Main topic?[edit]

Dear Anglicanus, have you seen where the query Roman Catholicism redirects? Have you seen the names of the categories where this article is categorised? Have you seen anything in this article that does not pertain to the article Catholic Church? Then what is your concern about it? PPEMES (talk) 12:08, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm new to editing/contributing to Wikipedia, so please forgive me if I'm doing this wrong, but it seems to me that Anglicanus does not recognize that the term "Catholic Church" and "Catholicism" are the official titles of the "Roman" Catholic Church. Anglicanus, I'm assuming, based on your username and recent changes, that you personally believe that the Anglican Church can also be referred to as the Catholic Church. In regards to this article ("In persona Christi") maybe it would be useful to add a section that differentiates Catholic theology from Anglican theology, but to keep changing references to the Catholic Church as "Roman Catholic Church" is unnecessary and inaccurate since "Catholic Church" is the official title.

"Roman Catholic Church" is also often used as an "official" name by the church itself. There is plenty of historical and current evidence to clearly demonstrate this fact. So any arguments to the contrary are simply false and ignorant. Yahboo (talk) 03:20, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Until Catholic Church#Name reflects your perspective, I'm not sure what to do with it. PPEMES (talk) 09:44, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"The Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church ..." That is a fact whether you like it or not, which you obviously don't given your ongoing campaign to have Wikipedia articles reflect your POV on the matter even in articles on other church traditions which also describe themselves as "Catholic".

@Anglicanus: It's indeed a big discussion. May I suggest you bring your thoughts to the perhaps most central discussion on this historical debate on Wikipedia, that is Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Catholicism)? PPEMES (talk) 00:25, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
