes, this generally shouldn't be done. While arguably {{Infobox cardinalstyles}} should wikilink to His Eminence, it currently doesn't and this thus conveniently offers a fairly large list of cardinal articles which could use a bit of cleanup. I don't think I have the expertise to go through all of them, though, as from cursory examination there may be other things that need changing as well.

Hello Fellow Editors, I am requesting feedback from other editors about some changes I recently made to the article Roman Catholic Church. I have been using the FA Islam as a guide to make a page that defines what the Roman Catholic Church is without cluttering the page with too much inflammable content that is already extensively covered in other Wikipages. The page has summaries of important events and Wikilinks to subjects like Catholic social teaching and Spanish Inquisition and the like. The references need work to make them in-line citations but I will get to them when I complete the content portion of the page. Please come take a look at the page and offer your non-POV comments about its content. I would like to work and make the page a FA but I do not have a reviewer who has a NPOV. The page will be stuck without one. Thanks.

There is enough information in Wikisource to create a stub on this college. (But should it be named Collegia Belga, Belgian College, or Belgian College of Rome?) A 1903 copy of New Catholic World [7] mentions a rector named Mgr. Carlo de T'Serclaes, while Justin McCarthy's Pope Leo XIII (1896) refers to T'Serclaes as an "eminent ecclesiastic" and president of the college.[8] Are there any other sources for the existence of this college and is it still around today?

This makes it rather difficult for the Christianity WikiProject to keep track of all articles, as well as potentially reducing the number of editors who might be willing to work on the article, if only the more focused banner is in place. If I were to adjust the existing {{ChristianityWikiProject}} to include separate individual assessment information for each relevant Christianity project, and display the projects which deal with it, like perhaps the {{WikiProject Australia}} does, would the members of this project object to having that banner ulimately used in place of this project's one? It might help reduce the banner clutter, as well. John Carter (talk) 18:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC) |
